Chapter 152 He's one of the Three Ninja!
After leaving Lee's room, the three of them went to Sasuke's room.
At that moment, Sakura and Ino were coming out of Choji's room.
Upon seeing Sasuke, Naruto and Shikamaru entered Sasuke's room. "Sasuke, you're awake."
Sakura walked towards Sasuke, her face full of surprise.
Sakura, Naruto, Ino, and Shikamaru came to the hospital together. Sakura and Ino went to visit Choji first, while Shikamaru and Naruto went to visit Rock Lee first.
Sakura was overjoyed to see Sasuke wake up.
Sakura's worried look warmed Sasuke's heart.
Perhaps it was because Yoru's words influenced Sasuke, or perhaps it was because they had trained and spent a lot of time together these past few days, and their relationship had become very good.
Naruto, who was standing nearby, was very unhappy to see this, but he could only watch helplessly.
Sakura has made her feelings for Sasuke clear, and Sasuke has accepted them.
Naruto knew he had no chance.
However, seeing the girl he liked fall for another boy still made him feel a little sad.
Not to mention that Sakura's crush is Sasuke, whom he considers his rival.
This means that, at least emotionally, he has already lost to Sasuke.
Ino wasn't as enthusiastic towards Sasuke as before; she just treated him as a classmate.
Seeing that Shikamaru, Naruto, and Sasuke looked rather unhappy earlier, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing that Sasuke woke up? You all don't seem very happy?"
Ino walked to the window and leaned against the windowsill, looking at the group.
After Naruto told Ino what had just happened, Sakura and Ino were somewhat surprised.
Sakura looked at Sasuke nervously, "That Gaara is very strong. If he can really control the power of the Tailed Beasts, we really shouldn't fight him head-on."
Sasuke remained silent.
Ino also said, "Sakura is right. Since we already know that the other party's goal is to kill Sasuke, there is no need to fight him to the death. It's not worth it."
Sasuke remained silent.
After a long pause, he smiled and said, "Whether we should fight it out or not, we'll have to try and see."
"Furthermore, it depends on the extent to which he has mastered the Tailed Beasts."
Shikamaru looked at Sasuke, who was completely different from the Sasuke he knew at the Ninja Academy.
But he could sense that Sasuke was more real now, and he felt more powerful.
Shikamaru only knew that Sasuke and Kakashi had trained for a long time during this period.
It is unknown which ninjutsu Sasuke has learned.
After chatting for a while, Ino and Shikamaru left.
Only Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura remained.
Naruto then told Sasuke and Sakura that Jiraiya also wanted to take him away from the village.
"Sasuke, Sakura, I ran into Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, on my way here."
Sasuke was completely bewildered.
He had heard of the Sannin, but he didn't know anything about them.
Sakura, on the other hand, looked delighted and asked, "Does that mean someone can deal with Orochimaru?"
Naruto nodded. "Probably. Although I don't know if Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, can stop Orochimaru, at least they are both legendary Sannin, so they can be of great help."
"Who are these three legendary ninja you're talking about?"
Sasuke asked.
Sakura then recounted the story of the Sannin that Kakashi had told her.
Sasuke was surprised; he hadn't expected the village to be in such danger.
"Has Ye Yu not returned yet?"
This is what Sasuke cares about most.
Naruto and Sakura both shook their heads. "No, if he were here, Kakashi-sensei wouldn't be so worried."
Sasuke remained silent.
It would be really troublesome if Yoru wasn't around.
Sasuke believed that as long as Yoru was there, even if Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, attacked Konoha, Yoru could stop him.
Seeing that Sasuke was silent, Naruto smiled and said, "The Toad Sage said he would personally teach me ninjutsu and take me out of the village to train in the future."
Sasuke and Sakura were both stunned, looking at Naruto with confusion.
Naruto explained, "It's because of the Nine-Tails inside me."
"The Toad Sage returned to the village this time because an organization wanted to capture the Jinchuriki of various ninja villages. The Toad Sage was worried that I would fall into the hands of that organization, so he wanted to take me out of the village to hide."
"Take me with your training while you're at it."
"That's one of the Legendary Sannin, so he must have a lot of powerful ninjutsu."
Naruto said with a smile, but you could still feel the bitterness in his words.
If he could, he naturally wouldn't want to leave Class 7 or the village.
But the Naruto of today is no longer the clueless newbie from the original story. He now understands very well how important the Nine-Tails within him is to Konoha.
The nine tails within him cannot be harmed.
Sasuke lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Sakura asked worriedly, "Is the other person really Jiraiya from the Legendary Sannin? Are you really sure?"
Naruto laughed and said, "Kakashi-sensei has already agreed. I'll go ask him later to see if it's true."
"I don't think he needed to tell such an easily exposed lie."
Sakura was a little sad. "If that's the case, you'll have to leave Class 7 too."
Naruto forced a smile and said, "That's Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. He also said he would teach me many powerful ninjutsu. Sasuke, once I've finished my training and mastered the power of the Nine-Tails within me, I will definitely defeat you."
Sasuke looked up at Naruto, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
In the end, he simply said in a cold voice, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
He also couldn't bear to see Naruto leave.
He didn't care that Naruto and Jiraiya learned powerful ninjutsu.
Sasuke now understands very well that the Sharingan is the foundation of his strength.
He trusted the training plan that Ye Yu had devised for him completely.
Naturally, he wouldn't be jealous of Naruto.
He wasn't jealous of Naruto, but he was worried about Naruto's safety.
After all, Naruto had told him that the Akatsuki organization had many ninjas with Hokage-level strength.
Is it really safe to be targeted by an organization like that?
Jiraiya is one of the Legendary Sannin, so can he really protect Naruto's safety?
Sasuke was very worried.
However, he still couldn't bring himself to voice his concerns.
Unlike Sasuke, Sakura asked worriedly, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to leave the village than to stay in it?"
"At least you'll have the village's ninjas to protect you, and you'll also have Yoru, Kakashi-sensei, and the Hokage to protect you."
Naruto said seriously, "I don't want them to destroy Konoha, and I don't want Yoru to be in danger because of me."
“He is the same age as us and should not have to bear such a burden.”
Sakura fell silent.
Naruto was very happy to see that Sakura was really worried about him.
"Sakura, don't worry about me. After all, the Toad Sage is one of the Legendary Sannin, and he can summon very powerful toads. There's definitely no danger for him."
"Moreover, with Ye Yu's seal in place, I don't need to worry about the Nine-Tails going berserk. As long as I can control the Nine-Tails' power, that so-called organization will definitely not be able to capture me."
Naruto was obviously comforting Sakura.
In fact, he didn't know whether the decision he made was right or wrong.
But he didn't want the village, or his friends Sasuke and Sakura, to be in danger.
By following Jiraiya, even if he were captured by the Akatsuki, his cherished friends would not be implicated.
