Konoha's task master

Hotel, in the guest room.

Yakumo gave the water escape scroll written by Sataro Sada to Rina Uzumaki and asked her to learn it. The ninja world is very dangerous...and Rina Uzumaki needs some ability to protect herself.

In addition, the training method of water bombs was put away by him... Even if the master-level changes are eliminated... the training conditions of water bombs still require extremely deep changes in the nature of water chakra.

Uzumaki Rina needs to first understand the impact power of water chakra before she can start practicing water bomb training, and Water Release and Water Rush Wave can just be used as a foundation.

In the evening, Yakumo stood up and looked at the rain through the curtains. Jiraiya still hadn't returned. After all, they hadn't seen each other for several years... it was very possible for them to stay directly.

"Let's go downstairs and have something to eat."

"good."

Rina Uzumaki put down the scroll in her hand, and the two of them put on their bamboo hats and left the guest room one after another, quickly going down the stairs.

The area of ​​Yuyin Village is very small, and due to the constant rain, it is impossible to grow food and can only rely on imports from abroad, which directly leads to high food prices.

Not long after, two bowls of hot noodles were placed in front of the two of them. The noodles were covered with fried eggs and barbecued pork, and they smelled fragrant.

Yakumo started to sneer without politeness...

"You can let go of your belly...eat more, which will help your body recover." Yakumo slurped the noodles and said to Uzumaki Rina in a vague voice.

"Okay...then give me a little more..."

Two bowls, three bowls...five bowls...ten bowls...

A smile appeared on Yakumo's face.

"It turns out to be hundreds of millions of dollars..."

After the meal, Uzumaki Rina burped, her face became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye...and her spirits became very high.

"I seem to have eaten too much..."

Only then did Uzumaki Rina realize that the people around her were peeking at her with strange eyes...

Silently lowering his head...like an ostrich.

I thought to myself, Oh no, no, will Yakumo dislike me for eating too much...?

"It's okay...it's a blessing to be able to eat..."

The demand for food by ninjas is slightly higher than that of normal people, especially after the intense consumption of chakra. For example, in the original work, Tsunade woke up from a coma and directly eliminated the food stock in the Hokage's office... and also had the intention to kill Dodo.

Yakumo smiled and put on his hat.

The biggest fear of being a doctor is that the patient will not worry...

"Let's go for a walk."

"good…"

The two of them stepped forward and melted into the rain. Yakumo did not immediately look for Jiraiya, but bought many delicacies with characteristics of the Land of Rain one after another.

Of course these are all prepared for milk balls...

At the same time, Yakumo is also secretly observing Uzumaki Rina. He needs to find out what kind of person she is.

In the rain curtain, Yakumo formed a seal with his hands.

"The fluctuation of the heart."

The invisible fluctuations spread and rebounded, and in a few breaths Yakumo had already confirmed Jiraiya's location, southwest of Amegakure Village, which was the civilian area of ​​Amegakure Village.

The two of them shuttled quickly through the rain, and the water on the road gradually became more and more. It was obvious that the drainage system in the civilian area was not as good as that in the commercial area, and the surrounding buildings were even lower. The shortest one was only about two floors, and a large part of it was already soaked in water.

in the water…

Yakumo led Rina Uzumaki as she jumped between buildings. There were even fewer pedestrians on the road. Through the rain curtain, there were pairs of guarded and indifferent eyes.

Rina Uzumaki subconsciously held Yakumo's right hand...

"It's okay...I'm here...don't be afraid."

Yakumo gently broke away...

Then he quickened his pace...

Ten minutes later, Yakumo arrived at the Akatsuki organization's stronghold.

A six-story building with a lightning rod standing on the top of the tower.

Jiraiya's aura is now on the sixth floor. There are many chakra fluctuations in this building, but the level is very low, only about ten...

A group of genin...

Huh... Yakumo led Rina Uzumaki to the second floor.

Immediately someone stepped out of the shadows.

This person is about twelve or thirteen years old, male...with dark gray hair, wearing ill-fitting clothes, and looks a little malnourished...holding a kunai in his hand...full of wariness in his eyes.

Yakumo secretly cursed himself for being confused and confusing the timeline... The current Akatsuki organization is just a mutual rescue organization formed by Yahiko to win over a group of war orphans. It does not have the scale to affect the rule of Sansho Hanzo in a few years.

Now Sansho Hanzo may not be aware of the existence of the Akatsuki organization at all, so what exactly is Danzo’s intention in going to the Land of Rain?

"Is this... the Akatsuki organization's stronghold?"

Yakumo took off his bamboo hat to reveal his youthful face. When the man holding the kunai saw Yakumo's face clearly, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and put the kunai in the pocket on his thigh.

