Three days ago.
Konoha, Izakaya.
"So, the leader of Akatsuki is in the Rain Ninja Village, right?" Tsunade drank a bottle of wine and looked slightly tipsy.
"Yeah." Jiraiya nodded and smiled.
"However, the inspection of entry and exit and the surveillance during the stay are very strict. Even the procedures for holding the joint chuunin exam are difficult to handle every time. It is a very closed village. It should not be possible for the leader of Akatsuki to be free. Where the action is." Tsunade sighed.
"Because it is a very closed village, in order to prevent other countries from knowing the inside story, a complete blockade was implemented to completely hide the shame." Jiraiya said.
"Shame?" Tsunade was a little confused.
"It seems that there was a civil war in that country a long time ago, and the village was divided into two. The leader of one of the parties is rumored to be the leader of Akatsuki." Jiraiya explained.
Tsunade was not surprised to hear this.
"That country is surrounded by the three great kingdoms of earth, wind, and fire. It has been a battlefield between the three kingdoms since ancient times. Because of this, the internal affairs are extremely unstable and the number of refugees has been increasing." Tsunade wanted to change, but was unable to Whatever she did, she felt that as Hokage, she couldn't help it.
"Anyway, in order to confirm whether the information is true, I will first go into the investigation and plan the battle later." Jiraiya said.
"It's too dangerous for you to be alone!" Tsunade immediately denied, "Let Yang Shu go with you!"
"Don't say stupid things. I am one of the three ninjas of Konoha. You should know the meaning." Jiraiya said at the end, his tone became gentler.
Tsunade was silent.
After a few seconds, he lowered his eyebrows and apologized: "I'm sorry, I always put you in such a disadvantaged role..."
Hearing this, Jiraiya burst into laughter: "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Hahahahaha!"
Tsunade laughed at herself: "The person who should have become Hokage should have been you, Third Generation... When Shikaku served as Hokage's agent, he also thought that you should be..."
Jiraiya interrupted Tsunade's words and laughed loudly: "I am not the material to be Hokage, I am more suitable to be free..."
The two kept drinking and chatting, thinking about everything in the past after a long absence.
Until the sun sets and the sunset is crimson.
Tsunade leaned on the chair outside, her eyes full of confusion about life.
"Xiao...it's impossible to guess how powerful the person who can command those guys is. Moreover, you specifically ran to the enemy to die..."
Tsunade's words were full of complaints, but they did not hinder Jiraiya's determination to go to Amegakure Village.
"It's almost time to set off." Jiraiya stood up.
Tsunade felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't even dare to look at Jiraiya. She lowered her head and murmured as if praying to the sky: "I want to come back alive..."
This made Jiraiya turn his head and look at Tsunade in surprise.
"If even you die...I..." Figures appeared in Tsunade's mind.
Now, even Orochimaru was dead, and she couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Jiraiya died too.
"Will you cry for me? Then I'm very happy." Jiraiya laughed.
"However, it shouldn't be as sad as that time." Jiraiya said with a smile.
"Idiot!" Tsunade cursed.
"Then try your favorite gamble." Jiraiya smiled.
Tsunade raised her head in confusion.
"Just bet that I will die. Anyway, you lose every time you gamble, hahahaha!" Jiraiya's tone became serious, "But when I come back alive..."
Facing Jiraiya's serious expression, Tsunade opened her mouth and looked at Jiraiya in disbelief.
After drinking, her face was already a little red, but now, she didn't know whether it was because of her heartbeat or because she was drunk.
Only the slight trembling of her pupils clearly proved the unrest in her heart.
...
now.
Yuyin Village.
Tower.
In the quiet passage filled with pipes, Jiraiya ran forward quickly.
On either side of the shoulders stood Fukasaku Sennin of Mr. Frog and Shima Sennin of Aunt Frog.
They used the Sage Technique, the Two Life Technique, which allowed Jiraiya to use Sage Mode in battle.
After using Sage Mode, Jiraiya's cheeks were filled with red, only his toad nose and sharp teeth were exposed, and "-" pupils appeared in his eyes, a bit like a toad turning into a human.
At this time, Jiraiya stopped and turned to face the pipe behind him.
Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin took a sharp breath.
"The magic toad is singing!"
Guagua guagua——
Suddenly, the terrifying frog sound echoed throughout the passage.
Soon, three people from Payn's animal realm, human realm and hungry ghost realm came after him.
It would take time to completely complete the Magical Toad Singing, so Jiraiya immediately chose to delay the time.
"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"
The seven-meter-sized flame ball rushed towards the three people.
Hungry Ghost Dao Payne was a big fat man. He immediately rushed out, pointed his hands at the big flame bullet, and absorbed the big flame bullet ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.
"Very good! I won the bet! The big guy really went to absorb the ninjutsu!"
"The guy at the beginning only knew the art of channeling, and the two times he absorbed ninjutsu were this big guy. Just as I expected, each of these guys only has one system of abilities!"
"Now, the big guy's eyes are facing in the direction of the ninjutsu, and the one with the psychic technique has his eyes closed. As a result, there is only one eye looking this way!"
Immediately, Jiraiya sprayed out a large fire bomb.
Payne on the Human World escaped and tried to use the ceiling to gain strength, but his hands and feet were trapped by the underworld hidden in the ceiling.
The animal path Pain behind him landed on the human path Pain and headed towards Jiraiya.
"It's not even close!" Fukasaku Sennin said with difficulty.
Jiraiya smiled: "This makes it one-on-one!"
He jumped up and swung his kick like a whip.
"Don't even think about using psychic skills!"
Bang——!
Beast Road Payne flew upside down, hit the wall and rolled to the ground, unable to control himself.
At this time, the three Payne pupils shrank.
The eyes seemed not to be their own, and the samsara eyes in their sockets were moving crazily left, right, up, and down.
The next moment they regained consciousness, they found themselves trapped in a square water prison.
Outside the water prison, there were four giant white jade frogs holding sharp swords, one palm pointed at them, and the word "NO" written on their loincloths - the Four Great Ming Kings!
Jiraiya looked at them and said: "Now you are in the illusion of golden binding that can bind the spirit. As a result, your body and body cannot move."
"Jiraiya-sensei, I didn't expect you to have this kind of illusion!" Pain, the human being, said calmly.
"I should have taught you not to take it lightly no matter what opponent you face. Nagato, you have made a mistake in your mission. Rather than using pain to guide the world, I hope you can use your power beyond pain to complete this mission. .”
Payne remained unmoved.
