Chapter 538: The Returning Village

Jiraiya looked up at the sky and recognized the eagle.

This is the liaison eagle of Konoha Village's special training, and this liaison eagle must not have come to forage for food when it flew to this remote deep mountain forest.

Jiraiya called twice, and the liaison eagle flapped its wings and landed on the branch of the big tree next to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya easily jumped onto the branch, opened the lid of the letter tied to the eagle's leg, and took out the letter that had been rolled into a web from inside.

Unfolded the letter and looked at it, Jiraiya's face changed abruptly.

Akatsuki organizes a big attack on Konoha Village! Hurry back!

The letter is not signed to anyone, indicating that the letter was delivered indiscriminately, and as long as it is the person who sees Konoha Liaison Eagle, he must immediately rush back to Konoha Village.

This shows that the situation is very serious, so serious that all the Konoha ninjas outside the village need to immediately put down the task at hand and rush back.

Konoha Village is now at a critical juncture for its survival!

Damn it!

Did the Akatsuki Organization get a head start?

Jiraiya's heart was very remorseful, regretting why he didn't test the organization first.

In this way, at least it can delay the time for the Akatsuki organization to attack Konoha Village, and it can also get the intelligence and information of the Akatsuki organization to help in the subsequent battle.

Now that he is not in the village, since the Xiao Organization dares to attack Konoha Village, he must have enough information and must have enough combat power before he dares to attack.

Konoha Village, on the other hand, knows nothing about the Akatsuki organization and must be in a very passive position.

And all this is because he was carried away by the news of Orochimaru's resurrection, and chose to find Orochimaru first.

In the end, Orochimaru didn't bring it back, and Konoha Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization without knowing anything.

Damn it!

Jiraiya roared inwardly as he smashed his fist on the trunk of a nearby tree.

There was no time to regret his choice, so Jiraiya quickly put the letter in his hand back into the letter box on the eagle's leg, urging the contact eagle to take off and notify the other Konoha ninjas.

As for Jiraiya himself, he quickly rushed in the direction of Konoha Village.

The figure of Jiraiya standing on the tree disappeared suddenly, and as Jiraiya left, the towering tree that had just suffered Jiraiya's sudden punch also snapped.

......

After nearly two hours of non-stop running, Jiraiya finally arrived at the Konoha Forest.

Fortunately, the secret stronghold of Orochimaru searched this time is not particularly remote, at least he has not left the country of fire, and he can only rush back in a short time.

As soon as he entered the edge of the Konoha Forest, he was stopped by two suddenly appearing figures.

"Who?"

Both of these faces are still very young, and it is normal not to know Jilai.

"I'm Jiraiya, and I'm also a ninja of Konoha."

Hearing Jiraiya's name, the two immediately took back their forbearance equipment, and then said respectfully, "It turned out to be Jiraiya-sama." ”

"We are ninjas from Konoha Village, my name is Moonlight Folding Mirror, and his name is Moonlight White."

"The two of us are here on the orders of Hokage-sama to keep an eye on them, in case the Akatsuki organization returns to the village to sneak attack."

Again...

Is the Akatsuki attack over and gone?

At the critical moment, the brain, which is very active, immediately extracts key information from the words of the folding mirror.

"What about the casualties in the village?" Zilai couldn't hold back his anxious mood and hurriedly asked.

"Uh... It's better for you to confirm this with your own eyes, and I'll take you back to the village right away. ”

After the folding mirror finished speaking, he turned his head to Bai and said, "Bai, you continue to keep an eye here, don't relax." ”

"Got it, Brother Folding Mirror."

Shiro nodded, jumped back onto the canopy, hidden in the dense canopy.

And the folding mirror ran in the direction of Konoha Village with Jiraiya.

The folding mirror and Jiraiya rushed towards Konoha Village one after the other, and the same green around them flashed quickly, but Jiraiya kept staring at the back of the folding mirror running in front.

This teenager and another teenager just jumped out to ask about their identity, which was already very polite.

This is not a problem in normal times, but this is the extraordinary period when Konoha Village has just been attacked, and normal ninjas will at least hide in the canopy and throw one or two kunai into the ground as a warning when they approach Konoha Village.

But these two teenagers are still so polite, which is really contrary to common sense.

Unless the two of them actually know their identities, but they are deliberately pretending to be confused and interrogating themselves just now?

But after thinking about it carefully, I also felt that I had seen the young man in front of me somewhere.

In this way, maybe he and the boy had met in Konoha Village, causing the boy to feel familiar, but he didn't know his specific identity, so he took the initiative to jump out and interrogate.

After all, although he has rarely been active in Konoha Village over the years, he is not completely transparent.

That makes sense.

And the boy took the initiative to take himself to Konoha Village, which reflected the boy's carefulness.

As one of the three famous ninjas in Konoha Village, the road from Konoha Forest to Konoha Village has been walked for decades, and it will definitely not be lost.

But the young ninja still took the initiative to take him in, which showed that the boy saw his anxious and urgent mood and wanted to take him through the Konoha Forest quickly.

Now that Konoha Village has just been attacked, it is definitely impossible to place a sentry only at the edge of the Konoha Forest, and the forest must also be full of sentry posts.

If a stranger who is not wearing a Konoha forehead guard and is still wearing a strange costume moves quickly in the Konoha Forest, he will definitely be blocked and interrogated during this sensitive period.

Therefore, the boy had to lead himself in order to allow himself to pass through the Konoha Forest quickly.

It's so thoughtful...

This ninja can be taught.

...

Zilai also silently praised the behavior of folding mirrors in his heart, but as everyone knows, folding mirrors are thinking about another thing in his heart.

The folding mirror took the initiative to take Jiraiya through the Konoha Forest on purpose, which is true, but this is definitely not to take care of Jiraiya's urgent mood.

Rather, as a matter of course, for the sake of trembling value.

The folding mirror calculated that Jiraiya would definitely rush to Konoha Village as soon as he received the contact, so according to Jiraiya's current location, he calculated which direction Jiraiya would probably enter Konoha Village.

Then the folding mirror took the initiative to apply for the task of setting up a sentry at the edge of the forest in this direction.

In this way, the folding mirror will be able to stop Jiraiya before everyone else at the first time when Jiraiya is ready to enter the village.

The purpose of this is to prevent others from revealing the casualties in Konoha Village to Jiraiya first.

In fact, just now, Jiraiya did blurt out to ask about the casualties in Konoha Village, but the folding mirror did not answer.

The folding mirror does this to maximize the trembling value.

Would you still be pleasantly surprised if someone told you in advance that there was a surprise party?

The same goes for the Shiver Value, which is difficult to maximize if you know the content in advance.

Therefore, the folding mirror chose not to tell Jiraiya the details, and then led the way for Jiraiya by himself, so as to prevent the possibility of other ninjas revealing "surprises" to Jiraiya.

Directly show this "surprise" in front of Jiraiya.
