A Journey to the Heavens Beginning with Pirates

"Hokage-sama, my suggestion is that Konoha, Kumogakure and other ninja villages unite!"

In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya spoke seriously to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this time, Kakashi and others had gone to Konoha Village and the surrounding areas to look for suspicious clues. Only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were left in the office.

Although the relationship between the two is master and apprentice, when talking about business, Jiraiya still used to call Sarutobi Hiruzen Hokage-sama.

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. He did not directly object to this somewhat clueless suggestion, but first curiously asked the reason:

"Oh? Why? There shouldn't be any unstable factors in the ninja world, so it's worthy of the five major ninja villages joining forces."

Jiraiya quickly said: "Existence, have you forgotten the Akatsuki organization?"

Know the organization?

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Jiraiya's size, information about the Akatsuki organization began to emerge one by one in his mind.

He said: "The Akatsuki organization seems to be a group of mercenaries. They get paid to do things. Although its members are rebel ninjas from various villages, they will not threaten Konoha!"

Jiraiya retorted: "We all underestimated the Akatsuki organization before! Just before, Kakashi and I followed Mr. Suyu and saw the true strength of the Akatsuki organization and its true purpose!"

Hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen's interest was piqued, and seeing Jiraiya showing such a rare serious expression, he couldn't help but become serious.

"Oh? Real strength?"

Jiraiya nodded heavily and said: "That's right! The existing members of the Akatsuki organization include Kakuzu, Scorpion, Kisame Kisaki, Uchiha Itachi... and Nagato, and each of these people has a Kage level Their strength! Even because of their weird abilities, the Kage level may not be able to take advantage of them! Among them, Nagato is the leader of the Akatsuki organization and is undoubtedly the strongest!"

After hearing Jiraiya's introduction, Sarutobi Hiruzen really paid attention to this issue.

Not to mention anything else, the gathering of five shadow-level experts is a huge threat to any ninja village!Even Konoha is like this!

Moreover, even a fool would not believe it if there was no special purpose for these shadow-level experts to gather together.

In addition, the leader of the Akatsuki organization also put tremendous pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because shadow-level powerful people are all extremely proud. Even a peaceful person like him still has his own pride in his heart.

What's more, those people are all unruly and rebellious people.

And how strong is the leader who can make these people willing to become subordinates?No matter how confident Sarutobi Hiruzen was, he did not think that with his own strength, he could make the shadows of the remaining four ninja villages surrender.

And if such a person has a plan, then his plan must be shocking!

From this point of view, the Akatsuki organization is indeed a very serious problem.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya seriously and asked:

"How does their strength compare to yours?"

Jiraiya thought for a while and said: "If I turn on the sage mode, except for the leader of the Akatsuki organization, no one will be my opponent, but if I want to win them, it will not be a simple matter, even if the other party insists on leaving. , I can’t stop them, and as for the leader of the Akatsuki organization, I’m not sure at all, after all, the other party has the legendary Samsara Eye!”

After hearing the first half of Jiraiya's narration, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became more serious, and when he heard the last part, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but scream:

"What did you say?! Samsara Eye?! Are you sure?!"

Jiraiya nodded solemnly: "Yes! I'm sure! Those are indeed the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, the Samsara Eye! And the currently known abilities include gravity so powerful that I have no ability to resist at all, and corresponding repulsion. , as well as powerful psychic beasts, clone puppets, missile weapons, etc.! As for whether there are other abilities, it is still unknown, but I guess there should be at least three unknown abilities!"

Carefully writing down the information revealed by Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen became increasingly heavy-hearted.

Just by listening to it, you can already imagine the power of the Samsara Eye.

Looking at the adjectives used by Jiraiya when describing it, it's 'so powerful that it has no ability to resist gravity'. It's conceivable how powerful a psychic beast Jiraiya can be called a powerful one.

And just the known abilities Jiraiya mentioned are already difficult enough, but that's not all. There are at least three unknown abilities!

Moreover, we don’t know the specific information about these known abilities, such as whether there is a cooldown, what is the maximum strength, how many psychic beasts there are at most, etc., but we only know the approximate effects.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed the bridge of his nose with a headache, and suddenly remembered what had just happened, and said quickly:

"Jiraiya, do you think the person who came to Konoha to steal the scroll of forbidden arts this time could be a member of the Akatsuki organization? Are there any members of the Akatsuki organization who are good at hiding, sneaking and other abilities?"

Jiraiya thought for a while and said: "It is indeed possible, but those people I mentioned before are all combat personnel and are not good at sneaking. But I don't know if there are other members of the Akatsuki organization. However, If he is a member of the Akatsuki organization, what can be found in the scroll of forbidden arts that attracts him?"

Jiraiya was thinking silently, but Hiruzen Sarutobi's question interrupted his train of thought.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "By the way, Jiraiya, you just said that you already know the purpose of the Akatsuki organization?"

Speaking of this, Jiraiya became serious and said: "Yes, although the Akatsuki organization is acting as a mercenary at the moment, this is just a cover-up, and their real target is actually the Nine Major Organizations. Tailed beast!”

Next, Jiraiya told Sarutobi Hiruzen the complete information he knew, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned for a moment.

This news was so shocking that for a while, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't digest it.

The Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi sounded like fairy tales to him.

But these do seem to be myths and legends.

It took a few seconds for Sarutobi Hiruzen to recover from the shock. He hesitated and asked:

"Jiraiya, where did you hear this news from? This is a bit outrageous. Can the authenticity be guaranteed?"

Jiraiya nodded heavily and said, "Of course, Mr. Su Yu said these himself!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that indeed, it was so secret, and only that person could know it so clearly.

However, since it is what the other party said, then there is a high probability that it is true...
