Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Thank you!!" After saying thank you softly, Uzumaki Naruto stood up and took the grilled fish from Jiraiya's hand.

"Hmm, is that the mark left by Minato?"

The moment Uzumaki Naruto stood up, Jiraiya saw the mark of the Shikigami Fūjin on Uzumaki Naruto's abdomen.

"It seems like it has been tampered with by someone?" Jiraiya, who also had some research on seals, naturally saw at a glance that the Shiki Fuujin on Uzumaki Naruto's abdomen had a circle of very incompatible and different seals.

Jiraiya's eyes moved slightly, but he said nothing. He just kept it in his heart silently.

"It's really delicious, you lecherous sage. I didn't expect you to have such a skill." There was a charred black on the corners of Naruto Uzumaki's mouth, but he still gave Jiraiya a thumbs up.

After eating and drinking, Uzumaki Naruto put on dry clothes.

"Lecherous Sage, can I come tomorrow?" Uzumaki Naruto looked at Jiraiya and asked before leaving.

"Of course, this is not my home!!" Jiraiya said as if it was a matter of course.

"Lecherous sage, I mean, can you continue to guide my training tomorrow?" Uzumaki Naruto said somewhat shyly.

Although Uzumaki Naruto did not completely learn how to tread water after this afternoon's training, Jiraiya's guidance still made Naruto feel that he had gained a lot.

"Of course no problem." Jiraiya looked at the young man standing in front of him through the blazing fire.

Faintly, I seemed to see a young man with the same short golden hair.

The young boy looked somewhat similar to Uzumaki Naruto.

Then the boy grew into a powerful ninja with sharp eyes in an instant.

"Great!" Jiraiya responded in the affirmative.

Uzumaki Naruto jumped up excitedly.

Then he skipped towards his home.

"Haha!!" Looking at Uzumaki Naruto's departing back.

There was a kind light in Jiraiya's eyes.

With a loud noise, the burning fire was put out.

Jiraiya also stood up and walked towards the center of the village.

Tuk-tuk-tuk! !

Konoha Hokage Building, Hokage Office.

"Come in!" came the slightly old voice of the Third Hokage.

Squeak! !

After the door rang.

Jiraiya appeared in the doorway.

"You guy, after being out for a while, you actually learned some manners?" The Third Hokage joked to Jiraiya while looking at him at the door.

"Old man, long time no see!" Jiraiya also raised his hand and greeted the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage took a deep drag from his pipe and then slowly exhaled the smoke.

This guy Jiraiya, I just praised him for nothing.

A little polite, but not much.

"When did you come back?"

"I'm back, and you didn't even know? Is there something Konoha can hide from you? Or are you using that technique to spy again?" Jiraiya tiptoed, wanting to take a look at the crystal ball on the Third Hokage's desk.

It is obvious that Jiraiya also knows the telescope technique of the Third Hokage.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not a god!" The Third Hokage rolled his eyes at his disciple in annoyance.

It's not like he uses the telescope technique all the time.

"You don't come back usually, why did you come back this time?" The Third Hokage naturally knew the temper of his disciple better.

"If I say I miss you, you definitely won't believe it!!" Looking at the Third Hokage's increasingly unfriendly expression.

Jiraiya coughed twice, then his face straightened.

"I discovered an organization that is targeting the tailed beasts of various countries."

"That's why I returned to Konoha first." Jiraiya said seriously.

"That incident back then..." After hearing Jiraiya's words, the Third Hokage asked with a little hesitation.

"Well, this organization was responsible for what happened back then."

"Sure enough, they are after the tailed beasts."

Jiraiya paused and continued, "And after Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he joined this organization."

"And I found out that this organization also absorbed Uchiha Itachi, who was the one who killed the clan."

"And not long after Uchiha Itachi joined the organization, Orochimaru took this..."

"Yeah!" The Third Hokage nodded.

The information Jiraiya said basically matched the information Uchiha Itachi secretly gave him.

This also proves that his decision to use Uchiha Itachi as a hidden player was a very clear decision.

In this way, we can obtain some useful information about this organization through Uchiha Itachi.

"And the goal of this organization is to target the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages!!" Jiraiya continued.

"Is that so?" The Third Hokage suddenly frowned. Uchiha Itachi did not mention this in the intelligence.

At the beginning, the village only guessed that the man in black was targeting the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Later, after Uchiha Itachi joined the organization, he never said that the organization's purpose was the tailed beasts, so the village gradually put an end to the threat of the organization.

But if the ultimate goal of that organization is the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages, then Konoha will need to reconsider the danger of that organization to Konoha.

The Third Hokage, who was suspicious by nature, couldn't help but doubt Uchiha Itachi's loyalty to Konoha.

"In that case, you will be in charge of taking care of the child for the time being." The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and said in a negotiating tone.

"Okay, no problem. That's Minato and Kushina's child, no one can pay attention to him." Jiraiya agreed directly.

This time when he returned to Konoha, a big part of Jiraiya's purpose was for Uzumaki Naruto.

"By the way, there are other seals on that child's body!" Speaking of Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya suddenly remembered the seal he saw on Uzumaki Naruto's lower abdomen today.

"Well, that was the seal I asked the Sealing Squad to set up." After saying that, the Third Hokage talked about the Nine-Tails riot.

"Old man, you are really going backwards as you grow older."

"I remember that Kushina never used this seal. If the child is not allowed to try to touch the power of the Nine-Tails, he will never be able to grow into a qualified Jinchūriki. Not to mention becoming a strong man."

"I will help him remove the seal on that child."

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment and said nothing.

It seemed as if he agreed with Jiraiya's words.

The Hokage's office was silent for a moment.

"This time, Konoha is preparing to hold a Chunin promotion assessment meeting." After a long while, the Third Hokage suddenly said.

"Isn't this held every year?" Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage in surprise.
