"Alright."
Jiraiya skipped over the topic of Akihara Kagura and began speaking about his own matters: "Hand Naruto over to me. Although the old man choosing you to keep an eye on Naruto was a good decision, the situation has now become too complex for you to handle..."
"I have been watching Orochimaru, that guy. I know he once joined an organization that operates in a quite dangerous manner, recruiting many S-Class Traitorous Ninjas. They have a rather grandiose goal..."
When Jiraiya reached this point, he recalled some past exchanges between his students and sighed: "Perhaps their goal isn't as dangerous as Akihara Kagura's ideas..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake's eye twitched, and he proactively asked, "Will they harm Naruto?"
"Perhaps they will, perhaps they won't."
Jiraiya shook his head, continuing, "But sooner or later, Naruto will definitely come into conflict with them, and that will be very dangerous..."
Because...
Naruto signed the Summoning Contract of Mount Myoboku.
In a certain sense, Naruto Uzumaki is also my disciple.
Jiraiya understands his students very well. Nagato, leading the dangerous Akatsuki Organization, may or may not be the child of prophecy, but he aims to reform the Ninja World, albeit using dangerous methods;
Naruto Uzumaki, born in Konoha, has the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-tails, sealed inside him. He might also potentially be the child of prophecy, possessing exceptional ninja potential, and could likely bring about change to the Ninja World.
According to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and Jiraiya's judgment, these two people wanting to change the Ninja World will inevitably clash one day.
Jiraiya can't allow Naruto Uzumaki to continue staying by Kakashi Hatake's side. He wants to teach Naruto in his own way to help the kid grow up quickly.
Kakashi Hatake furrowed his brows and continued asking, "But with Kagura in the village, shouldn't it be safer?"
"Kagura can't protect him forever."
Jiraiya shook his head, his expression extremely serious: "Indeed, Kagura bears the responsibility of protecting Konoha, but placing all the burden on his shoulders is..."
"That's not what I mean..."
Kakashi Hatake waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that he didn't have that in mind.
"You also need to work hard in your training, and your student Uchiha Sasuke must be helped to grow up quickly as well."
Jiraiya glanced at Kakashi Hatake, earnestly advising, "That organization, with both Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito seemingly in it, don't harbor hope for those who have defected. The next time you meet them, find any way possible to kill them immediately..."
"!!!"
Kakashi Hatake's face changed abruptly.
"I'll first take Naruto away from Konoha."
Jiraiya straightened up and continued, "That kid, always making a fuss about becoming Hokage, this time might actually be of help!"
Jiraiya plans to take Naruto Uzumaki to meet Tsunade because he had agreed with the two Hokage Advisors to bring her back to become the Fifth Hokage.
However...
Tsunade might not agree.
Jiraiya believes Naruto Uzumaki has the potential to gain Tsunade's approval and thinks it would be convenient to teach him some training while taking him along.
"..."
Kakashi Hatake did not respond.
Because Kakashi Hatake was still contemplating Jiraiya's words.
If Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi are indeed in that organization, then sooner or later, he and his student Uchiha Sasuke would also come into conflict with them...
But...
Kakashi Hatake stretched out his hand and slowly clenched it into a fist. Could he really do as Jiraiya said and bear to kill Uchiha Obito?
"Never mind."
Kakashi Hatake sighed, recalling another person in that organization: "If Uchiha Itachi is there too, it's imperative that Sasuke grows up quickly..."
Kakashi Hatake plans to schedule a time with Uchiha Sasuke and have a good talk about how to use the Sharingan and training.
Within Konoha Village.
Two figures wearing hats sat in a shop.
Both of them were dressed in Cloud Black Robes, calmly enjoying their lunch, though it was just a dish of natto, a few skewers of tri-colored dumplings, and a cup of sweet soup.
One of them was eating seriously, gently picking up a skewer of tri-colored dumplings and putting it in his mouth, savoring the sweetness seeping from the dumplings.
"Does the food from the homeland still taste the same as it used to?"
The other person grinned and asked with a light smile, slowly raising his head to reveal a monstrous shark-like face; it was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, a member of the Akatsuki and S-Class Traitorous Ninja from The Hidden Mist Village.
"..."
The person questioned did not reply, instead strongly focusing on the plate of tri-colored dumplings, still intently chewing his food.
However...
Underneath the hat.
It was a face profoundly hated by the Konoha ninja.
Uchiha Itachi, a member of the Akatsuki and S-Class Traitorous Ninja from Konoha.
"It's dangerous here."
Uchiha Itachi didn't respond to Hoshigaki Kisame's words, only softly reminded: "If we're detected, we might get killed at any moment..."
"Are you worried about Akihara Kagura, who once defeated you?"
Hoshigaki Kisame showed no regard for Uchiha Itachi's warning, it even piqued his curiosity: "If given the chance, I'd very much like to have a nice duel with him..."
