Chapter 86
Grief and Indignation of Jiraiya
Chapter 86 Grief and Indignation (Second Update!)
Jiraiya!
It really was this guy!
Led by Uchiha Habara, Uchiha Jin followed the police squad, spinning and leaping on various ancient and modern buildings in Konoha.
After shedding the constraints of the anime's length, production budget, and real-world factors, the shock brought about by the bizarre and incongruous feeling when a real Konoha Village, large enough to accommodate more than 200,000 people, was presented to Uchiha Jin was indescribable.
It's all Kishimoto's fault!
But this actually reveals a character that fits the so-called ninja: a product of an ancient era that lacks ambition.
Despite the fact that productivity has been quietly developing with the times, these violent institutions called ninja villages are actually stuck in the war-torn era of hundreds of years ago.
task?
Thinking of this ridiculous term, Uchiha Jin, who didn't often go out in Konoha, once again brought his wandering thoughts back.
It can be said that Uchiha Jin had always expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to seek outside help.
After all, with Uchiha Jin secretly pushing things along, even excluding the uncertain factor of Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha clan was undoubtedly the strongest force in Konoha at the moment.
On the contrary, it is.
The Hokage lineage, which originally consisted mainly of the Hokage's direct Anbu and Danzo's Root, supplemented by the elite forces of the Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, is now in an extremely miserable state.
Although Danzo and Root, these two right-hand men, often acted on their own initiative, the loss of this level of combat power was still quite devastating.
Not to mention that because of Danzo's past misdeeds and his various self-serving actions, the ninja clans that were originally able to unite around the Hokage are now unwilling to get involved in the conflict between the Uchiha and the Hokage's lineage until the very last moment.
therefore.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's side naturally needed to replenish their combat power and influence, and Tsunade and Jiraiya, two of the legendary Sannin who had made outstanding contributions to Konoha and were not accused of defection, were the best candidates.
Compared to Tsunade, the biggest fat sheep in the ninja world, Uchiha Jin was even less willing to let Jiraiya get involved.
Born a commoner! Possessing immense strength! A respected and experienced figure! Aspiring to the Will of Fire!
Jiraiya practically maxed out Konoha's favorability. If he hadn't been fooled by Mount Myōboku and then bound by his mentor Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would have been the number one candidate to become the "strongest Hokage".
of course.
The strongest here does not refer to combat strength, but rather the strongest posture that can be displayed by leading the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
But a pity.
The first 300 episodes of Naruto taught people that bloodline and talent are not the only factors, and that hard work can overcome all difficulties.
However, the following four hundred episodes tell you...
fart!
Without Naruto Uzumaki's protagonist treatment and Sasuke Uchiha's cheat-like eyes, Jiraiya still had to suffer from the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.
As a true Konoha ninja, he turned around and nurtured Nagato Uzumaki, who almost destroyed Konoha, all for the sake of the so-called Child of Prophecy.
As a mentor and friend of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and for the sake of the so-called Child of Prophecy and to compromise with his mentor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he allowed his only orphaned disciple to be bullied and scorned in Konoha.
When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue.
A guy who can't even take care of himself and the people around him, but instead thinks about saving the world, is someone that Uchiha Jin can't bring himself to like, even if he doesn't hate him deeply.
However, such people are very popular with Konoha's political correctness, so Uchiha Jin naturally needs to destroy this lifeline that Sarutobi Hiruzen was hoping for without hesitation.
He may have made a mistake in minor matters, but he was unharmed in major matters.
As these words surfaced in his mind, a strange smile curved the corners of Uchiha Jin's lips.
……
"What a peaceful day!"
Beyond the wooden walls where mist constantly billowed out, Jiraiya listened to the melodious sound of the pattering water and uttered a heartfelt exclamation.
If he hadn't been forced to, Jiraiya really wouldn't have wanted to get involved in his teacher's messy affairs with the Uchiha clan.
However, due to the changes in the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi's tearful plea, Jiraiya, who was searching for the Child of Destiny and gathering material in the ninja world, still chose to return to Konoha.
just.
Upon entering Konoha, Jiraiya found no chaos as he had anticipated, but rather an exceptionally orderly environment, which immediately put his previously troubled mind at ease.
So big! So round! So smooth!
Compared to the troubles to come, what could soothe Jiraiya's sorrow more than creative inspiration?
Uh...hehehe...
With a drool hanging at the corner of his mouth, Jiraiya unconsciously let out strange laughs, and with his little bottom wiggling, he plunged his left eye deep into a small hole in the wooden wall.
But just as Jiraiya was getting into the swing of things, a righteous and majestic voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you commit crimes under the rule of the Uchiha clan!"
Is there a lecherous thief?
where?
Just as Jiraiya was feeling a bit confused, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
How is that possible!
Although he was still mostly focused on gathering materials, he still had the energy to be vigilant about any unusual activity around him. He had escaped from the bathhouse owner and the angry women countless times. The lecherous immortal Jiraiya was no ordinary person.
However, even someone as confident as Jiraiya dared not underestimate this sixth sense, which was born from countless life-and-death experiences.
But it was too late.
Even if he can defend against a sudden attack on a vital area, he will still be completely at a disadvantage after taking such a blow.
Even though we're inside Konoha, the situation is so dire!
In the blink of an eye, Jiraiya had already quickly analyzed the situation. At the same time, he turned to the side and stretched out his left hand to cover the parts of his body that might be seriously injured, while his right hand had already formed the hand seals for the summoning jutsu, making all the preparations for the upcoming battle.
however……
The expected fatal blow did not come. Instead, the neglected and muscular buttocks were suddenly subjected to an unimaginable force.
"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship!"
Before Jiraiya could react, he suddenly felt the air around him become much lighter. After a series of angry curses and screams, his figure skipped across the water like a stone skipping across the water, a series of gloomy, water-drip-like gazes gathered towards him.
Uh……
The surging chakra allowed Jiraiya to dissipate the immense force and stand steadily on the misty water, completely frozen in place as if someone had struck his pressure points.
"what!"
"You lecherous scoundrel!"
"Kill this guy!"
"You dare flirt with that old lady? Let's go, my old ladies!"
Jiraiya, who was in the shallow pool area for the elderly, was instantly besieged by dozens of disheveled old ladies, filled with grief, anger and shame.
But...
These guys in front of me aren't ninjas who have trained in chakra. If they were to accidentally bump into or hurt someone at their advanced age, the consequences would be dire...
thus.
Jiraiya, who possesses Kage-level strength, could have easily subdued this group of old women who were constantly using their claws to unleash magical attacks in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, it was like a small boat in a storm, suffering the merciless torment of these old demons, and then, relying on the toad sage's powerful body, it struggled stubbornly towards the shore little by little.
Who the hell did this?!
So immoral!
