For most Konoha ninjas, Jiraiya's recent encounters are just something they can talk about before tea and after dinner, and they don't care about the outcome of the police department's handling.
The reason is also very simple. No matter which of the existing punishment systems in Konoha is based on, Jiraiya is not in danger of killing.
In this case, it would be better to laugh and watch Jiraiya, who has a voyeuristic habit, being rectified by the police department, and save his wife, daughter and family from being rudely spied on again.
Therefore, except for Orochimaru who was still running for Jiraiya and Tsunade who also provided limited help, everyone in Konoha, from the ninja clan to the common ninja, expressed no concern for Jiraiya being imprisoned and detained. Some female ninjas even expressed their joy in hearing it.
…
"Orochimaru Jonin, your bail request can be approved; however, as the guarantor of Jiraiya Jonin, you and the other Jonin must control his behavior while awaiting trial and make him subject to the review of the police department at any time. , otherwise you and the jounin as guarantors may be implicated for their inappropriate behavior."
On the seventh day after Jiraiya was denied bail for the first time, Orochimaru came to the police headquarters again and asked for bail. Five jonins from the Senju clan were also provided as guarantees.
For the sake of Orochimaru's identity and the five jounin representing the Senju clan, the head of the police headquarters did not embarrass them, but readily signed the bail permit and reminded them gently.
"I see……"
Orochimaru forced a smile on his face.
This was the only kind gesture that Orochimaru, who had always been ruthless, could still show.
Even Orochimaru wondered if he was under some illusion, and he actually had the time to work for an idiot for so long.
The five Senju-nin who were ordered by Tsunade to come here to cooperate and guarantee were expressionless, and they were even cursing in their hearts.
"This is the bail permission. Please go to the detention center to pick up the person."
The head of the headquarters handed Orochimaru a permission slip.
"...Can the prosecutions of the Western District and North District Police Stations be released on bail together?"
Orochimaru took the bail permission and asked again in no hurry to leave.
When he walked into the police headquarters, he clearly saw two groups of police ninjas squatting at the door. They were all watching eagerly, waiting for him to bring people out and then pull them away on the spot.
After being tossed around for so long, Orochimaru really had no intention of continuing to play this guarantee game. After running around for the past few days, the progress of his experiments had been delayed a lot.
"...For the sake of Mr. Orochimaru and the five Jonin, I can coordinate on your behalf, but I will have to pay two extra bails."
Although the head of the headquarters seemed a little embarrassed, he conditionally agreed to Orochimaru's request.
After saying that, the head of the headquarters sent people out to communicate with the ninjas at the West District and North District Police Stations who were on guard.
After a while, they received confirmation that the ninjas from the West and North District Police Stations agreed to be released on bail at once, but they also made the same request, that is, Orochimaru and the five Senju Ninja must control Jiraiya during the proceedings. behavior and accept random inspections by the Police Department at any time.
The Senju ninja who were forced to come to guarantee looked at each other in disbelief, each one looking uglier than the other.
They didn't have the confidence to restrain Jiraiya's behavior. If Jiraiya was still stubborn, it would be troublesome to involve them.
Orochimaru ignored them, and after readily paying two additional bail bonds, he received two bail orders signed by the police headquarters.
Jiraiya can be regarded as creating a historical record for the Konoha Police Department this time.
After all, he was the only Konoha ninja who could collect bail permission from the police headquarters and the three major police stations.
In view of the high bail amount, the head of the headquarters considerately asked Jiraiya to be brought out. He removed the chakra restraint bracelet on the spot and read a copy of the parole instructions to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, who had been imprisoned for ten days in total, was a little depressed. He nodded absentmindedly while listening to the "lullaby" played by the head of the headquarters.
"... Jiraiya Jonin, do you have enough understanding of your obligations as a defendant during your parole period?"
After reading the parole instructions, the director of the headquarters asked a routine question.
"knew……"
Jiraiya yawned, turned to Orochimaru and said, "Let's have a meal at your house later..."
Such neglect made not only the head of the headquarters, but also the five Senju Ninja who worked together to guarantee it frown.
"...Please sign here and press your fingerprints!"
However, seeing that Master Tokumitsu's plan was basically successful, the head of the headquarters did not continue to argue with Jiraiya. After asking him to sign for confirmation, he made a sign of invitation and sent the guest away.
