Even though we haven't seen each other for many years.
However, Jiraiya recognized the other person at first glance.
After receiving confirmation from Konan, Jiraiya excitedly stood up and asked, "Konan, where are Nagato and Yahiko?"
"Jiraiya-sensei, they're all dead," Konan replied bitterly.
Then.
Konan told Jiraiya everything that had happened since he left, and that Jiraiya was now her only family member, so she didn't hide anything from him.
Jiraiya's expression changed countless times after hearing this.
Sometimes solemn.
Sometimes I feel regret.
Sometimes with pity.
Jiraiya finally sighed deeply and said, "Since the Hokage has brought you back to Konoha, it means he approves of you and trusts you. From now on, treat this place as your home."
"And another thing!" Jiraiya stared intently at Konan and said, "If you dare to do anything to harm Konoha, I will definitely not let you off."
Given the other party's criminal record, Jiraiya also gave him a warning.
Xiao Nan nodded emphatically.
Her only goal now is to kill Obito and avenge Nagato and the others.
After the master and disciple recognized each other, Genba and Tsunade did not disturb each other and left the tavern together.
I'll be away for two or three days.
Upon seeing Genba enter the office, Nami exclaimed with delight and asked, "Nami, has anything important come up lately?"
After a moment's thought, Nami said, "Advisor Shikaku has come to see you several times these past few days."
"Oh?" Xuan Ye raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Have him come to me."
Ten minutes later.
Shikaku, his face filled with anxiety, went to Genba's office and said, "Lord Hokage, according to reliable information from our village's dispatched ninjas, the Hidden Lightning Village, the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Stone Village, and the Hidden Sand Village have secretly formed an alliance and plan to attack our Konoha."
Xuan Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous curve, and he said, "Why would Cloud Village and Mist Village agree?"
Because of Yugito, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure has remained good.
As for the conflict with Wuying Village, there was no major conflict.
This made Xuan Ye suspicious.
Shikaku smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps it's because Konoha is too powerful, so every village fears us and has no choice but to form an alliance to resist Konoha."
Shrugging, Genye indicated that he didn't care and said, "Tell the village ninjas to be careful, and have the reconnaissance teams keep a close eye on the other four villages. Report to me immediately if there is any emergency."
"I accept the order." After reporting, Lu Jiu left.
After the other party left, Xuan Ye leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest. He was feeling a little irritable as he faced threats from multiple sides.
Obito, the Four Great Hidden Villages, Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myoboku, the future Otsutsuki clan, Toneri on the moon—these are all troublesome.
Seeing how tired Gen-ye was, Nami felt sorry for him. She placed a steaming cup of jasmine tea in front of Gen-ye, then came behind him and gently massaged his temples with her fair fingers.
The technique was very gentle.
Very comfortable.
...
Mt. Miaomu.
After learning from Konan about the tragic deaths of Nagato and Yahiko, Jiraiya has been in a very bad mood these past few days.
Just as he was about to head to a romantic place to relax, he was suddenly summoned by Fukasaku and Shima using "Reverse Summoning Jutsu".
Jiraiya looked at the two frogs and said unhappily, "I wonder what business the two immortals have with me?"
Master Shima's voice was still very sharp as he said, "It's the Great Toad Master looking for you!"
"The Great Toad Sage is looking for me?" Jiraiya was slightly confused, but then he realized that it might be because the search for the Child of the Ninja World had not made any progress, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing Jiraiya's appearance, the observant Fukasaku realized that the other was in a bad mood, so he exclaimed, "Jiraiya, what's wrong with you? Did your advances not go well, and that's why you look so dejected?"
Jiraiya's lips twitched, and then he said, "Two immortals, is my image in your eyes really that bad?"
“Yes.” The two immortals said in unison.
"Hehe..." Jiraiya chuckled without saying a word.
One person and two frogs walked deeper into the palace of Mount Myoboku.
Upon entering the palace, they found the Great Toad Sage still slumped listlessly on the enormous cushion.
Feeling very comfortable, it looked at Jiraiya and said, "Little Jiraiya, it's been a long time."
The tone was drawn out, as if the voice was weak and listless.
"Greetings, Great Toad Sage!" Jiraiya clasped his hands in greeting, then, with an embarrassed expression, said, "Great Toad Sage, Child of the Ninja World, and Child of Destiny—I haven't found them!"
Gamamaru rolled his eyes in exasperation and said, "Little Jiraiya, you're probably so engrossed in beautiful women that you don't care at all about what I asked you to do!"
"Enough, enough. I recently had a dream that made me realize that the chosen one of the ninja world is right here in your Konoha!"
"And perhaps it's the Uchiha!"
Gamamaru recently had another dream, which gave him some insights and allowed him to acquire more information.
Upon hearing these words, Jiraiya felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
Since the Great Toad Sage said so.
It meets the standards.
Only Gen-no-Ye.
Moreover, Genba's growth process is similar to that of the ninja world's chosen ones.
The Great Toad Sage said, "Bring him to Mount Myōboku; I have something to discuss with him."
Jiraiya nodded and then bid farewell to Mount Myōboku.
Upon returning to Konoha, Jiraiya immediately went to the Hokage's office to look for Genba, but found no one there. Instead, he ended up finding him at the Uchiha's residence.
