62 Chapter 62
"Sage?"
"Naruto's future teacher?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked skeptical.
They even quietly stepped back, wanting to keep their distance from this suspicious guy.
Once they leave this place, they'll find people from the ANBU to capture this weirdo!
"Don't you believe me?"
"I never thought the legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage, would be unknown to a few brats!"
Jiraiya looked a bit melancholic as he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shook his head helplessly.
"Never mind, let me show you what I can do!"
With that, Jiraiya appeared instantly in front of Naruto and Sasuke.
Before the two could react, Jiraiya placed one hand on each of their foreheads.
"Ninjutsu, Frog Transformation!"
Bam!
"Ribbit—"
"Sasuke turned into a frog!" Sakura exclaimed from behind.
Then she looked at Naruto, who didn't change. "But Naruto didn't transform!"
Jiraiya, in front of them, also looked curiously at Naruto.
But Naruto raised his head, revealing a completely different cold expression from before.
"It's Kaze!"
Sakura now understood why Naruto didn't fall for it.
Then she quickly shouted, "Kaze, save Sasuke! He's been turned into a frog by this pervert!"
"I-I'm not a pervert! I was just, just gathering information! Yeah, gathering information!"
Jiraiya immediately refuted being called a pervert by Sakura.
Then he nervously looked around to see if there were any unfamiliar people before sighing in relief and looking back at Kaze in front of him.
"So, you're the alter ego of Naruto mentioned in the old man's letter?"
"You don't really resemble him in terms of personality and demeanor. The main personality is more like him."
Swoosh!
Jiraiya's words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of a fox tail.
He quickly retracted his arms, leaped five meters away, narrowly avoiding the tail's slash.
"Nine-Tails Chakra!"
"To think you've completely mastered it without any signs of going berserk!"
Jiraiya's face was filled with curiosity, and his gaze towards Kaze carried some contemplation.
Crack!
Kaze pressed his right thumb against his index finger, his tone menacing.
"Oh? Why do you insist that I'm the alter ego and not Naruto?"
Because Naruto had his thoughts sealed away and turned into a frog.
Although the uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling didn't reach Kaze, it made him very displeased.
And when he's displeased, he becomes irritable, wanting to vent, wanting to kill!
"There's a possibility, but I haven't heard of an alter ego having full control. Are you an exception?"
Looking at Jiraiya's half-smiling expression, Kaze swept his tail, which was behind him, towards the frog Sasuke at his feet.
"Ribbit~"
After a croak from frog Sasuke, he turned into an arc and fell into the distant bushes.
At the side, Sakura understood that a fight was about to break out.
She quickly followed and ran into the bushes, picking up the dazed frog Sasuke.
On the field.
Once the obstacles were gone.
Kaze's figure disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Jiraiya.
At the same time, he squatted down abruptly, his waist and calves exerting force simultaneously.
He swung out a low kick with a sonic boom, then spiraled upwards, delivering a high kick with the other leg.
"Behind!" Jiraiya restrained his smile, swiftly turning around.
"So this is that Windstorm? I never expected you to learn Taijutsu from Guy!"
As he spoke, Jiraiya stomped his foot confidently and leaped into the air, performing a mid-air flip.
He let his long hair loose, thrusting his head forward towards Kaze.
"Ninjutsu, Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
The scattered white hair instantly extended like tentacles.
In the blink of an eye.
These elongated white strands of hair wrapped around Kaze's limbs, much like snakes entangling their prey, tightly restraining him.
As soon as he landed, Jiraiya slammed his hands on the ground, completing the seals.
"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!"
The ground beneath Kaze's feet, bound by the strands of hair, transformed into a swampy terrain.
Instantly, it bound his feet and swallowed him halfway.
After this response that took less than three seconds, Jiraiya spoke confidently, ready to give a lesson.
"You shouldn't treat your teacher so violently, or else you'll get a spanking, aahh!"
Before Jiraiya could finish his confident words, he shouted in pain and quickly severed the extended hair.
In front of him, Kaze, who was restrained, sneered.
Then, a golden-red chakra instantly covered his entire body, like a blazing fire in the sky.
The fox tail behind him transformed from one into nine in the blink of an eye!
The sky was obscured, and a large swath of gloom descended.
"Just testing out some Taijutsu techniques on you."
As he spoke, all the white strands of hair on Kaze's body turned into ashes.
The swamp beneath his feet instantly dried up like fired clay!
The next second.
Buzz!
A loud buzzing sound echoed throughout the surroundings.
Kaze's figure disappeared once again.
Only a spreading sonic boom cloud remained in the spot where he stood!
The ground beneath him, stomped by Kaze, cracked and collapsed, forming a massive sinkhole!
"He actually has nine tails!"
"And his speed and power are simply inhuman!"
As Jiraiya's thoughts began to form in his mind, his body hadn't had a chance to react.
A tremendous force emanated from his abdomen, propelling him into the air!
Soon, he heard Kaze's voice from below.
"So, what qualification do you have to lecture me when you were injured by a four-tailed beast?"
Crack!
Kaze looked up from below, pressing his thumb against his ring finger.
The golden-red fox tails behind him stood erect, all of them, ready to strike at the levitating Jiraiya.
"Too fast!"
As he gazed at Kaze below, who bloomed like a fiery lotus, Jiraiya couldn't believe his eyes.
A terrifying sense of impending death frantically warned him in his heart.
This wasn't just a student waiting to be taught; this was clearly a tailed beast in human form!
It seemed that after using the Transformation Technique to seal Naruto's thoughts, Kaze, the alternate personality, took control of the body, preventing it from turning into a frog!
And Jiraiya had been too arrogant in their previous battle!
If he had taken it more seriously, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation after just a few moves!
Regretting his actions, Jiraiya didn't have time to respond. The fox tails below had already gathered their power and were ready to be unleashed.
Like a gorgeous lotus blooming in a magma, it blossomed freely towards the sky!
Accompanied by the falling drops of blood, a deafening explosion with smoke emerged.
Crack!
Boom!
As the smoke dissipated, a gigantic toad held a bowl-shaped shield, firmly blocking the blood-streaked fox tails.
Then, weakly, Jiraiya's voice finally came out, belatedly.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
"Toad Transformation, Release!"
At the same time.
Kaze's expression changed, and a tremendous pulling force appeared.
After a moment, the fox tails dissipated, and the golden-red flames on his body disappeared along with them.
Naruto, with a clear yet foolish expression, looked around.
"Huh?"
"Wasn't I transformed into a toad?"
