Chapter 169 Learn to trust! I will not die!!

As Jiraiya walked further and further away, Kanon also came up from the distance.

Tsunade frowned when she saw Kanon coming up. She didn't have a good impression of Uchiha Kanon at all.

"You bastard, what on earth are you doing in Konoha?!" Tsunade sobered up.

So many Konoha ninjas died last time because of this girl in front of her. She will never forget it.

Now that Jiraiya has left, Tsunade will not show mercy to Kanon.

"It's the same as always. Do you want me to give you another 'Farewell Gift'?" Kanon said calmly. She didn't pay much attention to Tsunade's question, but just asked her own question.

"What is the lecherous immortal going to do?"

Tsunade was startled when she heard this, and at this moment, she wanted to test Kanon's words.

"Do you want to know?" Tsunade raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't tell me." Kanon said and walked in the direction where Jiraiya had just left.

Looking at Kanon's back, Tsunade said to her, "He is going to the Hidden Rain Village."

Obviously, Kanon paused, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she turned around to look at Tsunade.

When Tsunade saw Kanon's expression, her expression also became serious. This was indeed the answer she wanted.

"What did you say?! He went to the Hidden Rain Village?" Kanon did not doubt the authenticity of this statement, because since Tsunade could mention the Hidden Rain Village, it must not be groundless.

Tsunade didn't answer Kanon, but just looked at her somewhat nervous expression and guessed roughly.

"Sure enough, the leader of Akatsuki is in the Hidden Rain Village?!" Tsunade asked.

"Why don't you stop him!" Kanon turned around and glared at Tsunade.

"I..."

"We can't let him go there, he will die!" Kanon roared. She knew Pain's power best. If Jiraiya sneaked into the Hidden Rain Village alone, he would definitely fight with the Six Paths Pain.

Without accurate information, Jiraiya is in danger! Faced with such a dangerous situation, why did Tsunade decide to let Jiraiya go to the Hidden Rain Village?

Tsunade was also very upset after being scolded by Kanon, she scolded Kanon back:

"Why should Konoha's traitorous ninja teach me?"

"What do you know, a brat from the Uchiha clan? Jiraiya's strength is not something you can estimate!"

Tsunade knew very well that this journey was very dangerous, but she was willing to believe in Jiraiya's strength.

Hanane turned her head, but her eyes had changed, filled with a strong murderous intent and hatred.

"Asshole..." Kanon could no longer continue the conversation with Tsunade in front of her.

"You won't understand. The only thing in your mind is the traitor of your family. You don't understand what a village is, and what the will of fire that maintains peace is." Tsunade scolded.

As the two were arguing more and more fiercely, dozens of Anbu appeared directly in front of Tsunade and surrounded Kanon.

"Tsk."

Kanon didn't intend to come to Konoha Village to quarrel. She has more important things to do now.

She must stop Jiraiya. She is well aware of Nagato's strength. If Jiraiya goes there, he will never come back.

She glanced coldly at Tsunade, who was on the verge of anger.

"As expected, what a bullshit Will of Fire. It's better to destroy such a village. The next time we meet, it will be my time for revenge."

As Kanon spoke, her body disappeared into the vortex of space, leaving behind only the silent Anbu and Tsunade with her head lowered.

......

Outside Konoha Village.

The sky was gradually getting dark. Jiraiya had just walked a few thousand meters out of the village when he stopped and turned around.

"Come out, no need to hide anymore."

Behind this towering tree, Hanane's figure walked out.

"Hana, do you have anything else to say?"

As night falls, the sky is covered with a deep blue curtain, dotted with stars, flashing faint but firm light.

By the side of a small river, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling on the surface of the river, sparkling, as if it was a silver ribbon flowing from the sky to the earth.

On the river bank, the willow trees swayed gently, and the leaves sparkled silver in the moonlight, as if whispering.

A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness and a hint of floral fragrance. Those were the flowers at night. They bloomed in the moonlight, exuding a charming fragrance.

The master and disciple were roasting a fire on the shore, and Jiraiya placed the fish that Kanon had just caught with the Chidori next to the fire.

"We'll have to wait another thirty minutes." Jiraiya said softly.

"You lustful immortal, are you really going to the Hidden Rain Village?" Hanane didn't beat around the bush and directly asked the question she wanted to ask.

Hearing this, Jiraiya laughed and said, "If you are willing to tell us all the information about Akatsuki, then maybe you don't have to go."

