Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

“I heard that a few years ago, a giant hole was burned in the stomach wall of the Rock-Dwelling Toad in Myōboku Mountain.

"In the end, it was in that healing fountain that I was healed."

Is that the big toad from Suyan?

Uchiha Sasuke was startled when he heard this, and instantly recalled the night when he met Uchiha Itachi for the first time after a long separation.

At that time, Jiraiya used the "Toad Mouth Binding Technique" and almost captured Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame in one fell swoop.

"Amaterasu."

Uchiha Sasuke said silently.

On the other side, Uzumaki Naruto was confused and looked at Uchiha Sasuke. Seeing this, the latter continued:

"Have you forgotten? Not long after the Konoha Defense War, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame went to your doorstep to look for you."

"Ah, that's the day!"

Uzumaki Naruto finally remembered, and he smiled as if he had suddenly realized something.

“Anyway, even wounds of that size can be healed.

"Jiraiya, he will be fine!"

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the healing spring of Mount Myōboku.

The Healing Spring is hidden deep in a lush forest, surrounded by huge trees and lotus leaves.

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this holy place.

The spring water flows out from the rocks, clear to the bottom, as if it can wash away all the dust and fatigue in the world.

The spring water contains extremely rich natural energy.

Even though Uchiha Sasuke had never practiced the Sage Mode, he could clearly sense that a faint fluctuation of spiritual power was brewing.

"Lustful fairy!"

On this side, Uzumaki Naruto quickly discovered Jiraiya lying in the cabin.

I saw that his whole body was immersed in the water, with only his face floating on the surface.

The spring water flowed slowly through his body, constantly nourishing his scarred body.

"Sasuke, Naruto"

Hearing the sound, Jiraiya slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing these two disciples again, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions.

“Are you feeling better?

"Your arm."

Uzumaki Naruto asked with a sad face.

Seeing Jiraiya like this, he just felt very sad.

"Ah, it's okay.

"I managed to save my life."

Jiraiya struggled to sit up, leaning weakly against the bow of the cabin. He wanted to force a smile, but it agitated his wound, and he made a funny grinning expression instead.

"Just lie down!"

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke was just looking aside awkwardly, refusing to look at him.

After hearing the noise and seeing Jiraiya's miserable condition, he finally couldn't help but keep persuading him.

Sasuke bent down and helped Jiraiya lie down again.

During the process, the master and the disciple looked at each other in silence.

An awkward silence spread in the air. Uzumaki Naruto, who noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, just stood there silently.

He looked back and forth at his master and senior brother beside him, at a loss.

"I"

Jiraiya's lips moved, and he was about to say something, but Uchiha Sasuke also spoke at the same time.

He just waved his hand, sighed and said:

"It's good to be alive."

"cough"

Seeing this, Jiraiya didn't say anything more.

I only heard him coughing softly, turning his head and asking:

“When did Naruto get together with Sasuke?

"I heard from Boss Fukasaku that your mastery of Sage Mode has surpassed mine."

"Hehe, it's okay."

Hearing his master's praise, Uzumaki Naruto scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly.

After a moment, Naruto suddenly remembered something.

He raised his head again, and asked loudly with a puzzled look on his face:

"So, you, the lecherous immortal.

"How did you come back to life?

"That day, and at the funeral, I clearly saw you, and you were indeed dead."

"Huh? This."

After all, I can't avoid this topic.

Jiraiya was stunned and turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke beside him.

That look seemed to say:

Haven't you explained it to him yet?

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke looked embarrassed.

He turned his back and began to appreciate the scenery of Mount Myoboku.

"this and that"

Jiraiya hesitated, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

“But now I understand completely!”

On the side, Uzumaki Naruto said with a smile:

"Everything you did was to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization and obtain intelligence, right?"

"?"

"?"

After hearing this explanation, Jiraiya and Sasuke were controlled on the spot.

Especially Uchiha Sasuke.

Previously, although it was hasty, he had explained to the other party about Danzo!

"Didn't I tell you? It's because..."

Uchiha Sasuke was about to speak, but he heard Jiraiya say in a decisive tone:

"That's right! That's what you said!"

This explanation is much more glorious than internal strife.

From now on, everyone will follow this statement, and return to the Konohagakure in glory.

On this side, seeing Jiraiya winking at him, Sasuke didn't know what to say.

"So, what was the result of your battle?"

Earlier, when Jiraiya heard Naruto mention Akatsuki again, his heart sank.

He turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"A great victory!"

Uzumaki Naruto said excitedly.

"The real body was not found."

Uchiha Sasuke said in a deep voice.

The two people's emotions are high and low, in sharp contrast.

Afterwards, Naruto and Sasuke recounted the entire battle process.

During the conversation, I listened to the two disciples' outstanding performances.

Jiraiya's heart was gradually filled with pride and honor.

".After comprehensive consideration, we decided to withdraw first."

Here, Uchiha Sasuke's story ends.

His tone was filled with regret that could not be concealed.

"You made the right decision."

Here, Jiraiya said seriously:

"After this battle, we have thoroughly explored the details of the Akatsuki organization.

"Compared to our previous passive position, we can finally formulate our response strategy based on the opponent's characteristics.

"From now on, offense and defense will change."

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, paused, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He said hesitantly:
