Chapter 496 Pre-war meeting
Jiraiya sighed while watching the young Konohamaru playing with the waves hitting the shore.
Once upon a time, I must have been as carefree as him.
"The more you know, the more painful it becomes..." Jiraiya murmured in a voice that could only be heard by himself.
Seeing that Jiraiya was not playing with him, Konohamaru didn't know anything and ran over and took Jiraiya's hand: "Jiraiya-sensei, what are you doing? Didn't you agree that you would play with me today? ?”
"Haha, sorry, sorry..."
Jiraiya's perfunctory attitude made Konohamaru pout, turn his head, and pretend to be angry: "You don't have any sincerity at all, I will ignore you."
After all, it was his fault first, so Jiraiya was at a loss: "Then what do you need to do to forgive me?"
"Unless..." Konohamaru raised his eyes and prolonged the tone, and said smartly: "You teach me ninjutsu."
Jiraiya was in trouble, he didn't really want Konohamaru to learn ninjutsu.
It's not that he's hiding it, but Konohamaru has learned ninjutsu. When he grows up, he might hear some news and feel revenge.
Putting aside other factors, this enemy is an enemy that Konohamaru cannot defeat even if he spends his entire life.
Once that guy realizes that he has this intention, he will definitely not show mercy, even if he pleads for mercy, it will be useless.
Jiraiya coaxed: "Why do you have to learn ninjutsu? Isn't it nice to be an ordinary person?"
"What's the point of being a normal person? I want to be a ninja like you."
It had been three years since he had been with Jiraiya. On the road, Konohamaru had more or less heard others mention how great his master was.
Jiraiya remained silent.
Konohamaru was young, but not stupid. He said suspiciously, "Is it possible that Mr. Jiraiya is hiding something from me?"
If he continues to shirk it, Konohamaru will become suspicious... Jiraiya pretends to smile and prevaricates: "How could it be possible? I'm just afraid that you will be easily injured as a ninja."
"No way." Konohamaru was determined.
Jiraiya said helplessly: "Okay..."
"Great……"
"But let me explain in advance, being a ninja is very hard. If you give up halfway, don't blame me for not teaching you."
Jiraiya thought that he must set up the most stringent training for Konohamaru so that he could quit when the time comes, and Konohamaru wouldn't be able to say anything at that time.
What he expected from Konohamaru was to be an ordinary person, marry a wife, have children, and live out his life honestly.
"I will never give up." Konohamaru promised with confidence, patting his hands.
Jiraiya pointed to the creek in front of him: "You should turn back and run along this creek first."
The length of this stream is about one thousand meters, which is really difficult for Konohamaru who is of his age and has not received any training.
Konohamaru was not intimidated by the difficulties before him: "Okay."
Jiraiya added: "Ten times..."
"???"
Konohamaru opened his eyes wide and said in shock: Jiraiya, teacher, are you kidding me? "
Jiraiya put away his usual playful smile and said seriously: "No, this is a ninja. If you can't even endure this little hardship, then I advise you to give up subtlety as soon as possible. Ninjas are not just fooling around, and you will lose it if you are not careful. life."
Konohamaru's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He gritted his back molars and said: "Run away, who is afraid of whom, hum..."
After saying that, Konohamaru spread his short legs and ran towards the stream.
Seeing Konohamaru running further and further away, Jiraiya shook his head, planning in his mind how to defeat Konohamaru.
At this time, he was startled and glanced over his shoulder.
There was a white-haired young man in his sight. Because they were familiar with each other, the other person did not deliberately hide his aura.
"You came……"
Because he had said hello in advance, Jiraiya knew the purpose of the other party's visit and was not surprised.
"Yes, I'm coming."
Aoki looked behind Jiraiya and narrowed his eyes: "Are you starting to teach him ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya shook his head and explained: "I just want him to back off."
Qing Zhi shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it to heart: "It doesn't matter, just teach me what you want."
"..."
Qing Pheasant changed the topic: "How did you think about my last request?"
Aokiji approached Jiraiya to ask him to join his side.
"I have no reason to refuse, right?"
Jiraiya sighed: "However, I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"If Konohamaru does something excessive in the future, I hope you can look at my face and let him go."
"No."
Qingzhi flatly refused: "You only have one life, and I can't use the lives of my people as a bet."
