Naruto's Journey to Training

Tsunade arrived in Konoha from a remote city in the Land of Fire, riding a steam train, which is now a popular means of transportation in the Land of Fire.

As soon as she left the station, she was shocked by the tremendous changes in Konoha.

There were tall buildings everywhere, and only occasionally could one see the familiar shadow of Konoha five years ago. And if he remembered correctly, when he left Konoha, this place was still a forest, but now it was filled with commercial buildings.

There were a lot of people, it was noisy and bustling.

Tsunade was stunned, and was gently pulled by Shizune next to her, "Tsunade-sama, are you sure we are in Konoha and not somewhere else."

Tsunade came back to her senses and gradually suppressed the shock in her heart, "It can't be wrong, at least we can see the Hokage statue there!"

Tsunade had an excellent vision. Through the gaps between the tall buildings in Konoha, she quickly saw the familiar Hokage Rock. But strangely, there was no portrait of the little brat on it, which made her extremely puzzled.

What Yu wanted to say about this was that he didn't want such an ugly statue, not to mention that it was placed next to the Third Generation. If this place didn't have historical significance for Konoha, Yu would have wanted to find someone to tear it down long ago. Now his portrait is either hung in the school or worshipped at home by the new Konoha villagers.

They pay homage every day, but as for the older group of Konoha civilians, they have long been buried in the vast crowd, and now they are the minority.

"You two, it seems you have just arrived in Konoha! Do you need a guide? I am the most famous Konoha expert in Konoha. Suddenly, a man with a greasy look left the crowd and appeared in front of Tsunade and the others and asked.

Tsunade was silent, "Do you know where the current Hokage Building is?"

"Of course, from here you can see that the tallest building is the Hokage Building!" Although the man was a bit slick, he was a relatively honest person and told Tsunade the location without hesitation.

Tsunade was about to pull Shizune to walk with her when the slick man called out to her, "My beautiful girl, it's a long way from here to the Hokage Building. Konoha doesn't allow ninjas to jump up and down now, as this will affect the citizens. If you walk there alone, you will be tired and easily get lost. So you give me 800 ryo, and I'll take you there with my chakra motorcycle."

After saying that, the man pointed to a very cool two-wheeled machine that could carry two people.

Tsunade looked over with a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what this thing was used for, but seeing how seriously the man spoke, she felt that it couldn't be fake. Although she had lost all her money gambling, as long as they arrived at the Hokage Building, she didn't believe that the brat would not give her the money.

Without hesitation, Tsunade agreed, and the man walked towards his motorcycle with excitement. This was another big deal. Eight hundred taels was enough for his daily salary, and it was only a round trip, so it could be said that this was already a big profit.

After explaining the precautions, Tsunade and Shizune got on the motorcycle with curiosity. Amidst a roar, the motorcycle with blue tail flames flew away.

Tsunade and Shizune both looked at the city scene passing by in astonishment. For a moment, they both felt as if they were out of touch with the times.

At this time, Jiraiya was quietly wandering around Naruto, having been detained by the Guard Department for three months.

When he came out, he went straight to Myoboku Mountain, practiced for a while, traveled around the Ninja World, and wrote several masterpieces. However, his masterpieces are now banned books in Konoha and are strictly prohibited from being sold.

Later, the Sage of Myoboku Mountain told him that something had happened to the Child of Prophecy and asked him to return to Konoha as soon as possible. Only then did he return to Konoha reluctantly.

When he first entered Konoha, he was shocked by the changes before him.

It took him a long time to figure out how Konoha had changed so much. He felt very complicated about it, but he couldn't understand why Yu wanted to overthrow the daimyo and decided to take charge of the Land of Fire.

One village, one country. This is the standard set by the first generation. Why do the Uchiha people now insist on breaking this balance?

Once the balance between countries is lost, the Ninja World will see another war. Now, after five years of peace, is the Ninja World going to start another war because of this incident?

Originally, he wanted to question Yu directly.

But it was not until he accidentally met Naruto and saw Naruto's familiar appearance that he remembered that his apprentice's son was in Konoha.

Looking at Naruto and his two friends walking on the road with sunny faces, Jiraiya felt like crying for some reason.

