"Lord Orochimaru, what's wrong, Suigetsu, Jugo and Koso were all taken away by Sasuke."

Pharmacist Kabuto opened the door and walked into the laboratory.

At this time, Orochimaru's whole body was covered with bandages, as if he had just used the reincarnation technique.

An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled sinisterly: "Were they all taken away by Sasuke?"

"Do you want me to send out men to hunt them down now?" Kabuto asked respectfully, standing aside.

"No need, even if we send out people, no one can be Sasuke's opponent. I hope this kid won't let me down."

Orochimaru closed his eyes and further integrated with his body.

……

……

Jiraiya was sitting in the ramen restaurant, frowning while eating ramen.

This was his third day back in Konoha.

"Lovable Immortal, you seem to have something on your mind?" Lin Lei took advantage of the few guests and sat across from Jiraiya.

"Didn't I tell you many times, don't call me a lecherous immortal? Forget it, I guess you will call me that if I tell you that, just do whatever you want." Jiraiya was well aware of Linley's virtues, so he did not discuss this topic. Calculate.

His voice changed: "I'm studying a secret word, this is it."

While speaking, he took out a paper and placed it on the table. The paper recorded the numbers engraved on the toad's back in the video.

He has been studying this number since he came back, and even called Kakashi and the others out, but he still has no clue.

"Do you have any ideas?" Jiraiya pushed the piece of paper in front of Lin Lei.

Lin Lei pretended to pick up the piece of paper: "This seems to be just a set of numbers. It doesn't seem to be anything special."

Of course, Linley couldn't directly tell Jiraiya the secrets in the numbers, as this would arouse suspicion.

So he decided to guide Jiraiya little by little and let the latter think about the novel.

Jiraiya took a sip of soup with his noodles and said:

"Although this looks like just a set of numbers, there must be a big secret in it. I came up with this code because you are usually clever. You can also help me think about it. Maybe I can draw some conclusions. Come."

"Oh, okay!" Lin Lei picked up the numbers and looked at them attentively. After a moment, he said, "Actually, the easiest way is to find the person who wrote the code, and ask him face to face, and you'll know, right?"

Jiraiya said sarcastically: "I wrote this."

Faced with Lin Lei's strange eyes, he added: "My state at that time was quite strange. You can think of it as sleepwalking, so I don't know what exactly I want to express?"

"That's it." Lin Lei showed the same expression:

"Since this is written by you, it means that it must be something you are particularly familiar with. Think about it carefully and see if there is anything you are familiar with more than others. It is best to memorize it by heart."

Jiraiya said without thinking: "Of course it's the book I wrote..."

Just when Linley was about to continue the guidance, he heard Jiraiya say the words "making love to heaven" without restraint.

It attracted the attention of the experienced drivers around. Even Acorus, who listened in the distance and listened to the conversation between the two, suddenly turned red as if he was steaming.

Lin Lei rolled his eyes: "This is also a possibility. Of course, other possibilities are not ruled out. In addition, whoever you are writing this code to should be familiar with one of your items."

"It should be Naruto, but this kid definitely won't watch Kissing Heaven." A few seconds later, Jiraiya slammed the table: "It must be the first novel I wrote. The pig's feet in that novel screamed. Man, if you want to pass it on to Naruto, it must be this."

Lin Lei nodded slightly and said:

"I have read a novel with a similar plot before. People in it also use numbers to convey secret words. They use daily newspapers that are familiar to each other, and then these numbers correspond to several pages and lines in the daily newspapers. I wonder if this will be helpful to you.

"By the way, this novel is called The Philosophy of Candide."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up: "Maybe it's really like your analysis."

He quickly took out his portable novel and compared it with the numbers on the paper.

Five seconds later, Jiraiya showed an ecstatic expression on his face:

"So this is Payne's secret. No wonder I look familiar to all six of them, hahahaha."

Taking a deep breath, Jiraiya suppressed the ecstasy on his face: "I'll take the first step. Thank you for reminding me this time."

After taking a few steps, he turned around and said with a strange expression:

"How come you read the book Philosophy of Candide? It's really strange."

Lin Lei blinked: "Because I am an honest person!"

"..."

……

……

"Tsunade, I know Pain's secret."

Jiraiya opened the door to the Hokage's office and walked in minding his own business.

"Get out!"

A deafening roar came from inside the room, followed by Jiraiya shooting out of the Hokage's office and embedding himself into the wall of the corridor.

Jiraiya wiped his nosebleed and whispered: "How do I know you are changing clothes in the room? Can you rely on me?"

Two minutes later, Jiraiya stood in the office with a bruised nose and face, and said seriously:

"I found Payne's secret."

"Really?" Tsunade raised her head and put the documents in her hands aside.

She leaned on the chair and glanced across Jiraiya's face, feeling a little complicated in her heart.

Jiraiya didn't notice anything unusual about Tsunade, and he said to himself:

"Actually, the numbers suggest my novel. According to the content, Payne is actually a person. I have seen every one of them, but they are indeed dead, so I suspect that these six Payne are not the original body... Hey, are you there? Do you listen?"

Jiraiya stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tsunade a few times.

"Ah? I'm listening." Tsunade calmed down.

"Are you worried? Tell me." Jiraiya pulled up a chair and sat across from Tsunade.

As a partner who had fought side by side, he knew Tsunade very well.

Tsunade looked out the window and said leisurely:

"The reason why the three of us left Konoha is because we have different ideas from Sarutobi. I thought that Konoha would change after his death. But now it seems that I thought too much. Konoha is not rotten by individuals, but by individuals. It's rotten from the inside out.

You think, is it worth it for us to do so much for Konoha? "

If she hadn't seen Jiraiya die in Pain's hands with her own eyes, Tsunade wouldn't have thought so much. She was already tired of fighting, and even more tired of intrigues.

Jiraiya sighed:

"It was worth it before, but now I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't take you back to Konoha."

From the incident involving Naruto, Jiraiya felt cold towards Konoha.

If this was not the hometown where he was born and raised, he would definitely destroy this place.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. The two of them just looked out the window and didn't make a sound for a long time.
