Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 150 Black Jue

At this moment, Jiraiya, with a serious expression, turned to Boruto and asked, "I'm planning some important operations soon. Would you like to join me...?"

Boruto paused for a moment after hearing Jiraiya's words, then a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Naruto put his hand behind his head, a slightly mocking smile on his lips, and teased, "What big move? It's just barging into some women's bathhouse to carry out your so-called research activity."

When Jiraiya heard Naruto's teasing, he immediately reached out and tapped him on the head, saying with a displeased expression, "Idiot, don't think of me as something so vulgar!"

"Ouch!" Naruto complained, clutching the large bump on his head. "Isn't that right? Hey Boruto, you think so too, right?"

Boruto reached out and gently scratched his cheek, looking somewhat embarrassed. This was understandable, as Jiraiya's usual words and actions had left them with too many unserious impressions.

However, even if they really think that way, they shouldn't express it so bluntly.

"You two are really something." Jiraiya seemed a little dissatisfied. He sat cross-legged on the tatami and then said seriously, "Don't let my appearance fool you. I can be very serious at crucial moments. This matter concerns Naruto."

At this moment, Naruto, ignoring the throbbing pain in his head, asked anxiously, "Is it me? Are you going to teach me some powerful ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya took a deep breath and then slowly said, "You could say that."

At this moment, Boruto vaguely sensed that this matter might be related to Kurama, after all, the current Kurama harbors a deep hatred for humanity.

Nine Lama is still lurking inside Dad's body, trying to break through the Bagua seal within Dad's body and seize the opportunity to erode his consciousness.

Just as Boruto had predicted, Jiraiya explained his plan to the two of them in detail.

Over the past few months, Jiraiya has been traveling the ninja world with Naruto, not only training Naruto's basic ninjutsu but also improving his ability to dispel genjutsu, in order to further help him master the use of the Nine-Tails' chakra within him.

Jiraiya planned to try to break the Nine-Tails' Eight Trigrams seal within Naruto at an appropriate time, releasing the Nine-Tails' power so that Naruto could fully control the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Jiraiya learned through his intelligence network that many Jinchuriki from various ninja villages had reached a tacit understanding with the Tailed Beasts within them.

They have been able to fully control the power of the Tailed Beasts and communicate with them, becoming so-called perfect Jinchūriki, thus being able to unleash the full power of the Tailed Beasts.

For example, Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails who lived in the Land of Earth, was able to skillfully control the power of the Four-Tails, and his great strength was widely recognized in the ninja world.

Furthermore, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, is also able to communicate with the Eight-Tails' mind...

After listening to Jiraiya's detailed explanation, Boruto was first surprised by how extensive and dense Jiraiya's intelligence network was, and how he was able to grasp such information.

Boruto then recalled the prophecy the Great Toad Sage had made to him not long ago at Mount Myōboku, which mentioned that he would fight a Tailed Beast.

The matter that Jiraiya is now talking about, which is to release Kurama from his seal soon, is exactly the one that the Great Toad Sage was referring to in his prophecy.

Boruto then recounted the Great Toad Sage's prophecy in detail to Naruto and Jiraiya, who were present.

Jiraiya nodded slightly and said to Naruto, "According to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, it seems that the time for us to release the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body is indeed destined. Naruto, you should be prepared."

Jiraiya firmly believed in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy. Since the Great Toad Sage had already foretold this event, it was bound to happen. Even if the group did not take any action, other unforeseen events would cause the prophecy to come true.

Naruto slowly placed his hand on his abdomen, gripping his clothes tightly, and muttered to himself, "The Nine-Tails? Then bring it on!"

Boruto said softly, "So our mission is to reseal the Nine-Tails when things get out of control, right?"

After all, Naruto will face enormous mental pressure in the process of trying to master the Nine-Tails' power, which may even cause him to lose himself.

Jiraiya nodded, indicating his agreement with what Boruto said.

However, they still need to wait for a while, because with Naruto's current physical condition, he is not yet able to withstand the violent power released after the Nine-Tails is unsealed.

......

On a majestic mountain peak, Boruto sat cross-legged on the soft grass, closing his eyes to meditate and focusing intently on the natural energy permeating the surrounding air.

Not far behind Boruto, a strange distortion suddenly appeared on the ground, and then a lush green plant sprouted from the ground.

As time passed, the center of the plant slowly opened, revealing a strangely shaped creature with black and white markings.

This black-and-white figure is Zetsu, codenamed Xuan (Black Tortoise) in the Akatsuki organization. His main tasks are reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

Bai Juekai looked up at Boruto on the distant mountaintop and said, "Isn't this the blond kid that Kakuzu and Hidan described? Just as Tobi said, he's not dead."

After hearing that Kakuzu and Hidan had been defeated by Boruto, Obito Uchiha became very interested in this young Konoha ninja.

After some investigation, Obito discovered that there were no reports of any ninja deaths in Konoha, which made him begin to suspect that Boruto was not dead.

Just then, Boruto had already set off for Mount Myōboku, so Obito was unable to find Boruto's whereabouts. Based on this, he decided to send Zetsu, who was skilled in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, to continue searching for Boruto's whereabouts.

Boruto had just left Mount Myōboku, and Zetsu, through deliberate tracking, successfully located Boruto's current position.

White Zetsu continued, "This guy looks ordinary, seemingly without any special strength. How did he manage to defeat Kakuzu and Hidan?"

At this moment, Black Zetsu slowly interjected, "Don't judge a book by its cover." After saying this, Black Zetsu closed his eyes and began to activate his sensory abilities, using his wide-range sensory abilities to detect Boruto's chakra on the distant mountain.

Before they could react, a shuriken flew past White Zetsu's cheek, slashing it.

Immediately afterward, Boruto's figure disappeared from the previous hilltop. Using the Flying Thunder God mark he had just engraved on the shuriken, he instantly teleported behind Zetsu.
