LRAB Chapter 277 Backing
Chapter 277 Backing
Konoha Village.
The three people who had just come out of the mission center didn't seem very happy.
Although Gaara survived, the mission failed.
Moreover, it was their first mission, which was somewhat of a blow to the three of them.
"Naruto, I plan to train hard for a while until Master gives me permission before I take on any missions."
Sasuke suddenly spoke as he walked.
Naruto looked at Gaara: "Gaara, what about you?"
Gaara waved his arm, and sand swirled and danced in front of him:
"I no longer have Shukaku, but things are no different from before. I'll have to ask Lord Qianyao about my future cultivation."
"Naruto, what about you?"
Gaara asked with concern.
In Konoha, you can learn ninjutsu by spending money or by earning merits.
But clearly, Naruto doesn't have any of those things.
Unlike Sasuke and Gaara, who have their families as a support, they have plenty of experts and seniors to guide them if they want to train.
The Uchiha clan possesses all of Konoha's ninjutsu, including those they didn't have before.
Naruto, on the other hand, was all alone and had to rely on himself.
Naruto chuckled to himself. Although he didn't have a clan, he did have a mother, and he could always ask her when in doubt.
However, he couldn't say it out loud.
"I'll figure that out myself, Gaara, you don't need to worry."
Sasuke thought Naruto was just putting on a brave face, so he patted Naruto on the shoulder:
"You can learn any ninjutsu you want; I'll ask my master to teach you."
Naruto scratched his head: "Hmm, let me think about it. Let's meet at Training Ground Number Four tomorrow."
Sasuke and Naruto spent the whole night rushing back, and they are both quite exhausted.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
……
After they parted ways, Naruto quickly returned home.
"I am back!"
"Hey, Naruto, what brings you back?" Kushina Uzumaki was frying something with a spatula.
She only knew that Naruto had gone on a mission and that Chiyo would definitely follow, so she wasn't worried.
But they probably won't be back so soon.
Naruto first hugged Kushina, then whined to his mother, "Mom, I missed you so much."
Kushina ruffled Naruto's hair: "Did something happen?"
"Hmm." Naruto was still a little disappointed.
Kushina turned off the fire and pulled Naruto to sit on the sofa.
"what happened?"
Naruto then told Kushina about what had happened during the mission.
"Alright, you're not strong enough to stop it."
"Anyway, Qianyao is here, so don't be discouraged. You're a student who graduated early from the elite class."
Kushina was no match for Naruto, a rookie; she found the mission and the attack somewhat strange.
However, she didn't want to use her brain; asking Qianyao directly would be faster.
At this point, all you need to do is encourage Naruto.
Hearing his mother's encouragement, Naruto grinned foolishly.
After all, the feeling of being cared for is what he needs and loves most.
"Mom, Sasuke is going to learn a new technique, and I want to learn a new technique too. What do you think I should learn?"
To be honest, Kushina had never considered this question before.
After all, in her eyes, it was enough that Naruto had learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique at such a young age.
However, since Naruto wants to learn now, it's acceptable to teach him the Rasengan.
After all, it was a technique that Minato created for her based on the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, how to teach him is a problem, even though the Hyuga clan doesn't monitor Naruto's family affairs now.
However, Kushina's identity cannot be revealed, and not everyone knows how to use the Rasengan.
"Let me think about it. You go and tidy up the kitchen first."
"Good mother."
Naruto went to the sink, poured out the black stuff from the pot, and skillfully started washing the dishes.
Although Kushina taught him how to fry eggs and sausages.
But Naruto later learned that it was actually Kushina's specialty.
More complex dishes, when made by Kushina, were basically considered culinary disasters.
Although Kushina has been able to eat ordinary dishes for the past two years.
However, Kushina has a great love for cooking and often comes up with strange ideas to make things.
Therefore, the responsibility of washing pots and pans fell to Naruto, which is why he is so skilled at it.
Kushina sat down on the sofa not because she wanted to, but because she was contacting Chiyo.
Although this body is a clone of Qianyao, Qianyao has severed all perception of this place.
Chiyo will only be awakened if Kushina takes the initiative to contact her.
The other clone, disguised as Maitreya, was the same.
"Qianyao, Qianyao..."
Kushina called out to him repeatedly in her mind before the consciousness of Chiyo's clone finally came online.
"What's wrong, Kushina?"
Kushina then told Naruto about his desire to improve.
This clone then began to call upon the original.
Because of the lack of synchronization, this clone was unaware of recent events, so it left the original body to handle them.
Qianyao himself switched his consciousness and understood the situation:
"That's no problem. I'll personally teach Naruto how to use the Rasengan."
Kushina exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Senyou knows the Rasengan?"
Qianyao smiled and said, "No, but I know how Naruto trained the Rasengan, so it's not a problem."
Kushina knew about the precognitive abilities of the Thousand Shining Eye Technique, so she had no objections.
"What's the deal with Naruto's mission this time?"
Qian Yao laughed and said, "I planned this mission myself, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Once he starts learning the Rasengan, you can let Minato meet him."
"Really!?" Kushina was both surprised and delighted.
Qianyao responded, "Letting Naruto know about Minato is also a way for me to put pressure on the Third Hokage."
“Naruto is old enough to know who his father is.”
"I understand, Qianyao, thank you."
……
Yuyin Village
Kakuzu's office.
"Elder Chiyo, we meet again."
Chiyo and Maki came together this time, bringing with them a full fifty elite soldiers.
Kakuzu and Chiyo had met before during the last battle for the mineral vein, so they were quite familiar with each other.
"Mr. Kakuzu, how have you been?"
Chiyo also exchanged a few pleasantries with Kakuzu.
She looked around but didn't see Sasori of the Red Sand, feeling somewhat disappointed, but she didn't show it and instead said directly:
"Was the mission successful?"
Kakuzu took out a teacup and placed it on the table next to him: "The mission is complete."
Even inside the seal, the people of Sunagakure could still sense Shukaku's powerful chakra.
Suppressing his excitement, Maki took out a scroll containing money from his person.
"Mr. Kakuzu, this is the payment for this."
Kakuzu opened the scroll, which contained dozens of boxes.
He opened the boxes one by one, and they were all filled with large sums of money.
Kakuzu slowly started counting the money.
This kind of work might be tedious and boring for some people, but Kakuzu finds it very enjoyable.
He rarely has the opportunity to order so much money.
Although Sunagakure was anxious, they could only watch as Kakuzu slowly made his move.
As Kakuzu counted the money, he said to Sunagakure:
“Master Zenku said that after Shukaku takes it back, children are not allowed to be used as jinchūriki.”
The people of Sunagakure were quite surprised. Maki asked, "Master Zenku, what do you mean?"
Kakuzu, distracted, said, "What do you mean? The literal meaning."
Ma Ji's expression changed: "Isn't Master Chan Kong being a bit too nosy?"
Kakuzu snapped open the new box and continued counting the money:
“Master Zenku said that if you continue to use children as jinchūriki, he will once again extract the tailed beast.”
Maki's expression changed drastically. Being targeted by Zenku, a powerful individual who specializes in dealing with Jinchuriki, was not a good thing.
"Whether you listen or not is your business; I'm just here to relay the message."
"Yes, the money is right, take it with you."
Kakuzu put the money away and then pushed the teacup to Maki.
Maki took the teacup, and with a complicated expression, he and Chiyo left.
