Building the Naruto World

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Don't You Have Any Self-Awareness?



"Kisame, withdraw!" Seeing Jiraiya arrive, Itachi, who had already broken one of Sasuke's arms, prepared to retreat.

Itachi had three objectives for this trip. First, to convey some information about Akatsuki to Konoha. Second, to show Konoha his strength – their village's strongest ninja on the surface, Kakashi, was instantly defeated by him – so they shouldn't touch Sasuke, or he wouldn't know what might happen. Third, to check on Sasuke's condition. Now that all were accomplished, he believed it was time to withdraw.

Kisame spat out water, replacing the oil in Samehada's belly. The oil was still burning when it dripped onto the toad intestines Jiraiya had summoned. However, this toad was no ordinary one; it was a toad that could breathe fire and wasn't afraid of burning.

"Don't even think about running! Itachi!" Sasuke's one arm hung limp, the sword in his hand crackling with lightning as he chased after him.

Itachi looked down at his uniform, feeling a bit pleased inwardly. A sword cut on his clothes indicated Sasuke had been working very hard. Sorry, Sasuke, your strength is still insufficient. Big brother needs to help you one more time. Although it will be very painful, I believe you will get through it.

While running, Itachi suddenly turned his head, his eyes already transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan: "Tsukuyomi!"

Sasuke instantly collapsed, his eyes lifelessly watching the retreating figure: "Uchi...ha...Itachi!" His voice was weak and intermittent.

"Don't think you can escape!" Jiraiya, who was blocking Naruto, controlled the intestinal walls to pursue them.

The corners of Naruto's mouth lifted slightly.

At the same time, on the rooftop, two shadow clones were conversing: "Remember to tell the original 'WTF' for me."

"Okay, they're out. You can go now."

One of them started to emit smoke from the corner of its mouth. The other grabbed it and threw it towards the two figures in the air.

After a tremor in the toad intestines, Jiraiya's expression changed. He ran around a corner and saw fiercely burning black flames.

Naruto, supporting Sasuke, followed behind him, silently lamenting. The shadow clone ambushing on the floor above had been killed by Itachi's shuriken before it could even explode. My clone meant for blowing up Kisame, what does that have to do with you, Itachi? Couldn't you just not use him as support and walk down yourself?

Fine, I'll forgive you this once for Sasuke's sake.

"Pervy Sage, do you know how to set bones?" Naruto asked, leaning Sasuke against the wall. Although his healing ability had astonishing effects, it couldn't correct bone alignment. If it healed without being set properly, Sasuke would be deformed. To correct it then would mean breaking it again.

"Wait a moment." Jiraiya sealed the Amaterasu flames with a sealing jutsu and walked over to check Sasuke's injuries. "Severe mental trauma, fractured and dislocated bones." Jiraiya aligned Sasuke's bones and nodded at Naruto.

"Go ahead and bite. I don't care where you bite this time." Naruto extended his arm to Sasuke's mouth.

"Thanks." Sasuke was listless but could still speak. So many years of being 'nourished' by Naruto, plus a three-tomoe Sharingan, meant his injuries were likely less severe than Kakashi's. Although Naruto had said it, Sasuke still shook his head and bit down on the same spot as before.

"Such an amazing healing ability, no worse than the person we're looking for," Jiraiya exclaimed.

Naruto pursed his lips. Old man, you underestimate this ability too much. Tsunade can't compare to this. Tsunade can't heal Dan, who suffered ruptured internal organs and massive internal bleeding. And Karin, during the Fourth War, healed herself by biting herself after her entire stomach was pierced through. Naruto could also heal internal organ damage, but it didn't work on himself, possibly because of the special way he awakened the ability. Of course, for mere external injuries, like mental trauma, organ disease, bone dislocation, or poisoning, this ability was inferior to Tsunade's.

"Who's there!" Naruto shouted, stopping Might Guy, who was scouting the situation with his forehead protector. Naruto knew Guy would kick Jiraiya next, and he didn't want to interfere. But Jiraiya was currently holding Sasuke's broken bones. If he was kicked away and his hand slipped, pulling the bone out again, even if Sasuke didn't die, he'd pass out from the pain.

