Chapter 107: Chapter 117
[Beep!]
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
[Welcome Konoha's ninja, one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, to the group chat.]
[@Jiraiya, your old acquaintance Minato Namikaze is here.]
[Minato Namikaze]: Eh?
[Minato Namikaze]: Jiraiya-sensei!
[Tobirama Senju]: Sarutobi's… disciple?
[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, Jiraiya, who is one of the Legendary Sannin along with Orochimaru and Lady Tsunade.
[Minato Namikaze]: He was my Jonin instructor during my Genin days.
[Kakashi Hatake]: So that's like my relationship with Naruto, Sasuke, and Kitahara Kaede… Wait!
[Kakashi Hatake]: Jiraiya-sama…
[Kakashi Hatake]: Ah, this is…
[Minato Namikaze]: Kakashi, what's wrong? Is there something about Jiraiya-sensei?
[Kakashi Hatake]: Um… when you ask if there's something wrong…
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Don't tell me Jiraiya also betrayed Konoha like Orochimaru did?
[Minato Namikaze]: That can't be. Jiraiya-sensei, too…?
[Kakashi Hatake]: Ah—no, not like that. He still belongs to Konoha. It's just that…
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Just what?
[Minato Namikaze]: Just what?
[Kakashi Hatake]: …this is… well…
[Beep]
[Might Guy has come online]
[Morning Peacock, Noon Tiger, Evening Elephant, Night Guy Dance]
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: Ah, Kakashi.
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: Oh, a newcomer?
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: Jiraiya-sama, huh!
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: That's great, Kakashi—your idol is here.
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: Isn't this perfect?
[The man who kicked Uchiha Madara with Eight Gates Released Formation]: You really love his Make-Out Paradise series, right? You can finally get his autograph.
Guy was as straightforward and outspoken as ever.
[Minato Namikaze]: Make-Out Paradise?
[Minato Namikaze]: Is that a new book by Jiraiya-sensei?
[Minato Namikaze]: Um… the title sounds a bit… a bit…
Minato had read Jiraiya's book before, even naming Naruto after the main character.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: So Sarutobi's disciple is also an author, huh.
[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, part of Jiraiya-sensei's income came from missions, the rest from writing books.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: I remember now… He paid off Tsunade's debt once.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Seems like a good person.
[Minato Namikaze]: Um… First Hokage-sama, your evaluation is a little… complicated.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: But he must be a man of strong character too, right?
[@Jiraiya, come say hello to everyone.][Welcome to the Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[Also known as the "Kitahara Kaede Live Broadcast Group," which streams three hours daily tracking Kaede's movements.]
[@Jiraiya]
[Jiraiya!]
[Jiraiya]: Whoa! The old man has arrived!
[Jiraiya]: Eh?
[Beep!]
[Congratulations, Jiraiya, for receiving the special title: "Pervy Sage"]
[Your Make-Out Paradise series is well-loved by readers, but they hope it can be even more pervy.]
[Jiraiya]: ???
[Pervy Sage]: ...
"...""...""..."
[Everyone]: ...
The group's atmosphere suddenly froze.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: So… Sarutobi's disciples are truly… unique.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: So Make-Out Paradise is… that kind of book.
[Pervy Sage]: ...
[Pervy Sage]: It's not like that! It's not that kind of book! It's just a little bit…
[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: Kakashi, so this is the kind of book you read, huh?[Kakashi Hatake]: Um… this…
Kakashi's soul avatar turned completely red, practically smoking.
[Tobirama Senju]: ...
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: What is it, Tobirama?
[Tobirama Senju]: …Hmm. Actually, the leader of the Akatsuki, Pain, possesses the Rinnegan. And Danzo once offended them. So their leader harbors hostility toward Konoha.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: This is also Danzo's fault!?
[Pervy Sage]: ? … ???
[Pervy Sage]: … ??? Wait. Danzo… Rinnegan… Don't tell me—it's Nagato!?
[Pervy Sage]: Nagato and the others are alive!?
[Pervy Sage]: Wait, are you all… what the—!!
Jiraiya's soul avatar almost jumped out of his skin.
Because on his journey collecting materials, he suddenly saw a system screen appear. He thought it was fake or a genjutsu.
But then…
He found himself here.
And saw…
The First Hokage, Second Hokage… Minato! Kakashi, Guy, Ōnoki, Mei, even Chiyo.
Wait… the Tailed Beasts, Shukaku and Kurama too!?
Eh? Who's this "Big Filial Son - Black Zetsu"?
Jiraiya was confused.
But now, all the things they were revealing…
[Tobirama Senju]: !?? You know about Pain and the Rinnegan? Who is this Nagato?
[Pervy Sage]: Um…
[Tobirama Senju]: Jiraiya, right? Look at the system prompts first.
[Tobirama Senju]: Understand the situation before replying. Let me introduce myself—I'm the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
[Pervy Sage]: …Um.
[Minato Namikaze]: Jiraiya-sensei, you really know the Akatsuki's leader, Pain?
[Pervy Sage]: Minato…
[Pervy Sage]: Looks like I really am caught in a genjutsu… But… if this is a genjutsu, it's not too bad.
[Pervy Sage]: ...
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: ...[Minato Namikaze]: ...
Everyone was speechless.
Because even though Jiraiya was joking, they could tell—he saw his dead student and lost control.
The bond between Konoha's teachers and students is truly… unique.
Mei and Ōnoki shrugged.
As for Black Zetsu…
[Big Filial Son - Black Zetsu]: ...
He had no interest in Jiraiya or the Rinnegan.
His only concern was: why hasn't Kitahara Kaede returned to Konoha yet!?
Return already! Lady Kaguya and her rabbit have been guarding that home alone for so long!
Can't Kaede feel even a little heartache?
Though he still couldn't confirm if the ninja rabbit—White Bunny—was Kaguya's real body, it was definitely related to her.
So to Black Zetsu, they were one and the same.
...
Just as Black Zetsu was about to complain again, he noticed that Obito had returned from his long journey.
[Beep!]
[Big Filial Son - Black Zetsu has gone offline]
Black Zetsu logged off and appeared before Obito.
"Did you get it?"
"Yup!"
Obito replied, "I managed to steal it."
"But…"
Even though he had the item now, Obito was desperate to shoot Black Zetsu straight to the moon.
But since it was still daytime, they couldn't determine the moon's precise location—so they'd have to wait for nightfall.
