Chapter 687: Reunion at Mount Myōboku
At this moment, Urashiki and Ryūshiki were preparing to head to the ninja world to investigate. And Sasuke had also returned to the ninja world. At the same time, sensing Kimimaro's chakra, he prepared to go find him.
On the other side, after Naruto learned the news about Jiraiya from Jugo, he couldn't sit still at all. In the Hokage's office, looking at the somewhat distraught Naruto, everyone else was silent. Naruto's current state was not at all what the Sixth Hokage should be like! Even the First Hokage and the others were very curious.
"This ninja named Jiraiya, who is he? Is he very strong?"
Strong?
Shikamaru stood up to answer this question. "Lord First Hokage, it's not a question of being strong or not. Lord Jiraiya, as one of Konoha's Sannin, his strength is naturally beyond doubt."
"Although he might not be as formidable as Lord First Hokage, he is also a solid Kage-level ninja!"
"At the same time, he is also the Sixth's esteemed master!"
Now the First Hokage understood. No wonder Naruto looked so distraught, suddenly unable to hold back his tears.
"No wonder!" Now the First Hokage could also understand. When one's esteemed master from the past reappeared, no one could possibly remain calm! Moreover, it seemed that this person named Jiraiya had a great influence on Naruto!
"Shikamaru, I'll temporarily leave the village's affairs to you!"
Hearing this, Shikamaru nodded. As the Hokage's assistant, he was long accustomed to handling the village's affairs when Naruto was away. Although the many matters in the village were very tricky right now, it wasn't impossible for him to handle them.
"Go!"
"Go and bring Lord Jiraiya back!"
Hearing this, Naruto nodded heavily.
Getting to Mount Myōboku was a bit troublesome for Sasuke, but for Naruto, it was very simple. He just had to have a contract toad return to Mount Myōboku and then perform a reverse summoning to bring him over. And with Lord Fukasaku and Lord Shima, there was no problem at all.
"Naruto, should we send someone to the Land of Whirlpools to check!"
"Your father, Lord Fourth Hokage, didn't he say he was going to the Land of Whirlpools to find your mother, who might appear!"
Hearing this, Naruto didn't know how to decide. His father didn't seem to be the father from the period when he was married and had children. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone directly to the Land of Whirlpools to find his mother without even returning to the village!
However, since his father was here, his mother must be fine too! After they met, they would probably first understand the situation, then mentally prepare themselves to meet their future son. Naruto could roughly imagine this, so he decided not to disturb them.
"Let them come on their own!"
"When they are ready to see me, they should come!"
"Before that, there's no need to disturb them." After Naruto finished speaking, he also sighed silently. He also wanted to see his parents, but thinking that his parents were both from a time before they were married, to them, Naruto was a stranger. It was very unlikely for them to show feelings like parents towards their children. Thinking of this, Naruto also felt very pained.
But at this time, there was no time for Naruto to think too long. The next second, a puff of smoke appeared, and Naruto was reverse-summoned away.
Arriving at Mount Myōboku, Naruto didn't expect that his trip would take several days. And during these few days, major incidents would successively break out in Konoha.
Mount Myōboku. The place where Naruto had previously trained in Sage Mode. At this moment, Jiraiya was also here training in Sage Mode, and he had completely overcome the flaws left from his previous Sage Mode training. He became the second ninja after Naruto to master perfect Sage Mode.
Fukasaku looked at the young Jiraiya before him. "Not bad! Jiraiya, I told you you could do it, but you... you just wouldn't work hard yourself, always saying you had many things to do!"
"Why are you suddenly willing to work hard now!"
The reason he was willing to work hard now was simple. He knew he would die in the future, and he did not want to die just like that.
To live! This was Jiraiya's sole purpose for training hard.
And at this time, a figure quietly appeared. It appeared behind Jiraiya. The moment Jiraiya sensed the other party, he felt a terrifying cold sweat break out all over his body. At the same time, he turned around and swiftly kicked towards the other party's head. But at the last moment, he held back his strength, and his leg stopped.
He looked at the person before him, draped in the Hokage's ceremonial robe. This young man before him was the Hokage of this era, and also his future disciple.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Jiraiya softly called Naruto's name.
