Chapter 151: Chapter 150: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
"You, Naruto..."
Itachi stared at Naruto's mature face in shock. His height had shot up, and he no longer looked like a kid, but rather a grown - up man. After only two years apart, Naruto seemed even more reliable.
"Yo~ Aniki Itachi, you don't recognize me after just two years. It seems your illness is completely healed. Now you can even jump around and chase me."
Naruto winked playfully with his bright eyes and joked with him. He was still as impulsive and prank - loving as he used to be.
"You're Naruto Uzumaki!"
Shisui blinked his eyes in disbelief. The change in these two years was too great.
Whether in terms of appearance or strength.
Just now, both he and Itachi used basic Fire Release Ninjutsu, targeting the rival's vital points and blocking the rival's retreat.
But unexpectedly, this brat not only dodged but also seemed very relaxed.
Thinking that he had once been saved by this brat, Shisui couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
The seeds of Konoha finally germinated and are growing healthily. As an onlooker, he was very gratified.
"Hey! Aniki Shisui, you recognized me. I almost got charred by your Fire Release Ninjutsu just now."
"Quit joking around. I think you still haven't shown your full strength. Honestly, what kind of cultivation have you done with Lord Jiraiya in these two years? Have you gotten stronger?"
"Hehe, it's a secret!"
"Oh, by the way, where is Lord Jiraiya?"
Shisui and Itachi looked around, but the silver - haired hermit didn't show up.
"Perverted Hermit? Don't worry about him. At this time, he must be peeping at some girl again. Because of that, I've suffered a lot with him in the past two years!"
Thinking of this, the sparkle in his eyes dimmed. During the time with the Perverted Hermit, since he was always peeping around, we were often chased by people. And he had done nothing wrong.
How annoying.
The three were chatting happily when a shrill scream echoed through Konoha in the distance. The residents rubbed their eyes and pushed open their windows, curiously looking outside to see what had happened.
"That is..."
A beautiful parabola was seen in the sky, and an object landed right in front of them. The heavy object hitting the ground left a deep pit.
"Lord Jiraiya!"
"Quick... help me up!"
Jiraiya was lying in the pit, with his hands and feet restricted, unable to get up. Every slight movement made his old waist ache.
"But Lord Jiraiya, why are you here? Who on earth knocked you flying?"
Itachi couldn't help but ask curiously, looking at the badly - injured Jiraiya in front of him.
This is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. The person who could beat him without giving him a chance to fight back must be someone extraordinary.
Facing Itachi's in - depth question, Jiraiya's old face twitched slightly. How could he tell the truth that he accidentally saw Tsunade changing clothes and was thus beaten up badly by her?
"Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally took a fall!"
"
"Tripped and fell? Are you kidding me, Perverted Hermit? Who can fly in a parabolic arc from a simple fall? You clearly got punched hard while peeping at someone taking a bath!"
Naruto mercilessly exposed his teacher's flaw. The Perverted Hermit really needs to get rid of this bad habit once and for all.
"Hey, don't wrong me, kid! I'm not that kind of person!"
?_?
Naruto gave a speechless look. Watching the Perverted Hermit's sophistry, he couldn't help but mutter to himself that this guy was hopeless.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Aniki Itachi, Big bro Shisui, I'll head back to the village first. I'll leave the Perverted Hermit to you guys."
"Sure, don't worry. We'll definitely report this to Lady Tsunade. You go ahead and take care of your own business."
"Okay, see you later."
"Hey~ Lord Jiraiya, where are you going?"
Shisui shifted his gaze slightly and curiously asked Jiraiya, who was wriggling on the ground.
"Well... actually, I feel much better now. I don't want to interrupt you two from doing your important stuff. I'll leave first!"
There was also a clear cracking sound as he finished speaking. Jiraiya's face changed instantly, and he froze in place with tears streaming down his face.
"Lord Jiraiya!?"
Shisui and Itachi rushed forward anxiously to check on Jiraiya's injury.
"Stay still. I just twisted my waist."
Jiraiya had to admit that he was getting old. In the past, no matter how Tsunade hit him, he was fine. But now, just a light press on his waist caused him to sprain it.
...
Shisui and Itachi glanced at each other, then immediately carried Jiraiya and rushed towards Tsunade's Hokage's office.
"Wait! Where are you taking me? Can anyone hear me? I said wait!"
"Lord Jiraiya, this kind of injury can't be delayed. We'll take you to Lady Tsunade right now and ask her to treat you."
"No no no, I'm fine. Stop it..."
As Jiraiya let out a heart - rending roar, the two just thought he was in too much pain and too embarrassed to ask Tsunade for help, so they continued to carry him towards the Hokage's office at full speed.

Naruto walked alone in the village in the early morning. The sun had been up for a while, and there were more people on the streets.
Some people cast their eyes on Naruto, this unfamiliar face. They hadn't seen him for two years and didn't associate him with the silly - looking boy before.
"Hey, you're Naruto!"
A surprised voice came. Naruto looked in the direction of the voice.
"Sakura, Teacher Kakashi!"
Naruto was extremely excited. Looking at the graceful Sakura and Teacher Kakashi, who still looked the same as before, he also thought of their Team 7. If Sasuke were here, it would surely be a touching scene.
"Wow, Naruto, you've changed so much in these two years. I almost didn't recognize you!"
The two of them sighed at how much Naruto had changed. He had not only become more mature and wise but also looked a bit unfathomable, as if he no longer had that silly air from before.
Presumably, after two years of hard training, this guy's strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Oh, of course! I've become stronger and taller. Sakura, look, I'm taller than you now and almost as tall as Teacher Kakashi."
Sakura measured the height difference between them with her hands. She couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. She remembered that when Team 7 was first formed and they headed to the Land of Waves, Naruto was still a bit shorter than her. This guy has grown so fast in just two years.
"Teacher Kakashi is still the same, always holding the Make Out Paradise by the Perverted Hermit and reading it non - stop."
"Come on, this is my only hobby. Stop bugging me."
