Naruto Kakashi

Bang~ Bunta jumped to the edge of the huge pit, rolled his tongue, and pulled Jiraiya up from the bottom of the pit.

"How are you, Jiraiya? Are you okay?" Bunta saw that Jiraiya's face was a little gloomy and couldn't help but be concerned.

"It's okay, I've long been used to this kind of injury." Jiraiya's expression softened slightly.

Then he looked at Wentai and found that there were several marks on his body and a trace of corrosion on his abdomen. Obviously, the battle with Wan She was not easy.

"Bunta, please go back first. The front is the realm of Konoha. Don't worry about my safety."

"Yeah." Wentai was not Moji's character, and it really needed to go back to treat its injuries, so it responded and disappeared with a burst of energy smoke.

After Bunta returned, Jiraiya did not leave immediately, but suddenly turned his head to Kakashi's hiding place: "Come out, my friend hiding over there, you have been watching for long enough."

Kakashi wanted to leave quietly, but before he could move, he was discovered by Jiraiya.

Of course, another point is that he can't sense Orochimaru's position, and he also loses contact with Zetsu.

The moment Orochimaru disappeared, Kakashi contacted Zetsu through the organization's internal communication methods, but did not receive any response.

Without Zetsu's help, Kakashi wouldn't be able to find Orochimaru, let alone seize the Sealed Book.

And I did have some questions that I wanted to consult with Jiraiya.

So Kakashi hesitated for a moment and then walked out.

"Jiraiya-sama, long time no see." Kakashi greeted Jiraiya very respectfully.

"Well, it's Kakashi. It's been a long time." Jiraiya was a little surprised when he saw that the person walking out was Kakashi. He looked at him up and down for a long time, especially focusing on the forehead protector on Kakashi's head. After waiting for a long time, he continued: "Well, I've grown a lot taller."

Seeing that Jiraiya was not hostile, Kakashi was slightly relieved.

In fact, Kakashi would not have chosen to meet Jiraiya if he hadn't seen that he was seriously injured.

Among the Sannin of Konoha, the one Kakashi respects the most is Jiraiya, and he is the one he least wants to face. Of course, this is partly because Jiraiya is Kakashi-sensei's teacher.

Whoosh whoosh~ Suddenly Kakashi heard someone rushing here in the direction of Konoha.

Apparently it was Jiraiya's battle with Orochimaru that attracted the attention of the Leaf Village.

"Come on, come with me. You probably don't want to meet other Konoha ninjas." Jiraiya greeted Kakashi and walked away from Konoha.

Jiraiya's injuries made it difficult for him to walk.

Kakashi didn't hesitate, immediately rushed forward and supported Jiraiya.

Under Jiraiya's guidance, the two soon arrived at a hidden tree hole.

From the fire with sparks still remaining in the tree hole, it can be inferred that Jiraiya has been waiting here for Orochimaru to appear.

Helping Jiraiya to sit down next to the fire, Kakashi relit the fire and sat across from Jiraiya.

Maybe it was because of the battle just now that the forest seemed particularly peaceful tonight.

There was only the sound of burning wood inside the tree hole.

Although Jiraiya is Kakashi-sensei's teacher, Kakashi actually didn't spend much time with him.

Of course, the main reason is that not long after the Second Ninja War, Jiraiya left the village and embarked on a journey to travel around the world. He rarely returned to the village, and he did not even come back during the Third Ninja War.

In Kakashi's impression, Minato-sensei came back for a while when he first became Hokage.

"Kakashi, why did you choose to leave the village?" The two were silent for a while, and Jiraiya was the first to ask.

And what he said was not beyond Kakashi's expectations.

"Originally I was just a little depressed and wanted to travel around the world like you, but I later learned some things." Faced with Jiraiya's question, Kakashi said truthfully.

"What about Lord White Fang?" Jiraiya asked with a frown.

What Jiraiya said was doubtful, but his tone was very sure, and he obviously knew something.

"Yes." Kakashi nodded.

