Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"So, you want me to help you take back the Heart of God from the Fatui? Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, are you planning to feed the hens to hungry farmers just so that your generation can continue to live?"

Jiraiya's gaze suddenly became unusually sharp, and those eyes, which had experienced the vicissitudes of life but were still clear and bright, stared at Kamisato Ayato.

Jiraiya's eyes, even an old fox like Ayato who has experienced the ups and downs of the official sea, can't help but be a little impatient. This is the accumulation of time and experience.

"We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so stop playing those tricks. Tell me what you are going to do. Then I will decide whether to help you or not." Jiraiya said, as if there was no room for easing.

Ayato was not surprised by this. Most of the enthusiastic young people who agreed to help without thinking about the cause and effect would not have much ability in the real world.

If we don't regard his stupidity and recklessness as part of the game, it may even make things worse. And the seemingly carefree Jiraiya is definitely not that kind of person.

"People are mostly selfish. I don't think I'm one of those few people who are selfless and dedicated. However, the future and the present are not something that a small person like me can decide.

If we succeed in retrieving the Heart of God, we will go together to meet Lord Thunder God and let her make her own decision.

Oh, and one more thing. Not all eggs are destined to be eaten. When hens are too old to lay eggs, farmers will choose to let the hens hatch a new batch of chicks and raise them to take over the nests where they originally laid eggs.

As for the old hens... they will naturally use their remaining energy."

As Ayato spoke, he also made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Jiraiya looked at Kamisato Ayaka who was still practicing swordplay with Toma in the yard, and who was still able to maintain her elegance in this situation. It can be seen that Ayaka is really a competent brother.

And in the corrupt officialdom of Inazuma, he was able to protect his sister so well. Kamisato Ayato was undoubtedly a ruthless person!

"Okay. Let's do as you say, without further ado. Don't bother cooking my dinner, I'll leave right away." Jiraiya said as he stood up and was about to leave.

But at this moment, the servants of Kamisato Mansion were already waiting at the door with a table full of fairly sumptuous dishes.

"Don't rush. You can sneak into the castle. But it's not easy for you to sneak into the castle tower without being discovered, right?

What's more, you made such a big noise in the afternoon. Even if the shogunate and the Fatui don't know where you are, they will definitely strengthen the castle tower.

It was unnecessary to fight against the entire shogunate and the army of the Fatui before being discovered before entering the castle tower. The Fatui executive "Puppet", the shogun, and Miss Kujo Sara are all tough guys.

Not to mention, it seems that the Fatui have somehow summoned another low-level descender."

Jiraiya had no idea about the strength of the other members, but he could still guarantee that Sasori, who had joined Akatsuki, would be very strong!

Including the fact that he could be killed by Sakura and Granny Chiyo working together, Jiraiya felt that the degree of slackness must be quite high.

"So what are your plans?" Jiraiya asked.

However, Ayato was just quiet, setting the table and gently called out to the courtyard outside: "Sister, Thomas. Dinner is ready."

Then he turned to Jiraiya and said, "If I can't even eat properly, Linghua will definitely be worried, right? She and I have the same blood, so she won't be that slow, right?"

"..."

"Wow, it smells so good! Grandma Aoi's cooking skills are still as good as ever." Linghua walked through the entrance lively, put her slippers in order, and washed her hands after training.

Her simple movements all showed the elegance of a lady from a noble family, as well as the skill of a martial arts master. In just a few seconds, she sat down at the table with Thomas in a dignified manner.

On the small wooden table, there were five plates of Inazuma specialties: Hizaki tempura, crab roe shell grilled, tuna sushi, wakame poultry, and a bowl of thick miso soup. This would be considered a good meal in an ordinary family.

However, when he thought that this was in the home of a national dignitary and that there were four people having dinner, Jiraiya still felt it was a bit shabby.

"I'm starting!" Ayaka, Ayato, and Toma suddenly said in unison while holding their chopsticks. This extremely familiar traditional ritual made Jiraiya a little stunned.

Jiraiya seemed to have been an orphan since he could remember, and most of the time he ate and slept alone. Since he was alone, it was meaningless to stick to such etiquette.

Just like you can't stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl when you eat, you can't cross your legs, you can't smack your lips. There are all kinds of things you can't do and what's impolite.

No one ever taught me...

It seemed that the last time I heard "I'm starting!" was when I was training with Naruto. This little guy, like me, lost his parents when he was young.

Alone and helpless, he never forgot to say, "I'm eating," even if he was just eating expired instant noodles.

"Oh, Lord Jiraiya, please don't find it strange. This is actually our Inazuma's traditional ceremony. It's to express gratitude for the food and the cook." Ayaka said a little embarrassedly.

Jiraiya quickly waved his hands, clasped his hands together in a serious manner, and said with an awkward smile: "I'm starting!"

The meal was quite enjoyable. Although the Kamisato siblings, who maintained aristocratic etiquette, were too quiet at the table, which made Jiraiya a little uncomfortable, the words "I'm starting" were enough to make Jiraiya feel at ease.

After dinner, Ayato sent his sister back to her room to study, and then he took Jiraiya back to his room, which was mostly filled with books for office use.

As soon as Ayato entered the room, he quickly started to sort out various documents and files, and didn't bother to talk to Jiraiya.

"Why are you still doing this at a time like this? Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Jiraiya said as he took out a document that contained information about people in various regions.

"Tonight, at 8:30, we will report to the general on the resettlement and evacuation of personnel in various regions. As long as you can find a way to enter the castle tower with me, then will be the best time!"

Jiraiya looked at Ayato, and knew there would be many puppets of Scorpion outside the castle tower. He wanted to avoid Scorpion's detection completely.

He only has one jutsu.
