Konoha: The female ninja's life collapsed after the diary was exposed.

"Yes, that's it. Combat techniques are the essence of female ninjas."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Just looking at it makes me want to touch it."

A lewd voice came from behind.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha turned around and saw a person sticking out their butt and wiggling back and forth in the bushes by the roadside.

What I just said,

It came from this person's mouth.

"asshole!"

"This pervert."

Sakura Haruno's face showed anger, and then she kicked the man in the butt.

"oops!"

"Who dares to ambush this immortal?"

The man stood up immediately after being kicked.

Subsequently,

They then turned their attention to Naruto and his group.

"You little brats, how dare you ambush this immortal? Don't you want to live?"

The man was tall and wore a red overcoat.

He wore a headband with the word "oil" written on it, and his white hair, like a hedgehog, hung down to his waist.

He carried a huge scroll on his back.

Below both eyes, there are two red marks.

Coupled with the man's imposing presence, he seemed genuinely someone not to be trifled with.

"Humph!"

"You perverted voyeur, we heard everything you just said."

"Believe it or not, I'll report you!"

Sakura Haruno snorted coldly.

Spying on others is one thing, but saying such nonsense is simply unforgivable!

"What did I say?"

"You kicked me for no reason, I should be the one suing you!"

The man shouted.

"you!"

Hearing the man's words, Sakura Haruno's chest heaved violently with anger.

How can this person be so shameless!

"You three brats, apologize to me today!"

"Invite me to a tavern for a meal, and I'll be magnanimous and let you off the hook."

"otherwise......"

The man didn't finish his sentence, but the threat in his eyes was quite obvious.

"You're dreaming!"

"who do you think You Are?"

"We're not afraid of you."

Sakura Haruno shouted, hands on her hips.

"who am I?"

"Since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you."

"The Toad Sage is a name he conceals from the world."

"The White-Haired Child of the Three Ninjas, who is invincible throughout the entire world, regardless of east, west, south, or north."

"The handsome man who can silence even the most crying child, is none other than Lord Jiraiya!"

With a series of exaggerated and comical movements, the man finished his self-introduction.

Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha were both completely bewildered.

What the hell?

Is this guy a lunatic?

Only Naruto Uzumaki showed a barely perceptible smile.

This guy,

They must have been waiting for them here on purpose, right?

What a terrible technique!

Jiraiya.

Chapter 48 The dragon returns to the sea, but the sea does not welcome me; I come of my own accord!

"Naruto, should we leave?"

"This guy seems to be a lunatic."

Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto Uzumaki and whispered.

"He's not mentally ill."

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and smiled.

"Jiraiya, a former one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the personal disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Possesses power even greater than that of an average Kage-level shikigami."

"Because his summoned beast is a giant toad, he is also known as the Toad Sage."

"am I right?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Jiraiya and said slowly.

He wants to see.

What exactly are they up to?

"Not bad, kid."

"So you've actually heard of me."

Jiraiya wore a smug smile.

did not expect,

Having been away from Konoha for so many years,

His reputation remains undiminished; even this brat knows it.

"The Third Hokage's personal disciple?"

"Then...then haven't I gotten myself into trouble?"

Sakura Haruno opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She simply couldn't connect the sleazy man in front of her with the disciple of the Third Hokage.

But since Naruto said so, it must be true.

Did she get into trouble?

"It's fine."

Naruto patted Sakura Haruno on the shoulder, then walked up to Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, what brings you here today?"

Naruto Uzumaki spoke up.

Although he doesn't intend to get involved in anything high-profile, he now possesses power surpassing that of a Kage-level powerhouse.

There's no need to pretend to be stupid like before.

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiraiya asked with a puzzled look.

"Lord Jiraiya, stop with your terrible acting."

"I just checked, there aren't many female ninjas training in the training ground."

"What you just said was just an attempt to get our attention, wasn't it?"

Naruto Uzumaki said calmly.

Upon hearing his words, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha hurriedly looked towards the training ground.

They found that the place was indeed empty.

There are no female ninjas fighting!

"hateful!"

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fist.

Naruto has outdone me again!

When will he finally be able to stand up?

"What a sharp little devil."

"It's just like back then..."

Jiraiya muttered something to himself, then his expression turned serious.

"Kid, from now on you'll be my disciple."

what?

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Sasuke Uchiha felt a surge of nameless anger rising within him once more.

A Kage-level powerhouse actually wants to take Naruto as his disciple?

Are you kidding me?

His talent is clearly so much better than Naruto's, so why not accept him as a disciple?

Even Sasuke Uchiha himself didn't know.

This is the umpteenth time he's been so jealous of Naruto.

"Your reasons?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked calmly.

seem,

He didn't take the other party's offer to take him as a disciple to heart.

"You are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"I can help you control the Nine-Tails better."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"You should know that I have reconciled with Kurama."

"I am not at risk of going berserk right now."

"So... that's not your real reason."

Uzumaki Naruto laughed.
