Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 174 Let Uchiha Itachi bring back Uchiha Sasuke

In fact.

In Jiraiya's opinion, Uzumaki Naruto, as predicted by the Great Toad Sage, is very likely the only person in Konoha who can pose a threat to Emiya Shihara in the future.

Naturally…

Jiraiya needs to give Uzumaki Naruto special instruction.

Whether it is Uzumaki Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or his identity as the child of prophecy, Jiraiya will need to spend more energy on Uzumaki Naruto in the future.

"Naruto…"

Jiraiya waved at Uzumaki Naruto, as if he wanted to have a good chat with him about the future, hoping that the little guy would be prepared in advance.

however…

A Konoha ninja jumped down!
When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen passed away and Konoha was leaderless, this Konoha ninja regarded Jiraiya as the future Hokage of Konoha.

"Master Jiraiya, something's happened!"

The Konoha ninja hurriedly reported to Jiraiya, mentioning the troubles of Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village: "The One-Tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village is in trouble again!"

"The guy named Gaara?"

When Uzumaki Naruto heard it, he immediately stepped forward. He remembered what Emiya Shihara had mentioned to him, and took the initiative to take over the task of solving Gaara's troubles: "Let me go, I can definitely solve it..."

"..."

People looked at him with distrust.

only…

Jiraiya chose to agree.

Because he knew that Uzumaki Naruto regarded Gaara as his own kind.

However, Jiraiya thought that this matter might not be so easy to resolve, so he planned to go over and help seal the One-Tail, at least to prevent it from causing more trouble.

The result was something Jiraiya really didn't expect...

Uzumaki Naruto single-handedly dealt with Gaara.

Under Jiraiya's stunned gaze, the yellow-haired boy dodged the attack of Shukaku, the One-Tail, and woke up the sleeping Gaara with one punch!

then…

How could Uzumaki Naruto make Gaara, who always kept strangers away and was full of murderous intent, burst into tears with just a few words?

"That little devil..."

Jiraiya's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Uzumaki Naruto could make such a great contribution to Konoha at this time: "How did you do it?"

the next day.

Gaara seemed to be a little more awake.

The red-haired boy from the Sand Village no longer had a murderous look on his face, but his temporary indifference had not changed. At least people would not feel afraid when they saw him. The only difference was that this guy was a little more enthusiastic when he saw Uzumaki Naruto.

because…

They are so alike.

Just as Gaara's mother died giving birth to him, Uzumaki Naruto's parents also died to protect the village and their child...

Secondly…

They all had tragic childhoods.

They also feel lonely because the tailed beasts in their bodies are feared by others.

Other than that…

There is another reason.

After Uzumaki Naruto defeated Gaara, when he told Gaara his story, he also told Gaara the truth of the story he heard from Emiya Shihara.

"We are not monsters..."

"Your mother and uncle love you very much..."

"We carry the expectations of those who love us as they lay their last moments on us, asking us to work harder and live more seriously to be happy, so we must not give up on ourselves..."

Of course.

Uzumaki Naruto has a new good friend.

Although Gaara didn't say anything the whole time, after he returned, he started preparing on how he could become the Kazekage of the Sand Village.

One-Tail Jinchūriki...

Especially a Jinchūriki who once ran away, and he was only twelve years old, actually wanted to become the Kazekage of the Sand Village? Was this kid really dreaming?
but…

Don't even say it...

The people of Sand Village took a tour of the dilapidated and barren village. The village leaders immediately listed Gaara as a candidate for the Fifth Kazekage, and even began to train Gaara on how to become a qualified Kazekage.

Yes. The death of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa...

The Sand Village lost its last Kage-level fighter.

Compared to the whole village of Sand Village who wanted Gaara, the whole village of Konoha Village who wanted Uzumaki Naruto didn't fare so well, because Uzumaki Naruto didn't become the fifth Hokage of Konoha like Gaara did, because Konoha didn't lack ninjas who could take on the position of Hokage like Sand Village...

