Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 117

They didn't disturb Karin, who was still fast asleep at the hotel.

Jiraiya was quite satisfied with Naruto's attitude towards training; he was very proactive and serious.

He has already begun to guide Naruto in utilizing the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The sound of splashing water mingled with Naruto's heavy breathing, echoing through the valley.

"Haaah—!" Naruto stood on the rushing water, his feet touching the surface, struggling to maintain his balance.

He was covered in sweat, his golden hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and his cheeks were flushed.

As time went by, his chakra was almost completely depleted, and his legs began to tremble slightly.

On the shore, Jiraiya watched this scene silently with his arms crossed, a rare hint of approval on his face: "Good, that's it! Keep going until you've exhausted all your chakra!"

The loud sound reached Naruto's ears through the roar of the waterfall.

Naruto couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter under his breath, "Why does it have to be so complicated...? Using up all my chakra before even trying to summon? Can't we just summon directly?"

He was filled with doubt and dissatisfaction, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on standing firmly on the water.

This series of rigorous training sessions has been going on for several days.

Naruto pursed his lips, secretly gritting his teeth: "Damn it, Sasuke has already learned the super cool Crow Clone Technique, and I'm still wading through water here, I'm so slow!"

Jiraiya keenly noticed the dissatisfaction in Naruto's expression and shouted, "Don't get distracted! What you need to do now is exhaust your chakra so that it's easier to draw out the other power within you!"

"Ugh..." Naruto had no choice but to give up upon hearing this and refocus on his feet. Finally, his legs gave way, and he fell into the water with a "plop".

The icy stream water instantly washed over his head, and Naruto shivered, quickly scrambling to the surface to keep his head above water.

"Ha—finally exhausted!" He shook the water droplets off his hair and swam back to shore, panting, shouting to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya chuckled as he looked at Naruto's disheveled appearance: "Come on up, kid."

Naruto climbed ashore, soaking wet.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to awaken another unfamiliar and enormous source of chakra within his body.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and shouted: "Spirit Summoning Technique!"

"Bang!" A burst of white smoke rose, and Naruto felt his hand sink. When he looked again, a large tadpole with two legs appeared in front of him.

The slippery, grayish-black little thing flapped its tail, hopped on the grass, and then croaked with its round, bulging eyes.

When Jiraiya saw this, his smiling face froze: "...Tadpoles again."

He sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Hey, I have to say, your skill level is really too average, isn't it? How many days has it been, and you still haven't been able to summon a decent toad?"

Naruto's face flushed red, and he pointed defiantly at the tadpole's thin little legs, protesting loudly, "They're not the same kind of tadpole! Look, it's already grown legs!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's temple throbbed with a vein, and his lips twitched violently: "Isn't this still a tadpole?!"

He smacked Naruto on the forehead without hesitation, angrily yelling, "You little brat, you don't actually think that just because you have legs you're no longer a tadpole, do you?"

"Ouch!" Naruto rubbed his forehead, which had been throbbed from the tap, and pouted in dissatisfaction. "I told you, you perverted sage, you're no good!! Sasuke's brother is a hundred times better than you! At least he taught him the super cool crow ninjutsu! I've been following you for so many days, and all I can do is turn into a tadpole. I should have known better than to come with you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes widened instantly, his old face turning bright red: "What did you say, brat?!"

He never expected that Naruto, that brat, would blame the road for the car's poor condition; he was furious.

However, Jiraiya also noticed that Naruto was indeed somewhat distracted and impatient during his training today.

Could it be...

Is it all because they feel they're progressing too slowly when compared to Sasuke?

Jiraiya was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Naruto got more and more excited as he spoke, angrily counting on his fingers: "Sasuke trained with his brother and learned a lot of ninjutsu! He's much stronger than you! I knew following you wouldn't get him anywhere—"

"You brat!" Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed forward, grabbed Naruto by the collar, and glared at him angrily, saying, "Isn't it possible that you're just stupid and can't compare to Sasuke at all?!"

As soon as the words left their mouths, both of them were stunned for a moment.

A sudden pang of regret welled up in Jiraiya's heart, and in his anger, he spoke without thinking.

My original plan was to get along well with Naruto and see if I could get into that dream world.

Moreover, this training is indeed not simple. It is understandable that Naruto learns slowly, after all, the chakra of the tailed beasts is not so easy to control!

