Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit

In a remote small village in the northwest of the Country of Fire.

With a piece of grass in his mouth, Jiraiya was hugging two girls and talking about his "glorious achievements".

This includes, but is not limited to, taking the various "hearings" one has heard about the war and making them his or her own, and then adding fuel to the fire and using them as bragging rights.

It made the two girls giggle.

After spending a comfortable night, Jiraiya heard some news early the next morning from the bartender at the village's tavern.

There is a truce between Iwagakure Village and the Country of Rain.

When Jiraiya heard this, he didn't even have time to put on his pants and ran out in his underwear.

There was a reason for him to be so anxious. He followed the instructions of the Great Toad Immortal to travel around the world and search for the Son of Prophecy. During this period, apart from the problems in his private life, although he was idle and wasting his time every day, he also found some time to Fulfill the prophecy.

The Great Toad Sennin said that he also wrote a novel during his trip, and Jiraiya has indeed had thoughts in this regard recently.

Moreover, he has already begun to write the work, and he has already thought of the name of the protagonist, which he came up with while eating ramen.

Naruto, a very good name.

But then he got into trouble.

Because he has never experienced war...

He wanted to write a story about a ninja who went through many hardships and finally succeeded in defeating the enemy and helping the village win.

But he had never been on the battlefield, and he couldn't imagine what it was like to be a ninja on the battlefield.

And just when he had a headache, he heard the news.

Iwagakure and the Country of Rain are fighting again.

At first he didn't care, but when he heard that the fight got bigger and bigger, he couldn't sit still. He trekked all the way from the Bear Country in the southeast of Konoha across the Fire Country, and he was about to enter the Rain Country. As a result, you Tell me that you have a ceasefire?

Jiraiya was about to burst into tears, so he inquired carefully, oh, it turned out that the Third Hokage sold ten chakra cannons to the Country of Rain, and together with Iwagakure Village, ten cannons were not impossible to shoot, but that would probably cost hundreds of people. Thousands of ninjas thought about it and decided that it was not worth it, so they gave it up, stopped fighting, and went home to farm.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, but the other person was his eldest brother, so what was there to say?

Forget it, let’s go somewhere interesting in nearby Kangkang.

Then this day came...

…

He saw an old man with white hair under a tree.

He didn't want to pay attention to the beggar because he looked slovenly.

After staying in Konoha Village for a long time, he instinctively dislikes some beggars with hands and feet, because in Konoha Village, as long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work, it is impossible to starve to death.

Therefore, Jiraiya would generally ignore these beggars when he encountered them.

If such a beggar appears in a village, he will be taken away within ten minutes and forced to work.

Konoha is desperately short of people. You are not disabled and you only look like you are in your fifties. How can you be so lazy?

However, when Jiraiya passed the side of the figure lying under the big tree, he saw the bleeding bandage under the other person's kimono.

Jiraiya was a little surprised.

he got hurt?

Jiraiya thought to himself as his feet stopped moving.

Now 28 years old, Jiraiya is at the age of a passionate man.

He thought of a lot in just a moment.

He even imagined that the opponent was a ninja who escaped from the battlefields of Iwagakure Village and Rain Country.

After all, he couldn't help but die.

After all, this is not Konoha Village, and no one will treat such a sloppy beggar.

So, on this night, he lit a fire.

The crackling sound of the burning wood seemed to wake up the injured old man.

He opened his eyes drowsily, then struggled to sit up. When he saw the figure of the young man beside the fire, the old man was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled bitterly:

"Is this the underworld... I can even see my younger self..."

Jiraiya suddenly frowned: "Old man, you don't have to speak if you can't speak. Look at my heroic appearance, how is it like you were when you were young?"

In fact, Jiraiya was talking nonsense. When he saw the two oil paint marks on the old man's face, Jiraiya felt that he was similar to this old man.

But he certainly couldn't accept the fact that he looked similar to a slovenly old beggar.

As the saying goes, what you care about is what you will do after being pointed out.

Hearing what this dead old man said, of course Jiraiya jumped.

And after a brief period of confusion...

The person opposite suddenly hammered his palm: "Ah, yes, I forgot that this is another world...

So...I am still young in this world? "

Jiraiya looked at the old man opposite and shook his head helplessly.

The old man seemed to be out of his mind, and he could say such nonsense.

and……

Jiraiya looked the old man up and down. Except for the hair color, face shape and the paint on his face, which were exactly the same as his own, there weren't many similarities in other places...

Well, there is only a little bit of resemblance, and there is absolutely no way that I will be like this in the future.

However, the other party seemed to be interested. The old man came to Jiraiya without any sluggishness, hugged him and laughed: "I didn't expect it. I had bad luck after coming here. The first person I met was bastard Orochimaru. I thought his experiment had been successful at such a young age, but it turns out I am only that old~

Let's take a walk. Since I am young, I must know where there is a good dark building nearby, right? Take me there, take me there, as long as I get there, all injuries will be healed. "

Jiraiya hit the old man on the shoulder angrily: "Don't be so familiar, I don't know you at all!"

