Chapter 158: The Disaster-Ridden Konoha Village (Subscription Request)

After a long absence, there are always many things to share between friends.

As ninjas, what they can share with each other is the changes in strength.

"The fifth generation taught me some of the techniques that my father and mother mastered and developed during their lifetime, but... there are some things that he, as a teacher, doesn't understand, so he can't teach me, and only gave me some of their study notes."

In front of the Ichiraku noodle stall, there is a corner of the seat like a bar that was vacated by other customers.

Slurping ramen, Naruto turned a blind eye to the eyes of others around him.

Before, he was an alien and a monster in the eyes of everyone.

They all looked at him with hatred and rejection.

And now, he is a hero in their eyes, the son of Hokage.

They all looked at him with kind and flattering eyes.

But in general, he felt the same, and he didn't care anymore.

Sitting next to him, Ryosuke also turned a blind eye to the eager eyes around him.

"You should be talking about the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. These two types of techniques are indeed difficult to perform. If you want to master them, you have to have both luck and ability."

Ryosuke also slurped his noodles, "But... did you take Tsunade-senpai as your teacher?"

These two techniques are standard for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, so he doesn't need to hide them and pretend that he doesn't know.

What surprised Ryosuke was that Tsunade was willing to accept Naruto as her disciple. Naruto has the Nine-Tails in his body, and it is not easy to inherit her mantle.

Of course, this is under the premise that they don't know the information about the complete tailed beast transformation.

If Naruto can get the approval of the Nine-Tails and enter the complete tailed beast transformation stage, he will not cut off the road of medical ninja because of the violent and uncontrollable tailed beast chakra.

But they don't know now.

"This is the choice I made after summarizing my current situation."

Naruto stopped eating noodles and took out a small notebook from his arms. "In addition to what you said, the control of chakra is not enough. I also lack the learning of sealing techniques. After all, I am a Jinchūriki."

The notebook he unfolded was filled with dense small words.

Ryosuke glanced at it and saw the analysis of his current situation.

"The teacher is willing to accept me as a disciple because she had a good relationship with my mother."

"As a medical ninja, the teacher has unique insights in chakra control. It just so happens that whether it is sealing techniques or controlling the power of tailed beasts, I need to practice chakra control as a basis."

"And I found that I seem to have a certain degree of talent in Yang escape techniques, although because of the chakra of the tailed beasts, it is difficult for me to learn and master medical ninjutsu..."

He explained the reason for his apprenticeship bit by bit. If there was no content in the original timeline of Naruto apprenticeship to Jiraiya, Ryosuke might really think that Tsunade is the most suitable teacher for Naruto.

But he would not stop it, after all, this was Naruto's own choice.

"Ninjutsu is the category I am best at since I was a child. Although it is affected by the Five Elements Seal, it is still my best. Now under the guidance of the teacher, I have gradually made up for the defects in chakra control, so this will be my strongest point."

When it comes to practice, Naruto is really immersed in it. "Illusion is my weakness, but with the influence of the Nine-Tails, most illusions don't seem to have much effect on me, but I will try to solve it later."

"Finally, it's physical skills. Although I can't say that I am proficient in physical skills, I have been practicing since I was a child."

"The strange power technique that the teacher taught me is based on the two premises of chakra control and chakra quantity. As I practice more, I can use it sometimes and sometimes not."

I listened to him while eating noodles. When I finished eating noodles, Naruto just finished explaining.

"It's very comprehensive."

Ryosuke praised without hesitation.

It's indeed as Naruto said, compared with the single attack method in his original timeline, the chosen son who relied on recklessness all the way and talked until the end.

Now, Naruto, who has gradually mastered the three techniques of ninjutsu, is more in line with the strength and maturity that a person who carries destiny should have.

But unfortunately, this Naruto may not be able to carry destiny. His character is no longer the kind of guy who can devote everything and sacrifice himself for others.

"I said, after I have a direction, I will catch up with you at a very fast speed."

He raised his head proudly. After contacting more people and things, Naruto also put more and more attention on practice. Only when he improves his strength will he not be tired of being trapped in a mystery.

"But... you said before that you have something important to ask me. Isn't it this?"

