In just a few days, Jiraiya was taken away twice by the police department in public, and this incident also caused some discussion in Konoha.
The Police Department also posted a description of the case on the bulletin boards of various police stations in a timely manner, and openly accepted reports from all victims in the village on this case. It also promised to keep the reporters absolutely confidential and would never give anyone the opportunity to retaliate.
"Isn't it that the Uchiha clan is retaliating?"
Even Orochimaru had some doubts about his own judgment.
Judging from the posture, the police department does not seem to have any intention of additional suppression, and all procedures appear to be very reasonable.
Moreover, Orochimaru had repeatedly warned Jiraiya that sky-eye surveillance based on the telescope technique combined with the sealing technique had been deployed on the streets of Konoha, and he could no longer act as randomly as before.
But judging from the current progress of the incident and the information disclosed by the police department, Jiraiya did not listen to his words at all.
On the third day after Jiraiya was taken away by the Crime Squad of the Police Headquarters, Orochimaru tried to be released on bail again, but as expected, was rejected by the Police Department.
"The matter of Jiraiya Jonin involves a large number of complaints before the village was reorganized. The circumstances are outrageous, and there is deliberate cover-up behavior by some people at the top of the village. Therefore, the detention time must be extended at present to sort out a complete case. file."
"...How long will the detention last?"
Orochimaru asked bravely.
"It will take about seven more days. If you want, you can come back for bail then."
The head of the police headquarters said to Orochimaru in a good voice: "Moreover, judging from the current situation, there is really no need for Mr. Orochimaru to waste money on bail for people like him..."
"……Why?"
Orochimaru could no longer maintain his indifferent demeanor.
"In addition to our police department headquarters, the West District and the North District have also received a large number of complaints about Jiraiya Jonin..."
The head of the headquarters took out a stack of documents and handed them to Orochimaru, "Even if I specifically approve the bail this time, as soon as Jiraiya Jonin walks out of the door of the police headquarters, the people from the West and North District Police Stations will immediately There is really no need to waste the bail money by taking him away..."
Orochimaru casually opened the file and saw that it was full of various coordination investigation letters. The dates of the cases were different, but the contents were all about "peeping at women's soup"...
Orochimaru also knew that this friend did have this problem, but he didn't know that it was so rampant.
After a little recall and calculation of the time of the incident, Orochimaru discovered that almost every time Jiraiya returned to the village after performing a mission, he would go to the hot springs to "study art"...
This time Orochimaru blushed.
"This is the confessions and complaints that have been collected so far...This is the scene of the crime intercepted by the Eye of the Sky..."
The head of the headquarters very considerately took out another pile of information and piled it in front of Orochimaru.
"As one of the directors of the Professional Committee of the House of Representatives and also the bailiff of Jiraiya Jonin, you have the right to read these materials, but you cannot take them away~"
The head of the headquarters said gently.
"……No."
Orochimaru felt that his ears were so hot that he almost wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into them.
He felt that he had never broken through as many defenses in his life as he had in the past few days.
"...Since I can't be released on bail, can I go visit him?"
Orochimaru took several deep breaths and asked the head of the headquarters.
"Of course~ Jiraiya Jonin is still detained in the headquarters detention center. I just need to sign an order for you~"
The head of the headquarters was also unambiguous and immediately issued a visit permit and handed it to Orochimaru, "However, since Jiraiya Jounin is one of the powerful elite Jounin in the village, the visit process must be fully monitored by the Police Department. Next, please don’t mind Orochimaru Jounin~"
"No problem, thank you..."
Orochimaru had nothing to say except a nod of thanks.
The entire law enforcement process of the police department is very rigorous and professional. Both the reasons for arrest and detention are impeccable. Even Orochimaru with tinted glasses can't find fault.
Moreover, besides blaming Jiraiya for knowingly and deliberately committing the crime, what else can be said about this situation?
The worried Orochimaru was led by the police department ninjas into a visiting room separated by a fence. After entering and sitting down, several heavily armed police department ninjas stood guard around the room.
