The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 398 Surrender

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Jiraiya, looking exhausted, has only just returned.

After being sent to the Land of Demons, he rushed to the Daimyo's residence.

He only found out when he arrived in Daming Prefecture.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead.

Even everyone he brought with him was wiped out by Payne in a single move.

Mitomon, Utatane, Shimura, and all the Anbu were killed without exception.

He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Although the old man was wrong, it didn't warrant killing so many people.

After staying in the Daimyo's mansion for a while, he discovered that Asuma and Konohamaru had been taken away before he came to Konoha.

Jiraiya was filled with mixed feelings; he wanted to return to Tsunade and get some answers.

But he forgot his current identity.

"Whoosh!" Konoha's gatekeeper, Kotetsu, immediately fired a warning flare into the sky.

Jiraiya came from the main road, which was lined with various caravans on one half of the way.

Therefore, the defensive and surveillance forces are all located at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Jiraiya was not discovered beforehand.

As figures flashed, the Hyuga clan members jumped out and surrounded Jiraiya.

The leader here is Hyuga Hitomi.

As one of the older ninjas in the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hitomi is a rather composed person.

Upon seeing that it was Jiraiya, he immediately exclaimed, "Rogue ninja Jiraiya! You dare to come to Konoha to seek death!?"

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. Only now did he realize that he had already been declared a rogue ninja of Konoha by Chiyo.

He wasn't incapable of defeating the Hyuga clan members in front of him, but if he dared to make a move, more would follow.

Jiraiya took two steps back: "I want to see Tsunade!"

Hyuga Hitomi sneered: "Do you think you can just see Lady Tsunade whenever you want?"

"Those who followed Hiruzen Sarutobi will never return to the village!"

Jiraiya's face turned pale and then red; he desperately wanted to break through.

But he knew he couldn't do it.

The current Hokage is Senyo; I might really die here.

"Could you do me a favor and pass on this message?"

From Hyuga Hitomi's perspective, Jiraiya had caused the Hokage quite a bit of trouble in the past.

If it weren't for his past relationship with Tsunade and his contributions as a Konoha ninja in the Ninja Wars, Hyuga Hitomi would have made his move long ago.

"Jiraiya, you are too strong. If you want to see Lady Tsunade, you will have to surrender!"

Hyuga Hitomi wasn't deliberately making things difficult for Jiraiya; rather, it was because Jiraiya's stance was unclear.

If someone this strong isn't given any restrictions, it will be his responsibility if something goes wrong.

Jiraiya had no choice but to clasp his hands together and raise them.

This means I'm surrendering myself; you can come and tie me up.

Hinata Hitomi gave a wink to the guard next to her.

The guards hurriedly went to get ropes and chains.

Hinata Hitomi carefully approached Jiraiya and suddenly tapped him a few times.

Jiraiya immediately felt that his chakra was blocked in three acupoints.

Jiraiya forcibly suppressed the urge to retaliate, keeping his hands upright.

Hyuga Hitomi nodded slightly, then spread her hands, and countless fist shadows flew towards Jiraiya.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Jiraiya only felt a slight pain, but his chakra felt like it was wrapped in layers of tape and couldn't flow at all.

Being bound so tightly, even Jiraiya couldn't break free.

At this point, Hyuga Hitomi felt a little more at ease. He took the rope handed to him by his colleague and tied Jiraiya up tightly.

Their feet were tied together as well.

Jiraiya was somewhat speechless: "You don't need to tie my legs anymore, I can't walk."

Hyuga Hitomi sneered and did not answer Jiraiya.

Instead, they carefully tightened the rope.

Then they wrapped it with an iron chain again.

Jiraiya was on the verge of tears: "There's no need to tie it so tightly. No one can move under these conditions."

Hyuga Hitomi remained unmoved, stuffed two walnuts into Jiraiya's mouth, and then taped them shut.

Jiraiya was in great pain, making whimpering noises.

Under these circumstances, Hinata Hitomi nodded in satisfaction: "Take him away!"

Three people immediately came over, and two of them lifted Jiraiya up.

The third person took a thin wire and stuck it directly around Jiraiya's neck.

If Jiraiya made even the slightest unusual move, he would be strangled to death.

……

Orochimaru's laboratory.

Tsunade is observing the decaying Rinnegan.

"So this is the Rinnegan." Tsunade looked at the thing with a particularly curious expression.

After all, it was the Rinnegan that revived Dan Kato.

However, these Rinnegan eyes had been tampered with. Although it's a bit of a pity, destroying something that can't be used by oneself is the best option.

After all, things with hidden dangers can turn against you at any time.

Orochimaru took some flesh tissue from it and put it into the machine next to him.

"Although this eyeball is now useless, the genetic composition of the Rinnegan can provide us with great inspiration."

"Although we cannot remove the cellular will within it now, we can turn it into a dead thing."

After listening, Tsunade seemed to be deep in thought. She herself was a top-notch medical ninja and had a great understanding of biological science.

Orochimaru's experiments have progressed much faster during this period.

"Are you trying to perform cell fusion to bring someone back to life?"

"Um……"

At that moment, the light next to Orochimaru turned on.

Orochimaru picked up the phone on the wall, listened for a moment, and then hung up immediately.

"Jiraiya has come looking for you."

Tsunade rolled the whites of her eyes, looking somewhat impatient.

But then I thought back to how we fought side by side many years ago, and we have some friendship with each other.

"Let that old geezer explain it to Jiraiya himself."

Tsunade's words were completely unfounded.

But Orochimaru understood: "There are plenty of sacrifices, bring Jiraiya down with you."

……

The Hyuga clan has already sent Jiraiya to Konoha Hospital.

Jiraiya still has many acquaintances in Konoha.

But this was the first time anyone had seen him like this.

Not only was he bound tightly from head to toe, but he also had two walnuts stuffed in his mouth.

Lifting it up was like lifting a fat pig.

"Lady Tsunade, the person is here." Hyuga Hitomi bowed to Tsunade.

When Tsunade saw Jiraiya tied up like this, she burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

Seeing Tsunade's smile, Hyuga Hitomi knew that Jiraiya had been tied up correctly.

Although the other party was a teammate, Tsunade was clearly happy that Jiraiya made a fool of himself.

When Jiraiya saw Tsunade arrive, he immediately made "Ugh ugh ugh..." sounds.

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

Tsunade stood next to Jiraiya and laughed for a long time before tearing the tape off Jiraiya's mouth.

"Pfft!" Jiraiya awkwardly spat out the walnut.

"Stop laughing, Tsunade, let go of me now."

Tsunade's smile slowly faded, and she shook her head slightly: "I will not untie the rogue ninja."