Even so…

The new Fifth Hokage still surprises people.

Tsunade.

The new Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

This female ninja, who was severely hit by Emiya Shihara's surprise attack and whose ninja way collapsed during the major event of the Chunin Exam, has indeed picked herself up again under the motivation of her responsibility as Hokage!
"Ahhhh..."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade, who was waving the Hokage hat on the roof of the Hokage Building and solemnly announcing that she would become the fifth generation of Konoha, and his face became puffed up: "I am the one who should be the Hokage!"

"You little devil..."

Jiraiya tapped his head with his fingers and said softly: "Okay, say goodbye to your friends during this time. It's about time for us to work hard on training..."

"Eh?"

Uzumaki Naruto didn't understand what Jiraiya meant.

"It is no longer meaningful for your training to continue staying in Konoha..."

Jiraiya looked at Uzumaki Naruto and had to tell him about his predicament: "Even if you stay in Team 7, you can only perform some ordinary tasks in the future, which will not be of much use to improving your strength. Now if you want to continue to quickly improve your strength to be able to fight against Emiya Shihara, you must spend all your time on training..."

"..."

Uzumaki Naruto once again experienced the taste of parting.

however…

Jiraiya's words made the most sense.

Because they couldn't ignore the threat posed by Emiya Shihara.

If it weren't for Emiya Shihara's willingness to look up to him, the twelve-year-old Uzumaki Naruto wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of Emiya Shihara!

"That…"

Uzumaki Naruto didn't want to be separated from Uchiha Sasuke, so he proposed his own idea: "Teacher Jiraiya, can we go with Sasuke?"

"Sasuke..."

"He has his own way."

Jiraiya shook his head and rejected Uzumaki Naruto. He only had enough energy to teach Uzumaki Naruto alone, and he was not very proficient in how to teach Uchiha Sasuke to become stronger.

In a sense…

Jiraiya had already taught Uchiha Sasuke all the Fire Style that he was good at. He did not understand the Uchiha clan's Sharingan and how to become stronger, and he did not want Uchiha Sasuke to suffer. Perhaps letting Uchiha Sasuke stay in Konoha and follow Hatake Kashiwa was the best option.

In fact.

Kakashi Hatake thought so too.

Because he has always known that there is another hidden story behind the demise of the Uchiha clan.

With the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Chunin Exams, he might be one of the few people who knew about it. He needed to find an opportunity to tell Uchiha Sasuke about it and let him understand that his brother had his own difficulties.

Unfortunately…

Kakashi Hatake didn't have that chance.

The border of the Fire Nation.

Emiya Shihara, Nagato and Konan are resting here.

Black Zetsu mentioned to Emiya Shihara with some annoyance that he and White Zetsu had not found the whereabouts of Shimura Danzo and the other Rinnegan, and they were very worried that both Rinnegan might have fallen into the hands of Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito in this incident.

"It's ok."

"I lost a pair of samsara eyes."

"Then we just need to add another pair."

Shihara Emiya didn't seem to care about the loss of the Rinnegan, and he had been prepared for this matter. For him, the matter of replenishing a pair of Rinnegan was as easy as adding a cup of tea.

Emiya Shihara's face was covered with a layer of black gauze, like a blind patient, but he still gave orders in an orderly manner: "Go to Konoha and bring back the child Uchiha Sasuke. That child is a genius who has the hope of awakening the Samsara Eye in the future. This task will be handed over to the team of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame to carry out..."

"Embarara, they are both spies planted by Obito..."

Black Zetsu immediately expressed a different opinion, and whispered a reminder: "If Obito knew that the child named Uchiha Sasuke was a candidate for our future Samsara Eye, he might ask his men to get rid of Uchiha Sasuke..."

"..."

A hint of surprise appeared in Emiya Shihara's heart.

What do you mean?
Could Uchiha Itachi still kill Uchiha Sasuke?
If this kind of thing could still happen, it would be much more exciting than a pair of samsara eyes...
