Naruto's water escape is the strongest

A hill near the training hall.

The tall figure of Toad Sage stood far away, with extremely eye-catching white hair, looking at the battlefield between Naruto and Akahoshi.

"Naruto," Jiraiya said silently to himself, "he went all out from the very beginning."

"It seems that he really wants to get that meteorite called a star."

He didn't care much about the outcome of this battle.Because when Naruto used the tailed beast coat with four tails without any delay, the outcome was already decided.

The so-called Star Shadow of the Hoshi Ninja Village, even if he uses the Peacock Magic to the maximum extent, his strength is far inferior to that of the five great Ninja Village Shadows.Not to mention the Kage level, I am afraid that even the elite jounin level is barely powerful. The power of ninjutsu is very strong, but the fighting skills and experience are completely insufficient. Jiraiya seriously doubts that Konoha can just pull a veteran jounin who has experienced hundreds of battles. can defeat him.Not to mention that Naruto, who has entered the Four-Tails Coat Mode, is infinitely close to Kage level in strength, and far exceeds the average Kage level ninja in terms of pure chakra amount and ninjutsu destructive power.

The Peacock Magic Technique seems to have endless uses, but in fact it has many flaws and the upper limit is not high; Akahoshi thinks that he can compete with the five major ninja villages with the power of star meteorites. This idea really vividly and vividly illustrates what Yelang is arrogant.The heritage of the Five Great Ninja Villages is unimaginable to this remote small Ninja Village in the corner of the mountains. Without the support of multiple Kage-level ninjas, the words of the Ninja Village would have no weight, let alone be recognized by the Five Great Nations.

Jiraiya was concerned about what his last disciple, Uzumaki Naruto, thought.

He didn't get involved in the matter of Star Ninja Village from beginning to end. He just watched Naruto from a distance, ensuring his safety while watching him solve the problem independently. It was a small game. test.

Seeing the suspenseful battle outside, Jiraiya fell into deep thought.

a few days ago.

Jiraiya, who traveled around with Naruto, came to the Bear Country.

While the two were dining at a restaurant near the hotel, a haggard-looking woman recognized Jiraiya and begged him to help save the Seishin Village.

Jiraiya is well-informed and old, and he also knows some things about the Star Ninja Village that the woman mentioned, including the eye effects of the Peacock Magic Technique.

So he had no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of other shinobi villages in the first place. Why did he interfere to bring trouble to Konoha? Others were willing to suffer side effects to gain strength. What position did Jiraiya have to stop Jiraiya's life? Experience shows that if an outsider gets involved in this kind of thing, it will often not bring any benefits and will only cause trouble.

You know, in this twisted world, sometimes not having power is much more terrifying than suffering the side effects of ninjutsu

Naruto always listened to Jiraiya's words and followed his lead, but this time, for some reason, when he heard that the "Star" meteorite was radioactive, he suddenly became very interested in it and decided to participate in this matter. In the midst of things.

"Naruto, why do you want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Star Ninja Village?" After the woman left, Jiraiya frowned and asked, "You want that meteorite?"

"Yeah." Naruto nodded honestly.

"You already have the power of the Nine-Tails. It doesn't make any sense to add the power of the Peacock Magic and the Meteorite. Why?" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

Naruto has been following Jiraiya for more than two years, and this is the first time he has made such a request.Jiraiya stared at Naruto with a solemn expression, a little worried that he would go astray due to his excessive desire for power.

Especially worried that Naruto would follow Orochimaru's path.

Of course, Jiraiya soon discovered that his worries were in vain.

"I don't want such dangerous things for myself." Naruto said with a naive smile.

 

"Then you still said you wanted it" Jiraiya asked.

"Hasn't Sakura always wanted to find something like this?" Naruto said as she put away her smile and said seriously, "It's that radioactive stone. She has been looking for it for several years. She returned to Konoha some time ago. At that time, she specifically asked me to help her keep an eye on it.”

"This is the first time Sakura has asked me seriously."

Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully.Do boys and girls who have entered puberty really have to be more attentive to their requests?

No, just because that was Sakura's request.

Jiraiya had investigated Naruto's relationships.That girl probably means more to Naruto than just being a teammate of Class [-]. The two of them had been in contact long before Class [-], or even before the Ninja School.

She was the first person to recognize Naruto.

Of course, even if Sakura is just a teammate of Team [-], and even has a bad personality and doesn't take care of Naruto very much, with Naruto's character, he will probably go through fire and water for her request.

"The meteorite is the curse of the Star Ninja Village, and it is also their sacred object. It is not easy to get that stone, so you have already made up your mind." Although Jiraiya asked this, he actually already had the answer in his heart.Naruto's temperament is really similar to his, clumsy, perseverant, and the most important thing is love and justice, so just think about what decision he would make when facing Tsunade's request, and Jiraiya would know what Naruto would do answered.

Naruto nodded without hesitation.

"As promised in advance, I will not interfere in this mission." Jiraiya sighed secretly and said, "With your strength, these ninjas in Star Ninja Village pose no threat to you. However, you must make them willingly I’ll give you the meteorite, so you have to use your brain.”

"Ah, why don't you take action?" Naruto suddenly frowned and scratched his hair hard.Speaking of which, as a genin, Naruto has never tried to complete more complex tasks independently.

Using their brains has always been the job of Kakashi, Sakura and Jiraiya. What Naruto did most was to take the lead in charging. He was suddenly a little uneasy, afraid that he would mess up.

"Haha, just think of it as a little test for you," Jiraiya said with a smile, "In addition to ninjutsu, I also taught you the tricks for doing tasks. Just try to practice it. If you want to be Hokage, you can You can't just charge and defeat the enemy, you also have to learn to think, Naruto."

"Don't worry, I will also give you some tips appropriately." Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder. At this time, when the woman in his shadow clone came over to talk, he released that information about the Star Ninja Village had been sent one after another. "Actually, this mission is not very difficult."

The difficulty of the task was indeed as Jiraiya said, not that big.

After all, there are only a few dozen people in Star Ninja Village, maybe a hundred people at most, so there won't be any big trouble.Under the guidance of Jiraiya intentionally or unintentionally and the help of Aunt Xia Xingxing, Naruto, whose strength has exceeded that of the star shadow of the Star Ninja Village, has been safe all the way and quickly figured out the truth of the matter in the Star Ninja Village.

Many years ago, the third generation of Xingying sealed the meteorite due to the side effects of the Peacock Magic. Red Star killed Xingying and restarted the practice of using the meteorite.But now, because the side effects of Peacock Mystic Technique are becoming more and more serious, Xia Xing hopes to stop practicing Peacock Mystical Technique, and thus has an irreconcilable conflict with Akahoshi.

Ignoring the minor twists and turns during the mission, the whole thing basically did not go beyond Jiraiya's speculation: it was entirely an internal conflict in the Star Ninja Village.Whether it was worth paying such a high price for power, Jilai didn't think he was qualified as an outsider to comment.He has seen tragedies in which families were destroyed because they lacked the strength to protect themselves, and tragedies in which the pursuit of power at all costs led to betrayal and separation; it was hard to say which outcome was worse.

Even judging from the style of his actions, Akahoshi's assassination of the previous Hoshikage was considered a heinous crime, but Natsuhi Hoshi's introduction of the power of outside ninjas in order to solve the conflicts in the village is also a star traitor in the eyes of some people.
