"What do you want to do?!"

Looking at the strange black stick in Sasuke's hand, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but shrink his neck, with an exaggerated expression of nervousness on his face.

"I mean, about the search for Pain's true self.

"Ok?"

Before Sasuke could finish his words, he saw that the orange eyeshadow on Uzumaki Naruto's eyes had faded.

The yellow pupils that were originally like those of a frog now returned to their usual azure color.

"what's the situation?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned, and the black stick that was half-raised stopped.

"Ah, I've run out of senjutsu chakra.

"hey-hey."

Here, Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed:

"In Sage Mode, the use of Wind Style Rasenshuriken is only enough to support two shots at most."

"Then, how long will it take to activate it again?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked immediately.

"this one"

Uzumaki Naruto thought for a moment and said:

"If you include the shadow clone, it will take at least fifteen minutes."

After a pause, Naruto explained seriously:

“You may not understand that the most important thing about activating the Sage Mode is the absorption of natural energy.

"And the key to absorbing natural energy is to remain still. You cannot be disturbed by the outside world at all."

Stay still in the enemy's base.

Fifteen minutes?

“Enemy attack.

"Return to the Rain Village immediately."

Xiaonan said coldly at the middle finger position of the stone statue's right hand.

In the space of the magic lantern body technique, there were only four figures standing on the fingers of the huge stone statue.

On each of the remaining fingers stood the colorful phantoms of Deidara, Gaara, and Kisame.

"Why didn't Boss Payne come?

"Hehe, could it be that he has been killed?"

Next to Konan, at the position of the stone statue's right index finger, Deidara, in phantom state, tilted his head and asked jokingly.

"People from Konoha?"

In the distance, on the ring finger of the stone statue's left hand, Hoshigaki Kisame asked in a hoarse voice.

Here, Konan ignored Deidara's teasing and said calmly:

“The person who came is none other than the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"And Uchiha, Sasuke."

Before he finished speaking, Gaara felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard the name.

His whole body trembled and his eyes were bloodshot.

The next second, Gaara opened his mouth and let out a cruel smile.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful phantom carrying the huge gourd swayed and disappeared directly into the space of the magic lantern body technique.

In his mind, Uchiha Sasuke quickly reconsidered his next battle plan.

On the side, Naruto looked up again and asked:

"So, what did you want to say about the search for Payne's true self?"

“Never mind, you’re right.

"Our mission has been accomplished."

Sasuke just sighed softly and threw the black stick in his hand aside.

Then, he took out a large storage scroll and sealed up the three corpses in front of him, saying:

“Let’s stop here for today.

"Let's go see Mr. Toad together."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto immediately smiled and nodded vigorously.

-

A giant orange mushroom.

Tall lotus leaves.

The sound of gurgling water.

Frogs taking a comfortable nap on the lotus leaves.

The legendary place of inheritance, Toad Country, Myoboku Mountain.

Uchiha Sasuke looked around.

Looking at this fairy-tale-like place, my eyes are filled with surprise and curiosity.

Has Uzumaki Naruto been staying in this place for all this time?

“Very novel, isn’t it?

"Hey, I was just like you when I first got here."

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto greeted Gamayoshi, who had summoned them both, with ease, while leading Sasuke into the mountains.

“Grandpa Fukasaku!”

Uzumaki Naruto pushed open the door, and in the warm little room, Shima Sennin, wearing an apron, came jumping out to greet him.

"It's little Naruto."

Shima Sage looked at Sasuke beside Naruto and asked:

"So, you are Uchiha Sasuke, right?"

"Yes."

Sasuke nodded cautiously.

"Where's the lustful immortal?"

Uzumaki Naruto asked loudly.

“He’s fine.

"It's just that I'll be unconscious for a while."

Shima Sennin couldn't help but sigh and said:

“My old man told me everything that happened today.

“If it weren’t for you two good kids.

