Naruto: Start By Punching Trees And Shocking Kurama!

"Are you f***ing kidding me!?"

"I've already mobilized the entire force!!"

"And now you're telling me the Land of Grass situation is resolved!?"

Tsunade's expression cycled through disbelief, confusion, and sheer rage as she processed Naruto's words.

Now, the fighting forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages have been gathered, and they are just waiting for Naruto to open the portal and teleport to the Land of Grass to fight.

Not only did Naruto disappear for over an hour, but now he comes back to tell her that the matter is already dealt with??

What did that make them?

A stupid joke?!

Although the major crisis in the Shinobi World has been resolved, Tsunade just couldn't be happy.

She closed her eyes slightly, and kept pulling at the corners of her eyes with her hands, and kept telling herself in her heart, 'There's no need to dwell on it...'

'It's not worth the wrinkles...'

But the more Tsunade thought about it, the angrier she got, unable to calm down.

Seeing Tsunade's state, Jiraiya instinctively inched toward the door. He really didn't want to get beaten up again today.

But just as he was about to walk out the door, Tsunade suddenly smiled sweetly and called his name.

"Jiraiya!"

"Why aren't you wearing your Konoha's forehead protector?"

Jiraiya: "???"

"Wait!!"

"I haven't been wearing one this whole time?"

Tsunade snorted coldly, raised her hand and punched Jiraiya twice on the head.

However, Naruto felt that Tsunade wasn't actually that angry. After all, after being punched twice, the white-haired old man just squatted on the ground and cried in pain.

At least he didn't go flying or pass out.

So she must have gone easy on him.

After Tsunade vented her anger, she seemed to feel much better and turned to Naruto.

"So?"

"This was resolved by that mysterious organization?"

"Pretty much..."

Naruto said this with a strange look on his face.

After all, in this team fight involving Akatsuki, the highest damage dealer wasn't even Pain.

Instead, it was white-haired slacker's good friend… Uchiha Obito.

Looking at how hard Obito was fighting, one might have thought that Orochimaru was his mortal enemy.

No one knew what kind of mood Obito was in when he became the MVP of this team battle.

Tsunade felt even better when she heard that a mysterious organization had taken action.

'What a great organization!'

'Not only were they powerful, but they also took the initiative to resolve this crisis, and with such efficiency.'

If she weren't tied up right now, she'd love to establish contact with this organization properly.

That way, if Naruto caused any more trouble in the future, she could just ask this group to handle it.

"Alright, you two go back now."

"I'll go explain the situation to the other Kage."

Tsunade left those words behind and turned to leave, but just as she was about to exit the door, she turned back.

"Jiraiya, tomorrow you're taking Naruto to Mount Myoboku."

"Naruto, study hard and don't cause trouble."

"You don't want to miss out on the Impure World Reincarnation, do you?"

Hearing Tsunade phrase it like that, Naruto was somewhat speechless.

'Hokage-sama, please stop with that Japanese-style threats!!' (T/N: For those who don't understand, the phrase 'you don't want to…' is usually used in NTR, for when the women try to struggle.)

After seeing Tsunade leave, Naruto went to find Sasuke.

The guy was sitting on the steps, spacing out, looking somewhat downcast.

'Is it because of Medu... Orochimaru's death??'

Naruto sneaked up behind him, patted his shoulder, and spoke in a comforting tone.

"Sasuke."

"Don't worry, Medusa won't die that easily."

Bang…

Sasuke grabbed the Heavy Xuan Ruler and swung it directly at the yellow-haired delinquent.

"Shut up!"

He wouldn't be sad even if Orochimaru died suddenly.

The main issue was that he found Itachi a bit too troublesome to deal with...

After the failure of the quicklime powder, he realized the same trick probably wouldn't work on him twice.

He estimated that the next time they met, the croton powder would most likely not work either.

Sasuke felt that Itachi would be more difficult to deal with next time, so he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Another point is that this time, he still hadn't forced out that guy's Pupil Armor.

