Chapter 464 The Great Naruto Shortcut
The matter that Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were discussing was the list of applicants for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Currently, the demand for Amegakure's Impure World Reincarnation services in the entire ninja world is based on kinship and friendship.
Even if it was for Mei Mizukage and Gengetsu Hozuki, it was all for the sake of Kirigakure, the village where she lived.
Jiraiya didn't care about developing the ninja village; what he cared about was peace in the ninja world.
Just like the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and Otsutsuki Isshiki's evaluation of Kashin Koji, Jiraiya's fate seemed to be set for this.
Therefore, Jiraiya was not interested in the development of Konoha Village.
Even in the worst of times, no one in Konoha Village will starve.
The key issue is the survival of the ninja world.
If the Otsutsuki were to descend, even the aftershocks of the battle could cause massive casualties.
Putting aside other things, both Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi have personally experienced the power of the Otsutsuki clan.
It might even be an Otsutsuki that has been weakened countless times.
A Momoshiki residing inside Boruto's body easily killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, treating him like a roadside stray.
Danzo Shimura spent half his life plotting conspiracies and assassinations, but Momoshiki only needed to use his strength to send bricks flying to complete the task.
Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was ambushed and instantly killed, Jiraiya had a longer period of contact with him.
He could fully feel the pressure Boruto exerted from behind in Momoshiki.
Even that despised fisherman, Urashiki, could be defeated in one move.
Urashi's problem isn't a lack of skill, but rather a problem with their mentality.
They had absolutely no fighting spirit.
In short, both of them had experienced the oppressive atmosphere of the Otsutsuki clan.
The Urashiki and Momoshiki who died were from the future; that is to say, the Urashiki and Momoshiki of their world are still on their way.
Besides these two, there is also an Otsutsuki hidden in the ninja world.
In order to combat these threats, the Akatsuki organization and Orochimaru continuously researched and developed new things.
They can't just sit idly by.
We need to think of a suitable candidate who can fight against the Otsutsuki.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still prepared to exchange for contribution points, rather than using the Edo Tensei for free in the name of the ninja world.
Firstly, he didn't want to owe Orochimaru a favor.
Secondly, if the reanimated characters are summoned for free in the name of protecting the ninja world, then staying in Amegakure to help, like the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, Kushina, and Rin, would be the best option.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention was indeed to protect the ninja world.
But isn't Konoha also part of the ninja world?
He wanted the resurrected people to prioritize protecting Konoha, and then contribute their strength if problems arose elsewhere or if it was necessary to gather forces to fight together.
Therefore, he has to spend contribution points.
Free things are often the most expensive, and Hiruzen Sarutobi understood this.
And now their first target, without a doubt, is Minato Namikaze.
"Watergate won't work."
Jiraiya thought about it for a moment and then rejected Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.
"Why? Didn't you say that no one is as good as Minato? And I've seen how good Minato was, if only he hadn't died young..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression.
Jiraiya, as Minato's teacher, actually rejected Minato?
"Old man, I certainly understand Minato's excellence, but you've forgotten that the best way to fight the Otsutsuki clan is with Sage Mode or Taijutsu."
Jiraiya sighed.
"Minato's physical skills are not outstanding enough, and his Sage Mode is too short-lived to launch multiple attacks."
What's needed to defeat the Otsutsuki clan isn't speed, nor is it simply about inflicting damage.
The Otsutsuki clan members are all tough and resilient, requiring high-damage physical or magical attacks.
"...Minato's Sage Mode skills aren't proficient yet, but that's just because he's too young. Give him some time, and he'll master it. Besides, there's Naruto's special shortcut, isn't there?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then said.
"..."
Jiraiya's expression was strange. "Old man, have you forgotten again? Even if you install the Sensing Technique on the Edo Tensei, you still can't enter 'Sage Mode'."
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shut his mouth.
He almost forgot.
He had specifically asked about this.
If a body reanimated by Edo Tensei is equipped with a sensory technique and undergoes the "Entering Sage Mode Process," it will remain in the "Entering Sage Mode Process" stage indefinitely and will never truly reach that state.
"Even if it were possible, do you think Minato, given his personality, would really be so shameless as to use such a method?"
Jiraiya added a sentence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has completely given up.
That's true.
Naruto and Jiraiya can use it without restraint because that's who they are.
But for a respectable person like Minato, even if he were forced to use it, let alone whether he would use it or not, Hiruzen Sarutobi would still be reluctant.
The reputation of Konoha will inevitably be ruined by Naruto and Jiraiya in the future, but at least there will be a moral exemplar, Minato, hanging on the wall.
We can't let this moral exemplar be lost.
"Ugh."
"Ugh."
In the dim, misty environment, two sleazy old men let out a long sigh.
"what?"
"what?"
Suddenly, the two of them thought of something else.
"Old man, do you think the same way I do?"
"No, I didn't think of anything, my foot just felt a little itchy."
Hiruzen Sarutobi vehemently denied it.
Because he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too perverse and did not fit his image as a highly respected person.
"Tch, just keep pretending. If you won't say anything, I will."
Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with disdain and continued speaking.
"We just mentioned Naruto's special shortcut. Since that's the case, we can easily let other promising individuals use this shortcut to complete their Sage Mode training!"
"Orochimaru is said to be modifying genes, trying to create an artificial human that can activate the Perfect Sage Mode."
His method may not be successful, and even if it is, it may not be mass-produced, and it will definitely take a lot of time.
Naruto's method, though primitive, is really practical and quick. Just try it and you'll see if it works.
Jiraiya became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Well said, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll think of the list of those to be resurrected using Edo Tensei, and then I'll discuss it with you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Jiraiya on the shoulder.
"Okay! I'll take care of it!"
Jiraiya nodded vigorously, pushed open the sliding door, and walked out.
Just as he stepped out of the hot spring inn, the sunlight brought Jiraiya back to his senses, and the smile on his face froze.
wrong!
It's wrong in ten out of ten parts, or even nine out of ten!
What is he going to do now?
Go and promote Naruto's special shortcut, Sage Mode.
So, who should we go to?
Of course, it's the current head of Konoha, Hokage Tsunade.
"..."
Jiraiya retreated without hesitation.
If he goes to Tsunade to propose this plan, will he really be able to leave the office alive?
We must find another way.