Then, a Uzumaki ninja pushed the door open behind the fence and entered. Two teams of police department ninjas filed in and stood on both sides. Finally, two Uchiha ninjas escorted Jiraiya into the visiting room.
"Hey~ Orochimaru, you're here~"
Jiraiya still looked partially carefree as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Jiraiya who was still looking like he was doing nothing at this time, Orochimaru immediately became furious.
"I can't bail you out for the time being..."
Orochimaru said grimly.
A group of police department ninjas were monitoring the situation in real time, and Orochimaru couldn't say much. After all, compared with Jiraiya, although he was cold-blooded, cruel, murderous, etc., he still had a face.
"Why!"
Jiraiya, who had been imprisoned for three days, was suddenly shocked: "Hey, hey, hey! I will go crazy if I am kept in a place like this again! Not only are there no singers, no food and wine, even the bed is not as comfortable as your home!"
As Jiraiya spoke nonsense, the ninjas of the police department who were on guard immediately showed intriguing expressions.
Orochimaru felt that his toes were almost embarrassing enough to perform the "Earth Release: Three-Bedroom and Two-Living Jutsu"!
"Do you know what you committed?"
Orochimaru asked, trying to stay calm.
"Isn't it just this group..."
Jiraiya looked at the police department ninjas around him and did not continue.
Orochimaru shook his head helplessly.
"...Your matter is rather complicated and requires continued detention and investigation."
After letting out a long sigh, Orochimaru said helplessly: "I will bail you out then..."
"Alright alright!"
Jiraiya muttered with some dissatisfaction: "The food here is so bad! Take me to have a good meal when you go out!"
Orochimaru looked at the police ninja accompanying him.
"...You can add meals, but the police department will charge additional inspection fees and service fees."
The police ninja on the side also understood the meaning of Orochimaru's eyes, shrugged and replied indifferently.
"That's fine..."
Orochimaru nodded, "I will ask someone to bring you some food, and you can continue to squat for me for a few days!"
"Okay, okay, I got it~"
Jiraiya said with a nonchalant expression.
Orochimaru sighed again, stood up silently, nodded to the surveillance personnel behind him, and walked out of the visiting room without looking back.
What Jiraiya committed may not be a big deal. According to the Konoha punishment and security system that Orochimaru recently reviewed, except for the temporary detention before the formal trial, Jiraiya will not be punished. Causing harm other than reputational harm.
No matter how many of these crimes were indecent, Jiraiya would only be sentenced to three years at most and then be released on parole in three to five months.
After all, as a ninja village where ninjas occupy an absolute dominant position, powerful elite jounin like Jiraiya are the well-deserved ruling class of the village. Even if they are marginalized due to their teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, in any case, the current Neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate would allow Jiraiya to be punished indiscriminately for this crime.
"Maybe three years of detention will be better..."
Orochimaru was worried and angry.
Walking on the streets of Konoha, Orochimaru pondered silently.
"Orochimaru!"
When passing by a wine shop, a familiar female voice came from inside.
"……Tsunade?"
Orochimaru turned his head and looked a little surprised.
"come over!"
Tsunade's face also looked a little unhappy, and she waved towards Orochimaru.
Her younger brother Nao Shu also stood beside her sister very obediently.
"Teacher Orochimaru..."
Naoki bowed to Orochimaru and said hello.
"Um……"
Orochimaru's expression also softened, and he reached out to stroke Naoki's hair.
Since the reorganization of the Senju Clan, Naoki, as the default heir of the family, has been taken back to the clan by the elders of the family to teach him, and he has had less contact with Orochimaru, who is a teacher.
But a lot of the remaining softness in Orochimaru's heart still belongs to this disciple.
"Are you busy with Jiraiya's affairs?"
Tsunade said straight to the point.
"……Yes."
Orochimaru nodded reluctantly.
"...Let's talk inside."
Tsunade beckoned Orochimaru into the private room to talk.
Orochimaru hesitated for a moment, then followed Tsunade and sat down.
Shen Shu formed a sound barrier very consciously, and then bowed to her sister and teacher.
"Good boy..."
Orochimaru's lips couldn't help but reveal a smile, and he stroked Naoki's hair again lovingly.
