In the eastern part of the Fire Country, in an ordinary town.

"Jiraiya, we've run so far, what the hell do you want to find? Amber took a sip of tea, and her body soaked in the hot spring, feeling soft and comfortable.

"Orochimaru's secret base. Jiraiya closed his eyes and took a sip of sake.

"yes, do you know where Orochimaru's secret base is?" Amber asked.

"It should be near this town. Jiraiya said, "My toad followed Orochimaru some time ago, and he came here. ”

"Now that you know everything, why are you pulling me?" Amber asked, curiously.

"I just want to talk to you, you and I are not limited to people in the village, and we don't have to worry about anything when we talk to you. Jiraiya said.

"That's right. Amber frowned and thought for a moment and asked, "Are you looking for me to talk about Orochimaru?"

"Not exactly. Jiraiya drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said melancholy: "I am the closest companion with Orochimaru and Tsunade, although Tsunade doesn't like me, and Orochimaru is ruthless, but they are my most important people, the three of us have supported each other to this day, it's not easy to think about it, but it's a pity that the past time is gone." ”

After another glass of wine, Jiraiya sighed and said: "Recently, there have been frequent thefts of data rooms and disappearances of ninjas in the village, and the three generations of old men have begun to suspect that Orochimaru is the ghost, so they sent me to investigate this matter, but I ......"

"Looks like you're conflicted, no wonder you're looking for me, saying these things to other people will definitely cause criticism. Amber glanced at Jiraiya.

"Definitely. Jiraiya smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I'm probably the most naïve of the three ninjas, I believe that Orochimaru won't do this kind of thing to play with life, but reason tells me that this is probably what he did, I have already seen it, the three generations of old men are determined to maintain the water gate, and the fate of Orochimaru ......"

"Killed, or he was forced to defect. Amber said in a deep voice, stealing information is already a very serious crime, plus the human trial of the Konoha ninja, there are only these two results, but in terms of Orochimaru's status, the regulations have very limited constraints on him, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the three generations of old men who want to help the upper echelons of the water gate clear the obstacles, the high-level of the village will not do anything to Orochimaru.

"yes. Jiraiya shrank into the water a little tiredly, and said, "I'm on a mission to find the child of destiny, but I can't even help my companions, and I watched Tsunade become like that, and Orochimaru fell deeper and deeper...... Really, can someone like me really change the world? ”

"The past can't be changed, all you can do is change the future. Amber said.

"You're right, but I'm standing at a fork in the road right now, with the four generations of Hokage Mizumon who has the potential to bring peace to the world on one side, and Orochimaru, my companion who lives and dies together. Jiraiya paused and said, "What about you, Amber, which side are you on?"

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just a little shinobi. Amber said with a shrug.

"Of course it matters, I know three generations of old men, since he is optimistic about you, he will definitely test your position, you can't hide. Jiraiya shook his head and said.

"If you can't hide, then stand firmly on the side of Watergate. Amber replied without hesitation.

"Oh, do you think Watergate is the child of prophecy?" said Jiraiya, his eyes lit up.

"I don't think so, it's just that it's in my better interest for Mizuto to be the Hokage than Orochimaru. Amber shook her head and said, "Watergate now meets the conditions to change the world in terms of status and strength, but he lacks one thing. ”

"What's that?"

"Just as naïve as you. ”

Jilai also thought about it, sighed and said, "Maybe you're right, only a naïve fool like me would really believe in the existence of peace." ”

"You're a naïve old fool, you're almost forty. ”

"Haha, although I don't have Tsunade's eternally young appearance, I have an eternally young heart. ”

"It's a lustful heart. ”

"Almost. ”

Jiraiya was probably really tired, chatting and falling asleep, Amber knew this feeling, and suddenly began to doubt everything about herself, and the trivial things that were cut out of order and messy came to her heart, and if the feeling of confusion and pain was not vented, it was easy to do something out of the ordinary.

Amber is different from Jirai, there is no pain, but there is a lot more confusion, some things Amber can obviously be avoided, such as Kakashi's tragedy, but Amber doesn't dare to move, he is not qualified to play against the enemy behind him now, today Amber may be able to save Rin, but what about tomorrow? Tomorrow is facing the unknown, Rin will still die, maybe Kakashi will also die, without Kakashi's existence, it will involve more unknowns, and maybe even Amber will be involved, this is like playing chess, the coaches on both sides must not move casually, if you only consider personal gains and losses, you will only be led by the enemy in the end.

However, Amber is also a human being, thinking that there will be countless tragedies in the future, but he can only watch from the side, quietly accumulating the capital to fight back, and the anger and confusion in his heart are really uncomfortable.

When I woke up, Jiraiya seemed to have figured it out a lot, and the lewd smile on his face returned.

Soon, the two came to a hill near the town, and halfway up the mountain there was a large cave, which had been abandoned for a long time.

"This is it. Jiraiya said: "Orochimaru has been here and stayed for many days, there must be his base inside." ”

"Could there be any traps or something?" Amber asked.

"There will definitely be, you take care to protect yourself. ”

The two of them rushed in, cautiously walking towards the depths of the cave.

Surprisingly, this cave is not very deep, only a dozen meters to the end, and the deeper place has collapsed.

The two of them searched around, but there was no hidden entrance.

"The collapsed rubble is relatively new, and it looks like Orochimaru has destroyed this place. Jiraiya said in frustration.

"Not necessarily. Amber kicked the dirt off his feet and said, "Have you ever seen a mine with such thick soil? ”

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of amber, the mine was surrounded by rocks on all sides, but the ground was covered with mud, so where did this soil come from? The entrance of this mine is slightly downward, and the flash flood cannot be poured in, but it may have been moved in recently.

"You stand behind me. Jilai also blocked Amber behind him, and his hands quickly sealed, and he pressed his palm on the ground.

"Turbulence, Ripping Ground, Turning Palms!"

The next moment, the ground cracked, and a large amount of dirt turned to both sides, revealing the dark rocks underground, and abruptly, not far from the two of them, a circular hole with a diameter of one meter and filled with dirt was revealed.

"Looks like it's useful to bring you. Jiraiya smiled and said.

"Of course. ”

"You wait here for a while, I'll go down and see how it goes. After speaking, he stood on the dirt at the entrance of the cave, his hands made a seal, and his body slowly sank into the dirt.

Ten minutes later, the soil in the cave suddenly loosened and then quickly collapsed.

"Come down, there's no danger. "The voice of Jiraiya came from the cave.
