Chapter 975 Incentive

Tsunade pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I understand your thoughts, but I must consider Naruto's safety. Although Myoboku Mountain is an ally, it is full of unknowns after all." Utatane Koharu said, "Tsunade, Naruto is a child with great potential. If he is always limited to training in the village, it will be difficult for him to make a big breakthrough. And we can arrange for the Anbu to protect him secretly." Tsunade gritted her teeth, "Okay, but we must ensure that there are no mistakes." Jiraiya was overjoyed after hearing this, "Don't worry, Tsunade, I am his master, and I will do my best to protect him."

Naruto was very excited to hear the news, and ran to thank Tsunade: "Grandma Tsunade, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard to practice and become a powerful ninja to protect Konoha Village." Tsunade touched Naruto's head and said, "Silly boy, be careful on the road." Then, Naruto followed Jiraiya on the journey to Myoboku Mountain. Looking at their backs as they went away, Tsunade prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Naruto would return smoothly from this training and really become a new powerful helper for Konoha. Naruto followed Jiraiya all the way and soon came to the entrance of Myoboku Mountain. There was smoke all around, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.

"Naruto, you must abide by the rules after entering Mount Myoboku. The Toad Sage here is not easy to deal with." Jiraiya warned.

Naruto nodded vigorously, his eyes full of anticipation. When they stepped into Myoboku Mountain, the surrounding scene made Naruto's eyes widen. Huge mushrooms stood like houses, and there were many strange-looking toads jumping around.

Suddenly, a huge toad jumped in front of them and said in a muffled voice: "Jiraiya, the little guy you brought looks very energetic."

"Master Fukasaku, this is the Naruto I told you about. He has unlimited potential," Jiraiya responded respectfully.

Fukasaku looked around Naruto and said, "Well, there is great power contained in your body, but if you want to practice here, you have to pass a small test first." As he spoke, many stone pillars suddenly rose from the ground and began to move.

"Are you testing my evasive ability? Watch me!" Naruto was full of fighting spirit, ready to take on the challenge. Naruto nimbly shuttled between the stone pillars, his figure like a flash of lightning. However, the stone pillars moved faster and faster, and their directions became more and more unpredictable. Just when Naruto was distracted for a moment, a stone pillar crashed towards him.

"Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto instantly created several shadow clones to block the stone pillar. Fukasaku nodded slightly, "It's a little clever, but this is just an appetizer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, turning into a field full of fire traps. The flames roared and rushed towards Naruto. Naruto formed seals with both hands, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A water dragon rushed towards the flames, and the two canceled each other out.

But then, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and countless vines sprang out, trying to entangle Naruto. Naruto jumped high, spun in the air, and threw several kunai to cut the vines.

Fukasaku said to Jiraiya: "This kid has good adaptability." At this time, a giant toad fell from the sky and opened its mouth to bite Naruto. Naruto did not retreat but advanced, punched the toad's mouth, and used the force to jump into the sky again, "Rasengan!" directly hit the toad's abdomen and knocked it out. Fukasaku laughed: "Very good, you passed the test, you can start training here." Naruto clenched his fist happily, he knew that his journey to become stronger had officially begun. Naruto began to devote himself to arduous training in Myoboku Mountain. He followed Fukasaku to learn fairy arts every day, and got up early in the morning to practice chakra concentration. However, the training was not smooth sailing. Once, when trying to absorb the power of nature, the power of the nine-tailed demon fox in Naruto's body suddenly became agitated.

The evil aura of the Nine-Tails interfered with the practice of senjutsu, and Naruto fell to the ground in pain. Jiraiya was shocked and rushed forward to check. Fukasaku calmly analyzed and believed that a way to balance the power of the two must be found. So, they decided to temporarily stop the practice of senjutsu and instead look for a way to suppress the Nine-Tails.

After some exploration, they found a mysterious spring deep in the Myoboku Mountain. Fukasaku told Naruto that this spring might be able to calm the Nine-Tails. Naruto jumped into the spring without hesitation. The spring was freezing cold, but Naruto gritted his teeth and persisted. Slowly, the Nine-Tails' power gradually calmed down.

After resolving this crisis, Naruto refocused on his training in senjutsu. As time went by, he became more and more proficient in senjutsu, and gradually exuded an otherworldly aura. In Konoha Village, everyone was looking forward to Naruto's return after completing his studies, believing that he would return with great power to protect Konoha. Days passed, and Naruto finally completed his training in Myoboku Mountain. He said goodbye to Fukasaku and the other toad sages, and set off on his journey home with Jiraiya.

Back at Konoha Village, everyone gathered around. Tsunade smiled with satisfaction, "Naruto, you seem to have grown a lot." Naruto scratched his head, "It's all thanks to Master Fukasaku's good teaching."

Soon after, the village received news that there was an invasion by foreign enemies. Naruto immediately stepped forward and stood at the entrance of the village. When the enemy saw Naruto, he looked down on him and said, "Just a little devil."

Naruto calmly formed a seal and instantly entered the Sage Mode. The power of nature surrounded him and his eyes were determined. The battle started, and Naruto used various sage ninjutsu to catch the enemy off guard.

Those enemies who had looked down upon him were now filled with fear. Naruto used the skills he had learned at Myoboku Mountain to skillfully counter the enemy's attacks and deliver powerful counterattacks.

In the end, Naruto successfully repelled the foreign enemies. The villagers cheered and praised Naruto as the hero of Konoha. Naruto looked at the bustling village and secretly vowed to use this power to protect Konoha Village forever. After becoming the hero of Konoha Village, Naruto did not become proud and complacent. One day, he came to the Hokage Rock alone and overlooked the entire village. He remembered those photos and the silent dedication of the Third Hokage.

At this time, Mr. Iruka came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Naruto, you did a great job." Naruto turned around and smiled, "Mr. Iruka, thanks to your recognition back then, I am who I am today."

Suddenly, a strange light appeared in the distant sky, as if something ominous had happened. Naruto's face became stern, "Teacher Iruka, I feel danger approaching." He immediately ran to the village entrance to be on guard.

It turned out that the enemy who had been defeated had colluded with a more powerful force to seek revenge. Facing a strong enemy, Naruto showed no fear. He took a deep breath and entered the Sage Mode again. The battle was extremely fierce, and the enemy used various new ninjutsu, and Naruto gradually felt exhausted. But he thought of his family and friends in the village, and a stronger power burst out from his body.

He combined the power of the Nine-Tails with the celestial art to create a new ninjutsu with amazing power. After a hard battle, Naruto finally defeated the enemy again. Konoha Village returned to peace, and Naruto became the eternal guardian of Konoha Village. His story inspired every young ninja to continue to grow.