Thinking about this, Sasuke felt more and more that he needed to hurry up and develop his third Heavenly Flame.

As long as he could collect five or six different kinds of Heavenly Flame, he wouldn't even need to test the waters when facing Itachi, as he can just throw out an Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.

Then, no matter what trump cards Itachi had, he wouldn't even get the chance to use them before dying.

Sasuke even planned to ask Naruto to get a Totem of Undying so that he could take Itachi down with him, while also getting to see how their clansmen in the Pure Land would deal with that bastard.

Naruto dusted himself off and walked up to Sasuke to ask.

"I'm heading back now."

"You're coming with me?"

Sasuke stood up and replied indifferently, "No, Orochimaru is not dead yet."

"I also need to research my Heavenly Flames and train in that crippled uncle's Lightning Release."

"It's not convenient to do that in the village."

Naruto felt that what Sasuke said made a lot of sense.

The destructive power of his Heavenly Flames is quite high. If it were to be used in a village, there was no telling when he might blast the place sky-high or burn it to the ground.

Thinking of Orochimaru, Naruto suddenly smacked his forehead.

'I wonder if Uncle Snake has gotten the Shinigami Mask yet.'

'When I wanted to resurrect that yellow-haired old man in my family later, I still had to ask Uncle Snake to do it.'

'Well... best leave professional matters to the professionals.'

'Otherwise, if I messed around with the Shinigami mask himself, who knows what weird stuff might happen.'

"By the way, when you see Orochimaru..."

"Remember to tell him that if he wants his arms back, he should go find the Shinigami Mask."

"Once he's got it, just summon the Shinigami and perform a cesarean section on it."

"Got it."

Although Sasuke didn't quite understand what Naruto said, he still kept it in mind and promised to relay them to Orochimaru.

After exchanging a few more words, Naruto returned to Konoha to send off Orochimaru's team, and then went to find the white-haired old man.

During this time, he also saw the Kage from the other villages. All of them looked extremely displeased, and they kept muttering curses under their breaths.

They were saying things like how this whole incident might've been orchestrated by Konoha just to make fools out of everyone else.

However, they were all deeply curious about that powerful, mysterious organization.

What a great organization!

They cared more about the fate of the Shinobi World than the Shinobi Villages like them.

Every village couldn't help but feel tempted to recruit them.

Gaara, in particular, was extremely excited when he received news from the cult that they might've spotted Sasori of the Red Sand.

If he weren't tied up right now, he'd rush over to meet this powerful senior right away.

In the end, the crisis Orochimaru had stirred up was resolved thanks to the Akatsuki's efforts… amid the Kage's endless grumbling.

The Shinobi World once again returned to its former tranquility.

Naruto spent a day in the village being lovey-dovey with his girlfriend before following the old white-haired geezer to Mount Myoboku...

"Naruto, this is where your father and I trained."

The direction Jiraiya was pointing to was filled with many giant plants that Naruto had never seen before, including many toads about the same size as humans, lying on the leaves to rest.

The toads came in all shapes and appearances.

Naruto even wondered if there might be some Bulbasaur lurking around in Mount Myoboku.

'Should I ask Uzumaki Stark to whip up a Master Ball or something?!'

"Oh, it's Jiraiya-chan!"

Fukasaku hopped over to the two of them, making Jiraiya tense up.

He was worried that if everyone knew about Naruto's disrespect to the Great Toad Sage, which would make it impossible for him to stay in Mount Myoboku.

If it weren't for the fact that coming here meant he could avoid getting beaten up in Konoha, he really didn't want to come to Mount Myoboku anymore.

"Jiraiya-chan, you brought Naruto here to train, right?"

"Come with me, Ma had just finished cooking."

Sennin glanced at Naruto and roughly guessed the purpose of their visit.

Hearing that the other party did not mention the matter of the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya first breathed a sigh of relief, only for his face to stiffen again a second later.

'Eat... eat!?'

'No, no, anything but that!!'
