Chapter 27 - Chapter#27: Akatsuki's Arrival

"Oh, stop it."

"Hahahaha."

"That's it, that's it, hehehe…" Jiraiya, with a perverted smile like an idiot, crouched in the bushes, peeking.

Watching this, Yuta helplessly rubbed his forehead: "So, why am I training with this old pervert?"

"Thump-thump-thump."

Walking behind Jiraiya, whose attention was focused on the spring scenery, Yuta shouted loudly and confidently: "Someone's peeking!"

"I'm not!" Jiraiya, startled, stood up from the bushes.

"It's you again, you pervert!" The girl in the river angrily threw a wooden basin at Jiraiya.

"Bang!"

"Ow, not the face!" Jiraiya covered his head and quickly ran away.

After reaching a safe spot, Jiraiya turned back, grabbed Yuta's collar, and yelled angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm gathering material! This is the second time!"

"What material! You're just plainly peeking!" Yuta looked at Jiraiya without backing down: "Didn't you say we were coming out to train? Is this what you call training?"

Hearing Yuta's words, Jiraiya awkwardly scratched his cheek: "This… isn't this to help Naruto perfect the Sexy Technique? I believe that must be a high-difficulty Ninjutsu comparable to an S-rank Ninjutsu, so I need to collect data to perfect it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, when you say that, do you even believe it yourself?" Yuta looked at Jiraiya skeptically.

"Cough cough." Jiraiya lightly coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

"Yuta! Pervy Sage! Come look at this!" Naruto suddenly shouted excitedly.

Yuta and Jiraiya turned their heads to look in front of Naruto, where a half-man-sized toad was squatting.

"This is the first time I've summoned such a big toad, besides that one time I summoned Gamabunta, Pervy Sage, am I almost completely proficient in Summoning Technique?"

"…" Jiraiya silently walked to the toad, and under Naruto's expectant gaze, gently patted the toad's head.

"Bang!"

The white smoke dissipated, and the toad returned to its fist size.

"Gamabunta's son, he only masters simple transformation Ninjutsu, this is his actual size." Jiraiya said bluntly: "You're still far from it, kid."

"How can this be, you cheating toad." Naruto angrily shouted at the toad.

"Idiot." Gamabunta's son's eyes were full of disdain.

"Bastard!" Naruto raised his fist and smashed it at Gamabunta's son, who was squatting on a rock.

"Bang."

Seeing things go bad, Gamabunta's son quickly dispelled the Summoning Technique and returned to Mount Myōboku, while Naruto's fist heavily struck the rock.

"Ow ow ow ow!" Naruto covered his right hand, tears in his eyes.

"So, why get angry at a toad?" Yuta rolled his eyes.

"Alright, stop messing around." Jiraiya walked over and interrupted the farce: "We're almost at Adofuku Street, let's go quickly. I'll treat you two to a big meal when we get there."

"Yay!"

Hearing about a big meal, Naruto regained his spirits and jumped up from the ground: "Big meal! Big meal! Big meal…"

…Twenty minutes later.

"What! A room for three people costs eight hundred ryo, this must be a rip-off!" Jiraiya said in disbelief, looking at the price list.

"Handsome sir, this price has been consistent for five years, it's not a rip-off." The clerk had a professional smile on his face.

"Handsome sir, huh." Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the clerk: "You've got good taste, kid. Give me one room."

"Thank you for your patronage." The clerk handed the key to Jiraiya: "Your room is at the very end on the second floor."

"Got it." Jiraiya put away the key, then turned to Naruto and said: "Since we've found a place to stay, let's go eat… What are you looking at?"

Following Naruto's gaze, Jiraiya's expression froze: "A… a beauty."

"Hehe." The woman winked at Jiraiya.

"Yuta." Jiraiya suddenly said.

Yuta looked up: "What's wrong?"

