Chapter 187: Jiraiya's death! Naruto's roar and Tsunade's regret! !

......

three days later.

It's already two o'clock in the morning in Konoha Village.

Naruto lay on the bed, his azure eyes slightly dull.

For some reason, he couldn't sleep and he had a vague feeling of foreboding.

His mind was still thinking about the past moments with Kanon and Sasuke.

And after Itachi stuffed a crow in his mouth, Naruto was puzzled when he saw Uchiha Itachi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What exactly did Itachi want to say then?"

"Why to me..."

"How are you now, Hanane?"

"Nothing happened..."

Before I knew it, it was already early morning.

Naruto didn't sleep all night, and in the early morning, Kakashi knocked on Naruto's glass.

"Ok?"

"Ah, what? It's Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said tiredly.

"The Fifth Hokage is calling you, hurry up and get ready."

Ten minutes later, Naruto arrived outside the Hokage's office and saw Gamabunta and Gamakichi who were also a little confused.

"Eh? Gamakichi?" Naruto was puzzled as to why Gamakichi was here.

"Oh, Naruto..."

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"What happened?"

Gamakichi was about to speak but hesitated. Just as he was about to say something, Gamabunta scolded him and told him to stop talking.

"What on earth happened?"

"Okay, let's go." Kakashi called back Naruto who was still confused.

When Naruto arrived at Tsunade's office, Shizune, Sakura, and Sai were all inside, and even Tsunade looked at Naruto with an embarrassed expression.

At the same time, next to Tsunade, all the toads from Mount Myoboku that Jiraiya knew were also looking at Naruto.

Fukasaku was now sitting on the head of a toad, looking at Naruto.

As if sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere, Naruto felt a little confused.

"Is this child one of Jiraiya's two apprentices?" Fukasaku asked.

Tsunade nodded slightly: "Yes, he is Uzumaki Naruto,"

"That's the child of prophecy mentioned here."

Listening to the conversation between Fukasaku and Tsunade, Naruto rolled his eyes. What are they talking about? What's going on with this frog uncle?

"Hey! Be careful with your words, Naruto!" Tsunade reminded.

"This is Master Fukasaku, one of the two great sages of Mount Myōboku."

"I came here specially because I have something to talk to you about."

Fukasaku also began to add at this time: "To be precise, they are the two great immortal toads. Compared to this kind of thing, you are indeed the apprentice of little Jiraiya."

"I've already met Jiraiya-chan's other apprentice, the Uchiha girl named Kanon."

Hearing Kanon's words, Naruto's pupils suddenly shrank; "What?! Kanon, you actually know about Kanon's news?!"

"Also, what is little Jiraiya? Why are you calling the lecherous sage like a child?"

"Who exactly is this frog uncle?" Naruto defended Jiraiya and scolded Lord Fukasaku in dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful with your words?!" Tsunade scolded, and Shizune, who was beside her, spoke up.

"This is the master who taught Jiraiya-sama the immortal arts."

Naruto was shocked to hear this, but Fukasaku didn't care about Naruto's disrespect and laughed at the side:

"Hahahaha, you're just like that girl, you both call little Jiraiya a lecherous immortal!"

"This nickname is really unique to Jiraiya."

"So what exactly does this immortal want to talk to me about?" Naruto asked puzzledly.

"Where on earth should I begin?"

"Yes, I'll tell you first."

Fukasaku looked directly into Naruto's eyes and told him a tragic news.

"Little Jiraiya died in the battle."

Naruto's eyes widened at these words.

"Huh?" He couldn't believe that the news was true.

"You...what are you talking about?"

The others looked at Naruto's reaction and stared at him solemnly.

"It happened suddenly, there's nothing I can do if I don't believe it."

"Even I was saved by Kanane. If it weren't for Kanane, I would have died too." Fukasaku said with regret.

"How is that possible? You are lying. Kanon was clearly fighting with Uchiha Itachi, how could she go to save you?" Naruto seemed to have grasped the last straw and denied Fukasaku's words.

"But she may have given up on revenge and came to us on purpose. Judging from her condition at the time, she had indeed experienced a horrific battle." Fukasaku recalled Kanon's condition at the time and became more and more convinced of his guess.

But when Naruto heard Fukasaku's words, his blue pupils shrank to the extreme.

"Not long ago, there were rumors that the leader of Akatsuki might be hiding in the Hidden Rain Village, so Jiraiya went to verify the truth of the rumor himself."

