A middle-aged man with long white hair stood up and was about to leave when he was stopped by Naruto's loud voice.
"Wait a minute. Who the hell are you?"
Jiraiya looked at the blond brat in front of him and smiled nonchalantly.
"What? You wanna fight me too?"
A fight? Naruto thought it wouldn't be bad to have a fight with this powerful middle-aged man in front of him. This way, he could also test the man's actual strength.
"Since you said so, I won't hold back! Shadow Clone Jutsu"
Naruto stood opposite Jiraiya and instantly created four clones. Seeing this, Jiraiya waved his hand disinterestedly.
"Stop it. I ain't interested in you brats at all. I've finished my research and have no interest in fighting you."
"Research?"
"That's right! I'm the author of [Make Out Paradise], the so - called White - haired Sage, Jiraiya!"
"A sage?!"
"Exactly!"
?_?
Naruto stared at the lecherous old man in front of him with a skeptical look. He had clearly been peeping just now, but he insisted that he was doing research for his writing. What was the name of the book he wrote again?
Oh, he remembered. Isn't it the little book that Teacher Kakashi always holds in his hand!
"Wait a minute, perverted sage. Since you're so powerful, please accompany me to do some cultivation!"
"What? Who are you calling a perverted sage? Besides, why should I accompany an unknown brat to cultivate? Get out of my way quickly!"
Jiraiya waved his hand in disgust and shooed Naruto aside.
Having finally found such an excellent teacher, how could Naruto give up easily? This lecherous old man in front of him was clearly a sullen pervert just like Ebisu. In that case, he had a plan.
Naruto clung to Jiraiya tightly, which made him a little annoyed.
"Hey, brat, can you understand what I'm saying! I've said I don't have the time to accompany you to cultivate!"
Naruto ignored Jiraiya's words. He made hand seals in front of Jiraiya. This move made Jiraiya mock the brat. It seemed the brat didn't know who he was and wanted to defeat him with ninjutsu. How ridiculous.
"Quit it, brat. You can't defeat me."
However, Naruto had already known the middle - aged man's sullen pervert nature and smiled smugly.
"How do you know if you haven't tried? Look at my Harem Technique"
Jiraiya looked at all this contemptuously. He didn't believe that this brat could come up with any moves that would surprise him.
?(? ? ??)
Unexpectedly, after a puff of smoke, a large group of beautiful naked blond women appeared on the scene. Each of the beauties posed seductively and lay on him.
The soft and gentle touch made his heart skip a beat, especially the sweet words coming from the girls' mouths.
"Perverted Hermit~ Please~ accompany me~ to train~. I'll be~ grateful~ to you~"
The soft and pleading tone made his blood rush to his head, and his nosebleed gushed out uncontrollably. He immediately wrapped his arms around this beautiful woman and agreed.
"Sure, no problem!"
At this moment, he would have agreed to all the beauty's requests.
"Pfft!"
?_?
Naruto dispelled his Harem Technique. Jiraiya found that he was holding a brat in his arms. The huge gap in his heart made his forehead covered with black lines immediately. He glared at the little brat with gritted teeth.
This little rascal really knows his tricks!
Well, just consider himself unlucky. He'll accompany this kid to train for a few days.
...............
As night fell, layers of dark clouds obscured the bright moon.
Two sly figures were having a quiet conversation in a secluded place.
"How's the plan going?"
"Well! The guys from Konoha are a real pain, but luckily, everything's been sorted out smoothly."
"This time, our plan between the Sand Ninjas and yours must succeed."
"Don't worry! Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, is old. Tanzō, who used to lurk in the shadows, can only drag out his remaining days in prison. Isn't it the easiest time to take advantage of the situation during this era of transition?"
"Then let's wish our plan a successful outcome in advance..."
Hayate Gekkō, who was eavesdropping nearby, looked at the two groups of people in surprise. He didn't expect Itachi's suspicion to come true. These two groups of people together were indeed planning to attack Konoha.
No, he had to take this news back quickly.
Just as he was about to leave, Gaara's cold reply stopped him in his tracks.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Does Gaara have any other opinions?"
Baki looked at Gaara in surprise. He didn't expect Gaara to speak up at such a crucial moment of the plan, and it seemed that he wasn't quite satisfied.
"Put aside the large number of excellent Konoha contestants who emerged in this Chunin Exams for now. How do you plan to deal with the Uchiha in the Konoha Police Force?"
Gaara stared coldly at his teacher and Kabuto Yakushi.
Only he had a brief encounter with Itachi Uchiha, so he personally experienced Itachi's power.
Just a glance from Itachi exerted a powerful pressure that could even intimidate Shukaku within him! Moreover, the Uchiha clan had many geniuses, not just Itachi.
Recalling the proud and confident figures on the preliminary round field, Gaara felt an inexplicable envy.
In addition to the Uchiha clan, Konoha also had the Hyuga clan and other talents with various rare ninjutsu. In his opinion, their plan to destroy Konoha was really too childish.
"Are you sure you want to fight these people at Konoha's stronghold?"
"But this matter was personally ordered by the Kazekage! And now that we've started, there's no turning back!"
"Lord Gaara, please rest assured. Lord Orochimaru anticipated all this long ago. That's why he'll use a particularly powerful Kinjutsu to make this plan succeed!"
Gaara looked at Kabuto Yakushi in front of him. To be honest, as a [Ninja] of Konoha, he betrayed the village. In Gaara's view, this was an untrustworthy person.
He wondered what kind of persuasion the [Kazekage] had received to bet everything on collaborating with Orochimaru to destroy Konoha.
There's such a big strength gap between the two sides. Relying only on Shukaku inside me isn't enough to turn Konoha upside down.
Don't forget, the [Sharingan] of the [Uchiha clan] can easily control the [Nine - Tailed Fox], the most powerful of the [tailed beasts]. Can it also handle Shukaku effortlessly?
Seeing these two huddled up plotting, Gaara had no choice but to give up.
"Do as you see fit. I'll just follow orders!"
After saying that, he just turned around and walked away without looking back.