After Naoki walked out of the private room, Tsunade said to Orochimaru: "I checked, I'm afraid Jiraiya's matter needs to be approved!"
"……I know."
Orochimaru nodded reluctantly.
"This matter may be a little strange, so you should pay attention to it yourself."
Tsunade clicked, "It's no longer the time when the teacher is still here..."
"What's the meaning?"
Orochimaru frowned.
"Without the instructions of Uchiha Shifang or Uchiha Tokimitsu, no one can mobilize the police headquarters and all divisions to torment Jiraiya. As for his immoral things... no one in the village knows about it!"
Tsunade explained: "Moreover, this incident seems too coincidental and reasonable, so it seems very unreasonable."
What is the logic……
Orochimaru was speechless.
But after thinking about it, combined with Jiraiya's recent experiences, Tsunade's words seemed to make sense.
"I'm not as good as you when it comes to experiments, but you're not as good as me when it comes to political warfare!"
Tsunade also saw Orochimaru's inner fluctuations, "So, there is a high probability that Uchiha Tokumitsu is deliberately doing something!"
"Why? If we want to liquidate...it doesn't make sense!"
Orochimaru said he didn't understand.
"Maybe that idiot is full of loopholes or something has been coveted..."
Tsunade snorted, opened a bottle of sake, and drank it.
"ok, I get it."
Orochimaru nodded hesitantly.
"When can he be released on bail again?"
After Tsunade drank a bottle of sake, she burped and asked casually.
"It will take another seven days..."
"At that time, I will ask several jounin of the family to jointly post bail with you, so as not to cause any trouble again!"
Tsunade said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"fair enough."
Orochimaru naturally had no objection.
"That's it, drink before you leave!"
Tsunade couldn't help but push a bottle of sake to Orochimaru with a wry smile on his face.
…
After returning to the detention room, Jiraiya closed his eyes and rested for a long time. After sensing that there was no one outside the prison, he clapped his feet and reluctantly activated a weak psychic technique.
Although he was still wearing a chakra confinement bracelet on his hand, Jiraiya still managed to squeeze out a trace of chakra to summon a special Mt. Myoboku toad.
"...Jiraiya-sama, what are your orders?"
The blue-gray-skinned Myobokuzan miniature contact frog quickly scanned the surrounding environment and lowered his voice to report to Jiraiya.
"Tell the two immortals that if I don't notify you in seven days, they will use reverse necromancy to guide me away at noon!"
Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
"As you command!"
The contact frog quickly said: "The two masters also planned to let you return to the Holy Land a few times when you have time, but for some reason they can't contact you. It is said that they want you, Jiraiya-sama, to start practicing to strengthen the celestial arts!"
"I understand, I will go back to Miaomu Mountain after I have taken care of things here..."
Jiraiya nodded and promised.
When he mentioned the practice of senjutsu, Jiraiya immediately thought of the "natural nutritious meal" composed entirely of insects, and he couldn't help but feel acidic water coming out of his stomach.
"In that case, Master Jiraiya...I will go back first..."
Contact Frog glanced at Jiraiya's current environment again. He said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Don't talk nonsense with these two immortals, I'll be fine..."
Jiraiya quickly explained.
"Yeah, ah, ah, I know..."
The contact frog nodded repeatedly and then canceled the necromantic summons.
Before leaving, he secretly looked at the chakra confinement bracelets on Jiraiya's hands.
"Really..."
After letting out a long sigh, Jiraiya lay back on the hard wooden bed, quietly staring at the pure white ceiling in trance.
If Jiraiya wanted to leave, the mere confinement bracelet wouldn't be able to catch him.
Moreover, if he absconds on his own, not only will Jiraiya be labeled as a defector, which will add a lot of color to the dark history of the original Hokage series, but Orochimaru, who is the bailiff, will also be implicated.
But what puzzles him the most is when did the village's system become so efficient?
A mere peeping incident that had been suppressed for who knows how many years was caught and talked about, which shows that there may be someone else behind this incident.
"Uchiha, report, police department..."
Jiraiya silently thought about the ongoing case, trying to connect the forces and purposes behind it.
