I, the mysterious businessman, join the chat group

When Hiruzen Sarutobi received the information from his subordinates about Jiraiya's return to the village, Jiraiya, the person involved, came to the home of the apprentice he remembered.

"Not here?", Jiraiya frowned and looked at the home of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, and his mood gradually became less wonderful.

Logically speaking, this is the home of Namikaze Minato, so as the son of Namikaze Minato , Naruto must live here.

But now, Jiraiya saw a few strangers living here

"The residence of the Fourth Hokage. After his sacrifice, his son did not live here. Old man, I really want to know what explanation you will give me." Jiraiya jumped up and left here.

Walking in Konoha On the street, the surrounding buildings and scenery are the same as in my memory, but now, many shops on the street have been closed, and the villagers walking on the street also look like they are in a hurry.

Now Konoha was nothing like the most prosperous ninja village in the ninja world.

Looking up at the fourth sculpture on the Hokage Rock, Jiraiya felt furious for a moment. The main reason why he came back at this time was The reason was that while drinking in a tavern in a town in the Land of Fire, I suddenly heard about the recent situation in Konoha.

"Have you heard that Konoha Village is haunted recently?"

"Clam? What nonsense are you talking about? There are ghosts in this world?"

"Don't believe it, I have a friend who opened a weapons store in Konoha, but recently that friend of mine has closed his store in Konoha and ran out to avoid the limelight. You don't know, Konoha has been selling weapons every night lately. There are villagers or ninjas being attacked all over the world. As for the attackers, you will be surprised to know who they were."

"Who is it? I'm really curious. Who dared to attack villagers and ninjas in Konoha?"

"I'll scare you to death, it's Konoha's fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who is already dead!"

"What!"

"……"

At first, Jiraiya regarded the comments made by the common people as a joke and nonsense. Namikaze Minato was already dead. As a master, could he still know? He had been depressed about this for a long time.

As for turning into a ghost, just kidding, if there really was a ghost, Jiraiya really wanted to see it.

However, there are more and more rumors about this matter, and these rumors are still spreading in a decent way. Even Jiraiya, a writer, has to admire him. The person who spreads these rumors can definitely make a lot of money if he writes horror novels..

As the rumors intensified, Jiraiya finally became suspicious.

"What if this rumor is true?"

With this mentality, Jiraiya embarked on the road of Konoha.

Of course, Jiraiya was just suspicious of the rumors about Konoha and did not believe them. However, he felt that since the rumors could spread like this, Konoha would also Something should really happen

"Recently, Kumoyin Village of the Kingdom of Thunder is going to sign a peace treaty with Konoha. Are those hostile countries trying to sabotage this?"

Jiraiya is worthy of being Sarutobi Hiruzen. The master and disciple thought of a place at first.

But thinking of this, Jiraiya's expression became serious. His disciple Namikaze Minato was here to protect The Fourth Hokage who sacrificed his life for Konoha, but now he is being used like this by you, it is really too much of a lie!

Not long after, Jiraiya returned to Konoha. After entering Konoha, looking at the scene around him, he almost thought that he had come by mistake. After that,

Jiraiya did not immediately go to see his master Sarutobi Hiruzen, but first came to the home of Namikaze Minato. He wanted to know that Namikaze Minato's son was named after the protagonist in his novel. How is Naruto's life now? Will he be troubled by the recent rumors about Konoha being haunted?

But he found that the original Minato Namikaze's home had changed its owner.

"Teacher, I want to know where you arranged for Naruto to go?"

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Jiraiya began to ask about Naruto's situation as soon as he entered.

Looking at his disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak. He knew that his arrangement for Naruto would definitely make Jiraiya angry, but since then From the Hokage's point of view, there is nothing wrong with what he did.

"I haven't been back for so many years, but when I came back, I didn't even say hello, and I was so impatient when I came in. When will you be able to calm down? I don't trust you even if I want you to be the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and said, Opened the topic

"Forget it, Hokage, old man, you know my character, it would be too painful to tie me to Konoha. If I hadn't heard too many rumors about Minato in the village this time in the Land of Fire, I probably wouldn't have come back."

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to say anything, Jiraiya didn't force his teacher to say that he had returned to Konoha anyway. If you don't want to say it, why can't I still see you?

"By the way, is the village really haunted? Or are there spies from other countries causing trouble?"

Jiraiya asked

"I don't know." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of his cigarette, his face full of confusion."Both the Anbu and Danzo's roots have been investigating this matter recently, but they still have no clue. It seems like it's really... It's like Minato turned into a ghost and attacked the villagers."

"Oh, interesting, how did the attack happen? I have listened to many versions outside."

After hearing Jiraiya's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out one of the scrolls on the side of the table and threw it to Jiraiya.

"This records the recent haunted incident that occurred in Konoha at night. Thanks to these, 20% of the villagers in Konoha have temporarily left the village to take refuge."

Saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed some pain, and 20% of the villagers Ah, a fifth of the people in Konoha have been scared away, and if this continues, this proportion will continue to increase.

Jiraiya looked at the haunted events recorded on the scroll, and they were more detailed than he heard. More, and this made him more interested in this haunted person. Who is it that has such a talent?

"This guy usually comes out to do things at night, right? That's good. I'll go take a look at night these two days. If it's really Minato, I believe he won't hurt me as a master. If it's not Minato, huh, I'd like to take a look. , which village is it that people with such talents do not make good use of them, but instead come out to make trouble?" Jiraiya took the initiative to ask to investigate this matter, and Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally would not refuse. He also chatted with Sarutobi Hiruzen about related matters. After the information was completed, Jiraiya left the Hokage's office.

Night came quickly.

Today's night in Konoha is definitely one of the quietest places in the entire ninja world. The villagers turned off the lights early and went to bed. Anyone dared to go out at night, even those ninjas who were considered superior by the villagers.

But today, a fearless figure appeared on the streets of the village.

""Hey guys, this is really a big deal. I originally wanted to buy some snacks, but I didn't expect that everything was closed before it got dark."_
