Ninja Ice House

It's not his fault that Jiraiya is eager, but the situation in the shinobi world is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Miaomu Mountain, which was considered sacred and inviolable, was turned upside down, which shocked Jiraiya.

The mysterious, powerful, and awe-inspiring Toad Immortal is powerless to fight back in the face of sudden disasters.

This is even more worrying as the person carrying Miaomu Mountain is still an old acquaintance - Uchiha Madara's filthy earth body.

Some time ago, Jiraiya received information that the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki was captured by the "Akatsuki" organization, and his worries became more and more intense.

Now Uzumaki Naruto's strength is far behind.

Because of the promotion of Gusugi Bu Shui and Xiang Phosphorus, Uzumaki Naruto learned the Shadow Clone Technique several years in advance, making him grow faster and become stronger.

But this is measured at the level of ordinary ninjas. If it is required by those monsters that can almost destroy the world, Uzumaki Naruto is still at the level of laying the foundation.

Indeed, it has reached a point where there is no need to delay.

The enemy has already begun to take action, and there is no longer any room for leisurely and steady improvement.

So, Jiraiya, who was consciously prepared, used the key of the Bagua seal left by Namikaze Minato to open a corner of the seal, allowing part of the Nine-Tails chakra to leak out.

In an instant, the violent power swallowed up Uzumaki Naruto's will.

Looking at the half-tailed beast monster that had lost its independence, Jiraiya had a solemn expression on his face. In the end, he had to use all his strength to hurt both the tailed beast-turned Uzumaki Naruto and stop the trend of his disciple's tailed-beast transformation continuing to deepen.

When Uzumaki Naruto woke up from his coma and saw Jiraiya lying side by side with blood-stained bandages all over his body and a look of weakness on his face, he couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Lovable Immortal, what's wrong with you?"

"Indescribable."

Seeing the disciple struggling to get up, but grinning due to the pain all over his body, he couldn't help but smile,

"Don't move. Your injuries are very serious. Even with the power of the Kyuubi, your body was overstretched to recover from the injuries. You were still in a coma for three days before you woke up. It shows that it was really very draining."

"How did I get injured, and you, you don't look good at all."

"Why, don't you remember what happened before?"

After Jiraiya's reminder, Uzumaki Naruto rummaged through his guts, and finally found out from the depths of his mind Jiraiya's attempt to liberate part of the Nine-Tails' power and enhance Uzumaki Naruto's strength.

"I failed?"

"No, half the battle is that I underestimated the power of the Nine-Tails."

Jiraiya, who had seen the power of the four-tailed jinchuriki, the five-tailed jinchuriki, the one-tailed jinchuriki and the eight-tailed jinchuriki, felt that he had roughly mastered the power levels of the tailed beasts. As a result, he immediately encountered a wake-up call.

Among the nine tailed beasts, Kyuubi is the most distinctive one.

Even though the Eight-Tails could fight the Nine-Tails to a great extent, they were defeated sadly because of lack of chakra.

But in fact, even if the other eight tails come together, it may not be possible to win the nine tails.

As the most powerful tailed beast closest to the Ten-Tails, the Nine-Tails is no longer on the same level as the other eight tailed beasts in terms of power.

If Jiraiya knew that Uzumaki Naruto only had half a Nine-Tails in his body, he would probably be even more horrified.

The power of the complete Nine-Tails has long exceeded the scope of human imagination.

Only Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who have the blood inheritance limit to completely restrain the tailed beasts, have the ability to treat the Kyuubi as a pet and handle it at will.

After solemnly explaining what happened and what he should pay attention to in the future, Jiraiya let out a long sigh.

"This way, when you face an S-class rebellious nin, you won't be helpless to fight back."

"Then...can we defeat Sasuke and capture him?"

Self also silent.

After a long time, the Toad Fairy said leisurely:

"That Uchiha orphan is so powerful that even your teacher Kakashi Hatake has to take him seriously. Not to mention..."

Ever since he encountered Fuma Arashi outside Tsukushi Castle and was repelled by Uchiha Madara's foul earth body, under the questioning of Naruto Uzumaki, he had to confess part of the reasons for Uchiha Sasuke's defection and the corresponding matters.