Ryosuke turned his head with some doubts.

When it comes to this, the pride on Naruto's face is obviously restrained, and his emotions fluctuate quickly.

"No."

He shook his head, "After dinner, let's go to the old place to talk. This matter is a bit complicated..."

Because it was just the beginning of spring, the sun was still a bit scorching at noon.

The old place Naruto mentioned was, of course, the cliff above the Hokage Rock.

But when they saw the scorching sun splashing on the flat ground, both Naruto and Ryosuke could feel the heat all over their bodies. After thinking for a while, they still did not look at the scenery of Konoha Village, but casually found a shady place.

"It's about Sasuke..."

There were only the two of them around, and Naruto, who had been hiding it, finally let go, "Ryosuke, you should know about Sasuke and his brother Uchiha Itachi."

"Of course, Uchiha Itachi killed all the Uchiha clan and fled the village. Everyone in the village knows about this."

Ryosuke nodded, and he had already guessed what Naruto was going to say.

"That's not what I meant... I mean, what is the truth behind Uchiha Itachi's extermination of the clan."

From beginning to end, Naruto did not use an interrogative tone, but said with a very positive attitude, "Ryosuke, you should know about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, and the reason why Uchiha Itachi exterminated the clan."

He seemed to think that Ryosuke knew everything.

But that was the truth.

"I know a little bit. After all, although the relationship between Uchiha and our Hyuga is not so friendly, as competitors, they are also the ones who know each other best."

Ryosuke did not deny it.

In Naruto's eyes, he has long been a mysterious and powerful person.

"This is what bothers me the most."

Naruto's expression was extremely complicated. "The Fifth Hokage had basically no defense against me, and even intended to train me to be his successor. In addition, because of my teacher's relationship, I can basically read the files in the village at will."

"Many things that only the upper echelons of Konoha can know, I, a Genin, can take a look because of my status."

"Some time ago, Uchiha Itachi invaded the village, and I had a good impression of Sasuke, so I went to look for information on this aspect. As a result... I discovered some unusual things."

Speaking of this In the room, he smiled bitterly, "I really don't understand what kind of illusion the so-called Will of Fire is, which can make so many people immersed in it, and even pay the painful price of exterminating the clan and betraying the village, and still want to protect it."

"Uchiha Itachi's previous invasion seemed to be aimed at me, but in fact the purpose was to remind the village's top leaders to remember the previous agreement."

"He... is actually a spy sent by the village to lurk in the ninja world, and his actions against his family were also carried out with the tacit consent of the village."

Naruto couldn't describe what kind of thoughts he had in his mind after seeing this information.

How could he be such a stupid person? This was the first thought that emerged in his mind.

"I can see the situation clearly at that time. Although once their clan and the village started fighting, no matter which side won, the other side would not benefit, but this solution..."

He couldn't speak anymore because he didn't know how to describe it.

In order to protect the village and prevent his family from becoming an enemy of the village, Uchiha Itachi chose to kill everyone in his family, including his parents.

What kind of brain circuit can come up with such a solution? And this mentality is something that he, who has not been infected by the will of fire, cannot understand.

"Maybe it's the influence of blood. Uchiha people are always more radical and strange."

Ryosuke couldn't explain this matter. After all, he was not the person involved, Uchiha Itachi, and didn't know what he was thinking at the time.

"Although Sasuke is not very familiar with Ryosuke, he and I have a good relationship. We were classmates, teammates, and now... competitors."

Naruto scratched his head in distress, "We have come a long way."

"And after knowing these things, I always feel that he and I are very similar. We are like two different people who are walking on the same destiny."

"We are both people who are exploring step by step in the fog of deception and loneliness."

"I want to tell him the truth about this matter, so that he will not misunderstand his brother, but I also... don't know how to start. If he knows about this, he may collapse directly, right? After all, his idea is so simple, and he keeps moving forward with the purpose of killing the other party."

He turned his head and looked at Ryosuke with a confused look.

"You two are indeed very similar."

Ryosuke sighed at Naruto's confusion, "Do you remember the answer I gave you when you first came to our house to find your father's identity?"

