Chapter 49: Beautiful Place, Beautiful Scenery
Kizaru looked in that direction.
It was an unfamiliar Ninja.
But the aura was quite familiar.
That chilling, hidden in the shadows, as if ready to devour someone at any moment.
Orochimaru!
Kizaru was a little puzzled.
What is this guy doing here?
And he even emanated his malice.
Did he dare to appear so brazenly just by changing his appearance?
Was this guy not afraid of being exposed?
Perhaps, he really was bold because of his skill.
However, no matter what Orochimaru's purpose was, as long as Orochimaru didn't provoke him, Kizaru couldn't be bothered with him.
After all, even if he really made a move, facing such a guy who couldn't be killed... it would only make him feel like he was wasting his time.
So, let's just ignore him~
When dealing with such a guy, it's better to avoid trouble.
Next, the next match, Akimichi Choji against Dosu, almost ended with Choji's defeat with no suspense.
The only thing that made Kizaru's eyes light up was that the little fatty's Multi-Size Technique was quite fun.
It was somewhat similar to his grand-nephew Luffy's Gear Three~
And the power of the Human Bullet Tank after transformation was also good, but unfortunately, he met a guy who played with sound, which was really too restrictive~
Moreover, Choji, as a Genin, obviously lacked experience in dealing with such opponents~
The official matches were in a month.
After drawing lots and deciding the opponents for the official matches, they disbanded on the spot... Kizaru originally wanted to use this month to take soldier pills and cultivate, recovering more of his Haki~
As a result... Kizaru looked at Ebisu, who was wearing black sunglasses.
He didn't know what to say.
Kakashi, really, if he didn't have time to train me, he should just let me train myself, what's the point of finding a guy like this!
Moreover, Ebisu was a teacher after all, he had to give him some face and couldn't refuse.
Although, he himself didn't give his mentor, Zephyr, much face back in the day~
Kizaru followed Ebisu boredly, not knowing where this guy was taking him.
Then.
As he walked, he arrived at a hot spring bathhouse.
Kizaru's eyes widened, observing carefully, it was indeed a hot spring.
Soaking in a hot spring~
Is this also considered training?
No!
This really is training.
He seemed to still not have solved his problem of being a non-swimmer!
It's just... Kizaru already had a solution in mind, so he could take this opportunity to test it out!
Kizaru walked forward leisurely.
Ebisu suddenly became serious, shouting loudly,
"Hey, Naruto, that's the women's pool!"
"I will never allow such shameless behavior!"
Kizaru turned his head, raised an eyebrow at Ebisu, and a lewd smile began to gradually appear on his lips.
If you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have noticed~
Now... the women's bath, huh.
Should I sneak over and take a look?
But... he had to find a way to avoid Ebisu first.
Seeing Kizaru's astonishing expression, Ebisu was also disgusted. He walked towards the men's bath first, "Follow me!"
Kizaru followed with a look of disappointment, such a good opportunity... he had to find a way!
How about... knocking Ebisu out with a blow to the head?
Good idea!
That's what he'll do.
Kizaru knew that for a Special Jonin, constant vigilance was an instinct, and it wouldn't be easy to knock him out.
He had to find an opportunity when his guard was down!
Kizaru first followed Ebisu to the men's bath, stripping down to just his shorts.
Ebisu began to teach him the Water Walking Technique, an advanced version of the tree climbing training from before.
Kizaru was stunned~
When he practiced tree climbing, he could release Chakra from his feet and run on leaves and grass~
He had no problem on the water either, alright~
Kizaru released Chakra from his feet, stood on the water, steady and stable, indeed without any pressure~
Then... his idea could be realized.
Kizaru pretended to stumble and fell into the water.
As the water splashed, Ebisu's psychology must have changed, this was the best time to knock him out... best time my ass!
Kizaru, who had fallen into the water, felt his strength slowly leaving him. He then remembered that he was a non-swimmer!
In this state, let alone knocking someone out, it would be good if he didn't drown!
Would that Ebisu come to save him?
Suddenly... Kizaru seemed to remember something. Wasn't he supposed to overcome the Devil Fruit's weakness, and he already had a plan in mind, why not try it out according to that plan~
After all, it's better to rely on oneself than on others.
While his strength had not completely disappeared, Kizaru's soul once again entered the space where the Nine-Tailed was sealed.
He injected all the Devil Fruit power in his body into the Nine-Tailed's seal, retaining only Chakra in his body.
As the Devil Fruit power in his body disappeared, Kizaru found that he began to regain his strength in the water, and gradually regained the ability to swim.
He surfaced, happily paddling.
Swimming... a feeling he had never experienced since he ate the Devil Fruit!
It really was an enjoyment!
Ebisu looked at the swimming Kizaru, annoyed, "I told you to train, not to play in the water!"
Kizaru ignored him.
He climbed ashore and jumped into the water again.
He could still swim.
He submerged himself in the water, looked at Ebisu, then suddenly shot out, appearing behind Ebisu, and delivered a hand chop!
Ebisu collapsed to the ground, twitching uncontrollably.
Kizaru was satisfied, next... the women's bath!
There was a spot right in the men's bath where he could... Kizaru looked at that excellent spot.
But there was already a white-haired guy riding a toad, happily peeking.
This fifty-something old man, while watching, his shoulders kept trembling, praising endlessly~
Oh ho~
A kindred spirit.
His age was also similar to his own, if not for this body, they might have become friends.
Kizaru's figure flashed, and he peeked in next to him.
Amidst the rising mist, it was all white and tender... drooling, drooling!
The white-haired uncle who was peeking, Jiraiya, was startled.
This little blond boy should be Minato's descendant. His main purpose in returning this time was to protect this guy from the Akatsuki Organization.
It's just... he didn't expect this guy to be just like him!
And that lewd expression~
It was clearly like seeing another himself.
The most crucial thing was, how did that guy appear next to him just now?
Although he was just watching the most exciting part, it shouldn't be... he had no guard at all.
This little blond boy was not as simple as he understood him to be!
Just then, he heard.
The little guy, with his butt sticking out, happily humming as he looked inside, "This is truly a good place, a good place with beautiful scenery..."
A good place with beautiful scenery?
Jiraiya was stunned, how apt the song was!
What are we waiting for, let's keep watching!
Jiraiya also happily stuck out his butt and peered intently inside...
