People in the ninja world, interpreting the coming of the myth

Jiraiya escaped from the palace and evaded the pursuit of the palace guards. He successfully broke out of the palace and hid in a hidden room. He said to himself: "We must find a way to join Orochimaru and the others!"

Suddenly, a faint sound of bottles hitting each other came from the next room. Jiraiya's face changed slightly, thinking that the enemy was catching up. A teleportation technique appeared in front of Shigen, and the kunai in his hand was about to stab him. , only to find a little girl with pigtails huddled in the corner with tears in her eyes, her little face pale, looking at her with fear and fear.

Jiraiya silently put away his shuriken, showed a kind smile and asked: "Little sister, I am not a bad person, can you tell me why you are hiding here? Where are your parents?"

The little girl trembled and said weakly: "My parents were taken away by the samurai adults in the city. They asked me to hide and keep quiet."

A gloomy look flashed across Jiraiya's face. It seemed that something unexpected had happened to the little girl's parents. Except for the palace and the samurai army guarding the city, all the residents here were probably caught in the palace, and maybe they had been killed by those evil spirits. eaten.

At this time, the little girl's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling~" sound, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, so shy that her ears turned red.

Looking at the seven or eight-year-old little girl in front of him, Jiraiya took out a small package and handed it to the little girl and said, "I have a few pancakes here. You can eat them to fill your stomach."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and finally took Jiraiya's small package, opened the pancake inside, and nibbled on it.

Perhaps because it had been left for too long, the texture and taste of the pancakes were not very good, but the hunger in her body still prompted the little girl to quickly finish the pancakes in her hands.

Seeing the little girl choking after eating too quickly, Jiraiya quickly took out his water bottle, fed her water and patted her back gently.

Seeing the little girl's face gradually improving, Jiraiya asked with a smile: "Little sister, what is your name?"

After understanding that the man in front of her who was giving her food and drink was not a bad person, the little girl answered honestly: "Keiko, my name is Keiko."

Jiraiya reached out and touched the little girl Keiko's little head, and said in a gentle tone: "Keiko, it is temporarily unsafe here, and there is no food and drink. I am ready to leave here. Do you want to come with me?"

Hearing that Jiraiya was taking her away, Keiko said hesitantly, "But my parents haven't come back yet. If I leave, I will be very anxious if they come back and can't find me."

Jiraiya was silent for a while, unable to bear to tell Keiko the cruel reality that her parents were probably eaten by ghosts. In the end, he could only use a white lie and said: "Your parents can't come back for the time being. We can leave a note." Let your parents see it when they come back, and ask them to pick you up when the time comes."

Keiko thought for a while, but nodded and agreed to Jiraiya's suggestion. After writing the note she left with the pen and paper Jiraiya gave her, she put it under the pillow on the bed.

After observing and confirming that there were no pursuers around the house, Jiraiya, who was carrying Keiko on his back, rushed towards the city gate while sensing whether there was a chakra reaction nearby.

Hiding in the corner of the alley, avoiding the guards patrolling the streets, Jiraiya felt something was wrong and muttered to himself: "Strange, why no one arrested me?"

I am the Sannin of Konoha, Jiraiya the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku, and I should be considered a good hostage captive for the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. However, after the other party forced me to drink the blood of the Ghost King, he ignored me. Allowing himself to escape from the palace made Jiraiya feel vaguely weird.

Have I really become a ghost?

But why can't I feel any changes in myself?

Recalling the unmoved look of the Fire Country Daimyo and Ittousai when he escaped from the palace, Jiraiya began to worry. If his body really turned into a ghost, wouldn't it mean that he is now a member of the Ninja world, or even a ghost? Enemy of all mankind?

In my current situation, can I continue to return to Konoha Village?

Jiraiya, who had planned to take Keiko to the Leaf Village, couldn't help but fell silent. What if he had really fallen into a ghost, what if he suddenly lost his mind and attacked his companions in the village...

Jiraiya didn't dare to think about it anymore. Before he was sure whether his body had mutated and turned into a ghost, Jiraiya didn't dare to return to Konoha, for fear of bringing huge disaster to the village where he lived.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Keiko, who was leaning on his back and had fallen asleep at some point. Jiraiya had a sullen face and murmured, "If you think about it, it's not safe for Keiko to follow me."

While waiting for the patrolling guards to move away from the city gate, looking at the few dozen people on the tower, Jiraiya decisively chose to break out in the direction of the city gate.

A guard standing on the city tower happened to see Jiraiya running towards the city gate, and quickly shouted a warning: "Everyone, be careful, there is an enemy trying to escape from the city!"

Seeing the castle guards holding crossbows who were about to shoot him, Jiraiya took out a dozen shurikens from his ninja bag and threw them at the guards above without hesitation. The high-speed rotating shurikens hit him accurately. It hit the wrists of the guards holding the crossbows. A deep sting caused the crossbows in their hands to fall to the ground.

With chakra clinging to the soles of his feet, Jiraiya stepped on the city wall as if he were walking on flat ground. With a few ninja jumps, he climbed up the 30-meter-high city tower.

Jiraiya, who originally planned to leave here without any delay, suddenly smelled the smell of blood on the guards' wrists. His moving body couldn't help but froze, and a pair of black pupils in his eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

As if smelling some kind of peerless delicacy, Jiraiya subconsciously turned his head to look at the guards covering their wrist wounds, constantly seduce his appetite and hunger. In his sight, these guards were no longer human beings, but Looks like pieces of walking bread.

Eating them will give you unimaginable satisfaction!

Suddenly, an evil and low voice sounded in his heart, tempting and persuading Jiraiya.

Jiraiya shook his head resolutely, biting the tip of his tongue hard with his teeth, and a touch of fishy sweetness poured into his throat. The tingling sensation from his tongue instantly dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind, and Jiraiya suppressed the evil in his heart. Desire, heading towards the woods outside the city.

Jiraiya, who successfully broke through the capital of the Land of Fire, placed Keiko, who was still sleeping, under a big tree, then turned his back and lowered his head with a look of despair.

"I actually want to eat them. Have I really...become a ghost?"
