The black rabbit goes.

Two days passed in a flash.

Konoha's army of 3,000 successfully arrived at the border junction between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, and settled here.

Under the order of the autumn road, the army set up camp and established an impregnable defensive line.

Then a large number of small troops were sent to go deep into the Land of Rain to investigate and harass them, trying to find out the situation of the troops in Yuyin Village in the shortest possible time.

After that, as long as you wait for Jiraiya and Uchiha's people to support the front line, you can launch a general attack on Yugakure.

Konoha here.

The village is gradually recovering from the previous turmoil, the damaged buildings have been repaired, and the injured ninjas and villagers have been discharged from the hospital.

With the order of the three generations, the focus of the Hokage Building's work has officially shifted to the preparation for the middle ninja exam.

Uchiha clan land, meat reform department.

I haven't been idle for the past two days, and I'm talking about a virtual and unjust love with Samui, cultivating "feelings" 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 glue.

This evening.

Tsunade suddenly came to the door and said that he wanted to stop drinking.

Nothing to do.

At a glance, it was clear that Tsunade had transplanted the Sharingan Eye, and Bacheng wanted to ask him privately for advice on how to use these eyes better.

He also happened to want to ask Tsunade how she felt after the transplantation of the Sharingan.

So I readily agreed.

Under the ambiguous gaze of others, the two walked out of the building of the Ministry of Meat Reform.

"The curator is so busy, shouldn't he be dating two women at the same time?"

"Speaking of which, Tsunade-sama and Samui are indeed the same type of beauties, and the curator's behavior is considered to be attentive or single-minded."

The crowd whispered behind their backs.

The sun sets in the west.

At the entrance of Konoha Village, a dusty man, bathed in the sunset, walked slowly from a distance.

He was over 1.9 meters tall and tall, with long, wild white hair that hung down to his waist. He wears a red coat, clogs on his feet, a forehead guard with the word "oil" written on it, and a huge scroll on his back.

The wanderer has also returned to his hometown.

"I haven't been back for a few years, and the village still hasn't changed much, I really miss it...... Konoha's women's bathhouse. ”

Jiraiya sighed with emotion, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed the essence of lust.

Of course.

What he misses the most is that woman.

"I heard that Tsunade is back too, but I don't know if she's still as young and beautiful as before. Hey. ”

Jiraiya muttered to himself, and a beautiful and moving figure appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a slightly obscene smile.

That's when it happened.

"Jiraiya-sama."

Two shadows 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 important.

Ten minutes later.

Jiraiya met the three generations and learned about Xiao from the latter.

"What?!"

When he learned that the founder of Xiao turned out to be his three apprentices at the end of the Second Ninja World War, he had taken in Yuyin Village.

He looked shocked, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Many years ago.

When he was young, he learned his destiny from the mouth of the big toad fairy who could predict the future in Miaomu Mountain-

He will take a child as an apprentice, and that child will become the child of prophecy, bringing unprecedented peace or destruction to the ninja world.

Since then, Jiraiya has embarked on a journey to find his disciples.

During the Second Shinobi War.

When he saw Nagato with the eye of reincarnation on the battlefield of Yuyin, he once thought that Nagato was the son of prophecy he was looking for.

He carefully taught Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan for three years before he had to leave to end that damn war.

But on the day the war ended, Jiraiya heard the news of the death of his disciples.

Deeply struck and shed tears of remorse, he picked himself up after the war and set out on his journey again.

"Really...... Is it Nagato them? ”

For a while, it was still a little hard to believe it.

"I'm afraid so."

Miyome sighed.

Regarding Xiao's information, he specially confirmed it with Tuan Zang.

In the name of the root, Tuan Zang intervened in the internal disputes of Yuyin Village, and joined forces with Sanshoyu Hanzo, causing heavy damage to the nascent Xiao organization at that time.

He also killed Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki.

Danzo has seen the power of the eye of reincarnation with his own eyes, and he has always held Nagato's information in his hands, and even thinks that one day in the future, he will take Nagato's power for himself.

The three generations told Jiraiya these things truthfully.

Because he knows that no matter how much he hides it, as long as Jiraiya sees Nagato, he will know all the truth.

“……”

Zilai was more and more shocked.

He now learned that it was the Konoha higher-ups who persecuted his disciples and killed Yahiko, causing Nagato to hate Konoha even more, and finally went to extremes.

But.

The culprit of all this, Danzang, has been duly punished, dismissed from his position, and sent to prison.

For Konoha.

What can be done now is to try to reconcile with Akatsuki and persuade Nagato to surrender, and 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 come to his senses.

At this moment, he remembered the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal about him.

It says that one day, Jirai will also have to face his disciples and be forced to make a choice that will lead the world to peace or destruction.

Seemingly.

The time has come to make a choice.

"In that case, without further ado, I'll set off for Yuyin Village and meet Nagato."

Jiraiya's eyes were blazing, and he made a decision immediately.

Although he had just returned to the village and his butt was not yet hot, he also knew that this matter was urgent, and he was not allowed to rest.

"Don't worry."

The third generation reassured Jiraiya and instructed him, "You are tired from running all the way, so you have a good night's rest first." I'll have someone immediately inform the Uchiha clan and order them to gather their elite and go to the front with you tomorrow. ”

“…… Good. ”

Although Jiraiya was anxious, he still obeyed the arrangement of the three generations and was led down to rest by the dark department.

When night falls, the lights come on.

The hustle and bustle of nightlife in Konoha Village has begun again.

Jiraiya walked out of the room and came to the street of Konoha .

How could he possibly sleep?

It's not just because of Nagato's affair that it annoys him.

This time I went to the front line, and my life and death are unknown. As for what might happen after meeting Nagato, Jiraiya was prepared for the worst.

He may not be able to come back.

So before he set off, his heart was desperate to meet Tsunade.

Unconsciously.

Jiraiya came to the gate of the Uchiha clan.

He inquired.

After Tsunade returned to the village, he lived in the Uchiha clan, and he was very close to the current Hokage assistant Uchiha, and there was a scandal between the two.

Jiraiya's heart is a little uncomfortable.

After all, he has loved Tsunade all his life, and he has also been rejected by her for the rest of his life.

Just as he was wandering outside the door, hesitating to go in and find Tsunade.

The figure that haunted Jiraiya's dreams appeared.
