Chapter 353 Flying Thunder God Returns to Karin's Bed?
Myoboku Mountain, early morning.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes, rubbed his messy hair, and subconsciously looked around as if searching for someone.
However, as soon as he finished the action, he suddenly realized what he had done and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
I'm such an idiot, we're on Mount Myoboku right now!
Recalling the events of last night, Naruto felt a chill run down his spine.
The person chosen in yesterday's dream was the dream Naruto named Menma.
According to the pattern of the dream world, whenever someone is chosen to descend from the dream into reality, the location where they appear will correspond to their approximate location in the dream.
This had happened twice before; Naruto appeared in his dream on his bed, which startled him quite a bit.
Naruto had assumed it would be the same this time, which is why he subconsciously looked around when he woke up.
However, at this moment he was on Mount Myōboku, and naturally there was nothing beside his bed.
Thinking of this, Naruto's sleepiness vanished instantly.
and many more!
Now there is an even more difficult problem.
Isn't Menma being held captive by bad guys?
If he were to appear right now in some dark, empty prison cell in reality, wouldn't he still be trapped there, unable to escape?
This terrifying thought made Naruto's heart tighten suddenly.
The excitement that had just arisen from finding a clue was instantly overwhelmed by worry.
Naruto frowned deeply, his mind a jumbled mess.
He needed to ascertain Mianma's whereabouts as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that his worst fears had been confirmed.
Just as Naruto was in a state of confusion, a loud knocking sound came from the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice rang out from behind the door: "Hey, kid, are you awake? I'm coming in."
"Oh! Good morning, perverted sage, come in!" Naruto quickly snapped out of his daze and responded loudly, temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
As the door was pushed open, Jiraiya swaggered in.
He remained as casual and unpretentious as ever. Although his expression seemed nonchalant, his eyes were bright and alert. He glanced around and his gaze settled on Naruto, who was sitting on the bed. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Still thinking about what happened in your dream yesterday?"
Hearing Jiraiya's question, Naruto seemed to have found his anchor. Forgetting everything else, he poured out all his worries like beans spilling from a bamboo tube: "Perverted Sage, do you remember the pattern of that dream? Last night, the chosen one was Menma, right? His location in the dream was the same as where he was in the dream! What if—what if Menma was still locked up in the bad guys' lair when he was chosen? Then when he gets to the real world, won't he still be trapped there? What—what are we going to do?!"
Jiraiya listened quietly to Naruto's urgent plea, his expression turning serious. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, you're right, this is indeed a problem—"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiraiya suddenly changed the subject, offering words of comfort: "However, don't rush to conclusions. There's no use in worrying here. We need to go back to Konoha and see for ourselves firsthand. Only by confirming with our own eyes can we know whether Menma has truly appeared and where he is."
"Back to Konoha?!" Naruto's eyes lit up.
Yes, why don't we just rush back to the village and look for it!
This is undoubtedly the most direct and effective method.
However, his excitement lasted only a moment before he frowned and asked, "But—what about Fukasaku and Shima—?"
Naruto thought about how the two toad sages had been diligently instructing him on how to train in Sage Chakra these past few days. Now that he was giving up halfway and running back to the village, would he disappoint his elders?
Seeing that Naruto was still thinking about training at a time like this, Jiraiya was taken aback at first, then smiled with relief and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about that. I went to see Lord Fukasaku and Lord Shima before dawn and asked them to allow you to take a day off from your special training. The two sages told you to go back and take care of important matters first, and you can continue your training when you come back."
"Really?!" Naruto was overjoyed upon hearing this, jumping up from the bed and excitedly shouting, "Great! Pervert Sage!"
Seeing Naruto's renewed spirits, Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder.
"There's no time to lose. Pack your things quickly and return to Konoha immediately using the Flying Thunder God Technique. I remember you left a kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark on it for Kaori, right?"
Jiraiya looked intently at Naruto and said seriously, "Remember, around this time tomorrow, regardless of the outcome, I will try to contact you, or directly summon you back to Mount Myōboku using reverse summoning, so that the two sages won't worry, and also so that I can understand your situation. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Naruto nodded solemnly in response.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement and anxiety in his heart!
Naruto quickly stepped outside and stood still, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.
"Perverted Sage, I'm going back!" Naruto turned and called out to Jiraiya.
Immediately afterwards, a visible ripple of spacetime spread out from him.
With a low shout, Naruto's figure suddenly dimmed.
hum!
A faint humming sound filled the air.
The next second, the figure became distorted and blurred in the ripples, and then disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, Naruto felt the scene before him suddenly spin, and he found himself falling from Mount Myōboku into a pitch-black space where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
The surroundings were exceptionally warm and soft, filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance, completely enveloping him.
"Um?"
Naruto was stunned. What happened?
This feeling—it's kind of like being in bed?
The familiar fragrance lingering around his nose, and a soft, yielding sensation emanated from all over his body.
Even more strangely, he felt himself pressing down on something soft and warm.
The moment this absurd thought popped into his head, Naruto's heart started pounding.
