Chapter 127: Naruto Uzumaki Becomes a Konoha Jonin

Naruto Uzumaki quickly left the scene with Hinata, never expecting Sasuke to have changed so drastically.

Even now, Naruto still found it hard to accept Sasuke's change.

However, before Naruto could go far, two figures blocked his way.

The blockers were Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee.

"Naruto!" Rock Lee immediately called out Naruto's name, instantly making the atmosphere extremely tense. In contrast, Neji crossed his arms and remained silent.

"Hey, what do you guys want from me?" Naruto always had a bad feeling. Could these two guys be here for revenge?

"Naruto, I want to have a match with you." Rock Lee clenched his fists tightly and said with clear and youthful eyes, "Three years ago, I lost to you in the [Chunin Exams]. Over the past three years, I've been training hard day and night for a rematch with you."

"Not interested." Naruto shook his head.

"Naruto!" This time, Neji Hyuga was really steamed. He'd lost to Naruto before. For three years, he'd bided his time, constantly dreaming of a duel with Naruto and picturing their battles day and night.

Neji Hyuga stepped forward, his [Byakugan] locked on Naruto, making Naruto feel a little creepy inside.

Naruto said half - jokingly, "Neji, don't give me that look..." Meanwhile, he thought to himself: I'm really scared you'll use your X - ray ability to peek at me.

Neji had indeed activated his [Byakugan] at this moment. He was so eager to fight Naruto that he didn't care they were on the streets of Konoha Village.

"Sigh." Naruto sighed softly and said, "You guys aren't qualified to challenge me."

"Why!" Neji and Lee asked in unison.

"Because I'm going to become a [Jonin]." After dropping that bombshell, he scooped up Hinata and teleported away using the [Flying Thunder God Technique][b][Flying Thunder God Technique][/b].

Only Neji and Lee were left standing there, stunned.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya walked up to Tsunade, apparently discussing something really important.

After listening, Tsunade suddenly shouted, "What! Jiraiya, you're actually recommending Naruto to become a [Jonin]?"

Shizune, standing beside them, was so shocked that her eyes widened. She stared at Jiraiya in shock.

"Jiraiya," Tsunade started scolding Jiraiya, "Even if Naruto's your apprentice, you can't be so biased. Do you know what it takes to become a [Jonin]? If you make Naruto a [Jonin] rashly, how can he win people's trust?"

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and found that he was frowning. Her tone suddenly softened and she changed her words, "But considering Naruto's great performance in the [Chunin Exams], it's not out of the question for him to become a [Chunin]."

Jiraiya looked serious. He first lowered his head a bit, as if remembering some horrible past, and his pupils were trembling slightly.

"Naruto is the most talented ninja I've ever seen! No, it's indescribable. If I have to describe Naruto's strength, I'm afraid only the legendary [Sage of Six Paths] can match him."

"The [Sage of Six Paths]?"

Tsunade said calmly, "Naruto has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] and the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b]. It's really unexpected..."

"No—" Jiraiya interrupted Tsunade and said in a voice even he himself couldn't believe, "Naruto has developed his own S-rank Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b]—Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken[b]Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken[/b]!"

Hearing this, Tsunade was slightly shocked.

"Okay, I admit that Naruto is indeed talented. But even if he's created an S-rank Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b], it's still not enough..."

Jiraiya continued with a serious look on his face, enunciating each word, "Naruto has mastered Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b]!"

Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b]! Hearing these two words, Tsunade's pupils instantly dilated, and her body began to tremble slightly, seemingly extremely excited.

"What's Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b]?" Shizune beside her was very puzzled. It was the first time she'd heard the term.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade at this moment. Seeing Tsunade clasping her hands tightly together and trembling all over with excitement, he couldn't help but smile. Jiraiya thought to himself: It seems Tsunade has recognized Naruto's strength. Naruto is about to become a Jonin[b]Jonin[/b].

Jiraiya then began to explain Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b]: "Chakra is a Ninja[b]Ninja[/b]'s spiritual energy and physical energy. As long as you combine spiritual energy and physical energy, you can use Ninjutsu[b]Ninjutsu[/b]."

"However, Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b] requires an additional type of energy, which is Natural Energy[b]Natural Energy[/b]. Only by mastering spiritual energy, physical energy, and Natural Energy[b]Natural Energy[/b] can one master Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b]."

Shizune only half-understood, but she knew that Naruto was very powerful now.

Tsunade's trembling body began to calm down. She looked up at Jiraiya and said, "Practicing Sage Art[b]Sage Art[/b] is very dangerous. Why did you teach Naruto to practice such a dangerous thing?"

"What can I do? Do you think I wanted to?" Jiraiya began to recall the three-year training, which had been a kind of torture for him.

During the three-year training, Naruto first showed the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b], which completely shocked Jiraiya.

Because Jiraiya had only taught the three stages of training the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] and hadn't actually taught the complete technique.

Jiraiya looked at the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] in Naruto's hand and asked, "I haven't even taught you all the skills. How can you control the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b]?"

"Is it difficult?" Naruto was stunned for a moment and casually threw the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b]. The thrown Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] flew more than ten meters away and suddenly exploded, blowing a two-meter-diameter crater in the ground.

Jiraiya was stunned, his jaw dropping in shock. He never thought the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] could be thrown.

"The first stage of bursting a water balloon[b]balloon[/b] is to train the control of the rotational characteristics of Chakra[b]Chakra[/b]. The second stage of bursting a ball is to train the power of Chakra[b]Chakra[/b]. The third stage of rotating Chakra[b]Chakra[/b] inside an air balloon[b]balloon[/b] is to train finesse, respectively."

Naruto said proudly, "As long as you master these three stages, using the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b] at the end is a piece of cake."

Jiraiya stammered, "Then how... can you... throw the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b]..."

"Simple. Just add a little wind attribute Chakra[b]Chakra[/b] change to the Rasengan[b]Rasengan[/b]. Just a very slight addition of wind attribute Chakra[b]Chakra[/b] change can do it.

In the following days, Jiraiya taught Naruto a lot of ninjutsu. At first, Naruto found it extremely difficult to train and could hardly learn them.

However, at night, Naruto would secretly use the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] to teleport back to Konoha and ask Karin for help.

The next day, Naruto could master the ninjutsu taught by Jiraiya, which shocked Jiraiya so much that he even lost interest in having fun with girls.

As days passed by, Naruto had almost learned all the ninjutsu that Jiraiya knew. Jiraiya had taught him everything he had, and he had nothing left to teach Naruto.

"Hey, Lustful Sage! You haven't taught me any new ninjutsu for two days," Naruto pestered Jiraiya daily. "Do you have nothing else to teach me? Is that all you've got?"

"What the heck are you talking about? I'm Jiraiya, one of the Sannin! I still got tons of powerful skills up my sleeve!"

"Really? Then what else can you teach me?"

Jiraiya was in a pickle.
