In an instant, a violent gale arose once again, rushing towards Jiraiya with fierce intensity!
Jiraiya couldn't help but frown, his eyes narrowing as he assessed the attack.
"These are truly dazzling techniques..."
"It even feels like I'm sparring with Sarutobi-sensei back then..."
He suddenly unleashed the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, not only blocking the Wind Release: Gale Palm, but also hardening his white hair and fiercely binding Naruto with its steel-like strands!
But just as he had successfully restrained him, Naruto's figure suddenly turned into a gust of wind, his afterimage disappeared, and his real body had already escaped, retreating more than ten meters away!
"Huh? What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
Naruto chuckled and began to breathe heavily, wiping sweat from his brow.
"This is my self-created Wind Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?!"
Jiraiya nodded sincerely, a genuine smile crossing his face.
"That's really impressive..."
Naruto had reached his limit and was about to rush forward when Jiraiya stopped him with a raised hand.
"Alright, that's enough."
"Why hasn't the outcome been decided yet?!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily: "If you want to defeat me, you'd better train for another ten years!"
"However, Naruto, you are already amazing, even stronger than I imagined."
"At your age, I'm probably not as good as you."
In reality, Jiraiya was just patting himself on the back.
When he was Naruto's age, he was basically useless...
But since Naruto didn't know either, he could only let Naruto brag.
Although Naruto didn't know the details, he was incredibly proud to hear that one of the legendary Sannin, a man on par with the monster Orochimaru, was praising him so highly.
"Right, right?!"
"I really am a genius!"
Jiraiya nodded sincerely.
"However, without relying on the cursed seal or the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, I cannot even see where your ultimate destination lies..."
Have you thought about it?
Kakashi-sensei asked this question before.
Naruto immediately shared his idea for the Wind Release Chakra Mode, explaining it with excited gestures.
Jiraiya's heart stirred.
"Wind Release Chakra Mode?"
"That's a great idea indeed!"
"You've got a knack for this!"
"If it could really be created, even if it couldn't become Hokage, it would at least have the power to fight against a Kage-level powerhouse!"
Naruto was overjoyed: "Really?!"
"Certainly!"
"However, there is no shortcut to mastering Wind Release Chakra Mode. The difficulty is probably no less than becoming Hokage."
"Unless..."
Naruto hurriedly said, leaning forward eagerly, "Unless what?!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily: "Unless you have a truly masterful teacher to guide you!"
Naruto couldn't help but sneer, crossing his arms. "You're not going to say again that you're such a great teacher yourself, are you?!"
"Exactly!"
Seeing Naruto's attitude, Jiraiya became displeased.
Why do you look like you've been wronged?
"You want me to teach you but I won't..."
Jiraiya crossed his arms, glanced longingly at the empty river, sighed, and prepared to leave without looking back.
Naruto suddenly realized what was happening and quickly grabbed Jiraiya's leg, tugging insistently.
"No, please guide my training instead..."
"Please, you Pervy Sage!"
Jiraiya angrily retorted, "Don't call me the Pervy Sage!"
"Alright, you Pervy Sage!"
"..."
Seeing that Jiraiya was determined not to help him, Naruto simply unleashed his ultimate technique, his strongest ninjutsu...
"Sexy Jutsu!"
In an instant...
Naruko made a dazzling appearance, striking a pose with a wink.
Jiraiya was instantly immobilized, his eyes gleaming with delight...
"This, this is amazing!"
"Perfect!"
"I can teach you, no problem, but you have to keep doing this..."
Naruto instantly reverted to his original form, angrily shouting, "You really are a super pervert, you Pervy Sage!"
Jiraiya instantly lost interest, shaking his head.
"Okay, okay, I can help you, but it depends on your performance."
"Really? That's great!"
Jiraiya said, "Don't be so happy yet. Tell me what you're training for?"
Naruto revealed Kakashi's plan, which was to counter the various strategies employed by the contestants in the final battle.
The first is dealing with illusions.
Jiraiya chuckled: "Kakashi, his brain is still as sharp as ever..."
"As expected of Minato's disciple."
"What he said are indeed the best ways to deal with illusions."
"Since it's only one-on-one and there are no companions around, besides disrupting your own chakra and using pain to stay awake, the only thing to do is to realize in time that you've been caught in a genjutsu, regain control of your own chakra, and release the hand seals to break the genjutsu."
How's it going with you?
Naruto stroked his chin: "Hmm...it's hard to say, since no one's casting a genjutsu on me!"
"Hey? You Pervy Sage, why don't you try using illusion magic on me?!"
Jiraiya: "...I'm completely bad at illusions too!"
"Tch, they call themselves the legendary Sannin, and they can't even do genjutsu?"
Jiraiya was furious: "Every ninja has their strengths and weaknesses. No matter how powerful I am, I can't possibly know everything!"
"He's not Sarutobi-sensei!"
"Sarutobi-sensei? You mean the Third Hokage?"
"Yes, he's known as the professor of ninjutsu. He's mastered thousands of ninjutsu techniques and is proficient in almost all the ninjutsu, secret techniques, and even forbidden techniques of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!"
Naruto was overjoyed: "Then why don't we have the Hokage accompany me in my training!"
Jiraiya rolled his eyes at him: "I think you're dreaming!"
"Sarutobi-sensei is so busy, where would he find the time to train with a little brat like you?"
Naruto asked, "Then, who else can use genjutsu?"
Jiraiya said, "Truly powerful genjutsu-type ninjas are few and far between, but there are quite a few ninjas who are only good at a certain genjutsu."
"For example, your teacher Kakashi can also use genjutsu."
"Kakashi-sensei? It's a pity he went to train with Sasuke."
Jiraiya said, "Then there's no other way. Let's just grab one at random."
He led Naruto toward the village.
Just at the village entrance, they encountered Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, who were guarding the gate.
Jiraiya then asked, "Do either of you know illusion magic?"
The two were taken aback when they saw the man in front of them.
"You, you are not... "
"The legendary Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin?!"
Jiraiya smiled slightly: "Not bad."
Cold sweat broke out on Izumo and Kotetsu's foreheads.
"I heard you've been traveling around the world outside the village. I wonder when you'll be back?"
"This is fantastic news! We'll inform the Hokage right away!"
Naruto frowned and said, "Is this Pervy Sage that famous?"
Izumo Kamizuki said, "Of course, he's one of the legendary Sannin, renowned throughout the ninja world..."
"Moreover, this is precisely the time when we need Jiraiya-sama the most..."
"You probably don't know, do you? The man who's on par with him..."
Jiraiya said, "Orochimaru, I already know."
The two exchanged a glance: "That's great! With you here in Konoha, we can rest assured..."
Jiraiya shook his head: "I didn't come here to talk about these things."
"I promised Naruto I'd train with him, but I'm not good at genjutsu. Do you know any genjutsu-type ninjas?"
Kotetsu Hagane said: "If it's a basic illusion, I can use it too..."
Jiraiya laughed: "Alright, then it's you!"
"Come with us!"
"You're leaving already?"
"Certainly!"
Kotetsu Hagane had no choice but to say, "Then, Izumo, I'll leave this place to you."
Don't worry.
He followed Jiraiya with great excitement.
Naruto pursed his lips, still finding it hard to believe that this Pervy Sage could be so highly respected and renowned...
Jiraiya led the two to another secluded place.
"Alright, your name is Kotetsu Hagane, right?"
"Use genjutsu on Naruto. Naruto, try to break it using the genjutsu dispelling technique I taught you."
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"
"Alright, you Pervy Sage!"