"Little Jiraiya, I'm afraid.

"Oh! I prepared such a big table of delicious food for them.

"You came just in time, let's eat first."

"Eh?!"

When he heard about eating, Uzumaki Naruto looked as if he had heard something horrible and showed an extremely resistant expression.

"Hey, I feel energetic when I hear about eating.

"Hey, I'll be right there."

Sage Shima was already accustomed to Naruto's exaggerated expression and regarded it as meaning "expectation".

She smiled with satisfaction, turned back and said:

"Little Sasuke, you should also try my cooking."

"Good, good."

Caterpillar soup, blanched rice worms, grilled taro worms, cold fruit fly rolls.

Looking at the table full of "rich" food, even Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but reveal an expression of fear.

"You're welcome, eat more!

"I did this on purpose to show off my skills."

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto was a ruthless man of few words. Although his expression was still very ferocious, he simply picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of caterpillar soup and bit it.

Juice splashed everywhere.

For a moment, Uchiha Sasuke felt like his scalp was about to explode.

"Come on, eat!"

Uzumaki Naruto held his breath, resisting the urge to vomit.

I saw that his mouth was tightly closed and muffled sounds came out from between his teeth.

He looked straight ahead and warned Sasuke in a low voice not to have any unnecessary fantasies.

“Thank you for your hospitality.

"I, I started."

Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes in despair and reached for the food in front of him with his chopsticks.

"Wow—"

Beside the waterfall, Uchiha Sasuke was vomiting violently.

Beside him, Uzumaki Naruto looked at him sympathetically and whispered:

"Go ahead and vomit, it will make you feel better.

"Granny Shima has a very bad temper. You should never let her see you like this."

"Wow.

"So, when can we see Jiraiya?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked while vomiting.

"Well, Granny Shima mentioned it when we were having dinner just now."

Uzumaki Naruto recalled the previous conversation and said seriously while thinking:

“The Fountain of Healing.

“I heard that a few years ago, a giant hole was burned in the stomach wall of the Rock-Dwelling Toad in Myōboku Mountain.

"In the end, it was in that healing fountain that I was healed."

Is that the big toad from Suyan?

Uchiha Sasuke was startled when he heard this, and instantly recalled the night when he met Uchiha Itachi for the first time after a long separation.

At that time, Jiraiya used the "Toad Mouth Binding Technique" and almost captured Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame in one fell swoop.

"Amaterasu."

Uchiha Sasuke said silently.

On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto was confused and looked at Uchiha Sasuke. Seeing this, the latter continued:

"Have you forgotten? Not long after the Konoha Defense War, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame went to your doorstep to look for you."

"Ah, that's the day!"

Uzumaki Naruto finally remembered, and he smiled as if he had suddenly realized something.

“Anyway, even wounds of that size can be healed.

"Jiraiya, he will be fine!"

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the healing spring of Mount Myōboku.

The Healing Spring is hidden deep in a lush forest, surrounded by huge trees and lotus leaves.

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this holy place.

The spring water flows out from the rocks, clear to the bottom, as if it can wash away all the dust and fatigue in the world.

The spring water contains extremely rich natural energy.

Even though Uchiha Sasuke had never practiced the Sage Mode, he could clearly sense that a faint fluctuation of spiritual power was brewing.

"Lustful fairy!"

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto quickly discovered Jiraiya lying in the cabin.

I saw that his whole body was immersed in the water, with only his face floating on the surface.

The spring water flowed slowly through his body, constantly nourishing his scarred body.

"Sasuke, Naruto"

Hearing the sound, Jiraiya slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing these two disciples again, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions.

“Are you feeling better?

"Your arm."

Uzumaki Naruto asked with a sad face.

Seeing Jiraiya like this, he just felt very sad.

"Ah, it's okay.

"I managed to save my life."

Jiraiya struggled to sit up, leaning weakly against the bow of the cabin. He wanted to force a smile, but it hurt his wound and he made a funny grinning expression instead.

