"Um?"

Jiraiya was startled, unable to recover for a moment, and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in confusion. He thought he had heard wrong what Hiruzen Sarutobi said just now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what he was thinking and repeated: "I said, after I come back this time, I will take Naruto to practice from now on. Haven't you always wanted to take Naruto to practice?"

Although Jiraiya has not returned to Konoha for many years, when the spying information came back, he also expressed his desire to take Naruto to practice in the information, but Sarutobi Hiruzen never agreed to him.

This was one of the reasons why Jiraiya didn't want to return to Konoha.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were indeed confirmed. Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, trying to tell whether he was joking from his expression. Seeing that he looked serious, he didn't look like he was joking.

, Jiraiya gave a bitter smile and said, "Don't you always want me to take Naruto to practice?"

"Today is different from the past. Now that Naruto has grown up, I can now take care of Naruto with confidence. If you had taken care of Naruto since he was a child, don't you have any idea what Naruto would be like if you took care of him from a young age?"

Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya and teased him mercilessly.

"Yeah, it's been twelve years in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast. By the way, how has Naruto been doing in the past twelve years?" Regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen's teasing, Jiraiya pretended not to know, and

It was to sigh about the time and then ask about Naruto's situation.

"Well, Naruto is living a good life and is very good. He even opened a breeding farm in the back mountain. He also has many friends. Now, he has become a qualified chuunin." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Sounds like a good idea." Jiraiya nodded.

"How about it, do you want to take Naruto to practice?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya with a smile on his face. Although he knew in his heart that he could not resist this temptation, he still asked.

He actually had a plan in mind. After all, Jiraiya is a ninja who has inherited the will of fire. He is a ninja who puts Konoha first in his heart. If Naruto worships Jiraiya, he can also accept Jiraiya.

Also the influence.

Don't do anything out of control.

If Naruto wanted to do something detrimental to Konoha, I'm afraid Jiraiya would be the first to stop him.

"Take it, of course I will take it." Jiraiya showed a happy look on his face. This was something he had been looking forward to, how could he give up.

"Okay, since you have decided to take Naruto to practice, then you should find a time to get in touch with Naruto." After finishing speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and continued: "Go out, I am busy here.

.”

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't make a gesture of seeing off his guests, Jiraiya would not want to stay with him. He felt uncomfortable. His wish came true, and Jiraiya went out happily.

After closing the door, he met Sarutobi Hiruzen's secretary in the corridor. Jiraiya rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly called the shadow secretary.

"Jiraiya-sama, what's the matter?" Shadow Secret walked forward, bowed and asked.

"Wait for me here for a moment, and I'll give you something. You can help me deliver it to the Third Generation." Jiraiya said and left.

After a while, Jiraiya came back, holding something wrapped in a handkerchief. With a very solemn look, he handed it to the shadow secret with both hands and said: "This, you take it to the Third Generation now and tell him, no need."

Stare at the crystal ball and take it out if you want to see it."

The shadow secret was very curious as to what was in this handkerchief, but she couldn't look at it. This was her working principle, so she had no choice but to say: "I understand, Jiraiya-sama, I will send it over now."

After saying that, the Shadow Secret went directly to the Hokage's office, knocked on the door and got permission, pushed the door in, put the handkerchief on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, and said: "Jiraiya-sama gave this to you, he said he wanted to see it.

You’ll see when the time comes, no need to use a crystal ball.”

Hearing the words conveyed by the shadow secret, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows. He knew what his student was. Could it be his new drawing book?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little excited. He immediately waved his hand to signal the shadow secreter to go out. After he went out, Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully opened the handkerchief.

As soon as he opened the handkerchief, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up, his chest heaving, obviously very angry.

Because, wrapped in the handkerchief, was a curly black hair, which was Jiraiya's leg hair.

…………

Time goes back to an hour ago,

The chunin selection exam had just ended. Naruto took Mr. Kakashi, Mr. Kai, and some of his friends, Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura, Xiao Li, Shino, Ningji and others to prepare to return.

Dinner at the farm.

On the way back, Shino was indeed the happy star in his circle of friends. When Naruto was talking to Kakashi-sensei, Shino was adjusting the atmosphere.

If you have ambition, the atmosphere will always be warm and will never be cold.

Naruto felt that he was really lucky to have Shino as a friend. He was the lubricant between friends, always keeping their friendship in a comfortable atmosphere and never making anyone feel left out.

.

As they entered the back mountain section, Sasuke's eyes suddenly flickered, because he sensed Orochimaru's aura, right in front, under a tree on the roadside. He didn't know what he wanted to do?