"Here are three thousand ryo and the room key. You and Naruto go eat something first, then train well in the room." Jiraiya walked to the doorway and put his arm around the beauty's shoulder: "I have something to take care of."

"No… Jiraiya-sensei…"

Yuta wanted to speak but stopped himself, looking at Jiraiya's retreating back.

Are you here to find Tsunade, or to pick up girls?

"Never mind." Yuta looked at Naruto: "Brother, let's go eat first."

"Eat! Eat!" Naruto excitedly pulled Yuta towards the snack street.

After a simple lunch, the two returned to the room they had booked. Naruto sat on the bed practicing Chakra control, while Yuta continued his training in Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique.

"Hoo."

Yuta sat on the ground with his eyes closed, adjusting his breathing. A Chakra puppet, specially used for Sealing Technique training, was placed in front of him.

"Crash."

The cleaning tools placed against the wall fell to the ground with a sound. Yuta opened his eyes and quickly pressed his right hand on the dummy's abdomen: "Five-Turn Revolving Seal."

"Buzz!"

Five Sealing Technique patterns of different colors rapidly spread out from Yuta's fingertips.

"Whoosh."

A small whirlwind formed on the Wind Seal, flames ignited on the Fire Seal, a crystal-clear water sphere spun around on the Water Seal, and earth blocks rattled on the Earth Seal.

"Finally, the Lightning Seal." Yuta nervously watched the Lightning Seal, which was gradually forming small lightning bolts.

"Crack!"

The electric arc suddenly spread, and the other four patterns rapidly collapsed under its effect.

Looking at the vanished patterns, Yuta sighed: "Failed again."

The Five-Turn Revolving Seal, an A-rank Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan, is based on five C-rank Sealing Techniques. Its training difficulty is extremely high, and its effect is similar to the Five Elements Seal, both used to seal an enemy's Chakra. However, there is a significant difference between the two.

The Five Elements Seal is constructed from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with equal proportions of their elemental power. Therefore, to release the Sealing Technique, one only needs to use a Five Elements Release of the same system to easily break it.

The Five-Turn Revolving Seal, on the other hand, is constructed from five elemental Chakras: lightning, wind, water, fire, and earth. The proportions of these five Chakras can be adjusted by the sealer at will. Therefore, when releasing the Sealing Technique, the releaser needs to use a release Ninjutsu with an equivalent proportion of Chakra. Otherwise, even if only one of the five patterns remains, the Five-Turn Revolving Seal will instantly restore itself to completion.

"Besides the Lightning Seal, the excessively long release time is also a problem." Yuta thought to himself, looking at the charred puppet. From releasing the seal to stabilizing it, it takes about five seconds. If it were in actual combat, these five seconds would be enough for Yuta to die several times over.

"Knock knock knock."

Hearing the knocking, Naruto opened his eyes and asked: "Who is it?"

"Knock knock knock."

The person outside the door didn't answer, just kept knocking.

"I'm opening the door, stop knocking." Naruto, annoyed, jumped off the bed.

"Wait, brother!" Yuta grabbed Naruto.

Naruto asked confusedly: "What's wrong?"

"Something's not right." The person knocking at the door gave Yuta an instinctive bad feeling. He closed his eyes and quickly searched his memory, feeling like he had forgotten something very important.

After the Konoha Crush… After the Konoha Crush… Yuta tried hard to recall his memories, which were no longer so vivid.

"Could it be!" Yuta's eyes suddenly widened. He finally remembered that extremely important thing.

"Brother…"

"Boom!"

Before Yuta could speak, the wooden door of the room shattered.

"Step… step…" A man with a large sword on his shoulder slowly walked into the room. Looking at the two, the man grinned ferociously: "If you're in the room, then open the door properly."

"Black cloak with red clouds, no mistake." Yuta said with a solemn expression, speaking the man's name: "Kisame Hoshigaki."

I'm eating with a friend, so the next chapter might be a bit late. But it will definitely be out before 12 AM.