After a pause, Naruto hesitated for a moment and said, "...It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it?"

"Yes, although part of the reason is that your identity is too sensitive, but part of it is that you didn't have the psychological endurance to accept this fact at that time."

Ryosuke nodded, "Uchiha Sasuke now is just like you and me back then."

"I know a lot of things, but I can't tell you, even if we are friends."

"Before you have a relatively mature thinking framework as a basis, I will rashly tell you the facts, which will only make you make irrational choices. Instead of me telling you, it is better for you to explore, think and accept it yourself."

Naruto tried to ask, "...What about me now?"

"I'm sorry, I can't give you any direction."

Ryosuke spread his hands, "Although the situation you and Uchiha Sasuke are in is somewhat similar to what you and I were in the past, you are different individuals and personalities after all."

"The path that applies to you may not be accepted by Uchiha Sasuke, and..."

"You are his friend, aren't you? If you really want to intervene in this matter as a friend, you can only consider it."

"But I..."

Naruto was about to say something.

But suddenly, a very subtle roar sounded from a very far distance.

It was from the direction of the village entrance!

"...Wait."

Ryosuke stood up and raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak.

What he can easily perceive with his five senses now, others may not be able to perceive.

Even Naruto is the same.

"What happened?"

Naruto asked in confusion.

"It looks like... there are invaders again, and there are quite a few of them."

Ryosuke's Byakugan had already opened unconsciously, without the obvious external features of the other Hyuga.

When he opened it, there was only a little light in his eyes.

One, two, three...

Numerous Mist Shadow invaders gathered at the entrance of the village at some point.

No one knew how they bypassed the border defense forces and came to Konoha Village in the center of the Land of Fire, and there were still such a large number of them.

"They are from the Hidden Mist Village."

Ryosuke said casually, and his figure had already jumped up and ran down the mountain.

And Naruto followed closely behind.

"The Mist Shadow people? Why... do they appear at this time?"

"Destroying peace, aren't the Mizukage of the Mist Shadow afraid of the gathering and attack of the Alliance Ninja Army?"

One question after another came out of his mouth, but Ryosuke did not answer.

He had no absolute arguments for these things, so he couldn't explain them with confidence, but he had a lot of guesses.

Ryosuke looked at Naruto beside him, "In short, you go to the Hokage Building to inform the Fifth Hokage. It will take a long time for the ninjas at the entrance of the village to rush back to the center of the village to pass on the message. If we go directly from here, it will be much faster."

"Okay."

Naruto nodded and turned around and ran towards the Hokage Building without hesitation.

Ryosuke continued to go to the entrance of the village.

For the invasion of Kirigakure, which should not have existed, his thoughts had a rough outline in a very short time.

Kirigakure should still be in chaos under the revenge of Uchiha Obito, which means that this invasion plan may have been promoted under the influence of Obito.

The reason should be the subsequent impact after Ryosuke was discovered by him when he was spying on Black Zetsu in the village.

Test...

Although the people have not arrived yet, Ryosuke's eyes have followed his thoughts and have come to the battlefield in front of the gate of Konoha Village.

Although the range was extremely far away, it was difficult for people in the center of the village to detect the enemy's invasion.

However, the Anbu near the entrance of the village could clearly understand the movement and were rushing to the entrance of the village to support the Konoha ninjas who were responsible for guarding the gate.

It took only a few seconds from the time Ryosuke noticed the movement to the time he set off, but there were already a lot of corpses piled up on the open space.

There were ninjas from the Mist Shadow, and there were also ninjas from Konoha.

As for the buildings and walls on both sides of the Konoha gate, they had already collapsed under the bombardment of ninjutsu.

However, Ryosuke's eyes were not here, scanning the crowd, he was looking for any difficult guys in this invasion.

He guessed that the purpose of this invasion plan was that Black Zetsu made arrangements to test whether Konoha Village had any hidden combat power.

And since it was a test, then... he needed to send enough ninjas to gain something from this test.

Thinking in his heart, Ryosuke's eyes had found several more eye-catching figures in the crowd, but... he was a little disappointed in his heart.

Because the fighting power of these guys seems to be not enough.
