Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 348 If the Ninja World Had Dragon Balls

In the tranquil park, two figures, one tall and one short, sat on a bench by the lake, gazing at the shimmering water.

"It's unbelievable that such a world exists," Jiraiya exclaimed.

After talking with Wukong for a long time, he gradually figured out what kind of world Wukong lived in.

It was a unified world without war, only peace and stability. In that world, there were no ninjas, but there were martial artists who practiced martial arts.

These martial artists do not become ambitious by vying for power and territory; instead, they immerse themselves in training, striving to achieve good results in international martial arts competitions by sparring with martial artists from all over the world.

Such a world was truly a dream come true for their ninja world.

Their ninja world has experienced three world wars over the past few decades, not to mention countless smaller wars; the number of people who died in these wars is simply impossible to count.

Compared to the world where Wukong lived, their world seemed to be filled with backwardness and ignorance.

"And there are even things like Dragon Balls that can summon Shenron to grant any wish. It's practically a miracle. If I had something like that..."

'

Jiraiya also felt a little sad.

"Huh? Uncle Jiraiya, do you also have a wish you want to fulfill?" Goku tilted his head and asked curiously.

"Haha, everyone has wishes. If I could summon the dragon, my greatest wish would be for lasting peace in the entire ninja world, with no more war, bloodshed, or tears."

Jiraiya gazed leisurely at the fiery red sunset on the horizon, his eyes filled with longing.

What a wonderful scene it would be if the ninja world were at peace forever.

"Peace? If I had known, I would have brought the Dragon Balls with me." Goku scratched his head.

If this is Jiraiya's wish, he would quite like to help the other person.

"Hahaha! Never mind! I was just joking. Peace gained this way might be good, but it's not real enough." Jiraiya snapped out of his reverie and grinned.

"Not realistic enough?" Wukong tilted his head in confusion.

"That's right. Peace is something that needs to be achieved through our own efforts, not by external forces. Peace achieved by external forces is nothing but a mirage, a castle in the air, and not true peace at all." Jiraiya's smile faded, and he said seriously.

"Is that so?" Wukong scratched his head, not quite understanding.

"Yes, and I am now certain that there is someone who will bring true peace to the ninja world!" Jiraiya stood up and looked up at the sky.

"This person is my disciple, Naruto!"

"Naruto? Uncle, you seem to have mentioned that name before."

"That's right." Jiraiya turned around, a smile on his face.

"Naruto is the true prophesied child in the words of the Great Toad Sage. I now firmly believe this. His will and his perseverance will surely change the ninja world and bring true peace to it."

"Oh, oh." Wukong nodded thoughtfully.

"Haha, he's not in the village right now. When he comes back, I'll let you two meet. I think Naruto would really like to be friends with you," Jiraiya said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Let's go, it's time to have dinner!"

Moon stars are rare.

Under the dim yellow lights, Jiraiya and Goku, having finished their meal, were walking towards home.

Suddenly, Jiraiya's eyes flickered, he turned his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since you're here, why not come out?"

Whoosh whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, three ninjas wearing masks with strange patterns on their faces emerged from the shadows and landed in front of Jiraiya.

The leader bowed slightly and said, "Lord Jiraiya, we are just passing by and will leave immediately."

After saying that, the three ninjas prepared to leave.

But before they could make a move, Jiraiya said, "Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else you need, Jiraiya-sama?"

The leading ninja appeared respectful, but his tone was quite cold, like an unyielding block of ice.

Jiraiya's gaze swept over the three of them, and he quickly confirmed their identities. He said calmly, "Danzo sent you, didn't he?"

"Lord Jiraiya, I don't understand what you mean," the leading ninja replied without changing his expression.

The three of them were the Root team sent by Danzo to investigate Goku.

After spending the whole day investigating in Konoha, they didn't find any useful information. So when they discovered Goku's whereabouts, they decided to follow him to see where he was living.

Jiraiya and the others who were with Goku saw it at the same time. In order not to be discovered by Jiraiya, they lagged far behind, but they didn't expect to be discovered anyway.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided to show themselves after hearing Jiraiya's voice, intending to find an excuse and leave immediately, but Jiraiya called out to them.

"Don't understand?" Jiraiya chuckled.

He knew that these Root guys were definitely after Wukong. Otherwise, would they have the audacity to follow him?

