Chapter 212 The Hero Jiraiya

“Slurp, slurp, slurp…”

It's the sound of someone gulping down cup noodles.

After filling his stomach, Jiraiya lay on the ground feeling extremely relieved, "Ah, I'm saved. I thought I would be forced to eat insects again."

Xuanwu finally helped Jiraiya and prevented Fukasaku from taking him away.

After a long pause, he said, "Jiraiya, although it's late, I still have to say sorry to you. I'm sorry, I..."

Jiraiya, who was lying on the ground with a dogtail grass in his mouth, interrupted Xuanwu, "Stop, stop, stop. If it's because you caught up with Tsunade, there's no need to worry about it. Failure is failure. There's nothing to worry about."

Xuanwu was a little surprised, "You're not angry? But why did you lose your soul after knowing that I was with Tsunade, and even ran to Myoboku Mountain to look for a fight?"

"Tsk, you took my goddess away, how can I not be angry at all? I had to beat you up to vent my anger, but after seeing your stupid look, my anger subsided."

Jiraiya's carefree attitude made Xuanwu even more embarrassed.

He thought about it for a while and finally made a decision, "Well, Jiraiya, as compensation, how about I give you a gift."

"Hey, when did you become so pretentious? I have the strength and money, so I don't need it at all."

Xuanwu sighed and said, "Well, I wanted to turn your eyes into white eyes to make it easier for you to get materials. Since you don't need it, forget it."

After eating and drinking, Xuanwu continued to practice, then stood up and walked towards Fukasaku who had just arrived at the Oil Falls.

He had only taken two steps when his thigh was grabbed.

Xuanwu turned around, "Uh, Jiraiya, there's no need for such a big ceremony."

At this time, Jiraiya knelt on his knees, holding Xuanwu tightly with both hands, and begged: "Second brother, from now on you are my second brother, please be sure to give me the gift!"

"Oh, I don't know who said that they have everything they need."

"I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now. I hope you won't forgive me, brother."

"Then this destroyed site..."

"I'll fix it!"

"The clothes we wore during our training..."

"I wash!"

“Daily meals...”

"I do!"

"I won't embarrass you. I am very humane."

"It's absolutely not a problem! I am willing to serve you at every turn!"

"Okay, then I'll reluctantly help you, but you have to promise me that you won't be allowed to peek through Tsunade in any way."

Jiraiya's eyes were a little vague, he hesitated, "Um, this..."

Xuanwu turned around and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Jiraiya hugged Tsunade's legs tighter, and said flatteringly: "Brother, brother, my good brother~, I swear, I will never peek or see through Tsunade. If I break the rules, I will be struck by lightning."

It is worth sacrificing a single tree for the sake of a big forest!

"Okay, let's just trust you."

"Hey, don't worry, second brother! When can you change it for me?"

"First, give me some of your blood and tissue."

"Nani! You are not lying to me, pig-headed Xuanwu!"

"How is that possible? I'm a gentleman, okay? Don't be so hesitant, man. Do you still want to be looked down upon?"

...

From then on, the two of them settled down in Myoboku Mountain. Xuanwu would occasionally go to the Wet Bone Forest to relax, and occasionally return to Konoha to replenish the chakra of his shadow clones. Jiraiya would not go anywhere else except taking time to return to the Rain Country to teach his three disciples.

In fact, Xuanwu taught Jiraiya to be domineering, pulled him to practice the perfect Sage Mode together, and induced him to mutate into the Byakugan with only one purpose, which was to prevent Jiraiya's death.

Although it sounds tragic and admirable that a wandering dragon should return to the sea, and the sea will come to it even if it doesn't welcome it, Xuanwu still wants this close friend to live.

Jiraiya was his favorite character in his previous life.

He is the best ninja, having completed S missions 138 times, ranking first among all Konoha ninjas. Kakashi Hatake, the teacher of the protagonist group, has only completed S missions 42 times, less than one-third of Jiraiya.

He was the best disciple, and spent his entire life practicing the Will of Fire taught by Sarutobi Hiruzen, which even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself could not fully achieve, and silently protected Konoha.

He is the best teacher. The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto were all taught by him.

He is the freest traveler, traveling to various places in the ninja world and writing a wonderful life of his own.

But such a free and easy person with great charisma had a life full of regrets.

He almost reconciled with his best friend Orochimaru, almost saved his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen, almost caught up with his beloved Tsunade, and almost saw his closed disciple Uzumaki Naruto become successful. All his expectations were always just a little short of fulfillment.

The life of the hero Jiraiya should not have been ended like this by the disciple he personally trained.

Therefore, Xuanwu strengthened Jiraiya in all aspects.

The Perfect Sage Mode makes his magic stronger and more lasting, the Armament Haki greatly increases his attack and defense power, and the Byakugan allows him to ignore any sneak attacks.

If he was still seriously injured by Tendo's sneak attack and then killed by Pain's Six Paths, Xuanwu had nothing to say.

.....

One night, in a wooden house on a small island offshore of the Kingdom of Water, a man was sitting on a chair to the left of the main seat in the hall, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive. Behind him stood two guards, a man and a woman.

This man has black hair and his eyes are always squinted, but it does not affect his beautiful fair face at all.

This man who is three times more beautiful than a woman is the current leader of the Hidden Mist Village, the Third Mizukage Mizunoe Hidekura, and the two people behind him are his right-hand men. Xuanwu would definitely call Yotsuki Riki and Benimaru a couple of bastards here.

The Third Mizukage said impatiently: "Benimaru, why hasn't the other party come yet? Didn't he say he wanted to see me?"

Hong Wan yawned and said impatiently: "Then just wait a while, it won't hurt you."

The Third Mizukage turned his head away in some surprise. Benimaru was not like this usually. She was passionate and gentle at the same time. The two of them had a deep conversation and one could even hear her high-pitched singing. What happened today?

"How dare you! Is this how you talk to me?"

A familiar voice sounded from outside the room, "She's right. It's your honor to wait for me."

The Third Mizukage, who was about to lose his temper, broke out in cold sweat. This voice must be right. He would never forget it in his life!

The Third Mizukage turned around with difficulty, and a red armor came into view, followed by the face that only appeared in nightmares.

It's really him!

Who else but Uchiha Madara could be the man who could make him, the Mizukage, tremble at the mere sound of his voice!

At this point, how could Mizunoe Hidekura not understand that Benimaru and Riki betrayed him? It wasn't that the Third Kazekage wanted to meet him secretly, but used this as an excuse to get him out of the Hidden Mist Village!

"run!"

This was the only thought of the Third Mizukage. At this moment, he no longer cared why Uchiha Madara, who was recognized by the Ninja World as having been killed by the First Hokage Hashirama Senju in the Valley of the End, was here intact. He quickly formed seals with both hands.

"Ice Escape, Magic Mirror Ice Crystal",

Countless ice mirrors were condensed and exposed, occupying almost half of the island, and ice mirrors were constantly being generated on the sea level.

The Third Mizukage dived into the mirror beside him, and then his figure appeared in all the mirrors.

Safe!
