Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

Page 117

"Two Shimuras, two Mitomons, and one Utatane!" the Third Hokage said, adding, "These people have all made great contributions to Konoha, and it is necessary to bring them back. This was also discussed in a high-level meeting!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi sneered inwardly, realizing that they had all been replacing their own people.

Moreover, the so-called high-level meeting was just a decision made by a few of you. Any further explanation would be too pretentious!

Kakashi was also taken aback.

It's unbelievable that three generations could be so selfish and self-serving.

Aren't you afraid of being criticized?

But thinking about it...

If we don't tell anyone, who will know?

Given the high risk and difficulty of the mission, Kakashi suggested, "Hokage, could you let me team up with Might Guy or an experienced special Jonin? After all, my team was only recently formed and has no experience in missions. Moreover, this mission is quite difficult and not easy to complete."

Kakashi is a cold person.

He seems to find fault with everyone.

But he still cares a lot about his students.

The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "I have already arranged for Might Guy to go out on a separate mission. He will be leaving later. As you know, Konoha often needs to rely on completing missions to earn money in order to maintain the normal operation of the village. Currently, the village is severely lacking in manpower."

The Third Hokage solemnly said, "Kakashi, I'm counting on you."

The other party's tone was very sincere.

And he was also the Hokage of Konoha.

Kakashi had no way to refuse and could only reply "okay".

He planned to inform everyone.

Be prepared to go out and carry out missions!

After leaving the Hokage's office building, Kakashi planned to head to the training grounds to inform the genin of the mission.

Walking down the street, Kakashi held Icha Icha Paradise in one hand.

Read it today.

It always feels like something's missing.

"Kid, if you're not going to buy, don't get in my way." A voice suddenly reached Kakashi's ears.

Look in the direction of the sound.

A blond-haired boy, about three or four years old, came into Kaka's view.

It's Naruto!

Kakashi frowned, walked over, placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, and said to the mask shop owner:

"Boss, he's just a kid. Aren't you afraid of damaging your shop's reputation by being so fierce?"

Upon seeing that Kakashi was a Konoha ninja, the shopkeeper's expression immediately changed. He smiled obsequiously and said, "I was just joking with him. What do you want to buy? I have a wide variety of high-quality masks to choose from!"

Ignoring the other person's almost fawning words, Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, which one do you like? I'll buy it for you!"

When Kakashi first met Genba, what he said was right. Over the years, as Minato Namikaze's disciple, Kakashi had indeed neglected Naruto's growth. At this moment, a feeling of guilt arose in his heart, a desire to make amends!

Naruto didn't like Kakashi putting his hand on his shoulder. After pulling away from Kakashi's grasp, he said with fear in his eyes, "I have money, I can buy it myself!"

After saying that.

He handed a few coins to the shopkeeper, took off a fox mask, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Naruto's words left Kakashi somewhat bewildered. He forced a smile and said, "Naruto, what do you like to eat? I'll take you to eat!"

However, Naruto was not appreciative and said, "Big brother with white hair, I know you used to secretly monitor me. I can sense malice from you. You are not truly kind to me."

Naruto has the Nine-Tails inside him, and he can clearly sense whether others are kind or evil to him. He continued, "In this world, the only one who is truly good to me is Brother Genye. He never called me a demon fox, and he even saved me with his life. He is my boss, and I want to become a powerful ninja like him!"

When talking about Genba, Naruto's eyes shone brightly, as if he were talking about his idol.

Hearing this, Kakashi was stunned, seemingly with mixed feelings. He then smiled and said, "I am now Gen-ye's teacher, so we can get along well."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes lit up, his face filled with disbelief.

"Of course!" Kakashi smiled.

"Let's go eat dumplings!"

With this relationship established, Naruto's attitude towards Kakashi changed somewhat, after all, this newly formed master-disciple relationship was there.

The two of them went out for a nice meal.

...

Konoha Village.

Inside a tavern.

Jiraiya and Tsunade are drinking.

Jiraiya said with a smile, "It hasn't been a few years since we last met, has it?"

Tsunade drank a bowl of wine, her expression unchanged, and said, "Yes, it's been several years."

She glanced at Jiraiya with her cool gaze and said, "I really miss the days when you tried to spy on me and I broke your bones."

Hearing Tsunade's sarcastic remark.

Jiraiya held up a finger to signal a shushing response, saying, "There are too many people here. I'll lose face if you speak so loudly!"

Tsunade glanced at him sideways and said, "You're a grown man, why are you worried about losing face? Anyway, you're away from home all year round, so it doesn't matter what the village says about you."

"That's not how it works. If my reputation is ruined, I won't be able to find a wife in Konoha!" Jiraiya poured himself a full glass of sake and said as he drank alone.

Tsunade scoffed and said, "With your looks, finding a wife will be a real challenge!"

"Who said that? I am the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, and the people who secretly admire me line up from one end of the village to the other!" Jiraiya panicked and hurriedly defended himself, trying to prove his charm!

"Tch!" Tsunade scoffed upon hearing this.

Her expression turned somber, and she said:

"Of the three legendary Sannin, Orochimaru has already betrayed Konoha, leaving only you and me. After I returned, the Third Hokage wanted to talk to me, but I refused. He must be trying to brainwash me with the Will of Fire again, making me stay in Konoha to work for him."

Tsunade scoffed and said, "But I'm not eighteen or nineteen anymore. No, my looks, skin, and figure will always be the same as when I was eighteen or nineteen. But I won't be like before, charging into the Ninja World War recklessly for their empty slogans!"

