Chapter 364 - Chapter 198: Lord Third Hokage, You Will Regret This! (2)

Now that I think about it...

It still seems a bit off.

However, Jiraiya could no longer find any traces of the Akatsuki Organization because with the addition of new intelligence and the ability to use the ultra-long range communication Illusionary Body Jutsu within the organization, they had no need to worry about Jiraiya's troubles.

Moreover...

Nagato and the Akatsuki Organization couldn't deal with Jiraiya either because Jiraiya still bore the responsibility of endorsing Akihara Kagura to become the Hokage of Konoha Village.

Once Jiraiya is dealt with...

If Akihara Kagura cannot become Hokage, what if he goes mad and backstabs the Akatsuki Organization? After all, most of the Akatsuki members are former opponents defeated by Akihara Kagura...

As long as Akihara Kagura hasn't become Hokage, the matter of how to deal with Jiraiya will remain unresolved, as the Akatsuki Organization can simply avoid him.

Besides...

Without the help of Akihara Kagura, Jiraiya truly couldn't find any traces of the Akatsuki Organization and could only wander aimlessly in the Ninja World, enjoying a fallen lifestyle.

At this time, Konoha sent him news of Orochimaru's appearance, reminding Jiraiya of Orochimaru's former involvement with the Akatsuki Organization, so he promptly returned to Konoha to try and get information from Orochimaru.

As a result, the Great Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku summoned him and told Jiraiya that perhaps Nagato isn't the child of destiny, and a new hope may arise.

This truly made one feel despondent...

Jiraiya felt that he was about to embark on a new journey, so he decided to return to Konoha first to see if he could gather any information on the Akatsuki Organization by keeping tabs on Orochimaru. Once he had information on the Akatsuki Organization, he'd meet Nagato again to confirm whether he truly was the child of destiny.

In the end.

Orochimaru hadn't been caught yet.

Jiraiya, however, was caught by another young kid.

On the first day of returning to Konoha, he happened to encounter Naruto Uzumaki, who used the Sexy Jutsu to lure him in.

While assisting Naruto Uzumaki in his training, Jiraiya discovered that Naruto had a Five Elements Seal placed by Orochimaru and casually helped the young fellow remove the seal.

During this period...

Jiraiya realized the value within this little guy, Naruto Uzumaki. This child is stubborn in his actions and never knows when to give up. Plus, Naruto's father, Namikaze Minato, also left some things on Mount Myoboku, so Jiraiya tried teaching him a Summoning Jutsu.

Unfortunately, Naruto Uzumaki's performance was somewhat disappointing.

This brat actually summoned a tadpole!

"Completely talentless."

Jiraiya looked down at the tadpole that Naruto Uzumaki summoned and deeply felt the gap between genius and dunce: "The last person who practiced a Summoning Jutsu directly summoned the highest-ranked Great Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku..."

"Eh? You mean Kagura?"

Naruto Uzumaki recalled seeing the name on the Summoning Contract Scroll and rubbed the back of his head, not surprised at all: "Kagura is indeed super strong!"

"..."

Jiraiya pondered for a while and found he couldn't deny it. That disciple was indeed powerful, although he frequently caused trouble, he was someone any teacher would be proud of.

"You better keep on training!"

Thinking of this, Jiraiya knocked Naruto Uzumaki on the head with force: "Until you summon a frog! Don't embarrass me!"

"The Pervy Sage thinks there's such a thing..."

Naruto Uzumaki frowned with a face of confusion.

Inside the Hokage Tower.

Akihara Kagura, mentioned by Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki, was having a meeting.

Due to Orochimaru's appearance in the Forest of Death during the second round of the Chunin exams, this matter was too significant for Konoha's leadership to ignore this S-Class Traitorous Ninja.

After all...

Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo were known allies all across the Ninja World.

Orochimaru's appearance in Konoha Village often meant that another S-Class Traitorous Ninja, Shimura Danzo, could possibly be lurking behind, ready to appear.

Kakashi Hatake had personally witnessed Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu in the Land of Waves and had seen some of the Double Bloodline Ninjas created by Shimura Danzo.

Kakashi Hatake glanced at Akihara Kagura and voluntarily spoke up: "Although Kagura's strength is formidable, he still cannot overlook the troubles caused by these two S-Class Traitorous Ninjas..."

"Orochimaru could reanimate the First Hokage and Second Hokage, and Shimura Danzo's forces have more than fifty Double Bloodline Ninjas..."

"Indeed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen furrowed his brows, clearly aware of the issues these two individuals posed: "Either of them alone is enough to easily destroy a small country, and even pose a revolutionary threat to Great Country Ninja Villages..."

To be honest.

Luckily, Konoha has Akihara Kagura as a pillar of support.

Otherwise, if Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo led their forces into Konoha, it could very likely result in a catastrophic disaster.

"Right now, our most crucial problem is whether to investigate if these allied countries participating in the Chunin exams have any collusions with them..."

"No need to worry, right?"

"They all have treaties with Konoha..."

"Treaties are just ineffective verbal agreements..."

Kakashi Hatake didn't trust these allied countries, as he had personally experienced the Ninja World War: "During the Ninja World War, it was just like this, these allies could potentially betray treaties at any moment, they're far from loyal as you imagine..."
