Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

That makes sense.

These highly skilled talents were not only not given important positions, but were instead constantly ostracized, which was something that the proud and arrogant Orochimaru could not tolerate.

Orochimaru smiled without saying a word, then left.

But before he leaves, he has something earth-shattering to do...

...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence.

inside the house.

Besides him, there was also Jiraiya.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe and exhaled the smoke. "After all these years, you've finally decided to come back. Thank you for your contributions in the war."

If it weren't for Jiraiya's Sage Mode joining the battle...

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi personally took action.

It's really hard to say who will win or lose the war against the Hidden Cloud Village.

Jiraiya looked out the window and said, "Sarutobi-sensei, Orochimaru also contributed a lot this time. I was just cooperating with everyone."

Upon hearing the name Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that Orochimaru's whereabouts had been mysterious over the years, and that they were now only superficially on the surface.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somewhat lost as he spoke.

"Jiraiya, stay in Konoha. I'll let you lead Root. After a few years, when I retire, I'll nominate you to be the Fifth Hokage!"

Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Sarutobi-sensei, I enjoy traveling and recording beautiful moments in the world, and then writing them into my books. Besides, my abilities are limited, and I am not capable of leading Root."

"As for Hokage? Forget about it, I'm just not cut out to be a leader!"

Jiraiya directly refused.

He also has his own tasks.

For example, going to find that legendary chosen one.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to persuade him, "I can have Shikaku from the Nara clan assist you. With your abilities, you are fully capable of serving as the Fifth Hokage!"

There are undercurrents in Konoha now.

In addition, the Uchiha, Hyuga, and other clans gradually grew closer.

All of this put pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Jiraiya also possesses Sage Mode.

Its strength is incomparably powerful.

If he were in Konoha.

He'll definitely be more secure in his position as Hokage.

"Sarutobi-sensei thinks too highly of me. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!"

Fearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi would continue rambling, Jiraiya left without looking back.

Only Hiruzen Sarutobi remained in the dimly lit room, puffing away at his cigarette, the grayish-white smoke swirling around him.

Sarutobi Biwako died.

His three disciples were like strangers to him.

Her son is one of the twelve guardian ninja of the Land of Fire.

I was all alone.

"No, I've already lost everything, I can't just hand over the Hokage position!"

After leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi's residence.

Jiraiya walked down a familiar path.

Ten minutes later.

Jiraiya arrived at the foot of an apartment building.

Inside the apartment.

A blond little boy, about three years old, is busy.

Naruto was seen using the boiled water to make instant noodles. A moment later, he slurped the noodles down with a happy smile on his face.

"Lord Jiraiya!" A white-haired youth appeared before Jiraiya and bowed respectfully.

Kakashi!

Today is his shift, and he is responsible for secretly monitoring Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

They saw Jiraiya, so they came up to say hello.

Upon seeing Kakashi, Jiraiya spoke jokingly.

"Oh, it's our ANBU squad leader Kakashi. Long time no see. You've been promoted. Congratulations!"

Hearing the other person's slightly sarcastic words, Kakashi fell silent.

Suddenly, Jiraiya spoke up, blaming himself.

"Over the years, I have been searching for the legendary Child of Destiny. I have given up a lot and neglected a lot. I thought Konoha would take good care of Naruto, but I was disappointed. I was just taking things for granted."

This is precisely why Jiraiya treated Hiruzen Sarutobi with such indifference.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto, who was clearly enjoying himself even while eating instant noodles, and then spoke.

"Everyone knows that Naruto is the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a symbol of evil and destruction, but how many people know that he is the only son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki, who sacrificed themselves to save the village?"

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was my teacher, so I can't say much. But you are Minato Namikaze's student. How can you stand by and watch Naruto suffer so much!"

As the word "wronged" fell.

Jiraiya, his face contorted with rage, suddenly attacked.

He kicked Kakashi with all his might.

Swift as lightning.

Move as fast as thunder!

Although Kakashi reacted quickly, crossing his arms in front of his chest to block, he was still kicked away heavily by Jiraiya.

With a loud "boom".

Kakashi was directly embedded into the wall.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Naruto looked at Jiraiya.

"Uncle with white hair, what's that explosion sound outside?"

Jiraiya chuckled and said, "The water pipe burst, so you can continue eating instant noodles."

"Then I need to stock up on some water!"

Looking at Naruto, who was young but very sensible, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel sad!

