Red Dust

What is even more commendable is that Jiraiya felt a rare resonance full of will from the girl who did not use any extraordinary power and only exercised her body in the most basic way. The aura released from the outside, as long as it is not deliberately hidden, the master with keen perception will more or less perceive it.

"As expected of a rising star in the village, but..."

Zilai also rubbed his chin and shook his head slightly,

"Did you get too close to Sand Shinobi?"

Even the seemingly innocent Daimaru seems to be a little out of place.

But after thinking about it, Jiraiya sighed helplessly.

I am not afraid of thinking, but I am afraid of comparison. Among the ninjas of the same age, Sand Shinobi has a huge advantage. Before Naruto Uzumaki has grown up, Sasuke Uchiha has defected. Now, it is Neji Neng and Yakumo Kurama. Make two gestures.

In contrast, the Kazekage five generations of Gaara and Daimaru, the leader of the "Quick Aid Team", put too much pressure on the Konoha Ninja who used to compete on the same stage.

Strong enough to have no friends, that's what I said.

Konoha Village didn't arrange a team for Kurama Yakumo, and it was true that he couldn't find a suitable team leader and teammate.

Jiraiya, who knew that he was safe, turned around and went to the bathroom in the inner room to wash up, cleaned up the mess all over his body, put on a plain white long gown, and waited in the reception room for another half an hour before he finally finished. I saw Yakumo Kurama walking in, wiping his sweat with the towel around him.

Seeing that Jirai was also present, Kurama Yakumo seemed a little surprised, but he didn't expect to be one of the famous "Three Ninjas".

"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time. Daimaru just said that there is a big person coming, let me entertain you, I didn't expect it to be Lord Jiraiya..."

Even Xiaobaimu, the little guy who forgot everything he played, didn't reveal a word. Kurama Yakumo was amused. The little guy who knew how to play all day seemed to have rules for her, otherwise he probably wouldn't want to return. home.

Zilai also smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay, it's just a meeting! This is the property of the Kurama family? I hope it didn't cause you any trouble..."

"Nope……"

Kurama Yakumo breathed smoothly, sat down on the sofa opposite Jiraiya, and explained politely,

"It's said to be a sanatorium, but it's actually a resort that serves me alone. Most of the time, there are no people, and I only use it when I need it..."

"Hahaha……"

Come and have fun,

"Such a large industry is actually your 'playground' by yourself. The rumors of the rich and wealthy of the Pommel family are not just a vain name..."

The proud pommel horse Yakumo smiled slightly:

"Small family, that's all, it's not worth mentioning, it makes you laugh..."

The so-called "being so poor that only money is left" is probably what it means. Jirai, who heard a little overtone, sighed in his heart, and sure enough, everyone is envious of what they don't have, but others have at their fingertips.

"Do you know the time-space technique that the little guy just used?"

"I can't tell you the specifics. I only know a little bit of skin! It's not as convenient as the Flying Thunder God Technique, but a combination of illusion and force field..."

After thinking about it for a while, Kurama Yakumo replied,

"Compared to time-space ninjutsu, it's more like illusion, and it's quite different from time-space ninjutsu in the strict sense..."

For example, the technique of flying thunder god and divine power, no matter how they change, they are all ninjutsu based on the migration of spatial coordinates. Tenseijutsu’s constant illusion space is more like the concept of establishing a detachment from three-dimensionality in two places that meet very far away. The passage of space, the effect of time-space movement, is just an appearance, but its essence is a bit similar to Izanagi of the Uchiha family. It starts directly from the result, so there are phenomena such as resurrection and post-death position drift.

After all, the basic rules of the ninja world are like this, not very stable, and there are not so many things that are immutable.

Even in daily ninjutsu exchanges, Daimaru even suggested that if there is enough chakra to push, the power of illusion can even reverse time and cause and effect. Unfortunately, this "proposition" is too big, and Daimaru can't really "change." "Get out of the dragon vein, really try to go back to the past, and verify whether you can tamper with the future results by affecting the past.

