“This question…”
Jiraiya furrowed his brow slightly, deep in thought.
After a few seconds, Jiraiya gave his answer: “You still have to save your comrades!”
“But, ‘mission success, task above all’ has always been the belief of a Konoha Ninja,” Sakumo Hatake sighed.
As his voice fell,
Before Jiraiya could say anything,
Behind him, Natsuki’s voice rang out: “Sakumo, whether you choose to save your comrades or complete the mission, there might not be an optimal solution to this problem.”
Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake turned around.
They saw Natsuki holding three bottles of beer behind them.
“You brat, you actually came!
Did you finish your mission so quickly?” Jiraiya happily took a bottle of beer and guzzled it down, feeling very refreshed.
“Teacher Hiruzen gave me a long-term mission; it won’t be finished that quickly,” Natsuki said with a smile as he sat down.
He put his arm around Sakumo Hatake’s shoulder and said very sincerely: “Sakumo, if one day you truly encounter such a dilemma, even if you believe the choice you made was wrong, even if everyone blames your actions, please believe that no matter what choice you make, I will steadfastly support you!”
“Me too!” Jiraiya laughed heartily, handing Sakumo Hatake a bottle of beer.
Sakumo Hatake looked at his two comrades in front of him.
He felt a wave of emotion.
His pupils trembled slightly.
He took the beer and clinked glasses with great gusto.
The three then began to chat freely.
As the beer was almost finished, Jiraiya suddenly thought of the three disciples he had taken in Hidden Rain Village: “Natsuki, how are Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan doing? This chapter was copied from novelping.com without permission.
Are they all well?”
Natsuki told Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake about the situation of the ‘Akatsuki’ organization created by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.
Sakumo Hatake listened, praising them repeatedly.
Jiraiya was very smug: “Hahaha, my disciples seem to be growing up to be very formidable!
Speaking of which, I miss those three kids a bit.
When the war ends and I have time, I’ll go visit them…”
Natsuki suddenly interrupted Jiraiya, saying: “This mission the Third Hokage gave me will require me to kill two people at a specific time.
By myself, I might not be able to complete it.
I hope you two can help me.”
“Which two people do you need our help to kill?
Tell us the details.”
Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake’s expressions became serious.
They understood Natsuki’s strength was no weaker than either of theirs.
It sounded like…
Natsuki’s mission was very dangerous.
“One is Hanzou the Salamander,” Natsuki said with a solemn expression.
“It’s him!”
Upon hearing that name, Jiraiya’s face tensed up slightly.
Although more than three years had passed since his last encounter with Hanzou the Salamander,
During these three years, Jiraiya’s strength had improved a lot.
However, Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
The huge gap in strength he felt when fighting Hanzou the Salamander three years ago still made Jiraiya feel a little afraid.
Sakumo Hatake’s expression also became serious.
He had never fought Hanzou the Salamander.
But from Jiraiya’s expression, he could tell that the man known as the Demigod was very strong.
“Who is the other person?” Sakumo Hatake asked with a serious expression.
“Danzo.”
Instantly,
Jiraiya and Sakumo Hatake’s expressions completely froze.
Both of them abruptly looked at Natsuki.
Silence.
This silence lasted for several seconds.
Jiraiya’s eyes widened, looking at Natsuki with disbelief: “You brat, are you mistaken?
I can understand killing Hanzou the Salamander, but the other person you want to kill, are you sure it’s Danzo?”
Natsuki said very clearly: “No mistake, it’s Danzo, Danzo Shimura.”
After Sakumo Hatake reacted, he stood up abruptly: “Natsuki!
Don’t joke with me like this.
Lord Danzo is a Konoha elder, and his contributions to Konoha’s development are indelible!”
Anger surged in Sakumo Hatake’s eyes.
He pointed at Natsuki, Chakra surging around him, his killing intent obvious: “If you kill him, you will become a Konoha Rogue Ninja.
No matter how deep our friendship is, I will not allow you to be an enemy of Konoha!
I will mercilessly sever our friendship and treat you as an enemy!”
