Chapter 1020: Investigation Mission in Amegakure
Chapter 1020: Investigation Mission in Amegakure
Upon seeing his teacher, who had returned from the dead, instead of feeling elated, he looked extremely enraged. Minato, for his part, was also utterly bewildered.
However, quickly piecing together the recent events in Konoha, the quick-witted Minato soon understood the reason for Jiraiya's anger. Without hesitation, he reached into his ninja tool bag and pulled out a specially crafted Wooden Kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Jiraiya's expression grew even more vigilant as he saw the wooden kunai.
What he didn't expect was that Minato didn't intend to attack with the kunai; instead, he directly stabbed his own finger with it.
As the red blood flowed out with the kunai's insertion, Minato promptly spoke, "Teacher Jiraiya, you should know that if it's an Edo Tensei ninja, there's no way they could have blood like this.
If you still don't believe that I'm Namikaze Minato, I can even use this blood to perform Summoning Technique. After all, no matter how one disguises themselves, the summoning contract won't deceive, right?"
Minato's self-proof made Jiraiya, who had been extremely vigilant towards him, become half-believing.
However, from his expression, it wasn't difficult to tell that he had largely believed that the Minato before him was real. But the ninja's unique vigilance and common sense made it fundamentally impossible for him to understand how Minato had truly achieved resurrection.
"Teacher Jiraiya, when you took me as your disciple, it was right when you were peeping... when you were gathering information.
And you once broke several of Tsunade-sama's ribs because of peeping, and even when Yachiyo was young, you used some tricks to deceive children and coax them into helping you peep at Tsunade-sama..."
Before Minato could finish his words, Jiraiya had already covered his mouth with his hand and furtively glanced around.
What he didn't know was that, on the other side of the Hokage Tower, a loud noise was heard, and the desk in front of Tsunade was kicked to pieces by her!
The Third Hokage had passed away, but he left behind many relics, including the crystal ball ninja tool that could remotely observe targets.
The old Third Hokage used this tool to observe the development of all the women in Konoha, and just for gathering information, it was obviously much more advanced than Jiraiya's methods.
After the Third Hokage's death, this crystal ball naturally ended up in Tsunade's possession.
Tsunade kept this crystal ball to monitor her disciple Yachiyo, to see if he was slacking off or doing things he shouldn't with the Daimyo's daughter.
Unfortunately, the crystal ball's observation range was limited, currently restricted to within Konoha Village.
Because she was concerned that the meeting between Minato and Jiraiya might cause trouble, she had just used the crystal ball to observe them.
What neither she nor Kushina beside her expected was that Jiraiya had done such a despicable thing in the past!
"No wonder when Yachiyo was still young, he always wanted to take a bath with me. It turns out it was that Jiraiya bastard who did it!"
"Teacher Jiraiya is indeed the Fourth Forbidden Technique of the Ninja. Minato actually hid this from me!"
"This won't do. From now on, when it comes to Naruto's guidance, I can't let Teacher Jiraiya have his way. What if the child is taught badly?"
In Kushina's view, if Teacher Jiraiya could deceive young Yachiyo into gathering information from Tsunade-sama, then couldn't he also do the same with Naruto? To prevent Teacher Jiraiya's toxic influence from corrupting her child, Kushina believed that Naruto must be kept away from Teacher Jiraiya from now on.
On the other side, Jiraiya was completely unaware that he had landed on the blacklists of two women. At this moment, he was still thrilled about his disciple's resurrection.
"That kid from Yecheng is a genius, I can't believe he's even developed such an incredible technique."
However, after hearing what you just said, I've more or less figured out who you're talking about.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, they were disciples I once took in from Amegakure. Among them, Nagato possesses the legendary Sage's Eye—the Rinnegan.
Because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, I once believed that he was the Child of Prophecy I was searching for. But looking at him now, it seems he's strayed onto the wrong path."
When Jiraiya mentioned that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, not only Minato but even Tsunade and Kushina, who were currently in front of the crystal ball, had their expressions turn solemn.
Because Yecheng was worried about the people important to him, if by some unlucky chance he suddenly encountered Nagato, then to prevent the tragedy of the Nine-Tails' rampage from happening again, Yecheng had recently shared a lot of knowledge about the Rinnegan with Tsunade and the others.
And it's precisely because they understood the power of the "Rinnegan" that Tsunade and the others felt uneasy at this moment.
This person who uses the "Rinnegan" is obviously the leader of the organization that was capturing the Tailed Beasts everywhere.
The power of the Rinnegan needs no further explanation. According to the intelligence gathered by Minato, the members of the organization known as 'Akatsuki' are almost all S-rank Missing-nin from various ninja villages.
Undeniably, both Minato and Jiraiya are strong, but even with their infiltration into the enemy's headquarters, it might not necessarily be safe.
"Tsunade-sama, why don't we call Yecheng back and have him accompany Minato and Jiraiya-sensei to Amegakure?"
"The latest news is that they're at the Daimyo's Residence! Let's go!"
As for that love-struck Daimyo's daughter, she wouldn't encounter any danger under normal circumstances. Just have Yecheng leave a shadow clone or something to fool her, right?"
Kushina's words made Tsunade pause for a moment. That's right, the Daimyo's daughter is interested in Yecheng's looks, not his strength. Leaving a shadow clone should be enough to handle most situations. Why keep their super combat power at the Daimyo's Residence to play house with that princess?
"Kushina, go to the Daimyo's Residence and secretly inform Yecheng about this. Also, casually tell him about Jiraiya and Minato's itinerary. With his speed, he should be able to catch up soon."
Kushina disappeared directly behind Tsunade. Considering the safety of her husband and his teacher, Kushina felt that she couldn't afford to be careless.
More than a decade ago, the Nine-Tails' rampage was enough to make them drink a pot of tea, let alone with so many S-rank Missing-nin.
To be honest, now that they've been resurrected and found their child, no matter what happens to the ninja world, Kushina doesn't really care. She just wants to live happily with her family.
But the key issue is that Minato's sense of responsibility is too strong. Even if they wanted to stay out of it, Naruto, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, has become the target of that 'Akatsuki' organization.
Although it sounds a bit strange, in the entire ninja world, the person who gives Kushina the most sense of security is not her husband, Namikaze Minato, but rather, someone like her little brother, Senju Yecheng.
And it's also because of this reason that whenever something happens, the first person Kushina thinks of is Yecheng, to consult with him or directly seek his assistance.
Don't ask why, it's because Yecheng is too reliable, and in Kushina's eyes, there's almost nothing Yecheng doesn't know or can't do!