"Is it illusion?"

Jiraiya scratched his messy hair in embarrassment.

When it comes to the application of ninjutsu, Jirai also believes that his aptitude is not bad, but this kind of rigorous principle research is really not his field of expertise. It is obviously a super-distance displacement that spans space. One is an illusion?

This kind of problem is not a field that Jiraiya is good at relying on talent and instinct.

"Let's not talk about that, your connection with Daimaru is quite close..."

Speaking of this, Kurama Yakumo rolled his eyes and replied with a smile,

"After all, it's also about helping each other, achieving mutual success, and doing business together. For me, although money is no longer important, no one thinks it's too much, right?"

"It's natural to be able to live in harmony..."

Zilai also said with some annoyance,

"I also want that kid Naruto to have a good relationship with Daimaru, but I don't know if it's because of incompatibility or some other reason. Naruto doesn't like Daimaru at all. It's probably the origin of the previous Chunin exams. The first impression is very bad. , it will be difficult to reverse it later..."

"Those who see the world with their instincts and those who see the world with their wisdom have differences on some fundamental issues..."

Kurama Yakumo, who said something casually, shook the bell on the table, and the servant who was always on call served hot tea for the two of them, and at the same time went to prepare hot spring water to relieve the tiredness of the eldest lady after exercising.

"It's just difficult to get along, and it's not really a contradiction, you don't have to worry, Naruto is a good guy..."

"I hope so!"

Zilai also sighed.

Some things really can't be forced. For example, this time, the feeling that Nagato is right in front of you, but you can't do anything, is really bad.

Chapter 1106 Changes

In Konoha Village, the preoccupied Tsunade ignored the advice of a conscientious secretary and the concerns of several consultants, left work early, went to an izakaya, and got half drunk, and came to Hokage. The terrace on the top floor of the house stands by the railing.

One hand shook the white porcelain wine bottle, the other hand stroked the temples that were ruffled by the cool evening wind, watching the sunset gradually disappearing into the depths of the mountains in the distance.

The original beautiful scenery, with the development of the times, the feeling is also a little different.

In the past Konoha Village, there were not many high-rise buildings, and scattered dwellings were dotted in the small woods.

The Ninja Village, worthy of the name of "Konoha", has a surprisingly high greening rate.

But as Sand Ninja brought the puppet industry here, the by-product of the "puppet technique" that combines extraordinary and semi-manual machinery gradually bloomed in this small town with a very rich primitive style.

In today's Konoha Village, most of the buildings with a height of more than tens of meters are the apron and elevator for flying ninjas and airlift puppets.

These strange-style buildings have obscured a lot of the originally endless skyline, which makes people who like to overlook it not without regrets.

The Hokage House, with the gate facing the southeast, has a fairly wide line of sight and has not been affected by the development of the new era. It is still one of the most dazzling places in Konoha Village.

Only now, Tsunade is not in the mood to appreciate it.

Counting the time, Jiraiya should have arrived in the Land of Rain, and the reconnaissance mission is underway, or it has already ended.

Up to now, there has been no official information, so Tsunade, who used to be one of the "Three Ninjas", also has a bad premonition.

Although it is implied that Sand Ren will assist, it is not a literal agreement. Once it is breached, there can be no more than moral condemnation and meaningless revenge afterwards.

"Idiot Jiraiya, I don't know how to send a message back! 』

Tsunade couldn't help complaining softly.

If others don't have time to send a message, that's all. With the relationship between Jiraiya and Miaomushan, let the special contact frog run easily.

In fact, there are other options for this kind of reconnaissance mission. It is not inevitable, but it requires more Anbu elites to dedicate and sacrifice.

If it wasn't for the news from Sandyin Village, it showed that the leader of the "Xiao" organization was probably an old friend of Jiraiya, so Tsunade couldn't refuse strongly, and there might be more ways to confirm.

Although he kept mocking the idiot who was also self-motivated, this was one of his few advantages that could be seen by others.

