Jiraiya's feelings were like a string that was stretched to the limit. It was suddenly played by Itachi's words and then withdrawn.
He wants to believe it!
I believe that my teacher is innocent, and that damn Uchiha Yongye is the evil thief who killed Danzo Clan.
But his reason was still online, and he stared at Uchiha Itachi and continued to ask questions.
"You used to be afraid that Yongye would threaten you with your brother, but you're not afraid anymore?"
"He just defeated the owner of Rinnegan and saved Konoha. He is even more powerful than before!"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes did not give in, and he did not dodge with a guilty conscience.
He nodded, but did not speak or explain.
Jiraiya stared at him, frowned, and was about to mock, when the air in the ward suddenly bulged.
With a bang, a cloud of white smoke exploded in the open space at the end of the hospital bed.
The smoke dissipated, and a palm-sized Toad squatted on the floor. Its back was dark brown, its belly glowed with a light beige color, and its two eyes protruded, and its pupils shone with a dark golden luster in the twilight.
Jiraiya's body bounced. His upper body lifted up from the bed, his elbows pressed on the mattress, and his movements were a little faster than before, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
"Sage Fukasaku, why are you here?"
Sage Fukasaku raised his chin and his beard swayed slightly in the air. He stretched out his front paws and wiped it on his face.
"Great Toad Sage, spying on the changes of Fate."
"I was ordered to come to Konoha and take two sons of Fate to practice at Mount Myōboku."
"They shoulder the great mission of saving the world and cannot have the slightest problem."
Jiraiya's eyes moved away from Sage Fukasaku's face and then back again. His lips moved.
"Fate's son...Uchiha Itachi's younger brother?"
Sage Fukasaku nodded, raising his chin a finger smaller than before.
"And Minato Namikaze's son, Naruto Uzumaki."
Jiraiya's pupils shrank for a moment, then slowly returned to their original size.
The name Minato Namikaze flashed in his mind. He thought of the blond disciple and the shining moment when the disciple stood under Hokage Rock. The hat dragged a long shadow in the sun, and then the screen went out.
There is only one orphan left.
Jiraiya put his hand on the mattress and leaned forward half an inch. His back changed from arched to slightly straightened, with expectation on his face.
"Great Toad Sage, do you have any other instructions?"
"It has always been my mission to guide Savior!"
Sage Fukasaku's eyes narrowed.
"Kill Uchiha Yongye, he is the source of all evil!"
"He will harm all living beings, causing them to be devastated and blood to flow like rivers!"
"Great Toad Sage said that killing him is more important than guiding Savior."
Jiraiya's eyes moved away from Sage Fukasaku's face and fell between his legs.
Originally, he had a complete set of operating systems, but now, there is only one zero left!
Jiraiya's fingers clenched tightly on the bed sheet, his knuckles bulging. He twisted the white fabric into a bunch of wrinkles and then loosened it.
"Very well, I'm just trying to get revenge."
"That brat is such a bastard!"
He paused, his voice lowered, and he looked hesitant.
"However, Konoha suffered heavy losses, and now we need that brat to help intimidate other ninja villages."
"I think what Tsunade means is to compromise with him and get through the current difficulty first."
"Otherwise, I would have fought him tooth and nail!"
In the villa space, Yongye is discussing business with Tsunade.
The two of them were at loggerheads, arguing with each other, refusing to give in, going back and forth...
While we were having an inextricable conversation, Yongye Mindscape, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding--Jiraiya struggled to accept the fact that he became an eunuch, and he had to hold back for a while without being able to take revenge, and finally broke through the defense. The reward is Super Blind Box×1. Do you want to open it immediately?]
Yongye's mouth curled up.
"Turn on."
[Ding--Super Blind Box has been opened. Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Storm Riders world Sword Twenty-Three.]
The next moment, Yongye's Mindscape sank suddenly.
A force sharper than any previous reward surged up from the depths of his consciousness, as if an invisible knife made a gash from the inside of his skull.
He saw countless sharp swords.
They arranged and evolved in the void, from the Isshiki to the 22nd style, each Isshiki was performed before his eyes.
Those moves were so fast that there were only afterimages left, from sword-breaking to sword-swinging, from chopping to picking, from diagonal slash to horizontal slash, each Isshiki carried a set of strict offensive and defensive logic, like a general outline of martial arts carved into the air.
Then, the twenty-third pose came.
Time and space froze for a moment in his perception. It was not slow play, not a pause, but completely still.
At that moment, he could clearly see the location of every speck of dust on the ceiling, and he could count how many tiny cyclones were on the edge of the white mist that the silver pillar in the corner was spitting out.
Then the moment passed and the world returned to normal.
Yongye glanced at Tsunade, who was unaware, and raised the corners of his mouth a little higher.
The 22nd style Swordsmanship gives him an additional fighting method that can be used at any time, but the 23rd style is the real good thing.
Time and space stand still, even for just a moment, which is enough to do a lot of things!
Tsunade placed his hands on the dining room table, and the strands of hair on his forehead were stuck to his skin with sweat.
The wall clock sways like the torrent of time, unstoppable.
Her breathing was rapid and shallow, and her face was flushed.
In this business negotiation, the harsh conditions proposed by Yongye were far more extreme than she expected.
She protested for the nth time.
"You're going too far. I don't want it anymore!"
Yongye sneered, his eyes swept from her face to her shoulders, and then to her fingers tightly grasping the edge of the table.
"You don't want it? You don't have the right to want it."
"Lord Hokage, you are my servant now."
"Dignified Hokage, how can you not keep your word?"
Tsunade's lips pursed into a line. Her teeth clenched and then unclenched, her face full of tangles.
She wanted to get angry and fall out!
But now that he has fallen out, everything he did before will be in vain!
She lifted her fingers from the edge of the table, hung them in the air to relax, then immediately dropped them again, trying to hold on tight!
The two continued to talk about business, and the topic turned to investing in shares.
Yongye's conditions became more and more detailed and specific. As Tsunade listened, the expression on his face changed from clenched teeth to a slightly reddish silence, and from a reddish silence to a tightly pursed mouth with slightly downward corners.
Finally, she nodded. The movement was very slow, as if every vertebra in her neck was making its final struggle.
[Ding--Tsunade, for the development of Konoha, endured humiliation, severely broke the defense, and obtained Advanced Blind Box×1. Do you want to open it immediately?]
Yongye's lips curled up again.
"Turn on."