"That's right, are you here to release a mission, or do you want to join our organization..." the gray-haired young man asked enthusiastically.

"I came to see the three leaders. In a sense, I am their junior brother." Yakumo quickly replied.

"That's it... okay then..."

"The three leaders are on the sixth floor... follow me..."

The gray-haired boy didn't hesitate at all.

He turned around and took Yakumo along the stairs to the sixth floor. His vigilance could be said to be...basically zero. It could also be that Yakumo's appearance was extremely deceptive.

"Thum, thump,... thump."

On the larger platform on the sixth floor, Jiraiya was eating the chicken drumsticks baked by Konan, his mouth full of grease... Suddenly he raised his head and looked towards the stairs.

Just at this time... Under the leadership of the gray-haired boy, Yakumo climbed to the sixth floor, and their eyes met... Jiraiya silently pushed out the chicken drumstick in his hand.

"Do you want to eat it? The taste of Xiaonan's roast is... great."

Yakumo was stunned...

Ten minutes later, Yakumo was completely impressed by Konan's cooking skills, and finally...understood why Jiraiya came out hungry to find...a group of three.

"Introduce each other..." Jiraiya said.

"drink!"

Yahiko jumped up, took a pose in front of Yakumo's surprised eyes, and then introduced him loudly to Yakumo.

"We are the Toad Spirits of Mt. Myoboku, disciples of Senso Taoist, commonly known as Toad Immortal. We are three members of Amegakure, named Jiraiya Team...I am Yahiko!"

"I am...Uzumaki Nagato!"

Uzumaki Nagato immediately... stood up and cooperated.

"Um...I'm...Xonan!"

Xiaonan, on the other hand, had to be more perfunctory, with a face full of reluctance.

"Well... you can call me Yakumo. I studied under Konoha's medical jounin Aoyama Reiko and the medical saint Tsunade. I'm pretty good at medical ninjutsu." Yakumo introduced.

At the same time, I thought to myself... Could it be that this guy Yahiko has the legendary social nerd...?

"Why are you here?" Jiraiya forced a smile.

This kid is really a drama star...acting again.

If Yakumo's medical ninjutsu can only be regarded as passable, then 99% of the medical ninjas in the ninja world are not worthy of calling themselves... medical ninjas.

"Jiraiya-sama, your body still needs to be treated at night...otherwise the wound is likely to worsen...if that makes my treatment more difficult."

Yakumo replied with a chuckle.

"Master Jiraiya...are you injured?"

Yahiko exclaimed, and immediately moved nervously to Jiraiya's side, and began to search the wound up and down with his hands.

Jiraiya...scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay...a small problem!"

"That's right, injuries can't knock down a real man!"

Yahiko stood up, looked at the rain curtain and shouted loudly.

"Hey... isn't this just a replica of Jiraiya?"

Yakumo held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

Yahiko... isn't he the only legendary mouth escape master who can compete with Uzumaki Naruto... Why does he look so much like Jiraiya in his youth now?

"You're right...real men are not afraid of injuries!"

Jiraiya took out the Quotations of Heroes and started recording them.

Although this was said by Yahiko...

But the next second...belongs to the hero Jiraiya!

Uzumaki Nagato and Konan looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Yahiko was usually an extremely wise and reliable leader, but when he met Master Jiraiya, some strange changes occurred between the two of them.

…

This change... is called... Jiraiya transformation by Xiaonan. Because he admires someone very much, his personality traits gradually become closer to that person.

At the same time, Yahiko and Jiraiya spoke at the same time...

"As expected of...Jiraiya-sensei!"

"As expected of...my beloved disciple...Yahiko!"

Two Jiraiyas…

"Okay, okay..." Yakumo stood up.

Interrupting the mutual praise between master and disciple.

His hands were formed into seals, glowing green.

After hearing this, Jiraiya put away his notes, took off his shirt and began to cooperate with the treatment. The green light wrapped the wound and gradually healed.

Yahiko, Uzumaki Nagato, and Konan stood behind Jiraiya, and their eyes flashed with distress as they looked at the huge scars.

Uzumaki Nagato and Konan's feelings for Jiraiya are more reserved, but this...doesn't mean that they don't care about Jiraiya.

Not long after, Konan and Yahiko's eyes flashed with surprise. The wounds healed so quickly. This boy who claimed to have a passable medical ninjutsu...

It doesn't look very simple...

"Hey, you are from the Uzumaki clan...right?"

Uzumaki Rina suddenly pulled Uzumaki Nagato aside and pointed at Uzumaki Nagato's red hair.

He asked in a low voice.

"That's right...what's wrong?"