Could it be that he is ambushing there and wants to challenge us?

Sasuke guessed.

But soon, Sasuke gave up this unrealistic guess. With Naruto's strength, he could beat Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru is obviously not a fool and will not come here to seek death.

So, what exactly does Orochimaru want to do?

Orochimaru's concealment is undoubtedly outstanding. In terms of strength, Orochimaru may not be the strongest in the ninja world, but in terms of escape, disguise, and hiding, Orochimaru is undoubtedly the best.

Therefore, when Naruto waited for the group to pass through the mountain road, he did not realize that Orochimaru was hiding aside.

Except for Sasuke who planted the Flying Thunder God mark on Orochimaru.

But Sasuke did not reveal the existence of Orochimaru, because Orochimaru could not jump with Naruto around. On the contrary, he was very interested in what Orochimaru wanted to do.

Hunters must be patient when facing prey. When the prey does not take the bait and reveals its true purpose, the hunter must be patient enough and must not alert the snake.

Wait quietly for the prey to show its fangs.

Sasuke felt that he was the hunter and Orochimaru was the prey.

This is a game of hunter and prey.

Naruto and his party disappeared on the mountain road, and Orochimaru did not come out. After Naruto and his party disappeared, Orochimaru came out, looked at the direction in which they were going, and licked his lips.

After the chunin selection was over, Orochimaru knew that Naruto was going back to the breeding farm. Therefore, Orochimaru squatted on the road where Naruto returned to the breeding farm early. When Naruto came, he could implement his plan.

plan.

After all, I have been practicing in the hotel for so long just for this moment!

Unexpectedly, Naruto was surrounded by a large group of people. Now Orochimaru was confused. So many people were uncertain factors. In order to successfully get Naruto to take the bait, Orochimaru decided not to take action yet.

Waiting for the next opportunity.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Orochimaru returned to the hotel.

Not long after Orochimaru returned to the hotel, there was a knock on the door. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw a card slipped through the crack of the door. Orochimaru didn't need to read it to know that it was an advertisement for a custom shop.

Orochimaru walked over, picked up the card, and glanced at it casually. There was a woman with three dots printed on it, and next to it were some words about ordinary people, female ninjas, and the like, as well as an address.

Orochimaru glanced at it casually and threw it into the trash can. After all, he was a person who had escaped from vulgar taste. He had no interest in this kind of thing.

Just as he threw the card into the trash can, the door rang again. Orochimaru was startled. It was hard to understand that it was a small card again? Is he so dedicated?

"Lord Orochimaru, it's me." Yakushi Kabuto's voice came from outside the room.

Orochimaru opened the door and let the pharmacist come in.

"Lord Orochimaru, tomorrow morning, Naruto will go to the entrance of the village, where he will block people from other hidden villages and want to make friends with them." Kabuto Yakushi said.

"Oh, making friends?" Orochimaru showed a trace of curiosity on his face, and Naruto actually blocked someone to make friends. It just so happened that he also wanted to make friends with Naruto, but he wanted to become a boyfriend and girlfriend with Naruto.

Thus getting Naruto's DNA.

Naruto was invulnerable, so Orochimaru had no way to get Naruto's cells, and he couldn't use force. The only hope was to make Naruto uncontrollably swell up and vomit it out on his own.

That's why Orochimaru used the beauty trap.

"Okay, I understand." Orochimaru nodded.

"Lord Orochimaru, I can't meet you directly in the future. I feel that I have attracted the attention of some people. From now on, we should use dead mailboxes to convey information." Yakushi Kabuto said.

"Well, then be careful and don't expose yourself." Orochimaru warned. Kabuto Yakushi is his very important chess piece in Konoha, and Orochimaru doesn't want Yakushi Kabuto to be exposed.

Medicine Master Kabuto said goodbye and left.

Orochimaru was sitting on the bed, waiting to show off his acting skills on his way to the village entrance early tomorrow morning.

…………

back mountain,

Breeding farm.

The sun in the west looked like someone was pulling it with a rope. Soon, the sun set and darkness gradually fell.

In the yard, a huge bonfire was lit.

Dinner has started.

Because there were so many guests, and there were only two goats suffering from heatstroke, which was far from enough for everyone to eat, Naruto could only choose two goats that did not suffer from heatstroke to slaughter.

There is mutton soup, braised mutton, and roast mutton.

The yard was filled with the aroma of food, the sound of clinking glasses, and laughter. Naruto raised his glass and clinked glasses with Teacher Kai.
