I defected before Genocide Night

Naruto and Jiraiya returned to Konoha, and Madara followed them back for some unknown reason.

Returning to Konoha, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone in the village seemed to be safe.

Compared to Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Konoha, which are affected by the sacred tree and suffer frequent natural disasters, they are undoubtedly more lucky.

They did not encounter a natural disaster. Although they fell asleep during the previous Infinite Tsukuyomi like the rest of the ninja world, those sleeping humans did not suffer much harm.

At this time, the infinite moon reading was unlocked, and everyone woke up naturally.

At the entrance of the village, Tsunade has been waiting here.

I wasn't very surprised to see Jiraiya come back with Naruto.

Glancing at Naruto, she muttered: "Disobedient brat!"

Seeing Naruto's calm expression, Tsunade turned her attention to Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, what happened?"

"Why is the ground like this?"

Tsunade, who had just woken up not long ago, saw Jiraiya coming back and asked a few questions in confusion.

"It's a very troublesome matter, and I can't explain it in a sentence or two!" Jiraiya shook his head.

If he hadn't heard Naruto and Madara's conversation before, he wouldn't know much more than Tsunade.

In the battle where Kaguya was resurrected, he followed the instructions of the Great Toad Sage and went to the Kingdom of the Moon, but was rolled up by the sacred tree and hung on the treetop.

If Naruto hadn't killed Kaguya in time, he might have died at this moment.

Seeing Jiraiya's silence for a while, Tsunade's expression suddenly became serious.

"Hey kid, do you know what happened?"

She looked at Naruto.

She woke up yesterday, which meant she had plenty of time to investigate nearby.

However, after Tsunade's investigation, the result she obtained was that the ground in the entire surrounding area was dry and cracked, gradually turning into sand.

"If we don't find a solution to the problem, we will soon starve to death."

It is impossible to grow food in the deserted soil, and the fish and aquatic products in the rivers and seawater have also died.

Jiraiya sighed and said, "Let's go see the teacher first!"

After all, the third generation is a ninja doctor, so he may have unique insights into this matter.

Tsunade was not optimistic about his idea. She clasped her waist with one hand and shook her head: "Forget it, that old man is so anxious that his hair is about to fall out."

After waking up from her sleep, she immediately went to see Sandai to discuss the desertification of the land.

However, even the well-informed Third Hokage was as helpless as ordinary ninjas when faced with the desertification of the entire planet.

"That's it..." Jiraiya rubbed his chin and thought, "Let's go see the teacher first. If that doesn't work, I can only ask the Great Toad Sage for advice!"

Since the Toad Immortal has anticipated these things that are about to happen, he might also know the solution.

However, before that, Jiraiya planned to ask the third generation for his opinion.

By the way, he wanted Naruto to tell the Third Generation and others about what happened in the Moon Country, so as to make up for Naruto's previous incident of leaving Konoha without authorization and causing friction with Ghost Light City.

"You mean, Naruto, the brat, knows the origin and process of this matter?"

Tsunade looked at Naruto suspiciously.

Jiraiya said amusedly and helplessly: "Don't underestimate Naruto, he is the hero who killed Otsutsuki Kaguya and Black Zetsu."

"Tch! Let's go!" Tsunade spat.

He stretched out his hand to push Jiraiya's back, then turned his head and urged Naruto: "Kid, follow me!"

She pushed the two people towards the Hokage Building.

"Huh? This person is... Uchiha Madara?" At this time, Tsunade finally recognized that the man quietly following Jiraiya and Naruto was actually her grandfather's former rival.

"The information shows that the ninja world has always been in the conspiracy of this man and Black Zetsu..." Tsunade frowned and asked in confusion: "Jiraiya, why did you bring him back to Konoha?"

Not to mention that this man might be hatching other conspiracies.

It's just the impact that the other party has on the ninja world. Once people in other villages know that Uchiha Madara is in Konoha, they may not let it go and may blame Konoha for the previous losses.

Madara glanced at her but said nothing.

He knew that this woman was a descendant of Tsukiwa Mito. Although she did not inherit the powerful wood escape from her grandfather, she possessed extraordinary healing ninja abilities.

"You will use me!" Madara crossed his arms and said somewhat arrogantly.

"Huh?" His incomprehensible words made Tsunade's head filled with questions.

