Chapter 258 Fuck them
Jiraiya’s death in the anime once touched me deeply. Now, when I think of Jiraiya’s death again, the grief still surges in my heart like a tide.
The tragic scenes in the comics seemed to reappear in front of him, Jiraiya faced the powerful enemy alone,
Never back down until the last moment of life.
His departure is not just the disappearance of a character, but also the collapse of a spiritual pillar.
Naruto thought of Jiraiya's teaching and companionship, the days of training together, those times filled with laughter and sweat, all of which became the most precious memories in his heart.
Now, Jiraiya is finally about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers to do that crucial thing.
Naruto knew very well that it was impossible to stop Jiraiya by himself, and once Jiraiya made a decision, it was difficult to change it easily.
However, Naruto also knew that ever since Jiraiya had devoted himself to training, his strength had indeed improved significantly.
He silently evaluated in his mind. Although he didn't know how strong Pain was, with Jiraiya's experience and current abilities, at least he should have no problem saving his life.
Thinking of this, Naruto felt a little relieved.
What's more, he also gave a talisman to Fukasaku Shima.
This talisman is a guarantee for him. Naruto believes that in an emergency, Shima Fukasaku will definitely summon him over.
With this back-up plan, he felt that Jiraiya had an extra layer of security.
"Okay, Uncle Jiraiya, I can go to Nadeshiko Village on your behalf." Naruto took a deep breath.
Jiraiya grinned, as if his evil plan would definitely succeed, then patted Naruto on the shoulder and said, "You can do it as a kid, okay, I'm leaving too."
After saying that, Jiraiya turned around and walked forward with big strides.
His figure exuded a sense of free and unrestrainedness, as if he was full of confidence and anticipation for the upcoming trip to the Hidden Rain Village.
That broad back, shining in the sunlight, appears particularly firm.
Naruto looked at Jiraiya's departing back, feeling both trust in him and a hint of worry in his heart.
He knew that Jiraiya was very powerful, but the Akatsuki organization in the Hidden Rain Village was also an extremely dangerous existence.
However, he also believed that Jiraiya would handle it carefully.
Naruto withdrew his gaze, and when he thought about going to the unknown Fushiko Village, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
This series of events was really beyond his expectations, but now that things had come to this, there was no better way.
In that case, why not just take it one step at a time.
After making up his mind, Naruto began to act.
He first said goodbye to his mother Kushina and others. Although Kushina was a little worried, she also knew that Naruto had grown up and had his own responsibilities and missions to accomplish.
She looked at Naruto tenderly and told him to be careful and take good care of himself.
After saying goodbye to his family, Naruto went to meet Sasuke and Kimimaro again.
Anyway, there is nothing important to do right now, and I'm free anyway, so it's a good choice to ask Sasuke and Kimimaro to go out for a walk together.
Not only can you go to the mysterious Nadeshiko Village to complete the tasks assigned by Uncle Jiraiya, but you can also visit other places in the Ninja World.
He imagined the new scenery and interesting people he might meet along the way, and couldn't help feeling a surge of anticipation.
Looking at Sasuke again, he has indeed changed a lot since he saw his parents resurrected.
The boy who always had a stern face and exuded loneliness and hatred now seems to have become much more cheerful.
There was no longer only coldness and determination in his eyes, but also warmth and tenderness.
He began to re-examine his life and goals, and cherished the people around him more.
Sasuke will actively communicate with Kimimaro and share his thoughts and feelings.
He no longer closes his heart like he did in the past, but tries to open his heart and accept others.
This change made Naruto feel very relieved. He knew that Sasuke had experienced too much pain and suffering, and it was not easy for him to come out of the haze and find himself again.
Kimimaro also noticed the change in Sasuke, and his attitude towards Sasuke changed from initial vigilance to respect.
The relationship between the three became more harmonious and their trust in each other continued to deepen.
On the way to Nadeshiko Village, Sasuke's cheerfulness also added a lot of joy and vitality to the entire journey.
He would occasionally tease Naruto and discuss issues concerning Kimimaro's training.
But when he talked about his father's gouged eyes, Sasuke felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He naturally didn't know that it was Naruto who gouged out his father's eyes, and Naruto, feeling guilty, could only blame the matter on the already dead Danzo.
After all, these eyes are meant to help Sasuke achieve the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The three of them headed towards Fushiko Village.
On this day, a space portal suddenly appeared in front of Naruto.
The portal emitted a strange light, which seemed to contain endless depth and unknown, as if it was a passage connecting to another world.
Sasuke and Kimimaro instantly became alert, their eyes fixed on the sudden portal, and their bodies unconsciously took a defensive posture.
"What is this? How did it suddenly appear here?" Sasuke asked in a low voice, his eyes full of confusion and a hint of uneasiness.
Kimimaro frowned, his eyes fixed on the portal, "I don't know, but it feels like something is not simple, so it's better to be careful."
Naruto frowned, feeling an uneasy feeling in his heart.
He was very familiar with the breath coming from the portal. It was Gaara's breath.
With the deep bond between him and Gaara and his keen perception, Naruto immediately realized that something might have happened in the Sand Village.
"It's Gaara's scent. Something might have happened in the Sand Village. It's probably Akatsuki." Naruto said in a low voice.
Sasuke and Kimimaro looked at each other, and they also understood the seriousness of the matter. The Sand Village is inextricably linked to them now, and now that the Sand Village is facing a crisis, they can't just sit back and watch.
"What should we do?" Kimimaro asked with a serious look on his face.
Naruto looked calm, but there was a flash of determination in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said firmly: "Fuck them."
Those two short words seemed to contain endless power and determination.
Without any hesitation, Naruto said as he took the lead and walked into the portal.
Sasuke nodded slightly and followed closely behind Naruto, his eyes also revealing determination.
He never backs down from a fight, especially one that threatens his companions.
