88 The Wonders of Jiraiya (2)
After Nagato and Kaguya Ren pulled the pursuit high enough, Hinata Hanabi quickly lost their traces within the range of perception, but Nagato and Kaguya Ren did not immediately pursue them because of this, but patiently hung on the limit distance that they could sense Jiraiya, silently waiting for them to completely relax their vigilance.
As expected, after changing speed and direction a few times, and after making sure that there were no other trackers behind Jiraiya, Kakashi Hachiki and Hinata Hanabi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to slow down their speed, and revealed their whereabouts to Jiraiya through a special code that only Konoha ninjas knew, and took him all the way to a town that had been abandoned due to the war.
"You're really a ninja from Konoha ......"
After catching up with Kakashi and Hanabi, Jiraiya didn't immediately rush forward to talk, but cautiously kept his distance from the other party, observing his surroundings to make sure there was no ambush nearby, and quietly stood in the most suitable position for evacuation.
"I thought you would accompany the three generations of adults to the peace talks, so I didn't take it too seriously...... Sure enough, I have become a little too lax because of the long period of peace. ”
Kakashi Hachiki tidied up his clothes and took the initiative to greet Jiraiya:
"I haven't seen you for many, many years, and I'm an adult."
"Many, many years?" Jiraiya looked at the upper half of Kakashi's face, which already had traces of age, and after a moment of silence, asked with some emotion, "In your future, have I been dead for a long time, Kakashi?" And your eyes, I remember, the left eye, should be the writing wheel eye, right? ”
"Yes, in order to protect the village, protect the disciples, and protect the future of the entire ninja world, you infiltrated the enemy's base camp alone, and passed on key information and unfortunately died in battle," Kakashi Hachiki exhaled with emotion, "If it weren't for your sacrifice, our future might have fallen into an eternal dream." ”
"As for the writing wheel that Obito gave me, I've already gambled it on the final battle to decide the future...... After that, there was no more talk of Kakashi Kakashi. ”
"Sounds like I have an ending that is very much in line with my ninja identity......"
After listening to Kakashi's description of the ending of his life and the final fate of his writing wheel, Jiraiya's face couldn't help but show a little relief and melancholy, and after calming down his emotions a little, he finally took out a trusting gaze and looked at the two with a soft expression:
"The Great Toad Immortal gave me a new prophecy before, telling me that I could go to find a white-eyed girl and the heroes around her who knew the past and the future, and ask them for answers to my doubts......"
"I was worried at first, how would I get answers from people who could answer my questions, and if I finally found someone who could answer my questions, and who could hardly understand and trust me, but now that I'm looking at how well you are living, I start to feel that it doesn't matter if I ask this question or not."
"Why don't you tell me about the woman you're traveling with, Kakashi?"
"That,Hello Jiraiya-sama,I'm Hinata Hanabi.,It's the second daughter of Hinata Hinata.,Now I'm the heir of the Hinata clan and the upper ninja ......of Konoha," Hinata Hanabi took the initiative to step forward.,Take out the etiquette of a noble lady of the family.,Very seriously introduced herself to Jiraiya.。
"Oh? The second daughter of Hinata is actually the heir of the Hyuga clan? ”
Jiraiya showed a somewhat surprised expression, as a high-level of Konoha, he still heard of the rules of the Hyuga family's clan and the division of the family, usually speaking, the heirs of the clan are basically the eldest sons like Hinata Hinata Foot, and they have been determined early, and it is rare for the second son/daughter to become the head of the family......
"Well, because after Hanabi was born, a series of things happened, so in the end she replaced her sister who married outside and became the heir of the Hyuga clan." Kakashi touched his mask and explained the issue briefly.
"The era of the future has been enlightened to the point where even a conservative family like the Hyuga clan can marry off the heir of the clan family!?" Jiraiya's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed Kakashi's hand with an excited expression, and asked with an expression of disbelief:
"You're not lying to me, Kakashi, are you? And what about the Uchiha clan? The Uchiha clan, who always has a stinky face and has never had a good relationship with the people in the village, is it also like the Hyuga clan that is willing to intermarry with other ninjas and integrate into Konoha? Did that kid from Watergate do so well after becoming the Hokage? ”
"Uh......" Kakashi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and after thinking about it, he had to nod awkwardly and explain in a low voice, "Probably, maybe, that's okay, right?" Although the only person willing to do this is the last ethnic group of the Uchiha......"
The smile on his face, which naturally flowed out because of the outstanding performance of his disciple Bo Feng Shuimen during his tenure, slowly disappeared.
"How is it that there is only one ethnic left? That's since before Konoha was born, and it has been fighting with the Thousand Hands clan for thousands of years, even in the troubled times of the Warring States, it is also one of the strongest Uchiha clans!?
And even if the war started by the Kigakure side has destroyed Konoha's main village, with the undisguised interest in the Uchiha bloodline that Kaguya showed during the negotiations, he can't possibly persecute the Uchiha clan to the point where there is only one race left!? ”
At this point, Jiraiya began to realize that something was wrong.
Putting aside the younger-looking Hinata Hanabi, Kakashi Hachiki must have completely experienced the rise of this guy Kaguya, right? According to Kaguya's unusual ambition and thoughts, Kakashi Hachiki after growing up should be one of the most important main forces for Konoha to resist the invasion of the fog, right?
From the information and information he revealed, he couldn't hear anything about the Kirigaku's invasion, and even the battle that created the peace that made Kakashi Hachiki slack off after that, he only used the incomprehensible statement of drowning in a dream......
"Looks like you're aware of something, Jiraiya-sama."
Seeing that Jiraiya's expression was gradually getting heavier, Kakashi Hachiki sighed, also put away the relaxed expression on his face, and said slowly:
"The future from which Hanabi and I come does not seem to be a continuation of the timeline you are in, but a different future that has gone in a completely different direction......"
"And the point of divergence between the two worlds,It's likely that Hanabi was thrown into this era for the first time.,That misty boy called Kaguya Rei."
……
The sky above an abandoned town.
Nagato's shadow clone raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Kaguya Ren beside him, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the three people below using the Wind Escape and Wind Listening Technique, and said meaningfully:
"Don't you think that in the mouths of those two future people, you are the son of prophecy that truly conforms to the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, Kaguya?"
"So what? Isn't it what? Kaguya glanced sideways at Nagato, and asked a little strangely:
"If it's not the child of prophecy, can't it bring about change in the ninja world? How can the path I have chosen be shaken by such words? ”
"Don't overtake reincarnation, prophecy, fate, and the like, Nagato. It is true that a person's fate will be affected and bound by the development of history, but what can really determine the outcome of our life is our own personal struggle......
If I swear to tell you that you are just a tool prepared by the Six Dao Immortals for resurrection, these reincarnation eyes do not belong to you, and your fate has already been secretly arranged in order, will you abandon your companions and ideals and obediently follow their arrangement? ”
"No, it won't." Nagato shook his head firmly.
"So do I."
Kaguya shrugged her shoulders and continued to focus on eavesdropping on the conversation between the three below.
However, at the same time, he also entered the state of immortalization, and adjusted his body to the most suitable position for launching a surprise attack downward.
