63 Chapter 63

My bad my bad, took longer than I thought to prepare the chapters. As I said before I'll upload around 5 chapters a day for 10 or so days as apology for leaving for so long.

Ps. I've started writing a novel of my own "Attribute Panel In The Apocalypse" The Mc is rational evil just like how we like it and while the chapters are low right now it will be helpful if you could add it to your library!

(WPC Entry!)

Thank you!

Enjoy.

"Hu——"

"I almost died, it was really dangerous."

Seeing Naruto's foolish and cute expression, he came back again.

Jiraiya, covered in blood, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't handle half of the complete Nine-Tails' power, so it was fortunate that he could leave with his whole body intact.

Gama-san, the huge toad beside him, looked at the injured Jiraiya and lowered his head sadly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"It's not your fault. I reacted too slowly."

Jiraiya weakly waved his hand and continued, "Thanks for this time. You should go back first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge Gama-san disappeared without a trace.

"Ah!"

"What's wrong, you pervert?"

"Did you get caught peeping and beaten up? Hahaha!"

Naruto saw Jiraiya's pitiful state as well.

But for the first time ever, he didn't go forward to express concern; instead, he laughed unusually happily.

He looked like the kind of perverted and dull pervert who deserved to be beaten up.

Beside him, Sakura, with a flushed face, and Sasuke, with an unnatural expression, also came to Naruto's side.

Just as Naruto recovered, Sasuke also recovered.

So Sakura went from hugging the toad to hugging Sasuke.

In any case, the scene became somewhat awkward for a while.

To break the awkwardness, Sakura, with a joyful expression on her face, took the initiative to shift the topic to Naruto.

"This pervert didn't get caught and beaten up by someone. After he laid his hands on both of you, Kaze appeared and beat him half to death!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke also sneered, "He deserves it. I warned this disgusting pervert."

Jiraiya: "..."

One moment he was called a pervert, the next moment he was called deserving.

Jiraiya felt like his reputation in this world was completely ruined!

He shouldn't have made the same mistake again and went to peep on someone!

"I already said I'm not a pervert, and I didn't have any ill intentions. I'm truly the old man appointed by the Third Hokage as Naruto's teacher."

As if afraid that they wouldn't believe him, Jiraiya took out the Icha Icha Paradise book and the letters exchanged with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I was just gathering material for my art, seeking inspiration to defeat my artistic nemesis who has been suppressing me lately."

"And these letters are all personally written by the Third Hokage to me."

Jiraiya quickly came back and actively took Naruto as his disciple.

It was because Monkey King Enma mentioned Naruto's alter ego, who possessed the power of the Nine-Tails.

Now he was certain that he had come to the right person!

Such strong power could completely overturn the ninja world's situation, bringing about long-lasting peace or destruction.

Moreover, Naruto's name might be the prophesied child he had been searching for right in front of him!

And the situation also matched perfectly!

Kind-hearted Naruto would definitely bring peace with this power.

And violent Kaze would definitely subvert the ninja world with this power!

Wasn't this the great change that the Great Toad Sage mentioned!

Ahead.

The three of them looked at the things Jiraiya took out and all their gazes focused on Icha Icha Paradise.

Then they turned to each other and exchanged looks.

"Naruto, he's the author of Icha Icha Paradise!"

"And that artistic nemesis who was suppressing him, could it be Kaze?"

Sakura voiced her speculation, and Sasuke nodded slightly.

"Kaze... Uzumaki Kaze... Uzumaki Kazekyo!?"

Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Jiraiya, after repeating the names Naruto and Kaze a few times, exclaimed in surprise.

After swallowing a gulp of saliva, he cautiously asked, "So, that Kaze, could he be the creator of "Young Ah Ming"?"

Jiraiya's question hung in the air, waiting for a response from the others.

"That's right, it was written by Kaze!" Naruto proudly confirmed.

"Are the stories in there all based on your personal experiences?" Jiraiya's face twisted more and more as he spoke. His initial joy of finding the prophesied child turned into jealousy.

"How is that possible? I'm just a kid!"

Naruto scowled, wearing an expression as if to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Hahaha! That's good, that's good!" Jiraiya's expression relaxed, and he laughed.

It was a relief that it wasn't true; otherwise, he would lose all sense of immersion in his own writing!

Seeing how happy Jiraiya was after realizing that it wasn't based on his experiences,

Naruto's anger flared up. He pointed at Jiraiya angrily and shouted, "You wrote about perverted things just like Kaze did! And you said you're not a pervert!"

Understanding Jiraiya's ability to write so well, Naruto believed it had a lot to do with him frequently sneaking into the women's bathhouse.

And now, seeing Jiraiya's good writing skills, it was clear he had been a long-time peeping tom just like him.

"Only kids my age can be seen as playing pranks!"

"But you, at your age, peeping is a crime!"

"I'm going to expose your misdeeds to everyone!"

"No, please! We're all artists. Let's not go too far," Jiraiya pleaded, coughing up blood.

He had previously used his chakra to temporarily stop the bleeding, but now the wound reopened, and blood began to flow again.

Just when Jiraiya was at a loss for what to do, the ANBU ninjas, who had been slow to arrive, finally reached the scene.

"Lord Jiraiya?!"

"So, you were fighting that guy!"

The masked ANBU ninja who had led Naruto and the others to the examination site quickly approached Jiraiya and signaled to the back.

"Quick, someone come and heal Lord Jiraiya's injuries and stop the bleeding!"

A medical ninja proficient in medical ninjutsu swiftly stepped forward, their palm emitting a green chakra for the Healing Palm technique.

"I appreciate it."

Jiraiya showed a kind smile and thanked them. Then he pointed towards Naruto and the others on the side and said, "Explain to them, they don't believe me."

"Who would believe you, you perverted old man!" Naruto glared at Jiraiya in anger.

Sasuke and Sakura nodded in agreement, their faces filled with disdain.

The ANBU ninja, known as "Elephant," felt somewhat speechless. He had already guessed what Jiraiya had done.

While inwardly cheering for the person who had beaten up by Kaze, Elephant obediently started explaining.

"Naruto Uzumaki, it is true that Jiraiya-sama is the teacher recommended by the Hokage, who can help you control the power of the Nine-Tails."

With Elephant's praise and the spread of Jiraiya's past accomplishments, the three of them finally began to change their perspective.

"This Perverted Sage is actually so amazing!"

Upon hearing that he could help them master the power of the Nine-Tails, Naruto's address for Jiraiya changed from "pervert" to "Perverted Sage."

Jiraiya nodded proudly. "That's only natural!"

"Later, come with me. During lunchtime, I'll assess your situation."

Seeing this, Sasuke hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.

"Sage of the Toads, please guide me in my training as well.

"You don't need to put too much effort into it, just give me some guidance," Sasuke said.

Jiraiya looked at Sasuke, examining him, and then shook his head. "I don't understand much about the Uchiha's Sharingan. It's better for you to find Kakashi."

Jiraiya was only interested in taking on disciples related to the prophesied child. He had no interest in unrelated individuals.

After saying that, without waiting for the ANBU ninjas to continue treating him, Jiraiya directly pulled Naruto along and left the area.

As Naruto's figure disappeared into the distance, Sasuke clenched his fist tightly, a hint of jealousy and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Then, with a dark expression, he quickly left without saying a word.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura was taken aback by the sudden change. Feeling a bit helpless, she whispered, "What's going on?"
