Chapter 147 Visit

Seeing this gorgeous ninjutsu, Sasuke couldn't help but be stunned.

Naruto, who was working hard at the side with his head bowed, was also attracted by this brilliant brilliance, and stared in Jiraiya's direction with jaw-dropping eyes.

"Fire Release: Hero Rasengan!"

Following Jiraiya's loud shout, he suddenly leaned forward and smashed the red Rasengan in his hand against the boulder on the side.

"Boom——!"

Only a loud noise was heard. As the boulder shattered, a violent explosion was triggered at the location of Jiraiya's palm.

The blasting flames stirred up strong air currents, pushing Jiraiya backwards.

I saw him covering his face with both hands and being pushed backwards. After rolling several times to relieve his strength, he finally stood up slowly.

"Ahem, the biggest problem with this style is that while causing damage, you must also be able to protect yourself comprehensively."

Jiraiya clapped his hands, stood up with emotion, turned to Naruto who was not far away and said:

"After you create your new wind escape ninjutsu, I'm afraid you will have to think about solving this problem.

"But don't think about it too early. That will be a long time coming."

"So, will my Wind Release Rasengan be as powerful as this move just now?"

Naruto was shocked.

The huge expectations in my heart have gradually turned into incredible doubts.

"Maybe more. Wind Release, as the most aggressive chakra attribute, is likely to cause greater damage."

After finishing speaking, Jiraiya saw the wavering on Naruto's face and immediately said:

“People always overestimate what they can achieve in the short term, but underestimate the results of long-term efforts.

"As long as you persist, you will definitely be able to do it. Come on."

"Ok!"

After hearing the teacher's admonishment, Naruto regained his fighting spirit.

Immediately walked to the side and continued to work hard with his head down.

"As for Sasuke, the training location will have to change the scene."

Jiraiya turned around and said to Sasuke, gesturing for him to follow him.

The two greeted Naruto and walked out of the Hokage's house together. Under the leadership of Jiraiya, they walked towards the Konoha Forest on the outskirts of the city.

"What Naruto is doing now is the first stage, still strengthening the proficiency in nature change."

On the road, the two of them were walking quickly, and Jiraiya explained to Sasuke.

“But for you who have been skilled in using fire escape since childhood, I think you can skip it directly.

"Therefore, regarding your next practice, we will start directly from the second stage, that is,"

"Training with a large number of changes in nature in an instant!"

"!"

When Sasuke heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

I can’t help but start to look forward to the next practice.

After a while, the master and apprentice finally arrived in the forest and stopped in front of a lake.

Jiraiya stopped, turned to Sasuke and said:

"Do you still remember the sparring practice we had when we first met?"

"Ah, that's not a discussion at all. You're just guiding me unilaterally."

Sasuke replied while recalling the scene.

Recalling that it was at the Konoha River, Jiraiya was tempted by the prophecy and decided to try his strength.

In that competition, Jiraiya was absent-minded, but Sasuke tried his best, and finally relied on the "Lion Bullet" to defeat Jiraiya.

However, at the end of the battle, Sasuke suddenly realized that what he had defeated with all his strength was just a shadow clone of Jiraiya.

"I still remember that at that time, I was by a pond like this. Your main attack choice was the fireball technique. Hahaha, how young you are!"

Jiraiya laughed.

Sasuke was embarrassed by the laughter, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

Indeed.

Looking back, Sasuke still can't forget the huge shock he felt when he saw the "Fire Dragon Flame Bullet" for the first time.

At that time, the three huge flying fire dragons spit out from Jiraiya's mouth were able to evaporate all the water in the entire pond.

Its power is evident.

"Compared with other attributes, fire attribute chakra is more powerful and has a wider range. It has strong momentum and many functions.

"Although some people say that compared to attack, fire is inferior to wind; compared to range, fire is inferior to water; compared to speed, fire is inferior to thunder; compared to defense, fire is inferior to earth.

