Chapter 259 The Debt Collector
Fugaku whispered as he walked, like a devil from hell coming to collect debts.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, and those two old guys, you guys shouldn't sleep tonight."
Rain Country
Naruto's residence was dark.
The real debt collector is sleeping soundly at this moment.
Naruto suddenly scratched his butt a few times, smacked his lips, and turned over.
I didn't wake up once during the sleep and slept very soundly.
Before the live broadcast, Naruto had a hard time in Konoha Village.
After the live broadcast, everyone Naruto met in the Rain Country was very friendly to him.
Although he might be better off returning to Konoha now.
The only thing is that the top leaders of Konoha are not having a good time, as they are always worried that the truth will be exposed.
fire nation
Muye Village
The Hokage building was brightly lit.
Mito Kado En, with two dark circles under his eyes, said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Monkey, lend me your pipe and take a couple of puffs to wake me up."
Turning to bed, Xiaochun looked worried.
She was almost asleep...
The next day
When Shikaku walked into the Hokage's office, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What's going on? Why are you here so early?"
"We came back last night. The reason we didn't ask you to come back was that we needed you to have a clear mind after getting enough sleep."
Shikaku seemed to have guessed something, and his expression became serious: "This day has come so soon? Since the fact that Naruto was abducted has been exposed, we should now urgently activate Plan A to deal with this matter."
Mitomon En waved his hand: "It's not about this."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked melancholy: "If this continues, I, an old man, really can't bear it anymore."
It's too big. The pressure is greater than ever before.
Orochimaru, where is you, the traitor?
Come to Konoha and kill me, the old man! Quick!
Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief.
"It would be better if this matter is not exposed."
Then he asked curiously: "What happened?"
half an hour later
There is a new Hokage deputy in the Hokage's office who pulls his pineapple hair hard.

Rain Country
Konan looked at Naruto who was trying to use the Fierce Wind Palm outside and said, "Naruto and those guys get along pretty well. Except for Kakuzu who was willing to admit defeat because he dug out one of his own hearts and that's why he was lukewarm towards Naruto."
Payne:…
When this matter was mentioned, he could think of Naruto's reverse harem technique.
He suspected that Xiaonan brought up this matter on purpose.
He was an awakener of the Samsara Eye, and was also the child of destiny in the ninja world. But he actually caused his subordinate to lose a heart because of such a technique...
At this moment, Pein suddenly spoke: "Someone is coming. This chakra... is very familiar. It's Jiraiya-sensei again."
Konan's expression changed: "Did you know that Naruto is here?"
"It seems that this time, I have to go there myself."
"I'll go. If they're really coming for Naruto, you can come forward. Maybe... Sensei Jiraiya is here to buy an explosive talisman again."
Payne could only nod and say, "I hope so."
Seeing that Konan had left, Pain looked again at Naruto who was practicing ninjutsu.
He knew that Naruto's affairs with Akatsuki could not be kept secret forever. When they were exposed, Akatsuki might face siege from the entire ninja world.
He had to think of a way to keep Naruto by his side reasonably.
Moreover, in order to prevent the masked man from taking desperate measures, they cannot break off relations with that guy for the time being, but at the same time they have to be on guard against him kidnapping Naruto again.
not long
Konan walked into the reception room and as soon as he saw Jiraiya, he asked straight to the point, "How many detonating talismans do you want to buy this time?"
Jiraiya touched his nose awkwardly: "Konan, look at what you said, am I that kind of person? You should know me well."
"That's why I ask because I understand."
Jiraiya's mouth twitched and he got down to business.
"I didn't come here to buy detonating talismans for Konoha..."
Jiraiya's eyes darkened slightly: "I want to ask, is that old guy Hanzo still alive?"
Konan was stunned, obviously not expecting Jiraiya to ask that.
After three years of living together day and night, she knew Jiraiya's personality very well.
Jiraiya wasn't the type to keep hatred on his lips.
Even if it is to avenge his own disciples.
Maybe... just want to understand the situation?
For example, has the Rain Country fallen under Akatsuki's control?
With Jiraiya's ability, it would not be difficult to investigate this, and there is no need for Konan to hide it.
"Died at Nagato's hands."
Hearing this, Jiraiya laughed twice, stood up and said: "It seems that you and Nagato don't need help anymore, so I should leave now. I hope...you won't go astray again in the future. I believe Yahiko doesn't want to see you like this."
After that, he turned and left.
He really didn't want to be tainted by hatred.
But as a teacher, how could he remain indifferent when his own disciple was forced to death?
Now that he knew Hanzo was dead, his twisted mood finally improved a little.
Jiraiya is a fool, but in this ninja world, fools always seem to be easily recognized by others.
Konan told Nagato about this.
Seeing Konan's increasingly guilty expression, Nagato remained silent.
After a moment, he said, "Don't feel guilty, Konan. If there had been no live broadcast, when Jiraiya-sensei sneaked into the Rain Country in the future, I believe your original intention was just to persuade him to leave. After failing, it was me who finally decided to kill him."
……
Somewhere in the ninja world
The masked man took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the scroll.
What is contained inside are all the cells of those powerful people in the past of the ninja world.
At this time, Bai Zetsu emerged from the ground and handed him the small jar in his hand as if offering a treasure.
"Although Kumogakure guarded it very strictly, I still managed to get the cells of the Third Raikage, Aobito..."
"Hmm?" The masked man looked at it gloomily.
Bai Zetsu said awkwardly: "Master Madara."
The masked man took the small jar and said, "Next, we need to obtain the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."
Zetsu said: "The current Konoha Village is on even tighter alert than usual. It seems that Naruto's abduction has sounded the alarm for them."
The masked man said, "Then we can only get the jutsu from Orochimaru. Do you know where he is now?"
Zetsu looked strange: "That guy's current location... is in the Whirlpool Country."
The masked man's pupils constricted and he reacted instantly.
"The Death Mask that sealed the Fourth Hokage!"
"Damn it! At this rate, that guy might have three Hokage's Impure World Reincarnations in his hands. He's really a tough guy."
White Zetsu spread his hands: "Maybe there is a Kushina who can use sealing techniques infinitely."
The masked man was silent for a moment, then he looked at Bai Zetsu: "Ze, do you think I can get the Impure World Reincarnation Technique from Orochimaru by using the cells of the Third Raikage?"
Seeing him holding the jar, he looked like, 'This is the strongest spear and the strongest shield.'
Listening to his words that came from his heart but were also wishful thinking.
Bai Zetsu stretched out his claws tremblingly and touched the masked man's forehead.
The touch is delicate and the material of the mask is good.
