Chapter 57: The Movement of the Hidden Mist Village

"Yahiko has a headache?"

Hearing this, everyone present became more interested in Bai Ye and turned to look at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya didn't hide it and talked about the contents of the letter.

After listening to the content of the letter, the expressions of Kakashi and Nohara Rin became subtle. Yahiko also liked Byakuya too much. He could not do without Byakuya in three sentences, and they appeared quite frequently.

However, recalling their previous experiences with Bai Ye, the two felt relieved. Apart from Bai Ye looking a bit young, he was indeed a very reliable ninja in other aspects.

That's not what Namikaze Minato focuses on.

In the letter, Yahiko mentioned the difficulties encountered by the Akatsuki organization during its development and how to solve them. These problems aroused his interest, and he was thinking about solutions in his mind.

In the end, he found that the solutions he thought of were not as good as the methods proposed by Bai Ye.

This made Namikaze Minato feel a little frustrated.

After all, although he is only a Jounin of Konoha now, he will run for the Fourth Hokage in the future, so he has been trying to use Hokage's thinking to solve problems, but he found that he is not as good as a boy about the same age as Kakashi in this regard.

However, he would not be discouraged by such a trivial matter.

Only by admitting one's shortcomings and working hard to make up for them can one become stronger. The Sandaime and Jiraiya-sensei were not admired by their peers at the beginning.

After reading all the letters, Jiraiya looked in the direction of the Land of Rain and said to himself: "I really want to see Yahiko and the others with my own eyes, and the Akatsuki organization they established..."

Namikaze Minato heard Jiraiya's sigh and understood that Jiraiya wanted to go out to find Yahiko and the others.

But Jiraiya was the supreme commander of the Iwagakure front line, so why did he rashly abandon his troops and contact an underground organization in another country?

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato reminded:

"Jiraiya-sensei, if you miss Senior Brother Yahiko and the others, you can write a letter back. Didn't you lose the previous communication frog? You can also send a new one this time."

After Namikaze Minato's reminder, Jiraiya gradually came back to his senses.

Yes, with his current status, he cannot appear in the Land of Rain, otherwise it will not only arouse the vigilance of Sansho Hanzo, but even the Akatsuki organization will be implicated by him.

However, Jiraiya was very satisfied to receive news from Yahiko and the others.

After politely seeing off Namikaze Minato and others, Jiraiya began to write a reply. As he wrote, memories of the past came to his mind, causing a faint smile to appear on his lips.

After thinking for a moment, Jiraiya erased the references to the Akatsuki organization in the letter.

It was just a few simple greetings to express concern, and there was no talk about the village or the country.

After finishing the letter, Jiraiya summoned the toad from Mt. Myoboku. After watching the toad swallow the reply, he continued to deal with the military affairs on the table.

Jiraiya is very satisfied with his current life.

The two sons of the prophecy he was looking for have both become qualified ninjas. Maybe after a few more years, peace will appear in the ninja world forever, but he doesn't know if he can still get that day.

Jiraiya's good mood did not last long before he was interrupted by Namikaze Minato who turned back.

Looking at the serious-looking Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya had a lot of premonitions, but he still kept calm: "Minato, what happened?"

"It's the intelligence from the village. The Kirigakure Village of the Water Country has launched a large-scale invasion of the Fire Country!"

"The Kirigakure Village has been invaded!"

Jiraiya felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his expression even more solemn.

The invasion of Kirigakure Village is really not good news for Konoha. During this ninja world war, Kirigakure was the only ninja village that did not attack Konoha, and now it also launched an invasion.

This means that Konoha has been attacked in all directions except the direction of Sunagakure Village where the treaty was signed.

The war in the direction of Iwagakure that had gradually ceased may burn again at any time.

After pondering for a moment, Jiraiya asked Namikaze Minato: "Have you figured out why Kirigakure Village started the war? Who did the village send to deal with the invasion of Kirigakure Village?"

"The cause of the war is still unclear, but the village sent Hinata and Uchiha to deal with the Kirigakure Village."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "Hinata and Uchiha? Isn't the Water Release that Kirigakure Village is good at just able to restrain both of them?"

"This is the order of the Third Generation. Apart from Hinata and Uchiha, the village has no other military power, and only Hinata and Uchiha can deal with the Blood Succession Limit of Kirigakure Village..."

After a short pause, Namikaze Minato continued: "However, I have already applied to the Third Generation to be transferred to the direction of Kirigakure. Iwagakure can only ask the teacher, and the teacher must be careful."

Jiraiya looked at this disciple who made him proud, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am the famous Toad Sage, I am more than enough to deal with two Jinchuuriki."

"I can rest assured that."

Minato Namikaze didn't waste any time and left the command room directly.

Looking at Namikaze Minato's back, Jiraiya sighed softly. He originally thought peace was coming, but now it has become confusing. Even he doesn't know the future direction.

Outside the command room, Kakashi and Nohara Lin had been waiting for a long time.

Namikaze Minato looked at his two remaining disciples and said with complicated eyes: "Sorry, I have to take you on a mission again this time. This time we have to go to the east and kill the mist that broke into the Land of Fire. Tolerate."

"Rin, after this war is over, I will definitely find a way to make you retire."

Nohara Rin's eyes flashed with determination, and she shook her head and said, "No, Minato-sensei, I have given up the idea of ​​retiring."

"Obito died for me and Kakashi. If I still choose to escape, I will be sorry for Obito."

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato's eyes became more complicated.

Kakashi and Rin really haven't walked out of the shadow of Obito's sacrifice, but war will not give ninjas too much time to think. If they can't grow up actively, they will never have the opportunity to grow again.

Kakashi and Rin learned to grow, but Obito no longer has this opportunity.

After a few simple exchanges, Namikaze Minato, Kakashi, and Rin set out on the road to the eastern part of the Land of Fire and disappeared into the dense forest.

Also on the road was the little toad sent by Jiraiya to deliver a letter.

The little toad's mission was to find the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization, and to give a spiritual contract so that Jiraiya and Yahiko could get in touch.

However, when passing by a pond, a huge tongue shot out from the water surface, swallowed the little toad into its stomach in one gulp, and sank to the bottom of the pond.

Strangely, the little toad, as a spiritual beast, did not resist at all.
