Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 147 Give me Naruto!

Jiraiya remained calm, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long silence, Jiraiya said, "Kakashi, leave Naruto to me."

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment.

Can you tell me why?

Although Kakashi trusted Jiraiya, Naruto was, after all, a Jinchuriki, entrusted to his care by the Third Hokage. He couldn't make decisions on his own without the Third Hokage's permission.

Jiraiya remained silent for a moment before saying, "Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Kakashi didn't respond, which everyone knew.

“You know I’ve been keeping an eye on Orochimaru all these years,” Jiraiya said.

Kakashi nodded.

Jiraiya continued, "Over the years, while I was monitoring Orochimaru, I discovered that he had also joined an organization called Akatsuki."

Kakashi frowned.

"This organization has a total of 9 members. Over the years, this organization has been taking on missions all over the ninja world and collecting ninjutsu from various ninja villages."

"At the same time, they are also investigating the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts in various ninja villages."

Kakashi was startled. "You mean...?"

Jiraiya nodded. "That's right. They'll probably collect the Tailed Beasts just like they collect ninjutsu, for their own use."

Kakashi frowned. "Even you can't deal with this organization?"

After all, Jiraiya was one of the Legendary Sannin, so he should have had this ability.

Jiraiya shook his head. "No, the ninjas in this organization are all very strong. Almost every ninja has the power of a Kage."

Kakashi was stunned. "They all have the power of Kage?"

Kakashi couldn't believe it; this was beyond his wildest imagination.

It's important to know that Jiraiya said there were nine people in the Akatsuki organization, nine Kage-level shinobi, who had the power to conquer a country.

One Orochimaru is enough to put Konoha on such a tense state; imagine nine powerful figures like Orochimaru—it's terrifying to even think about.

Jiraiya said solemnly, "That's why I need to keep Naruto by my side. He must master the power of the Nine-Tails in order to avoid being captured by the Akatsuki."

Kakashi fell silent.

He didn't know how to answer.

Logically, this should benefit Naruto, but he doesn't know if Naruto is willing to accept it.

The Third Hokage probably wouldn't object, since he was well aware of Jiraiya's strength.

It's much safer to follow Jiraiya than to wander around the village.

But Kakashi then thought of Yoru.

Kakashi made his decision immediately.

Jiraiya had no further reason to continue, so Kakashi nodded and said, "Naruto will indeed be safer with you."

Jiraiya was taken aback; he hadn't expected Kakashi to agree so easily.

I thought you would object.

Jiraiya said in surprise.

Kakashi sighed, "I just want him to be safer, and he really doesn't learn much from me anyway."

Jiraiya frowned; he always felt that Kakashi's reason wasn't that.

"Kakashi, this isn't like you."

Kakashi knew he couldn't fool Jiraiya, so he had no choice but to reveal his true thoughts.

"I just didn't want my other disciple to fight to the death."

Jiraiya asked doubtfully, "Are you talking about Sasuke?"

Because Yoruha had only recently risen to prominence, Jiraiya was unaware of his existence.

Kakashi shook his head. "No, Sasuke doesn't have that strength right now either."

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised. "Wait a minute, your other disciple, isn't that a girl? Does she possess the same talent as Tsunade?"

Jiraiya still thought that the other person Kakashi mentioned was Sakura.

However, Sakura's talent is indeed very high. Without any bloodline enhancement, she mastered most of Tsunade's ninjutsu and even eventually possessed Kage-level strength.

However, the person Kakashi was referring to wasn't Sakura.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "He's one of my disciples. If he were in Konoha, I wouldn't be so worried about Orochimaru invading."

Jiraiya was also surprised. "You mean, your disciple is Orochimaru's match?!"

Jiraiya couldn't believe it; Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin, just like him.

Kakashi looked into the distance and sighed, "I don't know, but it's highly likely."

"Kakashi, don't you know how powerful the power of a Shadow is?"

Jiraiya refused to believe it; it was simply too unbelievable.

