Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

This scroll was transmitted by Danzo through summoning jutsu, with the purpose of confirming whether Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto were dead.

“Is it because he already knows about the changes in Iwagakure, or does he know that Jiraiya caused trouble, so he's inquiring?”

Orochimaru thought for a moment. He wasn't sure how much Danzo knew, or how much Jiraiya, Shuzawa, and the others had said after returning.

However, since Danzo was feigning concern and asking questions, he could naturally use this opportunity to his advantage!

“Why didn't you tell me Jiraiya and the others were coming to Iwagakure?”

Casually picking up a pen and taking out a blank scroll, Orochimaru began to write furiously.

He started with a question, intending to use a veiled response to probe Danzo.

After thinking for a moment, he continued writing.

“Things are troublesome, and the losses to me are great. I need more compensation.

Also, I have completed half of the task you asked me to do. As for the other half, he is still unconscious and might wake up someday.

So, the amount of compensation depends on your intentions.”

After vaguely writing these things, Orochimaru casually stuffed the scroll into a snake's mouth and then performed a hand seal with one hand.

The snake instantly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared before his eyes, and a smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips.

“Now I can observe Danzo's reaction carefully. Moreover, I need Danzo to write even more information, even leaving his name behind.”

Orochimaru knew very well that it wouldn't be easy to get Danzo to take the bait, but he could still try.

If he succeeded, then perhaps they could really catch the big fish, Shihara Shuzawa.

“And with this big fish, Danzo, our game will progress even better!”

Thinking of his unlucky experience this time, and how he was treated as a toy by Danzo and manipulated at will.

A proud person like Orochimaru, even if he had indeed admitted defeat this time, could no longer hide the fire in his eyes.

“You bastards, you actually blocked my path, damn it!”

Konoha Village, inside a quiet forest.

Jiraiya's face was covered in bruises and swelling, his whole body was a mess, and he was pointing at Shuzawa and Yuugao with a dissatisfied expression.

“Do you know? I was almost beaten to death!”

“Jiraiya-sama, if I'm not mistaken, you were clearly peeping while someone was taking a bath. Why are you blaming us?”

Shuzawa shrugged. Looking at Jiraiya's appearance, he only found it amusing.

“Also, Jiraiya-sama could have used chakra to run away. Besides, they weren't really trying to kill you.

Otherwise, where would Jiraiya-sama have the energy to talk now?”

“Hmph, this Toad Sage disdains to use chakra against ordinary people!”

Jiraiya muttered unhappily. Although he was a pervert, he had his own ninja principles.

Like Tsunade, who would rather be chased around the world by ordinary people for debts than kill the debtors to settle the accounts.

Jiraiya also didn't use his chakra against these ordinary people, and the result was that he was chased and beaten by the workers of the hot spring inn.

“No, you have to compensate me, you bastards! I could have run away!”

“Is that so?”

Shuzawa looked at Jiraiya seriously, then turned to look at Karin.

“Karin, go back and call Tsunade-sensei. First, help Jiraiya-sama heal, and then we…”

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Before Shuzawa could finish speaking, Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer.

He was only beaten by ordinary people. As a powerful ninja, it wasn't a big deal. He was just a little sore and could recover with a little rest.

If Tsunade came over and knew the whole story…

Jiraiya couldn't help but shudder. He was afraid he would really have to lie in the hospital for half a month or a month before he could move freely!

Tsunade wouldn't be polite to him. He had been hammered into the hospital by Tsunade before.

“Forget it, this sage isn't that fragile. They're just a few ordinary people.”

“As expected, Captain Jiraiya is the most amazing!”

Shuzawa immediately nodded with a smile, but his words 'Captain' almost made Jiraiya turn around and run.

He was already a little sensitive to the word 'Captain', especially when it came out of Shuzawa's mouth. It was definitely not a good word!

“We're not a team right now, so don't call me Captain.”

Jiraiya grabbed Shuzawa, and he opened his mouth with incomparable seriousness.

“I'm begging you.”

“But you were indeed our captain.”

Shuzawa blinked, but seeing Jiraiya's bruised and swollen face, he almost couldn't help but laugh.

Yuugao, who was on the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She thought to herself that she must never go to the hot springs where Jiraiya was in the future, and then asked curiously.

“By the way, Jiraiya-sama, I remember you were discussing matters in Iwagakure, so how did it end up like this now…”

“Tch, the matters over there have been discussed almost completely.”

Speaking of Iwagakure, Jiraiya couldn't help but twitch his lips. This time, he couldn't escape the negotiations with Iwagakure.

After all, as the captain, he was also the person who experienced everything, and he was also a disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the Sannin of Konoha. There was no way he could escape.

This made him extremely envious of Tsunade. There was a moment when he was thinking that it would have been better if he hadn't gone in the first place.

