In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 135 Before the Storm
Minato Namikaze raised his head, his smile still gentle.

"I apologize, Jiraiya-sama. I was just recalling and pondering Shisui's unusual behavior."

“I don’t think he’s acting strangely, though it could also be because I can’t connect with his inner thoughts.”

"Is that so?"

Jiraiya's killing intent had not dissipated much.

Aside from defection.

Being the bloodline seed of Kirigakure is itself a sin!
Minato Namikaze sensed the overwhelming killing intent and was completely caught in a dilemma.

In the Mizukage Building, Mei Terumi was reviewing scrolls when she saw Naoki Kaguya reappear in her office, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

Naoki doesn't usually show that kind of expression.

"Naoki, let's go for a walk."

"Ah."

"How about we go and take a look at the school?"

Seeing that Kaguya Naoki agreed, Terumi Mei immediately found a suitable destination to relax – the Ninja Academy.

That was where they first met, the place that held their deepest memories. Besides being a place where she could whisper sweet nothings to him and ease their tension, there were also many children there.

Children are always good at healing hearts.

"it is good."

Naoki Kaguya nodded in agreement, knowing that his expression was worrying the woman beside him, and smiled again.

Since we're going there tomorrow to assess teacher qualifications, let's do a surprise inspection today.

The two of them were action-oriented; after handing over all the scrolls on the table to the Third Hokage, they immediately turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

"Ok?"

As Kaguya Naoki approached the vicinity of the Ninja Academy, his brows furrowed slightly.

wrong.

How could there be such powerful chakra in this school?
Since obtaining the Uzumaki bloodline, he has awakened the Kagura Mind's Eye, which allows him to perceive chakra more clearly.

Not to mention, this ability was further enhanced after obtaining the genetic template of linosin.

However, it's still much worse than rolling your eyes.

Roll your eyes, open!

As the view unfolded, Jiraiya with white hair entered his eyes.

Jiraiya.

A faint killing intent permeated his heart.

soon.

His eyes regained their clarity, and he calmed down.

This is in Kirigakure, and even more so at the Ninja Academy.

Although he believed that Jiraiya was not the kind of despicable person who would exploit children and women after the start of a war, it would still cause damage.

It's not hard to guess Jiraiya's purpose in coming here; it's solely for Minato Namikaze.

Karin has been born, and Naruto's arrival in the world is not far off.

Let's just send him back to Konoha and let Konoha suffer.

Anyway, his arrival was just an accident.

Naoki Kaguya took two steps forward, only to find that Jiraiya's chakra was silently surging.

Is this a signal to make a move?
Then we'll have to take action.

Naoki Kaguya completely concealed himself by no longer recklessly releasing his chakra power.

"deep."

"Go and assemble the ninja forces to surround the ninja academy."

"Send out ninjas to be ready to evacuate the children at any time."

"Find the sealing class and prepare to isolate the school."

School?

Upon hearing those two words, Mei Terumi was startled and immediately became uneasy. She nodded, then put her mind to it and immediately began to make arrangements.

Naoki Kaguya leaped forward swiftly, moving stealthily, and soon arrived near the school.

Lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

Just then, a relaxed conversation drifted into my ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, several ninjas guarding the school were talking quietly and relaxed.

They were unaware that, not far away, in the very place they were to protect, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha were preparing to attack.

Naoki Kaguya wouldn't blame them; after all, that was Jiraiya.

Throughout the entire Misty Hidden Lands, very few people were able to detect his whereabouts.

While observing them, Kaguya Naoki also began to listen to their conversation. "Those guys are really cute!"

"Look at him, still studying, so diligent. If he were my child..."

"Think back to our time."

After one of the middle-aged fat men said this, all the previous laughter and chatter disappeared, leaving only silence.

"What's so scary about this?"

It was a skinny person who broke the silence and pulled the fat person out of their embarrassment.

"So what if we killed our own best friend? What's so hard about talking about that?"

"Of course you can."

The others lowered their voices.

"But sometimes I think, when we were playing together like this in school, we were thinking of playing together for a lifetime. How could I have ended his life with my own hands when I became a ninja?"

Silence fell again.

They were all people who had lived on the edge of a knife, but when faced with this topic, they inevitably felt downcast.

"It's in the past."

The fat man spoke, looking at the ninja academy in front of him.

"So what we need to do now is protect this place!"

Naoki Kaguya silently looked at Jiraiya again.
-
"Lord Jiraiya, do you intend to make your move here?"

Seeing Jiraiya silently preparing, Minato spoke, his feelings unknown.

"of course not."

Jiraiya listened to the laughter and chatter that had squeezed in from all sides, and felt a deep longing for the tundra.

"When I was a child, Konoha was very powerful and there weren't many wars. Our school was the same as Kirigakure's now."

"I will not destroy this place."

Jiraiya turned to look at the Mizukage Building.

"Of course, besides that reason, I'm also afraid that Kaguya Naoki will chase me all the way from Kirigakure to Konoha."

Minato Namikaze nodded stiffly.

"Jiraiya-sensei, where do you want to kill him? Perhaps I can help you plan it out."

Jiraiya looked quite pleased.

This is his disciple.

Unlike Shisui from the Uchiha clan, who was easily swayed by Kirigakure.

"You don't need to worry about these things."

"Minato." Jiraiya's expression turned serious.

"What you need to do now is live your life well, and I will find a way to break that spell."

"I'll take care of these."

Namikaze Minato nodded.

Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Minato, there's one last thing."

"What should you name your child with Kushina?"

"Naruto."

Minato snapped out of his daze and didn't hesitate for a moment.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

For some reason, all of Minato's worries vanished in an instant, leaving only a deep sense of joy.

Naruto.

Jiraiya's expression was strange as he thought of his novel.

"Goodbye, Jiraiya-sensei. Even if I can only live in Kirigakure, I will still read every one of Jiraiya-sensei's works!"

"Is that so?"

Jiraiya blushed as he thought about the mysterious work for which he had already completed the first draft.

"talk later."

"Goodbye, Minato!"

Goodbye, Jiraiya-sensei.

Minato watched Jiraiya's departing figure, his heart filled with conflict once again.

Shishui, teacher.
