One cut that can't go back

"I won't fight anymore. I already understand your abilities." Jiraiya shouted at Naruto.

"You're not fighting anymore? I still want to see Jiraiya and Sensei's Ninjutsu." Naruto felt a bit regretful.

"Your Kekkei Genkai... is not bad. No matter if it is your Taijutsu, Kidō is not someone ordinary Chunin can resist, but you can't be arrogant because of this." Jiraiya organized his words. "But I can feel that you are too nervous. The tension here is your muscle state."

"Training is important, but the most important thing is to combine work and rest. Today, I will not train. I will take you to an extremely important cultivation." Jiraiya hooked his fingers at Naruto with a mysterious expression.

Jiraiya brought Naruto to a bustling street that seemed to have never been seen before. As they walked, they told Naruto about what they had seen and heard over the years.

There were strange Kekkei Genkai, as well as some strange and wonderful things.

Of course, he concealed the journey of "People in Naruto, drifting to the point of losing contact".

After all, Naruto was only 12 years old, and he was still growing. If he became obsessed with handicrafts at this time, it would easily affect his future development.

Although manual work is fun, it consumes too much of the body. Jiraiya understands the pros and cons, so he will not help Naruto become an "adult".

Jiraiya wanted Naruto to personally experience the prosperity of Konoha and try to tie him down.

In his opinion, the current Naruto was too mature and calm.

Sometimes, people also need a little innocence.

Although Jiraiya also knows that for Naruto who had a dark childhood, the word innocence is very ironic

Walking on the bustling street and feeling the crowded people, Naruto still maintained an elegant smile, but there was a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

People sometimes stopped shopping, sometimes bought snacks, and walked while eating.

The villagers had a relaxed and happy smiles on their faces as if they did not have any worries.

Only then did Naruto realize.

It turned out that Konoha was so prosperous.

However, this prosperity was not open to him.

"Hey, Naruto, come, eat this!" Jiraiya's loud voice interrupted Naruto's thoughts. He looked up and saw Jiraiya giving him an ice cream.

"You haven't eaten this before, right? I haven't eaten it for ten years. Hurry up and eat it." Jiraiya chuckled.

Naruto took the ice cream, his eyes calm.

In the past, he had also looked forward to tasting this kind of snack and watching other children enjoy the refreshing summer.

Ice cream was undoubtedly an extravagant hope for him.

Naruto took a shallow sip.

It was cold and sweet.

But.

Some things, once one passed that age, would no longer have the taste of fantasy.

"Why aren't you eating? Isn't it delicious?" Jiraiya finished the cylinder in two bites and looked at the ice cream in Naruto's hand.

"Here, eat it." Naruto generously stuffed the ice cream into Jiraiya's hand.

"Uh, actually, I don't like it that much. It's just that I haven't eaten it for too long." Jiraiya explained in embarrassment, but his movements were quite swift.

Naruto calmly looked at all of this, his heart completely calm, and he even wanted to sleep.

He understood.

Jiraiya was trying to make up for his missing childhood.

But he had no feelings about it.

He even wanted to laugh.

"Try this again. This is delicious."

"This is also very fun." Jiraiya's cheerful voice sounded in his ear. Looking at this old child who was almost half a hundred years old presenting a treasure and introducing all kinds of food and toys, Naruto's thoughts drifted further and further away.

At that time, he longed for love, and expected to be loved.

In the face of the malicious reality, he was beaten again and again.

If he had not accepted Mr. Aizen's teachings, perhaps he would be grateful to tears now.

He regarded Jiraiya as the most important person in his life.

However, in the present Konoha, it was difficult for people to approach his heart.

He had already chosen a path that was destined to be lonely.

Naruto retracted his thoughts. For some reason, he felt a little sad and relieved.

In the end, he and Konoha will part ways.

"Jiraiya Sensei, let's go. I don't like this place very much." He whispered.

"Eh? Oh." Jiraiya was stunned for a moment and replied foolishly.

The two of them left the bustling street. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a long time, they unknowingly arrived at the door of Naruto's house.

"Jiraiya Sensei, I'm going back to rest. I won't go shopping with you." Naruto still had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke warmly.

Jiraiya could also feel such a trace of alienation, so he could only scratch his head foolishly: "I will teach you some good ninjutsu tomorrow, so you can take a good rest today.

"Alright, Jiraiya Sensei. See you tomorrow."

Seeing Naruto close the door, Jiraiya felt a little bitterness in his heart.

Some people, if they came late, it would be difficult to get rid of the fetters.

"Sigh." He sighed. For a moment, he did not know where to go, and could only wander.

Unknowingly, he had arrived near the bathhouse.

Even though he was walking aimlessly, the DNA in his heart still led Jiraiya to where he belonged.

"Hehehe, I wonder if the bathhouse in Konoha is still so unforgettable." Jiraiya suddenly revealed a wretched smile.

He used Ninjutsu to sneak into Konoha's bathhouse and easily went to the high-level male bath closest to the female bath.

There was no one inside.

"Hehehe" Jiraiya could not help but let out a wretched and excited laugh again.

...

Besides the waterfall, Kakashi was holding his shoulder with a serious face.

At this moment, Sasuke was bathed in thunder, his hair standing up, and his expression was a little sad.

His right hand rang with the sound of thousands of birds screeching.

This was the first time that Sasuke had changed Chidori's advancement.

Through Raiton stimulating the cells in his body, he could improve the attributes of his entire side.

However, this kind of Ninjutsu was extremely dangerous, and if he was not careful, he could be injured.

And now, Sasuke was showing Kakashi the results of his cultivation.

"Chidori!" With a roar, Sasuke directed his right hand into a rock that was as tall as an adult.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A vast amount of lightning energy gathered from all over Sasuke's body into the right palm, shining with a terrifying amount of energy and light.

The sharp Chidori pierced through the giant rock like he was cutting tofu. With a crackling sound, an even more deafening explosion sounded.

For a moment, the air was filled with dust, the electric current was moving, and the grass under his feet was filled with a burnt smell.

And the boulder was almost completely crushed into powder.

Sasuke was breathing heavily, and his forehead was covered with dense sweat.

"You did a good job, Sasuke." Kakashi praised.

To be able to develop Chidori to the next level at this age, Sasuke was worthy of Uchiha's name.

However, Sasuke was still not satisfied.

"This kind of power is not enough. My control over lightning Chakra is far from enough. Chidori, this Ninjutsu has a very high potential. I can continue to develop it."

"But I do not have the terrifying recovery and physical strength like Naruto. Now my body is close to the critical point."
