At this moment, inside [Miaomu Mountain].
"The Art of Clone!"
The seven-and-a-half-year-old Naruto formed seals with his hands, holding back his strength, and suddenly used the clone technique.
The next moment, white mist exploded.
Next to him, an identical little Naruto suddenly appeared.
Looking at the complete clone next to him.
Naruto couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He immediately shouted excitedly towards Jiraiya, who was flipping through the H book not far away.
"Licious immortal, look, look!"
"I succeeded!"
"I successfully cast a clone!"
Jiraiya closed the book, glanced at Naruto and his clones, and nodded slightly.
He only replied dryly:
"It's okay, let's continue practicing!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately shouted:
"Well! Don't be so perfunctory, this is the art of clones!"
"Didn't you say that this is one of the 'Three Body Techniques' that is the standard test for genin graduation?"
"I've learned it now, isn't it awesome?"
Jiraiya: "It's just so-so."
"There are many people who are better than you."
"One of the Yondaime's apprentices, a record of the ninja academy. He graduated from the ninja academy at the age of 5 and passed the exam to become a chuunin at the age of 6."
"In short, I learned the Three Body Art at the age of five. What else do you have to be proud of?"
"Others, there are quite a few who graduated as genin at the age of 6 or 7."
"If you want to aspire to be Hokage, you can't be complacent just because of a little success!"
Jiraiya said with a rare strike.
It wasn't to dampen Naruto's enthusiasm, but to stop him from being too proud.
"Ah! Is there such a powerful person?"
"No, I must become stronger!"
"In the future, I want to become a ninja as powerful as the first generation uncle and the second generation uncle Yanyan."
"Get everyone's approval and become Hokage!"
Naruto clenched his fists, and his heart burst with infinite enthusiasm again.
Practice started immediately again.
And looked at Naruto continuing to practice hard.
Jiraiya also showed a bit of a smile and couldn't help but murmured:
"It's better to be young!"
"This kid looks more and more like the fourth generation..."
Although Jiraiya deliberately provoked Naruto.
But in all fairness.
It is indeed rare for someone to learn the art of clone at this age.
Naruto, this boy's talent in the clone field is truly astonishing.
Just like Minato's outstanding talents in reflex nerves and space-time ninjutsu.
However, in other ninjutsu.
Naruto seemed to be struggling.
For example, I have learned the art of transformation and substituting for two or three months, but I still haven’t made much progress...
He is really a scientific ninja!
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being partial to subjects.
As long as you can reach the top.
Even if you are partial to science, you can still become an outstanding ninja.
"Let's go back and teach him other types of ninjutsu to see which direction he is suitable for..."
As for the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique], which is listed as a forbidden technique, that is not within the reach of Naruto now.
Unless Naruto, this kid, really has unparalleled talent in the clone technique.
Otherwise, Jiraiya would not teach him any forbidden techniques rashly...
…
"Luxury Immortal, do you know why the Uchiha and the others defected?"
Naruto, who was training, suddenly stopped and asked Jiraiya.
"Huh? Why do you pay attention to them?"
"Because everyone in the village is saying: It's the fault of the third generation grandfather. He forced the Uchiha clan away and brought disaster to the village!"
"Who said that?"
"I, I don't know, I accidentally heard it when we were eating noodles last time..."
Naruto winced.
I didn't expect Jiraiya's reaction to be so violent.
He just heard these rumors and felt psychologically uncomfortable, so he asked specifically.
After all, in Naruto's eyes.
The third-generation grandfather was the only good person willing to help him when he was a child...
"Why!"
“Everyone’s position and perspective is different.”
"The old man did do some wrong things; but he also sacrificed his life for the village. He shouldn't be criticized so much!"
"These people are getting more and more stupid!"
"Anyway, Naruto, this is not something you should care about..."
Jiraiya sighed, not knowing what to say.
People!
Always like to blame others for their mistakes, especially dead people...
When the third generation was in power, those villagers did not dare to gossip like this!
Naruto was anxious:
"But, they also said that whoever can bring back or get rid of the Uchiha clan will definitely become the new Hokage!"
Jiraiya suddenly became anxious and shouted directly:
"Don't even think about it!"
"Naruto, from today on, you must remember this."
"If you encounter any Uchiha, run away immediately! Don't hesitate at all!"
"If you can't run away, call for help immediately!"
"Don't even think about fighting them or trying to subdue the Uchiha ninjas!"
"Especially, an Uchiha ninja who is only three or four years older than you!"
Jiraiya's roar frightened Naruto into confusion.
He really didn't know why the lustful immortal was so excited.
Only Jiraiya himself understands.
The Uchiha clan, the old and the young, who are known as demonic, have such terrifying strength!
That was enough power to easily destroy the entire Konoha!
If Naruto were to meet him, he would definitely die!
It's just a dream to try to subdue the Uchiha clan...
Even Nagato, who he once regarded as the 'son of prophecy'.
In the face of such strength, they all become vulnerable...
Especially that brat Uchiha Natsume.
Just 11 years old is already so scary.
It simply subverted the perception of the entire ninja world.
The word 'pervert' can no longer be used to describe the other party!
Therefore, upon hearing that Naruto actually put his thoughts on the Uchiha clan.
Of course, Jiraiya was extremely excited and quickly stopped Naruto's idea with a sharp voice...
"I, I understand!"
Naruto didn't know why, but he nodded in assurance.
He still obeyed Jiraiya's words.
After all, after spending this time together, he had regarded Jiraiya as his truly respected elder.
"Just remember."
"That's definitely not something you should consider!"
"Let the first and second generation adults deal with these problems."
"With them here, the village will be safe and sound!"
Jiraiya strode forward, stroked Naruto's head, and comforted him in a deep voice.
"Yes! The first-generation uncle and the second-generation uncle Yanyan are both so awesome!"
"Uncle Iwayan the second generation also said that he would teach me super powerful ninjutsu in the future!"
Naruto agreed excitedly, full of expectations for the future.
Jiraiya nodded similarly.
In his opinion, there was really nothing that could stop these two adults.
Konoha, thanks to them!
…
But, right now.
"Quack!"
Two frogs croaked, and a toad suddenly jumped to Jiraiya's side.
"Jiraiya-sama, there is an emergency!"
Contact Frog shouted loudly, and immediately spit out a scroll and handed it to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya unzipped the scroll and read it immediately.
A moment.
His expression changed involuntarily, and his brows furrowed.
"Lovable Immortal, what happened?"
"[Earth Kingdom] has officially declared war on [Wind Kingdom]! The ninjas of [Iwagakure Village] and [Sand Hidden Village] have rushed to the border, preparing for war..."
"Ah? Didn't you say that their two families have formed an alliance with our village?"
Naruto looked confused.
"Yes! It is precisely because of the alliance that we [Konoha Village] were also dragged into the water..."
Jiraiya responded with a sad look on his face, feeling equally confused.
…
