Chapter 451 - 136

Chapter 136: JiraiyaThe final round of the Chunin Exams will take place in ten days. According to Naruto's plan, after the exams, the entire Land of Fire will be completely under his control. This is undoubtedly a groundbreaking step.To ensure the plan goes smoothly, he decided to improve Gaara's strength within these ten days. After all, although Sasuke's Sage Chakra has not yet reached perfection, he has made significant progress after a long period of cultivation.Even though Gaara is already approaching the status of a perfect Jinchuriki, Naruto does not want any accidents to happen.Therefore, every night, he uses the Flying Thunder God to secretly come to Gaara's room and summons Xiaobao to teach him Sage Chakra.It is certainly impossible to fully master it in ten days, but fortunately, Gaara can initially use Sage Chakra.Naruto also instructed him not to use it easily unless necessary, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if Sasuke discovers it.Taking advantage of these ten days, Kakashi also took Sasuke along, claiming to give him some special training. To appease Naruto's emotions, Kakashi specially introduced Ebisu to him, and at this moment, Naruto also knew that he was about to reunite with Jiraiya.Come to think of it, there hasn't been much interaction between Ebisu and Naruto. He is just an ordinary Jonin, and like others, he has always kept a certain distance from Naruto because of the Nine-Tailed.He doesn't know Naruto's current strength and thinks Naruto is just a brat who has achieved some decent strength by relying on hard work.According to his many years of teaching experience, such a brat usually isn't very good at using Chakra, so he decided to start from this aspect and just brush Naruto off.Naruto harbors the same thoughts. In order not to let down Kakashi's good intentions, he can only hold his nose and casually practice with Ebisu.Sure enough, as he expected, Ebisu chose the hot spring as the first training location. This is the place that made Naruto more excited because he could finally reunite with Jiraiya.Counting it up, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years. In Naruto's heart, he is the only one who can truly be considered family.Bits and pieces of memories gradually formed in his mind. Although Jiraiya didn't have much experience and often messed things up when taking care of him, during that time, only Jiraiyawas the one who was genuinely good to him. Naruto could feel Jiraiya's efforts and intentions from the bottom of his heart.Just as Naruto was immersed in his thoughts, Ebisu's impatient voice interrupted him, "Hey! Brat, what are you dazing off for there? Do you know that this is very disrespectful? You had better cooperate with my teaching properly. You should know that not everyone has such an opportunity. I am the exclusive teacher for the Third Hokage's grandson. If it weren't for Kakashi asking me for help, I guess you wouldn't be able to get my guidance in this lifetime."Naruto raised his head to look at Ebisu's smug, arrogant, and conceited face, then chuckled, with three parts mockery and seven parts indifference.Such a look full of disdain naturally caused Ebisu's displeasure again. He was just about to speak up to sternly reprimand this brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.Who knew that Naruto suddenly said, "Teacher, what did you bring me here for? You aren't trying to secretly watch people take a bath, are you?"Hearing this, Ebisu clenched his fists and said to Naruto, "How is that possible! Am I that kind of person? I am known as the protector of flowers. Not only would I not do such things, but I am the embodiment of justice. Whenever I discover anyone doing such shameful things, I will definitely strike without mercy."Who would have thought that just as his voice fell, an abnormality occurred on the scene. A person with white hair was secretly watching the situation in the women's bath there.This person was naturally Jiraiya. But clearly, when the two of them first arrived, there was definitely no one here. Not only did Ebisu not know when this person came, but even Naruto hadn't discovered him.You must know that his Sage Chakra has already reached perfection, and his Observation Haki has also been cultivated quite well. Although Jiraiyawould certainly not have any malice towards him, Naruto's current perception ability is still super strong. But even so, he still hadn't discovered Jiraiya's whereabouts, which gave him a new judgment of Jiraiya's strength.But Ebisu didn't think about these things. You must know that he had just boasted that he would fight against this kind of unhealthy trend to the end. But now, such a person appeared right in front of him. Isn't this slapping his face? Does my dignified exclusive teacher of the Third Hokage's grandson not need face?Therefore, Ebisu turned around, without checking the opponent's strength first, and roared directly, "You lecherous thief, it's really your bad luck. To think you would do such a shameful thing in front of me. Today, be prepared for the consequences!"He said this righteously while rushing forward, then jumped up high, wanting to end the opponent with one kick.Ebisu's shouting naturally attracted Jiraiya's attention. After seeing this scene, he first sighed, knowing that this trip for material would probably end unfulfilled like this.Soon, he felt a surge of anger again. The kid in front of him was really too ignorant, actually ruining such a good opportunity, and completely disrupting his inspiration.Jiraiya decided to teach him a lesson. Thus, in the blink of an eye, a big toad suddenly appeared, then stuck out a big tongue, and sent him flying with a flick.Ebisu was not a match for him to begin with, and now, coupled with the lack of defensive mindset due to carelessness, a dignified Jonin of Konoha Village was defeated cleanly in a single encounter.He was sent flying high, and when he landed on the ground, he had already lost consciousness. Seeing this scene, Naruto also breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally got rid of this trouble!"Jiraiya must have noticed Naruto at this time. In fact, the purpose of his return this time was to see how Naruto was doing. But in his heart, Jiraiya had already planned not to recognize Naruto directly, but to take this opportunity to teach him some Ninjutsu first.But just after he finished thinking this, Narutosuddenly said, "Pervy Sage, are you finally willing to come back to see me? I missed you so much
