Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

After hearing Kakashi's speech, which was like a military order, Tsunade no longer hesitated and nodded directly in agreement: "I understand, then I will agree to Sasuke's request.

"As for the specific candidates to assist Sasuke, let's tentatively select Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato. You will be responsible for leading the team."

"Two Jonin, that's about it." After listening to Tsunade's arrangement, Jiraiya nodded and commented, "Anyway, Itachi is also a member of the Akatsuki organization.

"Since we are going to duel with Itachi, contact with the Akatsuki organization is inevitable. Based on the information from Asuma and the others, the two jounin's combat capabilities are about the same."

"However, if Kakashi, Yamato and Naruto are all sent out, there will be a vacancy in the village's combat strength. What if the village is attacked by Orochimaru's remnants at this time?" After hearing Tsunade's arrangement,

Shizune on the side put forward her own opinion.

After all, before this, the attack by Kabuto Yakushi and others was able to be repelled because there happened to be jonins like Kakashi, Yamato and others staying in the village. Now that Kakashi and others are sent out, what will happen if there is a vacancy in the village's combat power.

"It doesn't matter, because Yakushi Kabuto and the others will attack Konoha, mainly for Orochimaru and Sasuke. Now that Orochimaru is dead, and Sasuke left the village to find Uchiha Itachi, there is no need for Yakushi Kabuto and the others to choose to fight Konoha.

"Besides, it's hard to say whether Orochimaru's remnants can still unite."

After hearing Kakashi's analysis and Tsunade's default attitude, Shizune had no choice but to give up.

For a while, the office fell into a brief silence.

At this time, Qi Fei suddenly asked: "I wanted to ask just now, why are Jiraiya-sama and Kakashi here? Has something happened to the village again?"

Kakashi is Tsunade's designated successor as Hokage, so it's normal for Tsunade to come to his office if she has something to do.

But Jiraiya, who has been traveling and performing secret missions, is different. Whenever he comes back, it's usually because something big has happened in the village.

"It's about the Akatsuki organization." Tsunade replied, "Jiraiya has investigated information related to the Akatsuki organization's base. At the same time..."

With that said, she handed a report to Qi Fei and continued: "The Torture Department also deciphered the location of the Akatsuki organization's base from Xie's memory."

"Ame Hidden Village." Jiraiya answered, "My information is relatively vague, but someone mentioned that people from the Akatsuki organization are active in Ame Hidden Village."

"Scorpion's memory shows that members of the Akatsuki organization often gather in Yuyin Village before capturing the tailed beasts. Besides the first time, we also learned a very important piece of information."

Tsunade said solemnly: "The leader of the Akatsuki organization, 'Penn', is a man with the Samsara Eye."

Following Tsunade's words, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office seemed to freeze.

"The Rinnegan Eye... is it the legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's those legendary eyes." Tsunade replied.

"It's incredible that this kind of thing actually exists."

Kakashi also just learned the news. When he was summoned to the Hokage's office by the ANBU, Jiraiya and Tsunade were already talking about something in the office.

When it was his turn to ask, Qi Fei returned to the office after interrogating Sasuke and interrupted his questioning.

Until just now, he thought Tsunade called him to the office to deal with matters related to Sasuke. Unexpectedly, the real purpose was to announce this bombshell news.

In his impression, the Sage of Six Paths, known as the "ancestor of ninjutsu", possesses all-powerful power and is omnipotent. He is the source of all ninjutsu, chakra and ninjas.

With the same eyes as the powerful Sage of Six Paths, Kakashi could not imagine how terrifying the leader of the Akatsuki organization named 'Penn' would be.

"Those eyes do exist, reality is so cruel..." Tsunade whispered when Kakashi's thoughts were surging because of the news.

Jiraiya, who had been looking serious and silent since just now, released his hands that had been clasped in front of his chest, stood up and left the desk he had been leaning on.

Walking to the door of the office, Jiraiya said: "I will go to the Hidden Rain Village to investigate the specific situation in person. After all, it is my job to investigate the intelligence of the Akatsuki organization."

"Wait!" Tsunade raised her head and stopped Jiraiya's hand, which was about to open the door, and said: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. The other party is a strong man with the Samsara Eye. You should bring more people to be more secure.

…”

"But wouldn't this expose his whereabouts? Investigating intelligence is not suitable for multi-person operations." Jiraiya rejected Tsunade's kindness without hesitation.

Just when Tsunade was about to say something more, Jiraiya interrupted directly: "If it's really what I think, then I should be the one to end it all myself."

Jiraiya looked up at the empty door, but his eyes seemed to see the distant past.

Just when Tsunade felt helpless, Qi Fei stood in front of Tsunade and said, "Let me go too."

Tsunade looked at Qi Fei in surprise, and even Jiraiya turned to look.

"Just me and Jiraiya-sama going there, it doesn't matter how many people there are, and this way safety is guaranteed."

Tsunade was very moved by Qi Fei's proposal. But she understood that Qi Fei was one of the few high-end combat forces in the village after Kakashi and the others left the village.

If even he leaves, then the village will really be like what Shizune said just now, in case of any emergency, it will lack enough manpower to deal with it.

Shizune, who originally wanted to speak, saw Tsunade's thoughtful look and knew that Tsunade understood the seriousness of the problem, so she stopped speaking to remind her.

"Okay, let's go to the Rain Hidden Village with you and Jiraiya to investigate the information about the Akatsuki organization and Pain!"

"Ah -" Shizune, who thought Tsunade could figure it out, almost broke her back at Tsunade's answer. She shouted: "Tsunade-sama, is this really okay?"

"No matter what, there will always be a way..."

"But……"

Ignoring Tsunade who was battling with Shizune, Qi Fei, who received the mission, followed Jiraiya and left the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya turned to Qi Fei who was following behind him and said, "Really, why are you meddling in other people's business? It's too early for you to do this now."

"No matter what, you are Naruto's master. I'm just trying to avoid unnecessary tragedies."

"Do you mean I will die? You underestimate me, kid."

"It should be said that you underestimated Pain." Qi Fei said silently, "It's a pity that I can't watch the decisive battle between Sasuke and Itachi with my own eyes."

There was no way, who knew Tsunade and the others would decipher Scorpion's memory so quickly and find the Akatsuki organization's lair.

In order not to repeat the tragedy of Jiraiya's sacrifice, Qi Fei had no choice but to follow Jiraiya himself to the Hidden Rain Village.

As for Itachi, he was unfamiliar with him and it was his wish to die in Sasuke's hands, so there was no reason for Qi Fei to intervene.
