Chapter 667: Two Lunatics!

Chapter 667: Two Lunatics!

"Toad Sage??? More like Pervy Sage..." Naruto commented instantly. Jiraiya, who was holding a cool pose, slipped due to being caught off guard by such an immediate reply.

Fujin chuckled and added, "Hmm, Pervy Sage... That is more appropriate. I'm surprised no one ever called you that before."

Jiraiya dispelled the summoned toad while sighing, 'The young generation has no respect... Who'd dare to call me that?'

Before he could say anything, Naruto asked again, "Can he really teach things you can't teach me?"

Fujin replied with a smirk, "Well, he might be a pervert, but he is one of the strongest ninjas in the world."

Naruto's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "One of the strongest ninjas in the world?"

Fujin nodded and said, "Yup. Remember Orochimaru?"

Naruto nodded. How could he forget someone who trashed them so brutally?

Fujin replied, "Just like Orochimaru, he is one of the three Great Sannin, the shinobi trained by the Third Hokage."

Naruto's eyes widened once again as he looked at Jiraiya in shock. Jiraiya grinned thinking, 'Not bad, I guess I have some reputation left.'

Unfortunately for Jiraiya, Naruto exclaimed instantly, "No way! How did someone trained by Grandpa Hokage become such a pervert?"

Fujin chuckled and said, "And, the mighty Fourth Hokage was also his student. Perhaps you might learn about how to become a Hokage from him. Are you still unsure whether you want to learn from him?"

Naruto's mouth opened wide, his jaw nearly falling to the ground! He wondered, 'What crazy world is this? How come a pervert is so cool???'

Jiraiya was finally satisfied with Naruto's reaction. He asked teasingly, "So, do you want to train under me or not? Maybe I should look for someone else to train."

Wasting no time, Naruto smiled and said, "Hehehe, of course I want to train. I was just messing around earlier. I would love to learn from the great sage!"

Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he thought, 'Such a shameless brat... He's more like me than Minato!'

Fujin smiled as well and said, "Good. I'll leave Naruto to you. Look after his training to supercharge jutsus as well. As you saw earlier, he'll need some time to master it."

Jiraiya nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will."

Fujin nodded in response and walked away as he said, "Good luck, Naruto."

Fujin answered, "Common sense says that we should focus on Suna and Orochimaru. As long as we endure their scheme without losing any strength while making them pay dearly, no other village will dare to attack us. However, if we suffer heavy damage, then Kumo will make a move and Iwa will follow even if we didn't do anything to offend them.

With this move, Kumo's war readiness will suffer and they will think several times before making a move even if we are weakened. Without Kumo, Iwa won't make a move either. Even if they end up making a move, Kumo's forces would be weaker and Iwa would lack intelligence and will have to face the armies of Kusa and Taki before they reach us, giving us some room to maneuver.

And, in the case where we don't suffer much against Orochimaru's plans, Kumo and Iwa won't try to make a move against us even if they are offended considering the losses they just suffered. No matter how the situation develops, this move will be beneficial for us."

Hiruzen and Shikaku nodded, happy that Fujin was able to see their motives at a glance. However, even though Fujin recognized their strategy, he couldn't help but think, 'These two are remarkable. I'd have never thought of a plan like this...

To make use of the simple news of me defeating Orochimaru to destroy their intelligence network and kill hundreds of Kumo elites... Ay might vomit blood if he knew how badly he'll be played by Hiruzen!

Not to mention, this is just Hiruzen and Shikaku scheming... Exactly what kind of shit did these guys pull when Danzo was assisting Hiruzen instead of hindering him?'

Fujin now had a far better idea about why Konoha always came on top in the previous Great Wars. While having an array of rank S ninjas was definitely an important factor, it was these sorts of bizarre schemes that gave Konoha an upper hand even when outnumbered and surrounded from all sides.

Snapping Fujin out of his thoughts, Shikaku said, "Once the decoy unit lures the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, you'll follow this attack route to eliminate the bases one by one. We'll contact you once the Raikage reaches the intended spot using the Chakra Transmission Communication device. You can make your move then. However..."

Shikaku paused for a couple of seconds before continuing, "While I and Lord Hokage agree on nearly every aspect of this plan, there is one aspect where we have different opinions.

Each base has at least a hundred ninjas. You'll have to kill every single one without allowing even one to escape. While I don't doubt your strength, doing this alone is extremely difficult.

I am of the opinion that you should lead a small force of 25, 50 or 100 ninjas to the Land of Lightning to assist you in this attack. However, Lord Hokage believes that you'll be better off going there by yourself."