No way————
A ridiculous guess sent chills down Naruto's spine. He hurriedly tried to get up and back away, but in his haste, his hand accidentally pressed against the soft object beneath him.
"Waaah————"
Just then, a soft, sleepy female voice came from beneath Naruto.
Oops!
Naruto felt a buzzing in his head and was completely stunned.
Before he could even come to his senses...
"ah!!!!"
A piercing scream suddenly rang out.
Naruto's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed into his left cheek.
Before Naruto could even scream, he was thrown sideways off the bed, completely out of control!
Bang! !
His body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily into the bedroom wall with a thud, causing the wall to tremble slightly.
Naruto felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and as he slowly slid down the wall to the floor, he was seeing stars.
After landing, he collapsed onto the ground like a lump of mud, half of his face burning with pain.
"Pervert! Pervert! How dare you get into my bed!"
A woman's voice, filled with surprise and anger, rang out in the room.
Naruto managed to clear his head a little and struggled to get up from the ground, feeling both aggrieved and helpless.
Just as the girl was angrily hurling insults, her voice suddenly stopped: "Huh?!"
Naruto groggily raised his head, and through his blurry vision, he saw a slender figure wrapped in pajamas standing by the bed.
In the dim morning light, he recognized the disheveled, bright red hair.
It's karrin!
At this moment, the girl maintained her punching posture with one hand, while frantically pulling at her collar with the other.
Her face was initially filled with rage, but after clearly seeing the figure slumped in the corner, her expression changed visibly from anger to shock, and then from shock to panicked helplessness.
"Naruto?!" Kaori finally realized that the person she had punched was Naruto, and her eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed.
She jumped off the bed and ran barefoot towards Naruto in a panic.
Xiang knelt beside Naruto, ignoring her disheveled pajamas and messy hair, frantically trying to help him up, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Are you...are you alright? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! But why did you suddenly appear on my bed and...and pin me down—"
She apologized and explained incoherently.
Naruto was helped up by her clumsy hands, and he couldn't help but gasp. While rubbing his face, he mumbled indistinctly, "Ouch, that hurts—Xiang, when did you become so strong? That punch almost blew my head off—"
"I...I don't know what happened either—" Xiang blushed, too embarrassed to look Naruto in the eye.
Naruto was still a little dazed.
He glanced down and saw a familiar three-pronged kunai lying on the ground—the very Flying Thunder God mark he had left for Xiang. He complained pitifully, "I clearly used the Flying Thunder God technique to get home, so how did I end up in your bed?!"
As he spoke, he looked up at Xiang with a confused and innocent expression, wondering if something had gone wrong with the Flying Thunder God technique.
"Flying Thunder God Technique—?" Xiang paused for a moment, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she instantly understood the reason.
The special kunai that Naruto left for himself!
She remembered that she had always kept the kunai close to her body—thinking of this, the blush on her face burned even brighter, and even the tips of her ears were tinged with a suspicious crimson.
She guiltily looked away, not daring to look at Naruto again.
"Um, well—never mind that for now!" Xianggan coughed twice, hastily changing the subject, and asked casually, "Naruto, why did you suddenly come back? Weren't you still training in Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku? What happened?"
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the corner of the room, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Naruto, using her busyness to cover up her embarrassment.
Xiang's words brought Naruto's attention back to the main topic.
He temporarily put this absurd matter out of his mind, carefully rubbed his still burning left cheek, and then quickly told Xiang everything that had happened in his dream last night.
Finally, he concluded with a serious expression, "So, both the Perverted Immortal and I are worried that if One-Eyed is still locked up in the villain's lair at the moment he was chosen, then even if he descends into reality, wouldn't he still be trapped in the same place and unable to get out? This situation is too terrible; I have to hurry home and check on his whereabouts!"
Xiang's eyes widened in surprise after hearing his story.
She still vividly remembers how powerful and reliable Naruto was in her dream.
If Naruto, now known as Uzumaki Menma, were to actually appear in reality, in what form would he take?
Xiang Yinyin felt a sense of anticipation.
"Let's go! I'll go with you!" Xiang made a quick decision, grabbed Naruto's arm, and ran outside.
"Let's go back to your room and check first!"
Before Naruto could react, he was already being dragged out the door by Kaori.
Xiang was still wearing her pajamas covered in cute strawberry patterns, completely disregarding her image. Naruto felt a warmth in his heart, both touched and grateful.
Naruto took a deep breath and opened the door with a slight tremor.
Everything in the room was as it had been when he left, except that it looked exceptionally clean and tidy.
Clearly, even though Naruto was away from home, Kaori cleaned for him every day, keeping his room in perfect order.
There wasn't a single person in the room.
Naruto stood blankly in the middle of his room, staring at the empty bed, his face filled with disappointment.
His ideal scenario was that Menma would appear directly here, but this beautiful idea ultimately failed.
Xiang also frowned.
She closed her eyes, carefully sensing any possible chakra fluctuations around her. After a moment, she slowly shook her head and said sadly, "I didn't sense any unfamiliar chakra—"
The two exchanged a glance, and a sense of unease welled up within them simultaneously.
