"This..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked embarrassed.
He didn't expect that Jiraiya would see through his little scheme so quickly, nor did he expect that Jiraiya would be so disrespectful to him.
No one wanted to pretend to be confused.
" Jiraiya, I can't let Biwako down..."
"That's not what you said when you were peeping into the Women's Bathhouse with the Crystal Ball."
Jiraiya interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi's sophistry with a look of disdain.
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became even more awkward as he frantically racked his brains for a way to continue making excuses.
He actually came up with an idea.
" Jiraiya, we need to stop Madara Uchiha's plot without alerting him. We need to break them up with a legitimate reason."
So, what's the reason behind the separation of Yin and Yang, and the separation of life and death?
One was alive, the other was dead; they were not on the same path at all.
Madara Uchiha only wanted emotional connection, but Grandma Chiyo couldn't do that!
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty like a tiger, fifty like rare earth, sixty like myriad phenomena, seventy Chibaku Tensei...
Didn't Grandma Chiyo have a rumored affair with Kakashi a while ago, saying she wanted Kakashi to give her back one of his sons?
We'll use that as a reason to stop Madara!
With a righteous and indignant expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a slight sigh of relief after saying all this, marveling at his own quick wit in coming up with such a good reason on the spot.
Then he added, "Since our goal is to stop Madara and Chiyo from having a love affair that transcends life and death, we must set an example. As someone who is already dead, I naturally cannot try to seduce Chiyo."
"Besides, Jiraiya, you should also know that the Impure World Reincarnation is no big deal now. I also want Orochimaru, that traitor, to be Reanimation from Biwako so he can enjoy life."
By the way, let me explain normal pairing to everyone and set an example: living people should be with living people, and dead people should only be with dead people.
I can't betray Biwako at this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi appealed to Jiraiya's emotions and reason, Jiraiya speechless for a moment.
But he was unwilling to let Jiraiya give up so easily.
Why should he be the only one trying to seduce the old woman?
"Old man, how about this, we'll take turns operating in the open and in the shadows."
You are in the shadows, impersonating Danzo, who has been Impure World Reincarnation Danzo.
"I might be constrained in doing things openly, which is when you can step out and use some unconventional methods."
Jiraiya made a suggestion.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Not many people know about Danzo's death, and nobody knows that he didn't actually leave behind any cells. Impersonating him isn't a problem, but..."
"Old man, if you keep making excuses, believe me, I'll just commit suicide and then have Impure World Reincarnation using Orochimaru. At worst, I'll become a dead man too, and then we'll see who goes first!"
Jiraiya's face was full of dissatisfaction.
He's already conceded so much, yet the Third Hokage still wants to refuse.
"All right."
Left with no other choice, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to agree.
On second thought, since it's all in Danzo's image anyway, as long as I'm careful not to be discovered as myself, it's Danzo.
Did Danzo have a reputation?
Therefore, it is not a problem.
After agreeing, Hiruzen Sarutobi used a Transformation Jutsu to transform into Danzo's appearance.
As one of the duo known as "Danzo's Shadow, You'll Regret It," the Third Hokage perfectly captured Danzo's expressions and posture.
"Alright! Old man, let's go! Hehe, we'll show Grandma Chiyo what the 'Root of Darkness' really is."
Jiraiya spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The way he's putting it, it sounds like he's the one in the "dark" who's the vanguard.
But we can't worry about that now, we have to leave quickly, otherwise problems might arise.
Hiruzen Sarutobi created another Shadow Clone Jutsu to inform the Second Hokage.
Immediately afterwards, the two found the Flying Thunder Array group of four and headed to Sunagakure.
Kazekage Building.
Where is Grandma Chiyo?
Gaara Jiraiya and asked about Grandma Chiyo's location.
Then he turned and left.
The Third Hokage, disguised as Danzo and hiding in the shadows outside, caught up with Jiraiya.
at the same time.
Iwagakure.
An enraged Rōshi came knocking on the door.
Rōshi is a passionate person with a fiery temper; he wears his heart on his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the village after arguing with Ōnoki.
So after learning that his image had been so tarnished, he immediately went to confront them.
Kurotsuchi immediately shifted the blame, claiming he was unaware of the situation.
She also indicated that she is now the Tsuchikage, not her grandfather Ōnoki.
If Rōshi chooses to return to Iwagakure, she can grant Rōshi a status and position.
It can also help Rōshi get revenge on Ōnoki.
Yes, that's right.
According to Kurotsuchi, it was Ōnoki who sold the image of Rōshi to unscrupulous GG merchants.
Rōshi was surprised and curious that Kurotsuchi, as Ōnoki's granddaughter, would help him.
At the same time, there are naturally some doubts.
Then Kurotsuchi told Rōshi about Ōnoki's trip to Sunagakure to pursue Grandma Chiyo and his Twilight Love.
Rōshi didn't believe it at all after hearing it.
In his mind, Ōnoki was not like that at all.
"Senior Rōshi, my grandfather is already halfway to the grave, and he has already relinquished his position as Tsuchikage. Now he is thinking about making up for the regrets of the Past."
This is certainly not Grandpa's usual style, but is selling your image, Rōshi, to GG merchants really Grandpa's way of doing things? Yet he still did it, didn't he?
Grandpa, in order to fill the void in his heart and make up for his regrets, has started to let himself go a bit.
"Senior Rōshi, let me teach you. I understand your anger right now. Your image has been ruined by Grandpa."
But from another perspective, this is actually a good thing.
Senior Rōshi, please don't rush, let me finish.
You've become the spokesperson for this product, and your image in the Shinobi World has now transformed into that of a powerful man, giving you a natural advantage in this regard.
Didn't my grandfather consider White Moonlight as his Grandma Chiyo love, his one and only love?
Senior Rōshi, you used your mighty strength to steal my love away, causing my grandfather to lose his beloved and suffer unbearable pain!
How about this revenge?
Kurotsuchi became more and more excited as he spoke.
"..."
After being persuaded by Kurotsuchi, Rōshi, who was so stubborn, was finally convinced and prepared to head to Sunagakure.
Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi didn't forget the main purpose, and sent Rōshi to meet with Jinchuriki, Kazekage Gaara.
I informed Rōshi that a mysterious person intended to seize the power of the Tailed Beast, and now is the time for everyone to unite.
And so, Rōshi arrived at Sunagakure.
"Regarding the Jinchuriki, I'll discuss that with Kazekage after I've finished my business. Now, please tell me, where is Grandma Chiyo?"
The Kazekage Building welcomed yet another Rōshi, who had come to inquire about Grandma Chiyo's situation.
After Gaara pointed out the location to Rōshi, he was completely dumbfounded.