The old man chuckled, then opened his mouth and revealed Jiraiya's deepest secret: "You are traveling to the Land of Fire because of Toad Sage's prophecy, right?"

Jiraiya was a little surprised, because he didn't even tell his eldest brother, the current Hokage, about Toad Sage. How did this old man know about it?

Could it be...

No...impossible!

I will never look like this when I get older!

However, the old man produced more evidence.

One of them was playing into Jiraiya's hands.

Exactly what he's doing now working on his first novel...

[The old Jiraiya understood a lot when he saw his younger self. Although it was strange that at his age in this world, he should be participating in the war in the Land of Rain, and then he would meet Nagato, Yahiko and the others not long after.

However, this world does not have the atmosphere of war. It seems that I am just traveling?

But it doesn't matter, he is here to investigate after all, and he can investigate as long as he wants.

First gain the trust of yourself in this world, after all...

I am completely penniless now...]

Jiraiya fell silent.

In fact, people are such strange creatures. You don't know what kind of virtue you will be when you are old.

But one day, an old gangster who looks very awkward at first glance and is very arrogant appears in front of you. Although you have carefully looked at it yourself, you are actually 80% sure that this is your old self, but you still feel dissatisfied with this person in your heart. The conclusion felt resisting.

It's probably similar to: Why do I still look like this when I get old? ——Think like that.

Now Jiraiya is trapped in such self-doubt.

Fortunately, the old Jiraiya gave an explanation.

When Jiraiya heard that he was himself in another world, honestly speaking, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although strictly speaking, most people should be shocked to hear this news.

Especially when hearing it for the first time.

But compared to this being my future self...

It would be more acceptable to be a peer from another world who has no relationship at all.

Especially later, because Jiraiya was unwilling to take the old man to the dark building to have fun, the old Jiraiya began to cheat, which made Jiraiya even more convinced.

I definitely won't be like this when I get old.

Then the old man Jiraiya proposed a "deal".

To put it simply, he can provide some help to Jiraiya. For example, he really has the battlefield experience that Jiraiya needs most to write a book.

Because he has actually been on the battlefield.

Of course Jiraiya didn't believe it.

The old Jiraiya smiled slightly and said that in order to gain your trust, I can tell you some information about my world as the basis of trust.

Jiraiya hesitated a lot and finally agreed.

Then the old Jiraiya told Jiraiya a story.

A story about a Konoha village being attacked by four other major powers at the same time.

In their world, this war was called the Second Ninja War...

"Wait, the second time? You mean there have been more than one or two wars of this level? There won't be a third time, right?"

The old Jiraiya blinked and thought for a moment and asked, "Hasn't Konoha in this world been attacked by other villages even once?"

Jiraiya thought for a while and said: "If there is one, it would probably be when Konoha was attacked by Kumogakure Village and invaded when I was still young.

At that time, Iwagakure Village also wanted to attack us. "

The old Jiraiya sighed helplessly, isn't this still the same as their world?

So, maybe it’s just that the time in this world hasn’t come yet?

"What happened next?"

Jiraiya: "Later, my eldest brother managed logistics, and also used mutual trade to stabilize Sunagakure Village, which wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, persuaded Kirigakure Village to retreat, and withstood the frontal attacks of Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village. Well... …Then later, for some reason, the second generation Mizukage and the second generation Tsuchikage got into a fight and both died together. In the end, one village in Kumogakure surrendered because they couldn’t hold on any longer, and they were compensated two billion taels.”

The eyes on the old Jiraiya's face were already protruding from the shock, and his nose even flowed out.

you said……

Why is it different from what I know? !

The old Jiraiya shook his head, this is another world, this is another world...

but……

"Who is your elder brother? He sounds so powerful?"

The old Jiraiya asked seemingly casually.

In fact, this question is already considered as exploring information.

Yes, the old Jiraiya was much more experienced than the young Jiraiya. His rich experience made him know that he could get some information he needed from him when he saw his young self. .

In fact, when he first came here, he wanted to pretend to be Jiraiya of this world. After all, he had already obtained a panoramic album of Konoha Village in this world from Tsunade, as well as basic information about Konoha Village in this world.

But those are the most basic information.

And what he wants to know is naturally the division of administrative departments in Konoha Village. It is best to know how the powers are divided, how the administrative department works, what is the division of labor among the various levels of ninjas, and those in the scientific research department. What are the sub-departments...

Yamato's team heard these things during the month they came here, but due to insufficient authority, they were not qualified to enter, let alone investigate.

