On the third day after the Uchiha brothers' battle, an earth-shattering event happened in Konoha:

`

Jiraiya also died.

`

Toad Sage Fukasaku-sama took his body back to Konoha with the toad boss Bunta, Gamakichi and other toads. It was early in the morning, and many people in Konoha were still asleep, including Naruto who knew nothing.

`

Naruto Tsunade's previous uneasiness was also realized. When she saw her friend lying on the scroll with blood on his body but a lifeless look on his face, she only felt despair.

`

Jiraiya went to Amegakure Village to detect the news about Akatsuki. The information was found successfully. He even killed four Pain who had the reincarnation eye and brought back the body of a Pain and the body of a ninja from Amegakure Village. , but the price was his own life.

`

All the weapons originally inserted into his body have been removed by Mr. Fukasaku and placed in a wooden box.

`

For fear of erasing any clues, Fukasaku-sama did not help Jiraiya clean up his body, but the scarred body always stung his heart, just because this child was the one they watched grow up.

`

The news has not been notified to Naruto yet, because there is still a very important matter that needs to be discussed with Tsunade, who is the Hokage.

`

There were only Fukasaku-sama, Tsunade, Kakashi and Sakura in the autopsy room, as well as Jiraiya's body covered with white cloth.

`

"We'll wait until Jiraiya-chan's disciples come here to explain the details. What I want to show you now is this." Mr. Fukasaku put down the wooden box he was holding, and then slowly opened it, "Jiraiya-chan When I saw the owner of this knife, I was also shocked, but asked me not to tell anyone about it. But when I saw that person gave little Jiraiya the last knife, I couldn't keep it a secret no matter what."

`

A pure white short knife, with a wooden pendant hanging quietly on the end of the handle.The cold blade was still stained with a lot of blood, and the bright red color became a little black due to the passage of time.

`

That wooden pendant is the word "wind". It was originally a very beautiful pendant, but after it was stained with blood, it always had a chilling feeling.

`

The most important thing is that the blood is Jiraiya's, it was pulled from Jiraiya's body

`

"" When they saw the short sword, Tsunade and the three of them shrank their pupils, with disbelief on their faces. They had seen this dagger many times, and they knew exactly who the owner of the dagger was.

`

"That's a little girl from the Sakura clan. There's an extra word on the place where the short sword was inserted." Toad Sage used his webbed to pull down the clothes from Jiraiya's collar to his heart. There was a clean and neat wounds and a blood-red forbidden word.

`

"I don't know what the relationship between that little girl and little Jiraiya is," Master Fukasaku sighed, and then looked at Jiraiya who had long since lost his life, "I don't know what this technique does, but I But he succeeded in letting the toad swallow little Jiraiya's body and brought him back."

`

Tsunade clenched her fists tightly and tried to calm herself down, because as Hokage, she could not lose her calm because of this, she had to be in charge of the overall situation.

`

Sakura pursed her lips tightly and looked at the bloody dagger with cold eyes, and her suspicions all along were confirmed. Mai once said that Ying Luofeng went to Amegakure Village, and Jiraiya was also killed in Amegakure Village at that time. In addition, Fukasaku-sama’s testimony and the short sword, and that Sakura Luofeng was with the Akatsuki members before entangled facts, then that is certain.

`

Sakura Luofeng is a member of the Akatsuki, and she must be approaching Naruto because of the Kyuubi in him. The conclusion has been decided, and Sakura's eyes have become firm. Even if she knows this fact, Naruto still can't attack her. He must have confirmed all this, so he was so unscrupulous. Then, if he sees her next time, he must

`

Kakashi originally believed in Sakura Luofeng, but now he sees this and is a little shaken.However, after thinking calmly for a while, he realized that all this was a bit too coincidental, almost incredible.

`

Ying Luofeng came over because she learned about her third sister Ying Luoxue's stay in Yuyin Village. At the same time, Jiraiya also went to inquire about the information because he learned that the leader of Akatsuki was in the Hidden Rain Village. What's more, knowing that Jiraiya had information about Akatsuki and letting Toad Sage bring his body back to Konoha was really suspicious.

`

Tsunade also thought of this, frowned and asked, "Lord Fukasaku, did the little girl you mentioned participate in the battle?"

`

"No, she was just watching there. She seemed to have been seriously injured, and she didn't use her abilities when we were fighting. She only received the last blow at the very back." Toad Immortal also felt it. Something was wrong, because Jiraiya had already left a code on it at that time.