"But conversely, we can also understand it this way: Fire attribute chakra is the most balanced and comprehensive chakra attribute.

"If used properly, whether it is attack, defense, assistance, or feint, Fire Release Ninjutsu can be of great effectiveness."

Jiraiya explained slowly.

"Remember, there is no good or bad among the five attributes. The only difference is that of ninjas."

When Sasuke heard this, he couldn't help but think of the huge power of the "Fire Release Hero Rasengan" he had just seen.

I couldn't help but nod my head repeatedly.

"Speaking of fire dragon flame bullets, you and I can use them. So, what are the similarities and differences between the fire dragon flame bullets you use and mine?"

Jiraiya asked.

Regarding this point, Sasuke had already thought about it and immediately answered:

"With the Sharingan, I can control the fire dragon more precisely. But in terms of the power of the fire dragon, I am far inferior to you."

"Not bad," Jiraiya nodded and continued.

"The next stage of training is to complete this link. This will allow you to achieve a large number of instantaneous changes in properties, thereby improving your fire escape power in all aspects."

So, after such training, all of my fire escape ninjutsu can be improved to a certain extent?

"So what needs to be done is to lay a solid foundation."

Sasuke felt something in his heart and couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, he once again felt the height of Jiraiya's guidance as a teacher.

Get to the foundation, get to the essence.

Just like a martial artist, the practice of moves is of course important.

But after the basic attributes such as strength and speed are improved, the ability improvement will undoubtedly be more essential and solid.

"Not bad." Jiraiya nodded approvingly and chatted:

"When I was traveling around the world when I was young, I heard about such a martial arts legend. According to legend, he was just silently training his basic strength.

"However, when his basic abilities have exceeded a certain critical point, he no longer needs any moves to face any powerful enemy. One punch is always enough."

"It's a pity that according to legend, this man has a bald head. He is not like his master, who is like a lion and has such thick and charming hair."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at the water and looked at him.

"Let's start practicing quickly."

Sasuke couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled his master back.

"Ahem, in short, what you have to do is, without using any ninjutsu, just release the fire attribute chakra from your body, and then.

"Evaporate all the water in this lake instantly."

Jiraiya explained.

"All of them?!"

"That's right. If it were you, you could definitely do it."

Jiraiya nodded.

"Anyway, you can practice on your own here. When the lake dries up, go look for it elsewhere. I won't be with you all the time."

Without waiting for Sasuke's reaction, after the explanation, Jiraiya turned around and strode away.

Apparently, it was heading in the direction of Konoha Hospital.
-

In the next few days, Sasuke and Naruto each had their own worries.

One is fighting crazily with leaves, no matter what he is doing, he always has a leaf in his hand;

At dawn one day, I walked toward the forest alone, and didn't come back until the moon came over the branches.

However, for their own reasons, progress has been slow.

On the other side, the home of Konoha's top advisor.

Mito Kaden and Koharu were sitting opposite each other, talking about how to respond to the three routes proposed by Jiraiya.

"That boy Jiraiya, will he finish his vacation tomorrow, right?"

Xiaochun asked after going to bed.

On the other side, Mito Monoyan did not speak, but nodded silently.

"What do you think? That thing about Sasuke."

Xiaochun asked after going to bed.

"Oh, what's the matter about Sasuke?"

Mito Kadoyan chuckled, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a shallow sip.

"I think it's better to let him directly become a Jonin."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun sighed, her shoulders sank, and she said this.

"inappropriate."

Mito Menyan put down his tea cup and said calmly:

"The political signal is too obvious. If the boy is allowed to accumulate political resources so early, the minds of the six major families will also change accordingly. This may not be a good thing for Konoha.

"Furthermore, that kind of thing has happened to the Uchiha clan before. Uchiha Sasuke is too young now and his character is undecided. It is better to observe slowly for a while to be more secure."

"That"

Regarding the remaining two options, Xiaochun found them both unacceptable and didn't know how to choose.

