Chapter 165 The Prologue Begins (End)
"He finally returned to Konoha."
Hearing the news brought by King Mu, Naruto leaned against the rock wall, closed his eyes, and immediately entered the mirror world.
After a while, Sasuke suddenly formed a shadow clone and walked out of the cave.
Sakura's eyes lit up: "Did Sasuke-kun let the shadow clone go out to guard?"
"Ah."
Sasuke agreed blankly.
Sakura smiled and said, "Then let me help too."
"Being not."
Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw the puzzled expression on Sakura's face who was about to make a seal, and he continued: "When my shadow clone comes back in the middle of the night, you can separate out the shadow clone and go outside to change my shift, that way We each have time to rest and recharge our batteries."
"Oh."
Sakura nodded thoughtfully, but she immediately asked in doubt: "But is it okay to do this? Naruto went out just now, and he should also have a shadow clone to watch the night around."
"You don't know about him yet?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto who seemed to be asleep, and said in a jealous tone: "This guy has created hundreds of shadow clones in school before he graduated. Do you think we can compare with him?"
"Um~"
Sakura's tone faltered, and then she sat down with a stiff face, remembering that Naruto would casually use dozens of shadow clones to do the tasks for him, and this time the Chunin exam was so dangerous, she felt that she should try her best It's better to keep your own chakra.
At this time, another Sasuke who walked out of the cave found a shadow clone of Naruto, and the two disappeared out of thin air without saying a word. When they reappeared, they were already standing in a bright laboratory in the Snow Country .
"After the operation, go to the cultivation room on the second floor downstairs, and someone will take you back there."
After Naruto finished speaking, there was a "bang" and it exploded into smoke.
Seeing Naruto disappear, Sasuke split into two shadow clones, and then bent the five fingers of his left hand to hold a small glass jar out of thin air. He looked at the double hook jade sharingan floating in the jar, and he walked towards the operating table.
Ten minutes later, Sasuke came to the second floor downstairs. After bypassing several corridors along the way, he stopped in front of a very tall and huge iron gate.
"If you use cloning technology in the cultivation room."
Rumble!
While Sasuke was thinking, the iron door slowly slid towards the sides, and soon he saw an acquaintance come out head-on.
"Keijiro?"
The person who stepped out of the gate was Keijiro. He bowed respectfully to Sasuke at the gate, and then walked in another direction without saying a word.
"Ok?"
Sasuke stared at Keijiro's far away back. In the past, when he saw Keijiro and others, he used the transformation technique, but judging from Keijiro's expression just now, it was obvious that he had known himself for a long time.
"It's definitely Naruto's fault"
After having a conclusion in his mind, Sasuke stepped across the gate of the cultivation room in two steps. After entering the door, he was immediately attracted by the tall stone seat directly in front of the cultivation room.
"Your movements are a little slow."
Naruto came out from behind the stone seat.
"Can white eyes still be used like this?"
Sasuke came under the stone seat and looked up at a five-meter-diameter glass ball suspended above the stone seat. The ball was almost filled with white eyes. Every once in a while, this ball would light up once. When it glows, all the white eyes inside instantly merge into one, and images of scenes of mountains and rivers, people and buildings are reflected.
Naruto shook his head slightly: "It's an unintentional failure."
"Failure?"
Sasuke didn't think so, he reached out and handed Naruto a glass jar, which contained the Sangodama Sharingan he replaced, and at this time the ball shone again, this time he not only saw the capital of the Snow Country, I also saw the ice field where I usually practiced.
Naruto took the jar that Sasuke handed over and said, "Now in the entire Death Forest, except for the pharmacist pocket, only our seventh squad is still on the periphery of the central tower."
"That pharmacist is looking for me."
There was a gloomy look in Sasuke's eyes, and the murderous intent showed unconsciously.
"Sorry, he can't die yet."
Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "This person is still useful to me."
"Ok?"
Sasuke frowned: "You want to use him to do it."
Swish!
Another Naruto appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air.
"Yaoshidou is very close to us."
Naruto standing beside Sasuke handed the glass jar in his hand to Naruto who had just appeared, and then grabbed Sasuke's shoulder with one hand and launched Thunder God back to the cave on the death forest side.
"You let me kill the person Orochimaru sent to find me before, what do you want to keep him?"
Sasuke asked suspiciously after standing still.
"Are you so curious?"
