Not long after, Shingetsu Seiun, who was resting at home, met Jiraiya.

He initially thought the other party had discovered something and was there to cause trouble, but after meeting them, he realized that wasn't the case.

After some conversation, and after Shingetsu Seiun told Naruto that "the Toad Sage is very capable," Naruto reluctantly accepted the fact that Jiraiya had taught him.

Jiraiya was in a good mood. With Shingetsu Seiun speaking up for him, he could finally begin his plan to teach Uzumaki Naruto.

But he soon realized that he had been too happy.

Jiraiya found a secluded spot in the back mountains of Konoha and planned to conduct a simple assessment of Naruto's abilities.

"Use all your tricks." Jiraiya faced Naruto Uzumaki with complete confidence.

"Let me see just how capable you really are."

"If it doesn't meet my requirements, I'll put in extra practice!"

Sensing Jiraiya's arrogant attitude, Naruto clenched his fist.

"Alright!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!"

"Boom boom boom~" Accompanied by a cloud of smoke, Jiraiya's eyes were filled with countless Naruto Uzumaki.

Jiraiya looked at the magnificent scene before him and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Multiple shadow clones? The number... is not bad."

"But that alone isn't enough to convince me."

Naruto Uzumaki: "What else?!" *N.

With a shout, a pale blue chakra sphere began to condense and gather.

Soon, this area on the back hill became a sea of ​​basketballs.

One by one, Naruto-like figures, each wielding a Rasengan, swarmed towards Jiraiya's direction.

Jiraiya's brow twitched. He knew the power of the Rasengan all too well and dared not take it head-on. As Naruto's shadow clones attacked one after another, he dodged their attacks with lightning speed.

However, with Naruto sparing no Shadow Clones, the Rasengan's attack is virtually unstoppable.

Jiraiya had no choice but to let his white hair stand up straight, shooting forward like a thousand raindrops.

The shadow clones vanished in large numbers.

"Hahaha~" Jiraiya laughed loudly as he dealt with the shadow clones.

"Such ridiculous tactics will not win against me."

"Naruto, while your skills are decent, they're still far from earning my respect."

"Isn't there a more powerful method?"

"Attack me with your strongest attack! Don't worry, I won't get hurt!"

Hearing Jiraiya's arrogant words, Naruto Uzumaki felt a surge of energy within him. After unleashing another Rasengan and Wind Release technique with his Shadow Clones, he mentally summoned the Nine-Tails.

"Nine Lamas".

Is it a good idea to intervene in this situation?

The Nine-Tails thought to Naruto, "They shouldn't be considered enemies."

Naruto Uzumaki: "But he told me to attack with my strongest methods."

"And he underestimated us, saying we wouldn't get hurt no matter what."

Nine-Tails paused for a moment.

A few seconds later, while Naruto waited, it slowly said, "In that case... we can simply give him a shot."

Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement.

Under the cover of the shadow clones, the main body quietly retreated, extending his hand as if to condense a Rasengan, but in his mind, he secretly aimed his palm at Jiraiya.

As a powerful force surged up his arm, the lines on his arm lit up.

An energy ball, different from the Rasengan, began to condense and take shape.

Chapter 546 Danzo's Frustration

Jiraiya, who was happily clearing away the shadow clones, suddenly felt a sense of danger rising in his heart.

The feeling came so suddenly and so intensely that it made his already bristling white hair stand up even higher.

His keen senses as a Kage-level ninja made him quickly look up, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the danger was coming from.

He saw it: a Naruto Uzumaki raising his hand, and in front of his palm, a powerful energy ball was forming.

Feeling that evil yet powerful energy, Jiraiya's eyes widened.

"Wait a moment…"

"Whoosh!" The energy ball flew out of my hand.

Jiraiya could barely see the path through which an energy ball flew, but his eyes couldn't pinpoint its exact location.

Almost the instant he thought of it, the energy ball was already close to him.

Jiraiya's heart rate instantly exceeded 180 beats per minute.

He cursed under his breath, then used his Instantaneous Movement ability to leap to the side at full speed to dodge.

"Whoosh!" The energy ball flew past.

After dodging, Jiraiya quickly turned around.

He saw a mark.

On the ground, a semi-circular groove extends outwards, reaching a distance of over 100 meters.

Then it exploded a hundred meters away.

"Boom!~"

The mountain behind was shaking.

The loud bang could be heard throughout Konoha.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the shockwave swept up vegetation and dust, and even though Jiraiya protected himself with his hands, he was still covered in dust and dirt and had to be pushed back.

A few seconds later, the blast wave gradually subsided.

Still shaken, Jiraiya glanced at the large crater in the distance, then turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki, who was now just his original form, and muttered to himself.

"Damn it!"

Not long after, the ANBU ninjas arrived in a hurry.

Upon seeing Jiraiya, they breathed a sigh of relief, having been on high alert.

"Lord Jiraiya, you're here?"

Did you make that noise just now?

Jiraiya: "..."

After hesitating for two seconds, Jiraiya replied with high emotional intelligence: "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Don't worry, everything's alright now, go back."

"Tell Tsunade it was just an accident."

Without answering or denying, Jiraiya dismissed the Anbu ninja before slowly walking to Naruto's side.

Looking down at the blond-haired boy, Jiraiya's expression was complicated.

"What kind of trick did you just use?"

Naruto Uzumaki: "Rental Collection Technique!"

Jiraiya: "...It's the power of the Nine-Tails, isn't it?"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded.

Jiraiya sighed.

"How are you able to use the Nine-Tails' power?"

"How did you do that?"

Naruto Uzumaki: "It's very simple."

"Uncle Nebula communicated with Nine-Tailed Fox twice, and it agreed."

"We are now partners fighting side by side."

Jiraiya: "..."

For a moment, he was even a little confused.

This guy in front of me, who seems to be the 'chosen one', is just too outrageous!

Rasengan.

Multiple shadow clones.

Good skill in stealth and close-combat reflexes.

Now, he is even able to use the power of the Nine-Tails, and becoming a 'perfect Jinchūriki' seems to be just around the corner.

What else can I teach the other person?

Is it artistic creation?

Seeing his silence, Naruto Uzumaki asked, "Does this mean I've passed?"

After saying that, remembering Shenyue Xingyun's instructions, he asked again, "Can you teach me immortal techniques now?"

Naruto's words brought Jiraiya back to his senses.

"Celestial arts?" he asked. "Did Shenyue Xingyun tell you about it?"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded: "Yeah."
