Chapter 59: The sudden appearance of the Misty Island Sea Mission!
"Jiraiya-sama!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya suspected!
The person behind the partition, gorging himself and occasionally making strange noises, was none other than Jiraiya!
"Eh!"
"It's you two brats! What are you doing here!"
Jiraiya clearly had some impression of Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto!
As for Aburame Mokujin, he was ruthlessly ignored by Jiraiya!
"We're here on a mission!"
"What about you, Jiraiya-sama!"
"As a Konoha Elite Jonin, why are you here?"
"Don't tell me you're using the excuse of a mission to come here and relax!"
Looking at the various sushi dishes in front of Jiraiya, Fujiwara Tetsuya's body paused slightly!
This was the advantage of an Elite Ninja!
They had a large number of A-rank and S-rank missions!
They were never short on money!
Unlike him, a mere Chunin, who was pitifully poor!
"Brat! What kind of look is that?"
"How can you doubt the valiant and magnificent, extraordinary Jiraiya-sama!"
Jiraiya originally wanted to continue saying something!
However!
After noticing the same look in Uchiha Mikoto's and Aburame Mokujin's eyes, his mouth twitched!
He instantly lost his demeanor as a strong individual!
Are the Konoha brats all so precocious now!
"You brats! You're really not cute!"
"Jiraiya-sama, just like you, is here in Land of Whirlpools on a mission!"
"Oh!"
"For a strong individual like Jiraiya-sama to make a special trip, this mission must not be simple! It must be an S-rank mission, right!"
For the strong, the weak generally have a blind admiration!
While Fujiwara Tetsuya was guessing the mission Jiraiya was on, Uzumaki Heiji and Uzumaki Meika squeezed over directly!
Their eyes sparkling, they continuously looked at Jiraiya!
"Uzumaki Clan brats, huh!"
"You two are much cuter than these three brats!"
"That's right! Jiraiya-sama, I am indeed here in Land of Whirlpools on an S-rank mission!"
Indeed!
Sometimes steady, sometimes erratic, at his core, he was still a carefree fellow!
"Cough!"
"Jiraiya-sama! Don't forget the Ninja Code!"
Watching Jiraiya gradually lose himself in the admiration of Uzumaki Heiji and Uzumaki Meika, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but remind him!
"Hahaha! Tetsuya brat! Thanks for the reminder!"
"However! Rules like that, as long as they don't go against our Ninja Way, can be changed according to the situation!"
Listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two also perked up their ears!
The content of the mission was somewhat related to Fujiwara Tetsuya's guess!
Jiraiya's trip to Land of Whirlpools this time was to investigate the mastermind behind the continuous attacks on Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki Clan during this period!
If he could solve it easily, that would be for the best!
If not, informing Uzumaki Ashina of the intelligence he gathered would also count as completing the mission!
However!
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze shifted slightly!
The forces behind the Land of Whirlpools incident were far from just one!
For Jiraiya to thoroughly investigate, it might not be that simple!
Presumably, Jiraiya was aware of this, which was why he had the leisure to relax in this sushi restaurant!
After leaving the sushi restaurant, Uzumaki Heiji and Uzumaki Meika then led Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two to wander around Whirlpool Village!
It wasn't until evening that Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Aburame Mokujin finally returned to their lodging.
"Jiraiya-sama! What are you doing here!"
The same question, but in a different location!
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two opened their room door, Jiraiya, with a proper expression, was sitting on the floor with Jonin Shinwa, rather seriously sipping tea that he had found from who knows where!
"That remark is a bit too formal, you brats!"
"After all, we are Ninja from the same village! And I am your elder!"
"Shouldn't you always have a look of pleasant surprise when you see me!"
Even in front of Jonin Shinwa, who was also a Jonin, Jiraiya's air of superiority remained completely uncontained!
Looking at Jonin Shinwa's calm expression, Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly had a premonition!
Konoha Village!
Perhaps they wouldn't be able to return for a while!
"Alright! Thirteenth Squad brats! I won't tease you anymore!"
"I'm here this time to ask for your Thirteenth Squad's help!"
"In the sea area of Mist Island, not far east of Land of Whirlpools, I found some clues that Hidden Mist Village Ninja might be plotting something!"
"So, I need the Thirteenth Squad to come with me to Mist Island for a trip! To assist me in thwarting Hidden Mist Village's conspiracy against Land of Whirlpools!"
"Jiraiya-sama! Please forgive me for asking a blunt question!"
"For such an urgent matter, shouldn't you inform the leader of Whirlpool Village and ask Whirlpool Village to send strong individuals to assist?"
"Why do you insist on involving our Thirteenth Squad?"
Something that could trouble a strong individual like Jiraiya, who had one foot in the Kage-level, would at least involve Elite Jonin or even higher-level combat!
For such a matter, not to mention him, Uchiha Mikoto, and Aburame Mokujin, even a veteran Jonin like Jonin Shinwa would have to carefully consider it!
Rushing into it impulsively was definitely not the right choice!
"What a keen brat!"
"Not only is your strength outstanding, but your intelligence also far surpasses brats your age!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya, I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"
"Please don't say such misleading things!"
"Jiraiya-sama! Please answer my question!"
Dodging Jiraiya's left hand, which had touched who knows how much oil, Fujiwara Tetsuya's tone gradually became serious!
Matters of life and death were not so easily dismissed!
"Alright! Then I'll tell you the reason!"
"Currently, Land of Whirlpools and Whirlpool Village have been targeted by multiple forces working together!"
"Any powerful Whirlpool Village Ninja has already been secretly monitored!"
"If I were to ask Whirlpool Village for help, the matter of going to investigate the Mist Island sea area would inevitably be exposed to some people, and the final result!"
"At best, we would gain nothing! At worst... all the Ninja, including myself, who go to the Mist Island sea area, would fall into Hidden Mist Village's trap!"
"This is why I came to you!"
"After all, with Jonin Shinwa's strength, plus you three brats, the Thirteenth Squad is considered outstanding even among Konoha's many squads."
"So! I've already explained the reason!"
"Brats, it's time for you to give me your answer! Will you assist me?"
Looking at Jiraiya's serious expression, not to mention Aburame Mokujin, even Uchiha Mikoto was somewhat moved!
However, she moved her lips but ultimately didn't directly reply!
She simply looked towards Fujiwara Tetsuya!
