Naruto: Sasuke loves to visit forums

At this time, Uchiha Itachi stared at Jiraiya in front of him, his thoughts constantly fluctuating.

Before, due to the constraints of the three rules, I never found the opportunity to take action from beginning to end.

To some extent, according to Jiraiya's previous instructions.

All he could do was to rescue Uchiha Sasuke after he fell into a coma, and leave before he woke up.

However, Sasuke had not even given him such an opportunity before.

But now, if the constraints of the "Three Rules" are lifted, the so-called "life crisis" will depend entirely on one's own subjective judgment.

This means

The chance for me to return to Sasuke has finally come.

Under the mask, a strange smile finally appeared on Uchiha Itachi's pale face.

On the other hand, Jiraiya also knew very well that if Uchiha Sasuke knew about this.

It will inevitably cause great resentment from the other party.

To a certain extent, Jiraiya's action was a reflection of his firm determination to act "even if it might sever the relationship between master and disciple."

You know, according to the current plan, Uchiha Sasuke has to face not only the unfathomable Shimura Danzo.

And behind it, there is the entire “root organization” that has been accumulating strength for many years.

Jiraiya at this moment was just like Uchiha Sasuke three days later, who would rather go back on his word and entrust himself to Nara Shikamaru.

Different time, different place.

The master and the disciple made the same choice when it came to "saving each other's lives".

"Thanks

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

In front of Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi trembled and bowed once again.

At this time, Itachi's eyes were already filled with tears beneath his mask, and he only hated Jiraiya for not dying immediately.

Then he stood up and tried to calm himself down.

Under Jiraiya's gaze, it slowly disappeared into the mist.

Of course, Jiraiya didn't let Uchiha Itachi wait too long.

"Are you ready?"

October 11th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

night.

In the study room of the Hokage's house.

The cunning monkey Jue asked, holding the secret medicine for ghost sleep.

Tonight, the second round of the Chunin Exams officially ended.

All the ninjas of the same class, including Uzumaki Naruto, successfully entered the final round.

In response to this, Jiraiya paid out of his own pocket and allowed Naruto to take a group of young ninjas to the barbecue restaurant for a meal and celebration.

At this time, in the huge Hokage residence, apart from the guards outside the gate, there was only the three-person group that planned the "fake death plan".

Opposite Monkey Orange, Jiraiya was still organizing the documents on his desk.

He was seen carefully placing the documents, trying to create the illusion that he was trying his best to die.

"Almost done, come on."

Hearing Hou Jie's question, Jiraiya finally stopped what he was doing, reached out to take the secret medicine from the other's hand, and slowly opened the cork.

"Master."

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke still looked conflicted.

He just opened his mouth and asked:

"Are you sure you don't need to tell the truth to Lady Tsunade?"

Here, Jiraiya held the secret medicine in his hand, shook his head slowly, and said:

"She was a key part of the plan, what a pity"

Jiraiya sighed, Tsunade's beautiful face appearing in his mind again.

I saw a doting smile on his face, and he said with a smile:

"That woman, I'm afraid, is not good at acting."

Then, Jiraiya took another deep breath, looked directly into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, and said seriously:

"bring it on!"

"it is good"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and took out the puppet doll from his arms, and with his fingers trembling slightly, he held it in front of Jiraiya.

On this side, Jiraiya closed his eyes and repeated the process that everyone had planned before in his mind.

He was seen sitting in front of the desk, looking down at the liquid in the medicine bottle that was glowing with a faint green light, then he raised his hand and drank the secret medicine in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya raised his head and looked directly at the mind puppet in Uchiha Sasuke's hand, silently reciting the mantra that he had already memorized by heart.

"How about it?"

On the side, the cunning monkey Ju asked nervously.

Before he could finish his words, Jiraiya collapsed with a loud bang, falling heavily on the desk in front of him, scattering the already messy documents everywhere.

("Master?")

Uchiha Sasuke tried calling out in his mind.

(“Holy crap! That’s pretty funny.”)

Jiraiya responded in his mind.

