Chapter 410 Real Waterfall
After receiving the order from the leader of the coalition forces, Bai Ye, the Jinchūriki teams from each village arrived at the gathering point.

As Naruto's team leader, Kakashi was naturally one of them. After meeting the leaders Byakuya and Jiraiya, Kakashi became more and more uneasy.

Logically speaking, Byakuya is the leader of the coalition and the strongest ninja in the entire coalition, and Jiraiya is at least in the top five in the coalition. With these two strong men protecting Naruto, Naruto is undoubtedly safe.

But according to what Kushina said and my own guess.

Bai Ye’s identity is not just the leader of Akatsuki and the coalition forces. It is very likely that he has secretly reached an agreement with the masked man and others to hunt the tailed beasts together.

Leading a group of Jinchūriki to Turtle Island this time is undoubtedly walking into a trap.

But this was just his guess. Without any evidence, he could not question the actions of the leader of the coalition forces, otherwise he would be regarded as a traitor to the ninja world.

Bai Ye noticed Kakashi's expression and came over to comfort him: "Kakashi, relax. Our protection of the Jinchūriki will be very smooth this time. You should think about how to deal with the masked man."

"Remember what I said? You are the only ninja who can deal with the masked man."

Kakashi was shocked. In his eyes, Bai Ye's smiling face was just a disguise of the devil. He couldn't even figure out Bai Ye's specific intentions, why he secretly joined forces with the masked man and others, and ran to the coalition to serve as the leader.

Jiraiya also came over to comfort him: "Kakashi, just relax. With a few of us here, we can still fight even if we face Uchiha Madara's true form."

What I am worried about is not Uchiha Madara, but Byakuya...

Kakashi thought to himself, but he couldn't explain at this moment, so he could only smile and say: "I know the strength of Chief Bai Ye and Lord Jiraiya, I am wondering who the masked man is and why he is working for Uchiha Madara."

"Who knows? Maybe it's just an Uchiha who went astray."

Jiraiya sighed softly, then looked in the direction of Konohagakure, his heart full of worry.

Although Uchiha Madara and the masked man are targeting the Jinchūriki, if they attack Konoha while the main force leaves Konoha, the village will not be able to launch any effective counterattack.

But if the forces are not combined, the major ninja villages will be defeated one by one.

Jiraiya didn't know what kind of world the Infinite Tsukuyomi described by Uchiha Madara was, but his intuition told him that such a world had lost hope and also lost itself.

In other words, giving the power of life and death to others is itself a foolish act.

After all the personnel arrived, Bai Ye took out a dozen aircraft from the storage scroll. These aircraft were the latest products of Akatsuki's scientific research. As long as they were regularly supplied with wind-style chakra, they would be able to fly.

When they saw the aircraft, Jiraiya and Kakashi were slightly stunned.

They obviously didn't realize that the chakra technology of the ninja world had been developed to such an extent, but after hearing the speed of the aircraft, Jiraiya and Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

These aircraft consume a large amount of chakra. Even with the help of users to replenish it, they can only maintain two to three hours of flight at most, and the speed is only two to three hundred kilometers per hour.

This flying speed is not even as fast as the speed of elite jonin.

Given the amount of chakra they both had, it was very easy for them to cross a distance of thousands of kilometers overnight.

Naruto, Gaara and Killer Bee accepted it quickly. After asking about the usage, they began to try flying.

And because of the tailed beast in the body, the chakra consumption can be ignored.

After the test flight, several people spoke highly of Bai Ye's aircraft, but the members of the Cloud Village and Sand Village teams were worried.

The technological development speed of the Hidden Rain Village is so rapid that if a war breaks out between them and the Hidden Rain Village, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, these people no longer dared to think about it.

……

A day later, Bai Ye and his group, led by the Cloud Ninja, arrived at Turtle Island.

Turtle Island is a legendary island in the eastern waters of the Ninja World. According to fishermen, Turtle Island's existence is uncertain, often appearing during heavy fog, and mysteriously disappearing when the fog dissipates.

In addition to the Hidden Cloud Village, the other major ninja villages are also inquiring about the location of Turtle Island.