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and tell Danzo that this boy is a close friend of mine, his identity is innocent, and he has been granted permission by the Hokage to stay in Konoha temporarily. If he has nothing to do, he should go and gather information about the Akatsuki organization, instead of being suspicious and paranoid all the time in the village." Jiraiya said, pointing to Goku beside him.

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya, I will relay your words to Lord Danzo later."

The leader of the Root Squad nodded, and then he and two other team members immediately disappeared from the spot.

After they left, Goku, who had been silently observing the situation, asked in confusion, "Uncle Jiraiya, who were they?"

He actually noticed the arrival of the three even earlier than Jiraiya, but he didn't think much of it and didn't see anything wrong with it.

"They come from the roots." Jiraiya thought for two seconds before deciding to say it.

"root?"

"Yes, that's an organization hidden in the shadows of Konoha. They're ruthless and unscrupulous. If you ever encounter them, Goku, remember to be careful," Jiraiya said earnestly.

Then he chuckled, clutching his head, "Well, you don't need to worry about anything. After what I said today, they shouldn't bother you anymore."

"Oh, oh." Wukong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"By the way, Goku, I haven't asked you yet. Since you won't be returning to your world anytime soon, is there anything you want to do while you're in our world?" Jiraiya glanced at Goku.

"Well... I want to train hard, then spar with the powerful guys here, learn amazing skills, and improve my strength!" Goku replied after only two or three seconds of thought.

"Is that so? Your thinking is really simplistic." Jiraiya shook his head and laughed.

He thought Wukong would want to travel around and experience the local customs and culture, but he never expected him to want to cultivate.

Thinking about Wukong's morning exercises, a thought suddenly popped into his head: Could Wukong be a cultivation fanatic?

"Uncle Jiraiya, do you know anyone powerful?" Goku asked, his eyes sparkling.

Although he can sense auras, who knows if the experts here will hide their auras? So it would be best if Jiraiya could directly provide candidates.

"A powerful person? Haha, Goku, I must say you've come to the right person." Jiraiya laughed heartily.

Wukong's eyes lit up, and he looked at him expectantly.

"Clang! This person is right here, even though he's far away! It's none other than me, the Toad Sage!" Jiraiya struck a strange pose, his tone incredibly quirky.

"Huh?" Wukong blinked.

The uncle's aura was indeed not weak, but it was far inferior to his. Could it be that the uncle was a master who was hiding his strength?

"You don't believe me? Let me tell you, Goku, in the ninja world today, just go out and ask around, who doesn't know me, the famous Toad Sage Jiraiya? Although my strength is far inferior to the former God of Shinobi, Hashirama, I am definitely among the top in the ninja world today!" Jiraiya put one hand on his hip and boasted to himself.

"Wow, you're so amazing, Uncle! Please, Uncle, have a match with me!" Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Goku immediately regarded Jiraiya as a formidable opponent and eagerly invited him.

"Haha, no problem. We'll find a place to practice tomorrow. I'm also quite curious about what martial arts are like in your world."

In the underground space where the roots are located.

The Root team that had previously encountered Jiraiya and Goku returned here to report to Danzo on the meager information they had gathered that day and the events that had occurred not long ago.

When Danzo heard that they hadn't gathered much useful information about the target and that Jiraiya had even noticed their actions, his face turned ashen.

"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash! They can't even handle this little thing!"

The three Root ninjas lowered their heads even further.

Danzo tapped his fingers on the armrest, his voice icy as he said, "You're saying Jiraiya called that brat his close friend despite their age difference, and that Tsunade has already agreed to let him live in Konoha?"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

"Besides these, what else did he say?"

The lead Root ninja cautiously glanced up at Danzo, then quickly lowered his head again.

No, that's all.

He dared not utter Jiraiya's last two sentences, because he knew that if he did, Lord Danzo would be furious, and they would be the ones to suffer.

"Hmph, I know, you can go now."

Danzo snorted coldly.

"Lord Danzo, about this mission..."

""

"We don't need to continue for now."

"yes!"

Once Danzo was alone in the space, he muttered to himself, "That brat must have a secret, otherwise Jiraiya wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Since I can't find any information, I'll go find Tsunade myself and ask her what's going on!"

The next day.

Jiraiya and Goku arrived in a relatively remote wilderness.

"Wukong, let's begin. Let me see the brilliance of your martial arts."