`

And after that, the little girl came down with the sword, and then she didn't take her sword away but chose to kick Jiraiya and her short sword away, as if she didn't care about the sword at all, but it was possible. That technique requires the knife to stay for a period of time to complete.

`

"Sure enough, the coincidence of all this is too suspicious. It would be rash to make a decision so early." Tsunade said in a deep voice, and then gave a steady order, "Kakashi, go and bring Naruto here. Remember, about this sword Don't say a word to the owner of this knife.",

`

"But it's not good for Tsunade-sama to hide this from Naruto," Sakura said in shock. After all, although this matter is very disappointing, it is a fact, isn't it?

`

"Should we tell him directly that we suspect that the person he loves may have killed his respected master?" Tsunade said in a deep voice. Although her heart was equally painful, she still spoke calmly, "Everything is too suspicious now. , it would be better to wait until there is more evidence to explain to him. What if all this is a misunderstanding by then?"

`

"Misunderstanding, but now all the evidence points to her," Sakura clenched her fists and growled. Thinking of those things about Sakura Luofeng, she only felt angry, "Whether it's this time or what happened with Sasuke last time. Everything happened, she was behind it all."

`

"Sakura," Tsunade interrupted her in a deep voice, looking at him sharply, "Keep this matter a secret, is it clear?"

`

"", Sakura trembled subconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on her face. After a while, she just lowered her head and nodded.

`

"Then call Naruto over here, and call Saai and Shikamaru over as well." Tsunade ordered in a deep voice. After all, there may not be a photo of Sakura Luofeng in Konoha, so Saai needs to draw a portrait for Master Fukasaku to see. Just once.Shikamaru, on the other hand, needs to let him analyze the current situation. After all, everyone is a bit too confused now.

`

"Then let's go first." Kakashi said in a low voice, then opened the door and let Fukasaku-sama jump out first, and then took Sakura out.

`

The door slowly closed. Everyone knew that Tsunade needed some personal space now.

`

"", Tsunade still stayed in the room, her original calmness and stability had faded away, biting her lower lip and looking at the person lying motionless on it for a long time, her tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

`

Trembling, she reached out and touched his face, but the icy coldness only made her feel the coldness from within. She let go of her slightly bleeding lower lip and spoke with a choked sob. There was heaviness and sadness in her broken words, "You This bastard"

`

The person lying there quietly did not react at all. After all, he could no longer hear any words or see anyone's tears.

`

Princess Tsunade, who always loses in every bet, won this bet, but what she got was a heartbreaking result.

When Naruto, who knew nothing, was brought to the Hokage Tower, he saw Gamabunta, who was as huge as the Hokage Tower, squatting near the Hokage Tower. Toadji, who is only over two meters tall, is very small and exquisite in comparison, and sits on top of his father's head.

`

Naruto was surprised to see them arriving, and he was only confused when he saw that he was hesitant to speak.

`

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, Shizune, Kakashi, Sakura and Sai were already waiting there. Shikamaru hadn't come because he had something to do.Mr. Fukasaku, who was wrapped in a cloak, was squatting on a seat carried by a big toad. There were several toads waiting nearby.

`

Seeing him come in, everyone in the room and Toad focused their attention on him, and all of them had solemn expressions, which made Naruto feel a little baffled.

`

Master Fukasaku looked at Naruto, and then asked Tsunade who was sitting there, "He is Jiraiya-chan's disciple."

`

Tsunade, who had regained her good mood, sat on the chair, nodded and said, "Yes, he is Uzumaki Naruto. He is the son of the prophecy mentioned here."

`

Naruto looked at the old toad with gray hair and was a little surprised, "What happened to Grandpa Frog?"

`

"Hey, be careful what you say, Naruto." Tsunade scolded him and introduced solemnly, "This is Fukasaku-sama, one of the two great sages of Mt. Myoboku. He came here because he has something to ask you for."

`

"To be precise, they are two immortal toads. This kind of thing doesn't matter," Fukasaku-sama couldn't help but correct him, but then he looked at Naruto and asked, "You are Jiraiya-chan's disciple, so you can't be wrong, right?"

`

"Little Jiraiya," Naruto was stunned for a moment, and pointed at Fukasaku-sama, obviously missing the point, and shouted, "Why do you call the lustful immortal like a child? Who is this grandpa frog?"

`

Seeing his rude actions, Tsunade frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to be careful what you say?"