Kakashi smiled and said, "I didn't quite believe it at first either, so I observed him for a long time. He has indeed reached the level of a Kage."

"The Hokage is aware of this matter as well."

Jiraiya, who was initially skeptical, had no doubts when he heard that the Third Hokage also knew about it.

"If that's the case, then you've taken on a very strong disciple."

Who is he? Can you tell me?

Jiraiya was also very curious about who it was that could make the Third Hokage and Kakashi make the judgment that they could withstand Orochimaru.

Kakashi thought for a moment and decided that introducing Yoru to Jiraiya would be beneficial for his future connections.

Moreover, Jiraiya was from the Hokage lineage, so he would find out about Yoru's situation sooner or later.

Kakashi then said, "My disciple's name is Jingwen Yeyu. He went on a mission with us before."

"During that mission, he single-handedly killed Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised.

During this period, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were still very famous.

Therefore, Jiraiya was very shocked.

"How old is your disciple?"

Kakashi said, "I'm in the same year as Naruto and Sasuke, the same age."

"What! The same age as Sasuke and Naruto? You're not kidding, are you?"

Jiraiya couldn't believe it; he thought Yoru was at least fifteen or sixteen years old.

At fifteen or sixteen, he possessed the strength to kill elite Jonin. Although his talent was extremely high, Jiraiya's situation was understandable.

After all, Minato Namikaze had such talent back then.

Kakashi actually said that Yoru's age is the same as Naruto's, which means his talent far surpasses Minato Namikaze's.

He simply didn't believe that someone with such talent could exist.

Kakashi glanced at Jiraiya and calmly said, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

Jiraiya was shocked to see Kakashi's calm demeanor.

He knew, of course, that Kakashi wouldn't lie to him.

But he could hardly believe it was true.

The main reason is that he has never seen anyone with this kind of talent.

Even Orochimaru, whom he once considered a genius, wasn't that terrifying.

"The third generation also knows about this?"

Kakashi nodded. "It was the Third Hokage who promoted him to Chunin."

"And it was only recently promoted."

Jiraiya remained silent for a long time; this news was simply too unbelievable.

He needs time to process this.

After a long pause, Jiraiya frowned and said, "You mean, he already has the strength to withstand Orochimaru?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I think with his current strength, it's not a problem."

What was the evaluation of him by the three generations?

Because Kakashi was Yoru's teacher, and his strength was only that of an elite Jonin, Jiraiya was worried that Kakashi might misjudge the situation.

Kakashi said, "The Hokage said he already possesses the strength of a Kage."

Now Jiraiya was completely convinced.

He simply couldn't believe that such a genius existed.

At only 12 years old, he already possessed Kage-level strength; Jiraiya had never seen a ninja like this before.

This is a good thing.

Jiraiya asked curiously, "Why isn't he in the village?"

"Isn't he participating in this Chunin Exams as a proctor?"

Kakashi shook his head. "The Hokage wanted Yoru to accumulate mission experience, so he gave him a B-rank mission to carry out alone."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya stared at Kakashi in shock. "What did you say?"

Kakashi repeated it again.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

He muttered to himself, "What is the Third Hokage planning? Could it be that he's chosen that kid? Just like he chose Minato back then."

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Jiraiya had already vaguely guessed the Third Hokage's plans.

The Third Hokage is planning to train Yoru to become Hokage.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to carry out a B-level mission alone.

Although Yoru is indeed qualified to carry out B-rank missions, such missions usually require the accompaniment of a Jonin.

Or at least several Chunin team up together.

It is rarely executed alone, and almost never occurs.

If the Third Hokage didn't want Yoru to go to his death, there was only one possibility: the Third Hokage felt that with Yoru's strength, he wouldn't be in any danger even if he carried out a B-rank mission alone.

Most importantly, he clearly wanted Ye Yu to accumulate missions, but why should Ye Yu accumulate missions?

It's obvious they want to groom Yoru to become Hokage.

Otherwise, it would be enough to let Ye Yu accumulate the amount of tasks on his own; there's no need to rush.
