Although Hozuki Gengetsu originally intended to investigate Madara Uchiha's conspiracy, he humbled himself and became one of Grandma Chiyo's suitors.
But this kind of thing can be done by one person.
It's not like having more people means more power.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi is willing to help, then he doesn't need to join in the fun.
Look at Hiruzen Sarutobi; in order to uncover Madara Uchiha's conspiracy, he didn't hesitate to directly kidnap people in broad daylight in Sunagakure.
Snatching people away—that's one of Raikage's specialties.
"I think it would be better to send them to Kumogakure."
Jiraiya suddenly interjected.
" Jiraiya, you?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just said he would join Jiraiya and his apprentice in defending Chiyo's camp, felt betrayed and looked at Jiraiya in astonishment.
Jiraiya ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's puzzled look.
--If Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to guard the camp for Grandma Chiyo, then he should do it himself. Why did he have to take him along?
Originally, he was willing to make some sacrifices for the safety of the Shinobi World.
Now that someone else is already taking the blame, why insist on having him go?
Spending a lot of time with an elderly woman can easily affect his physical and mental health.
If I can't write a decent novel by then, or if the novel I do write becomes distorted due to the corruption of my mind, who will be responsible?
After experiencing the Grandma Chiyo incident, he doesn't know how many times he'll have to visit the red-light district to purify his heart.
If this continues, I fear I will suffer permanent damage.
I cannot agree, absolutely not.
"What does this have to do with Kumogakure? It seems like only Kumogakure, right?"
Rōshi also expressed his doubts.
"That's because you're all too naive."
Jiraiya feigned profundity, closing his eyes and shaking his head.
If it weren't for his sausage lips, just like Kakashi's, his demeanor would be quite intimidating.
"Think about it carefully, we all know now that those of us who came here are not really in love with Grandma Chiyo."
Conversely, the person from the ninja village who didn't come was actually the true admirer of Grandma Chiyo.
"..."
"What kind of bullshit logic is that?"
After hearing Hozuki Gengetsu felt like his brain was in turmoil and couldn't help but curse out.
"Don't rush, I have more evidence. The Raikage has a technique called [ Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop ]. Everyone, take a closer look at the name of this technique."
Jiraiya waved his hand and revealed the real evidence.
"What's so cruel about lightning?"
"That's pretty big."
"Hiss..."
Everyone gasped.
The name of this technique sounds rather unorthodox.
Not only do they have illicit relationships, but they may also have some niche fetishes.
Even Grandma Chiyo, who was calmly watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this.
Squeezing Grandma's Bear, and there's even a shocking part?
She has no intention of experiencing that!
What does "level" mean?
Hozuki Gengetsu asked a question.
"Well..."
"Level, huh? Don't you even know what level means? I have to tell you that? You, as some of the strongest Shinobi World, are far too incompetent."
Honestly, if you didn't know, you should have said so earlier. If you had asked me earlier, I would have told you.
How am I supposed to know you don't know if you don't tell me? Right? Isn't that the logic?
Jiraiya kept repeating himself while racking his brains and thinking frantically, pushing his associative abilities as a novelist to the limit.
Finally, just before everyone was about to give him a good beating, Jiraiya came up with an explanation.
"[Level] actually refers to Ōnoki."
" Ōnoki?"
Rōshi was surprised, then looked at Jiraiya expectantly, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"As I just said, those who didn't come are the ones who truly admire Grandma Chiyo."
Do you guys think Ōnoki went back just now to spy on Madara Uchiha?
No!
He chose to withdraw midway because he was unwilling to use his pure love for Grandma Chiyo as a tool to counter Madara Uchiha!
He didn't want to tarnish this pure love!
Therefore, after realizing that we shared the same goal as him, Ōnoki immediately retreated.
And it's precisely because he realized that we weren't truly in love with Grandma Chiyo and wouldn't compete with him that we didn't need to worry about being taken advantage of!
"Think again about what Ōnoki's nickname is? Two Scales!"
This is a compliment from the Shinobi World to his ability to precisely balance between two extremes.
His Earth Release with lightness and heaviness, his toughness and compromise in political tactics... all these are the source of his nickname "Two Scales ".
Two Scales, that is, a balance scale.
However, the term "balance scale" is actually inaccurate.
A scale is tilted; only a level surface is truly impartial.
The meaning of Ōnoki's Two Scales is actually a balance scale in a horizontal state.
This "level" refers to Ōnoki!
"..."
After Jiraiya finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
That... sounds kind of reasonable.
"Why did the Raikage use lightning to overpower Ōnoki and Chiyo?"
Hozuki Gengetsu pressed for an answer.
"Because they have a grudge!"
This time, Jiraiya answered without hesitation.
Jiraiya now overflowing with inspiration!
He seemed to have found the source of inspiration for Kakashi's unofficial history series, " Jingman ".
So that's how those things were written!
That felt so good!
" The Third Raikage, who is now the father of the Fourth Raikage, was slowly worn down to death by Iwagakure using human lives."
Think about it, did the Third Raikage commit suicide to die in the last battle?
Or did he not even have the strength to commit suicide, leaving his last bit of power for the Iwagakure ninja?
Given the Third Raikage's strong personality, it would definitely be the latter, right?
Given this situation, after the Third Raikage collapsed from exhaustion of Chakra, would the Third Raikage Iwagakure Ninja, who had been hunting him for days and nights, really be so willing to kill him and give him a quick death?
Furthermore, given that the Iwagakure Ninja were being relentlessly slaughtered by the Third Raikage, could their mental state truly remain intact?
Clearly, these Iwagakure Ninja carried out a vile act of revenge against the Third Raikage, who was either still alive or not quite dead, but in any case, unable to move.
Although Iwagakure and Kumogakure negotiated afterwards and returned the Third Raikage's body, it was probably cleaned before being returned.
But the lingering smell on it, if you really wanted to investigate, you definitely could."
"Therefore, the Fourth Raikage, who had a blood feud with Iwagakure and Ōnoki for killing his father, secretly swore that he would take revenge on Ōnoki."
The name "[ Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop ]" is a constant reminder to the Raikage that he must achieve this revenge.
He was about to tie up Ōnoki and electrify him while dancing with Grandma Chiyo.
This is a figurative way of putting it; what it actually means is that the Raikage wanted to take away Ōnoki's beloved as revenge!