It is true that the current Naruto is too similar to the Fourth Hokage. Without the influence of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, Naruto is now at least 80% like the Fourth Hokage. Both their temperament and appearance are very similar, of course, when they are quiet!

"Ah! Sasuke! It was this white-haired uncle who cheated me out of one thousand taels." Naruto was originally discussing the tactics after joining the Chunin with Sasuke, when suddenly his eyes blurred and he saw the liar he had been thinking about.

Jiraiya, whose eyes were already slightly red, froze. Looking at Sasuke and Hinata who suddenly surrounded him, Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, "Um, do you believe me when I say it's a misunderstanding?"

"Hmph! A greasy uncle who even deceives children is simply annoying." Hinata looked at Jiraiya with disgust. Now under Yu's training, she is no longer the timid girl in the original work. She naturally has the temperament of a young lady, and her gentleness is only towards Naruto.

"Uncle, are you going to pay the money back yourself, or should we send you to the Guard Department?" Sasuke opened his three-magatama Sharingan and spoke coldly.

Jiraiya looked at the crowd slowly gathering around him and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. If he had known this would happen, he would not have teased Naruto.

Jiraiya came in front of Naruto in an instant and said with a lewd look on his face, "Little boy, don't call the police. I will return the money to you!"

Naruto smiled a darkened smile and raised a finger, "I'll give it ten times as much!"

Jiraiya's face darkened. He couldn't believe that Naruto was so cruel. He only cheated him out of one thousand taels, but he asked him to pay back ten thousand.

Looking at Naruto's sunny face, Jiraiya didn't react for a moment.

Naruto quickly leaned close to Jiraiya's ear and said, "Uncle, let me tell you, one thousand taels is already considered a scam. If you are charged with defrauding the son of a hero, you will be in Konoha Prison for at least half a year. I have only increased it tenfold, which is already quite merciful."

It's not that Naruto is being petty, it's just that raising a fox is too expensive. Moreover, he feels no guilt at all when blackmailing an uncle who has ill intentions towards him.

"Son of a hero?" Jiraiya looked puzzled as he heard Naruto whispering in his ear.

At this time, Sasuke, who had quietly approached, snorted coldly, "Naruto defended the village at the cost of his own life. He is the son of the Fourth Hokage. Why don't you just look at the looks around you."

Sasuke kindly reminded Jiraiya, and only then did he realize that many of the civilians who had gathered around him were already looking at him unfriendly.

Of course, these are civilians who have migrated here in the last five years.

What's more, Naruto himself is a famous genius student in the ninja school, so he will naturally attract a lot of attention from the new immigrants in Konoha. Many new women in Konoha love this child who was treated unfairly in his childhood but still remains cheerful and sunny.

When educating his children, he would point at Naruto's portrait in the newspaper and talk endlessly about it, and he was even more disdainful of the older generation of Konoha villagers.

To the extent that the older generation of Konoha civilians now refuse to talk about the Night of the Nine-Tails, for fear of being criticized by these new immigrants who stand on the moral high ground.

After hearing what Sasuke said, Jiraiya's mood became even more complicated. He naturally knew what Naruto was like in Konoha.

However, comparing Naruto's current situation in Konoha, he felt filled with guilt. As a teacher, he was not even as good as Kushina's best friend.

He was basically aware of Naruto's activities these days. He almost always stayed at the house of the little brat Yu, and everything was taken care of by Fugaku's wife. If he didn't know the relationship between Mikoto and Naruto, he would have thought that Mikoto was Naruto's mother.

Filled with guilt, Jiraiya couldn't help but touch Naruto's head ashamedly. Perhaps the reason why this child can still maintain his current sunshine is inseparable from the Fugaku family.

"I'm sorry! Naruto!" Jiraiya said ashamedly while touching Naruto's golden hair.

"Hey! Hey! Uncle, why are you messing up my hairstyle for no reason? You should know that this is a hairstyle that is exactly the same as my father's!" Naruto looked at Jiraiya with an angry face.

Jiraiya's body stiffened.

The ordinary civilians who gathered around were also angry, "Who are these guys? How dare you bully the son of the hero of Konoha? I'm going to call the police now!"