The reason is very simple. In addition to cultivating jinchūriki, Kame Island is also a holy place for cultivating chunin and special jonin. If an attack can be launched here, it will cause a serious blow to the new era of the Hidden Cloud Village.

After seeing the full picture of Turtle Island, everyone finally understood why Turtle Island is called Turtle Island.

It’s not because the shape of the island is similar to a turtle, but because Turtle Island itself exists on the body of a giant psychic beast, and the island is the turtle itself.

Jiraiya couldn't help but say, "How can there be such a huge summoning beast in the ninja world? It's not even on the same level as the toad in Myoboku Mountain. It's too big."

Hearing this, the Cloud Ninja leading the way raised a smile.

It is precisely because of the existence of this Turtle Island that the Hidden Cloud Village can continuously produce perfect Jinchūriki. Compared with the Turtle Island, the so-called three holy places of Konoha are nothing.

Bai Ye quietly sensed the turtle's chakra, and found that the turtle's chakra was no less powerful than that of the tailed beast.

It's a pity that the turtle seems to have fallen into a deep sleep a long time ago, otherwise I would like to communicate with this behemoth and learn about the past history of the ninja world.

The immortals in the three holy places can live for thousands of years, and the long-lived sea turtles should also live for a very long time.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye said to the Cloud Ninja: "Can this turtle communicate with humans? If it can, I would like to talk to it."

The Cloud Ninja said with a wary look in his eyes, "Chief Bai Ye, what do you want to talk to it about."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I felt an extremely huge amount of chakra from Kamejima. This chakra is not inferior to the tailed beasts. I wonder if I can use him to deal with Uchiha Madara."

After hearing this, the Cloud Ninja breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The Island Turtle has been asleep for many years. Only a specially made horn can communicate with it, but it can only connect with part of the Island Turtle's consciousness."

After a pause, the Cloud Ninja continued, "Moreover, Lord Shimagame has no interest in fighting, otherwise the Hidden Cloud Village would not have lost in every Ninja World War."

After hearing this, Bai Ye sighed softly, then signaled the Cloud Ninja to continue leading the team.

Bai Ye showed a regretful expression while moving on the island, which attracted Jiraiya's attention. He walked over and said:
"Bai Ye, why are you so listless? Did something happen?"

Bai Ye smiled disapprovingly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my strength has reached the evaluation level recently, and I can't continue to improve. I have been looking for ways to become stronger."

"If my strength stops here, I don't know if we can defeat Uchiha Madara."

Jiraiya asked curiously: "Bai Ye, you are already strong enough. I can't think of any way to make you stronger. But I just heard that you wanted to talk to Dao Gui. Why?" Bai Ye looked at the ground, then looked at Naruto not far away, and then said:
"Since you asked, Brother Jiraiya, there is no need for me to hide it from you. I am looking for a way to use natural energy. The human body has limited chakra. If I want to go further, I must use natural energy."

"Using natural energy, isn't that a magic technique?"

Jiraiya thought for a while, then said: "Bai Ye, you want Daogui to teach you the skills of using immortal arts? In my opinion, you'd better find the immortals from the three holy places. Only immortals can master immortal arts."

Bai Ye's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Jiraiya, you call yourself the Toad Sage, do you also master the techniques of using celestial arts?"

Jiraiya nodded, pointed at Naruto and said:

"Not only me, Naruto has also learned senjutsu, but it takes a very long time to practice senjutsu. Even if you join our Myoboku Mountain, it may be difficult for you to learn senjutsu in a short period of time."

"Why have I never seen you use it..." Bai Ye said lightly.

Jiraiya's face froze, and then he said: "My cultivation of senjutsu is not complete, and I need the help of the Toad Sage to complete it. However, Naruto has completely mastered senjutsu, and he is a natural senjutsu seedling."

"However, Bai Ye, you have an extremely high talent, and you may also have similar talent in immortal arts."

"Why don't I summon the sage Fukasaku and the sage Shima later to see if I can introduce you to Mount Myōboku. It would be great if it can improve your strength."

Hearing this, Bai Ye's smile became even more intense: "Brother Jiraiya is really generous, but after all, I am not a ninja from Konoha, so forget it."