"Over the years, Hiruzen-sensei has indeed changed a lot. I feel that he seems to be paying more and more attention to the power he holds as Hokage, and together with a few advisors, he has made a mess of the village!" Jiraiya drank a large bowl of sake, wiped the sake from the corner of his mouth, and sighed deeply.

"Yes! When are you leaving the village? Have you found your chosen one yet?!" Tsunade suddenly asked.

A trace of sadness flashed in Jiraiya's eyes as he said, "We found them, but it seems they died in the war of the ninja world. I will leave the village in a few days to continue the search!"

At this moment, Jiraiya thought that Nagato and the others were dead, and he was even saddened for a long time. In fact, only Yahiko died at Nagato's hands in order to save Konan, and was made into the Deva Path of the Six Paths of Pain by Nagato.

Moreover, Hanzo the Salamander, who killed Yahiko, was also killed by Pain!

only.

Jiraiya knew nothing of any of this.

Shaking the sake in his hand, Jiraiya said, "Now, the Great Toad Sage has not only made me search for the Child of Destiny, but also added another Child of the Ninja World. I won't be able to return to Konoha for a long time, and I'm afraid we won't be able to meet for a while!"

"Rather than saying you went out to find your destiny, the chosen one of the ninja world, it's more accurate to say you went out to enjoy the scenery, soak in hot springs, and peek at other beautiful women!" Tsunade curled her lip and said with a disdainful look. How could she not know what the other party was up to?

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Jiraiya denied it three times in a row, then said, "If you're tired, it's normal to find a hot spring or pub to relax. Besides, I was just looking for inspiration for my writing!"

"I'm going to be a great writer!" Jiraiya said nervously.

Only in front of Tsunade.

This toad immortal might be in a panic.

Tsunade downed the drink in her cup in one gulp, then said with a smile, "I've found a master who can hold his liquor very well. You should know him too. Let him have a match with us!"

Thinking back to her exhilarating battle with Genba in the Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade felt extremely satisfied. So she had Shizune notify Genba to come over, since Jiraiya's alcohol tolerance was still a bit lacking.

"He's here!"

As soon as he sat down, Genye saw Jiraiya opposite him, who said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "This is the expert you were talking about?"

His words were full of disdain!

After all, Gen-ye is only nine years old.

What makes you think you're qualified to compete with him in drinking?

Genba said with a grin, "Lord Jiraiya, it's been a long time!"

Jiraiya glanced at Genba and said, "Tsunade has a very high opinion of your drinking capacity. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

"That's too kind of you, Lady Tsunade. Actually, my alcohol tolerance is very average, definitely not as good as Lady Jiraiya's. I'm very aware of my own limitations!" Genba acted very modestly, and Jiraiya felt very comfortable with her flattery!

However, Genba then displayed astonishing combat power.

Because they were bidding farewell to Jiraiya, the three of them drank freely. Four or five hours later, Genba got Jiraiya and Tsunade drunk, while Genba, though slightly tipsy, remained sober!

Looking at Jiraiya lying on the ground, Genba shook his head and said, "If you can't drink, go to the table where the dog is sitting."

After all, Jiraiya collapsed halfway through his drink, leaving him to fight Tsunade.

Because Jingyin went back first.

No way.

Genba helped Tsunade up and walked towards the inn where she was staying.

As he placed the other person on the bed, a sudden surge of immense force caused Xuan Ye to fall over before he could react. It seemed as if something had pressed against the former's face, making it difficult for him to breathe!

After struggling for a long time.

Xuan Ye was finally freed from his restraints.

His eyes seemed to hold a hint of helplessness.

As Genye was leaving, he saw Shizune holding Tunade, who asked, "Is Lady Tsunade drunk again?"

Xuan Ye nodded.

Silent sigh.

Tsunade may seem carefree, but she actually has many worries, so she often relies on alcohol to numb herself.

After leaving, Genye walked along the path toward the Uchiha clan.

As soon as Xuan Ye stepped into the clan's territory, he saw Zhi Shui, who was fully prepared for departure, and greeted him, saying, "Brother Zhi Shui, hello!"

"Hello, Genye." Shisui smiled gently when he saw Genye and greeted him in return.

Xuan Ye was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Brother Zhi Shui, judging from your appearance, you must be going on a mission, right?"

Shisui is an elite Jonin of the Anbu, known as "Shisui of the Body Flicker," and is also highly skilled in genjutsu. Konoha's decision to send him on a mission suggests that it must be a challenging one.

Shisui nodded, but did not reveal the specific details of the mission, because the former needed to keep it a secret!

However, the clever Genba seemed to have thought of something and said, "Could it be about the incident where Itachi was attacked?"

Zhi Shui did not answer.

But Xuan Ye seemed to have discovered something from the strange look that flashed across the other person's face.

Genye guessed right!

After a moment's hesitation, Xuan Ye continued:

"Brother Shisui, according to Itachi, the opponent who attacked them is extremely powerful. You... you must be careful!"

Genba couldn't tell Shisui that the other party possessed the Rinnegan, and that even if he used the Mangekyou Sharingan, it might be of no use.

And they also have Xiao Nan.

Who knows how many explosive tags they've stockpiled!

Moreover, it's still unclear how many skilled fighters the Akatsuki has recruited.

However, Genye could not explain these things openly.

Zhi Shui patted Xuan Ye on the shoulder and said, "This mission shouldn't be too difficult. There are also several experts going out with me. Thank you for your concern!"

"When I get back, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

After saying that.