Uzumaki Nagato replied, a hint of surprise flashed in his purple eyes. For some reason, he felt his mother's breath on Rina Uzumaki.

"I am also from the Uzumaki clan..."

Rina Uzumaki lifted a corner of her wig, revealing her red hair. Nagato Uzumaki's eyes flashed with kindness, and the two began to hide in the corner and chat...in private.

After half an hour, the treatment was completed.

Wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"I'll talk to Yakumo about the mission..."

Jiraiya put on his clothes, led Yakumo to the top of the tower and looked at the dim sky. Jiraiya said.

"Your intelligence is partially wrong. At present, the Akatsuki organization has not aroused the fear of Sansho Hanzo, but the roots are indeed monitoring the Akatsuki organization... It should be said that it is Uzumaki Nagato."

Jiraiya's eyes flashed with coldness.

"It should be for...the Samsara Eye."

Jiraiya continued.

"Elder Danzo... is an extremely proud man. The challenge and humiliation from Sakumo some time ago completely drove him crazy. He needs stronger power, such as the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

"That's right..." Yakumo nodded.

Jiraiya's analysis was very reasonable. Danzo's plans were repeatedly frustrated, and he was even severely damaged by Hatake Sakumo in public.

He... couldn't bear this kind of insult, and had nowhere to vent... he could only look for... an external force that could defeat Hatake Sakumo.

For example... Immortal Eyes.

"Then Jiraiya-sama...what are you going to do?"

Yakumo asked.

Jiraiya looked at the corner of the rain curtain in the distance.

Rain poured down on both of them.

After a few minutes...he spoke in a low voice.

"There is a root member hidden there, and he is responsible for monitoring Uzumaki Nagato. Now that he has seen my face, he will definitely report it to Elder Danzo..."

Jiraiya paused slightly...

"Then... when I leave later, Danzo will most likely... order that person to take me to see him, ask Jiraiya-sama why he came to Amegakure Village, and judge whether it will ruin his plan..."

Yakumo continued, saying that he had already guessed Jiraiya's plan, which was to...get rid of...Danzo before Danzo took action against Uzumaki Nagato.

"When you meet Danzo and start to tell the information...he will definitely be fascinated by what he heard. At this time...the probability of a successful assassination will be extremely high..."

Jiraiya continued to add.

"I didn't expect...Jiraiya-sama to have such a dark side..."

Yakumo opened his eyes and observed Jiraiya carefully, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"These...are all the result of that guy Orochimaru."

Jiraiya… replied.

"Then...will Lord Jiraiya help?"

Yakumo asked.

Now that Danzo's injuries have healed, what he needs to face is no longer Danzo whose strength is impaired, but Danzo in full condition.

"After all, Danzo is an elder of Konoha. I can't take action directly, but I can support you in other ways... After injecting chakra into this scroll, it will summon the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima. The two immortals will use it immediately..."

"Magic, the toad is singing."

Jiraiya took out a dark green scroll from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Yakumo. This plan is feasible... Toad's singing is a sound illusion that can temporarily control Tendo Payne, so it is easy to restrain Danzo.

"Then... what happens after Danzo is eliminated? What are Jiraiya-sama's next plans... to return to Konoha... or to stay in the Land of Rain...?" Yakumo continued to ask.

"I should stay in the Country of Rain with Yahiko and the others for a while. After all, we haven't seen each other for several years..."

The most important reason is that the ninja world is now in a period of peace. Konoha's military strength is increasing day by day, and there is no longer as urgent a need for high-end combat power to guard Konoha Hidden Village as it once was.

"Okay then." Yakumo sighed.

After a few seconds... he continued to ask.

"Jiraiya-sama...if Uncle Sakumo proposes to choose Hokage again in the future...who will you support...?"

"Hatake Sakumo...the old man...has long reached the age to enjoy his old age." Jiraiya answered immediately without hesitation.

Jiraiya... still respects Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he can also feel that the teacher's energy and strength have declined in recent years, especially the shielding of Danzo and nepotism in recent years... which makes Jiraiya...

I also felt a bit dissatisfied in my heart.

"If you think so...I'm really happy."

Yakumo answered with a smile.

The two returned to the tower...

Jiraiya thought for a moment... seals...

Press the palm of your hand on the ground, and the ink marks and cipher text will appear.

The white smoke disperses.

A huge and ancient scroll appeared.

"This is... the contract scroll of Miaomu Mountain."

Jiraiya handed the scroll to Yakumo... The scroll was spread out, and one name after another appeared in front of him, but the only ones that were familiar to him were... Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato.

"Let's make a contract." Jiraiya said softly.

"Okay... Yakumo bites off his finger and signs the contract."

Words of blood emerge…

"Ii Yakumo."

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
