Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Sitting in the temporary base of the Akatsuki organization, following the new members who joined Akatsuki with him, he went to meet the old members for a drink, and exchanged information about each other's past and the original intention of joining Akatsuki. This is what Jiraiya did today things.

As an elite Jonin who could complete hundreds of S-level tasks for Konoha, Jiraiya easily obtained a lot of interesting information from the new and old members who were talking to him, but this did not let him. Feeling happy actually strengthened his belief that this trip was necessary.

"The precious blood successor ninjas are guarded by only a few scattered guards. The structure of the organization is too rudimentary. You are not clear enough about the respective scope of authority of the combat, intelligence and logistics departments. More importantly, the mechanism for selecting members is seriously immature... "

Jiraiya sipped the wine in the cup, and while scanning the surrounding Akatsuki members who were enjoying the wine, he couldn't help but sigh.

Just tonight when he came to have a drink with the old members and keep in touch with each other, Jiraiya had already discovered three or four people who had obviously received professional espionage training and were secretly stealing from the unprepared old members. They are people who extract information from the members, and judging from the way they distance themselves intentionally or unintentionally, they each belong to different forces...

"Hey, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, the knowledge I taught you to protect yourself is just the tip of the iceberg of all kinds of weird things in the ninja world. If you don't have any defense like this, If you regard them all as companions in your heart, how miserable it will be to be betrayed by them..."

Jiraiya, who was well versed in the darkness of the ninja world, drank all the wine in his glass and silently made up his mind.

As for Konoha, Minato was assisted by Sarutobi-sensei and other jounin. Even without his own help, with his abilities developed during the war, he should be able to get the village back on track relatively easily.

But the new Akatsuki organization is different. Although the three Akatsuki leaders grew up in the war years, they have no experience in participating in wars or commanding wars. They are not familiar with running an organization at all, and they are not familiar with dispatching large amounts of materials and manpower. The understanding of this matter is seriously insufficient...

If he didn't want to help them secretly, just these spies from various villages who had sneaked in would be enough to deplete the already poor family of the Akatsuki organization at a faster speed, and achieve the goal of causing an outbreak within the Akatsuki organization without even a single blow. The purpose is contradictory. If there are a few more high-level ninjas of the iron-blooded hawks like Danzo who are secretly causing trouble...

The son of prophecy who was supposed to bring peace and change to the world may even be dragged into darkness and become a radical and twisted avenger.

At this time, it is up to me, the incompetent teacher, the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku, and the hero Jiraiya to protect the dreams of the disciples, huh.

But before that, you have to apply to Xiaonan for a position in the intelligence department... If you are thrown into the combat department responsible for stopping the fight, you might be able to see some flaws during the battle, and it won't be possible. It is helpful for me to pass on the experience I have accumulated to Nagato and Yahiko, who are still a little immature.

Pushing the mask used for the first layer of disguise on his face, Jiraiya stood up. After saying hello to his contemporaries and several seniors of the Akatsuki organization who were already acquaintances, he returned to his own He fell asleep peacefully in the temporarily assigned room.

…

At the same time, Nagato, who was worried about by Jiraiya, was using the unique secret technique of the Rinnegan - the Phantom Body Technique, and was communicating with someone far away in Kirigakure, who had just finished a day's work and was preparing to sleep. Kaguya Rei made contact.

"It's so late, why do you want to see me, Nagato?" Kaguya Rei yawned without any image burden, and asked lazily, "I can't say it's because of those who want to take away what I have. There are too many blood successor ninjas and it’s too annoying, so you’re going to sell those hot potatoes to me, right?”

"Has something big happened in Konoha recently?" Nagato did not answer directly, but instead threw the question back in a roundabout way.

"Konoha? A big event? Well, let me think about it, except for the defection of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, nothing that can be called a big event has happened..." Kaguya Rei's illusion looked around Looking at the surroundings of Nagato, he asked in confusion: "Why are you asking about this? Don't you Akatsuki have members who are responsible for collecting intelligence from various countries?"