After knowing that Team [-] had ceased to exist in name only and fell apart, Uzumaki Naruto still did not give up his obsession with Uchiha Sasuke.

Especially after finding out what big things Uchiha Sasuke had done in the past two years, Uzumaki Naruto's frustrated heart became even more difficult to ease.

"I don't believe he wants to leave the Leaf Village. I will definitely bring him back."

Things like bonds are particularly important to Uzumaki Naruto.

"You take good care of your injuries. You are almost recovered. I will teach you some real combat skills, and then return to Konoha Village."

"Go back? But without Uchiha Sasuke, our seventh team will be separated. What will we do when we go back?"

"Well, the Godaime has his own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. I think it will probably be handled properly."

"Really."

Naruto Uzumaki, who has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, is still thinking of reorganizing Team [-].

Nowadays, it is no longer a question of whether Uchiha Sasuke himself will defect or not. He joined the organization of the Eight Masters, prepared to build a new country, and even prepared to create a great ninja village out of thin air. Is this something ordinary people can do?

Even if Uchiha Sasuke changes his mind, returns to Konoha Village, and changes his past, he will not gain the trust of the Konoha compatriots.

Even the villagers of Konoha would have a little prejudice against the surname Uchiha.

It is not easy to eliminate the barriers.

At the same time, on a tower several hundred meters away from the hotel where Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto were recovering, a mysterious man took back the telescope and passed on the information that Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto were safe and sound.

In less than an hour, Gushan Bushui, who returned to Yuqi Island, received this information.

"It seems that the day when Uzumaki Naruto returns to the village is not far away. 』

With Uzumaki Naruto's physique, it would take at most a month to recover as before, and it would take another half a year to completely complete his foundation. I expect to return to Konoha Village at the turn of spring and summer next year.

Gushan Bu Shui thought so.

In less than a year, "Shippuden" is about to begin. What else has not been done?

After much deliberation, Gushan Bushui couldn't figure it out and looked to the west.

"Are you going to meet Uchiha Itachi and make a deal with him?" 』

In his hand, there was a Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui, and a Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Fugaku.

It just so happened that the other Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku was in the hands of Gusugi Fusui.

Although for powerful ninjas, the same one does not affect their use, but it is still somewhat inconvenient.

It would be great if I could get two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan together.

If in the future, Uchiha Itachi still wants to help Uchiha Sasuke and gives his Sharingan to his younger brother, will he become blind?

Then there is Sora, that child who seems to be getting more and more accustomed to the pattern shared by the Nine-Tails chakra and the Mangekyo Sharingan.

If he becomes stronger, can he be given a slightly heavier role on the "stage" in the future?

-----------------

Sora, who was being considered, reunited with Sai, Nobu, Hatake Kakashi and the leading Jonin Yamato. After returning to Konoha Village, they were subject to a closer investigation. Morino Ihiki and Yamanaka Haiichi were the leading ANBU torture officers. , went through the tasks of several people in detail, and after finding no omissions, they were sent to Tsunade for processing.

After several rounds of inspections and no problems were found, the Anbu took him to the bachelor's apartment where he was resting, and told him not to run around in the past few days, as the Godaime might cause trouble for him.

On the other side, Mizuki, who officially worked in the "Root" organization, recruited a group of smart and capable cadres. Among them, Kurama Yakumo and Usami were the two people who were deliberately paid attention to.

After observing these two girls several times at close range, Mizuki knew that there were many secrets in them. The aura of violent fluctuations in mental power that ordinary people could not detect was too obvious to Mizuki now.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Now, I have a task for you..."

Mizuki said as he waved, and Shanfeng and Aburame Takegen, who had been serving as the "Root" organization's generals, came out.

"You two, together with Kurama Yakumo and Usami, go to the Country of Grass to find Uchiha Itachi..."

"what?"

Kurama Yakumo's expression turned solemn, and Usami's eyes couldn't help but shrink.

Uchiha Itachi?

This is a name that has haunted me for several years.

It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but later on, my mind became calmer and my feelings became deeper.

Until now, Usami didn't know how to face him.

As for Yamafaze and Aburame's roots, although Shimura Danzo ordered them to obey Mizuki's orders, whether they are convinced or not remains to be seen.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Usami asked:

"Can we find him when we go to the Country of Grass? I'm afraid none of us are his match and we won't be able to capture him."

