Chapter 204 Return to Myōboku-san

Seeing this, Kurotsuchi's eyes suddenly widened, and she was filled with shock. She never thought that Naruto would suddenly disappear, and use such a mysterious and powerful ability. Kurotsuchi's face turned red because of anger. She stamped her feet angrily and shouted, "Damn bastard Naruto, don't let me touch you again." She clenched her fists and stood there angrily, looking at the direction where Naruto disappeared, feeling angry and curious. She was angry that Naruto left without saying goodbye, and she was curious about Naruto's mysterious ability and the secrets he hid.

Outside the Iwagakure Village, Naruto appeared holding Kimimaro's hand. Kimimaro gently broke free from Naruto's hand and looked at him expressionlessly, but with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Naruto-sama, why did you leave so hastily? That woman didn't seem to have any ill intentions."

Naruto scratched his head and said helplessly, "Kimimaro, you don't understand. If I continue to tangle with Kurotsuchi, it will be too troublesome to explain, and I do have more important things to do now. We must find a suitable place to place the Medicine King Hall as soon as possible, so that I can practice in seclusion to improve my strength."

Kimimaro nodded slightly, showing his understanding: "So where should we go next?"

Naruto then thought for a while, and began to quickly seal with his hands. As the seals were completed, he shouted, "Reverse Summoning Technique!"

In an instant, a strong light appeared under his and Kimimaro's feet. The light spun rapidly like a vortex, and the air around them seemed to be twisted by this force. Kimimaro narrowed his eyes slightly, but his body remained standing steadily. Although he was curious about this technique, his expression remained grim.

As the light became stronger, the surrounding scenery began to become blurred, and the land beneath their feet seemed to gradually lose its substance. In just a moment, the figures of the two were completely swallowed by the light and disappeared into the woods outside the Iwagakure Village.

When the light faded again, Naruto and Kimimaro appeared in a strange and mysterious place. It was surrounded by clouds and mist, and all kinds of strange plants grew on the ground, emitting a faint fluorescence. In the distance there was a huge mountain, which was shaped like a sleeping giant beast, adding a bit of mystery to this place.

Naruto slowly breathed a sigh of relief, with a deep nostalgic look in his eyes. He carefully looked at the familiar environment around him and murmured, "This is Myoboku Mountain. I haven't been back for almost ten years. Time flies so fast. Those days I spent here seem like a beautiful dream when I think about them now. Every stone and every leaf here carries a lot of memories for me. I really miss that time."

Kimimaro just looked around indifferently, his eyes were as cold and objective as ice. After a while, he slowly spoke, his tone was not much different: "The concentration of spiritual energy here is very high, and it is not much different from that of Ryuchi Cave. This place will allow me to practice well this time." He could clearly feel the spiritual energy around him flowing in the air like a substance. This rich energy had a huge attraction to him, as if calling him to explore and absorb it.

Naruto couldn't help but smile after hearing what Kimimaro said. He knew Kimimaro too well. This guy seemed to only think about cultivation. So, with a look of contempt, Naruto pouted and said, "You are such a loser. Have you forgotten my Medicine King Hall? The concentration of spiritual energy there is much higher than here. Practicing in the Medicine King Hall will really achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Naruto then took a step forward and led Kimimaro towards the depths of Mount Myoboku. The depths of Mount Myoboku were the habitats of the mysterious toad clan. The scenery here seemed even more primitive and mysterious, with tall trees blocking out the sun, mosses on the ground flashing with strange light, and occasionally the low croaking of frogs could be heard from afar.

Naruto knew that if he wanted to temporarily place the Medicine King Hall here, he would definitely need the consent of the Great Toad Sage. After all, the Great Toad Sage had a supreme position in Myoboku Mountain, and his decisions were related to the safety and stability of the entire Myoboku Mountain. Moreover, the Great Toad Sage had extraordinary wisdom, and his opinions often had far-reaching significance. As Naruto walked, he quickly thought about how to explain his purpose to the Great Toad Sage and how to get the Great Toad Sage to agree to his request.

At this moment, a huge red toad fell from the sky. The huge body shook the ground and raised a cloud of dust. Naruto looked closely and saw that it was the boss of Myoboku Mountain, Gamabunta. Naruto smiled and ran forward in two steps, shouting excitedly: "Big Toad, long time no see!"

Gamabunta looked at Naruto with his big copper bell eyes, with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes: "Humph, you little brat, you didn't come back to visit for so long, why are you suddenly running to Myoboku Mountain now?"

Naruto scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Big Toad Daddy, you are always busy with things in the ninja world. But I came back this time because I have something very important to discuss with you and the Great Toad Sage."

Gamabunta looked at Kimimaro who was standing beside Naruto with an indifferent expression, and asked in a muffled voice: "Who is this guy? He looks so cold and he doesn't seem easy to get along with."

Naruto quickly introduced, "This is my friend Kimimaro. Although he may seem a bit standoffish, he's actually a very reliable partner. Together we are doing something very important for the ninja world."

Gamabunta snorted, "I hope he is as you said. Well, don't you have something to discuss? Come with me, but I'm not sure whether the Great Toad Immortal will see you."

Naruto said confidently: "As long as you help me put in a good word, the Great Toad Sage will definitely meet me."

As he spoke, Gamabunta had already extended his long tongue, and with a nimble roll, he easily placed Naruto and Kimimaro on his broad back. Kimimaro frowned slightly, as he was not used to the feeling of being "held hostage", but he did not resist. Naruto excitedly patted Gamabunta's back and shouted, "Let's go!"

Then, Gamabunta kicked his hind legs hard, and his huge body jumped high. The force of this jump was so amazing that he instantly took Naruto and Kimimaro away from the spot. A big pit was created in the ground below them, and the surrounding trees were blown all over the place by the strong airflow.

In the air, the wind whistled past. Naruto stood on Gamabunta's back, opened his arms and felt the power, his face filled with excitement. Kimimaro stood steadily, looking calmly ahead. Gamabunta's huge body drew an arc in the air and quickly jumped towards the residence of the Great Toad Sage.
