Two days flew by.
Konoha’s three thousand army successfully arrived at the border junction between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain and stationed here.
Under the order of Akimichi Torifu, the army set up camp and established an unbreakable line of defense.
Then a large number of small troops were dispatched to conduct in-depth investigation and harassment in the Country of Rain, trying to find out the strength of Amegakure in the shortest possible time.
After that, as long as Jiraiya and Uchiha’s people support the front line, they can launch a general attack on Amegakure.
This side of Konoha.
The village has gradually recovered from the previous turmoil, the damaged buildings have been repaired, and injured ninjas and villagers have been discharged from the hospital one after another.
With the Sandaime’s order, the focus of the Hokage Building’s work officially shifted to preparations for the Chunin Exam.
Uchiha tribe, Muscle reform department.
Dan haven’t been idle in the past two days.He has been talking about a false and submissive love with Samui, cultivating the “feeling” between each other.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly, and it has almost reached the point of becoming inseparable.
This evening.
Tsunade suddenly came to the door and said that she wanted to drink with him.
Showing some courtesy to him.
Dan could tell at a glance that Tsunade had transplanted the Sharingan, and most likely wanted to ask him privately for advice on how to better use these eyes.
He also happened to want to ask Tsunade how she felt after having her Sharingan transplanted.
So he readily agreed.
Under the ambiguous gazes of others, the two walked out of the Muscle Reform Department building.
“The curator is really busy. He shouldn’t be dating two women at the same time, right?”
“Speaking of which, Tsunade-sama and Samui are indeed the same type of beauties. Is the curator’s behavior considered to be flirtatious or single-minded?”
Everyone was talking quietly behind the scenes.
The sun sets in the west.
At the entrance of Konoha Village, a man with a long history of travels walked slowly from a distance, bathing in the sunset.
He is over 1.9 meters tall, with wild long white hair hanging down to his waist. Wearing a red coat, wooden clogs, a forehead protector with the word “oil” written on it, and a huge scroll on his back.
The wanderer has returned home.
“I haven’t been back for several years, and the village still hasn’t changed much. I really miss…the women’s bathhouse in Konoha.”
Jiraiya had a look of emotion on his face, and his lecherous nature was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.
certainly.
What he missed most was that woman.
“I heard that Tsunade is back, and I don’t know if she is still as young and beautiful as before. Hehe.”
Jiraiya murmured to himself, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised, revealing a slightly lewd smile.
at this time.
“Jiraiya-sama.”
Two Anbu appeared in an instant and saluted Jiraiya, “Hokage-sama is already waiting for you in the office.”
“Okay, lead the way.”
Jiraiya looked solemn, and quickly put away his frivolity, knowing that business was more important.
ten minutes later.
Jiraiya met the Sandaime and learned about Akatsuki from the latter.
“What?!”
When he learned that the founders of Akatsuki were actually the three disciples he took in at the Amegakure at the end of the Second Ninja War.
He looked shocked and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Many years ago.
In his youth, Jiraiya learned about his destiny from the mouth of the giant toad sage in Mt. Myoboku who could predict the future——
He will accept a child as his disciple, and this child will become the child of prophecy and bring unprecedented peace or destruction to the ninja world.
Since then, Jiraiya has embarked on a journey to find his disciples.
During the Second Ninja War.
When he saw Nagato with Rinnegan on the battlefield of Amegakure, he once thought that Nagato was the son of the prophecy he was looking for.
He carefully taught Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan for three years, and then had to leave to end that damn war.
But on the day the war ended, Jiraiya heard the news that his disciples had died.
He was deeply hit and shed tears of regret. After the war, he cheered up and embarked on the journey again.
“Really…are they Nagato and the others?”
For a moment, Jiraiya still found it hard to believe this.
“I’m afraid so.”
The Sandaime sighed.
Regarding Akatsuki’s information, he specifically confirmed it with Danzo.
Danzo once intervened in the internal disputes in Amegakure Village with Root, and joined forces with Hanzo to cause heavy damage to the then-new Akatsuki organization.
Also killed Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki.
Danzo had witnessed the power of the Rinnegan with his own eyes, and had always had information about Nagato in his hands. He even thought about taking Nagato’s power as his own one day in the future.
The Sandaime told Jiraiya truthfully about these things.
Because he knew that no matter how he concealed it, Jiraiya would know all the truth as soon as he saw Nagato.
“…”
Jiraiya became more and more shocked.
Only now did he know that it was the high-level officials of Konoha who persecuted his disciples and killed Yahiko, which made Nagato hate Konoha even more and finally went to extremes.
but.
Danzo, the culprit who caused all this, has been punished as he should have been. He was dismissed from his post and imprisoned.
For Konoha.
What can be done now is to try to reconcile with Akatsuki and persuade Nagato to surrender. If reconciliation fails, it can only be solved through the cruel power of war.
This serious task fell on Jiraiya.
“I see.”
Jiraiya took a deep breath and was ready to wake up.
At this moment, he remembered the prediction made to him by the Great Toad Immortal.
It says that one day, Jiraiya will face his disciples and be forced to make a choice, and his choice will lead the world to peace or destruction.
It seems.
The time to make a choice has arrived.
“In this case, without further ado, I will leave for Amegakure immediately to meet with Nagato.”
Jiraiya’s eyes were bright and he made a decision immediately.
Even though he had just returned to the village and his butt was still hot, Jiraiya knew that this matter was extremely urgent and he could not allow him to rest.
“Don’t worry.”
The Sandaime comforted Jiraiya and told him, “You are tired from traveling all the way. You should have a good night’s rest. I will immediately send someone to notify the Uchiha clan and order them to assemble their elites and go to the front line with you tomorrow.”
“……good.”
Although Jiraiya was anxious, he still obeyed the Sandaime’s arrangement and was led by the Anbu to rest.
Night falls and the lanterns are lit.
The noisy and lively nightlife of Konoha Village has begun again.
Jiraiya walked out of the room and came to the streets of Konoha.
How could he possibly sleep?
It wasn’t just the matter with Nagato that troubled him.
Going to the front line this time, life or death is unknown. Jiraiya had already prepared for the worst about what might happen after seeing Nagato.
He may not come back.
So before setting off, he was extremely eager to meet Tsunade.
Unconsciously.
Jiraiya arrived at the gate of the Uchiha clan.
He inquired.
After Tsunade returned to the village, she lived with the Uchiha clan and became very close to Uchiha Dan, the current assistant of Hokage. There were even scandals between the two.
Jiraiya felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, he had loved Tsunade all his life and was rejected by her all his life.
Just as he was wandering outside the door, hesitating whether to go in to find Tsunade.
The figure that haunted Jiraiya appeared.
