Chapter 284 Attack
Chapter 284 Attack
In a town in the Land of Fire.
Jiraiya, who was completely drunk, woke up in a daze.
He grabbed the water bottle next to him and gulped it down.
After drinking some cold water, I felt a little more awake and went to the washroom.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Jiraiya brushed his teeth while wiping the lipstick stains off his face.
After washing up, Jiraiya sat down at the coffee table, which was covered with stacks of drafts.
He recently had a great time spying on the many new bathhouses that had opened in the city.
He went out for drinks and entertainment all night to relax and gather plenty of material.
Now is the perfect time for me to write a book, as my thoughts are flowing freely.
Jiraiya wrote while reminiscing.
He seemed to be thinking of some wonderful experience, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.
After a while, a knocking sound came from the window outside.
Jiraiya was only then able to break free from the state of creation.
He saw a harbinger bird tapping on the window, so he quickly opened the window and took the scroll off the bird's leg.
Jiraiya's expression grew increasingly serious as he looked at the intelligence report.
“Master Chankong…”
Unexpectedly, Zen Master Kong made his move again, and this time he directly extracted Shukaku from Gaara's body.
But Gaara is now completely out of danger.
The Third Hokage specifically mentioned that Uchiha Chiyo was a typical hawkish leader.
Naruto's current mentor is Itachi Uchiha.
If this trend continues, it won't be long before Naruto is completely won over by the Uchiha clan.
Once Chiyo becomes Hokage, he will likely oversee any external invasions.
Zenku had the intention of extracting the Nine-Tails from Naruto.
The Third Hokage's intention was to find a new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki for Konoha.
Although the Third Hokage didn't say it explicitly, he definitely wanted to replace the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with someone from the Sarutobi clan.
Jiraiya also began to ponder whether or not to do it.
He was a typical Konoha defender, and a staunch dove.
Therefore, Jiraiya never considered external invasion.
Although the Third Hokage has been wary of the Uchiha clan over the years, he has still done a good job in the development of Konoha Village.
For example, regarding the Third Hokage, only Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Uchiha Chiyo are qualified to compete for the next Hokage.
Given Chiyo's personality, once he becomes Hokage, he will immediately ignite the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Before finding the prophesied child, what he desired most was peace.
Jiraiya solemnly took out a scroll, wrote a reply, and released the messenger bird.
After packing up, they headed towards the Land of Rain.
……
The Land of Earth.
A group of Sunagakure spies have been discovered by Iwagakure and are now being hunted down.
The team had three people, but now only one remains.
"It's over, looks like I'm going to die here." Sunagakure's expression was quite calm.
Such reconnaissance missions, which delve deep into local territory, are inherently highly dangerous.
It's normal for them to die.
Fortunately, the intelligence had already been sent out.
Well, next.
While jumping around, Sunagakure stuck explosive tags inside his clothes one by one.
Then he pretended to be exhausted and gradually slowed down.
The three hidden rock figures behind them were getting closer and closer.
The tall, strong rock hermit in the middle, named Shi Ze, said, "Beware of a trap. Let me go."
"Yes, Captain Ishizawa!"
The other two Iwagakure members immediately slowed their pace.
Sunagakure's speed slowed down, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Ishizawa suddenly lunged at Sunagakure.
Sunagakure turned around, the explosive tags on his body already sizzling.
"Let's die together!"
Shi Ze sneered, and his skin rapidly changed color.
Boom!
After a loud bang, only Shi Ze, whose clothes were blown to shreds, was left at the scene.
Ishizawa's exposed skin was entirely black.
There wasn't a single scratch.
This is Ishizawa's bloodline limit, Steel Release: Hardening.
His two teammates caught up with lingering fear: "Thank goodness you were here, Shi Ze."
Shi Ze waved his hand, not taking credit for it.
"They've all been fried into tiny pieces; he got off easy."
Every ninja village has an interrogation department; even a dead brain can reveal some information.
Therefore, some ninjas, in order to prevent information from being leaked, would not even leave behind their bodies when they committed suicide.
It's not uncommon for people to take others down with them when they die.
However, Ishizawa possesses Steel Release, so in this situation, it would be best for him to go.
Just then, a figure with a yin-yang face, dressed in a black robe with fiery clouds, suddenly emerged from the ground.
Then he raised his hand, and countless vines flew out towards Shi Ze.
Ishizawa immediately used his Steel Release technique.
However, Zetsu's Wood Release skills were beyond question, and he directly bound Ishizawa tightly.
"Who goes there!? Ah!!" Ishizawa's two teammates were also entangled by Wood Release.
But they didn't have Steel Release, and were directly pierced by Wood Release, falling to the ground screaming in agony.
Ishizawa struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from the vines: "I recognize your clothes! You're from Akatsuki!"
"Ah! Uh... Uh..." Shi Ze said before his mouth was covered by vines.
Jue then brazenly took Shi Ze and left.
Only two dying rock hermits remained at the scene.
One of them laboriously pulled out a signal flare from his waist and fired it into the sky.
Then, he dipped his finger in the blood and quickly wrote numbers on his clothes.
Because of blood loss, his vision grew increasingly dark, but he managed to write the last number by sheer willpower.
Then, Iwagakure's consciousness completely sank into darkness.
Several tens of minutes later, two teams of Iwagakure members hurriedly arrived to search.
"Quick! It's nearby!"
"We've spotted the captain! He's from Ishizawa's squad!"
Following the sound, everyone arrived at the place where Shi Ze had just been taken away.
"Captain, Da Mo left a password!"
Captain Iwagakure took out a small notebook and immediately found the password for the Ishizawa squad.
Upon comparison, the information above became clear.
"Ishizawa has been captured. The Akatsuki attacked them, and this person knows Wood Release."
……
Rain-Hidden Village.
Jiraiya, having traveled a long way, has arrived here once again.
This time, however, he didn't wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, unlike before.
Instead, he went directly to Kakuzu's office.
"Oh my, isn't this Jiraiya, the Toad Sage?"
Knowing that the other party was there to deliver money, Kakuzu was all smiles.
Jiraiya's face twitched, and he looked at Kakuzu in disbelief.
How could Kakuzu, who kills without hesitation, be like this?
But Jiraiya didn't delve into it further, and instead spoke directly:
"I'm here to discuss business with your Akatsuki organization."
Kakuzu smiled and said, "I know, I know, it's about what Master Zenku mentioned last time, isn't it?"
He held up the number "9" with his hand, which means nine-tailed fox.
Jiraiya nodded: "Yes, that's the matter."
Kakuzu responded, "I need Konan to talk to you about this."
"However, she is not in the village. You will have to stay in the village for a few days."
Jiraiya spent most of his time idly wandering around.
Now that I can see Xiao Nan, I don't care about the time it takes.
“Okay, no problem, I’ll wait for her here.”