"Lord Jiraiya, what brings you here?" Genye looked up and asked softly when he saw the other person.
Jiraiya replied, "Lord Hokage, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku requests your presence."
Fearing that Genyo might not be aware of the specifics, Jiraiya even introduced Mount Myōboku and Gamamaru, among others. However, after listening, Genyo coldly and directly stated, "I'm not going!"
Genye remained extremely wary of the giant toad on Mount Myōboku, fearing what it might do to him if he ventured into someone else's territory.
Moreover, given the opponent's millennia-long history and numerous trump cards, Xuan Ye wasn't arrogant enough to be that overconfident; it was better to remain cautious.
"Lord Hokage, you..." Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised by Genba's decisive refusal, and he was somewhat lost in thought.
"Lord Jiraiya, you don't need to say anything more. I will not agree to go to Mount Myōboku together!" Genba reiterated his attitude, and Jiraiya sighed deeply after hearing this.
Jiraiya was very efficient.
He quickly returned to Mount Myōboku, looked at the Great Toad Sage, and said, "Great Toad Sage, I have found the Child of the Ninja World you spoke of, but he is unwilling to come to Mount Myōboku!"
He gave a wry smile, his words filled with helplessness.
Moreover, Xuan Ye's strength is that great.
We can't just force it, can we?
That's just courting death!
After hearing Jiraiya explain his intentions, Gamamaru's eyes began to open slightly, and he still drawled out, "Since he refuses to come to our Mount Myōboku, then let us go to Konoha!"
"Great Toad Sage, you're going to Konoha?" Jiraiya was shocked. Ever since he made a pact with Mount Myōboku when he was young, the Great Toad Sage had never left the palace.
Now, for the sake of Genba, he actually took the initiative to leave and go to Konoha, which surprised everyone.
Jiraiya frowned, then said, "Great Toad Sage, your status is too high, this is not appropriate."
"It's alright!" Gamamaru waved his hand, then continued, "Just help me make an appointment with the chosen one!"
Since Gamamaru had given such instructions, Jiraiya knew he had no choice but to prepare accordingly.
To Genye's surprise, instead of going to Mount Myōboku, Gamamaru came to him.
Outside the Leaf Forest.
A huge frog leaned against a giant tree, its skin wrinkled and weak, looking as if one foot was about to sink into the earth.
Beside him are Fukasaku, Shima, and Jiraiya.
When Gamamaru saw Genba, its eyelids twitched, and it sensed a tremendous power emanating from the latter.
At the same time, an ominous feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
This must be the ninja child I've been searching for!
Gamamaru spoke, his tone still drawn out, "You are the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Genba, right? I am Gamamaru from Mount Myōboku!"
Jiraiya, standing nearby, added, "This is the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"
Xuan Ye looked at the other person and felt that the other person contained enormous power within him. He looked old, but in fact, his power was immense.
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Greetings, Great Toad Immortal. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"Lord Hokage, there's no need for such formalities. I encountered a chosen one of the ninja world in my dream, and based on my deductions, it must be you. My purpose in coming here is simple: I hope you can protect the ninja world."
Genye replied, "Great Toad Sage, you think too highly of me. The ninja world is too vast. It's already quite an achievement that I can protect Konoha. Protecting the entire ninja world is far too difficult for me. Please seek another position!"
Genye refused outright, saying that no matter what kind of ninja child one was, managing one's own territory was the most important thing.
Moreover, who knows if the other party is using you as a shield? It's utterly ridiculous.
The Great Toad Sage didn't seem to care about Xuan Ye's refusal. It said, "You may not know how important and glorious this mission is now, but you will in the future. Let's go back first!"
With a loud bang.
Gamamaru and the others returned to Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya also returned with them.
After returning, Gamamaru's wrinkled face gradually darkened. Even Fukasaku and Shima had never seen him like this before, and they didn't dare to speak, just standing quietly to the side.
Jiraiya also realized this and fell silent.
After a while.
Gamamaru said, "Uchiha Genba is a power we cannot control. He might do something detrimental to our Mount Myōboku. We must be on guard."
"If given the chance, for the sake of the ninja world, I will eliminate them!"

When Jiraiya heard Gamamaru's words, he was very shocked and said, "Great Toad Sage, Genba has made many contributions to protecting Konoha, and he cares about the ninja world. We, Mount Myōboku, cannot harm him."
“Jiraiya, your eyes have been blinded by the filth of the world.” Gamamaru shook his head slightly, drawing out his words, and continued, “We cannot let him rebuild the order of the ninja world.”
After this initial meeting...
Gamamaru realized that Genba was in great danger.
Since the other party cannot be used by Mount Myōboku.
The best way.
It means to eliminate.
Just as Jiraiya was about to continue...
Gamamaru waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Jiraiya, you need to know your place. You need to think clearly about who your ninjutsu and sage techniques came from. Who made you grow from an ordinary boy into one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha?"
Towards the end.
Gamamaru's eyes narrowed, and his expression grew colder.
Just as Jiraiya was about to continue speaking up for Genba, Fukasaku quickly interrupted him, saying, "Jiraiya, go back and think it over carefully. The Great Toad's idea is not wrong."
Jiraiya was speechless and could only nod repeatedly.