"Just lie down!"

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke was just looking aside awkwardly, refusing to look at him.

After hearing the noise and seeing Jiraiya's miserable condition, he finally couldn't help but keep persuading him.

Sasuke bent down and helped Jiraiya lie down again.

During the process, the master and the disciple looked at each other in silence.

An awkward silence spread in the air. Uzumaki Naruto, who noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, just stood there silently.

He looked back and forth at his master and senior brother beside him, at a loss as to what to do.

"I"

Jiraiya's lips moved, and he was about to say something, but Uchiha Sasuke also spoke at the same time.

He just waved his hand, sighed and said:

"It's good to be alive."

"cough"

Seeing this, Jiraiya didn't say anything more.

I only heard him coughing lightly, turning his head and asking:

“When did Naruto get together with Sasuke?

"I heard from Boss Fukasaku that your mastery of Sage Mode has surpassed mine."

"Hehe, it's okay."

Hearing his master's praise, Uzumaki Naruto scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly.

After a moment, Naruto suddenly remembered something.

He raised his head again, and asked loudly with a puzzled look on his face:

"So, you, the lecherous immortal.

"How did you come back to life?

"That day, and at the funeral, I clearly saw you, and you were indeed dead."

"Huh? This."

After all, I can't avoid this topic.

Jiraiya was stunned and turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke beside him.

That look seemed to say:

Haven't you explained it to him yet?

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke looked embarrassed.

He turned his back and began to appreciate the scenery of Mount Myoboku.

"this and that"

Jiraiya hesitated, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

“But now I understand completely!”

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto said with a smile:

"Everything you did was to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization and obtain intelligence, right?"

"?"

"?"

After hearing this explanation, Jiraiya and Sasuke were controlled on the spot.

Especially Uchiha Sasuke.

Previously, although it was hasty, he had explained to the other party about Danzo!

"Didn't I tell you? It's because..."

Uchiha Sasuke was about to speak, but he heard Jiraiya say in a decisive tone:

"That's right! That's what you said!"

This explanation is much more glorious than internal strife.

From now on, everyone will follow this statement, and return to the Konohagakure in glory.

On this side, seeing Jiraiya winking at him, Sasuke didn't know what to say.

"So, what was the result of your battle?"

Earlier, when Jiraiya heard Naruto mention Akatsuki again, his heart sank.

He turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"A great victory!"

Uzumaki Naruto said excitedly.

"The real body was not found."

Uchiha Sasuke said in a deep voice.

The two people's emotions are high and low, in sharp contrast.

Afterwards, Naruto and Sasuke recounted the entire battle process.

During the conversation, I listened to the two disciples' performances, both of which were so outstanding.

Jiraiya's heart was gradually filled with pride and honor.

".After comprehensive consideration, we decided to withdraw first."

Here, Uchiha Sasuke's story ends.

His tone was filled with regret that could not be concealed.

"You made the right decision."

Here, Jiraiya said seriously:

"After this battle, we have thoroughly explored the details of the Akatsuki organization.

"Compared to our previous passive position, we can finally formulate our response strategy based on the opponent's characteristics.

"From now on, offense and defense will change."

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, paused, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He said hesitantly:

"It's just that, regarding this Sage Mode, the search for Pain's true self, that

"cough."

Jiraiya looked at Sasuke in confusion, and after a moment, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

I only heard him laugh heartily:

"You want to learn, don't you?"

"what"

Uchiha Sasuke looked embarrassed and nodded shyly.

Seeing Sasuke like this, Jiraiya put away his smile again and said seriously:

“Sasuke, with your current strength and position.

"You are willing to learn Sage Mode. To some extent, this is also a blessing for Myoboku Mountain."

"hey-hey."

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto also patted Sasuke's shoulder happily and said with a sunny smile:

"This time, you have to ask me for advice!"
