《Naruto: The Ōtsutsuki Bloodline》Chapter 64: I Know the Plot of the Next Volume of Make-Out Paradise

"Old man, what's the matter?"

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya yawned as he jumped in through the window.

But as soon as he entered, he was greeted by Danzō Shimura's expression—a face so grim it looked like he had just lost a loved one. This sight immediately cleared the drowsiness from Jiraiya's eyes.

"You're here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, long accustomed to his student's antics, didn't even bother to look up. He simply spoke directly.

"Jiraiya, we've made some new discoveries, but things have gotten a bit complicated."

"New discoveries?"

Jiraiya's demeanor instantly became serious, his previously lazy attitude vanishing without a trace.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"I'll explain."

Before Hiruzen could speak, Danzō interjected.

"According to Root's investigations, we've uncovered three leads. You're already aware of the contact with Kirigakure.

The Fourth Mizukage personally sent a letter, and based on his memories, he vaguely recalled seeing people other than Obito Uchiha.

One was a man with orange hair, and the other was a woman with blue hair."

As Danzō described these two distinctive features, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. But having encountered countless individuals in his lifetime, he dismissed it as nothing significant.

"A man with orange hair and a woman with blue hair?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin. These traits seemed somewhat familiar, reminding him of his three former students.

But unfortunately, those three had perished long ago in the chaos of war...

"I'll keep that in mind. What about the other two leads?"

"As for the other two..."

This time, Hiruzen didn't wait for Danzō to speak. Taking a puff from his pipe, he spoke in a low tone.

"Both involve actionable targets. One is in the Land of Hot Water, where we suspect the presence of members of a mysterious organization.

We've been aware of this for some time but held back to confirm the information further."

"The Land of Hot Water again?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, recalling his last visit there to track Orochimaru. The memories were still vivid.

It made sense, though—the Land of Hot Water was a chaotic place, a haven for all sorts of shady characters.

"And the other lead..."

As Jiraiya pondered, Hiruzen sighed before continuing.

"It concerns Orochimaru."

The mention of Orochimaru brought a heavy silence to the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya's gaze turned sharp, and Hiruzen, seeing this, understood his resolve.

There was no way Jiraiya would ignore any information about Orochimaru.

"Understood. I'll go after Orochimaru. Leave the Land of Hot Water to Kakashi."

Meanwhile, Danzō, despite maintaining his stoic expression, was secretly delighted.

As long as Jiraiya pursued Orochimaru, the matters in the Land of Hot Water would have nothing to do with him!

Whether or not anything is found in the Land of Hot Water, the credit won't go to you...

...

Kitagawa Minamoto didn't quite understand what Guy meant by "Why do you look like Kakashi?"

It was just a hair dye—what was the big deal? Besides, his hair would naturally turn white in the future anyway!

But one thing he did understand was the hardness of Guy's fists...

Over the course of a month, Minamoto had experienced firsthand how this perpetually cheerful teacher, who occasionally demonstrated what "The White Fang of Konoha" truly meant, used physical methods to elevate his students' souls.

"Is this what they mean by 'words are useless, but broken bones are the best lessons'?"

Sitting under a tree, Minamoto couldn't help but grumble internally. Just then, Kakashi handed him a bottle of orange juice.

"Here, it tastes pretty good."

"Thanks."

Minamoto took the juice but quickly handed it to Guy with a grin.

"Here, Guy-sensei, you've worked hard."

"..."

Kakashi scratched his head, while Guy raised an eyebrow at him before accepting the juice.

"Thanks. I have to admit, kid, you're improving fast."

"Agreed."

Kakashi handed Minamoto another bottle of juice before sitting down under the tree with them.

"Your progress is visible to the naked eye!"

"Hehe, it's all thanks to my teachers."

Minamoto beamed. Over the past month of training, he had gained a lot!

Though it had been tough at first—even in one-on-one sparring, he struggled against these Jōnin, who were masters of both tactics and combat experience.

And since it was training, many techniques were off-limits.

As he gradually adapted, Kakashi increased the intensity, turning one-on-one into two-on-one!

"So it's not that I'm fighting two people—it's that I'm being beaten by two people?"

This training method eventually loosened some restrictions. For instance, he was now allowed to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, which made things a bit easier.

However, he noticed that Kakashi had his own tricks—he would often camp near the Flying Thunder God markings, using ninjutsu to harass him...

After a month of this, Minamoto's ability to handle opponents had improved significantly!

"Plus, Kakashi-sensei helps me refine my techniques."

Even after regular training, Kakashi didn't forget to assist him in other areas.

For example, he provided ideas for utilizing the Flying Thunder God Technique and offered suggestions for improving Purple Electricity and the Rasengan.

As someone rumored to have copied over a thousand jutsu, Kakashi's advice was invaluable, even if he didn't use all the techniques himself.

This gave Minamoto plenty of ideas to work on.

"Maybe I can try Kakashi's suggestion for Purple Electricity—using a weapon as the medium to project it, or perhaps a Lightning Release: Chakra Mode? As for the Rasengan, I remember there's a version that incorporates planetary rotation..."

He vaguely recalled a technique called "Rasengan: Vortex," which involved injecting Chakra into an opponent's body.

The Chakra would then rotate in sync with the planet's rotation, continuing indefinitely as long as the planet kept spinning.

"But how do I even create something like that?"

As he sipped his juice through a straw, Minamoto pondered deeply. Kakashi glanced at him curiously.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to implement your suggestions... Wait, did you finish your drink already?"

Minamoto turned his head absentmindedly, only to see Kakashi holding an empty bottle. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"No way, that big bottle's already gone?"

"Hehe, you just want to see his face, don't you?"

Guy, though still slightly uncomfortable with Minamoto's hair color, had mostly gotten used to it after a month. He chuckled nonchalantly.

"I only saw him without his mask a few times when I was a kid. This guy's so mysterious, and he eats ridiculously fast—you barely get a chance."

"I've noticed."

Minamoto nodded, then tilted his head and asked curiously,

"So, what does Kakashi-sensei look like?"

"Can't you two talk about something else?"

Before Guy could respond, Kakashi rolled his eyes. Minamoto tilted his head again.

"Kakashi-sensei, when I went to the Land of Hot Water with Jiraiya-sama, I saw his manuscript. It seemed to be the unpublished draft of the next Make-Out Paradise."

"..."

"Want me to tell you the plot?"

"Wait a minute—you're reading that stuff at your age?!"

"Uh..."

Minamoto froze, realizing he had walked right into that one.

"You two..."

While the two bantered, Guy watched with amusement, though he couldn't help feeling a twinge of envy.

"Still, that kid's pretty good. Maybe not as naturally gifted as Minamoto, but definitely a hardworking genius."

Guy stroked his chin thoughtfully. Just then, he noticed several Anbu approaching their location...
