The doctor said that the wound was not serious.

"In that case... is Naruto okay?" Sakura looked at Jiraiya and Kakashi with some surprise.

Sasuke's eyes lit up and he subconsciously asked Naruto: "How long will it take you to heal yourself?"

Naruto touched the back of his head: "It will take about... five years to fully recover from this kind of injury."

Five... five years?

Sakura and Sasuke were dumbfounded at the same time. Five years is not long, but it's not short either. They are all twelve-year-old boys now, and they will only be seventeen in five years. It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But if you think about it carefully, it will take five years for Naruto to recover. During this period, isn't it equivalent to losing a teammate? What's the difference between this and Naruto not being a ninja?

"It's too long." Sakura was a little discouraged.

"You can't say that." Sasuke shook his head and said, "It's a miracle that Naruto survived his injuries. The hospital said he couldn't be a ninja, but now he not only survived, but he can continue to be a ninja in five years. If you think about it this way..."

Sasuke sighed after saying that.

Although he said that, Sasuke was still a little unwilling in his heart. He now recognized Naruto and truly regarded Naruto as a partner and opponent. He finally wanted to compete with Naruto, but now he learned that Naruto could only continue to be a ninja in five years.

He didn't feel unwilling for himself, but for Naruto. He obviously had such a strong power, but he was dragged down by his injuries for five years and could only be an ordinary person. Sasuke subconsciously compared in his heart, five years in exchange for Konoha's temporary stability, is it worth it?

Naruto didn't think so much. He just smiled foolishly and touched the back of his head: "Tsunade can shorten my recovery time. According to Kurama's calculation, with Tsunade's help, I can recover my combat effectiveness within three months at the latest, and even less than a month at the fastest."

Of course, Kurama's recovery of combat effectiveness refers to Naruto's original combat effectiveness. It will take longer to continue to use Kurama's chakra. Apart from anything else, the erosion of Naruto's body caused by Kurama's chakra this time is too strong, even Tsunade will have to work hard.

Hearing this, Sasuke's eyes were determined: "I understand, I will wait for the day when you recover, and then I will complete the duel that was not completed in the Chunin Exam."

Naruto's eyes lit up, and the whole person looked at Sasuke firmly: "I won't let you go!"

The two seemed to release lightning in their eyes, colliding in the void, and the temperament of no one admitting defeat made Sakura feel like an outsider.

She laughed at the two men's majestic appearance, but her face dimmed: "If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't even have the qualification to see your back..."

She didn't say this.

Kakashi looked at the faces of the three people, and a trace of relief appeared on his face. He pulled down his forehead to block his Sharingan: "Jiraiya-sama, I agree that Naruto will follow you to find Tsunade-sama, because I also hope that Naruto can recover soon."

Jiraiya thought silently for a long time. After about half a minute, he smiled helplessly at the eyes of the four people: "I know, I agree that Naruto, you will go with me."

"Okay!" Naruto was excited.

"But!" Before Naruto finished his excitement, Jiraiya continued, "You must listen to my command along the way. I will be responsible for protecting you, and I will also supervise you. If your injuries show signs of worsening during this period, I will send you back immediately."

"Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Lecherous Immortal, I am the most self-conscious person." Naruto patted his chest and promised.

You are self-aware, Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura rolled their eyes at the same time. If Naruto is self-aware, then there will be no messy people in this world. This guy has been messing around and injured himself in every battle.

But... forget it, seeing that he was injured to protect Konoha, they will not fight with this guy.

But having said that, Naruto still needs the help of the lecherous sage: "Lecherous sage, before leaving, can I have a few words with Gaara from the Sand Village? The Sand Village should not have redeemed that guy yet?"

"Indeed." Jiraiya nodded, "but why do you want to see him?"

In addition to the ninjas killed in the Konoha Collapse Plan, all the Sand and Sound Ninjas were captured. Now Konoha is communicating with the Sand and Sound Villages. After all, it is the victorious country, and it has paid the life of a Kage. Konoha will definitely let these two villages

Pay the price.

The Otogakure has already given up. They have paid all the money they should pay. They act like they are like this. If you don't like it, you can come and fight. At most, the village will be destroyed. This makes Konoha very angry.

As for the Sandgakure, in one word, poor.

Anyway, we have no money, so we can do whatever we want.

Even if we don't want the tailed beast, Konoha dare not take it privately. After all, you already have the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails. If you have another tailed beast, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other powers. If you don't want to be besieged by the four major powers of Thunder, Water, Rock, and Wind, you'd better return the tailed beast.

We can pay for other ninjas, but we are poor, so we set the price. If it doesn't work, we can drag it out and see who can drag it out longer.

To be honest, Jiraiya really wanted to send troops to fight against the Sand Village, and even prepared the Anbu to sneak into the Wind Country, but the two Hokage advisors relied on their relationship with the daimyo and refused to let the war start. They said that if they were to be shinobi for a while, they would have peace and tranquility. Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly didn't want to see the peace he had been managing for so many years destroyed.

This made Jiraiya very annoyed, and in the end, it was left unresolved. The war could not be fought at all. Jiraiya guessed that these two old guys were not from Konoha after all. Could they be undercover agents?

Konoha's current mess is definitely related to these two Hokage advisors.

Still want him to be Hokage? What the hell, whoever wants to be the Hokage can be the Hokage. Anyway, Jiraiya couldn't stand this bird's anger, and he was really not suitable to be the Hokage. He was too emotional. Tsunade was better. With Tsunade's reputation in Konoha, these two old guys didn't dare to make trouble.

After all, she is the one who created the medical system of Konoha, which makes Konoha invincible. In addition, the first Hokage is her grandfather, the second Hokage is her second grandfather, and the third Hokage is her teacher. Tsunade's reputation in Konoha is at its peak.

Anyway, I'm ranked first, and you can follow me as you like.

I've got off track. In short, the ninjas of Sand Village are being redeemed by Sand Village bit by bit. The rest are all big fish and the Jinchuriki Gaara. It's nothing for Naruto to see Gaara. Jiraiya just wants to know the reason.