"Since Jiraiya has already proposed it, let him go to ANBU." Mito Kadoen said calmly.

"But! Anbu is too dangerous. What if he died during the mission?"

Xiaochun said urgently after going to bed.

"That's just a return to the old days."

Mito Menyan said calmly.

"It just so happens that the Wooden ninja named Tenzo is also in the ANBU, and Kakashi is also from the ANBU. Young people have to practice and practice.

"Although Uchiha Sasuke is the best candidate to control the Nine-Tails at the moment, we are not completely helpless."

Mito Menyan smiled, his tone became lighter, and he said half-jokingly:

"He, the Fifth Hokage, can't be inferior to his apprentice, right?"

The apprentice here refers to the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

"But, I finally got the Mangekyo Sharingan again, I always feel..."

After turning to bed, Koharu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mito Menyan.

"We are never choosing the optimal solution. In the final analysis, it is more like avoiding the worst outcome."

Mito Kadoyan's voice was not high, but his tone was very stern.

“Push the bomb forward carefully, delay the explosion as much as possible, and try to avoid any potholes that may cause an explosion.

"This is the job of our consultants."

Xiaochun understood this and wanted to speak several times, but finally decided not to argue.

The next day, in the Hokage building, in the Hokage's office.

Early that morning, Sasuke was called along by Jiraiya.

At this moment, the two advisors were standing in front of the master and apprentice, reporting their final decision to Jiraiya.

"After discussion, our suggestion is that Uchiha Sasuke immediately enters the Anbu. As for job arrangements and subsequent promotions, it is entirely up to the Hokage-sama to decide."

Anyway, you alone have the final say in ANBU.

"But what we want to remind you is that the elites of ANBU are all ninjas who are extremely good at observation. Sometimes, too early and too heavy an honor may harm the child."

Koharu and Mito Monohan said separately as they went to bed.

After hearing the resolution, Sasuke was secretly happy.

As for the subsequent job arrangements, he himself has nothing to say.

"What's the reason? I still think that being a Jonin is a better choice."

Jiraiya hesitated.

"The list of disciples you gave is currently too young. It would be inappropriate to graduate early."

The Mito Gate fever is not slowing down, and it is obvious that it has been dealt with in advance.

"This is a time of peace, and such an approach may cause some controversy among the Konoha ninjas."

On the other side, Xiaochun hesitated again and again before going to bed, and finally made up his mind and said:

"This child became a Jonin too early. I'm afraid, sooner or later, there will be two teams again in Konoha."

Mito Kadoyan's eyelids twitched, and he turned to look at his partner, who had always been steady and obedient. He didn't know what he was planning in his mind.

Jiraiya squinted his eyes and stared at the two advisors.

I saw the two of them standing there steadily, neither humble nor arrogant.

After a long time, Jiraiya finally nodded, indicating that he understood their opinions.

"Then let's settle it like this. We will announce the news to everyone according to the previous arrangement later. Don't forget it."

Mito Kadoyan and the other two nodded, turned around and retreated.

Halfway through the retreat, Mito Monitis seemed to be infected by Koharu who had transferred to bed. Also stopped.

He turned his head and lowered his voice, warning Jiraiya:

"About the new organization 'Branch' you mentioned, we have not disclosed it to anyone."

Jiraiya nodded, looking at the other person doubtfully, waiting for the other person's next words.

"If you're smart, don't bring it up again."

Jiraiya leaned back in his chair and stared at the old man, feeling a little unhappy.

"If you haven't made up your mind to have a final showdown, then don't reveal your intentions prematurely."

Can that kind of thing be mixed into the so-called three alternatives and raised so blatantly and casually?

Jiraiya's political naivety gave Mito Menmen a headache.

After hearing Mito Gate's lesson, Jiraiya wanted to say something else, but Mito Gate didn't give him a chance.

"When things get out of hand, you hurt everyone."

