Jiraiya Was Still Very Shrewd

Jiraiya's expression was extremely serious, and he was also very conflicted.

The legend of the Sage of Six Paths has been circulating in the Shinobi World for centuries, and even today, many believe that he is merely a legend. Over time, the story of the Sage of Six Paths of Sage of Six Paths has been exaggerated and gradually evolved into mythology.

However, Jiraiya, who had been to Mount Myōboku, knew that all of this was true.

The ideas and systems that the Sage of Six Paths originally established when he founded the Ninshu have gradually faded from public memory, but the Ninshu has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the Shinobi World today.

Jiraiya's understanding of the history of the Shinobi World was limited to the ninja village period and the former Warring States period.

Moreover, many historical truths from the Warring States period were concealed by the ninjas of that time due to the 'ninja secrecy system'.

But the hatred between ninjas was real, and they fought each other for countless years because of it.

If all of this stems from the Sage of Six Paths, then understanding the true history of the Shinobi World becomes essential.

Jiraiya's years of experience as a ninja told Jiraiya that he had fallen into a huge conspiracy.

This intuition didn't come out of nowhere.

Although there were no signs of human intervention in this experience, it all seemed too coincidental.

Jiraiya carried out nearly two thousand missions throughout his life, witnessed all sorts of conspiracies and schemes, and experienced countless people and events during his travels around the world after leaving Konoha.

If an event is too coincidental, and everything is made to appear perfect, then it is very likely that the event was orchestrated.

Over time, a cave naturally formed at the site of Indra's fall. Naruto stumbled upon it, and Hinata, Naruto, Jiraiya witnessed a piece of ancient history—a very important one at that.

All of these experiences told Jiraiya that someone was plotting a huge conspiracy that might overturn the Shinobi World.

Jiraiya, Naruto, Hinata have all been targeted by the other side and have become their intended targets.

After calm analysis, Jiraiya made two judgments.

If all of this is just a coincidence, then the hatred in the Shinobi World originated from the Ninshu founded by the Sage of Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Sage of Six Paths' mother, enemies from outside the Shinobi World —these are all mysteries that must be solved.

But if all of this was man-made, then this person's purpose is also very clear: he wants to target the Sage of Six Paths.

The opposing camp to the Sage of Six Paths of Sage of Six Paths consisted of his mother and Sage of Six Paths son, Indra.

Based on Indra's words, this person's conspiracy is becoming increasingly clear.

The Nine Tailed Beasts originated from the Ten-Tails, and the organization in the Shinobi World currently seeking to collect Tailed Beasts is the Akatsuki.

Jiraiya shared his analysis, Hinata was secretly shocked. This seemingly idiotic old lecher was actually so shrewd!

Hinata speculated on Black Zetsu's plan.

Black Zetsu's arrangement in the cave was designed to lure Jiraiya into continuing his investigation.

The legend of the Sage of Six Paths in the Shinobi World has always been positive, and the prejudice of Konoha Ninja against the Uchiha has a long history.

Indra possesses a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, the Konoha Ninja would naturally not have any goodwill towards Indra, let alone believe Indra words.

Therefore, if you want Jiraiya to believe all of this, you must provide solid evidence, not just some fragments of the Genjutsu.

Hinata and Black Zetsu's true purpose was to whitewash Kaguya Otsutsuki. As long as Kaguya Otsutsuki's sins were reduced in history, everything else, whether good or evil, would be irrelevant.

The Ninshu has been developing for a thousand years. In such a long time, everything is possible to change.

The descendants of Indra became evil, while the descendants of Asura became righteous.

However, for Jiraiya, all of this was just history; Jiraiya wanted to create was a peaceful future.

Therefore, the good or evil of history is irrelevant; what matters is how we choose in the future.

Black Zetsu's continued pursuit of Jiraiya may have been an attempt to offer a glimmer of light amidst the millennia of darkness in the Shinobi World.

And this light is Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Because the method to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki cannot be completely cleansed, Black Zetsu can only whitewash Kaguya Otsutsuki in the history of a thousand years ago.

As for the thousand-year-old hatred and slaughter in the Shinobi World, and the twisted system of the Ninshu, all of this can be attributed to the Sage of Sage of Six Paths and his two sons.

Even the Fourth Shinobi World War was orchestrated by Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha wanted to become the next Sage of Six Paths, not the next Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Having figured all this out, Hinata stopped trying to whitewash or smear anyone. Instead, she followed Jiraiya's lead and said, "The Pervy Sage is right, but what is the Akatsuki's purpose in doing all this?"

"Their target is the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. Could it be that they want Naruto to understand all this so that he will hand over the Nine-Tails?"

"That's too naive!"

Naruto was somewhat confused and needed Jiraiya to explain it to him in detail before he could understand.

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "In any case, regardless of whether Akatsuki was behind this or not, I will keep an eye on Akatsuki and investigate the truth of history!"

Hinata said seriously, "I will investigate as well! After we get back, I will ask the Lord Hokage to check the records of Konoha."

"Perhaps some records remain among the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga clans!"

Jiraiya nodded slightly and analyzed, "In the previous Genjutsu, the conflict between Indra and the Sage of Six Paths stemmed from the Sage of Six Paths' mother."

"This person might be the key!"

Hinata looked at Jiraiya and asked curiously, "Pervy Sage, what are you thinking about?"

Jiraiya speculated, "From what we can see now, the establishment of the Ninshu has indeed filled the ninjas with hatred... but we cannot yet determine whether the root of this hatred is the Sage of Six Paths or something else!"

Hinata nodded.

Jiraiya continued, "And the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' mother is the point of conflict between the Sage of Sage of Six Paths and his father, as well as the source of the Ten-Tails..."

"I need to go to Mount Myōboku to inquire about these matters!"

Hinata immediately tensed up.

Mount Myōboku undoubtedly rejects Kaguya Otsutsuki, and in Hinata's view, the point of conflict between the Three Great Sage Regions and Kaguya Otsutsuki is the energy source called 'Natural Energy'.

Perhaps the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku did indeed want to save the world.

However, from Hinata's perspective, if Hinata wants to plant trees throughout the universe with Kaguya Otsutsuki, she must resist Mount Myōboku.

To be honest, after learning about Urashiki's power, Hinata has started to look down on Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

Hinata knew nothing about the star map of the universe, could not travel the world, and did not know how to plant the God Tree.

Hinata wouldn't be able to do anything without someone guiding her.

Entering space rashly would most likely result in getting lost in the vast expanse of space.

Thinking of this, Hinata hurriedly said, "Pervy Sage, go to Mount Myōboku now and ask him for advice, so I can report to the Lord Hokage as well!"
