Naruto

Chapter 42: Miaomu Mountain

Two days later, in the central square of Konoha, all the villagers held their breath and looked up at the beautiful figure on the Hokage's high platform.

"From today on, Konoha Village will be governed by me! I am the fifth generation Hokage, Senju Tsunade!" Tsunade, who was wearing a dark green robe, took the Hokage hat from Hiruzen and waved to everyone.

.

"Long live Lord Godaime!"

"The will of fire lives on forever!"

When Tsunade heard the cheers of the crowd, her heart moved slightly, and her eyes swept over a hidden corner in the empty street.

"While everyone is still gathered in the square, we must set off immediately, Erotic Sage." Naruto heard the roar of people in the distance, a smile appeared on his face, turned to Jiraiya and said.

"Okay!" Jiraiya scratched the thumb of his right hand with him, formed seals with both hands in the order of "Hai-Xu-Yu-Shen-Wei", and pressed his palms to the ground at the same time, "Ninjutsu? Psychic

The art!"

After a burst of white smoke, Gamabunta and Fukasaku Sennin appeared in front of them.

"Little Naruto! Why has it been so long and you haven't summoned me once?" Bun Tai asked angrily.

"Haha, haven't I summoned you now, Boss Toad? How could I have the nerve to help you with those little things before?" A flattering smile appeared on the blond boy's face.

"It seems that you are ready to set off." Fukasaku Sennin looked at the huge backpacks behind Naruto and Jiraiya and said slowly.

"Well! I'll ask you to take care of me in the next few days!" Naruto pulled the shoulder strap of his backpack and bowed deeply to the two toads.

Fukasaku Sennin smiled and nodded, looked at each other with Gamabunta, released the psychic summons, and returned to Mt. Myoboku.

Naruto took one last look back at the noisy crowd in the square, raised his right hand, and with a relaxed smile on his face, waved goodbye to the friends he had made in the past thirteen years.

Jiraiya stood behind Naruto, put his right hand on his shoulder, and together with him, they were pulled by the power of the counter-spiritual art and disappeared into a cloud of white smoke.

There was no intermediate process or any discomfort. Naruto just felt his eyes flash, and the surrounding scene changed from an empty street to a green field full of spring.

Naruto took a deep breath and felt a sense of freshness after the clouds cleared and the rain fell. He looked into the distance. Under the blue sky, huge lotus leaves were like towering trees, scattered in an orderly manner on the flat surface.

In the valley, emerald green lakes are like gems inlaid on the land further away, and the peaks at the end of the sight are shrouded in heavy mist.

Compared with those legendary caves and paradises in Naruto's previous life, the mountains and rivers here are less independent and proud, and have more of a natural charm.

"Welcome to one of the three sacred places of senjutsu, Mt. Myoki." Fukasaku Sensori was wearing a black cloak and stood calmly in front of the two of them. Seeing that Naruto looked a little reserved, he said to the white-haired ninja beside him.

, "Jiraiya, take little Naruto to your residence and put down all your things. I'll go back and talk to the child's mother first and ask her to prepare lunch.

I’ll treat you to a meal.”

"Thank you, two immortals. See you later." Jiraiya nodded.

"Oh, by the way, your room is at the end of the corridor. There is a complicated lock on the door, but you should be able to unlock it, little Naruto."

"Ah? Why?" Naruto asked doubtfully.

"Because that's where you stayed when you visited Mt. Myoboku." Fukasaku Sennin winked at the boy.

"ha?!"

—————————————————————

An hour later, Naruto stood in front of the wooden door at the end of the corridor of Miaomu Mountain's reception area, staring at the complicated runes on the door without saying a word.

"How's it going? Do you have any clues?" Jiraiya asked softly from the side.

"This is... seal nesting. I have never seen such a technique in any literature before." Naruto tapped his forehead protector in distress and took out a piece of white paper and a pencil.

, and drew a sketch, "Although the overall chakra nodes of this seal seem messy, if you separate and cluster them carefully, you can see that this is a three-party seal. The four-image seal and the five-element seal follow certain rules.

A combined seal that is pieced together regularly." He used different marks on the sketch to mark the nodes belonging to three different seals.

"What a clever technique." Jiraiya turned his head and looked at the sketch, which was almost exactly the same proportion as the real thing. He admired it and then asked, "Do you have any ideas for unblocking it?"

