"No news? This shouldn't be the case. His teacher died in the battle, so it's fine if he doesn't come back to take a look. It's the Ninja War now, and he doesn't even send a message back. Is that guy planning to become a traitor?"

After talking, Jie put down the document in his hand full of doubts, and looked up at Zhuyuan.

Takehara pondered for a few breaths and hesitated: "This... Lord Jiraiya's whereabouts have always been elusive. Maybe he is in some no-man's land."

Jie shook his head decisively: "Impossible. There has been no news for several years. This is not Jiraiya's style. I ordered people to check the place where he last appeared. I suspect that he must have encountered some difficulties or even encountered an accident."

Takehara said in surprise: "With Jiraiya-sama's strength and identity, in the ninja world..."

Jie waved his hand to interrupt him: "It's always right to pay more attention. There are far more powerful people in the world than you think."

While speaking, the figure of Nagato appeared in Suke's mind. Jiraiya shouldn't have fallen into Nagato's hand, right?

Most likely not. Although the Akatsuki organization acts secretly, it will inevitably have to perform certain tasks.

Orochimaru is very aware of his importance to Suke. If he is exposed at all, there will definitely be an endless pursuit. With the power of the Akatsuki organization, there is no way he can be saved.

And the Akatsuki organization is not that stupid. It would be a minor trouble to bring a troublesome guy into the organization, but it is a behemoth like Konoha, which is harmful rather than beneficial to them.

If Orochimaru had not joined Akatsuki, then with Akatsuki's low-key and unobtrusive style, Jiraiya should have no reason to notice them, and naturally he would not attract Nagato's attention.

Miaomu Mountain, what did the Sage of Six Paths want to tell him? Is it the prophecy of the big toad? Or maybe there are some unknown secrets.

After thinking about it, Suke temporarily gave up asking Minato to take him to Mt. Myoboku.

To the big toad, Minato was just a young boy, and he didn't know many secrets. The key was that the war was taking place at this time, Minato was not in the village, and he didn't have any extra time to study these.

A few days later, in Hope City, a piece of news spread in a very short period of time.

In front of a grocery stall, a man dressed as a civilian husband whispered to the two people around him: "Have you heard that the sand ninja hero Ye Cang, who has been missing for many years, is not dead, but is imprisoned by the Konoha ninja. Now the Konoha ninjas have decided to publicly execute her in order to scare the coalition forces."

The thin man rolled his eyes: "I guess the Konoha ninjas must have felt threatened, otherwise they wouldn't have used such a thing to frighten the coalition forces."

The stall owner beside him nodded in agreement and said: "I think so too. You think Ye Cang is a big shot of Suna Ninja. As long as the Konoha Ninja puts forward conditions, the Suna Ninja will never give up on Ye Cang no matter what."

"Now, for a little bit of morale, I decided to publicly execute Ye Cang. If I didn't feel the crisis, there is no reason to do so."

The man asked enthusiastically: "Then you say, will Sand Shinobi go to the rescue?"

The thin man shook his head: "Rescue! Don't be ridiculous, that is Konoha's base camp. If we really had the ability to rescue it, then the countries wouldn't have formed an alliance and fought for so long."

The man wondered: "Isn't it possible to rely on the power of the coalition forces?"

The stall owner interrupted disdainfully: "Who would be willing to take such a risk for a person from another country?"

The man shook his head: "Maybe, we can't understand the thoughts of the ninjas." Ye Ye Chinese

The thin man curled his lips indifferently: "No matter what he thinks, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. I heard that our grocery store somehow got a batch of high-end cameras from the Kingdom of Rainbow?"

"I'm just going to see if I can get a batch at a cheaper price and make some money from my business. Would you like to join me? If we want more, maybe the price can be lower."

The stall owner's eyes lit up: "Products from the Kingdom of Rainbow! That's a banned item. Can you really get it?"

The thin man snickered: "This is still fake. The goods are all back. They are all brand new. They are definitely not the second-hand defective products we saw before."

Hearing this, the stall owner hurriedly got up: "Together, together, the boutiques of the two countries of Hongchuan are famous all over the world, and there is nothing that cannot be sold if you can get it. As long as you work hard, it will definitely be a big price."

The man hesitated and said: "I heard that things from the Rainbow Kingdom are very expensive. Can we afford them with our wealth?"

The thin man patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lian's family is easy to talk to. Aren't you planning to go on a trip? Then why not give the house to Lian's family."

"That way, you don't have to pay. When the goods are sold out, you can come back and pay back the money."

"Mortgage the house!" After hesitating for a while, the man sighed: "Well, anyway, there is nothing to make a living recently, so it's good to go for a break, anyway, there is no war here, maybe we will still be here." You can take the opportunity to make a fortune from it.”

"By the way, you also want to mortgage the house? I heard that some time ago, Lingtang spent a lot of money on medical treatment."

Hearing this, the skinny man had a bitter face: "It's really not a waste of money. The damn Erlang's family is not seriously ill at all. They actually asked me for 500 million taels, my half-life savings."

"I have no money to begin with, and my house is not worth much at all, so not only the house, but also the land next to the oasis has to be mortgaged."

Hearing this, the man's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

The stall owner couldn't help but exclaimed: "What, that piece of land is worth tens of millions, you really..."

The thin man sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. I have to go out and try my luck anyway, so after much thought, I decided to mortgage the land first. I don't have time to take care of it since I'm not around."

"In the final analysis, it is forced by life. In fact, sometimes, I really hope that the Fire Nation can take over here, so that, at least, we can live a little bit more."

The man's face tightened, he quickly turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice, "Careful, I heard that the ninjas have been investigating very closely recently. If someone hears such words, they will be regarded as spies."

The thin man looked angrily: "T-What are you afraid of? It's obvious."

"Although the Land of Fire is martial and the status of civilians is very low, at least people will distribute supplies on a regular basis so that people will not starve to death. Unlike us, it is obviously a desert, but we still have to control supplies."

"Knowing that you can't buy anything, you still have to exchange all the rewards into money. Even a little fresh water needs to be found by yourself..."

The stall owner interrupted: "Hey, don't tell me, I heard that the control has been relaxed recently, and many countries will be able to establish trade with this place in the future, and life will get better and better."

The man was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

The stall owner quickly waved his hand: "It's good for you to know, but don't talk nonsense. My relative overheard this. The ninjas haven't made it public yet."

The two of them looked happy, lowered their voices and exclaimed: "Hey, is that ninja relative! That can't be wrong."