"There is no need to arrest him. We need to find him and discuss something. A traitorous ninja of this level cannot be dealt with casually."

Just like Orochimaru, the ANBU pretended to chase him at first, but later on, they almost didn't care.

After the "Konoha Collapse Plan", Orochimaru's identity in the Sound Ninja Village was exposed, and it was not seen how persistent the Konoha Anbu were to pursue him and avenge the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen.

To put it bluntly, the value of an S-class rebellious ninja is so great that it is completely unfettered by ordinary rules and regulations.

Not to mention Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi, even Uchiha Sasuke, a guy like Uchiha Sasuke who defected so blatantly and caused trouble in the ninja world, didn't see the Konohagakure seriously pursuing him.

The pressure from the Fusagi family was only secondary. The real reason was that the top management of Konoha Village had never thought of killing him.

Although the two brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke are in trouble now, no one knows when they will come back and make a comeback.

"Negotiate?"

The four of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, each with their own thoughts.

Uchiha Itachi and the Leaf Village had a tacit understanding for a long time. They were double agents. It was not that there was no gossip at all, but there was no confirmation from the senior officials in the village.

Once you accept this "setting", many things are explained, but more often than not, they become more confusing.

Seeing that several people had no objections, Mizuki ordered:

"Take a break and set off tomorrow afternoon."

"Not this morning?"

Facing everyone's questions, Mizuki smiled slightly:

"I'm going to prepare something for you so that Uchiha Itachi can trust you and not take action against you. Of course, it's okay to take action. With your strength, you won't be helpless to fight back. As long as you disperse and escape, there is still hope. Bringing the news back."

This statement is really disappointing.

With the strength of four people, it would be difficult for them to escape with their lives in front of Uchiha Itachi?

Especially for young people who are arrogant and ambitious, it is even more intolerable.

Next, Mizuki didn't explain too much, but asked the four people to go back and prepare, and just leave when the time comes. As for the things that need special preparation, Mizuki will send someone to deliver them to the door when the time comes.

-----------------

Tsunade, who was worried, looked at the information sent back by Jiraiya. From between the lines, she could see how tragic the battle between Jiraiya and the out-of-control Kyuubi was.

Even the legendary Toad Sage was almost beaten to death, which shows how powerful Kyuubi is.

Uzumaki Naruto's training is progressing smoothly and he is about to return, which is indeed good news. Although the information about the capture of the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki was blocked, the Leaf Village still knew about it, and was naturally extremely worried about the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki who was away from home.

In the past few years, Tsunade, who has struggled to support herself, has become physically and mentally exhausted. It is already very troublesome to worry about trivial matters in the village. She also has to deal with challenges from all sides, especially the slight erosion of the Hokage's authority by the Furusugi family and the daimyo. .

Although everyone is now accustomed to the shadow of the Furusugi family in all affairs in Konoha Village, the two sides have not broken their skin and still want to continue to cooperate.

All in all, this is good news.

With Jiraiya coming back to share the pressure, the burden on Tsunade's shoulders will be lighter.

At this point, Tsunade thought of Sora who had just returned to the village. That boy, under the stimulation of foreign enemies, lost control for a time and almost killed himself, and also harmed his companions.

Fortunately, both the "Gathering of Eight Heroes" and the "Akatsuki" organization had their own plans and did not regard the Konoha ninja as a target, so everyone was able to come back without any danger.

Tsunade was a little lucky to know what happened.

I underestimated the difficulty and danger of the mission. If Hatake Kakashi hadn't been sent to follow, I'm afraid Yamato and the three young men would have ended up in that dangerous place.

As for Sora's tyrannical power and the Mangekyō Sharingan he possesses, his danger has been fully demonstrated.

"If the "Akatsuki" organization really wants to capture the Nine-Tails, can the powerful Sora also be a help, and even help Uzumaki Naruto survive the critical moment? 』

It sounds nice to say that it is a tribulation, but in fact, I feel that Kong can share the pressure and, when the time is right, he can also die as a substitute.

Although Sora is also a Konoha ninja, he is different from those who are close or distant.