"Since this is made up of multiple seals nested inside each other, when we unseal it, we should naturally untie it at the same time." Naruto made a cross with his fingers and summoned two shadow clones.

"Five Elements Seal? Unsolved!"

"Three-party seal? Unsolved!"

"Four Symbols Seal? Unsolved!"

Naruto's body and clones used three different unsealing techniques together. A light flashed across the door, and the originally dark runes quickly faded and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Successful! Now let's take a look at what that guy who likes to meddle in other people's business has left behind!" Naruto released the shadow clone, clasped his fists in his hands, and said viciously.

"Aren't you scolding yourself?" Jiraiya knocked on his head and said helplessly.

"Ah haha, it seems to make sense." Naruto scratched the back of his head with a silly smile, opened the door, and saw the scene inside the house.

To the surprise of both of them, there were neither stacked books nor any scrolls, runes or seals in the spacious and bright room. There was only a wooden table lying across the center and several sets of neatly folded linen cloths.

Clothes, a floor mat made of a roll of cattails, and the most eye-catching scroll on the wall. On the scroll was written a big word with a brush - "forbearance".

The young man walked into the room, looked around at the extremely simple furnishings, imagined himself lying on the floor, watching the picture of "endure" sleeping with the word "endure" in his clothes, and suddenly understood his future intention.

He was telling his current self what kind of mentality he should use to spend his time in Mt. Myoboku.

"I love so much

This room. Erotic Sage, please go back to your room and pack your things. We will meet in the lobby in half an hour and wait for Fukasaku Sage together." Naruto put his backpack on the ground and said to the white-haired ninja beside him with a smile.

Jiraiya looked at the vigorously written characters on the wall, feeling the stubborn energy beneath the young man's gentle appearance. He felt a little moved on his face, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay."

When the sun rose to the highest point on the celestial sphere, Fukasaku Sennin took the dishes carefully prepared by his wife Shima Sennin and came to the porch of the reception area. He saw Jiraiya's master and apprentice who had been waiting for a long time. He took out the lunch box

, while saying to the two of them: "There are no other meals on Miaomu Mountain.

There are only these things. They may not be in line with the taste of you humans, but they are absolutely nutritious! Little Jiraiya is already used to eating them, and little Naruto, you will have to adapt more in the next few years!" said

When he was done, he removed the lid, revealing the curious contents of the lunch box.

Fried locusts, lotus roots stewed with white maggots, steamed ants, and raw bibimbap with giant earthworms as the main ingredients. The heads of the earthworms kept squirming on the plate, making Naruto's scalp feel numb.

"I'm starting!" Jiraiya clasped his hands together and performed a hasty pre-dinner etiquette. He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and stuffed the fat white maggots into his mouth. He turned his head and looked at his pale face.

Naruto, who covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly, said seriously: "If you can't even adapt to this, how can you talk about practicing immortality?"

After hearing Jiraiya's lesson, Naruto swallowed, closed his eyes, picked up an earthworm with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. He ignored the feeling of the earthworm's constantly twisting body hitting the inner wall of his mouth, and bit it hard.

The earthworm's bitten body spattered a stream of mucus, which filled Naruto's mouth and mouth. Finally, he could no longer suppress his nausea and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.

"Ugh——!" Naruto vomited out all the ramen he had eaten in the morning. After the nausea subsided, he condensed a ball of water and rinsed his mouth to wash away the sour taste of gastric juice remaining in his mouth.

, then he returned to the dining table and apologized softly to Fukasaku Sennin: "Yes...I'm sorry, I'm still...not quite used to the food here..."

"It doesn't matter. But you must finish these dishes, otherwise you won't have the strength to start practicing senjutsu in the afternoon." Fukasaku-sage said kindly.

"I understand." Naruto nodded slightly, picked up another earthworm tremblingly, and stuffed it into his mouth...

After half an hour of hard struggle, Naruto finally finished all the special dishes and leaned back on the chair dripping with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Jiraiya sent Fukasaku away.

The immortal stood in front of him, folded his arms and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you still have the confidence to complete the next practice task?"

"Yes!" Naruto's depressed aura was swept away, and he jumped up from his seat like a spring, waving his fists excitedly, and roared energetically, as if he was expressing his determination to Jiraiya, but also as if

It's to cheer yourself up.
