Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 101 The Story of Love

Seeing this, Naruto muttered to himself, "Just taking off the mask, does that really require an exchange?"

However, after muttering to himself, Naruto suddenly remembered his and Sasuke's failed attempt to peek at Kakashi's true face. For some reason, his curiosity was suddenly piqued. Naruto thought 'maliciously', maybe this guy also has buck teeth and is too ashamed to show his face, hehe~!

Hearing this, Karin pursed her lips and felt a sense of powerlessness, because she knew that with her own strength or wealth, she had nothing to offer in exchange to the person in front of her.

Jiraiya pondered to himself, his intuition telling him that this might be a rare opportunity. So far, none of the Genju members had shown their faces publicly, so perhaps he could get some unexpected information this time. Moreover, it seemed that Karin wanted to confirm something.

"What do you need?"

Hyuga Kito thought about it seriously for a while after hearing this, then took out a book from his chest. "A friend asked me to get the author of this book to sign it for him, and he just wants me to give him 1000 million ryo."

"Ten million taels!" Naruto exclaimed in shock. "That's equivalent to several S-rank missions! Hey! You have to know when to stop asking for such an exorbitant amount, you bastard!"

"Naruto, be quiet!" Sasuke sighed, frowning slightly as he looked at the book in Woodman's hand. The cover...

Kai wasn't interested in the wooden figure's true appearance, but with the wooden figure's "representative" influence, he suddenly became curious about the book in the figure's hand. "What kind of book is this?"

"Hmm... It's supposedly a book about using 'love' to transform the world."

Jiraiya looked at the familiar cover and was immediately puzzled, because it seemed to be something he had written...

It wasn't until he took the book and saw the large characters on it that Jiraiya was completely certain that this was his own work, "The Tale of the Gritful Ninja"!

I remember that it took Uchiha Gen a lot of effort to find this book. Although this book, like Icha Icha Paradise, was written by Jiraiya, it was not popular for various reasons, resulting in a scarcity of copies.

The book he acquired was obtained by paying a hefty bounty on the black market. As for why he didn't just buy "Make-Out Paradise" directly? Well... mainly because he didn't know when he would have the chance to get close to Jiraiya, and it felt a bit... indecent to take it out in front of a kid...

"Achu!" Kakashi, who was out on a mission, suddenly sneezed. His eyes were still deadpan. He rubbed his nose. "Yay, yay, are those brats cursing me?"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Kakashi's mission was to take the scroll containing the Third Kazekage's puppet to the Sand Village for negotiations.

Thinking of Chiyo's sinister gaze when they first met, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly. "War..."

He secretly decided that he would leave as soon as he finished his business. After all, even if Chiyo said she would not pursue the matter, it would be better for the son of his enemy to stay away from her.

Jiraiya, holding the book, was somewhat moved. Without asking many questions, he took out a pen from his pocket, signed his name, and handed it back to Hyuga Kito, saying, "May I ask who your friend is?"

Hinata Kito didn't show much surprise upon seeing this. He simply took the autograph and calmly shook his head, saying, "This matter needs to be kept confidential."

"This is a considerable sum of money; I need to consult the Hokage."

"Can."

"So now you..."

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, the wooden figure slowly covered its mask with its hand...
