Even Orochimaru, who was deeply at home, felt that the direction of public opinion in the village was becoming increasingly unfavorable to Jiraiya, and Tsunade began to urgently ask him to find Jiraiya quickly.
But Orochimaru really had no available contact method to find Jiraiya who was hiding in Mt. Myoboku at this time, but Tsunade didn't believe anything he said.
"You have made so many bails for him, and he has lived in your house for so long. Haven't you ever exchanged contact with psychic beasts?!"
Tsunade questioned with disbelief.
"The Ryuji Cave I contracted with and his Miaomu Mountain are mortal enemies..."
Orochimaru felt confused.
"You didn't even exchange Ninja Eagles?"
Tsunade still refused to believe it.
"...Jiraiya has no habit of raising ninja hawks."
Orochimaru continued to defend weakly.
"Then let him go..."
Tsunade sighed and shook her head helplessly.
"By the way, remember to remind Jiraiya..."
When Tsunade stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and said one more sentence: "The elders of the family said that the public opinion in the village recently was like that after Uchiha Madara's defection..."
After saying that, Tsunade stopped staying.
It was obvious that she did not believe Orochimaru's statement that he had no contact information and did not know Jiraiya's whereabouts.
Orochimaru's face turned pale.
One is because the Konoha ninjas, including Tsunade, have too deep misunderstandings about the relationship between him and Jiraiya; the other is because of the public opinion issues she raised.
Especially Uchiha Madara, the most sensitive person in Konoha.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu killed the former third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, although many of the influences of the former Hokage's line were eliminated during the reorganization and purge movement of Ninja Village, the conclusion about Uchiha Madara since the second generation has not been overturned; This inexplicably ambiguous attitude made the name Uchiha Madara a taboo in the new era.
Especially what Tsunade mentioned about the public turmoil in Konoha after Uchiha Madara rebelled against the village, made Orochimaru feel bad.
At that time, Konoha still had the two main pillars of the Senju clan, but now Konoha is dominated by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo...
The biggest difference is that Jiraiya does not have a powerful family background like the Uchiha clan. Even if he is attacked by the village's public opinion, he has no way to resist.
But he really had nothing to do. He only felt that he and Jiraiya had become flies trapped in a spider's web. He tried to struggle but was bound tighter and tighter...
"The power of Longdi Cave..."
Orochimaru remembered what he said when he went to Ryuji Cave to meet White Snake Sennin.
"Psychicism!"
Orochimaru immediately bit off his finger and activated his psychic technique to summon the contact snake from Ryūchi Cave.
"Please wait for me to confess to the Snake Immortal. If it is convenient, I plan to see it again."
Orochimaru was also unambiguous and spoke straightforwardly to Hana Snake, who was in charge of liaison.
"Three days later at 12 noon, Tian Xin Shenji will summon you through reverse necromancy."
Hana She also gave an answer that surprised Orochimaru.
"...Already the White Snake Immortal knows?"
Orochimaru's expression was a little uncertain.
"Nothing that happens in the ninja world can be hidden from the Great Sennin White Snake~"
The flower snake raised its head and spat out the letter, saying proudly.
Orochimaru nodded, immediately released the psychic technique, and then his body collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
This was the first time that he felt so weak and helpless in front of some huge forces...
"Organization! There must be an organization!"
Orochimaru managed to get up, gritting his teeth and looking ferocious: "There must be an organization that belongs completely to me!"
…
Jiraiya's life in Mount Myoki can be described as painful and happy.
After arriving at Myoboku Mountain through reverse spirituality, Fukasaku Sennin urged him to intensify his spiritual practice without saying a word, and frantically tested back and forth on the edge of petrification every day.
Shima Sennin was responsible for providing logistical support and providing Jiraiya with a nutritious feast of various bugs.
Although Jiraiya's face turned green after being eaten by all kinds of insects, under the rare and attentive teachings of Fukasaku Sennin, Jiraiya's control over senjutsu had also improved a lot.
Although there are still various shortcomings, at least now I can enter the sage mode independently in the rich natural energy environment of Miaomu Mountain.
"...If you return to the ninja world, your current level of control over natural energy is still not enough to form an effective combat capability."
Fukasaku Sennin was still very dissatisfied with Jiraiya's progress.
"It's only been five days~ The progress we've made so much is due to the immortal's careful teaching~"
Jiraiya, who felt good about himself, flattered him with a smile.
"What do you think of that brat from the Uchiha clan?"
After once again guiding Jiraiya to sit cross-legged and comprehend, Fukasaku Sage asked.
"...Do you mean Uchiha Tokumitsu?"
Jiraiya asked distractedly while trying to control the natural energy to fuse with the chakra in his body.
"Yes."
Fukasaku Sennin holds a small black stick and is ready to rescue at any time.
Although Jiraiya can enter sage mode independently, there is still a risk of losing control if he is multitasking.
