Half a month later.

"Alas~" Jiraiya sighed deeply, stood up, turned around, and said weakly: "Hey, Naruto, the swimsuit girl is gone, let's end today's practice." ”

"Eh, it's still early, let's practice a little longer. "Naruto.

"I'm hungry, you're almost tired. "Jiraiya.

"You obviously didn't do anything. Naruto complained.

"You should be grateful just to accompany you!" said Jiraiya loudly.

"I've been peeping all day, hurry up and teach me the next trick!" Naruto.

"Oh, so you've learned the art of channeling?"

"Of course!" Naruto said confidently.

"Then you show me. "Jiraiya.

"Yo Xi, take a good look. Naruto's quick seal, "Psychic technique!"

"Bang. A long-legged tadpole appeared and wagged its tail a few times.

"It worked!" Naruto said proudly.

"————" Jiraiya looked at the tadpole summoned by Naruto, "you, you guy with no talent at all!"

"You can see clearly, this one is only bigger than the previous one!" Naruto.

"Summon the toad for me!"

"It's really long-winded, it's a big improvement just because it's bigger than before! And it's got legs. "Naruto.

"I want a toad with hands and feet!" said Jiraiya angrily.

（！————）

Underground in the village of Rain Ninja.

"Ah————h

"Rain!" Itachi, who received the message and rushed to the scene, saw the rain in pain and wanted to stop it.

"You can't go over!" Xiao Nan stretched out his hand to stop Itachi.

"If you go now, you'll be torn to shreds. Madara looked to the side.

Itachi followed Madara's gaze as well, and "!" saw massive, piles of white debris.

"What's that?" Itachi.

"The corpse of the White Absolute Being. "Payne.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Itachi eagerly.

"Yesterday morning, I picked up Xiaoxue's missing hair ornament and immediately came to her. When I heard the screams halfway through, I quickened my pace, and when I got here, I saw the rain attacking Xiaoxue, and after a few seconds, the rain held his head, hunched over, and screamed in pain. I immediately ran to Xiaoxue's side to ask what was going on, she said that she saw that the rain looked a little uncomfortable, so she ran over to ask what was wrong, who knew that the rain suddenly began to attack her, in order not to hurt the rain, she used the eight doors of the Dunjia to dodge. Then, the rain fell, and Xiaoxue immediately ran over to see the situation and found that the rain was unconscious. Xiao Nan recalled.

"Then Xiao Nan informed us that although Yu was immediately medically examined, nothing could be found. I'm worried that the same thing will happen when the rain wakes up again, so I'll have to put it here and set up an enchantment so that he can't get out. "Spots.

"What about Xiaoxue?" Itachi didn't see Xiaoxue.

"She rested on it, and she looked after it all night last night because she was worried about the rain. "Xiao Nan.

"Bang!" the rain fell in an instant like a puppet with a broken string.

"Rain!" the weasel rushed over in an instant.

"Rain! can you hear it?" said Itachi, worried.

（！————）

Konoha.

"Eh, don't you feel it at all? After three weeks of practice, you're still at this level, I'm afraid there's no point in continuing. "Jiraiya.

"That's not the case! I'm practicing hard!" Naruto.

"I know that if you really want to make psychics successful, if you don't do it with a desperate mentality, you will never succeed. "Jiraiya.

"That's what I'll do, try my best to condense the chakra every day!If you have time to complain about me, you might as well teach me some tricks!" Naruto said excitedly.

"The know-how? "Jiraiya.

"Huh, really, what's the trick?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya expectantly.

"It's risking your life. Zilai also said seriously.

"......" Naruto.

"It's not a joke, but even then, do you still have to practice?"

"Haven't I been practicing desperately......" Naruto said speechlessly.

"I mean, the kind that is either life or death. "Jiraiya.

"Of course, I'll do my best until I learn!" Naruto said firmly.

"Is there anything you want to do now?"

"Practice. "Naruto.

"Let's leave it at that. "Jiraiya.