Of course he knew that the Hokage of this world was not Tsunade or even Sarutobi Hiruzen, but someone he had never heard of.

And because of this, he wanted to test himself in this world.

Jiraiya thought for a while and looked at his older self and said, "This, although saying it may seem like showing off, it's not something that shouldn't be said.

My eldest brother is the current Hokage. "

The old Jiraiya smiled slightly. When the other party was willing to tell this news that was actually not particularly important, the distance between the two parties naturally became closer.

The elder Jiraiya later explained the history of their world.

And Jiraiya was already a little confused: "Wait a minute, you mean your teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Third Hokage? Can he really be...

Oh, it’s not that I don’t trust the teacher, it’s just that… he’s definitely not qualified compared to my elder brother…”

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Mad, this apprentice of yours is really... really... talking nonsense and telling the truth...]

Then Jiraiya listened and exclaimed: "What?! Tsunade and her brother Nawaki are dead?"

The old Jiraiya clenched his fists. These are all to bring the relationship closer. These are all to bring the relationship closer...

So I continue to talk...

"What? You also went to the battlefield, and you, Tsunade, and Orochimaru also had the title of Sannin?"

The old Jiraiya took a deep breath and suppressed his discomfort again.

If you don't listen to me, can you not be surprised?

Can you be calm?

Who does your personality follow? !

So, let’s continue:

"What? Tsunade's boyfriend is also dead? Her boyfriend is Kato Dan? Hmm...who is that? I thought he was my eldest brother..."

The old Jiraiya held back hard, no, I can't get angry, I have to endure...

Wait, what did he just say?

"What did you say?! Who do you think you are? What does this have to do with your brother?!"

"I should ask this! Why is Tsunade's boyfriend not my eldest brother? Then where is my eldest brother?"

"No, isn't your eldest brother the current Hokage?! Why is he related to Tsunade?!"

"Nonsense! What's the relationship between the two of them when they get married?!"

"What?!" The old Jiraiya stuck out his tongue longer in shock than before.

Only then did he remember that there was something mentioned in the intelligence he had seen...

"Wait, I remember that Tsunade in this world has two children, so could it be..."

"Yes, hers and my eldest brother."

"..."

The old Jiraiya seems to have grasped the key to the problem...

"Now...I've told you about the situation in my world, it's your turn." The old Jiraiya suddenly became very interested in the history of this world.

…

In fact, the old Jiraiya still had one thing he didn't say, and that was about Orochimaru.

It's not that he deliberately hid it, it's just...

After all, he still did not completely regard Orochimaru as his enemy...

Of course, if he returns to his own world, he will definitely take action as soon as he sees Orochimaru and take him back to Konoha.

Just like...Naruto saw Sasuke.

And this night, after an old man and a young man reconciled the history of the two worlds, all that was left was a sigh...

"This world... is pretty good." The old Jiraiya looked across, as if he had seen the past, and then he smiled softly, "Try to cherish it, don't really have so many things like our world... tragedy."

Jiraiya snorted coldly: "Of course, I will. I will protect this world."

As expected of a 28-year-old, he easily said words that were embarrassing to death when he was a child.

This kind of talk is too childish for children, but it is just right for people of this age.

"Well, but before that, I want to read the book you wrote. Of course, I won't plagiarize. I just want to see what kind of content I wrote in another world and learn from it. You know, I have never been on the battlefield and need materials."

The old Jiraiya was suddenly stunned. Of course he remembered the content of his first book when he was young. After all, it was his first book. It was impossible to forget it, but...

He didn't have it with him.

And what's on him...

How should I put it, it definitely belongs to the high-quality category but...

Looking at his younger self, the old Jiraiya fell into deep thought. After a moment, he laughed shamelessly and patted his young self on the shoulder. He took out a book with a yellow cover from his clothes. , a book about a man chasing a woman was handed to his younger self: "This is the book I wrote. It was well received in my world and has been reprinted dozens of times."

Jiraiya immediately looked at the other person in surprise: "Dozens of times? Really? Are you so good? Could it be that...you are an artist?"

How to put it this way, if you always think that the other person is a beggar if he is slovenly, then you must think that the other person is nothing more than that.

But when I heard that the other person wrote a book, and the results were very good, he was a master who had republished it dozens of times.

Then I suddenly realized that the other person's sloppy appearance was actually a sign of spontaneity.

Jiraiya opened the book full of longing, he also wanted to be such an artist!

Then……

A minute later, he realized something was wrong...

What I want...the war material seems...

Not like this?

Ten minutes later, Jiraiya was a little autistic. What on earth was he looking at?

Half an hour later, Jiraiya couldn't take his eyes away.

An hour later, nothing could be heard except the sound of books being turned.

Two hours later, Jiraiya closed the book and looked at the old Jiraiya with bright eyes:

this!

This is it!

What I want to learn...

This is it!
