Chapter 349: Jiraiya gathers information, teacher and student meet

In the Hidden Rain Village, inside the tavern.

At this time, Jiraiya was holding a wine glass and drinking with a plump woman named Tetsuna.

"This guest is really just joking with me!~"

Tetsuna smiled as he picked up the glass and filled it for Jiraiya.

"No, I never lie. It's just that you are so beautiful, miss!~"

Jiraiya's face was bright red as he looked at the woman's chest.

There is only milky white snow in the eyes.

"This war must be quite fierce!"

Tezuna's smile widened.

"I was wondering why the customer specifically asked for me to come over. It turns out it's because I'm really charming!~"

Jiraiya laughed.

"Tsuna-san looks a lot like a friend of mine, and her name is similar too! So I couldn't help but choose you!~"

"It's worth it for me to come all the way here."

After saying that, Jiraiya looked up and drank the full glass of wine in one gulp.

cool!

"Really? So you are not from this village?"

"Yeah, for mercenaries like us, we go wherever there's work to do. We don't have a home anymore."

Jiraiya lies without hesitation.

"I think I came here this time because of that guy called Salamander..."

Before he could finish his words, Tetsuna quickly raised his hand and made a shushing gesture.

"Guest, you can't mention that person's name here!"

Jiraiya, half drunk, slowly approached.

Said nonchalantly.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Tetsuna glanced around, then leaned over to Jiraiya's ear and whispered.

"If you are judged to be an accomplice of Salamander Hanzo, you will be killed!"

Jiraiya pretended to be startled.

"Ah? That's really scary!"

"The new village chief, Lord Payne, is very strict. My husband has said before that if you are targeted, I'm afraid he won't let you off easily."

Jiraiya couldn't help but look at Tetsuna with a look of disbelief.

"What? Tsuna-chan already has a husband?"

Tezuna smiled upon hearing that.

"Well, my husband is a genin in our village, and he makes too little money, so I have to go out and earn some money!~"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Jiraiya's face.

Who would have thought that the person I ordered to drink with me today would turn out to be a married man.

It's okay since Tsunade is a married woman.

I finally found a meal replacement for Tsunade, but she's so young, yet she's already been taken away by someone.

Jiraiya sighed.

Alas, this is my fate!

"Tezuna, you've worked so hard!"

"My husband told me that the rain in the village is caused by Lord Pain's magic. If you are caught in the rain, you can immediately know who is doing what and where."

The smile on Jiraiya's face slowly faded.

"That's a really scary technique!"

Tsunade did not notice Jiraiya's change, and thinking that Jiraiya spent money to find her, she still reminded him again.

"So, it's best not to say anything weird!~"

"Okay, I understand. Let's stop talking and continue drinking!"

……

About half a day passed.

Jiraiya left the tavern and came to an uninhabited place without any rain.

"Could it be that I have already fallen into Pain's art the day I first arrived?"

Jiraiya felt vaguely uneasy, then took a deep breath.

He raised his hands, formed a seal, and opened his mouth to spit.

A strangely shaped scroll toad was summoned.

"Jiraiya? What are you planning on doing by calling me out at this time?

I have to teach the two new human boys recently, so I may not have much time for cultivation..."

Jiraiya smiled.

Apparently, Naruto, Sasuke and the others are still training at Myoboku Mountain.

"No, it's not about training. For some reason, I might fight with a stronger guy, so I'm just in case."

"I want to get the mobile stamp done as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Toad nodded.

"I see."

The scroll in the center of the body instantly spread out.

Jiraiya took a look and finally placed his fingerprint on a spot on the scroll.

"If anything happens to me, you move inside Minato's body!"

Hearing this, Toad was stunned.

"Is the enemy strong this time?"

"About the same. I'm not sure. But there are some things that we should be more prepared for."

Hearing this, Toad knew that Jiraiya already had a plan.

"I see."

Jiraiya then released his summoning technique, and the toad disappeared with a bang.

Jiraiya packed up the equipment he brought with him.

Finally, his eyes fell on Uchiha Yufeng's scroll.

"I hope this thing is useful!"

Jiraiya tightened the scroll and put it close to his body.

Then he packed up everything step by step, and when everything was ready, he came to the dark place below.

He dragged the ninja from the Hidden Rain Village who had been knocked out earlier to the front.

Raise your hands to form a seal.

Jiraiya turned into a flat paper man like a shadow and climbed onto the man's body.

The man then opened his eyes and walked outside.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Looking at the long-lost sunshine in the distance, the man narrowed his eyes slightly.

A rustling sound was heard.

A large ball of white paper appeared in front of him and then flew all over the sky.

They quickly flew to Jiraiya's side, and then stuck to Jiraiya's body one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Jiraiya was covered with stickers.

A piece of white paper in front of him gathered together, and the upper body of Xiaonan appeared in front of him.

Holding a paper sword in his hand, he was about to stab.

"Fire Escape, Flame Bullet!"

Behind the two men, Jiraiya half emerged from the soil.

The seal has been made and he opened his mouth to spit it out.

The blazing flames instantly enveloped the two people inside, and the flames burned the paper with a lot of thick smoke.

The smoke dissipated, and the white paper slowly condensed into the shape of Konan, and the paper on the body of the Hidden Rain Village ninja was also burned clean.

"Toad Hirako Manipulation Technique?"

Looking at Konan in front of him, Jiraiya felt a little emotional.

The skinny girl has changed a lot now.

Jiraiya released the technique, and the lower half of his shadow-like body turned from flat to three-dimensional, returning to normal.

"I put down the bait to lure out Pein, but I didn't expect you to be here first!"

"You can actually transform it into a light piece of paper. Your method of casting magic has become even more sophisticated and sharper!"

"And you've become a mature woman, Konan!"

Jiraiya smiled.

After actually meeting Xiaonan.

Jiraiya had to confirm the authenticity of what Uchiha Yufeng had said before.

If Xiaonan was still alive.

It seems that what happened in the Hidden Rain Village is really the same as what Uchiha Yufeng said.

This Pain is almost exactly like Nagato.

The Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan.

Nagato, who had once led them on their journey and placed his hopes on becoming a reformer of the ninja world... ultimately went astray.

"You, you are the angel?"

The controlled ninja felt the pain in his body because he was no longer under Jiraiya's control. He opened his eyes and saw Konan right in front of him. He exclaimed in shock.

"Angel?"

Jiraiya looked at Konan.

"This man is the intruder, Angel-sama!! He knocked me out before!"

A hint of anxiety flashed in the eyes of the Hidden Rain Village ninja, and he stood up and ran towards Konan.

"You'd better stay away!"

The ninja was very sensible and knew that Jiraiya was not someone he could handle at all.

He nodded in agreement, jumped up and down a few times, and ran away quickly.

"Konan, where is Nagato? Take me to see him!"