Looking at the two of them, Jiraiya sighed: "Let's go find the teacher first!"

He put his arm around Naruto's shoulders and walked towards the Hokage Building.

Tsunade and Madara fell behind. Tsunade looked at Madara defensively: "You were resurrected by that boy Obito using the filthy soil reincarnation technique, right? When you appear in Konoha, aren't you afraid that you will be controlled by him?"

You know, Obito is now under the control of Konoha. Although he escaped from prison two days ago, this information has not been leaked to the outside world.

In the eyes of outsiders, Konoha could have ordered Uchiha Obito to reincarnate Madara.

Madara disagreed: "His use of this technique is very superficial, he can't control me!"

Even if Obito is skilled in using this jutsu, Madara is still able to escape the influence of the dirt jutsu.

"So confident!" Tsunade suddenly smiled.

Several people came to the Hokage Building, but did not see the Third Hokage.

"It's strange, you were here just now!" Tsunade muttered in confusion.

The Sandai could not be found, and several people were standing in the corridor of the Hokage Building.

A ninja passing by in a hurry saw Tsunade and Jiraiya, stopped, nodded and shouted: "Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama..."

After nodding, the ninja hurriedly ran away.

"Hey, wait a minute, the Third Hokage was here just now, why is he missing now? Where did he go?"

Tsunade grabbed the other person's clothes by the back collar.

The ninja who was caught by her turned around and said helplessly: "Just now, Hokage-sama heard that villagers in the shopping street were robbing goods, so he rushed over to stop it."

It turns out that just yesterday, after some merchants discovered that the land was desertified, they used the guise of a famine and sold large quantities of goods in their stores.

Very few people were fooled yesterday.

But today, people went out to inquire about the situation and found that after the land was desertified everywhere, some people had begun to hoard food.

The shopping street owners joined forces to raise prices, which made the villagers even more panicked, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

"So this is ah!"

Tsunade loosened her hand and let go of the back collar of the man's clothes.

Jiraiya frowned and said, "The situation started to deteriorate so quickly."

"There is no way, no one wants to go hungry!" Tsunade spread her hands, then rolled her eyes, "I also want to stock up on some things."

Seeing that she wanted to get involved, the ninja who tipped off the information was worried that the situation would worsen because of his talk, so he quickly said: "Don't worry, Tsunade-sama!"

"Hokage-sama has rushed over to deal with it."

With the Hokage taking action, no matter how difficult the situation is, it will be improved.

This ninja looks like a single cell poisoned by the will of fire.

Tsunade smiled disapprovingly.

She was just joking just now.

If there really was not enough food, she would never starve herself no matter what.

"Shopping street, right? Let's go there quickly!"

Jiraiya had no time to pay attention to Tsunade's thoughts, and quickly rushed to the shopping street with Naruto.

When they arrived, Sandai was evacuating the crowd.

Among the villagers who were like wolves and tigers, the old and frail Third Hokage was like a frustrated little old man, giving a hard speech.

"It's really hard work!" Jiraiya sighed.

Tsunade pouted: "Maybe he enjoys it?"

She and Jiraiya looked at each other and walked over together.

"teacher!"

Jiraiya stretched out his hand and said hello.

Hearing the sound, Sandai also noticed a few of them.

Jiraiya squeezed over and asked, "Teacher, can the situation really improve?"

While he was asking questions, another villager squeezed out carrying a full shopping bag.

Sandai frowned and glanced at those people, sighing secretly.

However, when he turned back and saw Naruto next to Jiraiya, the third generation showed a rare smile: "Is Naruto cured? This is the only good thing at the moment."

Seeing that Jiraiya wanted to ask more questions, the third generation shook his head and said:

"Come with me, this is not a suitable place for conversation!"

These things that can easily cause panic are not suitable to be spoken out in public.

Jiraiya nodded and followed the third generation to a quiet corner.

When he opened his mouth and wanted to ask the third generation about how to solve the current problem, the third generation asked first: "Jiraiya, how much do you know about the desertification of the land?"

The third generation stayed in the village until he fell into a deep sleep. He was still in the ward discussing with Kakashi and others how to deal with Obito.

But he wasn't clueless.

"Jiraiya, tell me, is the situation really what Taki said, was Otsutsuki Kaguya liberated? Is the reason why the ninja world is like this because Black Zetsu and Kaguya are planting gods?