After hearing the news, Nagato was stunned for a moment. His mind uncontrollably recalled the scene where Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya were supporting each other and relying on each other. Then he shook his head with a sigh in his tone. said:

"...Because Mr. Jiraiya, after dressing up in disguise, he inexplicably came to the Kingdom of Iron to join our Akatsuki."

Nagato's words made Kaguya stop rubbing his eyes with his hands and yawning. After squinting and thinking for a while, he said uncertainly:

"Well, is it because my previous provocation that he was a hands-off teacher irritated him? Or is it because after Orochimaru's defection, Jiraiya's spirit was stimulated by something, so he temporarily planned to leave Konoha for a while to let himself Be quiet?"

"Isn't there a worse possibility? For example..." Nagato took a deep breath and tentatively made a somewhat overly malicious guess: "Jiraiya-sensei is also completely disappointed in Konoha. some type of?"

"That must be impossible."

Kaguya Rei rejected Nagato's guess without hesitation, "As Jiraiya's apprentice, Namikaze Minato is still sitting in the position of the Fourth Hokage. Jiraiya himself does not particularly value power. He has What's the reason for betraying the village?"

"That's right... Then Jiraiya-sensei simply chose to come to us because he was feeling a little confused to see what our dreams actually look like?" Nagato continued to ask.

"Maybe it is, maybe it's not, but what does it matter?"

Kaguya Rei yawned and said listlessly:

"You just use him who is disguising his identity as a useful tool. How many problems an organization like yours has in its early stages can be seen by an old-timer in the ninja world like Jiraiya at a glance. Bu Li Shi, if you delegate power to him, he won’t say that he can help you correct these problems to perfection, but at least he can block the big flaws and problems that are easy to be exploited.”

"And don't forget, there is still a bet between us about the Land of Rain and Sansho Hanzo that has not yet ended. If you take Jiraiya, a guy who has fought against Hanzo, with you, if Sansho Hanzo really takes action Even if your Akatsuki organization is plotting against you, it doesn’t mean that you are the only one capable of resisting..."

"You are still so pessimistic about Hanzo, Rei Kaguya."

"I'm not pessimistic, I'm just good at analyzing based on reality."

Kaguya Rei shook her head and said slowly:

"The Country of Rain is small in area and has a small population. Although Rain Hidden Village, under the leadership of Hanzo, once became the initiator of the Second Ninja War, a small country is a small country. After the Second Ninja War, After the peak period, Yuyin Village only has about six to seven hundred people left."

"If you Akatsuki are still a dozen or dozens of people, then even if you have a pair of reincarnation eyes, Hanzo should still be able to allow you Akatsuki to continue to operate in the Kingdom of Rain. But now, you have become one member of nearly two people." Hundreds, and most of them are large organizations with some capable ninjas. This scale alone is enough to make Hanzo, who has lost his ambition and just wants to maintain his status, become afraid of you."

The illusion generated by the Lantern Body Jutsu began to flicker. It seemed that Rei Kaguya, who was far away in Kirigakure, did not intend to continue the topic. Taking advantage of the last moment before the illusion disappeared, Kaguya Rei sleepily said to Nagato. :

"In short, my opinion is that if Jiraiya wants to help you, then let him do it and pretend not to know that he is Jiraiya; and if you really plan to use the Kingdom of Rain as the "Akatsuki" Base camp, then it’s better to be prepared for the backstab from Sansho Hanzo..."

"That's it, I'm going to rest first."

Kaguya Rei disconnected the long-range chakra link with Nagato, then stood up and opened the window of the room, stared at the waning moon in the sky, and slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist.

Although Jiraiya did not intentionally get the Akatsuki organization, if he was present, even if Hanzo really launched a backstab against the Akatsuki organization as in the original work, there is a high probability that he would not be able to force Nagato to the point of no return. He went to a desperate situation, and if Nagato had not turned dark because of losing Yahiko, Uchiha Madara's carefully prepared resurrection plan would not be useful...

"I have inserted so many variables into the chess game. I wonder if you will take some actions that are not in the history I know because of this, Uchiha Madara, and... Black Zetsu?"

Staring at the bright satellite shaped by the power of the Six Paths, Kaguya Rei thought silently in her heart.

A little late, but at least it’s written (down)
