Chapter 66: Akatsuki Secret Meeting  

Speaking of Akatsuki, Jiraiya's face turned ugly. He had been paying attention to Akatsuki over the years, and he found that the leader of Akatsuki was actually his own disciple.

"Tsunade, don't underestimate Akatsuki. They definitely have the power to subvert the ninja world. The leader is codenamed Pain, who has the legendary Rinnegan. All the members are powerful ninjas, and even Orochimaru was once one of them."

The moment he said this, Tsunade's pupils dilated. "Orochimaru? How could he be related to Akatsuki?"

"I don't know. Anyway, the main members are all Kage-level. If they all move out, no ninja village can escape."

It's no wonder Jiraiya was worried. The power of Akatsuki was far beyond his expectations.

"Jiraiya, if what you said is true, then we must take this matter seriously." Tsunade knew that Jiraiya was not the kind of person who liked to make groundless accusations.

The fact that he was so worried showed how terrible the Akatsuki organization was.

"Hahaha, I just said it casually. Don't worry too much about it." Jiraiya laughed and walked outside. Naruto quickly followed.

"Perverted Sage, you're leaving now? Why don't you chat for a while?" Naruto asked curiously.

Jiraiya seemed very free and easy. "Excessive disturbances will be criticized, Naruto. Do you know why Sakura likes Sasuke? That's because Sasuke doesn't care about her. Women are strange creatures. The less you care about them, the more they like you."

Naruto ruthlessly exposed Jiraiya's words, "Don't girls like handsome guys? Perverted Sage, don't think you can fool me. Perverted Sage, don't be sad. Although you are ugly, you can be friends with Tsunade forever!"

It hurts my heart, especially when these words come from my own disciple. Jiraiya pressed Naruto's head in a rage, his face livid.

"Naruto, do you still want to learn Sage Mode? Do you still want to surpass Sasuke?"

"Damn it, you promised me long ago, and now you're threatening me with it? That's too low," Naruto complained. In order to please the Sage, he emptied his pockets to buy him wine.

"Tsk, what's wrong with cheating you? I'm a Sannin, who would believe me cheating my apprentice out of money?" Jiraiya pouted fiercely, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. This made Naruto so angry that he cursed in a hurry, "Perverted Sage, I'm going to swear at you!"

Naruto regretted it as soon as he said it. The veins on Jiraiya's forehead popped out, and he looked at Naruto with ill intentions.

"Okay, Naruto," Jiraiya raised his fist, intending to give Naruto a good beating. The brat actually dared to disrespect his teacher.

"Wait a minute, Jiraiya-sensei, can you please not hit me in the face?" Naruto knew that a vicious attack was inevitable, so he could only settle for the next best thing. If his handsome face was damaged, how could he compete with Sasuke for Sakura in the future?

"That won't do." Jiraiya blew a breath on his fist and punched Naruto in the eye, creating a standard panda eye visible to the naked eye. "It looks awkward; let's do another one on the right."

After the two symmetrical panda eyes were completed, Jiraiya let Naruto go. Fighting or quarreling, Jiraiya still loved Naruto very much. Compared with a master and apprentice, the relationship between the two was more like grandfather and grandson.

"Don't worry, Naruto, it's not that the teacher doesn't want you to learn Sage arts, it's just that the time has not come yet! Sage arts are not easy to practice. If you fail to practice, your life will be in danger." Jiraiya said seriously. Of course, he wanted Naruto to become stronger, but the premise was that it would not endanger Naruto's safety.

"I don't care, you promised me," Naruto said angrily.

"Hahaha, you are so childish," Jiraiya put his big hand on Naruto's head and smiled. "Don't worry, when has the master ever broken his promise to you? How about waiting for another year? I will continue to train you this year, and then I will teach you Sage arts."

"Got it, perverted Sage." After getting a satisfactory answer, Naruto smiled and showed a big white tooth.

The Akatsuki organization that Jiraiya had been thinking about was not peaceful now. Pain used the Illusion Body Technique to convert the chakra of the members of the organization into "thought waves," allowing them to be materialized in a specific place to achieve the effect of communication.

Kakuzu and Hidan arrived first, followed by Deidara and Sasori. When everyone was present, the figure of Kisame appeared. Tendo Pain had a blank expression on his face, and his tone was as cold as ever, "Everyone, I have something to inform you. Uchiha Itachi died in battle."

Everyone was silent, and Deidara, who hated Itachi the most, said, "This annoying guy is finally dead, hahahaha. Illusions are the most boring; only explosions are the real art."

That's what he said, but there was no smile on Deidara's face. No matter how much he hated it, he knew very well the strength of Uchiha Itachi, and he was definitely not his opponent. Such a guy was...

"Always calling it art, it's so annoying," the angry Hidan said sarcastically. "You always show off some ugly clay bombs, idiot."

Hearing Hidan's criticism of his art, Deidara shot back, "Nonsense, your crappy ability is useless without the curse seal, and you have the worst ability."

"Damn, I'll curse you to death, Deidara."

"Come on, I'll definitely blow you up first."
