Chapter 256: Shortcomings
Naruto looked at Hinata and said, Okay, Hinata, it's time for you to go back, and it's time for me to hand in the mission.
Hinata said sadly: Naruto-kun, won't you go back with me? Everyone misses you.
Naruto shook his head and said: It's not possible now. It will take some time until I remove all the hidden dangers. Otherwise, I'm really worried that something will happen to you. If something happens to you, I really don't know what will happen to me. Looks like, besides, I can also use this time to find where Thanatos is hiding. Although Ao Guang didn't say, I know that Thanatos should be seriously injured now, otherwise he There’s no need to hide, so now is the best chance to kill him. Even if I can’t kill him, it’s still the best chance to take back Anko’s sister’s soul. I don’t want to miss this opportunity, so Hinata, please forgive me. It will take some time. gone back.
Hinata also knew that it was impossible to persuade Naruto to go back now, at least until the hidden dangers in Naruto were removed. Hinata did not persuade him anymore, but said worriedly: Well, you must be careful. Is that so? That Thanatos is so powerful. If you really can’t do anything, just send a message back to the village. Don’t forget, you still have friends you can rely on. You are not alone.”
Naruto nodded and said: I understand, thank you Hinata, thank you for your tolerance for me. By the way, give this to Shino. I wanted to give it to him before, but who knew that I couldn't give it to him after delaying it for so long. . After saying that, Naruto took out the bloodthirsty bee eggs collected from the caves of the Moon Country from the space and handed them to Hinata.
When Hinata saw the eggs of the bloodthirsty bees, she knew that the eggs collected by Naruto in the cave were for Shino. Indeed, having these eggs of the bloodthirsty bees is a great help to the Aburame clan who are good at repelling insects. , it is simply more powerful than a tiger, and its strength will increase to a terrifying level.
Seeing Hinata put away the bee eggs, Naruto pretended to be relaxed and said: Okay, it's time for me to go, Hinata, take good care of yourself and Hanabi.
Hinata nodded reluctantly and said: I will, Naruto-kun, you also have to take care of yourself, you know?
Naruto nodded to show that he knew and then turned around and left. Hinata looked at Naruto's leaving figure with tears in her eyes. It wasn't until Naruto's back disappeared from her sight that Hinata reluctantly went back.
In fact, Naruto's heart is not as free and unrestrained as it seems on the surface. At this time, he also wants to be with Hinata, be with his friends, and go back to their home together, but Naruto resists this forcefully. Thoughts, because he knew the importance, if you covet temporary happiness, it is likely to cause regrets in the future, so Naruto told himself in his heart that no matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave temporarily. Today's separation is to pave the way for longer-term happiness in the future.
Naruto walked all the way out of the forest. When Naruto was about to leave the forest, Naruto met someone he didn't expect, Jiraiya.
The moment he saw Jiraiya, Naruto was slightly stunned, thinking he had seen the wrong person, but he soon calmed down, knowing that Jiraiya should already know who he was and would be waiting for him here. Jiraiya walked up to Naruto and complained: You brat, you really don't know how to respect your master. You actually made your master wait for so long.
Now that it had been seen, Naruto no longer planned to pretend, took off his mask and said with a smile: Lovable Immortal, what a coincidence, why are you here too?
Jiraiya looked at Naruto with disdain and thought to himself: What an idiot. He even changed the topic in such an embarrassing way. Oh, really, he is so stupid.
Jiraiya said helplessly: Naruto, do you think I'm an idiot, or are you really an idiot? Why is it really okay to change the topic obviously? Don't you feel embarrassed?
Naruto Shanshan smiled and said: It's quite embarrassing, haha.
Jiraiya suddenly came to Naruto's side and hit Naruto's head hard. Naruto immediately covered his head and screamed in pain. , Naruto said angrily: Oh, it hurts, it hurts, lustful immortal, what are you doing, it hurts me to death.
Jiraiya said arrogantly: Humph, this is your punishment for making my master worry so much. Let's see if you dare to disappear in the future. Jiraiya also felt relieved in his heart. Since hearing the news of Naruto's disappearance, , Jiraiya has been worried, and at the same time he blames himself, blaming himself for not taking good care of Naruto, and thinking of Minato and Kushina. Jiraiya even felt sorry for Minato and Kushina for not being able to take good care of him. Taking care of their child, now that Naruto was safe, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart was relieved.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto who was still covering his head and smiled: Let's go, Naruto.
Naruto asked curiously: Let's go? Where?
Jiraiya said: Go where you want to go, but I will stay with you for the rest of the journey. Just like Tsunade said, you followed me to practice. During this time, I will also take good care of you. I trained you, you are already very strong, but you lack some systematic education, so it seems a bit messy. During this period, I will let you have your own battle mode. At least make sure it, so that you So as not to move forward blindly.”
