Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 158

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, both seeing a burning rage in each other's eyes!

Without saying a word, the two of them, like two cannonballs fired from a gun, charged into the noisy izakaya with a fierce aura!

The izakaya was dimly lit, filled with smoke, and bustling with noise.

In the innermost window seat, Jiraiya's signature long white hair stood out conspicuously!

He was surrounded by two young women dressed in revealing kimonos, one pouring him wine and the other feeding him fruit.

Jiraiya's face was flushed, and he was grinning so wide his eyes were almost closed. He was clearly half-drunk and was boasting about something with spittle flying everywhere.

What was most glaring was that on the table piled with empty wine bottles, fruit platters, and dishes, there were two wallets that they recognized very well!

It was Naruto's green toad wallet and Sasuke's black leather wallet!

Both wallets were open, and the banknotes and coins inside had been haphazardly pulled out and scattered on the table, clearly having been squandered!

"What a lecherous immortal!!!"

The roar, clearly containing overwhelming anger and the injustice of being cheated and robbed, was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly drowning out all the noise in the izakaya!

The next moment, two figures, brimming with violent chakra and fierce killing intent, descended like tigers from the mountain.

He pounced straight on the white-haired lecherous old man who was still drunk and grinning foolishly!

"Give me back my wallet!"

"Give me my money back!"

Clang! Crash!

The sound of a bottle shattering!

The sound of a table overturning!

A woman screaming!

The diners gasped in surprise!

"Hey you two little devils! Go easy on me!"

"That's a month's salary for me!"

The small, private seating area instantly transformed into a battlefield!

Naruto's fist whistled through the air, while Sasuke's flying kick was incredibly fierce, aimed directly at the still-dazed Jiraiya!

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, who was quite drunk, was frantically trying to block his two disciples' "master-killing" attacks.

While trying to protect the "trophies" (wallets) on the table, the scene became extremely chaotic!

Chaos erupted, chickens flew and dogs barked, people were thrown about! The izakaya owner, looking at the mess, was on the verge of tears...

Inside the sealed space...

"Huh? Minato?" Madara was about to say something to Jiraiya when he saw this, but he couldn't find Minato.

Nine Lama pointed to the lonely figure crouching in the corner: "He's over there."

If you listen closely, you can even hear Minato muttering to himself, "I don't know him! I don't know him!"

Chapter 178 Catching that old bastard!

"What a lecherous immortal!!!"

The hustle and bustle of the izakaya was instantly shattered by two angry roars!

Amidst the chaos and commotion, Naruto, like a golden lion with its mane bristling, grabbed Jiraiya's flowing white hair.

With his other hand, he swung a punch at his drunken face without any hesitation!

Sasuke, on the other hand, was much calmer, but his attacks were equally precise and ruthless.

A fierce sweeping leg strikes straight at the lower body, with a clear objective—to reclaim the wallet!

"Hey! You brats! You've gone too far!"

Jiraiya struggled to parry his two disciples' relentless "master-killing" attacks, yelling incoherently.

He was indeed in the wrong; he had "borrowed" the wallet and paid for the drinks himself.

Faced with irrefutable evidence of the crime, even someone as thick-skinned as a city wall couldn't hide his shamelessness.

At this moment, all they could do was run away with their heads in their hands, not daring to fight back at all, for fear of really angering these two little devils.

The table was overturned, and the cups and plates were scattered everywhere.

"Give me back my wallet!"

"Give me my money back!"

The izakaya owner, looking at the shards scattered on the floor and the customers strewn about, felt his heart breaking and was on the verge of tears: "My shop..."

Taking advantage of Naruto's missed punch.

Jiraiya suddenly broke free from the entanglement, like a startled rabbit, burst through the back door, and plunged headfirst into the dark forest outside Maple Leaf Town.

Naruto and Sasuke were not about to give up, and immediately gave chase with red eyes!

"Halt! You lecherous immortal!"

"Hand over the money!"

In the woods at night, moonlight filters through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Jiraiya dodged left and right thanks to his familiarity with the terrain, but two figures behind him were like leeches, relentlessly pursuing him.

Naruto's shadow clones kept harassing him from the side, while Sasuke's kunai flew past his clothes with a sharp whooshing sound.

