Chapter 427

【At this time, a frog jumped out of the bushes and handed a scroll to Jiraiya. 】

【After reading the contents of the scroll, Jiraiya couldn't help but tremble. When asked by Tsunade, he answered sadly: "Those children died... I thought it was the right choice, so I worked hard for it. I thought that was my destiny... I'm just afraid I made a mistake."】

【"... You will definitely find it, as long as you have firm faith." Tsunade raised her hand and put it on Jiraiya's back to comfort him. Jiraiya could only force himself to cheer himself up: "Yes, I still have a long way to go."】

【Under the leadership of Jiraiya's other disciple Minato Namikaze, Konoha won the Third Ninja World War, and the names of those who sacrificed for this war are now engraved on the memorial. 】

["I'm a little curious, has Jiraiya ever considered the Fourth Hokage the Son of Prophecy?"]

["He only mentions the Fourth Hokage when it comes to Naruto, so I guess he doesn't have that idea."]

["The Fourth Hokage is indeed very strong, but there is still a gap compared to the Samsara Eye shown by Nagato. No wonder Jiraiya didn't give him the title of the Son of Prophecy."]

["Naruto is the same, making all kinds of embarrassments, so Jiraiya didn't connect him with the Son of Prophecy until he was about to die."]

[In front of the memorial, Tsunade once again asked Jiraiya about his future plans, and Jiraiya's answer remained the same, continuing his journey to find the disciple who could bring peace. 】

【"You are really looking for trouble." Orochimaru was not interested in this, waved his hand and turned away. Jiraiya couldn't help but ask: "What about you, don't you want someone to inherit your ninjutsu?"】

【Stopped, Orochimaru gave his answer without thinking: "Learn all the techniques in this world, this is my only wish."】

【"No matter how much you study ninjutsu, human life will not be eternal!" Tsunade and Jiraiya made the same rebuttal, to which Orochimaru replied meaningfully: "This is difficult Said it."]

["Ha, inheriting Orochimaru's ninjutsu, Sasuke and Kabuto not only inherited it, but also divided his body and soul. Isn't this inheritance thorough enough?"]

["For Orochimaru who pursues immortality, the word inheritance has nothing to do with him."]

["The pursuit of immortality is not the goal, the real goal is to learn all the techniques, these two points must be distinguished."]

[In a home environment, Minato read Jiraiya's Tenkaichi Ninjutsu with relish, and the whole person completely replaced the protagonist of the book.]

[The development of the story is basically the same as Jiraiya's past encounter with the man of the Fuma clan, but in response to the question raised by the other party at that time, "There is no peace in the cursed ninja world", Jiraiya gave his own answer through the protagonist of the book. 】

【"Then, I will break this curse. If there is still peace in this world, I will definitely seize it. I will never give up!"】

【When he was reading the exciting part, Jiraiya suddenly slapped Minato on the back of his head and interrupted his reading. He said with pride and embarrassment that this debut work still had many shortcomings, but Minato thought it was very satisfying. Then, in the subsequent conversation, he proposed to Jiraiya that he wanted to name his child after the protagonist. 】

【Jiraiya's fate was thus linked to the true child of prophecy. 】

["Sure enough, this is Jiraiya's answer to peace - never give up."]

["Jiraiya's idea is completely based on the premise that peace really exists... The question is, does peace really exist? It's not the kind of peace between one village and one country, but the peace that all countries in the entire ninja world understand each other..."]

["I feel that this is a false proposition. Jiraiya, who has been fighting for this goal all his life, is just wasting his time."]

["If everyone thinks this way, there is really no hope for peace. Maybe we can't understand their actions, but there is no need to belittle their behavior."]

In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara glanced at the sky with an expressionless face.

Mutual understanding between people?

This idea was abandoned after he broke up with Hashirama in his youth, but in the ninja world, there are always people who are drowned by such ideals.

"Hmph, the future leader of the ninja world, sounds like a pretty impressive title, but... if his level of thought is only this level, then the child of prophecy chosen by him is not worthy of my attention."

"Uzumaki Naruto, ifYour view on peace is the same as Hashirama's, then you are not worthy of shouldering the responsibility of peace in the ninja world. Because I've long been tired of Hashirama's tricks, and the development of the ninja world now proves that they don't work, so... what answer can you give... what words do you want to use to convince Nagato..."

Uchiha Madara was both disdainful and expectant. Of course, no matter what answer Naruto gave, he firmly believed that his plan was the most perfect.

For the peace of the ninja world, everything else must give way to him. For this, even if it means defeating the entire world, Uchiha Madara will not hesitate.

The picture of the sky was frozen in the distant view of Konoha Village and gradually darkened, and then not long after It lit up again.

[On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Tsunade, under the protection of four Anbu, treated the wounded in the village through the remote connection of the slug. ]

[At this moment, a figure wearing an Akatsuki robe appeared here without any hindrance. The four Anbu quickly took precautions and recognized the person in front of them through the ornaments on their faces as Tendo, who had fought with Kakashi before. ]

[Tendo ignored the four Anbu and greeted Tsunade coldly, "Long time no see, Tsunade-sama, you are the only one left of the former three ninjas."]

["I have a few words to tell you."]

["Okay! It's the follow-up of Pein's invasion of Konoha!"]

["Tsunade not only has to take command, but also has to be responsible for the treatment of the entire village. Is this the strength of the first medical master in the ninja world? ”]

[“Tsk, that’s great, there’s such a great medical ninja in the village, as long as they don’t die on the spot, they should be able to be saved.”]

[“There are pros and cons, the medical treatment provided has indeed become stronger, but there’s no denying that Tsunade’s frontal combat ability is slightly weaker than other Kages, and it’s impossible for her to deal with Pein with physical skills alone.”]
