"Uchiha Itachi, it's better to be famous than to meet. I didn't expect you to be such a young boy!"
Konoha, on the roof of a high-rise building, the person who asked Madara Uchiha to meet said hello to Madara.
Waiting here is Ninja, who has white hair, a red mark on his face, and Forehead Protector with Oil on his forehead. He is wearing a red vest and looks to be about forty or fifty years old.
This person is Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin and Orochimaru, Tsunade.
At the end of Madara's previous life, Madara saw the strength of Tsunade and the level of Forbidden Technique of Orochimaru, but he had not seen Jiraiya. Now Madara is also very curious about the level of Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, what do you have to say to me? As the third generation Hokage's Disciple, shouldn't you have a few words with your mentor first when you return to the village?"
Madara is also very puzzled as to why Jiraiya, who has no interaction with him in his past life or this life, would communicate with himself first after returning to Konoha.
"You brat, your father always calls me "sir" when he sees me. I will let you go because you are young and ignorant. As an apology, please give me Naruto Uzumaki."
As soon as they met, Jiraiya immediately revealed the true purpose of his trip. He returned to the village this time to teach Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki and to inform the village of some information he had obtained outside.
"I refuse."
Madara looked at Jiraiya as if he was crazy. If it weren't for the fact that he was at Konoha and it was inconvenient to do anything, Madara's Shuriken would have been launched after Jiraiya finished speaking.
"Today's young people really don't know how to respect their seniors."
Madara would refuse his request, which was actually expected by Jiraiya.
After all, how could such a seventeen-year-old boy know how powerful he is? As long as he shows his skills a little to deal with such a ignorant young man, he will understand how stupid it is to reject him.
[To do it yourself would be a bit bullying, so let my Toad play with him.]
While talking, Jiraiya finished Hand Seals. As a puff of smoke rose, a Toad that was twice the size of a human appeared under Jiraiya. Just when Toad under him was about to attack Madara, a monstrous murderous aura and Chakra's aura swept towards Jiraiya and this Toad.
"Are you sure you want to fight with me, Jiraiya."
Under Madara's shock, Toad under Jiraiya didn't even dare to move. At the same time, Jiraiya was also broken into cold sweat.
Just as Madara unleashed his murderous intent, secretly the ANBU ninjas who had been monitoring Jiraiya since he entered the village also aimed their kunai at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya has no doubt that once he takes action against Madara, he will instantly become the target of Konoha ANBU and Madara's fire.
Not to mention that Madara's strength has exceeded Jiraiya's original estimate. Just the swarming of these ANBU secretly is enough for Jiraiya to drink a pot.
"Bang!"
"Misunderstanding, hahahaha, it's all a misunderstanding!"
In just one confrontation, Jiraiya understood his current situation.
This man Uchiha Itachi is by no means just a Jōnin in Konoha. To be an enemy of him in Konoha is to be an enemy to the entire Konoha, even if he is Sannin of Konoha.
[It seems that the rumor that Third Hokage is going to hand over Konoha to Itachi is not groundless.]
Jiraiya, who has been working outside for many years, has always been flexible and adaptable. After discovering that he couldn't deal with spots with force, he immediately changed his face.
"Itachi, I heard that Naruto has been raised in your home since he was a child. He is like a younger brother to you. To be honest, the main purpose of teaching Naruto is to protect him, because I have I have obtained some information. There is a dangerous and mysterious organization outside that may threaten Naruto. If Naruto is left in the village, it may not be a good choice for the village and Naruto!"
Jiraiya first put away his Toad and then approached Madara to whisper to him, but Madara must have stretched out his hand to signal Jiraiya to just stay away and talk.
Seeing Madara resisting him, Jiraiya could only half-sentence to express his position of protecting Naruto.
"The less people know about this secret organization, the better. How about you withdraw these ANBU first, and the two of us can have a detailed chat?"
"The mysterious organization you are talking about is Akatsuki. They want to capture Tailed Beast. Nine-Tails inside Naruto is in their plan, right?"
Different from Jiraiya's single-person investigation of intelligence, Madara has strengthened cooperation with Shinhiko Kōzuki after taking over Konoha's intelligence system. Now, not only Ninja Village, but also all major Capital have Madara's intelligence spies.
Although Akatsuki's behavior is secretive, there are always clues. Compared with a complete intelligence system in which Ninja cooperates with civilians, the effect of Jiraiya's alone is a bit ridiculous.
Now Madara is not only aware of the existence of Akatsuki, he is even aware of Akatsuki's behavior in his personal office last week when he took on Iwagakure's mission to deal with Kumogakure.
After being shocked by Madara's strength and power, Jiraiya was once again shocked by Madara's intelligence.
"Hahaha, that's it. How do you know everything? If that's the case, can you hand over Naruto to me?"
Seeing the top-secret information he had detected being casually mentioned by others, Jiraiya also burst into a rare awkward laugh.
"By the way, Fourth Hokage, you know, he is my disciple, and my teaching level is very strong! Naruto is Fourth Hokage's child, and I will not frame him."
At this point, Jiraiya has given up all contempt for Madara, to the point where he can no longer see through the young man in front of him.
Jiraiya, who lacked confidence, brought out the late Fourth Hokage to prove his level.
Madara looked Jiraiya up and down.
At the moment, Madara spends most of his energy on cultivating his power. The teaching route of the Uchiha Clan is indeed not suitable for Naruto. If someone of Sannin level can be Naruto's teacher, it will naturally be great for Naruto's growth, but this Jiraiya in front of him always gives Madara an unreliable feeling.
"I can let you be Naruto's teacher, but first you need to prove to me what you can teach him."
Jiraiya, who has lived for most of his life, never dreamed that one day he would have to prove his ability to other "parents" before he wanted to teach other people's children.
You must know that others have always asked you to teach them!
Jiraiya looked at Madara, who had an impatient face. He had no doubt that the brat in front of him would turn around and leave if he didn't show some real skills.
"Alas."
With a deep sigh, Jiraiya accepted his fate and pulled out a Scroll.
