Chapter 61: Jiraiya failed to preach and was asked three questions in a row!

Not only did he walk slowly, but he also found a place to wash up on the road, wash his face, tidy up his messy hair, and get rid of the suffocating smell of alcohol.

After finishing, he took out some dried meat from his mouth and ate it with relish while drinking stream water.

"A little?"

He gestured with the dried meat in his hand.

Yan rolled his eyes: "No, just eat it yourself."

Itachi's mouth twitched slightly.

Just now, Jiraiya was lying by the stream washing up. After washing, he immediately took out some dried meat to eat, and did not forget to scoop water with his hands to drink.

You know, the water flow in this stream is very slow.

Jiraiya's behavior is equivalent to drinking the water he washed himself in and eating the dried meat.

Jiraiya, who had been sloppy since childhood, didn't care about being disliked. He just sat on the ground, chewing on dried meat, and did not forget to chat with Yan about all sorts of things.

"By the way, I heard that you Uchiha clan and the Shimura clan have had some unpleasantness recently?"

What does this mean, Master Jiraiya?

Itachi glanced at Yan, Yan shook his head at him, and then sat on a stone nearby:

"It's okay, it's just a small conflict, nothing compared to Danzo-sama.

After all, there is a lot of commotion outside, and Lord Danzo can use all kinds of shameless means to target Uchiha and cause some troubles that will have a great negative impact on Uchiha."

As expected, the Uchiha people hated Danzo, especially Uchiha Hiko.

No wonder he could be scolded in public in the police department.

After eating a few pieces of jerky, Jiraiya wrapped up the rest and put it away, saying with regret:

"In fact, after the night of the Nine-Tails, I also tracked down the mysterious man who called himself Uchiha Madara, but unfortunately I didn't find any clues."

There is no information at all, like a headless fly, it would be strange if we could find anything.

Who could have imagined that this mysterious person would be Uchiha Obito!

Not to mention others, even teacher Minato failed to recognize Obito's identity.

Apart from Jiraiya, I'm afraid there would be no one in the entire Konoha who would talk about the Night of the Nine-Tails so openly with the Uchiha people.

Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He could see that Jiraiya's main purpose in talking about these things was to ease the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.

He definitely wouldn't be able to persuade the Third Hokage and the others.

Since I can't persuade them, I can only start with the Uchiha.

No wonder they came up with a temporary family mission and specifically asked him to participate in it. It turned out they were waiting here.

It's really interesting. Since the top leaders couldn't persuade them, they chose to start with the Uchiha.

The funny thing is, Jiraiya is also a high-ranking figure in the village, but he doesn't hold a corresponding position.

"In fact, in the past few years, our Uchiha clan has also been trying to find a way to investigate this mysterious masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara. If we don't find him, the misunderstanding between the Uchiha and the village will be difficult to resolve."

"Unfortunately, after several years of investigation, no valuable intelligence has been found."

Yan shook his head regretfully and bluntly pointed out the relationship between the family and the Uchiha:

"Because of the second generation's prejudice and differential treatment, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village has gradually deteriorated. The night of the Nine-Tails caused a deep rift in the relationship between the village and the Uchiha."

The bad relationship between the family and the village is caused by the prejudice of the Second Hokage?

Yan's words left Jiraiya speechless for a moment, and Itachi couldn't help but frown.

Most of the intelligence he had learned on the subject pointed out that the bad relationship between the family and the village was caused by the Uchiha.

But Yan said it was the Second Hokage, but Jiraiya didn't refute it.

Is it possible that Brother Shisui is wrong?

Yan pretended to have a headache.

"Actually, I'm very confused now. I hope the rift between the family and the village can be repaired, but I don't know how to start. The Uchiha are always surrounded by surveillance, exclusion, and hiding."

"As an important Uchiha, you will be monitored wherever you go. It is very difficult to leave the village, and it is even more difficult to work in some jobs arranged by the village."

"But what is incomprehensible is that when the Uchiha people sacrificed for the village, when the Uchiha people shed blood for the village, these people who should have been heroes of the village did not receive corresponding rewards and treatment. Instead, their various achievements were recorded and handled in a low-key manner, or even hidden."

How should I answer the call?

The script shouldn't have gone this way.

Yan brought up a series of unfair treatments that Uchiha had suffered, which directly made Jiraiya unable to deal with it.

"Jiraiya, as a high-ranking official in the village, please tell me what I should do to repair the rift between my family and the village, which is deeper than the Valley of the End?"

Finally, Yan kicked the ball to Jiraiya.

Don't you want to ease the relationship between the village and the Uchiha and prevent both sides from moving closer to the brink of danger?

Then please show me and Uchiha a clear path!

What should Uchiha do to clear up the misunderstanding, to get the top leaders to withdraw their surveillance on us, and to eliminate the prejudice among us?

"Um~~~~"

Jiraiya sat cross-legged, with his right knee resting on his leg, his palm flat on his chin, a look of worry on his face.

Yan pointed out that the ball was difficult to catch.

This thing is hot.

There was some anticipation in Itachi's eyes, and he was also waiting for Jiraiya's answer.

Jiraiya is a high-ranking figure in the village. Such an important figure should be able to give targeted answers.

He held his chin and groaned for a long time, and finally laughed awkwardly:

"Ahaha, this question is a bit of a headache. It's wrong for the old man and his friends to be prejudiced, but the Uchiha also has problems. Let's not talk about the mysterious man on the night of the Nine-Tails. The Uchiha clan is not peaceful either. The hardliners are always a problem."

“The hardliners want to solve the problem with a coup, but it will only deepen the misunderstanding and conflict with the village.”

"In other words, as long as the hardliners stop trying to stage a coup, and the Uchiha can deal with the hardliners and make them disappear, the village's prejudice against the Uchiha will disappear, and the village will no longer target the Uchiha or monitor them. Is that what you mean?"

Jiraiya laughed it off, but Yan decisively followed his words and stabbed him in the ribs with a knife.

Wait, although what I want to express is that hardliners cannot act recklessly, this is not what I mean!!!

Jiraiya suddenly panicked, because Yan and Itachi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it seemed that they wanted to target the hardliners in the family.

"Wait, don't worry, that's not what I meant, I just..."

Jiraiya explained in a panic, but the more he explained, the more confused his mind became.

In the end, he realized that he couldn't take back what he had said.

If he denies it, it means that he is no different from the Third Hokage and others.

Admittedly, if Uchiha really dealt with the hardliners and he failed to get what he wanted, then Jiraiya would be guilty of a great sin.

"really……"

Shaking his head in disappointment, Yan stood up, patted his clothes, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to leave."