Time passed quickly, until night fell, and the street lamps in the village were also lit in turn. Tsunade, who was anxious, waited for the long-lost information.

When he took the letter from an official of the password decryption department and saw Jiraiya's signature, his heart was completely put down.

As for the information that was already known and was only reviewed again, as well as the assessment of combat power and danger, they were not valued too much.

"Have you escaped, that idiot, I don't know how to get in touch earlier..."

For Ninja Village, the importance of intelligence is unquestionable, but ninjas are also living people, with emotions, emotions, and emotions. Compared with the cold data, their lively relatives and friends are more valued.

Jirai also investigates the matter of the Land of Rain, and it will come to an end for the time being. Some people are happy, some people have lingering fears, and naturally some people are disappointed.

Shimura Danzo was a little surprised by the news that Jiraiya was safe and sound at the headquarters of the "Root" organization hidden in an unknown area.

In the entire ninja world, in addition to Daimaru and Tsuchikage three generations of Me Ohnogi and the owner of Samsara Eye, Shimura Danzo knew its power clearly.

Not to mention seeing others, few have heard of it.

It was precisely because he felt how strong Nagato with the Eye of Samsara was that he was a little disapproving of Jiraiya's adventure, and looked forward to his return.

As a result, Jiraiya was able to break out of the country of rain without any risk, which made Shimura Danzo annoyed, but also felt that the road to the throne of Naruto was so difficult.

There are too many roadblocks.

The third generation is getting old, and when the fourth generation was selected, it was already very difficult to force Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru to retreat, but unfortunately a more dazzling golden flash appeared.

After finally waiting for the fourth generation to die in battle, the third generation would rather come back than give others a chance; after more than ten years of hard work, and finally waited for the "Konoha collapse plan", the third generation was also killed by Orochimaru, and Tsunade was invited back to preside over the overall situation. .

It is foreseeable that even if there is something wrong with Tsunade, Mito Kamon and Koharu will definitely push Jiraiya to the top, and the destination of the sixth generation of Hokage still has nothing to do with Shimura Danzo.

In a few years, another generation of ninjas will grow up, and no one will think of letting the "old-fashioned dragon bell" Shimura Danzo take over the position of Hokage.

There is not much time left for Shimura Danzo.

Even if the first-generation cells were transplanted, and a huge amount of vitality was obtained, most of the dark wounds in his body were improved, the combat power was restored, and even worse, the matter of desecrating the corpse of the first-generation Hokage can't be said on the table, there are some things. It can be done, but it is definitely not suitable for public disclosure.

"Find out as soon as possible, how did Jirai survive from the power of Samsara Eye..."

Facing Shimura Danzo, who was instructed by several of his subordinates who were half-kneeling in front of him, waiting for an order, he turned and left with a blank face.

Shimura Danzo, who has mastered the first-generation cells and Uchiha Shisui's kaleidoscope Sharinyan, can now use Mudun and Beetianjin. It is when his confidence is bursting. Owner, save the ninja world.

"Jiraiya, is he already strong to this point?It seems that there are still a lot of things happening that are out of control..."

Strong enemies are not scary, but the unknown and the unexpected will catch people off guard.

"Do you want to use other gods? 』

Shimura Danzo, who has been born to solve troubles once and for all more than once, has not impulsively used the power of the strongest illusion to clear obstacles before he can grasp the overall situation.

But now it seems that it is not necessary, and if you hesitate any more, there will be no chance.

"Wait, there is only one chance, and there will be a second chance after more than ten years. Don't waste it! 』

There are too many uncontrollable factors, even if it is the most irresistible illusion, it can only solve a strong enemy, and cannot let all troubles be swept away.

Clearing up the battle of the "Xiao" organization, or the Fourth Ninja World War, is a good time for Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo, who has been waiting for so many years, does not lack the patience to wait another year and a half.

The leader of the "Root" organization who returned to the private office directly threw a top-secret letterhead signed "Onogi" on the desk into the brazier and burned it to ashes.