Hearing his master's voice, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

("You know what, I look pretty handsome from this point of view.")

However, in my mind, Jiraiya's voice suddenly stopped.

Afterwards, it completely disappeared from Sasuke's sea of ​​consciousness.

("Master? Master Toad?

("Jiraiya?!")

Uchiha Sasuke called out loudly in his mind.

At the same time, the puppet doll in his hand has changed from gray to dark red.

"what happened?"

At the side, the cunning monkey Ju, who had sensed something was wrong, asked.

“I can’t reach him.”

Uchiha Sasuke said anxiously.

"No need to panic."

The cunning monkey immediately comforted him:

“Since the effect of the Ghost Sleep Secret Potion is to fake death.

"Then I'm afraid his soul has also fallen asleep.

"After 24 hours, I think you will be able to communicate normally."

"."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke was still staring at the puppet doll.

His eyes were filled with worry that could not be concealed.

"Hurry up, Sasuke!"

At the side, the cunning monkey couldn't help but urge.

Regardless of whether Jiraiya is really dead or not, things have developed to this point.

At this critical juncture, nothing can go wrong.

Uchiha Sasuke came back to his senses only after hearing Hou Jie's urging.

He then put the puppet back into his arms.

His originally flustered expression once again became resolute and courageous.

According to the plan, Uchiha Sasuke first reached out and took the bottle of secret medicine in Jiraiya's hand.

Then he rubbed his eyes hard, and his eyes immediately turned red.

Then, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

"Master!!"

The shouting was heard outside the door. At the entrance of the house, Genjian Shiranui and Beizu Leitong, who were originally yawning, suddenly changed their expressions.

They looked at each other and rushed into the house.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke and the cunning monkey looked at each other for a second. The latter nodded silently, then a puff of smoke rose and disappeared on the spot.

"Guard the door, no one is allowed to approach!

"I'll go get Lady Tsunade right away!"

Facing the two guards rushing in, Uchiha Sasuke shouted loudly with red eyes.

At the same time, he kept walking and rushed out of the door.

He ran towards Tsunade's residence.

Running and panting.

The door was pushed open and there was the sound of a wine glass breaking.

After confirming that Uchiha Sasuke was not joking, Tsunade was finally shocked.

She just put on a green gown and followed Sasuke closely, disappearing into the night together.

“Jiraiya!

"If you were playing a prank, today would be more than just breaking two ribs!"

Here, as soon as they entered the door of the Hokage's residence, Tsunade's powerful voice echoed throughout the building.

"Tsunade-sama."

At the door of the study, Bingzu Leitong, who looked frightened, greeted Shiranui Genma.

Seeing the looks of the two, Tsunade felt even more uneasy.

She looked uncertain. She walked quickly at first, then faster and faster, until the last few steps, she was almost running.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Tsunade looked at the man who was hunched over the desk, panting.

In an instant, all the sounds around seemed to disappear.

Tsunade gasped for breath and her head felt buzzing.

Suddenly, an inexplicable fear rose in Tsunade's heart.

"I said, hello."

Tsunade smiled nervously.

She was trembling all over, and she seemed to have seen the scene in her mind.

The next second, Jiraiya would jump up and laugh, and ask himself in a mean tone -

Haha! You silly woman, are you worried sick?

Tsunade stood hesitantly at the door and looked back at Uchiha Sasuke behind her.

However, Uchiha Sasuke didn't dare to look at Tsunade at this time.

He just lowered his head, looking anxious.

Tsunade's heart was pounding. She blinked hard, then took a deep breath and strode to Jiraiya's side.

Faced with this scene, Sasuke turned his head and looked to the side.

I felt nervous and guilty, and couldn't bear to watch the next scene.

On the shelf at the door, there is an abandoned crystal ball.

It is understood that during his lifetime, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen often used the "telescope technique" and this crystal ball to monitor all the movements of the Konoha Village at any time.

However, after the death of the third generation, this ninjutsu was lost.

At the moment, this crystal ball is just placed here, no different from an ordinary crystal ball, it just serves a decorative purpose.

