Chapter 991: The Konoha Plan Commences!
Chapter 991: The Konoha Plan Commences!
Jiraiya, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is undoubtedly skilled and renowned.
As the teacher of Minato, Kurenai also acknowledged Jiraiya's guidance, which is why she, like Minato, addressed him as 'Teacher Jiraiya'.
However, Kurenai always believed that ninjas should have four rules instead of three. Besides not abusing ninjutsu, maintaining secrecy, and never revealing one's identity, the fourth rule was to never learn from Jiraiya.
It's common knowledge that Jiraiya is a ninja who has a reputation for being a lecher, and Minato didn't follow his example because of his exceptional abilities and their long-standing relationship.
But when it comes to her son, Naruto, who is as naive as a child compared to Minato, Kurenai worries that he might be led astray by Jiraiya. In her heart, Kurenai believes that the ideal teacher for Naruto is none other than Night City.
There's no need to mention their relationship; Night City's strength and teaching abilities speak for themselves.
In terms of strength, Kurenai believes Night City is the most formidable and talented ninja she has ever seen.
Previously, she always thought her husband, Minato, was unmatched in talent and strength, but after meeting Night City, she realized that even among geniuses, there are differences.
As for his teaching abilities, one only needs to compare Hinata as Minato's student and as Night City's student to see the contrast.
"I won't say anything about myself, but you know, Kurenai, I've sworn to only take female disciples.
And while I admit Naruto is a bit of a fool, you're underestimating your child.
As far as I know, Naruto managed to become Jiraiya's apprentice because of his impressive secret technique, which even impressed Jiraiya."
Upon hearing Night City mention this, Kurenai's face turned fiery, and she punched the wall beside her, saying, "If I find out who taught that kid such a messy technique, I'll make sure to take them down!"
Night City: "Maybe Naruto's talent is so extraordinary that he figured it out on his own?"
Kurenai: "What did you just say?"
Although Kurenai initially had reservations about Naruto becoming Jiraiya's apprentice, after seeing Jiraiya's sincere guidance, she didn't say anything further.
Kurenai herself was well aware that Jiraiya, as one of the Legendary Sannin, wouldn't casually take on an apprentice just because of a so-called 'harem technique'.
The primary reason he accepted Naruto as his disciple was because Naruto is Minato's son.
A few days later, the Chunin Exam took place as scheduled, and Night City and Kurenai successfully infiltrated the venue using Transformation Jutsu.
In the first match, when Naruto fought Neji, who used his Byakugan to seal Naruto's chakra points, Naruto managed to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra due to his recent intensive training and turned the tables, winning the match.
As many spectators applauded Naruto's efforts and remembered his previous words, Kurenai, standing beside Night City, was moved to tears.
Compared to her father Minato's genius, Naruto had always been at the bottom of the class due to the Nine-Tails.
However, as Night City said, aside from being slightly weaker, Naruto's character and willpower had developed exceptionally well, making Kurenai, as his mother, feel incredibly proud.
"The current generation of genin is truly inferior compared to the past.
Aside from the Hyuga brat who was defeated by Naruto, who can execute the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms at this age, the rest of the genin seem rather ordinary."
After witnessing Naruto's victory over the Hyuga clan's genius through sheer determination, Kurenai's mood improved significantly, and she began to critique the subsequent genin.
"This is normal. Compared to us, who lived through the war era, they've been in a peaceful era and lack practical combat experience against enemies, so it's understandable if they fall short.
Remember Orochimaru, the Fourth Kazekage who sat beside the Third Hokage during the second round of the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death?
I reckon he's about to make his move!"
Upon hearing Night City's words, Kurenai was taken aback. Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, had betrayed the village after losing the contest for the Fourth Hokage position to Minato.
Now, he appeared here, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, and Kurenai knew with her small chest that he was up to no good.
"So, this is the reason you said Konoha would take a heavy blow? But even if it's just Orochimaru, the Third Hokage is old, and he can't possibly overthrow Konoha with his strength alone, right?"
"Aside from Orochimaru, Sunagakure has also joined this 'Konoha Crush' plan. Didn't you see they even brought the Jinchuriki as a weapon?"
Night City's words had barely landed when Kakashi appeared with Sasuke, who had returned from his training.
Sasuke unleashed his Chidori, severely injuring the Gourd Brothers, who then went berserk on the spot, officially initiating the Konoha Crush plan.
Unlike the original storyline, Gaara didn't leave the village; instead, he went berserk right at the Chunin Exams.
With the activation of the 'Sleeping Jutsu,' the Iron-Tough Shukaku, calling himself 'Lord,' appeared directly in Konoha.
Even though it was just the 'Sleeping Jutsu' Shukaku, the Konoha genin were powerless against him.
Shukaku fired a single Empty Cannonball, and not only the Twelve Guardian Ninja of Konoha but also numerous Konoha Chunin were blown away!
When the Third Hokage saw the rampaging Shukaku, he was about to seek an explanation from the Kazekage beside him, but a cold glint suddenly pierced toward him.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage, despite his age, had quick reflexes and dodged the 'Fourth Kazekage's' sneak attack. Seeing the Kusanagi Sword in the attacker's hand, he grimaced in pain, "Orochimaru, it's you! Where's the real Fourth Kazekage?"
"Sarutobi, it's been a while. You're still as foolish as ever."
As Orochimaru attacked the Third Hokage, the four extras, including Kidomaru, swiftly formed the Four Violet Flame Formation, sealing off the surroundings. The entire Konoha Village fell into chaos with the invasion of Shukaku and the Sand Ninja.
When Naruto saw his friends injured by Shukaku, his protagonist aura activated, and he successfully summoned Gamabunta by biting his thumb.
Unfortunately, by the time Gamabunta was summoned, Gaara had been under the 'Sleeping Jutsu' for a while, and Shukaku had already unsealed most of his power, far surpassing his strength in the original storyline.
