Is it possible that the depressed Jiraiya's vigilance has dropped?
Of course not!
Although when he found Jiraiya off-road, he felt that Jiraiya's eyes were dull and his will was depressed. However, Cross Country could feel that there must be a fire in Jiraiya's heart because of Orochimaru's defection. Therefore, the ninjas following Jiraiya at the rear will soon become Jiraiya's tools to extinguish the fire.
However, now that there is off-roading, the situation will definitely become different.
Let's just talk about the stalkers that Jiraiya wants to deal with. Cross Country is very interested in them.
In the ninja world, there are many people who want to assassinate Jiraiya. After all, the bounty on Jiraiya's underground exchange is very high. If Kakuzu was still alive and had a chance to meet Jiraiya, he would definitely be ready to kill Jiraiya and take Jiraiya's head in exchange for a large bounty.
But it would be interesting to say that there are ninjas in the ninja world who want to know Jiraiya's whereabouts.
In addition to the Third Hokage, the existence that can be interested in Jiraiya is undoubtedly the three parties.
The first one is the "Akatsuki" organization headed by Nagato and Konan.
The second one is the "Twilight" organization with Yahiko and the Fourth Hokage as members.
As for the third one, it is undoubtedly Madara who has had several cross-country confrontations and may still be hiding in the Mist Ninja Village.
Therefore, just when Jiraiya was about to go and deal with the few stalkers behind him, he took Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto, suddenly using the "Moon Step" off-road, and suddenly arrived in front of Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya-sama, I see how angry you are. Do you want to deal with them?" "
How about I do it for you?"
"Nara Cross Country?"
Suddenly seeing that the person in front of him was a cross country, Jiraiya frowned. , asked: "Why are you here?"
"I'm not here, must I be in Konoha Village?" He
replied indifferently, thinking of Uzumaki Naruto's experience in Konoha Village, he couldn't help but snorted coldly. Said: "Why should I stay in this heartless village? Now I am traveling around the ninja world with my teacher's children. It is more relaxed and I don't need to worry about the conspiracies. Why not?" "Jiraiya-sama
, If I'm not wrong, you have been reluctant to return to Konoha Village because of the teacher, right?" "
What a pity, I have done what you didn't want to do now!" "
Look who is next to me, You will know why I said this!"
After saying that, Cross Country actually dropped Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto directly and went to the front of the stalkers.
Instead, it was Jiraiya.
After listening to Cross Country's words, he glanced at Uzumaki Naruto with dull eyes.
Almost as soon as he saw Uzumaki Naruto's appearance that resembled that of the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was completely stunned.
Let’s talk about off-roading.
With Jiraiya going to protect Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara, there is no need to worry about the safety of the two of them in cross-country. Moreover, Uzumaki Naruto is the child of the Fourth Hokage, so there is no need to worry about Jiraiya possibly taking Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara back to Konoha Village, because Jiraiya knows that Uzumaki Naruto is in Konoha The situation in the village.
As for why Jiraiya didn't go to protect Uzumaki Naruto, Cross Country also had some speculation.
In the original plot, why did Jiraiya know that the Fourth Hokage was dead, but he failed to return to Konoha Village and teach Uzumaki Naruto properly?
The reason must not be that Jiraiya gave up the Fourth Hokage's child regardless of his master-disciple relationship. It could only be that the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo and others did not want to see Jiraiya go to train the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.
Only during the Chuunin Exams, when Orochimaru was preparing a plan to collapse Konoha, Jiraiya quietly returned to Konoha Village only when he was preparing to go to aid.
In the same way, even if Uzumaki Naruto is the protagonist, he can't just meet Jiraiya at will, right?
There is no doubt that Jiraiya must have been ready to accept Uzumaki Naruto as his disciple long ago. He just needed some "chance encounters", so the process of Uzumaki Naruto's apprenticeship in the original plot was born.
Nowadays, cross-country can take Uzumaki Naruto out of trouble, which must be something Jiraiya is happy to see.
In addition, Gaara from Sand Ninja Village is a good friend of Naruto Uzumaki.
Cross Country thought that Jiraiya was not willing to embarrass Uzumaki Naruto, so he had to protect Gaara while protecting Uzumaki Naruto, and then he came unscrupulously in front of the stalkers.
As early as when Cross Country used Kagura's inner eye to observe, he found that these people following Jiraiya were very interesting. They wore uniform uniforms, as if they were afraid that others would not be able to recognize that they were ninjas of the same organization. However, the uniforms these people wear cannot be subdued by the "Akatsuki" organization. If they really wear the uniforms of the "Akatsuki" organization, it would really look like they are showing off.
Immediately afterwards.
He suddenly appeared, but he had no intention of talking to these minions.
He casually mobilized the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand, and directly used the secret technique of Shadow Escape, Shadow Sewing Technique.
In just one second, Cross Country subdued everyone who was following Jiraiya. But what surprised Cross Country was that these people who came to follow Jiraiya actually knew him!
"Are you a shadow mage?"
"A shadow mage from Konoha Village?"
"Oh? Do you all know me?"
I asked in return. The stalkers in front of the cross-country meeting all nodded, and the corners of their eyes twitched fiercely as they asked. "You are not from Dusk, are you?"
"Huh? What is Dusk?"
Listening to Cross Country's questions, several of the followers expressed confusion at the same time.
Cross Country knew that these people were not from "Twilight", so he couldn't help but be more curious about why they knew his identity.
Immediately, after asking around for a while, I found out that the people following Jiraiya were really not members of the "Twilight" organization, but they had a certain relationship with "Twilight".
Because these stalkers are actually the Fourth Hokage!
In other words,
they are an intelligence network established by the Fourth Hokage!
These guys who came to follow Jiraiya were originally just some wandering ninjas. They were encountered by the Fourth Hokage when he was traveling in the ninja world. After being dealt with, they became members of the Fourth Hokage's intelligence network. . And the uniforms they wear are just a bad taste of the Fourth Hokage, not the uniforms of "Twilight".
After knowing that these stalkers turned out to be his own people, Cross Country took a deep breath and thought to himself that it was lucky that he stopped Jiraiya from going to massacre them, otherwise the Fourth Hokage would have lost some members of the intelligence network.
But when he learned that the identities of these people were part of the Fourth Hokage's intelligence network, Cross Country was curious as to why the Fourth Hokage wanted to track Jiraiya's whereabouts, and then asked.
But after asking cross-country, the answer he got was that he knew.
"Reporting to Master Shadow Master, the master knows about the defection of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, and is afraid that Lord Jiraiya is in danger, so he sent us to investigate Lord Jiraiya's situation and learn about Lord Jiraiya's next move."
"The master said that the mission he is going to carry out this time is very dangerous, if possible." "
He hopes that we can inform Lord Jiraiya and accompany him on the mission!"