However, seriously speaking, he didn't really regret it. At least he really saw Orochimaru, and even saw Konan.

“This time the trouble is a bit big, after all, things have been taken too far.”

Shaking his head, Jiraiya was too lazy to dwell on it. He looked at Shūzawa and Yūgao and said helplessly.

“Especially because we trespassed, which caused a huge external disaster, so we need to make some compensation.”

“Wait, Jiraiya-sama.”

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Shūzawa suddenly interrupted him.

“Wasn’t it Jiraiya-sama who decided to trespass, and we only went in as your support as the captain?”

“…”

For some reason, Jiraiya felt his fists clench.

If it weren't for your instigation, you bastard, would I have gone in?

Damn it, this guy doesn't take any blame at all, all the responsibility is on others, right?

“Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. In short, Konoha will probably pay some price this time.”

Jiraiya sighed. It was a bit embarrassing to argue with a kid.

“Also, you guys should be more careful in the future. Although the matter is resolved, I don't think Iwagakure will let it go easily.

In the future, when others carry out tasks, there will probably be trouble.”

“Not surprising, Ōnoki has always been petty.”

Shūzawa shrugged indifferently. He could say whatever he wanted, not only because he wasn't worried about Iwagakure's revenge.

More importantly, he knew that Konoha probably wouldn't assign him any tasks related to Iwagakure or Kumogakure for a long time.

Although this made him somewhat helpless, after all, he was still thinking about Ōnoki's Dust Release, and most importantly, Kumogakure's Storm Release.

But sometimes it can only be like this, and he doesn't have any other good solutions.

“I see you're not much better, learning all sorts of things from Danzō every day.”

Jiraiya glanced at Shūzawa disdainfully, then he suddenly touched his chin.

“But speaking of which, there seems to be some interesting new news.”

“Oh, what news?”

Shūzawa looked at Jiraiya curiously, and Yūgao also looked curious, but Jiraiya was a bit silent at this moment.

But after thinking about it, he finally felt that it wouldn't matter to say it, because this was somewhat related to the two people in front of him.

“It is said that Kirigakure seems to have made some progress. It seems that you guys proposed to investigate Kirigakure.”

“But speaking of which, how much do you know about the Akatsuki and that Uchiha Obito?”

“If possible, I hope you can tell me, this is very important to me.”

Chapter 101 LV10 Rasengan, The Uchiha's Stormy Situation

“The Akatsuki?”

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Shūzawa couldn't help but touch his chin.

Talking about the Akatsuki was definitely not a problem for Shūzawa, especially since it involved his hidden mission.

However, how to talk about this matter in order to maximize his own benefits must be carefully considered.

Of course, one thing also needs to be carefully considered, and that is the source of his information.

He can't just say that it was the information he got from the network he had set up before, right?

Not to mention whether such an answer is trustworthy, but is it possible to get this information for hundreds of thousands of ryō?

The price must be increased!

It's like raising pigs. Humans provide food for pigs, and pigs also provide food for humans. The main thing is a win-win situation.

This is also respect for each other.

“Karin, go back first.”

After thinking clearly, Shūzawa turned to look at Karin and said with a smile.

“Sorry, I encountered some things. I'm afraid Yūgao and I won't be able to accompany you.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Karin was still very sensible, but she glared at Jiraiya as she turned to leave.

Jiraiya's first impression of her was not good.

He was lecherous and took up her time, it was too hateful!

“…”

Jiraiya's mouth twitched, but he didn't argue with a child, but curiously looked at Karin.

“Is she the descendant of the Uzumaki clan? She really has a bit of Kushina's feel.”

Not knowing if it was a sad topic, Jiraiya sighed helplessly.

The death of Minato Namikaze and Kushina really touched him a lot, which made it difficult for him to let go even now.

But after sighing, he said seriously.

“Let's talk about the Akatsuki. You were the first to discover them. Although I have read a lot of reports, you have the most say in some things.”

“The Akatsuki is very dangerous, but at the same time it is also very mysterious. In fact, if you really want to know more, my personal suggestion is to catch Ōnoki.”

Shūzawa pretended to think, and then said.

“After all, Ōnoki has hired them many times, and he definitely knows more than us.

Although we caught Kitsuchi, Kitsuchi is just a wage earner after all. How much can he know?”

“…”

Jiraiya rubbed his eyebrows. Shūzawa really deserved to be the true heir of Danzō. He spouted nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth!

Fortunately, this is Konoha, and he doesn't need to worry about Shūzawa going crazy, and he probably won't let him go to Iwagakure again in the future.

It's just that this kind of personality needs to be changed no matter how you look at it, right?

“Kitsuchi is Ōnoki's son, don't talk nonsense, and don't say these messy things, I beg you.”