"A hero with Lord Tobirama's scheming and Uchiha Madara's ambition."
Jiraiya gave his own impression of Uchiha Tokko.
"Really~"
Fukasaku Sennin frowned.
Although it has lived in Mount Miaomu for a long time and rarely wanders around the ninja world, it is no stranger to the characters and various secrets in the ninja world. Naturally, it also knows who Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara are.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Jiraiya, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a scream.
Due to a momentary distraction causing the natural energy to go out of control, Jiraiya's lower body began to show signs of petrification.
"Boom!"
Fukasaku Sennin calmly waved the small black stick in his hand and struck Jiraiya on the head with all his strength.
"Uh! (⊙﹏⊙)"
With the power of the little black stick, all the rampant natural energy was driven out of the body.
"You must have used too much force..."
Jiraiya got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body and said with some complaints.
"If you don't work harder, you'll be turned into a stone frog!"
Fukasaku Sennin clicked his tongue, put the small black stick in the creaking nest, and walked towards the residential area of Miaomu Mountain with his hands behind his back.
"Go back! The kid's mother should have already prepared lunch! You can continue practicing after eating!"
"Is it another insect feast..."
Jiraiya sighed helplessly, but still obediently followed Fukasaku Sage's footsteps and walked back.
In the past few days, he had also secretly sent the spy Frog to take risks and sneak back into the village to get information. However, he found that after he left without saying goodbye, the public opinion in the village was now particularly unfavorable to him.
Although he had expected it, Jiraiya still felt very frustrated.
But he didn't want to go back like this, so he simply packed up his mind and stayed in Miaomu Mountain to practice immortality with great concentration, hoping that he could become famous when he returned to the village.
"...Konoha seems to have some opinions on you?"
Fukasaku Sennin asked calmly: "What are you going to do about this?"
"this……"
Jiraiya didn't know how to answer when his thoughts were exposed.
"Just tell me, it doesn't matter..."
Fukasaku Sennin said without looking back: "You are the earthly traveler designated by the Great Sennin, and Mount Myoki will support you no matter what."
"...Uchiha Tokko is too deceptive!"
After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya said what was in his heart: "I thought about it when I was detained by the ninjas of the police department under his command. He should be preparing to eliminate us, the so-called remnants of Hokage."
"...How do you know it was him who was pushing things about you?"
Fukasaku Sennin continued to ask.
"My guess……"
Jiraiya answered honestly: "Although there is no evidence, the police department's targeting is really unusual..."
Fukasaku Sennin continued to move forward unhurriedly.
"It seems so normal, everything makes perfect sense, and this is the most unreasonable part..."
Jiraiya continued to explain: "The police department is famous for its brutal style, but now it pretends to be law-abiding. You can tell there is a conspiracy at a glance!"
"...What you said really doesn't make sense!"
Fukasaku Sennin snorted coldly.
Jiraiya quickly laughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"You don't care about Konoha's laws now?"
"Fuck me!"
Jiraiya said with great dissatisfaction: "The so-called laws in the village now are all made by the Uchiha clan by oppressing the House of Representatives and the Senate. The purpose is to suppress the righteous people in the village! Anyone who is willing to abide by such laws should be allowed to abide by them. !”
"I will never take him seriously anyway!"
"But you guessed it right. It was indeed Uchiha Tokumitsu who was behind this matter, but his purpose shouldn't be that simple."
Fukasaku Sennin stopped and looked back at Jiraiya who was in shock: "Do you know why?"
"this……"
Jiraiya's lips trembled slightly, he didn't know what to say.
His speculation was actually an unfounded conjecture made during his free time in prison. He actually didn't take it seriously. In fact, he was just saying it now to cover up the loss of face in the village.
But I didn't expect - I guessed it right!
"Uchiha Tokumitsu will be the enemy of the savior, and he will bring heavy harm to the ninja world!"
Fukasaku Sennin said seriously.
The hands behind his back couldn't help but tremble.
"..."
Jiraiya's mind went blank, and he didn't notice anything strange about Fukasaku Sennin.
"Your mission is to find the savior of the ninja world and teach him to create eternal peace and prosperity for the ninja world. But all high-level officials in Konoha should know about it. There is no reason that Uchiha Tokumitsu would not know about this... so he is like this It’s self-evident that he deliberately planned to frame you!”
Fukasaku Sennin lowered his eyes slightly and said seriously: "This is the truth of the matter!"
"This this……"
Jiraiya still hadn't woken up from the chaos, "...is it the Great Immortal's prophecy?"
Then he asked, "Has the Great Immortal woke up? I want to see him!"
"The Great Immortal has been waiting for you. After dinner, I will take you to see the Great Immortal..."
Fukasaku Sennin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay!"
Jiraiya nodded subconsciously.
"Let's go..."
Fukasaku Sennin continued to walk forward, but his face looked a bit gloomy and depressed.
Little Jiraiya, don't blame me...
This is all fate's arrangement!