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and his eyes happened to fall on the crystal ball.

The curved glass surface just reflected Tsunade's trembling face.

Under the reflection of the curved surface, the originally beautiful and majestic face now appears so distorted and terrifying.

"When did you find out?"

Here, Tsunade had already finished all the examinations. She stood beside Jiraiya with her head lowered, her voice so cold that not a trace of warmth could be heard.

"Half an hour ago."

Uchiha Sasuke answered cautiously.

Then, according to the lines agreed upon by everyone, he said dryly:

“At that time, I was resting in the living room, and suddenly I heard a sound of someone falling in the study.

“After I arrived, I found that Master was already lying here, seemingly not breathing.

"Then, um, I will go and invite you as soon as possible."

Logically speaking, Uchiha Sasuke should have some tears at this time.

But considering his acting skills, such a request is really too difficult for him.

Fortunately, Tsunade has completely fallen into grief.

She just nodded silently.

Then, the whole person staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Tsunade-sama!!"

"I'm fine!"

On this side, facing Genma Shiranui who wanted to come forward to support her, Tsunade raised her hand firmly and stopped him.

She managed to stand up again and said loudly:

“Contact Konoha Hospital immediately and ask them to send a team over!

“Also, no one is allowed to approach here without my order!

"I need to do a full checkup on Jiraiya!"

"Yes!"

The first step of the plan went more smoothly than expected.

After Tsunade's careful examination, she completely ruled out the possibility of poisoning, trauma, and other murders.

In addition to Jiraiya's previous preparations, he had mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, when facing people from all parties that he had been feeling very unwell recently.

In the end, with Tsunade's authoritative endorsement, Jiraiya's cause of death was quickly determined to be "sudden death."

Afterwards, the funeral of the Fifth Hokage was held as scheduled.

We all know what happened next.

Cloudy day, funeral.

Mourning, White Chrysanthemum.

Crows at the funeral and Uchiha Itachi in the distance.

After the funeral, Nara Shikamaru followed closely behind Uchiha Sasuke.

And the conflict between Uzumaki Naruto and Sai.

Falling rain.

At the Hokage's house, Naruto left.

Shikamaru comes to visit on a rainy night.

A puppet to be entrusted with the care of others.

The entrustment of the orphan failed.

At this point, the timeline has come to a close.

Facing Uchiha Sasuke who just wanted to get rid of him completely, Jiraiya felt mixed emotions.

An awkward silence spread between the master and the disciple.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiraiya chatted casually:

("By the way, who did you originally plan to ask to go with Shikamaru to pick me up?")

(“Who else?”)

Uchiha Sasuke said tiredly:

("Right now, the only people who know about this, besides you and me, are the cunning monkey.")

There was another moment of silence.

(“So, do you think someone has guessed our plan?

("For example, Nara Shikamaru?")

Jiraiya continued to make small talk.

("As long as Danzo Shimura doesn't guess it.")

Uchiha Sasuke answered lazily.

("Go to sleep and we'll talk about everything tomorrow.")

Here, Jiraiya wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Uchiha Sasuke.

I saw him yawning and walking towards the bathroom.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, Nara Mansion.

Earlier, after the condolences were over.

All the Sunagakure ninjas lived in corresponding guest houses under the arrangement of the Konoha officials.

Logically speaking, given Shikamaru's current status, he should stay with his wife.

However, since he was going to visit Sasuke tonight, Shikamaru made an excuse and said he wanted to stay at home.

At this time, Nara Shikamaru pushed the door open and went home, only to see that the living room was still brightly lit.

As soon as he entered the door, his mother Nara Yoshino came up to him, took the umbrella from Shikamaru, and considerately handed him a dry towel.

Compared to his previous hot-tempered personality, Nara Yoshino now looks much more listless.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shikamaru took the towel and asked softly while wiping the rain off his body.

On this side, Nara Yoshino did not answer.

She glanced towards the side of the living room, and following her gaze, Nara Shikamaru was surprised to find.

In the living room, besides the mother, there were two other ninjas.