Jiraiya didn't waste any time and immediately got to the point.

This was exactly what Goku wanted. After doing a few warm-up exercises, he nodded and said excitedly, "Come on, Uncle Jiraiya, I'm ready."

The world of One Piece is full of all sorts of powerful techniques. I wonder what kind of amazing techniques he'll have in this new world. It's really something to look forward to.

"They're here!"

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya didn't hold back and immediately unleashed a powerful Fire Release ninjutsu.

Although he had never fought Goku before, he had glimpsed Goku's strength from Goku's speed of movement on the way back to the village.

With that kind of speed and agility, even if Goku couldn't catch his fireballs, he would never be hit easily.

Swish! !

as predicted.

As the fireball scorched the air and rushed towards Goku with an astonishing heat wave, Goku vanished from his spot in an instant.

boom!!!

The fireball exploded with a deafening roar, and crimson flames swept in all directions, instantly scorching large areas of the ground with blackened marks.

Wukong, who appeared on the other side, glanced at it and muttered to himself:

This move is somewhat similar to Ace's.

call out! ! !

Just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out from the side, and Jiraiya was seen thrusting a kunai straight at his neck.

"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit, Goku."

Jiraiya smiled slightly, believing he was going to win the first round.

But at that very moment, Wukong suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"What?!"

Jiraiya's pupils contracted slightly as he instinctively sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to react, he suddenly felt a force coming from his buttocks.

Bang!

But then Goku appeared behind Jiraiya and kicked him away.

In an instant, Jiraiya drew an arc in the air and then landed face-first on the ground with a thud.

"Strange, why does this uncle seem like he's not that capable?"

Wukong scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

In his opinion, Jiraiya should have been able to avoid that kick, since he hadn't even used half his strength.

Jiraiya, who had eaten a mouthful of dirt, got up from the ground, shouting, "Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

He turned around and looked at Wukong, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The speed just now was so fast that he could hardly detect it. It seems that he really can't be careless.

"Hey, Goku, it seems you're even stronger than I thought. I'm going to get serious now."

Goku, who was wondering about Jiraiya's strength, suddenly understood upon hearing this.

That's more like it. Jiraiya didn't use his full strength at all.

"The technique of throwing all shuriken!"

Jiraiya pulled out a bunch of shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and showered them upon Goku.

Wukong dodged them all with a flash.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath, a surge of heat rising in his throat, and with a sudden opening of his mouth, a scorching fireball shot towards Goku once again.

This time, Goku neither dodged nor evaded, but clenched his right fist and swung it fiercely at the fireball.

The next moment, an astonishing shockwave burst forth from his fist, instantly blasting the crimson flame bullet into a burst of sparks!

"what?"

Wukong ignored this scene and looked around.

Just now, he noticed that Jiraiya's presence seemed to have disappeared.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the ground beneath his feet and grabbed his right ankle.

When he looked down, a tremendous force pulled his feet into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself completely buried in the ground, with only his head sticking out.

"Huh?" Wukong blinked blankly.

What kind of move is this?

"Hahaha, Goku, how about my Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique?" Jiraiya popped out of the ground beside him, hands on his hips, laughing heartily.

When he was young, he was tricked by Sarutobi-sensei using this trick. Many years later, it was his turn to use this trick to trick others.

"Uncle Jiraiya, so you were burrowing into the ground just now." Goku exclaimed in realization as he watched Jiraiya emerge from the ground.

The earth has a certain ability to isolate one's presence, and it is difficult to discover people hiding inside without careful observation.

After Jiraiya's aura disappeared, Goku, following normal human thinking, didn't immediately focus his attention on the ground, thus giving Jiraiya an opportunity to strike.

"Goku, you've lost this round," Jiraiya said smugly.

He had just been kicked by Wukong, but now he returned the favor by embracing the earth, successfully turning the tables.

Otherwise, this kid might look down on us!

"Lose? That's not necessarily true."

Just as Jiraiya was feeling quite smug, he saw Goku unleash his power, and an astonishing aura suddenly erupted.

The next instant, the ground where he was standing suddenly exploded open, and the soil binding him flew in all directions, instantly turning Jiraiya into a mud monkey who looked like he had been rolling around in a field.

Jiraiya, his face covered in mud, blinked blankly at his only exposed eyes: ?
