Although Pain the Wanderer quickly concealed the unnatural look on his face, Naruto still noticed that something was wrong.
When Jiraiya, he visibly paused, Naruto Pain the Wanderer to speculate about his identity. It was either Nagato or Yahiko, or perhaps he had seen Jiraiya in this world before. After all, in this Wanderer World, who could guarantee that someone from the Shinobi World world wouldn't appear here?
When faced with a difficult question, he falls silent again.
Because of the name Jiraiya, the initially lively group fell silent, the initial laughter and chatter gone, as everyone was busy with their own things.
Naruto got the result he wanted and was already recalling and speculating about what would happen next in the Wanderer World. After all, this was not the Hokage world he knew, but another world constructed by a Rubik's Cube.
As for Pain the Wanderer, he was now extremely flustered. Even if he was stupid, he knew that he had just been tricked into revealing information, and he had a vague sense of impending doom. However, he didn't know how to bring it up, since Kakashi in front of him had actually managed to utter the name that he had buried deep in his heart.
He's clearly not from this world, so how does he know this name? Does he have mind-reading abilities?
Thinking of this, Pain the Wanderer felt a tightness in his chest. He glanced at the two of them and, finding that neither of them was looking at him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he believed everything he saw, people's hearts could not withstand the test. Even though Naruto and Sasuko had always shown goodwill, Pain the Wanderer's heart was still hanging in suspense.
Meanwhile, Sasuko was completely unaware that something was wrong. He thought that neither of them wanted to speak, but considering that he was currently dressed as a woman and couldn't just speak, otherwise it might not fit his character, so he could only swallow his words.
And so, the three-person team fell silent.
Whoever you meet is someone destined to be in your life; it is not by chance, but by fate and cause and effect.
Just like the three people present, who had just fallen silent because of a name, were all stunned when the person in front of them appeared. Naruto and Sasuke, in particular, were filled with shock, because they both knew this person very well.
The newcomer was wearing an extremely exaggerated conical hat, but even such a huge, exaggerated, and even somewhat abstract hat could not hide his ridiculously thick white hair. Under the hat was a face that was extremely familiar to the three people present, especially the red paint patterns on his face, which were particularly memorable.
The newcomer naturally noticed the unusual group of three.
Both sides were observing each other, especially Naruto and Sasuke, who were scrutinizing the person in front of them with strange looks. It was like attending an important event, listening to someone giving a passionate speech on stage. You were initially listless, but when you looked up, you found that the person giving the passionate speech was actually your best friend. Seeing your best friend putting on a serious act, and at that moment, you two made eye contact, wanting to laugh but not daring to. That was the immediate feeling Naruto and Sasuke had at that moment.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Pain the Wanderer's expression became noticeably agitated. He opened his mouth, but for some unknown reason, only his lips moved without uttering a sound.
The newcomer took in the reactions of the three, and naturally noticed the expressions on Naruto and Sasuke's faces, recognizing them as well.
"Why are you so silent when you see me?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this guy still retained his memories from the Shinobi World. But the problem was, wasn't that guy from the Shinobi World still alive and well? Could it be that while he and Sasuke were gone, this guy was killed?
That's impossible! Could it be from another timeline?
After a brainstorming session, Naruto could only come to this guess.
Having figured things out, Naruto finally spoke, but his words were full of offensive power.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Did someone kill you? I told you not to spy on people, and now look what happened, you got killed, huh?"
That's right, the guy who appeared in front of the three of them was none other than the lecherous old man nicknamed "White-haired Lolita, "Jiraiya.
However, this one is Jiraiya the Wanderer in Wanderer World.
Jiraiya the Wanderer originally came to find Pain the Wanderer, since Pain had already told him about the next plan, but he didn't expect to run into Naruto and Sasuke.
Originally, Jiraiya the Wanderer was somewhat saddened by his wandering life, since everyone who came to this world had already died in the Shinobi World. He never expected these two little ones to come here too. "Sigh, I'm sorry, Minato, I couldn't even protect your children..."
The melancholy Jiraiya the Wanderer hadn't even had a chance to voice his bitterness when he heard Naruto's revelation. The bitter expression on his face vanished instantly; all he wanted to do now was cover Naruto's mouth. If he let Naruto continue, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.
"Hey, you brat, shut up! I've already told you, it was all for art, all for the sake of art! And I've told you so many times, it wasn't peeping, it was gathering material, gathering material, understand?"
Seeing that Naruto was about to say something, Jiraiya the Wanderer, reacted quickly and successfully covered Naruto's mouth.
"What kind of dedication to art is this? This is clearly... umm..."
Jiraiya the Wanderer, whispered in Naruto's ear:
"Hey kid, give me some face, don't force me to beg you in front of so many people."
Listening to Jiraiya the Wanderer's strong yet cowardly words, Naruto was now 100% certain that this guy definitely had memories from his time in the Shinobi World.
He could only give the Jiraiya the Wanderer a reassuring look, indicating that he wouldn't say anything reckless from now on.
Seeing this, Jiraiya the Wanderer released his hand from Naruto's mouth, but just as Jiraiya the Wanderer breathed a sigh of relief, Naruto's words came out like a machine gun.
"What kind of dedication to art is this? It's clearly just an excuse for your voyeuristic behavior."
After Naruto finished speaking, he flashed behind the Pain the Wanderer, peeking out with his head and looking at the Jiraiya the Wanderer provocatively.
"There's nothing we can do. Reputation has its good and bad sides. The past is the past, and the present is the present."
Jiraiya the Wanderer:...
After a long silence, Jiraiya the Wanderer wandering, finally spoke up and asked Naruto and Sasuke.
"So how did you two end up here? Were you killed too?"
Naruto and Sasuke:????
