Chapter 122: Sasuke and the Legend of the Green Snake
The first achievement was brought about by Naruto himself, so there was no doubt about it.
But what about this 'Double Agent' achievement?
Naruto immediately thought of his Shadow Clonewandering outside.

What, did you become Tom Cruise, accepting an impossible mission?
However, there was one suspicious point.
The two achievements came together.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Triggered at the same time?
Naruto thought for a moment but couldn't come up with an answer.
He added the three attribute points he obtained to his defense bonus.
It was currently at 17%.
He felt his skin take on a faint luster, like a piece of jade.
It was pretty good.
He didn't turn into some 'Protein Queen' from a biology book, or like the Hulk.
Where muscles bulge and the entire appearance changes drastically.
Naruto was still satisfied with his face.
It could be considered the second most satisfying part of his body.
As for the first... those who know, know.
Hana Rin's concert series would probably last for a week or two.
Naruto didn't pay much attention; it was Kakashiwho was busy.
But he looked rejuvenated and quite happy.
A week later, Naruto slipped into Hana Rin's room under the cover of night again.
She had already learned the entry-level doctrines.
Naruto couldn't teach the rest.
Actually, that's not right; he could teach it, but he was worried it would deviate from the actual White Lotus Sect doctrines.
It would be hard to explain then.
"Hana Rin, your first phase has been successfully completed. Now we enter the second phase."
Naruto left her with only his back as he gazed at the moon in the sky and said, "Recruit Kakashi into the White Lotus Sect."
"Huh?"
Hana Rin showed a look of surprise.
This is the second phase?
Why does the White Lotus Sect feel a bit off?
"Is there a problem?"
Naruto turned around, looked at her, and said, "If you find it difficult... then create the conditions and do it anyway."
Hana Rin was slightly taken aback by his unconventional words, but she didn't refuse and said, "I guarantee the mission will be completed."
Her words were filled with great confidence.
Naruto was a bit puzzled.
Are you guys progressing that fast?
He looked Hana Rin up and down and suddenly asked, "To what stage have you two progressed?"
"Eh?" Hana Rin's face instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head and stammered.
Naruto was suddenly shocked.
Could it be that you've already...?
He then thought of the 'Double Agent' achievement.
Teacher System, I understand now!
Kakashi is a spy for Konoha.
Hana Rin is a spy for the Lock Village or the White Lotus Sect.
And what does the 'Double' (In-between) represent?
The meaning was self-evident.
A 'traitor' has emerged between us.
So that's what'Spy within a Spy' meant!
Naruto's mouth twitched.
System, who was your language teacher?
Come out and let me see.
Who exactly is this talented?
Naruto left, waving his sleeves and taking the financial reports with him.
In just one short week, they had already recovered twenty million in costs.
Making big money was a certainty.
And this was just from the concert.
Furthermore, it was only in Konoha.
Outside of Konoha, there was an even larger market.
The next day, Naruto saw Jiraiya, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He immediately felt a surge of anger.
"Why did you write my name into your novel?"
"Because you provided the inspiration."
Jiraiya said as if it were only natural, "I'm a man who repays kindness with kindness and grudges with grudges."
"..."
Naruto really wanted to grab him by the collar and ask, is this how you repay kindness?
Look at the fox repaying kindness, or the crane repaying kindness.
This incident made him full of determination; he must complete the active achievement on Jiraiya!
"Why did you suddenly come looking for me today?"
Naruto asked casually while thinking about how to help him quit visiting brothels.
If it weren't for something important, Jiraiya would definitely be out collecting 'material' instead of bothering him.
"To take you out to see the world," Jiraiya said.
"Speak human," Naruto glared at him.
You're writing erotica, not literary novels. What matters is being simple, crude, and getting straight to the point.
"You've stayed in the village for thirteen years, and your strength is sufficient. It's time to go out and see the world."
Jiraiya didn't mention the pressure from Danzo, but he was telling the truth with this sentence.
He was already prepared to let Naruto understand that the title of the Legendary Sannin didn't come from nowhere.
Naruto frowned slightly.
In the original work, there was indeed a three-year training journey with Jiraiya.
But does he need it now?
He had already squeezed Jiraiya dry; there was nothing left for him to teach.
Do you still want to teach me how to visit brothels?
Naruto glanced at him twice.
He looked quite serious.
Is it Danzo?
He thought of this Konoha'Scapegoat King'.
Oh wait, this 'pot' is probably actually his.
Danzo and Root are currently Konoha's internal trouble.
And as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he is the undisputed focus.
No matter who it is, they all want the fox spirit in his belly.
Not to mention the Akatsuki Organization later on.
A dozen or so burly men searching the whole world for his tracks.
"Okay, I'll prepare."
Naruto agreed to Jiraiya's request.
He had wanted to go out and have some fun anyway.
He had been in Konoha for thirteen years. If he stayed any longer, his Shadow Clones might actually unify the Ninja World.
He would have no sense of participation at all.
Plus, now that he had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could return to Konoha every night, so there was no such thing as a parting.
The preparation Naruto spoke of was for Sasuke.
He planned to throw this guy over to Orochimaru's place.
In Konoha, as a Genin, he couldn't come into contact with powerful people and couldn't progress.
And Orochimaru, as a teacher, was actually quite good.
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
The main point was Sasuke's Summoned Beast.
In the future, when Naruto, Sakura, and Sasukereunite.
Naruto summons Gamabunta, Sakura summons Katsuyu, and Sasuke summons a crow named Kyubey.
A little crow against two giant toads and a giant slug.
A small bird against big beasts.
It doesn't match at all.
Besides, Sasuke's Summoned Beast is called Aoda.
Naruto felt he could collect a set of achievements.
Orochimaru is the White Snake.
Uchiha Itachi is Xu Xian.
Sasuke is the Green Snake.
This is the authentic legend of the white snake.
Well, and he could help Orochimaru with the 'delivery' while he's at it.
In addition, Naruto had other tasks to give Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I want to ask a favor of you."
When Naruto saw him, he said with a serious face, "This is something only you can do."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow; he had never seen Naruto with such an expression.
"What are you talking about?" His tone couldn't help but become solemn.
"Go to Orochimaru's place."
"Huh?" Sasuke was confused, "Why? Orochimaruis no longer my match. Is there any point in going there?"
"There is." Naruto pointed to his shoulder and said, "Your Cursed Seal. Don't you want to learn Sage Mode?"
Sasuke fell silent for a moment. He did indeed want to learn Sage Mode.
It should be said that he wanted to learn anything that could make him stronger.
"Besides that, there's the Summoned Beast."
Naruto said calmly, "The Summoned Beasts of the Sannin come from the Three Great Sage Regions. Sakura and I have both learned one of them, but you haven't. A Summoned Beast is also a reflection of a Ninja's strength. You probably can't even beat my Summoned Beast."
Sasuke's face darkened.
His Summoned Beast, the crow Kyubey, was just a support.
"I heard Jiraiya mention that in Ryūchi Cave, there is a Summoned Beast called Aoda, whose strength is very formidable."
Naruto knew he was already tempted and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "What do you think?"
"I can go to Otogakure."
Sasuke nodded. He had recently felt a bottleneck in his strength. "But before that, you have to fight me."
What must come will come eventually.
This time Naruto did not refuse.
Before leaving, it would be good to give Sasuke a nudge so he would be more motivated.
"Fine. There's one more thing; we'll talk after the fight."