"But no matter what, we have to check the authenticity."

"Can you please not go..." Hanane murmured softly.

"That won't do." Jiraiya shook his head.

Next to the fire on the riverbank, a few stones were randomly piled up as makeshift seats. Kanon and Jiraiya were sitting on two of the stones.

Kanon hugged her knees with her hands, her eyes piercing through the dancing flames, staring in the direction of the river. She was thinking about Jiraiya's chances of winning when he collided with Six Paths Pain.

While she was thinking, a grilled fish was handed to her by Jiraiya.

Only then did Kanon realize that half an hour had passed.

"Thank you, horny fairy."

"Really? Why are you saying thank you to me?" Jiraiya patted the burnt part on it.

"Be careful, it's hot, it's just been baked."

Hanane nodded slightly and took the grilled fish.

"You came to Konoha today, so you must be doing something big." Jiraiya asked in a casual tone.

Hanane didn't hide anything and nodded slightly.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Complete my revenge and kill that bastard Uchiha Itachi."

"As expected..." Jiraiya nodded slightly. He had expected this. Now that Sasuke had already started to act, how could Kanon, as his younger sister, not take action?

"Do you think you have a chance of winning?" Jiraiya asked.

"You won't know until you fight it."

"Alas, if only I had been more perceptive at that time. It's mainly my fault for not protecting you well."

"You don't have to blame yourself, lecherous immortal. Compared to my plan, you should not go to the Hidden Rain Village."

"You will die." Kanon told Jiraiya these four words directly.

Jiraiya laughed, as if he took Kanon's words as a joke.

"Lecherous immortal!" Hanane yelled.

"Are you listening or not?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

"I'm really going to die! I've already lost a lot of people who are important to me, and I really don't want to lose you, you lecherous immortal!" Kanon grabbed Jiraiya by the collar, tears in her eyes.

Under the moonlight, Kanon's eyes glowed red, and the three-magatama Sharingan appeared.

Jiraiya was shocked by Kanon's sudden anger. Kanon also realized her loss of composure, let go of his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sat back in her seat.

But this time, she hugged her knees and buried her head between her legs. The moonlight shone on the fox mask, emitting a white light.

"If you all die...what should I do..."

Looking at this disciple who had once studied under him together with Naruto, and who looked so sad, Jiraiya understood what Kanon meant.

But even if the road ahead is bitter, difficult, or even dangerous, he must explore it, not only for himself, but also for the entire Konoha.

Jiraiya placed his hand on Kanon's head, like a kindly grandfather, his white hair falling from his shoulders.

"What a kind child."

"I just told Tsunade, I'll tell you again now."

"I won't die."

"Happiness shouldn't be what men pursue, Hanane. As your master, I failed to teach you anything. It's my fault."

"But the disciple's ninjutsu is destined to be taught by me."

"You, like Naruto, have the determination to never give up, but there is one more thing you need to remember."

Kanon looked up, tears still flowing from the corners of her eyes. She didn't want Jiraiya to take the risk of going to the Hidden Rain Village.

Looking at Kanon sitting there like a little girl, Jiraiya wiped away her tears. The moonlight sprinkled on Kanon's face, highlighting her delicate face with a touch of beauty.

Although the girl in front of him has left Konoha, she has never gone far. She is still the lovely and kind girl she used to be, but Konoha pushed her away.

"Another point is to learn to trust."

Jiraiya stood up and put the scroll on his back again, but just as Kanon was about to move and try to stop Jiraiya, she found that a sealing technique had been set on her body.

"Lecherous sage!" Kanon's Sharingan flashed and she became virtual. She was about to move, but Jiraiya shook his head slightly.

"You can go back. Don't worry about me. I won't die." With that, Jiraiya disappeared under the moon.

Only Hanayone was left sitting alone by the river, looking at the moonlight outside, with the only thing keeping her company was the bonfire.

There were some unburned firewood and dead branches scattered around the campfire, and occasionally there was a crackling sound, which was the sound of wood being devoured by flames, and it was also the only sound at this time.

There was a slight smell of smoke in the air, which, combined with the chill of the night, made people feel a little desolate.

Sometimes she lowered her head in thought, and sometimes she looked up into the distance, with a trace of sadness and reluctance in her eyes.

Everything around me seemed so quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat, so quiet that even the sound of tears falling could be heard clearly.

When Hanane was roasting by the fire by the river, there was no laughter, no warmth, only loneliness and silence.