Hearing Kakashi's confirmed answer, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh: "How much do you know about this matter?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and took out a storage scroll from his ninja bag, then took out two scrolls with the word Hatake written on them, and handed them to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took the scroll and read it carefully, handed it back to Kakashi, and then said: "Although I don't know where you got these two scrolls, the contents on the scroll are indeed true. "

After hearing Jiraiya's confirmation of the content on the scroll, Kakashi then said: "Jiraiya-sama, you should have been still in Konoha Village when my father committed suicide. I want to ask you something."

But before Kakashi could ask the question, Jiraiya stopped him: "Almost everything I know is on the scroll in your hand." "But I can assure you one thing, my teacher is not Not involved.”

"In other words, in addition to Danzo, there were indeed other high-level officials of Konoha involved in my father's suicide?" Although Jiraiya didn't say it explicitly, Kakashi still got some information.

"..." Hearing Kakashi say this, Jiraiya opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The tree cave became quiet again.

"Kakashi, do you know why I left the village?"

Kakashi looked at Jiraiya, not quite sure why he mentioned this.

"In addition to my own personal wishes, a large part of the reason is because of your father's suicide."

"Actually, it's not just me. After your father committed suicide, Tsunade also left the village. Orochimaru..." Mentioning Orochimaru, Jiraiya paused for a moment. "Although Orochimaru did not leave the village, he also left the village. The front line has receded into the background, and in recent years he has become more of a scientific researcher than a ninja."

"Why?" This was the first time Kakashi heard such a thing.

"The reason may be that I was disappointed with the village at that time, or I was disgusted with the fighting within the village."

Kakashi nodded in understanding, but said nothing.

"In my travels over the years, I have been thinking about ways to completely resolve disputes and achieve true peace."

"Then have you thought of a solution?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said helplessly: "No, I experienced another ninja war."

"Although I haven't found a way, I understand a truth. As long as there are people, disputes can never be completely eliminated. I can only find ways to reduce them."

"Although the village has its bad sides, its existence is indeed the most effective way to reduce disputes."

After hearing the end, Kakashi finally understood what Jiraiya wanted to express.

He had no intention of stopping Kakashi's revenge, but he also hoped that Kakashi would not destroy the order of the entire village.

Although he understood, Kakashi didn't say anything because he really didn't make a guarantee.

Seemingly seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh twice: "Haha, I just said a few words because I was in a bad mood. Just listen."

The two of them had already said what needed to be said, and the subsequent conversation seemed relatively relaxed.

Both of them deliberately avoided the more sensitive topics and talked about the interesting things they encountered.

However, compared to Jiraiya's rich life experience, Kakashi's experience seems relatively thin.

So Kakashi spent most of the time listening to Jiraiya.

Kakashi was still very interested in Jiraiya's various anecdotes about his travels to various countries. After all, this was something he had wanted to do but failed to do.

But as he was talking, Jiraiya seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Kakashi, is your birthday coming soon?"

Hearing what Jiraiya said, Kakashi remembered that when Jiraiya returned to Konoha, it happened to be Kakashi's birthday. Although Jiraiya didn't give him a birthday gift at the time, he promised Wait for his birthday and give him a special gift.

"There are still more than two months." Kakashi thought for a while and said.

"Then do you like reading?"

"Reading a book?" Kakashi thought about the book "How Ninjas Should Die" that he read back then, and then nodded, "It's okay."

"Then have you read the books I wrote?" Jiraiya's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that Kakashi liked reading.

"Jiraiya-sama, you still write books?" Kakashi said with some surprise.

"Uh?" Hearing Kakashi's answer, Jiraiya was obviously deeply shocked.

For a self-proclaimed best-selling author, there is nothing more hurtful than saying that you have not read his book.

"I happen to have a book of mine that will be released soon. Let's take it as your birthday gift." Jiraiya quickly cheered up and took out a palm-sized book from his ninja bag and handed it to Kagami. Cassie, "The title page has my autograph."

Out of curiosity, Kakashi took the book and saw four words written on the orange cover of the book, Kiss Heaven.
