Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 226 Kakashi: The Yellow Moonlight is Gone

It's clear that while Orochimaru is doing things related to bonds, he's actually indifferent to them and even opposes them rationally.

While Jiraiya and the others were still immersed in the fact that Jiraiya was bound by the virginity mark and would have to transform from a perverted sage into a virtuous gentleman, Orochimaru had already thought of another possible outcome.

—What if Jiraiya's mind becomes twisted after being restricted from fighting on the front lines, and he tries to expand the rear battlefield?

That's not impossible.

Then Jiraiya can give himself some of the essential items for Little Blue, and he can perfectly avoid the seal in front of him.

To prevent this from happening, Orochimaru carefully sealed off the rear battlefield as well.

The method to unseal the seal from the rear is also very simple. All that is needed is for another person with wind-style chakra to use wind release mixed with sage chakra and to perform precise cutting to break the seal.

Otherwise, you can only go in, not out.

Oh no, you've got it backwards.

You can only leave, not enter.

Otherwise, not only would Jiraiya himself suffer greatly, but he would also transform into a "pencil sharpener," with his cursed seal generating tiny wind blades to cut him.

Modify that thing with a decorative knife.

Don't forget, Orochimaru is also a Wind Release ninja and quite likes to use Wind Release techniques.

Having accomplished all this, the group returned to Amegakure with the help of the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Tsunade returned as well.

Although what she just said was essentially an attempt to escape the terrible reality, she was right.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, it is indeed necessary to have a medical ninja on site.

As for Konoha?

This concerns the safety of the entire ninja world; what is Konoha compared to that?

If the ninja world is gone, can Konoha survive on its own?

After Bai Mo and his group left, Kakashi and Naruto returned to Jiraiya's hospital room.

Jiraiya's physique is really good; he has already regained consciousness.

Lying in bed, she helplessly shed two lines of tears.

Orochimaru was so vicious that he even removed his brain cavity.

"Kakashi, you will never see the 'Icha Icha' series again. The 'Icha Icha' series is now discontinued."

Jiraiya weakly raised his hand, trying to grab this loyal fan of his.

"What?!"

Kakashi was struck dumb, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.

Although his childhood sweetheart couldn't compete with the newcomer, and Kakashi now prefers the "Kiman" series, he has never given up on the "Icha Icha" series, which is his beloved!

You are all my wings!

Now one of its wings has been cut short!

If anyone clips my wings, I will destroy their entire paradise~ Waaah.

Kakashi was also very sad at this moment.

"Kakashi, don't be sad. It's not necessarily true. As long as we work hard to teach Naruto, there is still a chance to raise him before my creative inspiration completely disappears."

Jiraiya patted Kakashi on the shoulder.

"Huh? Me?"

Naruto pointed at himself, somewhat confused about what had happened.

Although I don't understand the situation, it seems that both the Perverted Sage and Kakashi-sensei are preparing to teach him seriously, which is a good thing!

He had tried every possible method before, but he couldn't get Jiraiya to give up his research and teach him seriously. He never expected Orochimaru to do it as soon as he arrived.

Orochimaru is actually a kind and honest person!

"That's right, Naruto, my future rests in your hands."

Jiraiya sighed deeply and placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders.

Some of the old men in the rings had no choice but to place their hopes of restoring their physical bodies on the protagonist, and in doing so, they had to impart all their knowledge to him.

Jiraiya...

He's in a similar situation now; for the sake of his health, he has to dedicate himself to teaching Naruto.

Jiraiya told Kakashi without any hesitation what had just happened and how to break the seal.

"Kakashi, you're known as Konoha's number one technician, and you're also Naruto's Jonin leader. Where do you think we should start now?"

Jiraiya asked the question.

"Uh, I think we should just let Naruto try mastering the Wind Release: Nature Transformation."

Kakashi was startled.

When he saw Jiraiya speak, he assumed that Jiraiya wanted him to replace Naruto.

He's not good at Wind Release: Nature Transformation; at most, when he uses Wind Release, it's copied with his Sharingan.

"Nature transformation... Wind Release ninjas are relatively rare. By the way, who in the village is particularly skilled in Wind Release?"

Jiraiya thought for a moment and then asked.

"Ah, Asma."

Kakashi looked embarrassed.

"..."

Jiraiya's lips twitched.

Asuma was killed prematurely by Naruto's son, Boruto.

This not only resulted in the disappearance of the "future older sister" that Boruto mentioned.

This has indirectly caused Naruto's path to improving his strength and mastering the Wind Release: Nature Transformation technique to be blocked. What a filial son!

"Anything else?"

Jiraiya asked.

"Orochimaru seems to be quite good at that too, right?"

"..."

"Oh, right!"

Kakashi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Jiraiya's arm. "Third Hokage!"

"That's right, the old man is proficient in all five elements! Hurry, hurry, let's go find the old man. Don't let him handle any official business, just leave it all to that little girl Shizune."

Jiraiya seemed to have found hope and seen the sunshine, and he got up from his hospital bed as he spoke.

(Mute: How can you be so selfish, you coward!)

Jiraiya and Kakashi led Naruto to the Third Hokage.

Jiraiya first recounted the events with tears streaming down his face, accusing Orochimaru of cruelty and ruthlessness.

It's only cruel when it happens to you; when others hear it, especially those who share Jiraiya's path and his teacher who knows him, Hiruzen Sarutobi just wants to laugh.

If it weren't for Jiraiya's feelings, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have said, "This is a good thing."

"Old man, from today onwards, you should stop handling official business and work with me and Kakashi to fully teach Naruto his training, so that he can stand on his own."

Otherwise, if the Otsutsuki clan were to reappear, they could save him temporarily, but not forever!

Jiraiya spoke very eloquently.

"Alright, it seems my Impure World Reincarnation body can have another use."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard and agreed.

After dealing with official business for a long time, I may not feel physically tired, but I do feel mentally uncomfortable.

Teaching Naruto is indeed an important and relaxing thing to do.

and……

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Kushina, who had been imprisoned.

To avoid being criticized later, I should do some good deeds now to make up for it.

While Naruto was being jointly trained by the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, Sasuke was practicing swordsmanship in a secluded corner of Otogakure.

That's right. After Sasuke joined Orochimaru, he was thrown back to the former Sound Village headquarters by Orochimaru.

In this chaotic area, Sasuke honed his swordsmanship under Orochimaru's tutelage, beginning to accumulate practical combat experience.
