Chapter 115 Hunter OR Prey
Chapter 115 Hunter OR Prey
Jiraiya looked at Akali and the more he looked, the more she seemed like the next Hokage.
However, Akali never thought about the Naruto.
She simply answered Jiraiya's question: "Akali, that's my name."
"As for why I'm asking you this time? Simply put, I need your help."
Akali patted Sakura beside her, and Sakura's transformation was instantly canceled. Sakura, looking somewhat timid and uneasy, appeared in front of everyone.
Jiraiya didn't quite understand: "What kind of help?"
“Simple. I want you to be the recommender and give her the opportunity to learn medical ninjutsu,” Akali said.
After all, what other path could she possibly offer?
It's simply about getting Sakura onto the path of the original story sooner.
"Learn medical ninjutsu?"
A gasp rang out; this time it was Sakura.
Sakura looked at Akali in surprise: "Akali, is this the path you've planned for me?"
Sakura originally thought Akali brought her here to become her apprentice, but she didn't expect it to be for medical ninjutsu.
“That’s right!” Akali explained, “Didn’t you want to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke? Naruto and Sasuke are human, and humans can get hurt. This is your chance.”
"Besides, medical ninjas are always among the elite, no matter where they are. With your excellent chakra control, it would be a shame if you didn't study medicine."
"I see..." Sakura felt a little disappointed, but she quickly dismissed it.
Combat requires talent. Compared to training in blood and fire, being a medical ninja is safer and more respectable. Akali's decision to give her this opportunity shows her thoughtfulness.
Otherwise, Akali could just push her into the Dark Side, train her, go on missions, and if she dies, no one could find fault with her.
Sakura's idea has been resolved, but Jiraiya's hasn't.
He glanced at Hyuga Natsu, who was standing next to Akali, as well as the other two female ninjas from the ninja clan.
Jiraiya didn't understand either.
Given Akali's relationship with the ninja clan, wouldn't it be easy for her to learn medical ninjutsu by having the ninja clan recommend her?
Why did we specifically invite him? Is he some kind of special case?
Wait, something's special!!?
Jiraiya's expression froze.
He seems to be a bit special, not in terms of people, but in terms of relationships!
He is Jiraiya, a medical genius in the ninja world and Tsunade's teammate!
If we compare Tsunade, who has been wandering the ninja world for so many years, to a kite.
Jiraiya, who occasionally returned and maintained intelligence contact with Konoha, was the kite string.
His words can, to some extent, be interpreted as Tsunade's will.
He recommended Sakura, not Jiraiya, but Tsunade said, "I value this child highly. Please teach her for me first, and I will take over when I return."
In that case, Konoha Hospital, being Tsunade's private sanctuary, is only inhabited by Tsunade fans and twisted Tsunade fans. It would be strange if they didn't use all their skills to teach Sakura!
Because the ability to teach is also a reflection of one's own abilities, Tsunade's return to examine Sakura is equivalent to examining them.
At Tsunade's current age, it is indeed time for her to find a successor.
Maybe when she returns, Konoha Hospital will bring Sakura over and say that she is currently the most outstanding young person in the village. Tsunade will take one look and think, "Wow, she's not bad," and then she will actually take her as her disciple.
Thus, a logical loop is formed.
Having thought this through, Jiraiya now fully understood Akali's thoughts.
“Your plan…” Jiraiya looked at Akali, surprised by her meticulous logic.
However, there is still a fatal problem in Akali's part of the plan.
Is that Sakura's talent enough to carry out this plan?
"Of course!" Akali interjected, seemingly knowing what Jiraiya wanted to ask.
"Sakura has enough talent to be assigned to Team 7, which includes Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha; she just lacks the opportunity."
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing Naruto's name, Jiraiya's gaze towards Sakura changed.
Because the girl Akali recommended was actually Naruto's teammate!
In that case, it seems he has no choice but to help. It would be great if Naruto had a medical ninja by his side.
But this really annoyed Jiraiya, because he suddenly realized that Akali had completely outmaneuvered him.
Akali came to ask him for help, but she immediately beat him up. That kick was really hard, and Jiraiya's back is still aching.
So you call this asking someone for help?
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional value +999!]
Jiraiya suppressed his anger: "What if I don't agree?"
"You won't agree?" Akali glanced at Jiraiya, having roughly guessed his thoughts.
"Don't rush!" Akali smiled slyly. "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Sakura is just one of the reasons I came to find you; she came later. The first person to come to me was Naruto."
“He made it to the Chunin Exams finals, but Kakashi was teaching Sasuke Chidori and couldn’t find the time to teach him, so Naruto approached me and asked me to train him.”
"Of course I can train him, but since you're back, I think it would be better for you, as his master, to take over Naruto's training."
"What do you think, Jiraiya?"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional value +9999!]
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional value +9999!]
Jiraiya's expression changed drastically.
Akali even knows about his relationship with Naruto!
These things aren't exactly secrets in Konoha, but how did Akali, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, find out about them?
And how much do you know?
According to Akali's words, if he didn't agree to her conditions, was she going to tell Naruto about all this?
Thinking of this, Jiraiya's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and a powerful aura, like the vast ocean, emanated from him.
Jiraiya warned, "Akali, you are indeed very strong. You are the future of the village. I don't even know how you grew to this level, and who gave you the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"But I think that while it's good to be proud of having strength and connections, one should also have some sense of awe. What do you think?"
For Jiraiya, Akali is too overpowered right now!
Naruto is his absolute bottom line!
He may have neglected Naruto in the past and trusted the Third Hokage too much, but that's okay. He will make it up to Naruto in the future, in his own way.
And there is no room for anyone else to get involved!
"Hehe!" Akali simply smiled in response to Jiraiya's tough attitude.
"So, Jiraiya-sama, are you going to use your strength to shut me up?"
"Sure, no problem. The weak must submit to the strong."
“The only question is…” Akali drawled, taking a step forward: “Who is the hunter, and who is the prey?”
As soon as he finished speaking, to Jiraiya's sudden, horrified expression, the natural energy of heaven and earth began to converge on Akali!
