Chapter 524: Suspicion
I really didn't expect that at such a time, Mr. Jiraiya would suddenly appear.
However, just by looking at his reddened eyes with a look of pain, Sakura could guess that he must have known the news of the death of the Miyome Hokage-sama, and only this news would allow one of the three shinobi to be so casual and carefree, with a haggard expression on his face.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you, where have you been-"
Naruto had been relieved from the sadness of the death of the third Hokage-sama after so many days, but the moment he saw Jiraiya-sensei, Naruto's eyes turned red again, and then the tears filled the entire eye socket.
"Did you know that before the death of the third Hokage-sama, Sakura and I frantically searched for you, but we couldn't find you. ”
It's good that Naruto didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Sakura's eyes turned red on the spot.
If it weren't for her own greed for life and fear of death, she didn't tell Jiraiya-sensei in advance, perhaps, Miyome Hokage-sama wouldn't have died.
"Alright, Naruto, don't talk about this anymore-"
People who are so free and easy, at this moment, they are also enduring the pain.
Naruto was mentioned to the consciousness of fire twice after the death of the third Hokage-sama this time, which undoubtedly made him grow a lot, so after seeing Jiraiya-sensei in such pain, he also bowed his head and fell silent.
"Naruto, I came to you this time for an important matter. ”
Naruto hadn't yet woken up from the sadness of the Hokage-sama of the third generation, however, Sakura-chan on the side suddenly asked in surprise, "Jiraiya-sensei, are you going to take Naruto to Tsunade-sama?"
"......" Naruto looked at Sakura suspiciously.
However, Mr. Jiraiya was shocked, and he asked with an exaggerated face, "How do you know?"
After Sakura asked, she regretted that she shouldn't have talked too much. However, she had to deduce the specific time when Chiki Oni and Uchiha Itachi arrived in Konoha in the next side quest, which was related to whether she could buy the [Boosting Medicine] and the rather mysterious lottery fragments.
Because, in the original play, after Mr. Jiraiya took Naruto to practice, the two Xiao organizations came.
And the reason why Jiraiya-sensei took Naruto away was to avoid them and protect Naruto by the way, and at the same time help Naruto become stronger, like Sakura's goal, to achieve self-preservation.
Including this Konoha collapse plan, Jiraiya-sensei couldn't come back, and it was also because, he went to investigate the Akatsuki organization, which has been more active recently...
"I guess... Because, Kakashi-sensei said something to me. ”
Sakura didn't want to tell the lie that she could 'dream the future' again, after all, her current ability was not enough to protect herself. So, she had no choice but to move Kakashi-sensei out and use it as a shield.
"Kakashi?"
Jiraiya-sensei didn't believe it, because he knew that this Sakura was more mysterious from the beginning. When he returned to Konoha Village and learned that the third Hokage-sama had died, he was killed by Orochimaru, and he was in great pain.
However, before he knew that the third generation of Hokage-sama was in the middle ninja finals, he drafted and recommended Sakura-chan middle ninja.
Sakura, who was able to make Jiraiya's teacher, the third generation of Hokage-sama, value Sakura so much, coupled with Kakashi's secrecy and his own suspicions, Jiraiya vaguely knew that this Sakura seemed to have some kind of special ability.
Since the three generations of Hokage-sama and Kakashi both helped her hide it, Jiraiya-sensei didn't continue to ask.
