Chapter 26

Hearing this answer, Jiraiya's face was dark, and he turned his head to look at Orochimaru with a suspicious look.

As if asking, are you sure this is the Uchiha who is arrogant?

So you are afraid of death? !

"How long are you going to follow me?"

Orochimaru had his own plan to take over the task of Tianzhiguo, and he didn't think of taking Jiraiya with him, otherwise he would only take a B-level task with his strength.

Bringing Uchiha Makoto was just to cover up.

There's nothing wrong with taking students to do tasks!

"I can help you! We haven't done tasks together for a long time, so it's a good time to take a break and do it together!"

Uchiha Makoto opened his eyes slightly and saw that Orochimaru didn't want Jiraiya and his apprentice to follow him. It must not be a serious task, and it might even be a bit of a mess.

When Orochimaru looked over, he happened to meet his gaze.

At this moment, they tacitly agreed to a decision to get rid of these two people.

"Jiraiya, you guard the first half of the night, I'll guard the second half, let them rest."

After Orochimaru made this suggestion, he turned sideways and stopped talking, and Uchiha Makoto closed his eyes again.

Already knowing Orochimaru's plan to run away in the second half of the night, he had to rest now.

Sure enough, when the shift was changed, Uchiha Makoto had woken up, and the hypnosis under the Sharingan instantly made Jiraiya fall asleep.

After the two left, Orochimaru asked, "It's worthy of the Sharingan, it can make Jiraiya fall into it."

"Lord Orochimaru, what are you talking about? Lord Jiraiya just fell asleep."

That's right, this is hypnosis, not an illusion. If it was an illusion, Jiraiya would find it, and after reporting to the Third Hokage, he would be targeted even more.

Now he doesn't have the strength to compete with the Kage-level strongman, and he must not let people notice him.

"Hehe, it seems that you are very confident in your illusion."

......

At this moment, Jiraiya had a long dream in the chaos. He dreamed of Orochimaru and walked hand in hand with him...

He suddenly woke up when the dream reached this point.

"Orochimaru!"

"Huh? Jiraiya, you're awake."

Jiraiya saw that there was no sign of Orochimaru around and asked, "Where are Orochimaru and the others?"

Minato scratched his head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I slept too soundly. When I woke up, they were gone. Maybe they were on a mission!"

When Jiraiya heard this, he thought of the scene in his dream and felt a chill all over his body. He muttered, "How could I hold hands with Orochimaru? Even if I did, it could only be Tsunade."

"Did he get hit by an illusion?"

"Huh? No! There was no sign of an illusion after I woke up, and neither did the teacher," Minato explained. He did check on Jiraiya after he woke up and found no sign of an illusion. "Maybe he was too tired from traveling yesterday."

Jiraiya checked his body again and found that he was indeed not hit by an illusion. It was not that he did not trust Minato, but that the illusion of that Uchiha was too powerful.

"Forget it, they must have deliberately gotten rid of us, let's go back to the village!"

After returning to the village, Jiraiya went straight to the Hokage's office.

Bang!

The door of the office was kicked open.

"Old man!"

"Jiraiya, can you knock on the door? You kicked three of my doors."

Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed heroically.

"Be careful next time, but I have good news to share with you. Orochimaru has accepted a disciple."

"What?" The Third Hokage's hand holding the pipe obviously hesitated for a moment, "What kind of ninja caught Orochimaru's eye?"

Orochimaru is his most proud disciple, proficient in the five types of ninjutsu, and is the most likely person to inherit his mantle. The most important thing is that he is a civilian and has no family support.

"Uchiha Makoto, a very powerful little guy," Jiraiya became more and more angry as he spoke, "Orochimaru doesn't have such a good attitude towards me."

When the Third Hokage heard Uchiha, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Uchiha Makoto again!

During this period, he allowed Hinata to spread rumors and did not come out to clarify.

All the achievements of Uchiha Makoto on the battlefield were suppressed. I am afraid that this matter will not be concealed for long.

"Is there another genius in Uchiha?"

"You can't say you are a genius!" Jiraiya thought about the scene where Uchiha Makoto desperately chased him and Orochimaru because he was afraid of being left alone, and said awkwardly: "I am just a little scared, timid!"

Originally, Jiraiya wanted to say that he was afraid of death, but Orochimaru was his good friend, and the disciple of his good friend must not be so shameful in front of the master.

"Timid? Uchiha Makoto is timid?"

The Third Hokage didn't believe a word of it. How could Orochimaru accept a timid disciple? He would not even look at such a person.

"Yes, a little, kid! Education will be fine. "Jiraiya stopped talking nonsense and said seriously: "There is no result on the matter of Hyuga, maybe we really think too much."

No one in the Yamanaka clan could find out what happened to the bodies of the Sand Ninja or Hyuga, and they were sent to the Yamanaka clan. The other party was very secretive.

"I know, please explain this matter to the Hyuga clan leader in person."

The third generation did not want to waste too much energy on this matter, but he had to relax his vigilance.

After Jiraiya left, the third generation Hokage urgently contacted the Anbu on the front line to inquire about the situation.

The Hyuga clan leader's mansion.

The one who greeted Jiraiya was Hyuga Hiashi, the son of the old Hyuga clan leader.

In terms of rules, I am afraid that no one in the entire Fire Country can compare with their clan.

"Jiraiya, sir, please. "

The Hyuga family's mansion is a pure Japanese-style building, with exquisite layout and furnishings.

Jiraiya curled his lips, somewhat envious of these big families.

How rich!

Soon, Jiraiya was taken to the reception hall, where the old Hyuga clan leader sat on the tatami and brewed tea.

"Master Jiraiya, please."

Jiraiya did not hesitate to be polite with him, and said directly: "Old clan leader, I am responsible for investigating the Hyuga this time. It is clear that the five heroes of Hyuga will be remembered forever by the world."

"What do you mean?" The old Hyuga clan leader frowned, and sparks of fire appeared in his eyes.

"According to my investigation, the five Hyuga died together with the Sand Ninja, and there was no clue of a third party present." Jiraiya knew that there was something fishy about this matter, and he had kept the half branch, but at the moment, he still put the overall situation first.

"Impossible." The old Hyuga clan leader shouted angrily.

"Old clan leader, I am sorry, goodbye. "

Jiraiya doesn't like dealing with these families, it's troublesome!

"It's six Hyuga."

The old Hyuga clan leader was helpless and angry, and his hands on the table were scratched by his nails.

"Old clan leader, what do you mean?"

Jiraiya was a little dissatisfied at this time. At first, they didn't say it was six Hyuga ninjas. He brought back the bodies of five ninjas, and they tacitly agreed to this matter.

"We sent six people, five of whom are from the branch families to protect one of the main families."
