Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#340 - Itachi God appears~

Looking at the arrowhead that pierced forward for hundreds of meters, then exploded with a bang, blasting the surroundings into shattered fragments.

Jiraiya unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze shifting to the other side, where Liang Yue was sitting in meditation, cultivating.

The light and shadow of the small sapling entwined with lightning and fire was so conspicuous at this moment…

"Ahem~ Well, the power of this ninjutsu is not bad, it's just that the preparation time is a bit long. If the time to complete the technique could be shortened a little, it could be considered an excellent ninjutsu."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his teacherly demeanor in front of Naruto, raising his chin high and looking down at the little blonde.

After racking his brains, he gave his advice.

"Ah~ Hahaha, as expected of the pervy sage, you saw it right away. In fact, when Chunqiu was teaching me before, he also mentioned this shortcoming, but there's nothing I can do about it.

The real Spirit Arrow Technique is originally a very concealed, and can be continuously fired, signless ninjutsu, but when I was practicing, I could never get some of the details right.

So, Chunqiu had me cast this ninjutsu from the palm of my hand, and I succeeded on the first try!"

Naruto heard this, and then scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look.

Looking at the embarrassed little blonde in front of him, with a hint of shyness, Jiraiya's eyes twitched a few times, and then he asked.

"You mean, this Spirit Arrow Technique is originally formed inside the body, and can be fired continuously?"

"Yeah, yeah, like this~"

As he said that, Naruto raised his two index fingers and thumbs to make a pistol shape, making piu~ piu~ sound effects.

"By the way, when we were on a mission in the Land of Waves before, Chunqiu used the Spirit Arrow Technique in actual combat, but he used all ten fingers at the time."

As he said that, the little blonde raised his two hands again, in the shape of Nine Yin White Bone Claws, facing forward, with a fierce expression on his face.

"Like this, swish~, ten Spirit Arrows went out like that, although the power was a little smaller than the one I just did, but the release speed was very fast.

Moreover, the Spirit Arrows he fired could be controlled. Those ten Spirit Arrows strung through that group of bad guys, and then bang~! They exploded!"

"… …"

Looking at Naruto's exaggerated posture in front of him, Jiraiya couldn't help but turn his head again and looked at Liang Yue, who was still cultivating quietly over there.

After scratching his white hair, he turned his head back to Naruto and said.

"Well, tell me the specific cultivation method of this… Spirit Arrow Technique, and I'll study it as well."

After that, for three consecutive days, the relationship between Jiraiya and Naruto seemed to have been reversed.

Naruto, who was originally supposed to be taught, became the teacher instead, responsible for teaching Jiraiya about the cultivation method of the Spirit Arrow Technique.

Because this ninjutsu involves many subtle manipulation methods related to the internal meridians of the human body.

Some of the chakra operation concepts even contradict common sense.

Therefore, even for Jiraiya, a master who has now advanced to the innate level, it still takes some time to master it.

Three days later, Jiraiya finally succeeded in cultivating this ninjutsu.

Then, at Naruto's urging, the three of them set out again on the journey to find Sasuke.

However, their rescue journey seemed destined to be not so smooth.

They had only just left the town for a short while, and had just reached the side of a bridge, when two mysterious people wearing bamboo hats walked towards them.

A faint baleful aura was inadvertently emanating from the two of them.

Jiraiya, who was now a completely different person, felt the malice on them almost immediately.

Liang Yue, on the other hand, had already determined the identities of the two men after seeing the red clouds on their wide black robes.

Only Naruto, this kid, still looked like nothing was wrong, holding the back of his head with both hands, and was about to walk onto the bridge with a smile on his face.

As a result, he was immediately grabbed back by Jiraiya.

"Hey~! Who are you guys? Why are you blocking our way?"

Naruto, who had reacted, immediately shouted at the two people on the opposite side of the bridge.

"Hand over the legacy of the Fourth Hokage, or die."

One of them said in a flat tone at this time, while taking off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome and slightly pale face.

This person, like Liang Yue and others, wore a Konoha ninja forehead protector, but the whirlpool symbol in the middle of the iron plate was crossed out horizontally.

This is the symbol of a missing-nin!

In addition, this person also had a pair of red pupils, and the three-tomoe Sharingan unique to the Uchiha clan~

"Is that~ Itachi-san."

Liang Yue looked at Itachi across the bridge and couldn't help but ask.

"Hyuga, Chunqiu, right… .. Sasuke has been in your care these years."

"Sasuke has been captured by Orochimaru, and we are going to find him and bring him back to Konoha now."

"… … That's none of my business."

"Yo~ So you're an old acquaintance? That makes things easier. Hey~ kid, and that white-haired guy, is that~ Jiraiya? Huh? Why does he look a bit different from the information in the report?

Too young, never mind~ Hand over that blonde brat, and we'll let the remaining two go, how about it?"

The person next to Itachi also took off his bamboo hat at this time, revealing a somewhat eerie face.

At first glance, this person looked like he was crossbred with a shark, with gray-blue skin, an upward-sweeping broom head, and fish gill patterns painted on his cheeks…

"Oh~ By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is~ Hoshigaki Kisame!"

"Is that the Uchiha kid, Uchiha Itachi? I have specifically learned about your affairs before. Frankly speaking, your previous actions were a bit extreme."

Jiraiya ignored Hoshigaki Kisame next to him at this time, but looked at Itachi across the bridge with some regret.

As a member of the older generation in Konoha Village, seeing the genius who once belonged to his own family, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Who knew that his action would directly anger this shark man~

I saw the other party's small eyes squinted at this time, and he pulled out the giant sword wrapped in bandages from behind, and then slammed it forward.

"Today, none of you will be able to leave!"

Saying that, Hoshigaki Kisame began to quickly form hand seals, and then shouted at Liang Yue and the three of them on the other side of the river with a chuuni face.

"Water Style~ Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Then, I saw a spiral torrent composed of water columns suddenly rising on the river surface between the two sides. This water column was a meter thick.

With a whoosh~

After circling in the air twice, it rushed towards the three of them with a surging momentum.

The speed was very fast!

However, just as it approached the shore, this water dragon bullet technique, which flowed like a python, was blocked by a big tree that suddenly grew from the ground.

"Boom~"

The turbulent water instantly washed over the fast-growing trees.

But what was surprising was that the fierce impact of the water did not cause any ripples, but instead seemed to be irrigating and nourishing it.

The big tree towered into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to more than 20 meters. The green tree trunk and leaves fluttered in the wind, and looked particularly vibrant under the reflection of the water droplets.

Needless to say, the person who took action was naturally Liang Yue!
