Danzo left.

He left very satisfied and happy.

He had achieved his goal, so of course he didn't want to waste any more time, but hurried back to prepare for the war.

As for Jiraiya?

It didn't matter whether he participated in the war or not.

Why would a ranger ninja who traveled abroad all year round and had no foundation compete with him for the position of Hokage?

If he came back to participate in the war, it would be because Danzo had a good leadership and made contributions to the united front, which would only increase his prestige.

If he didn't come back to participate in the war, it would mean that he had no village in his heart and was not worthy of inheriting the position of Hokage.

Danzo would not lose out no matter what.

So he didn't bother to pay attention to Jiraiya at all.

"This guy, he's still like this!"

Jiraiya pouted and grumbled, not respecting Danzo at all.

"Danzo-sama, it's always like this..."

"Or Sarutobi-sensei indulged him too much, even letting him establish a mysterious root."

Neither of them was stupid.

How could Danzo's little tricks and thoughts be hidden from them?

It's just that he didn't point it out, and it's not easy to tear his face with Danzo openly.

After all, fighting with Danzo means a full-scale confrontation with the third generation Sarutobi.

Jiraiya and Minato didn't want to go to that step, so one chose to travel all year round, and the other chose to be a puppet Hokage.

But now.

Madara's threat is gradually approaching, Minato doesn't care whether to tear his face or not, so he agreed and promoted this plan.

As for the other way?

Just show your cards with Danzo and others.

Tell Danzo that Madara is still alive and is plotting to destroy Konoha?

Don't be stupid!

The other party will probably not believe it, and will only regard it as an excuse for Minato to regain full power.

Even if he really believes it.

Will Danzo actively support himself and work together to fight against Madara?

Don't be kidding.

Minato has never been stupid, but is terribly shrewd. He has already understood the character and thoughts of everyone in Konoha's high-level through the three wars.

Even if Konoha is in crisis, like the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few days ago.

Before the last ninja of the Undying Light, Danzo and his Root will never take action!

Unless he has obtained the power of Hokage, he must win merits in order to become Hokage.

He will really take action and devote himself to the Root.

Just like now...

"Minato, can I see the immortal you mentioned? Such an existence is really curious!"

"Teacher, the whereabouts of the master are too mysterious, and I can't contact him..."

Minato shook his head in response.

But before he finished speaking.

"Swish——"

Xia You made a brilliant appearance and teleported into the living room.

Old Madara has run out of power, and Xia You sent him back.

Now of course I have to come and see Minato. After the pressure is over, I naturally have to come and induce him, so as not to be frightened by Madara's strength.

Minato is used to Xia You's elusiveness.

Jiraiya was startled, but the moment he saw Xia You.

He was completely attracted by the familiar [Samsara Eye].

"Is this, is this [Samsara Eye]?"

"How is this possible?"

The familiar Samsara Eye pattern reminded Jiraiya of his former disciple Nagato.

For a moment, Jiraiya almost mistook Xia You for the 'son of prophecy' mentioned by the great toad sage!

"Why, you have taught Nagato for three years, but you still can't tell whether this [Samsara Eye] is real or fake?"

As one of the current high-level combat forces in Konoha, Xia You doesn't mind chatting with Jiraiya and pulling him into the Minato camp to speed up the unification of World No. 4.

"You, you know Nagato?"

Jiraiya was more and more surprised, feeling that the other party seemed to know everything?

"Teacher, who is Nagato?"

Minato was a little curious. It sounded like the other party also had the legendary [Samsara Eye]?

But why didn't the teacher ever tell him?

Jiraiya fell into memories and explained briefly:

"That was the story at the end of the Second Ninja World War. I found three orphans in the Hidden Rain Village, one of whom had the legendary Samsara Eye, the same as the Six Paths Sage."

"I once thought he was the 'child of prophecy' mentioned by the Great Toad Sage, so I stayed in the Rain Country and taught the three of them carefully."

"Nagato was extremely talented. In just three years, he learned all the ninjutsu I taught him and comprehended the six changes in chakra properties."

"That year, he was only ten years old!"

"Later, due to various reasons, Because of this, I left the [Rain Country] and was forced to be involved in the Third Ninja World War. "

"Finally, unfortunately, I received the news of the death of those children..."

Minato sighed:

"The 'child of prophecy' who possesses the [Rinnegan]? He actually died in the war? This..."

