The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 154 Jiraiya and the one-eyed masked man

 Five days ago.

 On the night of the Fire Festival in the Land of Wind, the same moment when Hinata Yuto tried to feed him candy.

 The Land of Rain, Konoha Camp.

Jiraiya frowned and crushed the letter.

“Ah, Jiraiya, didn’t you ask me to deliver a message to Tsunade-hime?” A little toad looked at the man suspiciously:

 “Why do you tear it up after writing it?”

“For a writer, the mood can be reflected in the words. Every word in the letter just now gave off the aura of a bad man... Let’s forget it.”

Jiraiya asked the little toad to return to Mt. Miaomu, and sat alone in front of the table in a daze.

Even though his body has recovered, until now, Jiraiya can still feel the faint pain.

 “Nagato, why do you...”

 The tall man with white hair stopped suddenly.

That red-haired boy is smart, powerful, and has eyes as good as those of an immortal. More importantly, he has experienced war since he was a child. He knows what pain is and yearns for peace from the bottom of his heart.

"For this matter, you should go to Minato, he is the commander on the front line."

 Suddenly, a cold wind with a damp smell blew by.

Jiraiya's pupils shrank suddenly, and chakra surged in his body. As long as he had a slight thought, he could use the ninja technique Acupuncture Jizo to protect his whole body.

However, everything has changed. The savior who once had high hopes has now become an avenger with inner pain.

Uzumaki Nagato, that well-behaved and quiet disciple, can now crush his own bones with an expressionless face. When those mysterious samsara eyes look at him, the light radiating from them makes people shudder - pain, hatred, anger, as if withered. flowers.

 Twenty years ago, the prophecy made by the Toad Immortal still rings in my ears.

Even if you want to ask questions, it’s still too late to catch him and ask again.

 He wore a strange one-eyed mask and a black robe, with no trace of moisture on his clothes.

  No matter what your purpose is, if you break into the Konoha camp without permission, you will die!

　　啕—

 “…Uzumaki Nagato?”

Without asking such nonsense as "How did you get in?", Jiraiya stood up and slowly approached the one-eyed masked man with his tall body.

“I am really loyal to Konoha.” The one-eyed masked man said softly:

“Jiraiya, my target is the leader of the Akatsuki organization.”

 When Jiraiya saw the Rinnegan Eyes for the first time, he almost believed that Uzumaki Nagato was the legendary child of prophecy.

Jiraiya turned his head and stared at the mysterious man who was leisurely closing the window.

 Jiraiya, your apprentice will bring unprecedented major changes to the world, stability or destruction. You are the one who leads the changes. One day, you will be forced to make a major choice]

"I think, facing the Rinnegan that is his enemy, Konoha must have dreamed of getting rid of him, right?"

“He is worthy of being one of the three ninjas... his reaction is really quick.”

"No, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato is the commander-in-chief. He will consider the casualties and impact. Declaring war on another ninja village requires the Hokage's personal nod, but unlike you, you won't worry so much." The one-eyed masked man paused. After a pause, he continued:

“Because as long as you see an opportunity, you will kill Uzumaki Nagato at any cost...right?”

"I heard that you were once a master and apprentice, but more than half a year ago, he fought against you when he broke through the Four Red Sun Formation. Ha, both of them were aiming to kill each other, without any hesitation. It should be said that he is worthy of being a master. Disciple?"

“Why did they turn against each other? Why did they have such great intention to kill their former disciples? I don’t ask, and I don’t want to care.”

“But this murderous intention is the basis of our cooperation!”

The one-eyed masked man took out a scroll, placed it on the ground and pushed it gently, and the scroll rolled to Jiraiya's feet.

"Jiraiya, the specific content of our cooperation is here. You can choose whether to follow it or not." His body blended with the ground like a candle and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiraiya didn't stop him, nor did he move, like a broken pointer.

　　【One day, you will be forced to make a big choice】.

 …

 Five days later.

 “Teacher, I’m leaving.” Namifeng Shuimo put a Flying Thunder God Kunai behind his back and sighed to Jirai:

“Iwagakure launches a large-scale attack on Kusugakure Village. If they are defeated by Tsuchikage and others, the northern part of the Land of Fire will be undefeated. They must be stopped!”

"Teacher, I will lead one-third of my troops to Caoyin Village to provide support. You can just keep your home in the Country of Rain... Haha, you are Lao Jianghu, so I won't go into details."

Minato waved his hands and left the room.

Jiraiya looked at the direction Minato left and faintly heard his disciple's voice:

 “Call Kakashi and the others over, I have a task to do…”

Jilai didn’t hear what he said after that clearly, and he didn’t have the inclination to listen.

He remembered clearly that the first sentence on the scroll given by the one-eyed masked man was "Five days later at night, lead more than three thousand Konoha ninjas to attack the Rain Hidden Village."

 When Jiraiya saw this sentence for the first time, he scoffed at the one-eyed masked man's plan.

—Minato is the commander. Although he can also command the frontline troops, it is impossible to hide it from Minato. The first step of the plan is impossible!

 But now, Minato has been taken away.

The one-eyed masked man...has a way to influence the decisions of Iwagakure Village?

Jiraiya thought this way and watched Minato leave with the army.

The energy of that mysterious man was more terrifying than imagined, but Iwagakure's attack and Minato's departure also proved that this cooperation was by no means a conspiracy led by Uzumaki Nagato.

Yuyin Village is not that capable yet.

 A few hours later, as the sky grew dark, Jiraiya put on his armor in silence, ordered three thousand Konoha ninjas, and attacked the Amegakure Village.

 He made a choice.

 Compared to the "reincarnation eye that may destroy the world", the risk you take is nothing.

Jiraiya was even mentally prepared. If an accident happened, he would ask all Konoha troops to withdraw and he would be able to stop the rear by himself!

boom!

boom!

 Two small lines of smoke rose, and Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders.

 “Help me enter the immortal mode, thank you two immortals for your hard work...”

"Little Jiraiya, you look very ugly. What's wrong? Are you still having a headache looking for the Son of Prophecy?"

"I'm afraid the child of prophecy has been found." Jiraiya pretended not to care and forced a smile:

 “But now, I’m going to kill him, hahaha…”

 Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other, did not ask any more questions, and just slowly absorbed the natural energy.

Not long after, Jiraiya's appearance began to change. Small pimples appeared on his skin, and a unique facial makeup appeared on his face. The chakra in his body increased fiercely at a geometric speed, turning into a powerful senjutsu chakra.

 —Sage mode, on!

Jiraiya opened his eyes, revealing rectangular pupils.

　　Boom!

 He broke through the rain curtain and ran at the front of the Konoha troops, no longer confused.

 The troubles caused by one’s own hands must of course be solved by one’s own hands.
