Jiraiya sighed. Sure enough, Naruto, who was in a hurry to cultivate, was immediately distracted. He immediately clamored to find Sasuke, but although he was troubled, he was relieved. Now he had no time and energy to deal with Naruto's cultivation, so he could just let Naruto find Orochimaru.
Even if Naruto was no match for Orochimaru, he still had his Tailed Beast. Moreover, even if he still lose after unleashing the Kyubi, it was fine. If he lost, he could sharpen him a bit, letting him know that becoming a strong expert was not so easy. Moreover, he had arranged for people to accompany him, so this plan could be said to be foolproof.
"Kakashi, you have familiarized yourself with the Mangekyo in the past two years and used Kamui smoothly. Your body has begun to get used to the burden of the Mangekyo. But after all, the burden on your body is still very big. You shouldn't go this time. Go take some rest."
Jiraiya was very concerned about the only disciple left behind by the Fourth, which was also his own disciple. Otherwise, how could he treat Kakashi so well after all he had done to his students? Kakashi didn't teach Ryoha and Naruto seriously, and he had been avoiding his responsibilities for many years. But he didn't receive much scolding.
The reason why Jiraiya treated Kakashi like this was because he felt pity for him. Kakashi's life was in shambles due to the Obito incident. He couldn't let go of his past and tried to take all the burden himself.
If not for that case, with his talent higher than an Uchiha, he would be a Kage-level expert many years ago. Even if he could not surpass the White Fang, he could at least reach the same level as him. Unfortunately, Kakashi did not do that. Instead, he continued to carry this burden.
However, no matter what, even if the Sharingan and Obito limited Kakashi's life, his talent was still extremely high. He didn't have the Uchiha Bloodline or the gene-devouring tech like Ryoha. But his body was able to accept the transplanted Sharingan without much problem. He was also able to evolve it by himself, and he was always a powerful warrior.
Looking at his gains in the past two years, he knew that Kakashi, who had been using the Mangekyo for more than a month, could still walk. He was safe, but his spirit and body were tired.
However, as long as he was able to recover after a week of rest, it could be seen how much Kakashi had gained in the past two years. He had actually increased the compatibility of his Mangekyo to this extent, allowing his body to adapt so quickly. It was really not simple.
However, the more outstanding Kakashi was, the more Jiraiya felt pity for him. Unfortunately, such a talented disciple could not become a Kage-level expert because of past trauma.
"If I don't go, who will go? Although there are many Jonins and Elite Jonins in Konoha, there are only a few of them who can survive against a Kage-level expert like Orochimaru."
Kakashi did not want to show off, but in fact, this was the case. In the last few days, Guy had opened his Eight Gates, and even if he was in good health, it was impossible for him to fully recover so quickly. This was something that he could not rush.
Guy also knew that if his body did not fully recover after opening the Eight Gates, he would definitely suffer from side effects. At that time, he would no longer have the potential to reach the Eighth Gates safely like his father.
Kakashi knew his business. Unless he were willing to give up the Sharingan and take the initiative to take it off and walk out of the shadow and shackles brought about by Obito's death, he would only be able to stay at the peak of Elite Jonin level in this life. Therefore, he did not want his friend to be the same as him.
"This time, you won't directly clash with Orochimaru. I just wanted Naruto to temper himself. I know Orochimaru's weaknesses very well. Although his reincarnation technique is magical and keeps his youth, his technique still has a big flaw."
"Because of this, his soul was severely damaged. Even though he was able to retrieve his soul back from the Demon's stomach, the side effects from his previous reincarnation still linger. His resistance to powerful genjutsu was relatively weak, so he was defeated by Itachi."
"Otherwise, with Orochimaru's strength, even if Itachi used his strongest doujutsu, it would be impossible for him to defeat the legendary ninja. At the same time, because of the flaw in his soul, Orochimaru's strength had not improved much over the years, and he still maintained the strength he had when he left Konoha."
"So as long as the plan is properly arranged, it won't turn into a direct clash, but a special training session for Naruto. There would definitely be no problem, not to mention that Naruto is still a child, yet he could control the power of the Four-tails mode without losing his mind. If he wanted to escape, Orochimaru would not be able to stop him."
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with wisdom. Obviously, he was not an all-muscle Hokage. He was different from the Third. The Third had killed many geniuses of Konoha, but he paid a lot of attention to cultivating geniuses, or nurturing talented people.
"Since Jiraiya-san has already arranged everything, then I am relieved." Kakashi was very impressed and relieved with Jiraiya. This Hokage was not someone the Third could compare to. Whether in terms of breadth of mind, courage, or tolerance, he was not someone the Third could compare to.
"Sakura performed very well this time. After this battle, I think her medical ninjutsu and combat power will rise again. This is not the first time the hospital head said she is very talented, especially in medical ninjutsu. She might not be like Tsunade in the future, but she will surpass her current mentor."
Jiraiya knew very well how advanced Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was. How could Tsunade be a simple ninja? Her medical Ninjutsu was unfathomable.
And Jiraiya had yet to know that ever since Tsunade awakened her Wood Release, her medical Ninjutsu had been at the same level as Hashirama. By this time, she had completely surpassed her grandfather and reached the highest peak in the history of the world.
He really didn't know anything about Tsunade's latest development, or whether there was someone behind all of that. After all, Tsunade was now in a period of rapid growth. It was unknown how far she could reach in the end.
"Yes, Sakura's performance is indeed beyond my expectation. Maybe she still needs to practice a bit, but if this goes on, she will definitely be a great kunoichi."
Kakashi did not expect that he had been looking away from reality for so long. It seemed that he was blinded by the Sharingan because of his feelings for Obito. He thought that Sasuke was the best. Now it seemed that Sasuke was behind his former teammates. It was really embarrassing.