Finally, by a stream, Jiraiya was caught by Naruto's leg in a flying tackle, and Sasuke's kunai was firmly placed around his neck.

The cold touch made Jiraiya stop in his tracks.

Looking at his two apprentices, who were panting but whose eyes were blazing with anger, he raised his hands.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and quickly begged for forgiveness:

"Ouch! Stop! Stop! Stop hitting them! My little darlings!"

Jiraiya, without even panting, said, "Master, I was wrong, okay? I didn't mean to..."

Jiraiya's eyes darted around: "Isn't this going to teach you a lesson? To make you deeply understand the allure and harm of money!"

"I'm showing you that a ninja must resist temptation! Look, I've set a bad example for you all! What a well-intentioned way to teach you!"

"Education my foot!"

Naruto was furious, grabbing Jiraiya by the collar and shaking him violently: "The three forbidden things for ninjas—alcohol, women, and money! You broke them all this afternoon!"

"Drinking! Chasing girls! And stealing money from your apprentice! What kind of master are you! You're just an old lecher! A big liar!"

Although Sasuke didn't yell like Naruto, the kunai on Jiraiya's neck didn't budge.

Her cold, dark eyes stared intently at him, her voice carrying an undeniable chill: "Enough nonsense. Give me back the money."

He couldn't be bothered to listen to Jiraiya's fallacies and heresies.

Jiraiya's eyes darted around, and he glanced guiltily to the side, scratching his cheek, which was slightly red from being slapped. "Well... money... money..."

Naruto could tell from his hesitant manner that the old lecher was just trying to dodge the question again.

His temper flared up again: "Fine! Looks like I have no choice but to get serious! Sasuke! Hold him down! Search him!"

"Hey! You brats! What do you think you're doing?! I'm your master! Don't you understand the importance of respecting your teachers?!"

"Hey! Don't touch there! It itches!"

"You brat! That's... Ouch! My back!"

"Wallet! Is your wallet in your pocket?!"

"No! Really not! Oh! Don't give me this headache!"

Jiraiya panicked and tried to struggle, but Naruto held onto one of his legs tightly, and Sasuke's kunai was pressed against his vitals, so he couldn't move at all.

"What master would steal their apprentice's wallet to buy alcohol and pick up girls?!"

Naruto roared as he ruthlessly searched Jiraiya's body: "Tell me! Where did you hide it? Where's the bankbook?!"

"Ouch! No! Don't touch there! It tickles! Haha... Stop! You brat! Not there!"

Jiraiya was tickled by Naruto, causing him to writhe all over and let out strange laughter, making the scene quite bizarre.

Sasuke suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and joined the search. Although his movements were more disciplined than Naruto's, his goal was just as clear.

The two searched each other's upper and lower bodies, even looking through ninja tool pouches and scrolls, their teamwork was very "perfect".

"Found it! The bankbook! It was in his inner lining pocket!"

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he finally pulled out a small, dark blue savings book from an extremely hidden pocket inside Jiraiya's huge scroll!

"You little brat! That's my royalties savings book! Not your wallet! Give it back to me!"

Jiraiya's expression changed, and he reached out to snatch it.

Naruto nimbly dodged, and Sasuke's sword immediately moved forward half an inch, forcing Jiraiya to freeze in place.

Naruto eagerly flipped open the savings book and looked at it in the bright moonlight.

He only glanced at it, but his eyes widened instantly, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg!

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million..."

Naruto's fingers trembled as he counted the dizzying string of zeros in the bankbook's balance column, his voice trembling: "My God... how many zeros are there?!"

Sasuke also leaned over for a look, and even with his composure, his pupils suddenly contracted.

His face showed an extremely rare expression of shock!

The astronomical sum of money in the bankbook could buy not only the entire Maple Leaf Town, but probably several small countries!

Naruto suddenly raised his head, pointed at the bankbook, his finger almost poking Jiraiya's nose.

Her voice rose in shock and anger: "You lecherous immortal! You! You have so much money! You're rolling in it! Why do you still steal our pitiful pocket money?! Don't you have a conscience?!"

Sasuke stared coldly at Jiraiya, his disdain almost tangible: "Disrespectful to elders."