Tree?"

The third generation expressed his inner speculation.

Jiraiya nodded and said: "The situation is similar to this, but much worse than this."

He explained what Naruto said before again in front of the third generation.

"The purpose of 'Uchiha Taki' to liberate Kaguya, which we have always suspected, turns out to be to rob Kaguya of her power."

"After Otsutsuki Kaguya was robbed of her power by "Taki", in order to be resurrected, she used the sacred tree to plunder the natural energy of the ninja world without restraint."

A large amount of natural energy is extracted, and the land naturally loses nutrients.

"Where is Taki now?"

Sandai keenly captured the key to the problem.

In his opinion, since Uchiha Taki has long known that uncontrolled planting of sacred trees will have this impact, he should also know the solution.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten? The Uchiha Taki we knew was just a clone, and he has disappeared."

"What about the real Uchiha Taki?" Sandai looked at him.

"The real Uchiha Taki... I'm afraid he doesn't have good intentions towards Konoha and the ninja world. Since his appearance, we have continuously encountered difficult incidents that are difficult to solve. I'm afraid he will not take these to heart."

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.

Naruto suddenly said: "Both Uchiha Taki have disappeared."

In his now particularly keen perception, "Uchiha Taki" has disappeared from the ninja world after plundering Kaguya's chakra.

It's the kind of true and complete disappearance.

"You actually want to place your hope of saving the ninja world on that guy?" Tsunade felt a little funny.

Jiraiya looked at Sandai: "Teacher, are you really helpless? You must have experienced many natural disasters like this, right?"

"But... the scale of the natural disasters in the past is nothing compared to the one we are encountering now." Sandai sighed.

"Then...what should we do now?" Tsunade said in confusion.

Jiraiya said: "Let me go to Mt. Miaomu!"

He wanted to ask the Great Toad Immortal for instructions.

"Well, please."

The third generation also knew that the only hope at the moment was that Jiraiya could find a way to save the ninja world from Mt. Myoboku.

Otherwise, Konoha's already depleted food reserves would not be enough to sustain the whole village for a long time.

"I'll try my best! The Great Toad Immortal is not omnipotent!"

Jiraiya said distressedly and quickly set off on his way.

The Sandaime looked at Naruto, "You should go to the hospital, your mother... her condition is very unstable."

After waking up from the infinite moon reading, Kushina fell into a very manic state.

"When she woke up from her sweet dream, her condition was even worse."

Sandai sighed.

Tsunade asked him in confusion: "What happened to Kushina?"

She didn't know the details about what happened in Konoha recently.

San shook his head, "You should also accompany Naruto there to see if there is any way to treat Kushina."

After a pause, Sandai glanced at Naruto, "There's also Lin's situation. She doesn't seem to be pregnant normally..."

Naruto pursed his lips, "It's a demon..."

"What is the real situation? We can't change it. All we can do now is make up for it..." Sandai shook his head.

"Make up for it..." Tsunade seemed to understand a little bit, she put her arm around Naruto's shoulders and said with a smile: "Go to the hospital, let's go..."

She and Naruto walked towards Konoha Hospital together.

The third generation's eyes fell on Madara, who had been standing quietly.

"Uchiha Madara..."

The third generation knew this person.

Madara also knew him.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen..." Thinking of the current situation of Konoha he just saw, Madara glanced at the Third Generation, "You, Hokage, seem to be incompetent!"

"That's right!" Sandai sighed: "I'm probably an incompetent Hokage. I can't stop anything and can't change anything."

…

Myoki Mountain.

Psychic toad, Jiraiya, who was brought to Mt. Miaomu by the toad, is currently talking to the Great Toad Sage.

"The ninja world has turned into a desert, and Mt. Myoboku has also been affected."

The Great Toad Immortal pointed outside.

Miaomu Mountain, which used to have green mountains and green waters, is now experiencing dry and cracked soil.

"You can't even stop it?" Jiraiya asked solemnly.

The Great Toad Immortal let out a long sigh.

Just when Jiraiya's face was filled with disappointment, the Great Toad Sage seemed to have remembered something, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up.

"There's someone who might have a solution!"

It touched the "pill" hanging around its neck with a nostalgic look in its eyes.
