Each village is sending three powerful shinobi, and among them, one person must be chosen to lead the squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone wanted Takuya to take the role, but he has other important missions to handle. That's why he recommended you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He went through a lot of effort to convince the other villages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This opportunity didn't come easy. I hope you won't let everyone down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opportunity my ass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya had zero interest in leading this squad—he wanted to go out and enjoy himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn you, Yagami Takuya! You refused to step into this pit, so you just shoved me into the fire instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya clutched his chest in exaggerated agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Can I refuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other villages' shinobi are already heading toward Konoha. As soon as the squad is assembled, your first mission will begin. You think you can just back out now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides you, who else can keep Kitsuchi and A under control?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want this squad to descend into chaos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya cursed inwardly. There was no way out of this, was there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did trouble always seem to find him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine, I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple failed attempts to weasel his way out, Jiraiya slumped back in his chair, staring lifelessly at the ceiling of the Hokage's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew this was exactly how it would play out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idiot was still trying to run off and do whatever he wanted. Takuya's plan had been spot on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot a sidelong glance at Jiraiya, who looked like the world had ended for him, then promptly ignored him and returned to her work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade had no objections to forming the special operations squad—in fact, she fully supported it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the five villages weren't going to mobilize their full forces against Madara Uchiha, then at least a specialized squad could investigate and gather intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it was a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing something was always better than doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking Madara's movements and collecting intel would put some pressure on him, even if only a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you've got nothing else to say, go get ready. Don't embarrass Konoha. Kitsuchi and A aren't exactly patient people—if you can't keep them in line, you're screwed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the still-distraught Jiraiya, Tsunade's forehead twitched in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was doing it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's killing intent…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger, Jiraiya shot up from his chair, hastily scratching his head with an awkward laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahaha, Tsunade, I'll head back now and prepare! I mean, as a senior, I can't afford to make a fool of myself in front of the younger generation, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the warning in her gaze, Jiraiya immediately added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry! Everything will be fine. I'll lead this squad properly, track down Madara Uchiha's trail, and gather as much useful intel as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was genuinely afraid Tsunade might hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A punch from her could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! As long as you know what's good for you. Now get lost and stop whining—I wouldn't trust anyone else with this mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade huffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah right, this isn't about trust. You just wanted to dump this mess on me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya kept those thoughts to himself, forcing a weak smile as he quickly slipped out of the Hokage's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he stepped outside, his expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His usual carefree demeanor faded, replaced by a serious look. Raising his right hand, he rubbed his chin, tugging at the stubble that had started to grow there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This could get complicated. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigating Madara Uchiha was no small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going up against someone like that wasn't something to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, Jiraiya would carry out his mission properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Kitsuchi and A?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya wasn't worried about them. Like Tsunade had said, if he couldn't handle them, he might as well retire and find a rock to smash his head against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how headstrong they were, they wouldn't dare challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, they would have to show some respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And unlike other potential captains, Jiraiya had the seniority and skill to command them properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else were in charge, there was no guarantee Kitsuchi and A would follow orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya, Kushina, and Pakura had spent their time enjoying themselves in Iwagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina was practically a wild horse off its reins—she was impossible to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ōnoki hadn't assigned anyone to spy on them. As long as they didn't enter restricted areas, they were free to roam the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where should we go today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munching on a local Iwagakure snack, Kushina was already thinking about what new things to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Takuya only chuckled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't have time for that anymore. It's time to head to Kumogakure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina froze, looking devastated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So soon? Takuya, didn't you say we'd only go after the Third Raikage personally invited us? We still have time to enjoy ourselves before that happens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya sighed, rubbing his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too late for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's already here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pakura stifled a laugh while Kushina's face instantly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... does that mean he heard what I just said?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of embarrassment hit her like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage, who had already arrived at their residence, made no effort to conceal his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful leap, he landed on the balcony, his expression warm and welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are plenty of fun places to visit in Kumogakure. You're all more than welcome. If you don't mind, feel free to explore and enjoy yourselves to the fullest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to disappear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina's face turned bright red as she immediately dove into Takuya's arms to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting her back reassuringly, Takuya glanced at the Third Raikage and remarked, \"I thought you'd take a bit longer to get here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The safety of the village comes first,\" the Third Raikage replied with a smile. \"A has a bit of a temper. Allow me to apologize on his behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still too embarrassed to show her face, Kushina buried herself deeper into Takuya's chest and muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fine, I forgive him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage had once been just as hot-headed as A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, he had mellowed out, but his younger days were definitely reflected in A's personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Kushina was willing to let it slide, the Raikage's smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a gesture of goodwill, I've already sent the special operations squad ahead to Konoha. Would the three of you be willing to visit Kumogakure for a few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given them plenty of face, extended his apologies, and even personally came to invite them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, declining would feel rude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering their belongings and bidding farewell to Ōnoki, the three of them set off with the Third Raikage toward Kumogakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, they're gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Takuya and his group leave, Ōnoki let out a deep sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been worried that Takuya would use his time in Iwagakure to gather intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, that hadn't been the case—Takuya had genuinely spent his time sightseeing with Kushina and Pakura, without any signs of espionage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no matter how peaceful their visit had been, outsiders were always outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having them around had brought its share of inconveniences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now things can finally begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ōnoki relaxed, another hidden figure did the same—Black Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been too afraid to make a move while Takuya was in Iwagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Takuya was gone, Ōnoki would undoubtedly resume his research into the Rinnegan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was exactly the opportunity Black Zetsu had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(P)(S): If you're interested, you can read the rest of the Chapter at Patreon com\u002F Emik01.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DO NOT FORGET POWER STONE AND CHATTING\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-06-05T21:22:46.446Z",1,"novelbin.me","6dfcadb3855edebf8aa7e4c4be84fcc15e16f14a87d0bf6abea402f97237e9b7","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-584","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-582",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