"The prediction of the Great Toad Sage cannot be wrong. The child of prophecy must be a ninja who can change the entire Naruto world. Nagato unfortunately passed away. It should be that I made a wrong judgment. He is not the child of prophecy, right?"

Jiraiya said regretfully. Looking for the 'child of prophecy' has almost become a demon in his life.

"Teacher, is the child of prophecy really so important?"

"There is no need to question the Great Toad Sage. He is the closest to the Six Paths Sage. And maybe you are the real child of prophecy!"

In the eyes of Jiraiya today, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze is very much like the real child of prophecy.

He ended the three wars with his own strength, so fast that the whole ninja world trembled.

Compared with Minato Namikaze, no one seems good enough!

Minato was slightly embarrassed: "Teacher, I can't lead the reform of the ninja world..."

"Minato, don't be embarrassed. You are my best disciple. In the future, you will definitely..."

Xia You spoke up and interrupted Jiraiya's flattery.

He didn't come here to listen to Jiraiya's bragging.

"Stop..."

"As one of the three ninjas of Konoha, you talk about your broken prophecy all day long and run around the world. Aren't you ashamed?"

"No wonder Tsunade looks down on you. You have no responsibility at all."

"You..."

Jiraiya blushed.

When talking about his secret crush Tsunade, he suddenly became incoherent and slurred...

"You don't understand the importance of prophecy. If you don't guide the child of prophecy well, his power may bring destruction to the world!"

"Since you value the child of prophecy so much, why didn't you stay with Nagato and protect his growth?"

"I..."

The reason why Jiraiya left was very complicated.

On the one hand: After three years of teaching Nagato and the others, Nagato already possessed considerable strength, coupled with the Samsara Eye. The only person in the entire [Rain Country] who could defeat him was Hanzo of the Salamander, and Jiraiya believed that Nagato and the other three had the power to protect themselves.

On the other hand: Konoha was involved in the war again at that time, and Tsunade had also written to persuade him to return, needing his strength. In order to protect Konoha and the person he secretly loved, he had to be forced to leave [Rain Country].

"Thinking about being loyal to Konoha, while thinking about helping the child of prophecy to change the world."

"A person's butt can't sit on two positions. The more critical the moment, the more he will make a choice."

"And after making a choice and a choice, he is not firm enough. Regret again, embark on the journey to find the child of destiny again, trying to make up for his choice..."

"This is where you failed, Jiraiya!"

Xia You was very rude, and he would scold Jiraiya whenever he caught him.

As a Sannin, Jiraiya also learned fairy arts, so he has too many strengths and choices.

Either stay in the Hidden Rain Village, then Yahiko will not die, and Nagato will not turn evil.

Or stay in Konoha Village, then Kushina and Minato will probably not die.

Any choice is better than nothing.

The end of wanting everything is to get nothing...

"I..."

Jiraiya's face was gloomy, and he was powerless to refute.

During the time he stayed in the Hidden Rain Village, Tsunade lost her lover Kato Dan and her brother Nawaki...

After leaving the Hidden Rain Village, Nagato and three other people died...

Later, traveling around the world, he was not with his apprentice Minato during the [Nine-tail Rebellion]...

Although Jiraiya cannot be blamed for these tragedies, Jiraiya has been tormenting himself in his heart.

After all, as long as he is there, he may really change the ending!

Repeated failures and separations have made Jiraiya fall into extremes, and he has become more and more obsessed with finding the child of prophecy.

He has lost too much, and he can't even complete the prophecy in the end, right?

This is the root of Jiraiya's contradiction.

"Sir, the teacher still has many advantages, he..."

Minato stood up to defend Jiraiya.

He didn't know the inside story of these stories. In his eyes, Jiraiya has always been the best ninja.

He ended World War II in the name of the Three Ninjas, traveled around the world to practice Ninja Way, and wrote novels and biographies to become a literary giant...

This is much more successful than most ninjas!

For Minato's sake, Xia You was too lazy to continue to criticize Jiraiya, not to mention that it was not his main purpose.

"Let me tell you some information you don't know, which may cheer Jiraiya up."

"First: Nagato is not dead!"

"Ah?"

"Secondly: Danzo and Hanzo of the Salamander killed Yahiko."

"Ah??"

"Also: Nagato and the Akatsuki organization he founded are now under the control of Madara and are plotting against the entire ninja world."

"Ah??"

The information Xia You revealed was more shocking than the other, and almost shocked Jiraiya's jaw.

For a moment, Jiraiya's blood pressure soared, and he was ten times more excited than when he peeped into the bathhouse!