Did Menma not appear in Konoha as expected?
Or were they just too late?
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became heavy and tense.
Just then, Naruto's heart suddenly skipped a beat without warning.
Boom!
My heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest.
The feeling wasn't pain, but rather an indescribable thrill.
At the same time, the Nine-Tails chakra sealed within him suddenly surged, as if it had sensed something and was restless.
"Um?"
Naruto groaned, instinctively clutching his chest, his brow furrowed.
He looked down at his abdomen to check the condition of the Nine-Tailed Fox seal.
However, everything was normal, the seal showed no signs of loosening, and the Nine-Tails remained obediently behind the cage.
However, that strange throbbing from the depths of my heart persisted, becoming even stronger and clearer.
Naruto stared wide-eyed, holding his breath as he carefully absorbed the sensation.
This throbbing sensation was not only real, but it was also strangely pulling him in. What shocked him even more was that it seemed to be pointing in a specific direction outside the room!
"Naruto? What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so strangely all of a sudden?" Kaori noticed Naruto's unusual behavior. She adjusted her glasses and asked with concern.
"I—I can't explain it clearly." Naruto shook his head, his confusion even more pronounced than before.
He raised his hand and pointed somewhat blankly out the window.
"I suddenly had a strange feeling, like there was something over there."
Before he could finish speaking, a bold idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Naruto's pupils suddenly contracted.
Difficult, could it be that the dough is numb?!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he slapped his forehead and shouted to Xiang, "Xiang! I'll go check things out first, see you later!"
Before he could finish speaking, Naruto had already darted to the window, braced himself against the windowsill with one hand, and nimbly leaped out of the window.
His movements were as fast as lightning, and his whole body turned into a golden afterimage.
"Hey! Naruto! Wait for me!" Kaori chased after him to the window and shouted loudly at the rapidly receding figure.
She was so anxious that she stamped her feet, wanting to catch up with him immediately.
But when she looked down, she realized she was still in her pajamas and her hair was a mess. How could she possibly go out and meet people looking like this?
"That idiot! Always so impulsive!" Xiang complained, both angry and anxious, and had no choice but to turn around and rush back to the bedroom, hurriedly starting to change her clothes.
She changed her clothes so quickly she almost tore her pajamas apart, her heart filled with worry.
Naruto should be careful not to get into any accidents if he rashly chases after them alone.
On the other side, Naruto sped through the rooftops and streets of Konoha Village like an arrow released from a bow.
At this moment, Naruto was single-minded, focusing intently on following the increasingly clear and intense throbbing in his heart.
He didn't need to discern directions; his body seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, rushing towards his goal.
The familiar streets rushed past beneath my feet, and the houses on both sides quickly receded into the distance.
Before long, the view ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a vast expanse of open woods and grassland.
Naruto recognized it; this was Konoha's Training Ground No. 44!
The towering trees standing at the edge of the training field form a natural barrier, their leaves rustling in the morning breeze.
One side of the venue is a lush forest, and the scene of him practicing tree climbing with Sakura and Sasuke in that forest seems to be still vivid in his mind.
On the other side was a flat and wide open space with several wooden stakes that were used to practice throwing kunai all year round. Thinking of the days when he and Sasuke trained here, Naruto felt a pang of sadness, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger sense of tension. The source of that throbbing seemed to be right here in this training ground!
However, the moment Naruto stepped into the training ground, the strange tremor that had been drawing him in suddenly stopped and then subsided.
"?!" Naruto stopped abruptly, nearly falling over due to inertia.
He stood there, stunned and speechless for a moment, looking completely bewildered.
"What happened—I can't feel anything anymore?!"
Naruto closed his eyes, trying hard to catch that trace of excitement again, but no matter how hard he concentrated, his heart remained calm.
He scratched his messy blond hair in confusion, opened his eyes, and looked around blankly.
The only sounds were the rustling of the wind through the treetops and the clear chirping of birds in the distance.
Everything looked perfectly normal; there were no signs of a battle on the ground, and not a single person was in sight.
It's as if nothing has happened here from the moment we left until now.
"Could it be that I was too impatient and misjudged the situation?" Naruto thought dejectedly.
Undeterred, he searched the training ground several more times, but still found nothing.
His solitary figure stood alone on the vast field.
"Damn it, what's going on?!" Naruto was extremely frustrated and clenched his fist, slamming it hard against a thick tree trunk next to him.
Boom!
With a dull thud, the bark fell off, and a few withered leaves drifted down.
At that very moment, an unfamiliar voice rang out from directly above him without warning.
"—Why are you the only one here? Where's that troublesome guy?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto was struck dumb, frozen in place!
He suddenly looked up and followed the sound. He saw a strange figure standing quietly on a thick, horizontal branch in the middle of a large, leafy tree not far away!
The person appeared silently, and it was unclear how long they had been standing there. Specks of sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting fragmented shadows on them, obscuring their face and clothing in the dappled light.
Naruto could only make out the outline and the corner of his clothes fluttering slightly in the wind.
In the silent training ground, only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and Naruto's suddenly quickened heartbeat could be heard.
