Immortals start from Konoha

Konoha.

Next to the river where Naruto usually caught fish when he was hungry.

Jiraiya was lying on the pebbles on the shore, with his hands behind his head, a piece of grass in his mouth, and his face looked extremely comfortable.

Naruto, on the other hand, was fishing in the river with his pants rolled up.

Naruto can't be said to be beaten by everyone in Konoha, but he is hated by everyone. Therefore, even if he has money, he can't buy anything to eat in Konoha.

Even if you buy it, it is either fake or full of stuff.

In short, there is no good stuff.

Therefore, the clever Naruto learned to make his own food.

In order to catch fish in the river, he suffered a lot.

Even in winter when the river was frozen, he had to dig through the ice to catch fish in order to fill his stomach.

As for going into the woods to find food, it's not like he hasn't thought about it, but the woods are too dangerous.

And people often show up and tell him he can't go in, and then drive him out.

Over time, he gave up on the woods.

Fortunately, although this river is not too deep, there are many small fish, shrimps, crabs and so on.

This time Naruto caught more fish in the river, after all, he now had an extra mouth.

Although the lecherous sage's lazy look made him furious, it was not easy for him to find someone who didn't reject him and would be with him, and who didn't look at him strangely. Naruto still liked getting along with Jiraiya.

It's not because he has some sort of sage or sannin title that sounds very powerful at first sight.

Just because Jiraiya doesn't reject him, this is the simple reason.

If Jiraiya treats him well, then he will also be sincere.

He is such a person.

"I said, lustful fairy, you are basking in the sun, why do you have the nerve to let me work here alone?"

Naruto couldn't help but complain.

After all, catching those slippery fish is still very tiring.

Moreover, even if he didn't catch the big fish he was interested in, it slapped him several times with its tail.

His face still hurts!

"Well, please be considerate of me, an old man."

“If you don’t work, you won’t have food to eat!”

Naruto yelled.

Then went to grill the fish.

Jiraiya opened his eyes, looked at Naruto, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"In that case, how about I give you a ninjutsu?"

"If you don't learn it, it's definitely not a powerful ninjutsu."

Naruto refused without thinking.

After all, he had never seen this man passing by since he had known Jiraiya.

"Okay."

Jiraiya sat up and raised his hand, motioning for Naruto to look over.

Naruto looked over impatiently.

Then he saw a spinning ball appear on the palm of Jiraiya's hand, and he followed Jiraiya to throw it reasonably.

boom!

A huge explosion sounded, and the Rasengan thrown into the river exploded. The huge explosion caused the small river to stop flowing.

At the bottom of the river, a circular mud pit that was blown out also appeared.

After a few seconds, the sky-wide river water that was blown up fell.

slap~

The big fish that had just slapped him with its tail hit Naruto on the head, and then fell to the ground.

Looking at the fat fish struggling next to his feet, Naruto lowered his head so that his face could not be seen clearly.

He picked up a big stone at his feet and knocked the struggling fish unconscious with a bang.

Then grab the fish with both hands.

"Lovable Immortal, what are you doing!? You put out the fire I finally started!"

Naruto pointed at the fire that was extinguished by the river water and was smoking white, wishing he could bite Jiraiya.

"Um~this..."

He also scratched his head in embarrassment.

"In the worst case, I'll just help you regenerate."

Jiraiya asked Naruto as they started the fire.

"How about it, wasn't that trick I just did cool?"

"Well, let's just do it..."

Thinking of the ninjutsu Jiraiya had just performed, Naruto had the urge to learn it immediately, but he was too embarrassed to ask Jiraiya.

Jiraiya is such a human being, he naturally noticed that Naruto was embarrassed, so he said.

"Hurry up and grill the fish. If I'm satisfied, I'll do the same trick you just did."

"Really?"

"real."

Naruto neatly strung the fish on branches and stuck it next to the fire, unable to help but smile on his face.

And seeing Naruto so happy, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile.

Minato, your son really looks like you.

Jiraiya suddenly remembered that Naruto's name seemed to be the name of the protagonist in one of his novels.

Thinking of the Child of Destiny mentioned by the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya subconsciously associated the two together.

In other words, he expected Naruto to become the child of destiny, save the ninja world, and lead the ninja world to peace.

'Naruto, will you be the child of destiny? '

Since the Great Toad Sage said that the Child of Destiny is in Konoha, the Child of Destiny will definitely not be unknown and must have its own characteristics.

During the time they spent together, Jiraiya found more and more that Naruto was to his liking and that he was exactly like the son of destiny he expected.

In his heart, the possibility that the child of destiny is Naruto is very high!

Whether it was Minato's child or possibly the child of destiny, it was worthy of Jiraiya to train Naruto properly.

On the other side, Kakashi is also giving Sasuke special training.

In the hope that he would be able to learn the Chidori before the third Chunin Exam.

What happened to the others, Hyuga Neji didn't know.

Hyuga Neji did not disrupt the rhythm of his life because of the Chuunin Exam. It was the same as it was before, and it is still the same now.

Perhaps, the only difference was that he received more Qi and Blood Pills from his family.

It used to be one pill a day, but now it’s two pills a day, twice as many.

And Hyuga Ningzi used to swallow one Qi and Blood Pill a day.

With his current strength, one Qi and Blood Pill a day is enough, but he cannot refine more.

Save the money for later use.

After all, Qi and Blood Pills are never enough.

You can see it from Hinata.

Since she started practicing, she has used a huge amount of Qi and Blood Pills!

If it weren't for half of the Kyuubi, the entire Hyuga clan would have been drained by her alone!

···········

Time passed by, and the day of the third Chunin Exam finally arrived.

The dignitaries and wealthy businessmen from various countries have also arrived in Konoha, all looking forward to the exciting ninja showdown.

At this time, the venue for the Chunin Examination was full of people.

Most of the people are civilians living in Konoha, and a small number are dignitaries and wealthy businessmen from various countries.

The Third Hokage and Orochimaru disguised as Kazekage also sat together, looking extremely harmonious.

The third generation looked down at the lively crowd at the venue, with a smile on his lips.

Under his leadership, Konoha would be so dynamic, which made him feel extremely gratified.
