Chapter 66 Conspiracy
Jiraiya glanced at the two of them, then said to them, "Alright, I'm going to teach you a new special move."
Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto instantly became excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Jiraiya and asked, "What kind of special move is it? Is it a finishing move?"
Jiraiya did not answer Naruto's question immediately, but said to him with a serious expression: "Before I teach you the ultimate technique, you must understand your own situation. You may not have realized it yet, but you actually possess two types of chakra."
To Jiraiya's surprise, Naruto was somewhat aware of his situation.
Naruto said, "I know that sometimes my chakra suddenly surges up, and then my strength suddenly becomes very strong, but I don't know why this happens."
Naruto then looked at Boruto and recalled the last time he triggered this special chakra, saying, "I remember one time, I suddenly couldn't control myself and attacked Sasuke and Boruto."
"Although I don't remember the details of what happened back then, fortunately, the Third Hokage intervened in time and sealed the chakra, which prevented a major disaster."
At this moment, Boruto couldn't help but recall that he had experienced a similar situation when Orochimaru attacked him during the Chunin Exams. Could it be that he also possessed a powerful force like Kurama within him?
Boruto then shook his head, dismissing the somewhat unrealistic idea from his mind; it was indeed a bit far-fetched.
Jiraiya nodded slightly and calmly replied, "I see."
Naruto continued to explain his point of view: "Moreover, the feeling of that chakra is completely different from the chakra that is usually gathered. If we use color as an example, normal chakra is blue, while special chakra is red."
"To be honest, I really hate this special kind of chakra because something bad always happens whenever it appears."
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, then suggested, "Alright, let's end our training here for today. This is a rare opportunity, let's go soak in the hot springs together and let our bodies and minds completely relax."
Boruto was stunned and immediately asked, "What? Is it over already? What about the special move we were promised? We haven't even learned it yet!"
Jiraiya replied, "One must not be impatient in training; taking it slowly will allow you to better master the techniques."
......
After some time, Jiraiya led Boruto and Naruto to an open-air hot spring.
Naruto ran towards the hot spring pool and plunged headfirst into it, splashing a large spray of water, with only his head sticking out.
He closed his eyes comfortably, took a deep breath, and said contentedly, "Wow, it's so warm!" Then he turned to Jiraiya beside him and asked, "Hey, you perverted sage, what exactly is that special technique you were talking about?"
Boruto was also curious about what kind of powerful ninjutsu would be taught by someone who was not only his father's teacher but also his grandfather's teacher.
"Having a drink after training is truly delightful." Jiraiya sat by the hot spring pool, leisurely picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and savored the pleasure brought by the wine.
He replied with a smile, "As for the secret technique you want to know, don't worry, you'll understand naturally tomorrow."
Naruto complained somewhat discontentedly, "Tch, stingy."
Just then, Boruto suddenly felt a strange movement under his buttocks, and then he was lifted up by a huge thing.
Boruto somersaulted in the air and landed steadily in the water. Looking at the giant frog that Jiraiya had summoned, he teased, "Won't it turn into a boiled frog if it stays in the water too long?"
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was immersed in tranquility at night, but beneath the calm surface lurked turbulent undercurrents.
Kabuto Yakushi and Sunagakure Jonin Baki chose a towering building as their meeting place, which offered a panoramic view of most of Konoha.
Maki looked at Kabuto with suspicion and asked in a low voice, "Can that Sound Ninja really take down Naruto?"
Although that Sound Ninja was quite strong, those who could pass the Chunin Exams selection tournament were no ordinary people.
Kabuto shrugged easily, his attitude unusually relaxed, seemingly unconcerned about what was about to happen.
"He is just a pawn in Lord Orochimaru's plan, a pawn that can be discarded at any time. His usefulness has been exhausted. No matter how the operation goes tonight, he will not have the chance to live to see the Chunin Exams."
When Maki heard Kabuto's words, he was surprised. Orochimaru and Kabuto were far more ruthless than he had imagined. They treated their subordinates like pawns and could be easily discarded.
Collaborating with such people carries enormous risks; if they become obstacles at some point in the future, they may face the same treatment, just like that Sound Ninja.
Who knows when they might stab us in the back? We have to be on guard against them at all times.
Moreover, this was originally Otogakure's plan; they would immediately withdraw once they failed.
Maki frowned and raised his question: "I thought that Sound Ninja was a tool you used to test that Uchiha kid's strength."
Kabuto Yakushi responded with a faint smile, "Lord Orochimaru naturally has his own plans for this matter."
Kabuto Yakushi did not intend to reveal any more information. His attitude was clear: he was merely an executor, not a decision-maker, regarding Lord Orochimaru's plan.
Kabuto Yakushi took a sealed scroll from his pocket and handed it to Maki. The scroll was engraved with the symbol of the Sound Village.
"This is the Sound Ninja's resolution, which records the plan we are about to carry out. Now, it's time to tell them the details of this plan."
After receiving the scroll, Maki remained silent for a moment, then said meaningfully, "If our secret conversation here is discovered, then the plan to destroy Konoha will be in vain."
"I heard you're Orochimaru's right-hand man, yet you came to find me after revealing your true appearance. How foolish."
Kabuto Yakushi's lips curled into a wicked smile: "How annoying. To be precise, it wasn't that I was discovered, but that I let him discover me. Well then, I'll take care of this uninvited rat."
A sinister smile appeared on Maki's face: "Let me do it. As a representative of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, I can't not lend a hand to my comrades. Besides, there's only one rat. It'll be easy."
