Chapter 77: Tekashiwagi Part 2

Bai Eucalyptus came to the cemetery with two bouquets of flowers and a bottle of wine.

When Bai An arrived at the tombstone and sat down on the ground, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Bai An poured the wine on the ground, looked at the tombstone and said:

"The breeze and the drizzle, my thoughts are like the wind and the rain, Mom, are you thinking about me too?"

After saying that, Bai You raised his head and closed his eyes. The breeze brushed across his cheeks and the rain moistened his cheeks.

"Dad, are you doing well recently?"

......

Outside the Fire Nation

A figure shuttled through the woods.

The man wore a Prajna mask on his face, had an upright figure, was at least 1.9 meters tall, and wore a black cloak. A short sword hung horizontally behind him, covered by the cloak. At this time, it was Bai An's father, Senju Kashiwagi.

Not long after, Senju Kashiwagi suddenly stopped and stopped moving.

Senju Kashiwagi widened his eyes and thought:

"This... this scene looks so familiar."

In front of him at this moment was a flat ground. There was nothing on the ground. It was very wide, as big as a football field, just like cream that had been spread flat.

Senju Kashiwagi walked forward, looked around, and thought:

"What exactly happened here?"

Suddenly, he found a large fist-shaped pit. The soil around the pit had turned charred, as if it had been burned, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding loess.

When Senju Kashiwagi came to the pit, his hair stood up instantly and he felt a tingling sensation on the surface of his body.

Senju Kashiwagi felt it and thought:

"Is this... electricity? It could be the remnants of someone's lightning escape."

Senju Kashiwagi jumped into the pit and looked around, but there was no clue. Senju Kashiwagi stomped his feet and prepared to jump out of the pit, but suddenly

"Snapped"

There was a flash of lightning under my feet, followed by a numbness in my legs.

Senju Kashiwagi moved his legs and said:

"Oh my god, something shocked me."

As he spoke, he squatted down and began to search.

After a while, he pulled out a small black stick. Qianshou Baimu asked in confusion:

"What is this?"

Reaching out to pick it up

"Snapped"

A trace of electric current appeared and bounced his hand away, then Senju Kashiwagi transformed his hand into a wooden limb before taking it out.

After getting it, Senju Kashiwagi came out of the pit and began to study it.

"I feel like I've seen this little thing somewhere before... I think it was on someone... Who was it... Damn, I can't remember."

At this moment, Senju Kashiwagi suddenly felt that this small blackboard stick seemed to be able to transmit chakra.

"Is this made of chakra metal? Who has so much free time to make such a gadget out of chakra metal..."

Senju Kashiwagi tried to input chakra into it, and suddenly, a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

It was raining where the picture was, and then a cave was seen. There was a man in the cave. Suddenly the man looked at him, and then the picture ended.

Senju Kashiwagi was startled for a moment, then raised his lips and said:

"Huh, so that's how it is. There's no point in terminating it, little purple-eyed brat. So it's you... in the Rain Country?"

The next moment, Senju Kashiwagi disappeared from the spot.

......

Senju Kashiwagi shuttled back and forth quickly, at a very fast speed

Two hours later

Senju Kashiwagi was about to arrive in the Land of Rain when suddenly a person appeared beside him.

The man was tall, almost as tall as him, wearing a forehead protector with the word "Oil" on it, long white hair, red marks under his eyes, a red coat with brown clothes underneath, wooden clogs, and a large scroll hanging behind him.

As soon as Senju Kashiwagi turned around, he recognized who this person was; it was Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked at him and said with a smile:

"Brother, are you going to the Rain Country too?"

Senju Kashiwagi nodded and said:

"Yes, it's a pity not to travel around in such a beautiful country."

Jiraiya said:

"It seems that you are also a person who loves to travel. We have met in the Land of Thunder. You are very unique, brother. Can I write you into my novel?"

Senju Kashiwagi's face darkened when he heard this, and then he said:

"Brother, the moment I saw you I felt like we were old friends. Of course, no problem. It's my honor."

Jiraiya said:

"My friend, I see that you are full of energy, walking briskly, breathing calmly and leisurely. It is obvious that you have reached the pinnacle of cultivation. May I ask how many years have you been practicing?"

Senju Kashiwagi shook his head and said:

"Senior, you are too kind. I have only been practicing for more than 20 years, which is not worth mentioning. How about you, brother?"

Jiraiya said:

"Oh, brother, you have such a strong aura after only practicing for more than 20 years. I have practiced for nearly 40 years to have an aura like yours. It's not like you can cheat and pass yourself off as the real thing. I can tell at a glance that you are not a human."

Before Senju Kashiwagi could say anything, he was hit on the back of his head. Senju Kashiwagi turned to look at Jiraiya in confusion.

"Otama Rasengan!"

Jiraiya then formed a Rasengan and blasted it towards Senju Kashiwagi.

