Although Naruto didn't laugh out loud, his action of covering his mouth was too obvious, and his mischievous smile couldn't be hidden. The sadness that the four people had managed to feel instantly disappeared.
They looked at each other with strange expressions, wondering if the shock had driven Naruto crazy.
"Ahem..." Kakashi coughed twice and was the first to speak, "Naruto, don't worry. Even if you can't be a ninja anymore, you are still a hero of Konohagakure..."
"Pfft..." Naruto couldn't hold back his laughter.
Kakashi: "...What are you laughing at?"
Naruto: "Sorry, I couldn't hold it in. Please continue... Pfft!"
Kakashi: "..."
Naruto swore he didn't do it on purpose. After all, there was nothing funny about it. He shouldn't find joy in others' sadness, especially since they were sad because of him. That was very wrong!
...He just suddenly remembered that he had mastered the Tailed Beast Bomb, so he laughed.
Kakashi sighed. How could he continue this conversation? He turned to Jiraiya, his eyes showing helplessness.
Jiraiya understood Kakashi's meaning: "Naruto, I will find a way to heal your injuries. Since you know Tsunade, you must also know she is the best medical ninja in the world. So stay here, and I will bring her back to heal you."
His face was serious: "Even if I have to tie her up, I will bring her back to heal you."
This was his promise to Minato and Kushina.
Naruto scratched the back of his head and, seeing Jiraiya's serious look, felt a bit embarrassed and laughed: "Actually, you all got it wrong. You know how serious my injuries are, but you don't know that my body is very different from a normal person's. These injuries are not fatal to me, but it will take some time to recover. I just can't be a ninja for a while... that's what you think."
This was the truth.
Jiraiya frowned, his tone a bit stern: "How is that possible? Don't think that just because a small wound heals quickly, your body is invincible. These are not small wounds. Your body has been eroded by the Nine-Tails' chakra, full of holes. It's a miracle that anyone could survive in this condition."
Skin, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, bones, even internal organs—there was no part of Naruto's body that was intact. Ninjas are indeed strong, but they are also human. They can die from ordinary fatal injuries, let alone the kind of injuries Naruto had all over his body.
As the medical ninja from Konohagakure said, "How is he still alive?"
In this condition, recovery seemed impossible. Even Jiraiya, who had learned Senjutsu, didn't have such an exaggerated recovery ability. How could a twelve-year-old boy like Naruto recover? Besides Tsunade, Jiraiya couldn't think of any way to heal Naruto.
At this moment, Naruto was still boasting, which made Jiraiya angry.
Naruto saw the worry behind Jiraiya's stern exterior and laughed, a bit foolishly: "Pervy Sage, do you know about the Uzumaki clan?"
Jiraiya and Kakashi's eyes widened in shock. Kakashi swallowed, his usually calm voice trembling slightly: "Naruto, where did you hear the name 'Uzumaki'?"
"Kurama told me," Naruto answered directly, without hiding anything. "Kurama said that although my hair color is different, I have a very pure Uzumaki clan body. That's why I was chosen to be his Jinchuriki, because the Uzumaki clan's strong life force and recovery ability can suppress the tailed beast's chakra."
Naruto scratched his head and laughed foolishly: "I don't really understand what he meant by the Uzumaki clan, but he told me that the Uzumaki clan's greatest strength is not their sealing techniques, but a life level inherited from a great being. This gives pure-blooded Uzumaki clan members a huge life force, like the First Hokage. Unless they are killed instantly or suffer injuries beyond their body's limit, they will heal over time."
The Uzumaki clan, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, are different from the Uchiha clan, who inherited the Six Paths' eyes, and the Senju clan, who inherited the Six Paths' techniques. The Uzumaki clan inherited the Sage of Six Paths' body, and their large chakra reserves are just a bonus.
The Uzumaki clan's Six Paths body has strong sealing abilities, powerful suppression abilities, and strong sensory abilities, including sealing techniques, Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Kagura's Mind Eye. To use these three powers, the Six Paths' body...
The Six Path gives the Uzumaki clan strong healing abilities.
You say Senju Hashirama also has healing abilities?
That's right!
But let me ask you, besides Senju Hashirama, who else in the Senju clan has such healing abilities? The reason Senju Hashirama inherited both the Six Paths Body and Six Paths Techniques is because he is the reincarnation of Asura's chakra. That's why Black Zetsu said he and Madara are the closest reincarnations to the original Asura and Indra.
(P.S.: This is all the author's creation. In reality, the Uchiha are descendants of Indra, inheriting the Sharingan, while the Senju and Uzumaki are descendants of Asura, inheriting the Sage Body. The Hyuga, Kaguya, and Kinkaku Ginkaku clans come from Otsutsuki Kaguya's second son, Otsutsuki Hamura, who is the ancestor of Otsutsuki Toneri, the matchmaker of the ninja world.)
Jiraiya and Kakashi exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
Jiraiya formed a hand seal with his right hand, using sensory ninjutsu to cover Naruto, while Kakashi lifted the headband covering his eye, revealing the Three Tomoe Sharingan and staring at Naruto. After a few seconds, both of them showed a look of surprise.
Kakashi put away the Sharingan, his remaining eye full of shock: "It's really healing on its own."
Although the speed was very slow, under the Sharingan, this slow healing was unmistakable. Kakashi had just watched Naruto's wounds slowly heal.
"The Uzumaki clan... Did Kushina have this ability?" Jiraiya muttered to himself.
There was no way around it; it was truly amazing. They knew what Naruto's body was like three days ago. After lying in bed for three days, his wounds had started to heal, and the internal organs damaged by the tailed beast chakra had begun to regenerate. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the surface wounds fully healed.
Jiraiya knew the Uzumaki clan had large chakra reserves and strong self-healing abilities, but he never imagined it could be this strong. If not for the slow speed, it would be almost like a passive Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique!
Naruto didn't know what Kakashi and Jiraiya were thinking. He just smiled at them: "So I want to go with Pervy Sage to find Granny Tsunade. If she helps me heal, I can recover to the point where I can use chakra in a short time."
And I can also learn that Rasengan Kurama keeps thinking about. Perfect.