As expected, Naruto's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He clenched his fists and roared, "You perverted sage! How could I possibly be inferior to Sasuke! It's clearly you who's no good. Sasuke's brother can summon a giant that's over ten meters tall! Can you do that?"

Jiraiya, who was initially a little guilty, immediately retorted upon hearing Naruto's words, "A mere ten-meter-tall giant? I can summon a twenty-meter-tall toad!"

"Twenty...twenty meters?!"

Naruto was taken aback upon hearing this, and an exaggerated image immediately flashed through his mind.

A gigantic toad stood proudly, its massive size blocking out the sun, exuding an imposing aura.

"That looks kind of imposing!"

If he learns it, wouldn't he be able to surpass Sasuke?

After all, Sasuke can't learn to become a ten-meter giant right now.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and his previous dissatisfaction vanished.

Jiraiya, seeing the stars practically shooting from his eyes, leaned closer with a mysterious look: "So, kid, want to learn? But I have to warn you, the training method might be a bit... dangerous."

……

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.

Inside a hotel room in Kikyo Town.

After taking a hot bath, Naruto collapsed onto the soft bed.

He recalled the "dangerous training" he had experienced during the day with lingering fear, and still couldn't help but shudder with lingering dread.

"I almost lost my life..."

Naruto reached out and touched his chest, as if he could still feel his heart pounding.

Although they faced life and death, the gains they made were immense.

"Sasuke must be really surprised!"

Naruto rolled over triumphantly onto his back, put his hands behind his head, and gazed at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

"Now, let alone Sasuke, even... well, I'm afraid even the 'Naruto' from my dreams might not be my match?"

Since being drawn into that bizarre dream, he has witnessed his "alternative possibility" in his dreams many times.

The "Naruto" in the dream seemed to be better than before in every way, and his strength far exceeded that of his real self.

This always made Naruto somewhat resentful.

However, tonight, he finally had a rare sense of confidence.

Thinking about this, a thought flashed through Naruto's mind.

What would happen if he were to have a match with Naruto in his dream world?

With this expectation in mind, Naruto unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 118 Kakashi: I have the Mangekyou Sharingan?

In the cold, familiar darkness, Naruto suddenly opened his eyes.

He subconsciously looked around and found himself among rows of dark, empty seats.

Naruto pouted, muttering with disappointment, "Tch, in the stands again... Looks like it'll be Sasuke again today!"

Just as he was muttering to himself, two soft sounds suddenly came from not far away. With two "whoosh" sounds, two figures appeared one after another in the seats next to him.

"Kakashi-sensei! Sakura-chan!" Naruto immediately waved excitedly.

"Well, good evening, everyone." Kakashi smiled and nodded to Naruto and Sakura.

"Oh, right, Sakura-chan! I have some great news for you!" he whispered mysteriously, "I've learned a super powerful ninjutsu! It's even more powerful than the one Sasuke used yesterday!"

"Oh?" Sakura looked at Naruto, who was beaming with smugness, with disbelief. "Really? I don't believe it!"

Naruto raised his head proudly: "Of course it's true! It's 100 times more powerful than Sasuke's ninjutsu!"

Sakura couldn't help but roll her eyes. "100 times? You're bragging again. I don't believe it."

"No way!" Naruto exclaimed, waving his hands frantically. "I risked a lot of danger to learn this skill, it'll scare you to death if I told you!"

[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

Kakashi chuckled helplessly as he watched Naruto and Sakura bicker back and forth.

Although she still had dark circles under her eyes, her mood had visibly improved.

However, he also noticed some anomalies.

He let out a soft sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping across the vast audience seats.

Why have there been only three people in the audience these past two days?

……

Inside the VIP box.

Uchiha Itachi also stood up steadily.

His Akatsuki-style black robe with red clouds swayed slightly with his movements.

In the dim light, Itachi's lips were tightly pressed together, his dark eyes fixed on the gradually clearing screen, his expression extremely solemn.

"Here we go again..."

The weasel muttered to itself.

Before going to bed today, he not only found a very secluded cave, but also carefully investigated the traces behind him, confirming that no one was following him.

They even set up several traps around the area.

Itachi Uchiha was certain that no one could get to his side without disturbing him.

"Even if the surrounding area is sealed off completely, it can't stop him from pulling me into this place... Just who is he?"
