Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 74

Sasuke only felt a blur before his eyes, and the tall figure had already disappeared from the corner of the wall. The next instant, he appeared in front of Naruto.

A large, fan-like hand moved with lightning speed, precisely and forcefully covering Naruto's mouth!

"Sh-!"

The white-haired man tightly covered Naruto's mouth, his brows furrowed, his face showing displeasure at being disturbed. He lowered his voice and warned:

"Honestly, kid, don't shout so loudly! If we get caught, my research project will be completely ruined! This is about sacrificing myself for art, you kids wouldn't understand!"

Naruto's mouth was tightly covered by that rough, large hand, and he could only make muffled "woo woo woo... woo woo..." sounds as he struggled. His bright blue eyes were wide open, and he tried to break free from the other person's control by waving his arms and legs, but the other person was too strong and he couldn't break free at all.

Sasuke, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

'What...what kind of speed is this?!'

'I...I didn't even see his movements clearly...'

Is this white-haired man's strength far surpassed that of Kakashi-sensei?!

Chapter 80 Naruto might be eliminated, but it's unlikely.

The white-haired man chuckled twice, reached out and stopped Naruto, who was trying to rush forward, and then lifted him up.

Naruto's legs lifted off the ground as he struggled, yelling, "Damn it, let me go!"

"Kid, you've got some skills." The white-haired uncle chuckled and put Naruto down on the ground.

Sasuke's expression turned cold.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired man quickly formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Oh!"

A burst of white smoke suddenly exploded, and amidst the swirling smoke, a huge toad appeared out of thin air, with the white-haired uncle standing prominently on its head.

The white-haired man tossed his cloak, struck what he considered an incredibly cool pose, and grinned broadly: "Oh ho ho ho! Listen up, you brats! Standing before you is none other than the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, also known as the Toad Sage, and also the most popular young girl, bestselling novelist, and one of the legendary Sannin—Lord Jiraiya!"

silence.

It looked as if crows were flying across the sky.

Naruto and Sasuke both froze on the spot, as if a string of black lines had fallen from their foreheads, and they were completely petrified.

Seeing the two little ones' astonished expressions, Jiraiya was secretly delighted.

Looks like my entrance was spot-on and really cool!

These two brats must be terrified by my formidable reputation and powerful aura!

However, Jiraiya was really wrong this time.

Naruto and Sasuke's shock had absolutely nothing to do with how he appeared...

In fact, the two of them were not unfamiliar with the name "Jiraiya".

This is because, in the dream, Naruto held this "Lord Jiraiya" in the highest esteem and respect.

Sasuke has been sparring with Naruto in his dream world for the past few days, and he often hears Naruto in his dream world talk about Jiraiya.

In Naruto's dream, Jiraiya is described as a very powerful and wise top-tier ninja.

Many of the ninjutsu and combat techniques that Naruto mastered in his dream world came from the teachings of this toad sage.

For Sasuke and Naruto, the dream Naruto was undoubtedly ridiculously strong, and they had long been filled with curiosity about Jiraiya, who was so respected and admired by such a powerful Naruto.

I thought he would be some kind of unfathomable master ninja, but who knew that what I met in reality was just a perverted old man who liked to peep at women taking baths in the bathhouse!

This stark contrast was something Naruto and Sasuke couldn't accept for a while.

After regaining his senses, Naruto was the first to jump up and down, pointing at Jiraiya and shouting, "What Toad Sage? I think you're the Perverted Sage! You were peeping at girls taking a bath! You're shameless!"

Sasuke crossed his arms and nodded in agreement with a look of disgust: "..."

Jiraiya blushed and quickly protested, "W-What do you mean by spying! I was gathering material, understand?!"

He shook the small notebook in his hand with feigned seriousness, as if he were really conducting research for literary creation.

Naruto rolled his eyes, completely unconvinced.

He leaned closer to Sasuke and whispered, "I think the title of the Legendary Sannin is just a hollow name, completely unreliable! That Orochimaru couldn't even withstand a single move from your brother Sasuke, and this perverted sage is just like that, totally unreliable!"

Sasuke nodded and said with a "+1" in his voice, calmly analyzing, "It seems there is indeed a difference between dreams and reality. The ninja that Naruto admires in his dream could never be like this."

"Eh?!"

Jiraiya was dumbfounded.

What are those two little devils whispering about?

What? Orochimaru couldn't withstand a single attack?

What dream?

This script is wrong!

According to normal procedure, after hearing his name "Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas", shouldn't these two kids at least be full of admiration and have their eyes sparkling with excitement at meeting a big shot?

Just as Jiraiya was bewildered.

Naruto suddenly leaped out of the hot spring and impatiently waved to Sasuke: "Let's go, let's go! Sasuke, let's hurry up and leave! This weird old man is too strange, who knows what other perverted fetishes he might have!"

"Yes."

Sasuke wholeheartedly agreed and followed Naruto.

"Eh?"

Jiraiya then came to his senses.

But Naruto and Sasuke ignored him and ran away without looking back, leaving Jiraiya standing there, staring at the toad beneath him, speechless for a long time.

……

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office.

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was frowning as he slowly puffed on his pipe.

The intelligence scrolls spread out on the table made his expression particularly solemn.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, suppressing his thoughts.

The door opened, and Kakashi walked in.

"Lord Hokage, I'm back."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Kakashi return ahead of schedule, he was not happy at all; instead, his brows furrowed even more.

He asked in a deep voice, "Kakashi, why are you back so soon? Could it be... you abandoned the mission?"

Kakashi habitually scratched the back of his silver hair, a helpless expression on his face, and shook his head as he explained, "Hokage-sama, the mission has been successfully completed. However, the situation was urgent, and I had to speed up the mission and return ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening considerably.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi."

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately remembered the urgent intelligence Kakashi had sent back to the village, and his expression darkened again: "Kakashi, there's something I need to ask you clearly. What was that intelligence all about? You mentioned in your secret letter that you learned of Orochimaru's movements through a special channel and were certain that he would take action against Konoha. What exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing the name "Orochimaru," Kakashi's expression turned serious.

"Yes. The story behind this is actually quite long..."

He immediately gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a detailed report of the whole story.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly, his brows furrowing deeply once more. He took off his pipe and exhaled a smoke ring.

"It's that strange dream again..."

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a loud voice rang out:

"What a strange dream! It sounds quite interesting, old man!"

……

Night falls and the stars are shining.

Sasuke returned home exhausted.

He lay on his bed, his mind still replaying Jiraiya's ordeal.

That guy who called himself the "Toad Sage" really overturned his understanding.

With these chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind, Sasuke drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

After an unknown amount of time, Sasuke gradually regained consciousness.

He frowned slightly, as if he could hear the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves coming from around him.

This sound...

Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes!

The sight before him instantly put him on edge.

The surroundings weren't their familiar rooms, but a dense primeval forest!

Tall, straight, towering trees stand all around, their dense foliage completely obscuring the sky, casting only dappled shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth and moss, with a faint smell of fish and decaying leaves.

Sasuke suddenly stood up, quickly looked around, and his hand had already subconsciously placed on the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

However, he soon discovered that he was not alone.

Leaning against a large, ancient tree, Sakura was quietly taking a nap with her eyes closed.

Her breathing was steady, and her face showed some fatigue, indicating that she had also experienced considerable exertion.

Sasuke looked down at himself and was surprised to find that he was also sitting with his back against the tree.

I was resting here just now?

How is this going?