"Let's go..."
Orochimaru sighed and led Jiraiya out of the police headquarters.
"Jiraiya Jonin!"
Two groups of police department ninjas who were still squatting at the door crowded over.
"...What are you doing! Didn't you already pay the bail together!"
Orochimaru asked sullenly.
"Don't get me wrong, Orochimaru Jonin, it's just a process..."
An Uchiha ninja said politely: "Jiraiya Jounin, please sign the parole notice, so that we can do business when we go back."
"What if I just don't sign!"
When Jiraiya heard this, he immediately became fierce under the influence of his rebellious psychology. He held his neck and shouted: "Your work has nothing to do with me!"
"Jiraiya Jonin, you don't want us to come to your door for inspection ten or eight times a day..."
The Uchiha ninja was not angry, and still had a professional smile on his face: "There are Mr. Orochimaru and the five jonins of the Senju family. You don't want to be involved with Jiraiya jounin, right?"
"...Hurry up and sign and leave!"
Orochimaru scolded Jiraiya angrily.
The expressions on the faces of the five Senju-nin are also very exciting.
"I know, I know……"
Jiraiya immediately obeyed and signed.
The ninjas from the West District and North District Police Station did not continue to be in trouble, and then left quickly.
"Orochimaru Jonin, let's go too."
The five Senjonin said hello to Orochimaru, and without even looking at Jiraiya, they used the teleportation technique and left.
The police headquarters, where people were coming and going, was full of meaningful looks, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"...Let's go, let's go to your house to sleep for a while and then have a good meal."
Jiraiya still looked unpretentious, grabbed Orochimaru's neck and shouted.
"Let's go..."
Orochimaru struggled for a moment, then sighed and responded.
He was not willing to let Jiraiya wander around anymore. If something happened again and involved him, it would be really troublesome.
…
In the office of Minamigagawa Stock Exchange, Uchiha Tokumitsu also received the latest information from Jiraiya.
"Each district police station conducts random inspections once a day and will formally prosecute him after seven days. Try to make him more urgent..."
Uchiha Tokko gave instructions.
The attendant ninja immediately took the order and left to make specific arrangements.
Without the protection of his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya's behavior became increasingly unacceptable to the rule-abiding Konoha ninjas, and secretly the Uchiha ninjas also spread all kinds of gossip to confuse public opinion. This offsets Jiraiya's aura as a war hero.
However, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not intend to completely frame Jiraiya. He only wanted to weaken the influence of the former third-generation Hokage apprentice while forcing him to mess up his own affairs.
"Miaomu Mountain Immortal Technique..."
Uchiha Demitsu leaned back in his chair and thought silently.
During this period of time in Konoha, he was not idle. He had been studying how to incorporate natural energy into his body. However, except for the increase in his perception, he still found nothing about the application of natural energy.
Therefore, he needs a tangible specimen as a reference.
…
After coming out of the police detention center, Jiraiya stayed in Orochimaru's mansion eating and drinking for two days before being driven back to his home.
But the police department scrutiny that followed made him deeply uncomfortable.
Although the Uchiha ninja who led the team did not show any special discriminatory behavior, he treated Jiraiya as a prisoner both in words and in words, and was annoyed by all kinds of examinations and interrogations.
Therefore, five days after leaving the detention center, Jiraiya began to think about running away from the village for a while.
Considering that he was on parole, Jiraiya took the opportunity to talk to the police ninja who came to interrogate him, but he flatly refused and said that if he did not say goodbye after being paroled, he might be directly classified as a traitor. Tolerate.
This time Jiraiya was very unhappy.
Although he acted carefree and didn't seem to care about other people's opinions, he was extremely delicate and sensitive inside. It was really unpleasant to be scrutinized at any time like a prisoner. In addition, Myobokuyama's contact frog also sent a message saying that Fukasaku Sennin wanted him. He took time to go to Mt. Miaomu, so on the sixth day, Jiraiya left the village directly through the reverse psychic technique and said goodbye without saying goodbye.
On the seventh day, the ninjas from the police department came to Jiraiya's house again. When they were about to take him to court, they found that the house was empty. After breaking into the room, they found a specially left note on the table. .
