Chapter 994 The Lustful Immortal

"Hey, lecherous sage, how long are we going to stay here?" Naruto couldn't help but complain.

Jiraiya laughed and patted Naruto on the shoulder, "Boy, you can't stand this little bit of hardship? This is part of the training."

Naruto pouted, "But it's really cold, and I can't see anything. This road is too difficult to walk on."

At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from afar. The sound was ethereal and mysterious, as if it had some kind of magic. Naruto pricked up his ears curiously, "Sexy Sage, listen, what is that sound?"

Jiraiya's expression turned serious, "This sound is a bit strange, let's go and take a look carefully."

The two walked cautiously in the direction of the sound. After passing through a forest, they found a woman in white standing in the middle of the snow and playing the flute. The surrounding snowflakes seemed to be summoned and slowly danced around her.

"Who are you?" The woman stopped playing and looked at them with cold eyes.

Jiraiya took a step forward, "We are from the Land of Fire. We passed by here and came to check out the girl's flute. I wonder why the girl is playing such wonderful music here?" The girl raised her chin slightly, "I am waiting for my destined person here. My flute sound is only to wake up the sleeping things." Naruto scratched his head, full of confusion, "Sleeping things? What sleeping things?" The girl glanced at Naruto and did not answer. Jiraiya asked, "What do you mean by the destined person you mentioned? Are we the destined person you are waiting for?" The girl shook her head gently, "You are just attracted by the flute sound, not the real destined person, but since you are here, maybe you can lend me a hand." After that, the girl waved the flute in her hand, and the surrounding snowflakes instantly gathered together to form a huge snow beast. "This is what I am protecting, but it is now being corroded by evil forces. I need external forces to dispel the evil." Jiraiya frowned, "Then what should we do?" The woman pointed to the snow beast's eyes, "Use powerful chakra to impact there, maybe we can break the evil's shackles." Naruto jumped up excitedly, "Leave it to me! Although I am not very good at controlling chakra, it will definitely work at this time!" So, Naruto condensed chakra and rushed towards the snow beast's eyes, and Jiraiya was ready to support at any time. Naruto rushed to the snow beast's eyes with all his strength, and the chakra shone brightly. However, the snow beast suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a cold current. Naruto couldn't avoid it and one of his feet was frozen. Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly formed a seal, and a flame shot at the snow beast, dissolving the cold current.

"It doesn't seem that simple." The woman frowned slightly. At this time, Naruto broke free from the ice, quickly formed seals with his hands, and shouted: "Shadow Clone Technique!" More than a dozen clones rushed towards the snow beast at the same time. The snow beast waved its claws to disperse several clones, but Naruto took the opportunity to get close to the snow beast's eyes and released a large amount of chakra again.

Along with the dazzling light, the evil aura of the snow beast began to dissipate. Seeing this, the woman in white waved her flute and played a cheerful melody. The snow beast slowly shrank and eventually turned back to its original pure appearance. It turned out to be a cute little snow fox.

The woman picked up the snow fox and said to Naruto and Jiraiya gratefully, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, it would have been difficult to recover." Naruto smiled and scratched his head, "It's a small matter." Jiraiya looked at the snow fox in the woman's arms, full of curiosity, but before he asked, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and the three of them turned their heads together. A group of men in black rushed over, and the leader shouted, "Hand over the snow fox!" The woman in white hugged the snow fox tightly, her face full of vigilance. Jiraiya stepped forward and blocked the woman, "Who are you? Why do you want to seize this snow fox?" The man in black snorted coldly, "We are under the order of the master. This snow fox contains special power, which is crucial to the master's cause." Naruto clenched his fists angrily, "How can you do this? The snow fox has just recovered." The man in black ignored Naruto's words and attacked directly. Jiraiya and Naruto began to fight back, and a battle broke out for a while. But the black-clothed people were more numerous and powerful, and gradually gained the upper hand. When it seemed that they were defeated, countless leaves suddenly fell from the sky, and these leaves pierced the men in black like sharp blades. "Huh, do the people from the Sand Village want to meddle in other people's business?" It turned out that it was Gaara and others who came to rescue. The ninjas from the Sand Village joined the battle, and the situation changed instantly. The men in black retreated one after another when they saw that the situation was not good. The woman in white breathed a sigh of relief and thanked everyone. Gaara looked at the snow fox and said, "This snow fox has special abilities. You must be careful to protect it in the future." Everyone nodded, and then set out on their journey. A few days later, Naruto and his party continued on their journey. On the way, Naruto was always thinking about the snow fox, "I don't know how the snow fox is doing now." Jiraiya smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine with that girl taking care of it."

When they passed by a small town, they found a strange atmosphere. The residents were in a hurry, with fear in their eyes. Naruto stopped an uncle and asked, "Uncle, what happened?" The uncle trembled and said, "There are monsters in the town, and people disappear every night."

At night, Naruto sneaked out of his residence to investigate. As soon as he walked into an alley, he felt a gloomy aura behind him. He turned his head suddenly and saw a black shadow rushing towards him. Naruto quickly dodged sideways and threw a shuriken. At this time, Jiraiya arrived, "Naruto, be careful!" The master and apprentice teamed up to deal with the black shadow, but the black shadow was extremely fast and appeared and disappeared.

Suddenly, a familiar flute sounded. A woman in white appeared holding a snow fox, and the snow fox's eyes shone brightly at the black shadow. The black shadow gradually took shape under the light, and it turned out to be a raccoon cat possessed by resentment. The woman in white blew the flute, and the snow fox exhaled a purifying force, and the resentment of the raccoon cat dissipated. It turned out that the woman came here to track the special breath of the snow fox, and happened to help everyone again. Afterwards, everyone said goodbye and went to their new destinations. Naruto and his party continued on their journey, and a few days later they came to the edge of a misty forest. This forest is said to hide many ancient secrets and dangerous traps.

"Lecherous sage, are we really going in?" Naruto looked at the misty forest, feeling a little hesitant.

"Of course, there might be some powerful ninjutsu secrets in there." Jiraiya said with anticipation.

After entering the forest, the surroundings were eerily quiet. Suddenly, the ground sank, and Naruto screamed and fell into a big pit. Jiraiya rushed to rescue him, but a large number of vines emerged from the bottom of the pit and entangled Naruto. At the same time, some strange runes appeared around, flashing with a faint light.

Just when they were at a loss, a familiar flute sound came from afar. The woman in white appeared again, and the snow fox jumped to the bottom of the pit and bit off the vines to rescue Naruto.

"I sensed there was danger here, so I followed over to take a look," the woman said.

It turns out that this forest was once a place where an ancient tribe sealed the evil power. Now the seal is loose, and those runes are the remaining power of the seal. Everyone decided to find the source together and re-strengthen the seal, and a new adventure began.
