Chapter 945 Strange Power

Suitable for Naruto to learn now.

"But teacher, I'm not afraid of difficulties! As long as I can become stronger and protect the village, I will try my best to learn any ninjutsu, no matter how difficult it is!" Naruto said with a firm look in his eyes and clenched fists.

Jiraiya sighed helplessly, but was secretly pleased in his heart that this child had a spirit of not admitting defeat. "Okay, I can teach you the basics of a new ninjutsu, but this is just the beginning. You will need to practice hard in the future."

Naruto jumped with excitement, "That's great, Sensei!"

Jiraiya formed seals with his hands and demonstrated the movements slowly, while explaining the principles behind them. "This ninjutsu is called wind blade technique. It mainly gathers chakra at the edge of the palm to form an airflow as sharp as a blade. The key lies in the control of the amount of chakra and the accuracy of control..."

Naruto watched intently, not wanting to blink, trying to remember every detail. After Jiraiya finished demonstrating, Naruto couldn't wait to try. Although he failed repeatedly at the beginning, he was not discouraged, but became more motivated.

After several attempts, Naruto finally produced a slight airflow in his palm. Seeing this, Jiraiya nodded slightly, "Good, that's it, keep it up." Naruto was encouraged and focused more. As time went by, the airflow gradually became stronger and faintly took the shape of a blade. However, at this moment, the leaves around them suddenly shook violently, and a black shadow quickly attacked them. Jiraiya was instantly alert and protected Naruto behind him. It turned out that they were a few rebel ninjas who had sneaked into Konoha Village. They saw Naruto was practicing new ninjutsu and planned to take the opportunity to attack. Naruto was not afraid at all and stood in front of Jiraiya, "Teacher, this is a good opportunity to test my results." As he said, he used the wind blade technique he had just mastered to rush towards the rebel ninjas. Although the wind blade technique was not mature enough, Naruto used the shadow clone technique to create multiple clones to attack together. The rebel ninjas were beaten by Naruto for a while. Finally, with the help of Jiraiya, the rebel ninjas were subdued one after another. Naruto smiled happily and said, "Teacher, it seems my new ninjutsu is very useful."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto's bravery and smiled with satisfaction, "Naruto, you did a good job, but you must not be complacent." Naruto nodded vigorously. Then Jiraiya took Naruto to the Hokage's office to report the incident. On the way, Naruto chattered about his feelings during the battle, and Jiraiya listened patiently and gave guidance when necessary.

After arriving at the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage listened to the report, praised Naruto and Jiraiya, and reminded them to strengthen the village's vigilance. After leaving the office, Jiraiya decided to stop here for today and let Naruto go back to rest. Naruto skipped home.

Jiraiya turned and went to Tsunade. Standing in front of Tsunade's door, facing Tsunade, Jiraiya scratched his head and said, "I just taught Naruto a new ninjutsu, he learned it very quickly, and we also encountered an attack by a rebel ninja, that kid was very brave." Tsunade smiled slightly after hearing this, "Naruto is indeed a child full of potential. However, I have already thought about your proposal." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade nervously, only to see Tsunade slowly say: "I am willing to work with you to protect Konoha." Jiraiya was immediately overjoyed.

After Jiraiya was happy, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "Tsunade, you were still hesitant yesterday, why did you agree so readily today? Did something happen?" Tsunade crossed her arms and snorted, "Isn't it okay for me to think it through? After all, Konoha is our hometown, and there are too many things here worth protecting. Besides, Naruto is working so hard, if I still evade my responsibility, wouldn't I be worse than a child?"

Jiraiya smiled in relief, "Yes, then we have to plan some defensive measures. Those rebellious ninjas might just be the vanguard, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind them." Tsunade nodded, "Yes, we have to call a meeting of the ninjas in the village to discuss countermeasures."

So the two of them started to act and notified the representatives of each ninja family to come to discuss the matter. At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere was lively. Some people proposed to increase the number of patrols, and some suggested setting up more traps. After Naruto learned about this, he also came to participate in the discussion. Some of his novel ideas made everyone's eyes light up. In the end, the entire Konoha Village was united and actively prepared for war to deal with the possible crisis.

A few days later, the spies sent news that a huge force was gathering towards Konoha. Tsunade quickly ordered the villagers to evacuate to a safe area, and arranged for the ninjas to ambush according to the predetermined strategy. Naruto volunteered to join the frontline battle team, and Tsunade agreed even though she was a little worried.

The battle started, and the enemies came in waves. Naruto rushed into the enemy camp first, and his wind blade technique was much better than before, and blood splashed everywhere he went. Jiraiya and Tsunade also showed their strong strength. Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta to suppress a large number of enemy troops, and Tsunade used her super strength fist to hit the enemy hard. The Konoha ninjas fought bravely.

When the battle was at a stalemate, Shikamaru came up with a brilliant plan. He commanded the ninjas to change their formations and disrupt the enemy's deployment. Naruto seized the opportunity and used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to trap the enemy leader. At the critical moment, Sasuke returned to Konoha. He and Naruto worked well together and defeated the leader in one fell swoop. The enemy army, without its commander, was in chaos. The Konoha ninjas took advantage of the victory and finally repelled the enemy.

After the war, Konoha Village was filled with jubilation. Naruto became a hero admired by everyone, and Sasuke's return also made everyone happy. Tsunade looked at the prosperous village, knowing that Konoha's future would be even better under the protection of these young ninjas.

After Konoha returned to peace, Naruto did not slack off. He got up early and went to bed late every day. In addition to daily training, he also pestered Sasuke to exchange ninjutsu experience. Although Sasuke appeared indifferent, he recognized Naruto's growth in his heart. One day, Naruto found Jiraiya, with expectation in his eyes: "Teacher, I want to go out and experience, like in the book you wrote, to see a wider world and learn more powerful ninjutsu." Jiraiya thought for a moment, patted Naruto on the shoulder: "Okay, you really need more experience to become truly strong." After learning about it, Sasuke actually said that he wanted to go with him. In this way, the two embarked on their journey.

On the way, they heard that there was a powerful ninja beast in a mysterious valley, and if they could tame it, they could use it for themselves. The two of them went there curiously and entered the valley after going through many dangers. The valley was filled with thick fog, and low roars could be heard from time to time. Suddenly, a giant three-headed dog rushed out. The two smiled at each other and fought side by side without hesitation. They performed their strongest ninjutsu. The battle was extremely fierce, but Naruto was always optimistic and positive, and Sasuke responded calmly. In the end, the two of them worked together to subdue the three-headed dog. This adventure deepened their bond and took a step towards becoming greater ninjas.
