“That bastard, sigh, I really don’t know what to say about him.”
Jiraiya pouted.
“He’s on a very demanding mission, under immense psychological pressure, silently completing it without telling anyone until he realized he couldn’t do it alone.
Only then did he tell me and ask for my help.
He really looks down on This Great One!”
Jiraiya sighed, drank a bowl of sake, and said angrily, “You don’t need to worry about him.
That guy has a tough life; he probably won’t die!”
Jiraiya knew very well.
Natsuki was currently impersonating a Root member under Danzo, monitoring Danzo’s every move.
The danger involved was even higher than when Natsuki had secretly investigated Hanzou the Salamander previously!
That bastard, he really needs to be careful.
Once he shows any weakness, Danzo will surely use a trumped-up charge to put Natsuki to death, and after his death, Natsuki’s name will not appear on the martyr’s monument.
Even everyone in Konoha will revile Natsuki!
Not long after.
Yahiko excitedly told Jiraiya that Hanzou the Salamander had invited him, Yahiko, and Konan to discuss in detail the matter of the Akatsuki Organization becoming Amegakure’s military force three days later.
“Jiraiya-sensei, Hanzou the Salamander thinks highly of our Akatsuki Organization!” Yahiko said cheerfully.
As soon as this was mentioned, Konan and Nagato’s expressions also became very excited.
“Really?
He could tell that if he were to tell them Hanzou the Salamander’s true intentions now, it would be like pouring a bucket of cold water on his three disciples.
His three beloved disciples might be willing to listen to his advice and not meet with Hanzou the Salamander.
But they might not accept the reality of the situation.
And.
This was a good opportunity to kill Danzo!
As a high-ranking political figure of Konoha, it would be better for Danzo to die in Amegakure than in Konoha…
Three days later.
Early in the morning.
The rain was still falling incessantly.
Jiraiya lay on the bed in the small wooden house, fast asleep, surrounded by sake bottles, his body reeking of alcohol.
“Jiraiya-sensei is really a drunkard,” Konan said, putting on the Akatsuki Organization’s cloud-patterned robe.
“Teacher Natsuki said that Jiraiya-sensei is not only a drunkard but also a pervert,” Yahiko chuckled.
After putting on his cloud-patterned robe, he leaned close to Jiraiya and gently pinched Jiraiya’s nose.
After his breathing was obstructed, Jiraiya suddenly rolled over and said huffily, “Don’t disturb This Great One’s sleep!”
After speaking.
Jiraiya pushed Yahiko’s hand away.
He let out a loud snore, rolled over, and continued to sleep.
The smell of alcohol around him grew stronger.
Konan and Nagato couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yahiko, let Jiraiya-sensei sleep well.
Yahiko’s expression then became serious.
A week ago, Hanzou the Salamander had led his subordinates in a confrontation with the Akatsuki Organization led by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.
Originally, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato thought that Hanzou the Salamander had come with hostile intentions.
But they hadn’t expected.
Hanzou the Salamander maintained a very friendly attitude towards their organization.
He proactively expressed his desire to cooperate with them.
And gave them ample time to consider.
Three days ago, the three of them had already informed Hanzou the Salamander’s subordinates of their decision.
They were very willing to cooperate.
Today was the agreed-upon day to negotiate with Hanzou the Salamander.
The three of them flipped their respective plaques hanging on the wall to the side with the frog drawing.
Konan went to arrange today’s rescue mission for the Akatsuki Organization’s subordinates, leaving first, and then reuniting with Nagato and Yahiko.
According to the agreement with Hanzou the Salamander, both sides considered the negotiations confidential and were not to bring subordinates.
Therefore.
Hanzou the Salamander would come alone, and the three of them would also not bring Akatsuki Organization’s subordinates.
As Yahiko closed the door to the small wooden house, he cast a deep glance at the sleeping Jiraiya: “Jiraiya-sensei, wait for our good news.
Although you always treat us like children, we have grown up, Jiraiya-sensei, our achievements will surely make you proud!”