"Then little Jiraiya found the leader of Akatsuki, Pein, but..."

"Pein was once a disciple of young Jiraiya, who called him Nagato."

Sakura was confused: "Apprentice? What's going on?"

Tsunade, however, thought of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

After Tsunade introduced the three people, she said in a trembling voice: "I didn't expect it to be the child from that time..."

"But who on earth is that guy named Pain, who can actually force a ninja like Lord Jiraiya into a desperate situation..." Kakashi frowned.

"That guy has the Rinnegan." When Fukasaku said this, everyone was shocked.

"What did you say?!"

"The Rinnegan is considered to be the ancestor of ninjas, a pupil technique possessed by the Sage of Six Paths. I thought it was something that only existed in mythology." Shizune muttered.

"The legendary pupil technique, the Samsara Eye...it is said that its ability is beyond imagination."

"Moreover, there are six people who possess the Rinnegan..."

Everyone gasped. There were actually six people who possessed the Rinnegan. What kind of people was Lord Jiraiya fighting against?

"Maybe there is some mystery in it. I'm afraid only Jiraiya who was present at the time noticed the guy's secret, but..."

"During the battle with Pein, little Jiraiya's throat was damaged. Under Kanon's protection, he left the information to me at the last moment."

After these words were spoken, Tsunade suddenly realized.

"So this is what the bloodstains looked like?"

"What blood?" Kakashi wondered.

"At that time, Lord Fukasaku came out of Kanon's flower domain, with her back covered in her blood and tears." When Tsunade said this, she suddenly realized that Uchiha Kanon had just experienced a great battle with Itachi.

He actually turned back to save Jiraiya, leaving so much blood and tears, which must be the result of overdrawing the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Tsunade noticed this, and Kakashi also noticed this. He looked at Naruto with his pupils suddenly contracted.

Obviously, Naruto also noticed it. What on earth did Kanon go through at that time?

But time continued to pass, and Fukasaku pulled the cloak behind him, revealing the secret code on his back.

"That's it."

Everyone was stunned when they saw the secret code on Fukasaku's back.

"He must have done this because he didn't want to be discovered by Payne..."

"If Kanon-chan hadn't arrived at the last moment, I would have died there, too."

"This is all that little Jiraiya left behind, the information that little Kanon risked her life to bring me back."

Tsunade said solemnly, "As long as you decipher this code, you will understand what Jiraiya wants to express, right?"

But at this moment, Naruto lowered his head and almost roared, "It was Grandma, did you let him go?"

Tsunade lowered her head and looked at Naruto's angry eyes that were about to explode. Her heart felt as if it was cut by a sharp blade.

"I asked him to go."

Naruto got the response, his pupils trembled: "Why allow him to do this!"

"My mother-in-law should also be very familiar with the character of the lecherous immortal!"

"Let him go to such a dangerous place alone!" Naruto became more and more excited as he spoke, and he wanted to vent.

But he was stopped by Kakashi: "Stop it, Naruto!"

"You don't fail to understand the Fifth Hokage's feelings, do you?"

"But the one who is suffering more than me is Kanon!" Naruto almost roared.

"The lecherous immortal died in front of her!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kakashi's pupils suddenly shrank, and even Sakura shed tears. Kanon was a member of Team 7, and the pain that Naruto personally pointed out made everyone suddenly realize.

Even Tsunade, her thoughts went back to that day at dusk, when Kanon questioned herself angrily.

"Why don't you stop him!"

But at that time, I was cursing at the Uchiha girl who risked her life to deliver important information:

"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 regretted it, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she understood that she had to be strong, because she was the Hokage!

Naruto gritted his teeth and turned around, he wanted to leave the Hokage's office.

When he pushed the door open, Naruto left this message: "If the lecherous sage becomes the fifth Hokage."

"I will never let Granny Tsunade take the risk of doing something like this."

Naruto left and Sakura was about to chase him, but Tsunade stopped him, "Sakura... Okay, just let him calm down."

"but..."

Watching Naruto leave, Kakashi also lowered his head. He could understand Naruto, but he wanted to know more about how Kanon was doing now.

"I'm sorry, Master Fukasaku, let Naruto listen to you again when there's a chance."

Fukasaku nodded. “Ah, that’s good.”

"Regarding the child of prophecy I just mentioned, that child, like Kanon-chan, truly admires and loves little Jiraiya. I understand now."

"I hope that the child of prophecy is indeed him. I can't help but hope so..."