If Konohamaru knew the inside story when he grew up, who knows whether he would attack his own helpless tribesmen first.
Jiraiya fell silent because he couldn't refute.
Seeing Jiraiya's depressed look, Aokiji knew that his goal had been achieved.
To give the other person despair first, and then to give them hope is a common method of persuading people.
"But I could have avoided all of this."
Jiraiya was stunned: "What?"
"I will use the Sharingan to delete all his memories, and then arrange for him to become a young master in a wealthy family, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life."
"Including me?"
"Of course, since we are going to do it, we must do it thoroughly."
Qing Pheasant's voice was unmistakable: "Hesitating and hesitating, cutting constantly, and the reasoning remains chaotic."
Jiraiya slowly closed his eyes, and after some careful consideration, he reluctantly accepted the proposal.
Qingzhi stretched out his hand and issued a sincere invitation: "Come back to me, and we will be just like we were in the past."
After several years of accumulation, and as the country of Fire got better and better, Jiraiya more or less accepted it, but there was still a gap in his heart, so he declined the proposal politely: "Forget it, I am a wandering wild crane. I’m used to it…”
Qing Pheasant does not force things, but haste makes waste: "I will wait..."
……
……
On the other side, the pre-war meeting.
The Five Shadows gathered together and sat around a table to discuss how to deal with Uchiha Madara.
But it was said to be a discussion, but in fact there was nothing to discuss.
It was nothing more than cutting down the sacred tree of heaven.
Of course, the premise is that you can defeat the guardian of the sacred tree.
As Tsunade, the attendant of the Hokage, Aoki looked around at the people present.
There was not much damage on Konoha and Kirigakure's side.
Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure were very miserable, and they were almost killed by Uchiha Madara in the Kage level battle.
Among them is the reason why they blocked Uchiha Madara from taking the tailed beast, and also the reason why Aokiji secretly gave him instructions.
The current shadows have reached the next generation.
Raikage, Darui, the right-hand man of the original Fourth Raikage,
Tsuchikage: The original five jinchūriki, Han, escaped because the tailed beast was taken away by Aokiji.
The first two are still young and strong, but the situation in Sunagakure Village is miserable. There is really no one to recruit, so we can only let the elderly Ebizo take charge.
"I must have made it very clear in my letter when I called everyone here this time."
Tsunade, as the host, began to speak.
The other figures nodded to show their attitude.
"Have you Konoha found a way to deal with that guy on the other side?"
Han, who had already assumed the role of Tsuchikage, automatically ignored the others present.
He is the one who has faced the powerful Uchiha Madara.
After barely holding on for a second, the Third Tsuchikage was instantly killed by Uchiha Madara.
If it weren't for the fact that the tailed beast in his body had already been taken away by Aoki Pheasant, he might have suffered the fate of his good friend Lao Zi.
To a certain extent, he also wanted to thank Aokiji for taking away the tailed beast from his body so that he could avoid this disaster.
After all, they are allies, and Tsunade is not satisfied with everyone's general explanation of the skill mechanism of the Rinnebian Prison.
The shadows present heard the hidden meaning of the words: "In other words, you Konoha have obtained the reincarnation eye, or the same level of power?"
Having said that, he couldn't help but look at Qing Zhi. He was the only one with such eyes.
The golden kaleidoscope Sharingan appeared in Aoki's eyes: "It can be understood..."
Mangekyō Sharingan?
No, there is a difference in color.
This was the first time for the people present to see the Mangekyo Sharingan of this color.
Everyone present was happy, but soon became gloomy.
There is almost no damage to Konoha's combat power, and Aokiji's strength is even higher. If this battle can really be won, it will really be a question of whether Konoha wants to unify the world or not.
Fortunately, Qing Zhi was resurrected with his lover and lost his ambition.
Based on past experiences, everyone present was thinking happily.
At this time, Qing Pheasant felt that it was necessary to pour cold water on them at the right time:
"However, even if I have this power, it is still difficult to defeat Uchiha Madara. Putting aside Uchiha Madara's personal invincible strength, don't forget that he has many powerful subordinates attached to him, so... …”
Han answered: "So?"
"I hope you will bring the corpses of the strong men in the village to our side for reincarnation."