Senju Kashiwagi was knocked to the ground, and the next moment Senju Kashiwagi turned into a human-shaped piece of wood.

Senju Kashiwagi's real body jumped down from a tree, scratched his head and laughed:

"Hehe, hehe, Brother Jiraiya, long time no see."

Jiraiya said:

"You little brat, keep pretending. Tsunade has already told me about you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and rolled out another Rasengan.

Senju Kashiwagi saw this and said quickly:

"Brother Jiraiya, you can make a fuss, but please stop picking your eyes. What's the matter with making a Rasengan..."

Jiraiya picked his nose and said:

"Tell me, what have you been doing for the past three years, and what about killing ANBU members?"

Senju Kashiwagi took off the mask and said:

"Brother, it's a long story. It all started with the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion."

Jiraiya was a little confused when he heard this, and thought:

"Kyuubi Rebellion?"

He looked at Senju Kashiwagi and said:

"Is there some unknown secret behind this?"

Senju Kashiwagi nodded and said:

"Well, I was just guessing at first, but now I'm sure there must be something hidden."

"On the day of the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion, I was on my way back to the village, and I met a man with strange movements. He was wearing a red cloud robe."

Jiraiya suddenly exclaimed:

"Red Cloud Robe, do you mean Xiao?"

Senju Kashiwagi asked:

"Brother, do you know this organization too?"

Jiraiya glanced at Senju Kashiwagi, smiled, and then said:

"It's all thanks to your son that I know the news about Akatsuki."

Senju Kashiwagi smiled upon hearing this and said:

"This boy."

Jiraiya returned to the topic and said:

"You go on first."

Senju Kashiwagi nodded and continued:

"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because the man was still far away from the village. So I returned to the village and heard the bad news about my wife. At that time, Xiao'an was still unconscious in the hospital. I entered the ward and simply searched Xiao'an's memory. I found that the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion was not an unprovoked disaster."

"My mind was completely blank at the time, and I had no direction until Xiao An woke up. I learned from him that the Nine-Tails Rebellion had a lot to do with the Uchiha."

Jiraiya frowned and asked in confusion:

"The Uchiha clan? No wonder the Konoha upper echelons moved the Uchiha clan to the back mountains."

Senju Kashiwagi said:

"I had the same idea as you at the time, so I sneaked into the Uchiha clan to investigate, but there was no clue that could prove that they started the turmoil."

"So, I thought there might be people from the Uchiha clan outside the village."

Jiraiya:

"Outside the village?"

Senju Kashiwagi nodded and said:

"Well, so I fled Konoha on charges of killing a Root member, and then I started investigating."

Jiraiya heard this and laughed:

"You really are... that's right, you've been at odds with Danzo since you were little."

Senju Kashiwagi said:

"Brother, you know what he did. I'm lucky I didn't kill him right away."

Jiraiya said:

"Okay, okay, go on, what happened next?"

Senju Kashiwagi said:

"Then we went on an investigation. The first organization we came into contact with was the Akatsuki organization. The people in it were all rebel ninjas with strange abilities. So we fought with them in the woods near the Land of Water."

Jiraiya suddenly interrupted:

"Wait, that barren area near the Water Country was caused by you. Hey, Bai An and I even investigated the matter."

Senju Kashiwagi smiled and nodded, then continued:

"Later, I ran into the same person I met on the day of the Nine-tail Rebellion."

"So, I talked to him in a friendly way and found out that he had the Sharingan. His Sharingan also had spatial abilities and could travel through space. I calculated the distance and found that with his ability, he could travel very long distances. So, I kept looking for him, but he managed to escape every time until now."

After listening to this, Jiraiya fell into deep thought, and then said:

"Tell me, is this an individual's action, or is it the action of the entire organization?"

Senju Kashiwagi said:

"I have investigated a lot over the years, and my feeling is that this is an individual crime."

"Brother, you've been to the Hidden Mist Village, right?"

Jiraiya looked at Senju Kashiwagi, nodded and said:

"Ah."

Senju Kashiwagi:

"The Blood Mist Village seems to have a lot to do with the masked man I just mentioned."

"I once followed the masked man. When I was wondering who he was meeting, the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Karotachi Yagura, appeared from behind me and attacked me. So I fought with him. He didn't feel like a human to me, but more like a puppet. His eyes were dull and he seemed to be controlled. The masked man took advantage of the fight between us to escape."

After listening to this, Jiraiya sighed and said:

"Things are becoming more and more complicated."

He looked at Senju Kashiwagi and asked:

"Then why are you going to the Rain Country?"

Senju Kashiwagi said:

"Let's go investigate."

Jiraiya smiled and said:

"Let's go, we're on the same route. I need to go to Fushiko Village. I didn't expect to run into you by accident."

The two began to talk as they walked, talking about White Eucalyptus, Tsunade, and the past.

half an hour later

Jiraiya said:

"Be careful, don't worry about Bai An."
