Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Hiruzen Sarutobi hopes to use this great battle to help Kazan advance further.

"I understand."

This is to cultivate Kazan as a future pillar of Konoha.

"You should tell Kazan about this yourself. I won't tell him myself, so he doesn't smash up my door."

"Finally, there's Orochimaru. It's been a long time since the three of you have gotten together. Go and see him."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance, sensing something unusual.

What happened to Orochimaru?

"Don't take it to heart, it's just a rare reunion, and we're letting you all get together."

I don't believe you for a second.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood them, but how could they not understand Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Something must have happened that they don't know yet.

.........

evening.

Minato Namikaze's family.

Kazan was invited by Jiraiya to visit this place.

"Yo, long time no see, Nine-Tails."

"Hey, you should at least say hello to us."

Kushina snorted, clearly displeased with Kazan's attitude of focusing solely on Kurama while ignoring her.

"We have nothing to say to women who don't have brains, right, Nine-Tails?"

'snort!'

The Nine-Tails, which was sealed away, finally reacted and, for once, agreed with Kazan.

"Nine-Tails, you still haven't told it your name?"

'You are not worthy to know my name. Get out of my way and don't bother me.'

“You really are a proud and arrogant fox.” Kazan bent down and said to Kushina’s stomach, “One day, someone will come to wipe away your hatred.”

'Stop dreaming, kid. As long as humans are still humans, my hatred will never be erased.'

The Nine-Tails fell silent again.

Before his death, the Sage of Six Paths gave him a mission, hoping that he could live in peace with humans and become the leader of the nine tailed beasts.

As a result, Nine-Tails failed to achieve any of them!

Having lived too long and witnessed too much filth, the Nine-Tailed Fox no longer trusts any humans.

"What a stubborn old man."

Kazan straightened up and stopped talking to Kurama.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, on the other hand, both looked like they'd seen a ghost.

"Kazan, you..."

"He was talking to the Nine-Tailed Fox. I was quite surprised at first. It's amazing that someone would be willing to communicate with that fox."

Kushina's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary).

She tried again later, but was completely ignored by the Nine-Tails.

That stinky fox only wants to talk to Kazan briefly, refusing to communicate with anyone else.

Communicating with the Tailed Beasts?

Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply as he thought about his time with Kazan.

He even suspected that Kazan might be the prophesied child mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.

Chapter 66 Advance Troops

Jiraiya searched for a long time but could never find a way to change the world.

But he firmly believes that peace cannot be achieved by force.

communicate!

Communication is the only way to understand each other and reach a consensus.

Jiraiya had read through a lot of history, and he had repeatedly watched and pondered the First Five Kage Summit.

During that meeting, the First Hokage did not use his invincible power, but instead used his voice to persuade the leaders of the other ninja villages, bringing the first peace to the ninja world since the Warring States period!

But he could never find the answer to how to build a bridge.

The Kazan before me could even chat with Kurama (the Nine-Tails), possessing an ability to read, or rather, understand, the hearts of others...

Could it be Kazan?

Jiraiya planned to continue observing.

.........

The dinner was very lively.

The main purpose is to welcome Jiraiya back and celebrate Tsunade's return to Konoha.

Everyone here has a close relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi; they can be considered the past, present, and future of the Hokage faction.

Therefore, there is nothing they cannot talk about.

After the meal, the group sat down, and Jiraiya brought up the arrangements for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"In two weeks, Kazan, you will come with me as part of the advance team to the border."

"The arrangements for the three generations of old men?"

“That’s right, your head is worth 2 million taels now. He wouldn’t trust just anyone.”

"Okay, just let me know when you're ready to go."

The cheerful atmosphere turned serious.

The word "war" is always a source of tension, no matter the era.

Even the carefree Kushina seemed to mature several years in an instant.

"Is it just you, Jiraiya-sensei? Where is Orochimaru-sama?"

"Orochimaru... the old man has other plans."

Jiraiya went to see Orochimaru in the afternoon.

He couldn't describe the feeling; he only felt that Orochimaru had become even colder.

After World War II, Orochimaru became obsessed with various research projects. He always had phrases like "life is too fragile" on his lips.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya both wanted to figure out what Orochimaru was doing.

however.

Orochimaru is a man who leaves no room for error in his work. If he doesn't tell you, it's very difficult to get any results from his investigation.

With a major battle imminent, we have no choice but to put it aside for now.

.........

"Are you leaving the village again?"

"Yeah, just like Jiraiya this time. Don't look like that, you'll be leaving the village with Uncle Shinku soon."

The back mountain.

Kazan is studying medical ninjutsu.

These techniques are much more difficult to master than the Five Elements Ninjutsu I know.

The requirements for chakra control have reached an extremely demanding level.

Kazan cultivates with dozens of shadow clones every day, yet he still hasn't mastered the Yin Injury Healing Technique or the Palm Immortal Technique.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even a ninja with exceptional talent like Sakura Haruno trained under Tsunade for two years before she could fully master it.

It's unrealistic for Kazan to think he can master medical ninjutsu in a short time.

But he had no other choice but to fight to the death.

"I feel like I'm getting further and further away from you." Hong said, somewhat frustrated, hugging her knees.

Since defeating Kakashi and gaining fame, Kazan has been like a high-speed train, moving forward at breakneck speed.

He was first taken in as the third Hokage's fourth disciple, entrusted with important tasks during the Chunin Exams, and later participated in the crucial mission of finding Tsunade.

Now, he will be stationed at the front line as part of the vanguard alongside Jiraiya-sama.

All of this proves that Kazan has begun to get involved in important events in Konoha.

We've fallen too far behind them.

"What's far or not? I've always been here." Kazan gave him a gentle pat on the head. "You should just stay here and train with Uncle Crimson."

"Ah."

..........

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

border.

Jiraiya and Kazan led a force of several hundred men to a village.

All that remained before me was ruins, marked by fire, the surroundings were pitch black, and many corpses were scattered about.

"We're too late. Can you find out which village was responsible?"

"Unable to determine, there are no obvious traces of ninjutsu."