When Naruto heard Jiraiya's words, he immediately remembered the battle with Thanatos and the battle with Ao Yun. He knew that he knew so many things, but he felt that the gap between him and Sasuke was not big. There were even some places where Naruto Sasuke is not perfect at all, so Naruto also feels that most of them are not good enough because they know too much. Like the Sharingan, although he has evolved to the Rinnegan, Naruto is still confused about how to use it. Although He can use all the tricks of the Rinnegan, but they don't feel as practical as a Rasengan.
The same goes for the Byakugan. Naruto himself knows his own thing. His development of the Byakugan is extremely weak. He is even inferior to the average Hyuga clan member, let alone Hinata and Neji. Then there is the physique. He has a fairy body. But apart from the early development of the Bagua Tian Locking Formation, it doesn't seem to be very good.
Finally, the Rasengan and Flying Thunder God techniques are not up to the level of his father Namikaze Minato. After a long time, the wind escape. The Rasen Shuriken can only be released with the Wind God Sword, and the Nine-tails mode can withstand it. Five tails, any more would be a waste, and the physical skills are even worse.
Finally, Naruto thought about Sasuke and Hinata. Although they didn't know much, they had developed them to the extreme. Now thinking about it, Naruto felt that the Naruto in his past life memory would only know those few ninjutsu in the end, but But became the strongest ninja, Naruto thought: It seems that I really bit off more than I can chew.
Jiraiya did not disturb Naruto's thinking. It was not until Naruto showed an enlightened expression that he said, Have you thought about it clearly? Do you know your weaknesses?
Naruto nodded and said, Thank you, Erotic Immortal, but I still can't go with you. Although I also want to practice with you, I can't do it now.
Jiraiya asked in confusion: Why? Brat, if you don't tell me why, I won't let you go. At the end of the sentence, Jiraiya's expression was very serious, and he didn't worry about Naruto alone. People are leaving, not to mention the incident that happened just three months ago. Jiraiya also heard Tsunade mention the matter of Thanatos. With such a strong opponent lurking, Jiraiya can be so relieved. Gotta get it down.
Naruto knew that Jiraiya would not let him go until he made it clear. In desperation, Naruto could only tell Jiraiya what Ao Ming said. After hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya's expression finally relaxed. After hearing Naruto's worry, Jiraiya immediately smiled.
Naruto said angrily: Hey, lustful sage, what I said is true. If I stay with you again, I will really bring you bad luck.
Jiraiya smiled and said: Naruto, are you a little unfounded?
Naruto said angrily: I didn't lie to you. It's up to you to believe it or not. I can't travel with you anyway.
Jiraiya touched Naruto's head happily and said: Naruto, I know you are doing it for my own good, and you don't want to bring misfortune to everyone. I am very pleased with your character of thinking about your companions, but you One thing was overlooked.”
Naruto raised his head and looked at Jiraiya, wondering: What's the matter?
Jiraiya smiled and said: That means I am not an ordinary person, I have divine power. Although it is just pseudo-divine power, it is still divine power after all. It is more or less sacred. Things like misfortune may be very useful to ordinary people, but for ordinary people, For me, it can basically be ignored. And didn’t that guy named Ao Ming say that only ordinary people will get into trouble? Although I don’t know what standard he used to describe ordinary people, but what is certain is that I absolutely You are not among the ordinary people he said, and the same goes for your partners. If something happened, wouldn't they have been in trouble long ago?
Naruto looked confused and asked: Luxury Immortal, what do you mean?
Jiraiya replied: Idiot, don't you understand? It means that only ordinary people, people without any strength will have trouble, but people with chakra will be fine unless they stay with you for too long. , because as time goes by, only those who will be affected by bad luck or have a too close relationship with you will have trouble, and the time I have been in contact with you is not very long, and I still have pseudo-divine power, and you have The misfortune is basically negligible to me.
After hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto wondered: How do you know, you lustful sage?
Jiraiya took out the scroll handed to him by Steel Hand and said: This scroll has records in the Sirius Divine Code, so you will be fine if you travel with me. Do you still want to travel alone now?
Naruto took Jiraiya's Sirius Divine Tome and looked at it carefully. It was indeed as Jiraiya said. After putting away the scroll, he turned around and walked away. Jiraiya was stunned for a moment and then chased after him and said, Hey , Naruto, what do you mean?
Naruto said angrily: Let's go quickly. If we don't leave, we will have to sleep in the open today. After saying that, he quickened his pace.
Jiraiya smiled slightly and followed.
