"Orochimaru, you're too slow."
Jiraiya, wearing an armor, spoke to Orochimaru.
The armor on his body, like those of Orochimaru and Tsunade, was of the sa style, remnants from the Second Great Ninja War.
"Heh heh, if it weren't for leading the team, you wouldn't hear until tomorrow." Orochimaru said.
"Haha, just kidding."
Jiraiya laughed heartily.
However, Orochimaru remained expressionless.
Jiraiya laughed for a while. After realizing that Orochimaru didn't find it amusing, he retracted his previous playful expression.
Orochimaru said, "Asuma, give the scroll to Jiraiya."
Asuma was stunned, realizing that the real scroll was in his hands. He quickly handed the scroll to Jiraiya.
After Jiraiya accepted it, he sent a ninja to lead Kiyoshi and the others to rest here for the night.
Once only Jiraiya and Orochimaru remained, Jiraiya asked, "How is Kiyoshi performing?"
Last ti, when Tsunade had lost money gambling and borrowed money from him, she had ntioned Kiyoshi.
This made Jiraiya recall the guy who had perford excellently in the Chunin Exams.
"Honestly, even I was startled." Orochimaru licked his lips.
The talent of the Uchiha clan is truly admirable. No, the most important thing is Kiyoshi's thinking.
Orochimaru believed that Kiyoshi was not the kind of ninja who only relied on his kekkei genkai, as evidenced by his understanding of biological research, indicating he had conducted many studies in private.
Ninjas who possess scientific research and want to explore the truth are quite rare.
Most ninjas study the nature transformation of chakra, train according to experience, or create a ninjutsu.
They don't understand the underlying principles.
"Is that so?" Jiraiya murmured.
He had traveled around the corners of the world, searching for the Child of Prophecy.
Either that person would bring great changes to the world.
Or they would bring world-destroying disasters.
Finally, he encountered three children in the Land of Rain, one of whom, had red hair, and possessed the Sage's Eye – Rinnegan, which was rumored to only have been possessed by the Sage of Six Paths.
At that ti, he believed that Nagato was the Child of Prophecy and took in the three children, carefully nurturing them.
Unfortunately, many years have passed, and now he rarely hears information about Nagato and the others, and the exchange of letters has beco less and less frequent.
Later, he also thought that Minato seed a bit like the Child of Prophecy.
And now, Jiraiya saw Kiyoshi.
The Great Toad Sage had never said that the Child of Prophecy wasn't an Uchiha, right?
"Heh heh, it seems that only peeping into the won's bathhouse can make you concentrate."
Orochimaru said, seeing Jiraiya distracted.
"I'm gathering material, gathering material, understand? You don't understand the pleasures of n at all."
Jiraiya waved his hand, not wanting to pay attention to Orochimaru.
His gaze stretched to the departing Kiyoshi. With that talent, it is enough to attract his attention.
…
The tents at Jiraiya's base and Kiyoshi's were of the sa style, both Konoha military tents.
When Kiyoshi was led to a separate tent, he exchanged a few words with Kurenai and the others before going inside.
Whoosh!
Flas ignited from Kiyoshi's palm, and then shimring lightning suddenly appeared.
The two combined into crimson electric arcs that wrapped around Kiyoshi's palm.
Then, Kiyoshi controlled them to spread towards his wrist.
The crimson electric arcs gradually beca stained with a layer of purple from Mōryō's power, adding a bit of eerieness.
'After learning Sage Mode, my ninjutsu will probably be amplified to a terrifying rank.' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Now, due to [Natural Ninja (Purple)], his training speed of all ninjutsu has beco very fast.
The Lightning Fire Chakra Mode he had envisioned will soon appear.
If Sage Mode is superimposed, becoming Sage Art: Lightning Fire Chakra Mode, his body can be strengthened one more ti.
Normal Sage Mode can be seen as the first boost.
This is an unknown path.
Whether it is the three traditional Sage Modes or the Curse Seals, there is no precedent for using Sage Arts to amplify oneself.
The next day
Soone ca to find Kiyoshi early in the morning.
Kurenai pulled Kiyoshi out to eat, saying that she didn't want to eat dry food anymore.
When Kiyoshi arrived, he found that there was a small pot here.
Asuma diligently stoked the fire and poured water, seemingly wanting to show off his cooking skills in front of Kurenai.
Not only him, but others involved in this operation were also present.
Natsu secretly raised her eyes to look at Kurenai, who was talking and laughing with Kiyoshi, and her eyes couldn't help but dim a little.
Kiyoshi's interest in her is likely just a matter of novelty. But she has no way out.
She has already given Kiyoshi the most precious thing a woman has.
Suddenly, Natsu thought of a terrible thing. She is now a healthy woman and has reached that age.
There were no asures taken last ti.
What if…
Thinking of this, Natsu's face turned pale.
"Natsu, are you feeling unwell?" Tetsu asked with concern.
"It's nothing."
Natsu shook her head gently.
She felt that she wasn't qualified to carry Kiyoshi's child.
"Co on, everyone, eat."
Asuma distributed the bowls, and everyone sat around a small pot.
After being on edge for so long, it would be great to have a bowl of soup after resting for the night.
"Not bad, Asuma, didn't see that coming."
After Tetsu tasted a mouthful, he found that although it wasn't particularly delicious, it wasn't unpleasant to drink.
Before this, he hadn't expected the crown prince to also do these things.
"Hehe." Asuma smiled.
In order to leave a good impression on Kurenai as much as possible, he had secretly put in a lot of effort.
Several people held bowls filled with hot soup, chatting back and forth.
When the atmosphere gradually heated up, Natsu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Kiyoshi… Kiyoshi-kun, I'm feeling a little unwell, can you help take a look later?"
Kiyoshi, who was talking with Kurenai, stopped and turned to look at Natsu.
"Where do you feel unwell?" Kiyoshi asked.
"It's my stomach." Natsu replied.
The conversation between the two made the voices of the others quieter.
"What's the reason, did you eat sothing wrong?"
Kiyoshi asked, like a responsible dical ninja.
"It's… it's…"
Natsu stamred, her earlobes turning red.
All the people around were her classmates.
Regarding that day…
Natsu's face would flush whenever she recalled it, unable to forget it for a long ti.
"What is it?" Tetsu asked eagerly.
If eating sothing unclean caused stomach discomfort, then it would be better to say it directly.
What is Natsu hesitating about?
"Maybe it's the schedule of the past few days, I'll take a look at you later."
When Natsu was about to cry out of sha, Kiyoshi interrupted, letting her tears ultimately not fall.
Everyone present knew that Kiyoshi was a dical ninja, so Kiyoshi's reply was taken as normal.