"Are you guys alright?" Guy leaped into the room and asked.

"Fine." Jiraiya stomped his foot, and the surrounding intestinal walls began to recede. Naruto curiously touched it, feeling it was quite magical to be able to summon just the intestines without bringing along their contents, and without any odor.

"I'll teach you on the way," Jiraiya said, getting up.

"Oh, okay." Naruto also helped Sasuke up.

"Let's send Sasuke back to the hospital first. He needs to rest quietly," Jiraiya said.

"Mm." Naruto created a shadow clone and sent Sasuke back to Konoha through a portal. He sent him to Kakashi's side; going to the hospital was too troublesome, and Kakashi had to go to the hospital anyway, so it was convenient.

"Is Great Master Uncle going back?" Naruto asked.

"NO~! The hot blood within me doesn't allow me to travel this way!" Guy made a large 'X' with his hands in front of his chest.

"Oh."

"Training on the road, this is youth!" Guy put his hands on Naruto's shoulders, rocking him back and forth.

"O...okay...Great Master Uncle." Naruto nodded in agreement.

Naruto sent a shadow clone to bring the iron weights he usually dragged, preparing to start training on the road.

"Naruto, keep it up!" Guy gave Naruto an "I believe in you" look, extended a thumbs-up, and grinned, his teeth flashing with a strange light.

Naruto shivered.

"Naruto, let's go," Jiraiya said, coming upstairs after compensating the shop owner.

"Mm."

"Wait, Naruto, do you want..." Guy took out a green jumpsuit identical to the one he was wearing.

"No, I'm leaving. Goodbye, Great Master Uncle." Naruto jumped out of the building and ran.

After a while, a portal lit up in the corridor. A shadow clone emerged, looked left and right, and after confirming Guy wasn't there, picked up the spike chipped off Samehada and the Mithril axe from the wall. He had been so scared by Guy earlier that he'd forgotten to clean up the battlefield.

Jiraiya continued traveling with Naruto. He felt Naruto's special ability was truly useful; food, drink, and lodging were no problem at all. It was a completely different style from his previous life of roughing it in the wild. This kid seemed like he was just out on a vacation.

Along the way, Naruto trained continuously. Dragging iron weights was a must. He also frequently sent shadow clones back to Konoha to dig wells, roast pine nuts, and practice playing the piano. Big Brother-in-law will be discharged soon, better practice the song first. With portals, he could be willful. If you're not convinced, Danzo, try using Kotoamatsukami on a shadow clone and see if it works.

The journey to Tanzaku Quarters, where Tsunade was, was uneventful, and they found Tsunade smoothly.

In a small restaurant, the four sat facing each other.

Tsunade and Shizune.

Jiraiya and Naruto.

When Naruto saw Tsunade, only one word came to his mind: Big! Really big! He quickly averted his gaze to Shizune. I have a wife now; I can't pay too much attention to other women.

Looking at Tonton, the pig Shizune was holding, Naruto's eyes revealed disdain. Look at this pig, its meat is firm and tight, it doesn't even jiggle when it moves. Clearly, these two women don't know how to raise pigs. Now look at me.

Inside the seal space.

Naruto, in a Ge You slouch, picked up a bottle of otaku happy water. "Come on, Big Fox, cheers." He downed it in one gulp.

"Brat, I feel like your gaze is off!" The Nine-Tails, in an orange cat slouch against the wall, also took a cup and downed it.

"No such thing. Come on, skewers, skewers."

"I always feel something's not right." Though he said that, the Nine-Tails' hand movements didn't stop at all.

"It's your imagination."

————

Tsunade placed the sake cup on the table, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes hazy. "Brat, what kind of look is that?"

"Old... man, who is she?" Naruto almost blurted out, "Old hag, why are you acting like a coy maiden?"

Don't you have any self-awareness about your own age?
