Chapter 105 Jiraiya Seeks Death

"Jiraiya, the corruption and darkness hidden beneath Konoha's false prosperity are the reasons why you don't want to return to Konoha.

This phenomenon is not unique to Konoha. Similar situations exist to varying degrees in all ninja villages, large and small, in the ninja world.

Time has proven that the ninja village system proposed by Hashirama Senju is slowly decaying and is no longer suitable for today's ninja world.

We have gathered here to establish a new system, a new system that can maintain true peace in the ninja world for a long time.

So Jiraiya, I ask you again... please join us!"

Naruto spread his hands and waited for Jiraiya's statement.

"Hahahaha~"

Jiraiya suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.

“You are right. Even in my opinion, the ninja village system that has been passed down for decades does have many problems.

I know these problems, and Minato knows them too.

But none of us dare to take that step, because that would surely be a path that would make us enemies of the entire ninja world...

Naruto-chan, you are much more courageous than me and your father~"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto with admiration in his eyes, but the next moment he changed the subject.

“But as for me joining you…I’m sorry, please allow me to refuse again.

No matter what, I, Jiraiya, am still a ninja, a ninja of Konoha!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya took off the forehead protector with the word "Oil" on it and replaced it with a ninja forehead protector from the Leaf Village in front of everyone.

Nagato looked at Jiraiya's current appearance and felt as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.

At that time, Jiraiya was also wearing a Konoha ninja forehead protector, and he landed in front of the three people like a god descending from the sky...

How high-spirited Jiraiya was at that time, just like now;

The only difference is that at this moment, Jiraiya has an extra touch of heroic spirit...

"...Jiraiya, you should know...if you don't join us, we will never let you leave..."

Naruto stared at Jiraiya for a long time before speaking.

"In that case... the Konoha ninja, the toad spirit of Myoboku Mountain, Senso Dojin, also known as the Toad Sage - Jiraiya... accepts the challenge!"

There was no surprise on Jiraiya's face, he had expected this result a long time ago.

"Fuck! After all that talk, you're still going to fight?!

Let me do it. I will show him the art of explosion today!"

As soon as Deidara heard that an action was about to take place, he became excited. He lifted up his black robe, took out a grenade launcher from inside and was ready to start.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Xiaodi was stuck on the wall again.

Xiaodi: (*?????)……

……

"Teacher Jiraiya, we don't have to go this far...

Otherwise, we won't force you to join us;

As long as you promise to live in the Hidden Rain Village from now on and not pass on any information about our Akatsuki organization, then..."

Naruto: →_→……

[It's useless to keep him here. If Jiraiya hasn't joined Akatsuki in a few hours, the five major ninja villages will attack you together...

By then your wife will be cold, and I will die in your hands! 】

"Thank you in advance for your kindness, Nagato.

But never mind...

I cannot guarantee that I can completely sever my ties with Konoha. Who knows, at some point... I might pass your information back to Konoha."

Jiraiya shook his head and declined Nagato's kindness.

"As long as I'm alive, Akatsuki's base is at risk of being exposed.

So, do your best to kill me before I pass on the information...

This is the last thing I can do for you as your teacher... Nagato."

Everyone could see that Jiraiya didn't want to fight them at all, he was clearly asking for death...

However, when Jiraiya did this, Naruto was left speechless.

First there was Tsuchiko-kun, then there was Jiraiya...

So, wishing to die when encountering a problem is the unique skill of your sect, right? !

Since you, Jiraiya, have decided to die...can't you verbally agree to join the Akatsuki organization before you die?

[You guys are making me really anxious...]

Sometimes, Naruto really can't understand the thought processes of these people in the ninja world.

"Teacher Jiraiya, how about you just…"

"No need to say any more, come on, Nagato!

Let the teacher see how much you have grown over the years? ! "

Nagato: ?_?……

Nagato was mainly worried that if he exerted even a little force, it would be gone...

"You little yellow-haired guy hanging on the wall over there, didn't you want to fuck me just now? Come on!"

Deidara: (▼皿▼#)!!!

So arrogant!

No, I have to fuck him!!!

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

This time, Xiaodi was not stuck on the wall, he was directly bounced away by Nagato.

Since manufacturing a batch of thermal weapons, Xiao Di's combat effectiveness has become stronger and stronger, but he has also become more and more brainless in doing things.

If we let him and Jiraiya fight...

Maybe everyone in the Hidden Rain Village will have to face the mushroom cloud to see their grandmother.

"Little red-haired boy, are you willing to fight me, Jiraiya?!"

Scorpion: (ーー゛)...

Although there were three red-haired guys at the scene - Nagato, Kushina and Sasori.

But Scorpion was 100% sure that the "red-haired" that Jiraiya mentioned was himself...

Scorpion looked at Nagato: Can I kill him? !

Nagato shook his head slowly.

Scorpion: (ーー゛)...

That's okay...

"Kushina, come up and give me a ride!"

Kushina: (ー_ー)!!

"I don't have time. I still have to take care of my son!"

Kushina rolled her eyes, picked up Naruto and walked to the side.

……

"Are all of you in the Akatsuki organization a bunch of cowards who don't even have the courage to fight?!"

Seeing that no one accepted the challenge, Jiraiya himself was the most anxious person at the scene.

To be honest, whether it was the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization that Nagato explained to him, or the drawbacks of the ninja village system that Naruto analyzed for him...

Jiraiya also agrees very much, if he is not a Konoha ninja...

Jiraiya would definitely join their team without hesitation.

But he is a ninja of Konoha.

Jiraiya lived in Konoha since he was a child. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was very kind to him. Most of his honors came from Konoha...

Jiraiya's bond with Konoha Village is too deep for anyone to change.

However, Jiraiya did not want to become an obstacle in Nagato and Naruto's path forward.

Because in their descriptions, Jiraiya saw the long-lost light in this world.

Village, disciples...

Jiraiya was caught in a dilemma, and after much thought he came up with a solution that (he thought) was the best of both worlds.

He died here as a Konoha ninja.

He is worthy of Konoha's training and is able to keep the secrets of Akatsuki.

Well, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel...
