#121 - Chapter 121 I admit that I spoke too loudly just now The Sound Four

"Isn't there a better way?"

Jiraiya murmured.

He tried to put himself in Itachi Uchiha's shoes and realized that he didn't have a good solution either.

Either fight against the Hidden Leaf's higher-ups with the clan, or fight against the Uchiha clan with the Hidden Leaf's higher-ups!

It was a dilemma.

"Maybe there is, but it's all too late," Naruto said.

Everyone was dead, wasn't it too late?

Although Jiraiya felt sorry for the deaths of so many people, they were not people he cared about too much, and he had seen too much death already, so he quickly adjusted his mood.

"What did Itachi Uchiha tell you?" Jiraiya asked Naruto.

"Want to know information about the Akatsuki?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at Jiraiya and chuckled, "Pay me for it, one million taels per piece of information!"

"......"

Jiraiya feigned anger and said, "I'm your teacher, how can you charge me money?"

"What? Don't want to pay? Then go find the Akatsuki yourself, I reckon you won't even find their headquarters in a few months!" Naruto teased with a faint smile.

Time might not be valuable to Jiraiya, but it was important to the Hidden Leaf!

The sooner they knew the Akatsuki's conspiracy, the sooner they could stop them and protect the safety of the Hidden Leaf!

But looking at Naruto's indifferent appearance, it seemed that this Akatsuki was not as dangerous as he had imagined?

Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Orochimaru...

Okay, I was overthinking it!

This kid Naruto doesn't care, either he has no concept of who the Akatsuki are, or he is too confident in his own strength and is starting to have a mental breakdown.

"Naruto, I hope you don't care so much about money when it comes to matters of right and wrong!"

Jiraiya said with a serious face, "The Akatsuki's affairs not only concern your personal safety, but also the safety of the Hidden Leaf! As a Hidden Leaf ninja, shouldn't you selflessly dedicate the information you obtained for the sake of the Hidden Leaf?"

"Yeah, you make sense."

Seeing Naruto agree with him, Jiraiya's face lit up, thinking he had succeeded with his talk-no-jutsu, but Naruto's next words made him feel as if his parents had died!

"Since you understand contributing to the Hidden Leaf so well, then give me all your money, so that I can safely hand over the information to you!"

"After all, if you can't prove that you don't care about money, how would I know if you would sell out the Hidden Leaf for money?"

???

Dude, are you rebelling?

Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a dumbfounded expression, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything!

"What? Reluctant?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya, who was hesitant to speak, and teased.

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya said with a mournful face, "Naruto, I admit that I spoke too loudly just now, how about the previous price? One million taels for one piece of information? I definitely won't bargain!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to say that earlier? You're wasting both of our time, aren't you?"

Naruto chuckled and threw Gamabunta's wallet to Jiraiya, "One million for one piece of information! Throw it in there!"

Looking at the small Gamabunta in his hand, a trace of doubt flashed across Jiraiya's face, but he quickly stopped caring, "I don't have that much money with me, my money is all in the bank."

"Then come back and talk when you get the money."

Naruto said and was about to leave.

Jiraiya hurriedly said, "Can't I get credit?"

"Small business, no credit! And... I don't trust your credit!"

"......"

Watching Naruto walk away completely, Jiraiya looked helpless and could only go to the bank to get money first.

Fortunately, the Land of Snow is not short of merchants passing through, and banks have been established early to facilitate these merchants' transactions!

Without these banks, he would have to go to other countries to exchange it!

It would be impossible to do that in less than a month!

......

"Naruto! Something bad happened!"

Naruto had just separated from Jiraiya when he encountered Sakura running over in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

"Sasuke... Sasuke is gone!"

"Sasuke?"

Naruto activated his Observation Haki, but did not find Sasuke in the Daimyo's mansion, nor did he find Sasuke in Hakukawa Castle!

He ran away on his own?

Why?

Naruto frowned and expanded his Observation Haki again, covering the entire Land of Snow!

This time he finally discovered Sasuke's whereabouts!

At this time, Sasuke was being held in a barrel by four people and was heading out of the Land of Snow, and was about to reach the port for departure!

'Interesting, is Orochimaru here to kidnap someone?'

Although he originally had no intention of stopping Sasuke from going to Orochimaru, leaving without saying goodbye was a bit disrespectful to him!

Without explaining to Sakura, Naruto directly turned into golden light and disappeared on the spot!

This made the originally flustered Sakura even more nervous!

In less than a few seconds, Naruto caught up with the Sound Four who were running away!

"Coming to my territory to kidnap someone, without even saying hello?"

Naruto descended from the sky and stopped Kidomaru and the others.

"Tch, we were discovered!" Sakon and Ukon raised their eyebrows.

The four of them had seen Naruto's strength during the Chunin Exams, and before they came, Orochimaru had seriously reminded them not to clash with Naruto!

Once they encountered a situation where they had to fight, they had to find a way to bring Sasuke back even if it meant risking their lives!

So after seeing Naruto, the four of them directly activated their Cursed Seal Level 2 state!

Under the effect of the Cursed Seal, the four people's chakra, strength, and speed were greatly improved!

But in Naruto's opinion, that was all there was to it!

"Want to fight?"

Naruto stretched out his finger and beckoned, "Come and try!"

"Don't look down on people, brat!"

"Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome!"

Jirobo, who had an egghead hairstyle, slammed his hands on the ground and directly used a semi-circular earth bag to trap Naruto.

Although the Earth Prison Dome only has the hardness of rock, it has a strong recovery power, and any attack and destruction can be restored in an instant!

In addition, Jirobo can also absorb other people's chakra through the Earth Prison Dome!

It sounded like it was very powerful, but before Jirobo could absorb chakra, a burst of golden light erupted from inside and destroyed all of his earth bags!

No matter how fast it recovers, it can't recover if it's destroyed all at once.

Naruto walked out of the smoke unscathed, and then casually shot a beam of laser to cut off Kidomaru's ultimate move, Spider Web Arrow: Deadly Split, while also piercing through his brain!

"Kidomaru!"

No one expected that Jirobo, who attacked first, didn't die, but Kidomaru, who ambushed, died!

"Damn it!"

Tayuya summoned three Angry Demons, and then blew the flute in her hand to control the three Angry Demons to attack Naruto.

But facing the three Angry Demons, Naruto killed them all with a laser beam for each demon!

Seeing this, Tayuya was frightened, and was at a loss when she found that Sakon, Ukon, and Jirobo were ambushing Naruto from behind!

"Don't!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Naruto turn one of his fists black and punch the void behind him fiercely.

Bang!!!

The terrifying shock wave directly turned Sakon, Ukon, and Jirobo into ashes, and also pierced through a snow mountain!

Seeing this scene, Tayuya sat down on the ground blankly, staring numbly at the snow mountain cave that Naruto had punched out.

Is this human power?

Even Lord Orochimaru can't use such power so easily, right?