The Uchiha Jonin who led the team picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go and have a good talk with Orochimaru!"
…
"Leave the village and come back after a while, don't think about it..."
A group of police department ninjas surrounded Orochimaru's mansion and handed him the handwritten letter left by Jiraiya.
After unable to resist reading out the contents of the handwriting, Orochimaru became completely numb.
After handing the handwritten letter back to the Uchiha Jonin who was leading the team with an expressionless face, Orochimaru began to secretly maneuver chakra, preparing for the worst.
"Don't be nervous, Orochimaru Jonin..."
The Uchiha Jonin also sensed Orochimaru's abnormality, but he said nonchalantly: "The case regarding Jiraiya Jonin will be formally heard and decided tomorrow. In view of his violation of parole regulations and the village's ninja management regulations, there will be no other exceptions at that time. In addition to the charges already charged, there may be additional violations and penalties. Are you prepared to appear in court on my behalf?"
"……not going!"
Orochimaru relaxed a little.
He was afraid that he had lost his mind and went crazy to go to court on Jiraiya's behalf to embarrass himself!
This was no longer a friendship, it was purely because Jiraiya was too selfish and put him and the other five Senjo Nin on the fire!
Moreover, it was Jiraiya's lawlessness that allowed the police department to catch Pigtail!
"That's okay~"
Uchiha Jonin was not persistent: "In addition, if Orochimaru Jonin has a way to contact him, please advise Jiraiya Jonin to return to the village as soon as possible. For the sake of him being a war hero during the Ninja World War, De Master Guang has specifically approved that he will not be classified as a traitor for the time being, and that you and the other five Senju-nin will not be held responsible for bail for the time being..."
After saying that, the Uchiha Jonin did not stay any longer and immediately left with his subordinates.
Orochimaru stood there with a gloomy expression on his face.
…
The results of the absentee trial regarding Jiraiya's long-standing voyeurism case were quickly released and posted on various bulletin boards in the police department.
Konoha ninjas who were up to no good also came to watch.
"... three years in prison and two years suspended? The person left the village without reason before the review?"
A Konoha ninja read out the results of Jiraiya's trial and suddenly felt dissatisfied: "Why! Why do I have to be imprisoned for a month just for getting into a drunken fight in the village, but someone who has a lot of criminal records and still escapes can get a suspended sentence!"
"unfair!"
Suddenly another voice shouted from the crowd.
“The police department is violating the law for its own sake!”
This shout immediately silenced the onlookers' ninjas.
But after discovering that the ninjas in the police department were indifferent to this, the onlookers slowly became active again.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Konoha, and it was generally believed that Jiraiya's punishment was too light.
But no one dared to point the finger directly at the Uchiha clan in charge of the police department. After all, it was clearly stated in the announcement, mainly because of Jiraiya's outstanding contribution in the Second Ninja War and Orochi's Marujo Shinobu and the Senju clan worked together to guarantee him, so they were particularly tolerant.
It also pointed out in the announcement that if Jiraiya voluntarily surrenders within five days, the police department will not hold him responsible for escaping from court.
Hatake Sakumo also expressed concern about this matter.
Because some jounin in the House of Representatives were preparing to jointly remove Jiraiya from his position as deputy director of the Ninja Beast Management and Protection Committee.
Considering that Jiraiya was, after all, a disciple of the original Hokage line, Hatake Sakumo temporarily suppressed the matter in order to prevent the matter from turning into a clique and opposed dissidents, and approached Uchiha Tokumitsu for advice.
"...In principle, I respect the judgment of the Police Department. As long as Jiraiya Jonin returns to the village and surrenders, then the blame will be forgotten. Moreover, the House of Representatives should not be dismissed in a hurry. It will appear that the House of Representatives has become a subordinate department of the Police Department. Similar."
Uchiha Demitsu also said very simply.
He can't say that these are all his own conspiracy.
"Tokumitsu-kun is a model for Konoha with his noble character and integrity..."
Hatake Sakumo was also impressed when he heard this.
"Laws are nothing more than human feelings..."
Uchiha Tokimitsu accepted Hatake Sakumo's compliments openly.
"Jiraiya Jounin is also a hero of the village. We still need to tolerate him. As long as he is willing to change his ways, he will still be a trusted Jounin in the village..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu gave the highest instructions.
