"So, how did you get here? Are you all dead too?"
As Jiraiya the Wanderer spoke, his voice trembled with emotion. He thought of how he hadn't taken good care of Minato, and now even his child...
Just as Jiraiya was still blaming himself while Jiraiya the Wanderer, Naruto's hurtful words just kept pouring out like they were free.
"What? You're the one who's dead! Can't you speak properly?!"
Jiraiya, Jiraiya the Wanderer was still immersed in grief, lit up his eyes after hearing Naruto's words. He flashed in front of Naruto and grabbed Naruto shoulders tightly before Naruto could react, shaking him violently.
"What? You're saying you didn't die? Then how did you come into this world?"
Jiraiya the Wanderer, who was wandering around, could hardly believe his ears. He wondered if he had misheard, but seeing the look of disgust on Naruto's face as he tried to pull his hand away, he realized that Naruto wasn't joking and that what he said was true.
Naruto was utterly speechless Jiraiya the Wanderer. Had this guy's brain been damaged before he came to this world?
However, what Naruto didn't know was that the Jiraiya the Wanderer in front of him wasn't the one from his own timeline, but rather Jiraiya of Jiraiya from another timeline.
"So, you didn't die? You accidentally ended up in this world while chasing someone?"
After Naruto's explanation, Jiraiya the Wanderer realized that he had been overthinking things and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also curious that there was a passage from the Shinobi World to this world, which was truly amazing.
"So, who killed you? Weren't you told to stay in Konoha?"
The Jiraiya the Wanderer was somewhat bewildered by Naruto's question. Who killed him? You don't know? Didn't Tsunade and the others tell Naruto? Although the Jiraiya the Wanderer's face was full of doubt, he still answered Naruto's question.
"What, Tsunade didn't tell you? Oh well, they didn't tell you for your own good. Actually Amegakure, I was..."
When Jiraiya the Wanderer, got to this point, Naruto already sensed something was wrong. What was this guy talking about? What did he Tsunade not telling him? Could it be that he was really killed after he and Sasuke disappeared, when the entire Shinobi World was searching for them?
"Stop, stop, wait a minute, what did you just say? What do you mean you went to Amegakure? You went to Amegakure to find us?"
Naruto finally realized something was wrong. He grasped the key point in Jiraiya the Wanderer's words: Could it be that this guy went to Amegakure to find them, and that's where he got killed?
Jiraiya the Wanderer, was even more confused when he heard Naruto's words.
"What? You went to Amegakure to look for you? Were you in Amegakure at the time?"
Naruto sensed something was wrong. Jiraiya was still the Jiraiya; he had his memories of the Shinobi World, remembered what had happened before, and even remembered how he died. But Naruto felt something was off.
Amegakure, Jiraiya, death, etc.
As if struck by a sudden realization, Naruto's mind cleared, and he suddenly understood.
"You didn't go to Amegakure to investigate the Akatsuki and get killed, did you?"
Upon Jiraiya the Wanderer scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. Being told this by Naruto in front of so many people was a bit embarrassing, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"Seriously, if I had had some information back then, I wouldn't have ended up in such a mess. Didn't Tsunade tell you? Why did you react so strongly? Honestly..."
As for what Jiraiya the Wanderer left, Naruto completely ignored it. When he heard that he was killed while investigating information in Amegakure, Naruto already knew which part of the story this was. Jiraiya was beaten up by Six Paths of Pain without any information, so the Jiraiya not the Jiraiya they knew.
Sasuke naturally noticed Naruto's unusual expression; the change was too rapid, shifting between gloom and sunshine in an instant, which made him somewhat worried. He leaned close to Naruto's ear and whispered a question.
" Naruto, are you alright?"
Naruto shook his head to show he was fine in response to Sasuke's concern, but he couldn't tell Sasuke what had happened. After all, Sasuke in this world had no idea that Jiraiya had died in Amegakure. Explaining something that hadn't happened would be troublesome, so Naruto could only swallow his words.
Jiraiya the Wanderer, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Naruto, so he went over and touched Naruto's forehead.
"That's strange, you don't have a fever, so why do you look so pale? Naruto, are you alright?"
Naruto was somewhat displeased by Jiraiya the Wanderer and slapped Jiraiya the Wanderer. But the most shocked person was none other than Pain the Wanderer.
In just a short while, his emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down, leaving him somewhat at a loss. But when he heard the Jiraiya the Wanderer call that Kakashi" Naruto," he knew he had been tricked.
He pointed at Naruto with his finger, muttering to himself, seemingly too excited to speak clearly.
"You, you, you, didn't you say your name was Kakashi?"
As soon as the Pain the Wanderer these words, even the Jiraiya the Wanderer looked at Naruto with a strange gaze, but he quickly smiled.
"You're much smarter than your old man."
By this time, Jiraiya the Wanderer, had already guessed what was going on with these two kids. First, there was Naruto, who kept his own appearance but lied and said he was Kakashi, and then there Sasuke, who was dressed as a girl. These two brats were getting more and more interesting.
But no one noticed the hint of loss in Jiraiya the Wanderer he wandered.
"Alright, let me introduce you. This guy is also my apprentice, but I haven't figured out his identity before his reincarnation. It could be Yahiko, or it could be that kid Nagato..."
Naruto was surprised that the Jiraiya the Wanderer would say something like that. Did this guy really trust him that much?
The Pain the Wanderer seemed to have become accustomed to Jiraiya the Wanderer behavior.
" Jiraiya- sensei, are these things something you can just say so casually?"
"Don't worry, these two little guys aren't bad people. Come, let me introduce them to you."
"This blond kid over here is your senior brother's son, and that one over there, um, is also a junior from my old village. They're all outstanding youngsters, so don't worry, they're trustworthy."
The Pain the Wanderer, who had initially harbored some reservations, completely lost his initial sense of crisis after hearing his teacher's words and trusting his own eyes to believe he wouldn't be deceived.