Jiraiya shook his head and said:

"Konoha and the Uzumaki ninja are one family. What's more, if I don't help you improve your strength, I don't know how you're going to get through Uchiha Madara."

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

After Jiraiya's repeated invitations, Byakuya reluctantly agreed to go to Mount Myoboku. This was also one of the reasons why he arranged Jiraiya to Kame Island. He wanted to meet the giant toad sage of Mount Myoboku.

The Great Toad Sage lived for thousands of years and once designed a plan for the Six Paths Brothers to defeat Kaguya.

In the profession of the mastermind, he is my senior, so even if he is a senior, we naturally need to exchange experiences and talk about each other's thoughts.

Listening to the conversation between Bai Ye and Jiraiya, Kakashi's mouth twitched slightly, and he was already numb.

He realized that Bai Ye's target might be Mount Myoboku, but he could do nothing about it. He could only wait until Bai Ye showed his true colors before he could stand up and oppose.

Not long after, the group arrived at the central area of ​​Turtle Island, which is the hub of Turtle Island, a place to eat and rest, and connects training grounds for different functions.

After eating in the central area, Killer Bee took Naruto and Gaara to training.

The training items mainly revolve around communicating with the tailed beasts, controlling their chakra, etc. Only when one can communicate with the tailed beasts and use their chakra perfectly can one be called a perfect jinchūriki.

The perfect Jinchūriki that appear in the ninja world are all Kage-level warriors.

……

Jiraiya and Byakuya listened to the Kumo Ninja explain the special places and secret areas in different areas of Kame Island.

The most special place on Turtle Island is undoubtedly the Real Waterfall. After entering the Real Waterfall, you can see the truest self. After defeating the evil in your heart, you can greatly improve your chakra control.

Bai Ye glanced at Jiraiya and said to him, "Jiraiya, why don't we go to the real waterfall and see if we can gain anything."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

He also didn't know what the evil side of his heart was like, and whether he could overcome his weaknesses.

Soon, the two arrived at the real waterfall and saw the magical waterfall.

I saw a Cloud Ninja standing in front of the Real Waterfall. Not long after he walked into the Real Waterfall, the originally confident Cloud Ninja seemed to have aged by dozens of years, with a haggard face.

After seeing this scene, Jiraiya and Byakuya were very curious.

What on earth did the Cloud Ninja see in there that could make his mood become so bad in just a few minutes? Could it be that the scene of social death was exposed in there?

At this time, the Kumogakure jonin explained: "It seems that he still hasn't defeated himself. The Real Waterfall is not that easy to deal with. His strength may only stop here."

Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "Guide, have you passed the real waterfall?"

The Kumogakure Jonin's expression changed slightly, and he stammered:

"I failed back then too, but failure is nothing, and I don't want to become a Jinchūriki or a Raikage, but Jiraiya and Byakuya-sama, you two might have a chance of success."

Is this a method of provocation?
Bai Ye and Jiraiya looked at each other and saw through the tricks of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, but since they had come to the real waterfall, they still wanted to come over and challenge him.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and walked towards the real waterfall: "Let me challenge you first and see if I can defeat my evil self."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, agreeing to let Jiraiya try it first.

Jiraiya came to the real waterfall, walked in slowly, stayed inside for more than ten minutes, and finally walked out of the real waterfall.

But compared to before, Jiraiya's face was full of fatigue.

Bai Ye saw this scene and asked curiously: "Jiraiya, what did you go through in there? Did you overcome the evil in your heart?"

Jiraiya was silent for a long time, then nodded: "It is more difficult to face my inner self than I thought. After seeing the evil self, I realized that I have been avoiding it."

"Escape from your job as a Sannin, escape from your responsibilities as a Hokage, and escape from your own ideals."

"So do you think you have defeated him?" Bai Ye asked solemnly, trying to get information from Jiraiya.

Jiraiya shook his head, sighed and said:

"I don't know either. Maybe you can only know the answer after you do it yourself."

Bai Ye frowned. He felt that Jiraiya was trying to trick him, but since Jiraiya had already gone in, there was no way he wouldn't go in too.

Slowly standing up, Bai Ye entered the real waterfall cleanly and neatly.
