The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Late at night, at Jiraiya's house.

Jiraiya sat in front of the desk, looking at the pile of white papers on the table with a bored look on his face.

These white papers were placed very messily. There were only a few lines of words written on them, and there were scratches on the words.

The trash can at his feet was already filled with waste paper.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Jiraiya put his elbows on the table and scratched his head vigorously with both hands, as if he wanted to pull all his hair out.

After a moment, he stopped and turned to look out the window.

It was late at night now, it was dark outside and the streets were deserted.

"Is it so late already?" Jiraiya turned back and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and found that it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. A wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

After the day's celebration party, he went directly back to his home, then picked up his pen and began to write the follow-up plot of "The Legend of Perseverance".

But what made Jiraiya helpless was that, just like before, he still had no inspiration. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to write the subsequent plot.

What he reluctantly wrote was completely inconsistent with what he expected, so he could only tear it up and throw it in the trash.

Twelve hours have passed since he returned home at three o'clock in the afternoon, but he has made no progress at all.

Jiraiya said to himself: "Is it true that only by traveling around the ninja world can I figure out how to write the rest of the story?"

"But"

There was hesitation in his voice. Although he had already decided to travel around the ninja world, when it came time to leave, he still couldn't help but hesitate.

The ninja world is so big that it would take at least several years to travel through it. Although Konoha has the upper hand on the battlefield, the war is not over yet. Can he really just leave like this?

In the original book of Naruto, Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain because he sympathized with the plight of the three Nagatos, so he wanted to take care of them for a while and return to Konoha after they had some ability to survive.

In other words, he had no intention of staying in the Country of Rain for a long time from the beginning.

The reason why Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain for so long was because he accidentally discovered Nagato's Reincarnation Eye and therefore concluded that Nagato was the Child of Destiny. He wanted to teach the Child of Destiny, so he stayed there for three years.

Now the plot has changed because of Nagato's relationship. Jiraiya was not able to stay in the Country of Rain as before, but returned to Konoha with Orochimaru and Tsunade.

People have different thoughts in different situations. When he was in the Land of Rain, Jiraiya stayed there impulsively out of sympathy, but now that he was back in Konoha, how could he leave it so easily? A village at war.

However, if you don’t travel to the ninja world, what should you do with the follow-up of the novel? Even if the novel is not important, what about the Child of Destiny? According to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku, he will become the master of the Child of Destiny. If you don’t go Traveling through the ninja world, how can you find the child of destiny?

Jiraiya felt like there were two villains in his mind. One said that he should travel around the ninja world immediately to find the Child of Destiny, while the other said that he should stay in Konoha. As for the Child of Destiny, he could It won't be too late to look for him after the war is over.

The two thoughts collided with each other in Jiraiya's mind. After an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya got up and threw himself on the bed.

We can no longer hesitate like this.

Jiraiya already had a vague answer in his heart, but before making a decision, he still had to go somewhere.

............

Miaomu Mountain.

"Little Jiraiya, you asked me to use the counter-spiritual technique to bring you from Konoha Village to Myoboku Mountain. What's the matter?"

Fukasaku Sennin let go of his sealed hands, looked at Jiraiya who suddenly appeared in Myoboku Mountain, and asked in confusion.

Just now, Jiraiya summoned Fukasaku Sennin to Konoha using the art of channeling, saying that he was going to Mt. Myoboku, and asked Sage Fukasaku to use the art of reverse channeling to summon him there when he returned to Mt. Myoboku.

Mount Miaomu is far away from Konoha. Even at the speed of a ninja, it would take a month to reach it. But now, with the use of counter-spiritual techniques, one can reach here in an instant.

Jiraiya looked around and confirmed that he had arrived at Mt. Myoboku, and replied: "Lord Fukasaku, I came here this time to meet the Great Toad Sage."

"You want to see Grandpa?"

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded, "It's about the Child of Destiny. I have something I want to ask the Great Toad Sage carefully."

"Lord Fukasaku, can you take me to see the Great Toad Sage?"

Fukasaku thought for a while and nodded, "Is it related to Destiny Child? Okay, I understand. Come with me."

A few minutes later, Jiraiya followed Fukasaku Sage into a large hall in the center of Mount Miaomu, which was the residence of the Great Toad Sage.

After entering the main hall, the first thing you see is the big Toad Immortal sitting on the throne in the middle. His size is similar to that of Toad Bunta later. They are both heavyweight creatures like tailed beasts. Their huge bodies are as big as a hill.

At this moment, the Great Toad Immortal Immortal was sleeping on his back on the throne with his eyes closed.

"Oh, it's little Jiraiya, you're here."

There are two pillars on both sides of the throne of the Great Toad Sage. On the right pillar stands a small toad, which is Shima Sennin, the wife of Fukasaku Sage.

When she saw Jiraiya walking in, she immediately said enthusiastically: "By the way, little Jiraiya, I have recently developed a new kind of food. It is made from a rare kind of insect. It is very delicious." It’s delicious, do you want to try it?”

"Food made of insects." Jiraiya's face turned green all of a sudden, and he shook his head quickly without thinking, "Shima-sama, this, this is not necessary. I was really too full from what I had eaten in the morning. I’m afraid I’m going to die.”

"That's right." Shima Sennin shook his head regretfully, "I have no choice but to wait until next time to treat you to food."

"Huh, you escaped." Jiraiya let out a long breath in his heart.

He would never forget the meal that Sennin Shima cooked for him when he first came to Mt. Miaomu.

When he opened the pot lid with anticipation, what he saw was tangled and alive insects.

That scene made Jiraiya so nauseous that he couldn't eat any food for three days. From then on, he had a psychological shadow on Shima Sennin's cuisine.

"Grandpa-sama." Fukasaku Sennin jumped to the high platform on the left and shouted towards Big Toad Sento: "Grandpa-sama, please wake up. Little Jiraiya has something to ask you."

But the big toad sage seemed to be sleeping deeply, and Fukasaku called him several times, but he failed to wake him up.
