Chapter 88: Unconditional Trust, Naruto's Promise.

"Stop ——!!! me"

Just after Naruto realized the truth hidden in the corpse of "Orochimaru", the anxious Jiraiya finally ran out of the No. 3 Wild Survival Training Ground in a non-stop and fast run. didn't care about taking two breaths to calm down the heart that was beating violently, so he subconsciously raised his hand in the direction of the nine-tailed chakra outbreak that he had perceived, and roared loudly with all his strength.

"Bastard Orochimaru! Don't you dare! If you dare to touch that child's hair, Lao Tzu will ...... Only...... Only...... Huh? ”

However, when Jiraiya gradually eased his breath and took a closer look, except for the strange and strange look on Naruto's face that seemed to be crying and smiling, no matter how Jiraiya looked at it, he couldn't see the slightest sign of Naruto's injury, let alone the long-lost figure of his long-lost best friend who was expected to be moody. If it weren't for the fact that the potholes left behind by the violent collision between the Tailed Beast Jade and Rashomon were proving to Jiraiya that there had indeed been a fierce battle here, I am afraid that Jiraiya would have immediately wondered if the violent aura of the Nine-Tails that he had sensed earlier was a little prank made by Naruto.

"It's weird, big ...... What about the Orochimaru people? I could still feel that guy's breath just now, so I guess it's right here......"

Naruto and Sasuke's unscathed and repeated and careful search still found nothing, so that Jiraiya was sure that the crisis of Orochimaru's invasion had been quietly resolved. But even so, it still made Jiraiya gradually relax his vigilance and rein in his fighting posture, and couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head in confusion to ask Naruto. After a pause, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the charred black corpse behind Naruto who had collapsed to the ground, and combined with the traces of the fierce fight at the scene, a somewhat crazy but plausible conjecture appeared in Jiraiya's mind.

"That guy should ...... Could it be...... Killed by you two kids?! ”

“…… Belch...... Ahem, ahem, so to speak, but it can be said that it is not ......"

After seeing the exaggerated appearance of Jiraiya who was so unbelievable that his eyes were about to pop out, Naruto was in a state of flux, but he subconsciously covered his poor little ass with his hands again for fear that the previous conjecture would turn into facts. Immediately, in order to hide his own gaffe, he moved a step to the side without a trace, and casually waved a gentle breeze to disperse the ashes stained on the corpse's face, so that the true appearance of the nameless unlucky ghost corpse behind him, who for unknown reasons, served as a living sacrifice for the creation of the Great Snake Pill Elephant to turn into a clone, was gradually revealed.

Of course, under Naruto's deliberate control, the breeze that blew like an arm only dispersed the ashes that had piled up on the corpse's face, allowing Jiraiya to be able to witness with his own eyes that the identity of the deceased was not his best friend Orochimaru, but at the same time, he also skillfully maintained the appearance that the corpse's whole body was covered in ashes. In this way, no matter how sharp Jiraiya's eyes were, he would never be able to identify the iconic uniform of the Xiao Organization with red auspicious clouds on a black background from this piece of charcoal that had been burned black.

"Sasuke and I did encounter Orochimaru, and we managed to kill ...... Ahem, I mean, defeated him...... But now it seems that what I guess we defeated was just a stand-in that retained a few parts of Orochimaru's power by some secret method. ”

While explaining the process to Jiraiya as simply as possible, Naruto deliberately concealed and retained information about the elephant transformation clone, and did not mention that this ** doppelganger, which almost perfectly mimics the essence of the aura and consciousness, is the privilege of the reincarnation eye. Just in front of the obvious facts, the word speculation is used to fool things around.

It's not that Naruto can't trust Jiraiya and refuses to share what he knows with him, but ......

God knows that after Naruto revealed all the information about the elephant's transformation and told him that it was the masterpiece of the Reincarnation Eye, would the "idiot" in front of him who was willing to die for the sake of the village immediately think of his three disciples who were far away in the Rain Ninja Village, thus triggering the tragedy of breaking into the base camp of the Xiao Organization alone in advance!