Naruto smiled faintly and said, "Would you believe me if I said that I kept him just to help me resolve some personal grievances?"
"Personal matters?"
Sasuke frowned, and he remembered Naruto's beating during the day when he was acting.
Could it be that he wants to use Yaoshidou to take revenge on Orochimaru?
"Ji Lai actually knew Payne's identity?"
In the mirror world, Naruto was a little surprised to see Jiraiya questioning Sandai Hokage about his three disciples. In the screen, Sandai Hokage was silent for a while, and then he directly asked Moonlight Hayate to go to the archives room and hand over the files about Hanzo from the Land of Rain Zilai also.
However, Zilai was also obviously a little dissatisfied, he turned around and left with the file, without saying a word to Third Hokage the whole time.
"Heh~ This old man dare not tell the truth to his disciple."
The nine lamas said mockingly: "Those files were compiled and reported by Danzo, and the content of the meeting and conversation between Danzo and the Third Hokage is different from the files. There is nothing in the files that Danzo and Hanzo want to seize the eye of reincarnation. "
"Zirai is not stupid. Since he can produce the files of Rain Country about his three disciples, then Konoha must have something to do with what happened to his three disciples. The Third Hokage is obviously guilty of doing so."
King Mu raised his neck to accept the words of the Nine Lamas, and he stepped forward and continued: "What I'm wondering about now is that before Danzang's data puppet appeared, we only knew that Payne from the Akatsuki organization had the eyes of reincarnation, but later After looking at Danzo's memory, it turned out that Nagato among the three disciples of Jiraiya had the eyes of reincarnation, and we also knew that Payne's name was Yahiko, and he was also one of Jiraiya's disciples."
"But Yahiko died in the conspiracy of Danzo and Hanzo back then, but now he is alive and well, and he has the eyes of reincarnation, but Nagato disappeared. What is going on?"
Iso Fuwen said in a low voice: "Maybe that Yahiko is not dead, but he snatched Nagato's Samsara Eye from behind."
"I don't think so."
Shigeaki flew into the air and said: "Look at the strength of that Nagato after the samsara eye exploded. Danzo and Hanzo teamed up and led a group of jounin to besiege him. In the end, he could only escape. No matter how strong that Yahiko is, it is impossible." Take the eye of reincarnation from him."
"This kind of thing actually has nothing to do with strength at all."
Nine Lamas sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Think about that Uchiha Shisui, first he was poisoned, and [-]% of his strength was directly destroyed. In the end, if he hadn't overdrawn his vitality and desperately opened Susanoo, both eyes would probably be destroyed. Danzo took it away."
Mu Wang blinked, lowered his head, and said softly: "Naruto, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about how to find Jiraiya and get the key to the seal."
Naruto closed the bullet box, turned around and said, "The previous three generations of Hokage wanted Jiraiya to help me lift the five-element seal, and by the way, let Jiraiya also guide me in cultivation within a limited time, so that Jiraiya could build mutual trust with me. However, as you saw just now, Ziraiya brought up the matter of his three disciples from the Land of Rain within a few words, and the Third Hokage didn’t even have time to ask him to contact me.”
"If Jilai also read the files and wants to go to the Land of Rain to do an investigation again, then my hope of getting the key to the seal is very slim, and if it wasn't for Jilai who also showed up on his own initiative, no one in Konoha would know that he came back gone."
"It's like I usually use the shadow clone as a cover to attract attention, and the main body changes its own chakra fluctuations to move freely in Konoha. In addition, I believe everyone can see that Jiraiya is also in a bad mood when he comes back this time. It is impossible to fall into the trap I have prepared for him."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Ji Fu, Mu Wang, and Zhong Ming in mid-air, the three tailed beasts looked at Kurama silently.
Kurama pricked up his ears and stared at the three tailed beasts, and then said in a concentrated voice: "I suspect that the group of toads from Mt. a disciple."
"On the other hand, I don't think Jiraiya will leave immediately after returning this time. We still have a chance."
"Oh?"
Naruto raised his head in surprise: "Nine Lamas, what is your basis for saying that?"
"I don't say you will find out soon."
Kurama called out a bullet frame, and after toggling it a few times, it popped out a claw and pointed at the bullet frame and said: "Didn't the third Hokage say that this Orochimaru is back, and Jiraiya, who is also a Sannin, knows The old friend who betrayed Konoha is back, no matter how much he cares about his disciples, he will help Konoha find Orochimaru before leaving."
