Red sand dust

Not long ago, Daimaru and Onoki teamed up to fight against the owner of the Rinnegan Eye, which had spread throughout the ninja world. As a Konoha ninja, Jiraiya couldn't deal with the Tsuchikage Sandaime, so he had to trouble Daimaru.

"In addition, the previous information about immortal mode, immortal eyes and immortal human body can also be regarded as a by-product of my request. I am still considering whether to agree to remain neutral between you and Miaomu Mountain, so you will give me some The sweetness has given me an advantage, and I always feel embarrassed..."

Jiraiya, who had a heavy nasal voice, shook his head and said awkwardly,

"The main reason is that I don't know what the 'rules dispute' you are talking about is about! Also, aren't you afraid that I will turn my back on you and deny my account?"

Daimaru replied very patiently:

"If we really meet each other, you will definitely know that this is not a problem! As for the worry of breaking the contract, ours is a gentleman's agreement, and it is not on paper. It depends entirely on personal conduct to keep the agreement alive..."

"Oh well!"

Now that Daimaru said so, Jiraiya didn't refuse anymore.

"The Sand Ninja, who has always given people the impression of being sinister and domineering, has also given birth to a bold young man like you..."

Daimaru shrugged, not pretending to be humble and polite.

It's just a matter of discernment when it comes to people's food. When dealing with Jiraiya, it's not enough to care about everything. When you're already quite drunk, you'll get what you want more if you give in to others.

"Senior, do you want to continue? Do you want to find a secluded place to continue chatting?"

Even though Daimaru controlled it so as not to reveal the content of the conversation, it was still in an izakaya, not a serious place to do business.

The two chatted as they pleased, and then went to the relatively simple hospital in Naruto Village.

It is said to be the only place to save lives and heal the wounded in the village, but in fact it is a semi-permanent simple field hospital built with puppet materials. The facilities are relatively complete, but there is a serious shortage of medical staff.

In the special care ward in the innermost room, after checking Naruto Uzumaki's condition, Jiraiya came to the duty room next door. The others had left, and only Daimaru was waiting.

"That's almost it, let's get started!"

Jiraiya, who couldn't wait to know whether he could find the shadows of young Nagato, Yahiko and Konan from Daimaru's information, had already been prepared.

"Then...Senior Jiraiya, relax, don't resist, listen carefully to what I'm saying..."

Suddenly, there was a ringing in the ears, which made Jiraiya slightly distracted.

"What did you say?"

Before the alcohol had dissipated and Toad Sento was beginning to feel trance-like, he saw Daimaru opening and closing his mouth and seemed to be talking, but at such a close distance, he could not hear the voice from the other side.

"Is it an illusion?"

Jiraiya, who sensed something was wrong, was about to instinctively counterattack and dispel the genjutsu, but he had an idea and stopped his movements, allowing the genjutsu chakra to surge within his body.

After a while, Jiraiya, who felt top-heavy, came to a fantasyland where the sky and the earth were dotted with fireflies of light.

After a while, the scenery changed again, and the vision suddenly went dark. When it became bright again, it was already a somewhat desolate wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of Daimaru galloping in the sky and Onoki, who is getting stronger and stronger, taking turns to attack, and fighting with five or six figures wearing black red cloud robes.

"This perspective and way of perception are a bit strange! 』

The sky is gray, and the grass on the ground looks like it is not growing well. It should be yellow and dilapidated, but now it is the same dark brown as the ground.

Although this place is not a lively place, nor is it completely devoid of color, in Jiraiya's sight, there are only three colors, black, white and gray, and objects can only be identified by different shades.

"You're actually color blind?" 』

Not only that, the owner of Jiraiya's current perspective has amazingly good dynamic vision. Daimaru, who is flying rapidly in the sky to cover Onoki's attack, is so fast that his reflexes cannot keep up. This pair of eyes confirms that he can see clearly with ease. .

"The dynamic vision is so good that it is amazing. It is estimated that only a few pupil-type blood successors can be better than this." Could it be that this body also possesses eye skills? Wait, that’s not quite right...』

While he was guessing, Jiraiya suddenly understood.

"I thought wrong. It's not the blood inheritance limit. The truth is that the owner of these eyes is not a gifted but color-blind human, but a reptile that hunts by surprise..."

Sure enough, a slender, forked tongue stretched out in front of his eyes from time to time, exploring the surrounding smell and sensing nearby movements, confirming Jiraiya's guess.

Not only that, Jiraiya was also surprised to find that the owner of this body might be not small and could become invisible.

"Giant desert chameleon!" 』

The well-informed Jiraiya quickly reacted.

Unexpectedly, Daimaru would allow him to observe from the perspective of a psychic beast with a low IQ. Jiraiya smiled bitterly in his heart. Telling him in this way also proved that Daimaru was not trying to hide it, but was really telling the truth. The promise was fulfilled.

Following the footsteps of this giant desert chameleon, carefully cruising on the edge of the fierce battle, through super dynamic vision, Jiraiya finally saw the appearance of those people.

Because of the age, it was impossible for Jiraiya to easily recognize a stranger who had only met a few times before. Compared with the young Yahiko, the short orange-haired Tendo had also changed a lot.

This also makes it extremely difficult for Jiraiya to identify these "old acquaintances".

"No one matches the number!" 』

First of all, make sure that there is no one similar to Nagato in the Six Paths of Pain. After all, it is difficult not to notice the conspicuous red hair of the Uzumaki family.

"Did I think wrong?" 』

Jiraiya, who was hesitating and somewhat regretful that he had not found the key element, suddenly saw Daimaru exerting his strength, defeating the enemy's defense and powerfully capturing Hungry Ghost Road.

Immediately afterwards, Ohnoki and Daimaru, who lacked stamina, were unable to pursue, and the enemy retreated very cautiously.

Among the information sent by Sunagakure Village to Konoha Village, there was an unconfirmed speculation that the owners of the Rinnegan Eye were puppets, which also gave Jiraiya some hope.

Whether Nagato was kidnapped by bad guys and committed evil, or his temperament changed drastically due to being deceived, as long as the three students who failed to bring back to Konoha Village were alive, Jiraiya would have to deal with it to the end.

In the following time, the giant desert chameleon, which had excellent concealment and detection capabilities, followed the enemy's traces and reached the border of the Kingdom of Rain before returning without success.

"Sure enough, it's still here. It seems that the investigation of the Kingdom of Rain is imperative!" 』

It was the place where the fledgling "Sannin" became famous. Nagato was born there and disappeared together with Yahiko and Konan.