`

Shizune, who was holding the little pink pig, quickly introduced to Naruto, who was the only one who didn't know the situation, "This master is the one who taught Jiraiya-sama Senninjutsu, and is also Jiraiya-sama's master."

`

"" Hearing this, Naruto was stunned, obviously not expecting that such a little toad could be his master's master.

`

"Hahahaha", Fukasaku-sama laughed,

He smiled and said, "You lustful sage, what a unique honorific for little Jiraiya."

`

Naruto blinked in confusion, and then asked, "Grandpa Immortal, what do you want from me?"

`

"Where should I start? Yes, I should tell you first." After lowering his head and muttering to himself for a while, Lord Fukasaku looked at Naruto and said, "Little Jiraiya has died in the battle."

`

Naruto was stunned subconsciously, and it took him a while to react. Unable to accept what he heard, he looked at the people around him and found that they were all looking at him with worried eyes. He began to panic, but he still didn't want to believe what he heard, "What are you talking about?"

`

"It's inevitable that you can't believe it when you suddenly say something like this." Mr. Fukasaku sighed, and then explained, "Not long ago, there were rumors that the leader of Akatsuki might be hiding in Yuyin Village. Xiaozi I will personally verify the authenticity of this news."

`

Saoi remembered the rumors about that village and whispered, "Ame Hidden Village, I remember that it was a very closed village and very difficult to sneak into."

`

Kakashi nodded and said with emotion, "Yes, but Jiraiya-sama is a strong man who is very good at using ninjutsu to infiltrate espionage."

`

"That's right. After sneaking in, little Jiraiya found Payne, the leader of Akatsuki, but Payne was once a disciple of little Jiraiya. Little Jiraiya also called him Nagato."

`

"That happened a long time ago. During the chaos of the Ninja World War, in the Hidden Rain Village, which was known as the battlefield at that time, Jiraiya took care of several helpless orphans. I didn't expect that the children at that time turned out to be...", Tsunade slowly closed her eyes as she thought of those children from many years ago.

`

"But he can actually force a highly skilled ninja like Lord Jiraiya into a desperate situation. What will this Pain do?"

`

"That guy has the Rinnegan Eye." Mr. Fukasaku's simple words made everyone present look surprised. After all, everyone thought that the words Rinnegan Eye were just a legend.

`

"The Rinnegan Eye is an eye technique possessed by the Sage of Six Paths, who is considered the ancestor of ninjas. I thought it was just a myth."

`

"The legendary pupil technique was originally thought to be just a legend, but its ability is simply beyond imagination. Moreover, there are six people with the Samsara Eye." Lord Fukasaku thought of the intensity of the battle at that time and the situation of the six people, "Maybe What's the mystery in it? I'm afraid it was only little Jiraiya who was in the scene at the time who noticed that guy's secret, but "

`

"Little Jiraiya's throat was destroyed in the battle with Pain, and he fell after leaving the message to me in the end. And even if little Jiraiya's body can be brought back now, those people are sure We can't get any information from him." Lord Fukasaku took off his cloak, turned around and showed them the numbers engraved on his back.

`

After a while, it took off its cloak, turned around and continued, "I must have written it into a secret code because I was afraid of being noticed by Pain. That's all little Jiraiya has done so far."

`

"What does Jiraiya want to convey to us? As long as we interpret this code, we will understand." Tsunade frowned slightly, then thought about it and said, "However, the most convenient way is to read Jiraiya's mind. Only the remaining memories can be used to obtain more information. But "

`

Tsunade paused for a moment, and when she thought of the short sword and the forbidden word that appeared on Jiraiya's heart, it became clear that those people knew 100% that the information could not be leaked, so they asked them to bring Jiraiya's body back. Bar

`

Naruto kept his head down and listened silently. After a while, he whispered, "Mother-in-law, did you ask him to go?"

`

"", Tsunade pursed her lips tightly, slowly closed her eyes to endure the pain in her heart, then opened her eyes, and replied calmly, "Yes."

`

Naruto clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "Why do you let him act like this? Mother-in-law, you should know the character of the lustful immortal very well, but you still let him go to such a dangerous place alone?"

`

"Forget it, Naruto." Kakashi stretched out his hand to stop the excited person, and spoke with a heavy heart but calmly, "You don't understand the mood of the Fifth Hokage, do you?"

`

Tsunade slowly clasped her hands tightly, remembering in her mind what Jiraiya said before leaving:

`

Our responsibility is to set an example for the next generation and help them from the side. You can sacrifice your life with a smile for this, this is the demeanor of an old man, right?