"I actually overlooked this point. In Dashewan's memory, Jiraiya has been tracking his whereabouts for so many years."
Naruto's expression moved slightly, looking at Dashemaru's head, he thought: "However, Jilai who suddenly returns to the village may become a variable in our current plan, and we must find a way to get Sandai Hokage to send Jilai as soon as possible. Come to me."
Nine Lama grinned, and winked at the other three tailed beasts, and they disappeared into a stream of light at the same time.
~
the next day.
The three of Naruto walked out of the cave, and after each supplemented with a Bingliang pill recommended by Kakashi, they stepped on the tree trunk and continued on their way to the central tower.
Not long after walking, Sakura who leaped into the air suddenly asked suspiciously: "Sasuke-kun~ we have collected all the scrolls now, why don't we hurry up?"
Sasuke stopped, turned his head to look at Naruto, and found that Naruto was also looking at him with strange eyes. His eyes were slightly fixed, and he said in a low voice: "The assessment requirement is to reach the central tower within 5 days. Since we have already obtained The scroll, you only need to arrive at the specified time, and the closer you get to the central tower, the more dangerous it will be."
I understand!
Sakura suddenly realized: "Now there must be someone ambushing around the central tower to snatch other people's scrolls!"
Sasuke nodded noncommittal, glanced at Naruto, and found that Naruto had the same expression as Sakura, and his heart shuddered.
"Yaoshidou must be nearby!"
After guessing in his heart, Sasuke kicked hard and continued to leap forward, Sakura and Naruto followed immediately.
Not long after, a figure emerged from the ground under the big tree that Sasuke had stepped on before. He glanced at the direction Naruto and the others were running. He lowered his head and took out a stack of cards. After pulling out a card, he He took out a pen from his back and began to write on the card.
At the same time, Sandai Hokage came downstairs to a small five-story building alone. He took a puff of his pipe and walked into the corridor. A few minutes later, he came to the top of the building. A burly figure was already standing.
"Where are their children?"
The burly person is Jiraiya, and this small building used to be the home of the Fourth Hokage, and it was still empty before, but after the explosion that night when the Uchiha clan was exterminated, it became the current small building.
"A lot has happened in the village over the years."
The Third Hokage walked slowly to Jiraiya's side: "Because of my special status, I concealed Naruto's background and arranged for him to live in another place. Now he is undergoing the selection for the Chunin Exam."
"He went to take the Chunin exam?"
Jiraiya stared at the third Hokage: "If I remember correctly, when you sent me a letter last year, you said that he graduated this year."
"Yes."
The Third Hokage nodded calmly and said: "This year, all newly graduated ninjas have taken the chunin exam. His instructor is Kakashi, and one of his teammates is the only boy who survived the night of the Uchiha genocide——Uchi Hasasuke."
Jiraiya's face softened when he heard that Naruto's instructor was Kakashi, but later he heard that one of Naruto's teammates was Sasuke Uchiha, and his expression changed immediately.
"You want to control Nine Tails!"
"I don't deny this, but I mainly don't want the Nine-Tails Rebellion to reappear in the village."
The Third Hokage sighed: "But now this expectation may come to nothing with the appearance of Orochimaru."
Jiraiya looked solemn: "Oshewan?"
"Yes."
The third Hokage spit out a string of smoke rings, and said in a deep voice: "He has his eyes on Sasuke. According to Hongdou's report, Orochimaru himself said that he left the same curse mark on that child as on Hongdou's shoulder, and said that Sasuke is very suitable. Be his container."
"I can not help you."
Zilai also shook his head lightly and said: "I didn't keep him when he was seriously injured by you, and it is even more impossible to catch him now."
The third Hokage was silent when he heard the words, and after a while he said: "I will solve the Orochimaru issue myself. I came to you to let you solve the problem of Naruto's practice."
"A question about Naruto's practice?"
Jiraiya frowned: "What practice problem can't even be solved by you?"
"Ah~"
The Third Hokage sighed, "Many years ago, Naruto was tempted by the Nine Tails in his body."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"I didn't expect that we didn't encounter an ambush!"
On the side of the central tower, Sakura gave the two scrolls to an examiner with an excited expression. After the examiner checked that the scrolls were correct, he led the three of them to the temporary rest room after passing the examination.
But before the three sat down, Kakashi walked in suddenly.
"Sasuke come out with me."
