"Little Jiraiya, you're here..."
The Great Toad Sage, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet, spoke to Tsunade and Orochimaru below.
" The Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya is already dead..."
"It's so sad," said the Sage Fukasaku.
"I see..."
The Great Toad Sage gave a blank reply, then closed his eyes and said nothing more.
" Great Toad Sage, what exactly do you want with us?"
Orochimaru, seeing the Great Toad Sage resting with his eyes closed, couldn't help but ask a question.
"Oh..."
The Great Toad Sage seemed to suddenly remember something and opened his eyes again.
"It split into two."
The Great Toad Sage muttered to himself.
"What two?"
Orochimaru frowned and asked.
" Jiraiya still alive."
"No, Jiraiya is already dead..."
The Great Toad Sage seemed somewhat confused.
" The Child of Prophecy has changed."
After a period of chaos, the Great Toad Sage suddenly spoke.
"What!"
Sage Fukasaku's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
The Child of Prophecy has never changed, but has it suddenly changed today?
" Great Toad Sage, when exactly will the Child of Prophecy change?!"
"And who exactly is the Child of Prophecy now?"
The Sage Fukasaku asked anxiously.
"I can sense that Child of Prophecy have appeared several years ago, but I can't perceive any of their characteristics; all that's left for me is complete darkness..."
The Great Toad Sage squinted as he spoke.
"And a few years ago our world split into two."
The Great Toad Sage continued.
"It split into... two?"
Orochimaru frowned, seemingly incredulous.
Can the world really be divided into two?
Orochimaru couldn't understand what this meant at all.
"The future has changed... the Child of Prophecy is no longer the Child of Prophecy..."
The Great Toad Sage seemed somewhat confused, or perhaps unsure of what to say, and closed his eyes, remaining silent.
No matter how much the Sage Fukasaku called to the Great Toad Sage, he remained silent.
"Sorry, the Great Toad Sage might be a little confused today."
Seeing that the Sage Fukasaku Great Toad Sage was ignoring them, Fukasaku knew that the Great Toad Sage had probably entered a dream state again, so he turned to Tsunade and Orochimaru and said.
"I'll take you back. Let's set the coordinates at Jiraiya's house."
The Sage Fukasaku spoke to the two of them.
"Um."
Orochimaru nodded.
As for Tsunade down and remained silent.
" Reverse Summoning Technique!"
Sage Fukasaku slapped the ground with one hand, and then the two of them disappeared from the spot.
"Ah... we've arrived..."
Orochimaru opened his eyes and found himself in Jiraiya's house.
The first thing you see is that it's dirty and messy.
This shows how slovenly the owner of this room is.
" Jiraiya..."
Tsunade burst into tears the moment she saw the room.
What does "two worlds" mean...?
" Jiraiya is dead, Jiraiya..."
Orochimaru ignored Tsunade, pondering the words left behind by the Great Toad Sage.
"Could it be!"
A crazy idea popped into Orochimaru's mind.
Did this world break apart at some point, thus creating two different worlds?
The Great Toad Sage sensed two worlds simultaneously, which is why he said things like "Jiraiya is dead" and "Jiraiya isn't dead!"
"This world seems far more interesting than I imagined."
A smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips.
Orochimaru then opened the door and walked towards the Hokage's office.
He needed to report the situation on the battlefield to Hiruzen Sarutobi. As for what to do on the battlefield, that was Hiruzen Sarutobi's business, not Orochimaru's.
Hokage's Office
Orochimaru pushed the door open and entered.
Orochimaru?
Hiruzen Sarutobi was reviewing documents, frowned.
The war has only been going on for two days, how come Orochimaru has returned to Konoha?
Hiruzen Sarutobi even sensed Orochimaru's aura to confirm if it was indeed him.
"Weren't you on the battlefield? Why are you back?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and asked.
"We lost. Jiraiya dead, but the opponent has also exhausted their Chakra, so we've temporarily called a truce."
Orochimaru said in a calm tone.
"What!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi his fist on the table and stood up!
Jiraiya is dead?
What shocked him was not the fact that Jiraiya was dead, but how powerful Iwagakure was, that they could kill Jiraiya in just two days!
Didaze invented a new type of bomb called Karura.
Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and slowly spoke.
"This bomb is made entirely of Nanoscale Bomb. Once it explodes, nothing will grow within a ten-mile radius, and anyone within that area will continuously inhale the Nanoscale Bomb, even without breathing."
Orochimaru explained Karura in great detail.
He needs to explain this clearly so he can shift the blame.
It could be said that the opponent was too strong, not that we were too weak.
"He seemed to have used a smaller one before, how did he develop such a giant one so quickly?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down and began to think.
He remembered that Didaze had previously used a small, spherical Nanoscale Bomb, but that one was much less powerful.
It's impossible to completely eliminate all vegetation, and the maximum area is less than a few hundred meters.
But in such a short time, has Didaze already improved to this extent?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's fear of Didaze grew even deeper.
"However, we can leave earlier using Reverse Summoning Technique. We didn't leave before because we didn't have any information. Next time he releases it, we can escape earlier using Reverse Summoning."
Orochimaru continued.
"I understand. I'll go to the battlefield with you later."
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He had no choice but to go to the battlefield; the current situation made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
He always had the feeling that other villages were getting stronger while Konoha was regressing.
"Yes."
Orochimaru nodded and then left the Hokage's office.
After crying her heart out at Jiraiya's house, Tsunade returned to her own home.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Fifteen-year-old Nawaki stepped forward and looked at her older sister, whose eyes were red, and asked softly.
He stayed at home mainly to take care of Kakashi, since Kakashi's parents had both passed away and he would have to live alone without Nawaki 'Kakashi care.
" Nawaki... Jiraiya is dead."
Tsunade said softly, sobbing.
"What!"
Nawaki's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He saw Jiraiya just a few days ago, and now the other guy is dead?
Amidst the intense emotional turmoil, Nawaki suddenly emitted a faint green light!