"Hmm......" Naruto thought earnestly, "eat all-you-can-eat Ichiraku ramen." ”

"Well, let's go. Jiraiya turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Naruto trotted after him.

"Of course, I'm going to eat Ichiraku ramen. "Jiraiya.

"Huh, really?" Naruto couldn't believe his ears.

（！————）

Ichiraku ramen.

"Huh-" Naruto finished a bowl of ramen, "Uncle has another bowl!"

"Yes, right away. "Ichiraku.

"If I had this kind of practice, I would want to come every day. Naruto said happily.

"Eat as much as you want, it's the last meal anyway. "Jiraiya.

"Huh?" Naruto.

"Ah...... It's nothing, just eat as much as you want, and eat until you don't want to eat without any nostalgia. "Jiraiya.

"I don't know what you're talking about, just eat. Uncle, give me 3 more bowls. "Naruto.

"Eating too much is not good for your health. "Calamus.

"It's okay, children just have to eat more to grow taller. "Jiraiya.

……

Naruto touched his bulging belly and burped, "Hiccup—"

"Have you eaten enough?"

"Ah, of course I'm full!" Naruto said contentedly.

"By the way, Naruto, do you have a favorite girl?"

"Huh?" Naruto froze in place.

"Do you have any girls who you think are cute?"

"That...... I don't know...... Is it a ...... I like ......," Naruto said with a blushing face.

"Oh, that's it. What's your name?"

"I like Sakura!" Naruto said loudly.

"Very well, then you go and hug that girl tightly now. "Jiraiya.

"Eh————" Naruto didn't know what to do.

"Is this also a practice?" said Naruto.

"Sort of. "Jiraiya.

"Okay, I'll go now. Naruto said happily.

"However, if I do hug it, Sakura won't ......," Naruto worried.

"No, this is a practice, you have to hold it, I want to become stronger!" Naruto said firmly.

"However, if I hug it, Sakura probably won't pay attention to me......" Naruto worried.

"No, in order to refine the psychic technique, this is also a last resort!" Naruto said firmly.

"But, in that case......" Naruto worried.

"Hurry up and get me!" Jiraiya kicked Naruto in the ass.

（！————）

Near Sakura's house.

"Is there something wrong?" Sakura-chan.

"That...... This ......" Naruto didn't know what to say.

"I don't have any money to borrow, I'm very budget-conscious. "Sakura-chan.

"No, it's not...... It'...... "Naruto."

"If it's okay, I'll go back. Sakura turned to leave.

"Forget it, get out" Naruto made up his mind and hugged Sakura from behind.

Sakura, "What are you doing!" Naruto!"

"That ......" Naruto didn't know what to say.

Sakura raised her hand, reached behind her head, grabbed Naruto's clothes, and then lifted Naruto hard and slammed it into the ground in front of her.

"Tom————"

Sakura's mother, who was cooking: "Hmm? ”

"Dare to hug the old lady! Look for death!" Sakura left angrily.

"Doctor...... I need a doctor......" Naruto said, breathless.

"This is youth. Jiraiya, who hid and peeked aside.

（！————）

Inside an inn in Konoha.

"Lord Thunder Shadow. Orochimaru saluted.

"Hmph, it looks like you didn't bring your tail this time, Orochimaru. "Thunder Shadow

"Last time, thanks to Lord Thunder Shadow's action, otherwise ...... "Orochimaru."

"I'm afraid that my whereabouts will be revealed, after all, the appearance of our Ten Shadows has been known to Konoha and we can't enter and leave as we are, although there is no need for this. And, if your whereabouts are revealed, your plan will fail. "Thunder Shadow.

"However, aren't the four Lords of Wind Shadow, Rain Shadow, Light Shadow, and Lower Shadow already entangled the first Moon Shadow? "Orochimaru.

"Hmph, no matter what the outcome is, the alliance led by the five generations of Hokage has been torn apart, and the leader's plan is also underway, as for you, just do your own thing. "Thunder Shadow.

"Yes. "Orochimaru.