And hearing Jiraiya's voice again, Naruto's eyes were somewhat moist. His face was full of smiles. He looked at the Jiraiya before him, although he was not much like the Jiraiya in his memory. The current Jiraiya was very young, probably not much older than himself. But Jiraiya at this age should be in his prime, and such a Jiraiya was also very good.
"Master!"
"I'm very happy to see you again, although the current you may not know me!" The Jiraiya from this point in time definitely didn't know Naruto. But Naruto also knew that Jiraiya probably understood what this place was and why he had appeared here.
"Master, are you trying to increase your strength and then change your destiny!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya nodded. He didn't even know what to say to Naruto! However, seeing Jiraiya admit it, Naruto sighed silently!
"Master, everything you are doing in this time now is useless!"
"Because when we send you back to your own time, we will erase all your memories of this era!"
"You will forget everything here!"
Erase memories?
"How do you plan to erase them, something like hypnosis? That kind of ability shouldn't be possible, right! It's easy to remember again!" Seeing that Jiraiya seemed a bit disbelieving, Naruto sighed. "Master, do you know of an Uchiha dōjutsu called Kotoamatsukami?"
Kotoamatsukami! Jiraiya shook his head.
"The dōjutsu Kotoamatsukami can freely modify someone's memories. This is no longer a simple genjutsu!" Hearing this, Jiraiya was shocked. Modifying memories, what kind of perverse dōjutsu was this?
"Impossible, how could such a dōjutsu exist? Even if there is such a dōjutsu, the cost of activating it once would probably be very high!"
"That's right!" Naruto nodded. "I think the huge cost of activating this dōjutsu should be dōjutsu power, but my companion Sasuke, for his dōjutsu power to cast Kotoamatsukami... is not a problem at all."
So that meant, his training here, everything he did, seemed to be a waste of effort?
"Are you asking me to accept my own destiny?" Jiraiya's tone hardened. Naruto also knew that Jiraiya's favorability towards him had probably dropped quite a bit.
"Master, Sasuke said, when you play with time, you will also be played by time. Destiny... after being changed, will cause a series of terrible chain reactions!"
"It could even threaten the entire world, so I..."
"I don't want to die, much less be killed by my own disciple!" Jiraiya suddenly said. Such a Jiraiya made Naruto feel a bit unfamiliar, completely different from what he had imagined...

📢 An Important Announcement Regarding the Translation and New Directions! 📢
Hello, dear readers and fellow ninja journey companions! ❤️
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for my disappearance in the last few days and for the absence of new chapters of our beloved fanfic. I know you eagerly await each update, and I'm very sorry for this unexpected pause.
I have an important announcement about the future of our translation of "Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents." To maintain the quality and consistency you deserve, I had to make a difficult decision: from now on, we will be posting one chapter per day.
"But why?" you must be wondering. The truth is, the process of bringing this story to you has been more complex than I imagined. The website where I find the original Chinese version inserts several slashes (□) in the middle of the words. This makes the image-to-text conversion process enormously difficult. Each chapter requires a meticulous review to ensure no words are lost and, most laboriously, for every word containing these slashes, I need to manually rewrite the Chinese passage to ensure the translation is accurate. 😫
As you can imagine, this consumes a gigantic amount of time, and to avoid compromising the quality of what I deliver to you, I had to slow down the pace.
✨ But here comes the good news and a special invitation! ✨
If you love "Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Talents" as much as I do and would like to see more chapters posted daily, I invite you to consider supporting me on Patreon! With your support, I can dedicate more time and resources to speed up this process.
Check out our goals:
🎯 With 20 paying members, we'll go back to posting 2 chapters per day!
🌟 With 30 paying members, we'll increase to 3 chapters per day!
🚀 With 40 paying members, we'll have 4 chapters per day!
🔥 And with 50 paying members, we'll reach the incredible milestone of 5 chapters per day!
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference and helps me continue bringing this and other stories to you.

I sincerely thank you for your understanding, patience, and all the affection you show. I will continue to do my best to bring you the best possible content!
A big hug and see you in the next chapter! Leanzin