Just as he was about to leave, a "bang" sound rang out.

Jiraiya vanished into thin air...

Chapter 74 Obito Reappears (4000-word chapter, please subscribe)

A dizzying sensation struck him, and Jiraiya fell heavily to the ground.

He scratched his snow-white hair, feeling puzzled. What had happened?

Jiraiya looked up and found himself in a peculiar area. The air was filled with a faint, refreshing scent, and toads were everywhere.

"Little Jiraiya, you've finally arrived." An elderly little frog with snow-white hair and eyebrows appeared to Jiraiya's left. It was wearing a black turtleneck and had an indifferent expression.

Its name is Fukasaku the Immortal, and it is the Great Toad Immortal's trusted confidant.

"Lord Fukasaku, did you summon me here by reverse summoning? I'm very busy every day. I just found some inspiration, and I was planning to write a book." Jiraiya scratched his hair, speaking with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Little Jiraiya, it's been a long time! Now that you've come to Mount Myōboku, I'll cook you a big meal!" said another female toad next to Fukasaku, her voice filled with delight.

It has dark purple hair and even its lips are purple. It is also wearing a high-necked dress and carrying a vegetable basket in its hand, which is filled with large, plump insects of various colors.

"Lord Shima, let's forget about it. I'll definitely do it next time." Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.

Jiraiya once had the privilege of tasting Shima's grand meal.

The result was diarrhea for three days.

"Are you looking down on my cooking skills?!" Seeing that Jiraiya refused, Shima Sage kicked the huge rock weighing more than a ton away and asked angrily.

Jiraiya immediately fell silent.

"Alright, honey, the Great Toad Sage also has something to discuss with Jiraiya, don't waste time." After Fukasaku reminded him, Shima could only let out an angry "humph."

"So it was the Great Toad Sage who was looking for me!" Jiraiya thought to himself.

Following the wide road.

Jiraiya and the two toad sages walked towards the palace ahead.

"Hey, isn't that Jiraiya?" Not far away, there was a huge toad as big as a hill. He was dressed in deep red, with a pipe in his mouth and a short knife at his waist, basking in the sun very comfortably.

"Bunta, long time no see!" Jiraiya greeted the toad boss with a smile.

Beside Bunta were two large toads, Hama Ken and Hama Hiro.

Follow the immortal master.

The man and the two toads arrived at a magnificent palace.

A huge toad sat above, its eyes downcast and its gaze lazy. Only when Jiraiya entered did its eyes gradually brighten.

Gamamaru, also known as the Great Toad Sage, has lived for over a thousand years and is a figure from the same era as the Sage of Six Paths.

Looking up at the enormous creature above, Jiraiya respectfully asked a question.

"Great Toad Sage, may I ask why you summoned me?"

Gamamaru is the pillar of Mount Myōboku, and has a very high seniority, so Jiraiya treated him with great respect.

Here, he is a junior.

The identities of the legendary Sannin of Konoha are not worth mentioning at all.

“Little Jiraiya.” Gamamaru spoke, his voice weak and drawn out, “In my dream I met a child of the ninja world. He wants to destroy all the order in the ninja world and rebuild it.”

"Jiraiya, the son of the ninja world may pose a threat to the ninja world. Before he grows up, I need you to find him, change his mind, and maintain peace in the ninja world."

Jiraiya frowned.

The chosen one has not yet been found.

Another chosen one of the ninja world has appeared!

He'll work himself to death.

Where would I find the time to write novels?

However, Jiraiya did not refuse. He knew this was his sacred mission and asked, "Great Toad Sage, what are his characteristics? You can't expect me to search aimlessly."

After thinking for a long time, Gamamaru slowly said, "He...he's very handsome."

"Huh? No, Great Toad Sage, you're a toad, so you should look at aesthetics from a toad's perspective. What do you mean by 'he's handsome'?"

Jiraiya spoke indignantly.

“I can think of the same problems you can think of, and I can think of them even more thoroughly than you. I’m looking at it from your human aesthetic perspective.” Gamamaru spoke slowly, his tone as deliberate as ever.

It continued to open its mouth.

"For example, in my eyes, little Jiraiya, you are extremely ugly!"

He was rendered speechless by what the toad pill said.

Jiraiya thought to himself, "This giant toad really holds a grudge."

After giving Jiraiya a piece of his mind, Gamamaru continued:
