Tsunade had indeed seen them before.
After Jiraiya received the scroll, he could not help but widen his eyes and stare at the portrait on the scroll, “Is this… Konan?”
The first time Jiraiya saw the portrait of Konan, he immediately recognized the silhouette of Konan. It should be one of the three disciples that he had accepted from Country of Rain.
Moreover…
What Konan was good at was Paper Ninjutsu.
However, he did not know why Konan, who was thought to have died in the war, was still alive and joined the notorious Akatsuki organization.
After Jiraiya’s expression changed, he suddenly revealed a bright smile, “Although Konan has already grown into a very beautiful woman, I can still see her past appearance. It’s just that her personality seems to have become very different!”
After all, the Konan in the portrait was not gentle at all. There was only coldness in her eyes, and her expression was just like the other members of Akatsuki that Jiraiya and the others had seen.
Indifferent.
Ruthless.
“Huh? Konan… Isn’t that your student in Amegakure…”
Tsunade’s expression also changed. She suddenly looked up at Jiraiya, “If I remember correctly, they should have died in the war!”
Tsunade heard Jiraiya mention it.
Jiraiya stayed with Country of Rain for three years and taught three children. To be precise, the three children were the first batch of disciples that Jiraiya accepted.
Unfortunately, in the third Ninja World war, Jiraiya received news from a toad that sent the letter. The three children all died on the battlefield, which made Jiraiya depressed for a long time.
“I don’t know either…”
Jiraiya sighed and shook his head.
In addition to the relationship between teacher and student for three years, Jiraiya also thought that one of the children with the Rinnegan might be the Son of Fate he was looking for.
The Rinnegan was the legendary Eye of the Sage.
However, in the next moment, Jiraiya received the news of the Rinnegan. When he slowly opened the scroll that Kirigakure had sent over, his expression suddenly became even uglier.
“It’s actually Yahiko…”
Jiraiya subconsciously clenched the scroll in his hand. He recognized Yahiko’s appearance at a glance, and also the Rinnegan in Yahiko’s eyes.
Jiraiya’s fingers slowly relaxed, and he slowly placed the scroll in his hand on the table. His expression suddenly became incomparably ugly, “How did Yahiko obtain Nagato’s Rinnegan… If he and Konan are both alive, where is Nagato?”
The first thought in Jiraiya’s mind was that Yahiko had killed Nagato and taken away his Rinnegan.
No, it could also be another situation.
After Nagato died, Yahiko had transplanted Nagato’s Rinnegan. After all, Yahiko and Naruto had similar personalities and were not the kind of people who could hurt their companions.
Only in this way was it possible to get close to the truth.
If it were after Nagato was killed, Yahiko would transplant Nagato’s Rinnegan in order to take revenge and join the Akatsuki organization to try and destroy this Ninja World.
This was the most credible situation.
“Ero sennin, Granny Tsunade, do you know these two people?”
Naruto walked over and looked curiously at the two portraits on the scroll. He touched his chin and said, “Are they the ninjas from our village?”
“No.”
Jiraiya shook his head and looked at the portraits of Pain and Konan. He said in a deep voice, “They are Country of Rain’s ninjas. In the second Ninja World War, they were the student I accepted in the Country of Rain after the war ended…”
After saying that, Jiraiya suddenly looked up at Tsunade and whispered, “A few years ago, when Orochimaru invaded Konoha, Danzo threatened Uehara to kill the old man. He seemed to have promised a few conditions…”
“One of them.”
Tsunade’s face also darkened, and she said, “That is to ask Konoha to help and support Amegakure to destroy Akatsuki’s organization. But later on, Uehara probably wanted to maintain Amegakure’s independence and prevent the war from spreading, so he decided to remove this one.”
“Hehe…”
Jiraiya chuckled and shook his head.
Jiraya whispered, “According to the information that Uehara brought up and we got, after Akatsuki and Amegakure broke up, Country of Rain fell into civil strife until Hanzo led Amegakure to completely expel Akatsuki;
Before they broke up, Akatsuki was established because of Amegakure’s support. At that time, Uehara even took the initiative to recruit a few members for Akatsuki, so he must know Konan and Yahiko! After all, they are the Country of Rain’s ninjas. “
After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya slowly looked up at Tsunade, and his face gradually became gloomy, “That little brat Uehara has been hiding the information of Konan and Yahiko. He has never told us the information of these two people!”
This meant that Amegakure had never sincerely cooperated with Konoha. Uehara went to Konoha several times and often participated in the alliance meeting, but never mentioned that Akatsuki had two hidden members.
“What do you think Amegakure is hiding their purpose?”
Tsunade tapped her finger on the table and frowned, “Among the few villages that participated in the encirclement of Akatsuki, Amegakure has always been the one who worked the hardest. It was also thanks to Uehara that we saved the Fifth Kazekage.”
Tsunade looked at the scroll and continued, “Before we attacked Kakuzu last time, Uehara once mentioned that he wanted the treasures on Kakuzu for a long time. Could it be that the Rinnegan also similar?”
“It might not be impossible.”
Jiraiya stretched his waist, and a bright smile appeared on his face, “If they really want to seize the Rinnegan, it doesn’t seem strange to hide the information… I’m just curious about how much information they still have about Akatsuki.”
After saying this, Jiraiya touched his chin and said, “It’s better for me to secretly investigate Amegakure this time. It’s better to get some complete information about Akatsuki. After all, there is no more accurate source of information than Amegakure the birthplace of Akatsuki’s organization…”
“No, this is too dangerous!”
Tsunade immediately stopped Jiraiya and explained in a deep voice, “Moreover, Amegakure is our ally. If we sneak in and get discovered, it is very likely to cause a misunderstanding between the two sides!”
After Tsunade finished speaking, she immediately took out a scroll and whispered, “I will immediately send someone to send a diplomatic statement to Amegakure, asking them to hand over all the information about Akatsuki!
That guy, Hanzo, secretly hid the information about Akatsuki!
In addition to the secrets of longevity and the Rinnegan, they might also want to take the opportunity to attack other Big Countries Great Ninja Village and realize the dream of that old man to dominate the world! “
“This is normal.”
Jiraiya stretched out his palm and pressed it on the blank scroll, stopping Tsunade’s actions. He slowly shook his head and said, “Even if you write a letter, it will be useless. The things they want to hide will never be announced.”
“…”
Tsunade suddenly fell silent.
In fact, she also knew that Jiraiya was right.
How could something that could not be obtained from the negotiation table be obtained from a diplomatic statement? Hanzo had always been an ambitious guy. How could he change his attitude just because of a diplomatic statement?
Maybe after Hanzo expelled Akatsuki from the Country of Rain, he was worried about the threat of Akatsuki and let Uehara reveal a lot of information about Akatsuki.
Later, Hanzo found out that Akatsuki’s organization had attacked the Big Countries Great Ninja Village one after another, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Perhaps it would be helpful for him to dominate the world, so he began to attack Akatsuki’s organization again. He even deliberately concealed information about Akatsuki.
“That old fellow, Hanzo!”
Tsunade suddenly clenched the pen in her hand and crushed it into pieces, “Now that Akatsuki endangers the entire Ninja World, is he still taking the opportunity to gain for himself!”
“Alright, alright.”
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade who had fallen into silence. He chuckled and continued, “Don’t worry. Although Amegakure has been isolated from the outside world all these years, he would occasionally communicate with us. Moreover, we are allies with Amegakure. Once I am discovered, they might not kill me out of respect for you!”
In fact, the probability of this was not high.
Generally, if a spy was sent to an Allied Village to steal information, not only would it hurt the Alliance relationship, but it would also give the Allied Village a reason to kill a spy. After all, spies never had the right to survive.
If Jiraiya was found and could escape, it would just be a dispute between Konoha and Amegakure, and even Konoha could use the information that Jiraiya stole to blame Amegakure.
If Jiraiya was caught or killed, then the relationship between Konoha and Amegakure would be complicated!
“Well, I won’t be in danger.”
Jiraiya stood up and said with a chuckle, “Besides, if I encounter any danger, you can immediately issue a diplomatic statement! Maybe you can ask them to send me back with the matter of Amegakure hiding Yahiko and Konan!”
After saying that, Jiraiya took out a set of Icha Icha Paradise from his ninja backpack and added with a chuckle, “Besides, I have fans in Amegakure!
If Uehara knew, as long as I bribed him with this set of books, he might give a face to this set of books and let me live!”
To be honest, Jiraiya was also very uncertain about sneaking into Amegakure.
That was the place where the Ninja Demigod Hanzo had always been guarding.
Even though Jiraiya had already become a well-known Ninja like Hanzo. He still could not help but be shocked when he recalled Hanzo’s fierce might when he was young.
“Idiot!”
Tsunade couldn’t help but pat her forehead and scolded, “Don’t take that kind of fragile relationship seriously! That little brat Uehara is very loyal to Hanzo. He is the number one lackey of Hanzo!”
“Hahahaha, you won’t understand the friendship of men!”
Jiraiya smiled and shook his head. He put away the book in his ninja backpack and turned to look at Naruto, who was hesitating. He rubbed his forehead and said, “Naruto, I don’t think there is anything I can teach you. Then I’ll pass on my last trick!”
“Ero sennin?”
Naruto raised his head and looked at Jiraiya worriedly. He said in a deep voice, “I heard that you are going to a very dangerous place. I have learned Sage Mode now. I can go in your place!”
“As a child, it is better to stay at home and do the task obediently…”
Jiraiya took out a notebook from his ninja bag, knocked on Naruto’s head, and handed the notebook to him, “There is a treasure land that I passed by when I was training in the ninja world. This notebook is a guide for each of the girls…”
“That was enough!”
Tsunade was so angry that she smashed her own table!
At this time, why was he still so improper!
Jiraiya was so scared that his palm froze on the spot. After he calmed down, he slowly handed the notebook in his hand to Naruto, “That… This is mainly my manuscript…”
“Ero sennin!”
Naruto shook his head and didn’t take his notes, “I will take your place to steal information, or I will go with you!”
“Absolutely not.”
Jiraiya quickly shook his head and explained in a deep voice, “Amegakure is sealed and its security has always been tight. If you go, you will only be a burden…”
“Ero sennin!”
“Alright!”
Jiraiya patted Naruto’s forehead and said in a deep voice, “After getting the information, I will come back immediately. When I am not in Konoha, you have to protect the village in my place. Don’t let Konoha end up like the other villages.”
“…”
Naruto gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his head.
“Tsunade…”
Jiraiya rubbed his palms and his face slowly turned red. He said softly, “I mean if you can… after I come back…”
“Hmm?”
Tsunade looked up in confusion.
“Fine.”
Jiraiya patted his forehead and said softly, “If it’s possible, help me take good care of Naruto!”
Tsunade, “…”
In any case, Jiraiya had already made up his mind.
Moreover, this trip was actually not that dangerous.
There were not many strong ninjas in Amegakure other than Hanzo and a genius ninja like Uehara.
Even if Jiraiya could not defeat them, it would still be easy for him to escape.
Akatsuki’s base.
Uehara had just sealed Gobi, Rokubi, and Nanabi. He did not know that the news of Konan and Pain had appeared in front of Tsunade and Jiraiya.
No matter what, the cause and effect of the world still had to be blamed on Danzo.
If Danzo had not colluded with Hanzo to ambush Akatsuki, it would not deteriorate into an evil organization.
Now that the information about Konan and Pain was leaked, it was also because of the reward of killing Danzo that Uehara liked to destroy the Great Ninja Village when capturing Bijuu, which led to the joint efforts of several Great Ninja Villages to exchange information about Akatsuki.
If that was the case, it really was Danzo’s fault.
After sealing the three Bijuu, Deidara collapsed to the ground, “I sealed three Bijuu in one go. I have to rest for a few days!”
“Yes.”
Pain also nodded and said in a deep voice, “Next, only Hachibi and Kyuubi, the two strongest ones, are left. After resting for a few days, we will collectively capture Hachibi Jinchuriki and Konoha Kyuubi Jinchuriki!”
Pain slowly looked at Gedo Mazo’s seven bright eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes. Next, the speed of collecting Bijuu must hasten!
Uehara also looked at the seven eyes that Gedo Mazo showed, and a light flashed in his eyes. The plan to kick Nagato and Konan out must hasten…