`

"Damn it," Naruto cursed, then turned around and left. When he reached out to hold the doorknob, he stopped and spoke in a suppressed voice, "If a lustful immortal became the Fifth Hokage, he would never let Grandma Tsunade go. To take the risk of doing something so random?”

`

The door opened slowly, and he walked out without looking back.

`

"", Tsunade looked at the door that slowly closed, and then whispered, "Kakashi, take Naruto to Jiraiya's place, remember"

`

"I know it's confidential." After Kakashi whispered, he nodded and left quickly.

`

Sakura clenched her fists tightly, then loosened them weakly. Seeing Naruto like this, how could he tell him that the person he liked was also one of the murderers of Jiraiya?

By the time Shikamaru arrived, Kakashi had also returned from the autopsy room.As for Tsunade, Shikamaru and Kakashi, there are only three people left in the Hokage's office.

`

Sakura felt that they must be discussing something serious. She originally planned to listen there but was kicked out by Tsunade.And even if I stood outside, I couldn't hear the sound from above. It must be that some kind of barrier was put up to isolate the sound.

`

Tsunade, who was sitting behind the desk, rubbed her eyebrows tiredly and asked calmly, "Shikamaru, have you gone to see it too?"

`

"Ah," Shikamaru nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "It always feels suspicious, as if someone is framing Miss Feng."

`

"But Fukasaku-sama did see Sakura Luofeng at that time, and confirmed her identity through the portrait." Tsunade said, although she also felt that everything was a bit too coincidental, but this was the truth.

`

Kakashi thought for a moment and then said, "Is it possible that she was taken advantage of? After all, Lord Jiraiya is Naruto's master, and Miss Feng has met him many times, so it is impossible for her to treat him badly." A killer."

`

Tsunade thought of the troublesome abilities of the Sakura clan and couldn't help but said, "But the pupil genjutsu and the like should not work on her. After all, their abilities will make it impossible to gather chakra."

`

Kakashi also knew this, and he analyzed in a low voice, "But we don't know what Miss Feng's abilities are. And I remember she once said that as long as the chakra is strong enough, we can break through. Their limits. In addition, we are still not sure about the ability of the Samsara Eye. After all, it is a legendary eye."

`

"I also agree with what Mr. Kakashi said. After all, when the abilities of both parties are uncertain, the legendary Rinnegan Eye will be more dangerous. After all, Miss Feng has no reason to attack Lord Jiraiya. ", Shikamaru said calmly. After all, Yuyin Village is Akatsuki's home base, and Akatsuki had attacked the Sakura clan before. So, it is still certain what they did to Ying Luofeng.

`

"It's troublesome. If they plan to let Sakura Luofeng come and take Naruto away, Naruto might just follow him stupidly." Tsunade had a headache. After all, the golden-furred fox was already following someone else. I've gone several times, but I've been driven back every time.

`

"However, Miss Feng probably won't show up recently. After all, she is busy dealing with the matter between Sasuke and Itachi. After all, they just had a fight the day before yesterday, and they should be reconciled soon," Shikamaru said calmly. He spoke, not caring about the surprised expressions on Tsunade and Kakashi's faces when they heard this.

`

After retracting her initial surprise, Tsunade frowned seriously and asked, "Shikamaru, isn't Itachi the person Sasuke wants to kill? Why are they reconciled now?"

`

"Who knows, after all, they are brothers. And Miss Feng is very powerful. After all, she can even level with Naruto." Shikamaru said lazily, his lazy expression showing no flaws.

`

This inexplicable reason successfully convinced the two people. After all, when Naruto started making trouble, they had nothing to do.

`

"Anyway, let's put this matter aside for now. After all, we still have to investigate Pain's matter." Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows and suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Speaking of which, Kakashi, How about the last few times I sent you to investigate?"

`

"Duanzo did send people to assassinate Miss Feng, but Miss Feng was still merciful. After seeing that they were from Konoha, she didn't kill them."

`

"That guy is indeed making this plan." Tsunade frowned, and then told the two of them some things before letting them go back.

`

After watching the door slowly closing, Tsunade slowly tightened her grip on the pen in her hand. Even though a long time has passed, the heaviness in my heart has never dissipated but has become stronger and stronger. And what he saw a few hours ago, the face still stained with blood, was even more vivid in his mind.

`

Tsunade, who had dealt with things steadily all day, could no longer bear it. She pursed her lips tightly but tears slowly slid down. After a long time, a voice that became hoarse due to suppression sounded in the empty office:

`
