Jiraiya slapped Kakuzu's abdomen, removing the previous seal and also freeing him from the toad's stomach.
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back to Mount Myōboku now."
Jiraiya finished Summoning with Gamabunta and the others.
The three giant toads nodded and turned into smoke before returning to Mount Myōboku.
"From today on, you will no longer be a bounty hunter. Find a way to win over some powerful ninjas. The savings you have accumulated before can be put to good use."
Jiraiya said to Kakuzu with a smile.
In the original novel, all the money Kakuzu saved up was used by Konan to buy detonating tags, and he didn't spend a penny.
It's really tragic when you think about it.
"Anyway, you saved money because you wanted to build a peaceful ninja village. Now that you follow me, you don't need to continue saving money. After all, our goal is to conquer the entire ninja world."
"As long as we can unify the ninja world, from now on every place in the ninja world will be the village in your mind."
Jiraiya was afraid that Kakuzu would be reluctant to spend the money, so he added another sentence.
"If you want to unify the entire ninja world, you need extremely strong strength to wipe out all the ninja villages.
I don't believe you will have that strength in the future, so I don't want to spend my money.
What if my money is all spent and you can't achieve your goal? I will lose a lot of money."
Kakuzu said, shaking his head.
He worked hard to save up that little fortune.
How could he use it to recruit soldiers just because of Jiraiya's words?
"I already have a complete plan. I will definitely give you hope of success. I can assure you that within three years, I will be able to become Hokage. By then, I will lead the entire Konoha to accomplish this great goal."
Jiraiya continued.
"Also, you have no right to refuse unless you want to die. After you die, you can still get your money."
Jiraiya threatened again.
"I think your proposal is very good. I fully support it."
Kakuzu immediately nodded in agreement.
If he refused, he would lose his money.
He is not a fool, so he will naturally agree.
This way, at least you can enjoy the joy of spending money.
"This ring is for you. Remember to always wear it so I can contact you at any time."
Jiraiya took out another ring and gave it to Kakuzu.
This is the sound transmission ring he got when he signed in. As long as Kakuzu wears this ring, Jiraiya can communicate with Kakuzu at any time no matter how far away they are.
The communication technology in the Hokage world is extremely backward.
A sound transmission ring like this one is extremely precious.
Jiraiya told Kakuzu how to use the ring.
"That's quite interesting."
Kakuzu took the ring and brought it to his hand.
Kakuzu then took out a few Summoning scrolls, and several beating hearts emerged from them. Black tentacles emerged from his chest, and they rolled up the hearts and pulled them into his body.
"The current Hokage of the Fire Nation is in his prime and will definitely not abdicate anytime soon. How did you get the confidence to become the Hokage in three years? Do you want to kill the Hokage and launch a coup?"
"I heard that the current Hokage is the strongest Hokage. It seems difficult to kill him even if you have mastered Sage Mode."
Kakuzu asked Jiraiya curiously.
"You don't need to worry about how I become Hokage. I have my own way." Jiraiya said coldly.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has been training him as his successor.
As long as he can make enough contributions and accumulate enough reputation during World War II, it is almost certain that he will inherit the Hokage.
The only thing he had to worry about now was that after he became Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would stop him from unifying the ninja world.
Because if you want to unify the ninja world, you must start a war.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen cherishes peace, so he will never start a war easily.
Jiraiya is very clear about this.
He doesn't have any good solution at the moment.
There are only two ways. One is to convince Sarutobi Hiruzen with your own ideas, but this is difficult, almost impossible.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was taught by the First Hokage.
The second is to defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen and imprison him or kill him.
Jiraiya didn't want to take this path either.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen is very powerful, it would be a shame to imprison or kill him.
"The Fire Country, the Wind Country, and the Earth Country are about to invade the Rain Country. The Rain Country is about to become a place of chaos. You can sneak into the Rain Country now, which will make it easier for you to win over powerful ninjas."
Jiraiya ordered Kakuzu.
After he returns to the village, he will have to go back to the Rain Kingdom to fight again.
Kakuzu is very powerful, so letting him enter the Rain Country can support him at critical moments.
"OK."
Kakuzu nodded and separated from Jiraiya, heading towards the Rain Country.
Jiraiya continued to return to the village.
On the way back to the village, Jiraiya encountered several waves of bounty hunters, but they were all easily dealt with by Jiraiya.
Ordinary bounty hunters no longer pose any threat to Jiraiya.
After returning to the village, Jiraiya found that the number of villagers had decreased a lot.
Now that the war is about to begin, a large number of ninjas and civilians have all been drafted to the front lines, so the village has naturally become much quieter.
Jiraiya went straight to the Hokage office building to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Jiraiya you did a great job."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Rain Country's forehead protector on the table with a smile on his face.
Jōnin alone killed five of them.
This record can be said to have far exceeded Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.
"I can achieve such results thanks to the good cultivation of my teacher." Jiraiya said very modestly.
He did not tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that Danzo had sent the Root ninja to attack him.
Because even if he told Sarutobi Hiruzen about this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would not kill Danzo because of him. At most, he would get angry, scold Danzo severely, and then reduce the power in Danzo's hands.
Other than that, there is no way Danzo could be punished.
Because the war is about to start, Konoha is in need of manpower. Danzo only knows how to fight, so he still has some ability, so they will definitely not abandon him at this time.
Another point is that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo also have a very deep relationship.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would not kill Danzo unless it was absolutely necessary.
In the original work, Danzo ordered his men to ambush Sarutobi Hiruzen. After Sarutobi Hiruzen returned safely, he still chose to forgive Danzo.
So there was absolutely no need to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about something like this.
Just take revenge on Danzo in his own way.