After leaving these words, the two consultants strode out.

After being taught a lesson, Jiraiya was somewhat embarrassed about his face.

Pointing in the direction of the door, he smiled awkwardly at Sasuke.

As if to say, look, look, this old man

"Master, I think Mitomon-senpai is right."

Sasuke said respectfully from the side.

"Damn it, who am I doing this for?!"

Jiraiya lectured him.

But I have already heard that truth in my heart.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up, everyone is waiting."

Jiraiya picked up the Hokage hat beside him and put it firmly on his head.

Leading the way, they walked toward the parliament hall.

In the hall, almost all the prominent figures in the Konoha Ninja Village were already waiting there.

They are the four elite jounin: Hatake Kakashi, Metkai, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.

As well as the heads of the six major clans: Hinata Hinashi, Aburame Shihui, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Akimichi Choza, and Inuzuka Kuma.

After seeing the two people appear, everyone stopped whispering among themselves and stood solemnly.

Jiraiya sat in the center of the podium, with Uchiha Sasuke standing beside him.

After waiting for a moment, Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, came in from another door and took their seats on both sides of the podium.

"Today, I have called everyone here to announce some great news."

Jiraiya glanced at everyone one by one and said in a deep voice.

"Maybe you have heard about it. Previously, Uchiha Itachi once again kidnapped the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto in an attempt to attack Konoha on New Year's Eve."

As soon as these words came out, Kakashi, Nara Shikaku and others looked heavy, and the others also had different expressions. Only Metkai looked like he had never heard of it before, and was shocked.

"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I should have killed him immediately on that day!"

Metkai said angrily.

"At the critical moment, Uchiha Sasuke stepped forward, further awakened the power of Sharingan, and controlled the rampaging tailed beast.

"It not only protected the village, but also saved Uzumaki Naruto's life."

Hearing this, everyone in the venue except Kakashi showed varying degrees of shock.

"Sure enough, heroes emerge from youth! Kakashi, your subordinates are even better than you were back then! This is the power of youth!"

Metkai immediately showed a happy expression again, praised Uchiha Sasuke on the stage from a distance, and showed his signature smile.

“Based on this, we have decided to promote Sasuke Uchiha to Jonin and join ANBU from now on.

"Continue to contribute to the stability and peace of Konoha Hidden Village!"

Jiraiya continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi took the lead in applauding.

Immediately afterwards, the audience burst into warm applause.

"As it should be."

Metkai said happily.

In his opinion, the village has another defense force, and it is as simple as that.

On the other side, Nara Shikaku looked at Uchiha Sasuke on the stage with a somewhat complicated mood.

Although, I thought that I had not made any big mistakes in the series of arrangements in the Kingdom of Water.

But Sasuke and Naruto had accidents one after another. The accidents were too serious, and he was undoubtedly the main responsibility.

Now, the matter has been solved by others and the punishment has not yet been handed down. When facing Sasuke, Shikaku feels grateful but also worried.

Originally I just heard that Sasuke would be promoted to Jonin.

He also thought that as the opinion representative of the Jonin group, he would have enough opportunities to get close to Sasuke.

But I never thought that the other party would be directly transferred to the ANBU. In the future, I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to contact him.

Jiraiya added a few more words, to the effect that the village was now prospering, boosting everyone's confidence.

At the same time, he emphasized Sasuke's current importance to the village, reached an agreement with everyone present, and linked Sasuke's life interests to the safety of Konoha.

Facing this scene, Sasuke did not feel honored, but felt that the long journey towards Hokage had just begun.

At the same time, I am full of expectations for my next ANBU career.

Everyone was enjoying themselves and congratulating each other.

Outside the Hokage Building, a man was standing alone, looking up at the sign with the word "fire" on it.

If you look closer, it's not difficult to recognize this person's face.

The person who came was the one whom Metkai said he regretted not being able to kill just now——

Uchiha, Itachi.
