Chapter 12 Heroic Tears

As he spoke, a strong aura burst out from Jiraiya's body, completely different from his previous lustful and casual appearance.

The huge pressure made Sasuke dare not even raise his head, leaving only one fearful thought lingering in his heart: If you lie, you will die!

"Yes."

"What's the tie?" Jiraiya pressed forward step by step.

No, can't tell the truth.

The other party won't believe it. If you say this, I'm afraid it will only make things worse.

Moreover, exposing the system to a stranger like this would probably have even more unpredictable consequences in the cruel world of ninjas.

The Will of Steel once again turned the tide.

"It's an immortal from the West. I dreamed about him."

died.

Sasuke secretly complained. Although the will of steel held him back from telling the truth, he was really not good at making up lies. He could only follow the tips of netizens and tell nonsense.

Little did he know that this sentence was an unbiased one, and it hit Jiraiya's heart right in the heart.

"Dream?"

Didn't the prophecy that the Toad Immortal told him about the Son of Prophecy come from through dreams?

As for the West, that couldn’t be more right! Miaomu Mountain, where the toads live, is not in the far west!

Jiraiya became more and more excited as he thought about it: "Does the immortal you are talking about look like a toad?"

"Ah? Uh, yes, right?" Sasuke saw Jiraiya, who was thinking hard for a while and ecstatic for a while. He couldn't figure out the movement for a while, so he could only respond vaguely.

"That's right, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? If you want to achieve great things, you must have great hatred!"

"Either unprecedented stability or destruction."

"Don't you just need my guidance?!"

"Yes, yes, that must be the case."

Jiraiya was pacing back and forth excitedly. If the son of prophecy was really a great and upright master, how could he cause destruction? Why do you need to guide yourself?

"Very good! From today on, you, Uchiha, what is your name?"

"Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."

"That's right! Uchiha Sasuke! From today on, you are one of the three invincible ninjas in the world regardless of east, west or north. You are the white-haired boy toad messenger, a handsome man who captivates all living beings. You are Lord Jiraiya's official disciple!"

Jiraiya was seen dancing and singing and rapping directly.

Sasuke had a dark look on his face.

How could there be someone more disgusting than Naruto in this world?

"However, it's getting late today, and I still have some, hey, important things to do as a teacher. You go back and rest first. We will meet again at this place early tomorrow morning."

"No matter how you look at it, it's not an important thing, right?"

Without waiting for Sasuke to protest, Jiraiya turned around and walked towards the tavern, murmuring to himself happily as he walked:

"Oh my, Konoha is such a lucky place. We must celebrate it tonight!"

If it hadn't been for the previous burst of momentum, Sasuke would really have doubted, could such a guy really be as powerful as Orochimaru? ——

"Oh, there are always people disturbing me. This is also the trouble of returning to my hometown."

At the bar along the street, Jiraiya had a large glass of beer in front of him. He was drinking to his heart's content when he suddenly sighed.

"It's really you! I didn't know that my senior had returned, so I couldn't pay my respects in time. It was really rude."

"Save it, Kakashi."

"Is that child the last Sharingan?"

"Yes, Uchiha Sasuke, you are my subordinate now."

"Since you are a subordinate, why do you follow him secretly?" Jiraiya asked.

Kakashi had a sudden thought and replied: "As expected of Lord Jiraiya. I don't mean any harm. This is Lord Hokage's order."

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi told Orochimaru's recent movements, Anko's speculation about Sasuke, and the Third Hokage's mission statement.

"Hokage-sama has been looking for your whereabouts, but there has been no news. I didn't expect you to be in the village. Hokage-sama will be very happy to know." Kakashi couldn't hide his joy.

With such an adult sitting in charge, it will become much easier to protect the peace of Konoha.

"Have the third generation heard about me?"

"Not yet."     "Yes, that's good."

"Did you come back because of Orochimaru?"

"Unfortunately, it's not the case. I came back here to find material for a novel. I don't like to get into any trouble."

"What are you talking about? You should also know very well that you can stop Orochimaru."

Jiraiya interrupted Kakashi directly: "I heard that Uzumaki Naruto is also your subordinate?"

"Ah, yes."

Suddenly, Jiraiya came close to Kakashi's ear and whispered: "So, you are going to train Sasuke, who has the Sharingan Eye, as a controller, and Naruto as a weapon?"

Kakashi was stunned and did not answer directly, but whispered: "Everything the third generation did was to protect the peace of Konoha."

"Yes, there is nothing more important than this, protecting the peace of Konoha"

Jiraiya took another sip of beer, seemed to be answering, and seemed to be talking to himself.

In a daze, he seemed to see Namikaze Minato's face again.
-

The next morning, next to the hot spring.

Familiar place, familiar uncle, familiar posture.

"cough!"

Sasuke was at a loss and could only make as much noise as possible to remind this old and disrespectful master.

"Cough cough!"

However, given Jiraiya-sama's dedication to art, I'm afraid that even if Sasuke coughs up blood, he won't take away half of his attention.

Just when Sasuke was extremely uneasy, Jiraiya finally turned around inadvertently and saw the person standing with his back to him.

"Oh! You're here!" Jiraiya whispered, still staring at the beautiful scenery.

"Yes." Sasuke responded.

He really didn't know what to say in this situation.

After another long while, Jiraiya seemed to have made up some great determination. He turned back three times, stood up reluctantly, and walked towards the river.

"Tell me more about your dream."

Looking at Jiraiya's expectant eyes, Sasuke had to repeat the lie again.

"Anyway, a sage,"

"A sage like a toad," Jiraiya added.

"Yes, a toad-like immortal appeared in my dream and told me that I will bring great changes to the ninja world in the future. But if I want to achieve this, I must get the guidance of Lord Jiraiya."

"And he told me that just yesterday, you would definitely appear in Konoha Village!"

Sasuke looked up and saw that Jiraiya had tears streaming down his face.

After Nagato and Namikaze Minato died one after another, he traveled around the world over the years, continuing to pursue his illusive dream.

As the years go by, the sadness in my heart increases.

(Note: Jiraiya had received news from Toad before and mistakenly believed that the three Nagatos had died in the Third Ninja War)

After the conversation yesterday, Jiraiya was still a little doubtful.

But after thinking about it all night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Sasuke was that child.

Now, after hearing Sasuke's dream prophecy that was almost exactly consistent with what the Great Toad Sage said, Jiraiya finally no longer had the slightest doubt and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This is really, really unfair. Woohoo."

"I've been looking for him for so many years, how come he can get such clear guidance, not only accurate to the time, but even the location! Woohoo."

"Teacher, master."

Sasuke didn't understand that what was accumulated in these raging tears was the man in front of him, this heroic man. In the flames of blood and hatred, he had been pursuing the prophecy for more than thirty years, igniting hopes and being disappointed again and again.

 After several missed shots, the one I love most has been unable to sign the contract. As I write this, I feel deep in my heart. Thank you to all book friends who have continued to read, commented, voted for recommendations, and other silent supporters. You are the only reason why I continue to persevere. Thanks for everything and best wishes to everyone.