This is no joke! There is a great possibility that such a thing will be done with the character of Jiraiya! Now, just by solving the elephant transformation clone that does not fully inherit the strength of Orochimaru's body, Naruto has used the four-tailed level of tailed beastification, if it is really self-reliant

I can't think of running to the enemy's dangerous base camp to send people to the head, that Naruto really has no place to cry! Thinking of this, Naruto naturally would not tell this important information even if he was killed, let alone inform Jiraiya of any information about the Akatsuki organization in advance!

"Yes...... Is that so? But Naruto ......"

After confirming from the strange and ordinary face of the deceased that it was not his best friend who was lying there and losing signs of life, he was glad that the hard-lived guy had not passed away, but he was also worried that with his retributive personality, he would wait for an opportunity to find Naruto again, which made Jiraiya can't help but have mixed emotions in his heart. In the dark, he was always vaguely aware of what important things the little guy in front of him was hiding from him, and he had a stomach full of questions that had not been answered, so Jiraiya couldn't help but open his mouth and tried to ask again, but he soon stopped because of the look on Naruto's face in his eyes, and swallowed the words that came to his throat back into his stomach.

There was no refusal, no joking and trying to fool around as before, only Naruto's rare brow was furrowed and serious, and the deep pleading in his blue eyes was full of pleading.

"I promise, when the time comes, I will explain everything to you...... But now, please don't ask, Grandpa Jiraiya......"

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about the essence of the little guy in front of him who had been with him for more than a year, and couldn't see through the reality......

When eradicating the group, it may be said that it was because of the inheritance of the parents' personality that gave the child the courage to face the crisis. I can also be distracted from guiding my peers when I am groping for practice, which can also be said to be due to my talent......

But now, even though the opponent he faced was only a stand-in for Orochimaru, from the corpses found during the previous investigation, it was obvious that he had completely retained the consciousness and experience of Orochimaru's body, but he was still defeated by the two of Narusa, who did not have much actual combat experience...... This is not just a coincidence.

"Perhaps, this child is not just the child of Watergate and Jiusinai...... How many secrets are you still hiding? Naruto ......"

"The Great Toad Immortal once said that my disciples would bring change or destruction to the world...... If you have been my disciple in this year, the destined child of prophecy...... Which path will you take? Naruto. ”

Muttering to himself, he couldn't help but look at the little guy in front of him, who had easily solved the invasion crisis, but was so nervous and nervous that he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet. After a long silence, emotion defeated reason, and deep down in his heart, the guilt accumulated from not knowing Naruto's existence for three years and letting him face the sneers of the villagers alone regardless of the matter made Jiraiya choose to believe in Naruto unconditionally, and the corners of his mouth rose and stretched out his fist to Naruto in a soothing manner.

"Well...... So as you said, we have agreed on it. I'll wait for the day when you tell me the truth yourself, Naruto. ”

“…… Well! It's agreed! ”

As always, Naruto was unsurprisingly able to gain Jiraiya's absolute trust...... Although he apologized for hiding the person in front of him, and almost couldn't help the silent torment of staring at him several times and raised his hands to hold it up, but in order to prevent the premature leakage of information from causing a greater mutation in the timeline, and in order to prevent the person in front of him from doing the stupid thing of "dying in vain" in the original book, Naruto had to grit his teeth and endure it, and after restraining the heavy appearance on his face, he squinted and laughed again, and then raised his fist and touched Jiraiya's fist loudly and promised.

"Absolutely!"

Between the words, through the promise of a fist clash with Jiraiya, Naruto quietly left an inconspicuous mark on Jiraiya's hand.

And this subtle change, relaxed and distracted, did not notice. Then, in just a few breaths, this strange mark quickly faded and quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and there was no trace of its existence......
