Chapter 84: Chapter 84: I Bought a Watch Last Year
Jiraiya was silent.
With half a pig's head, he fell into thought.
Indeed.
Little Haruko was right.
The current situation in Konoha... indeed, it was not optimistic.
Minato and his wife sacrificed, Orochimaru defected, Konoha, which seemed still prosperous, was actually suffering from a lack of successors, and had already stepped into old age...
"If Kakashi heard Little Haruko's so thoughtful words."
"He'd probably wake up laughing in his dreams..."
Jiraiya laughed and said.
Logically speaking, Konoha now lacks manpower.
It was exactly the time when he was needed.
But he still had many things to do...
Catching Orochimaru back, finding the child of prophecy and nurturing them carefully.
Neither thing was easy, but they were all very important.
But fortunately.
He now seemed to be very close to completing these two things.
Glancing at the girl in front of him.
Jiraiya had already begun to consider how to start the conversation...
Maybe.
The child of prophecy was sitting in front of him?
"If there's nothing else, then I'll go back and pack up first."
Glancing at Jiraiya, Qingchuan said.
"Then about the record of this mission... if you don't go back to Konoha, then I'll have to trouble Jiraiya-sama."
"After all, I don't know what will happen later."
Qingchuan said, bowing generously, preparing to leave.
Compared to how to fool Jiraiya into staying in Konoha.
He still felt that it would be more important to go back and cultivate steadily.
After all.
In the end, no matter what the ending was, it would depend on his strength.
He was already far ahead of Itachi now.
But the period of Itachi's strength explosion was also about to come.
In the uncertain days of the future, in the event that this kind of true fragrance mission would appear again.
Guarding Shisui, stopping Itachi from evolving into a clan-destroying Itachi, was much more reliable than fooling a prodigal son to turn back...
Qingchuan thought, and silently pulled open the door, preparing to pack up and return to Konoha quickly.
However.
Before he could step out his front foot.
Jiraiya's muffled voice suddenly sounded.
"Little Haruko... you're so anxious to go back to Konoha, it shouldn't be just to help Kakashi, right?"
Because of half a pig's head, Jiraiya's voice still sounded muffled.
But Qingchuan's heart paused because of this question.
Jiraiya this guy... did he discover something?
Qingchuan's brows gradually furrowed, and his heart also followed with inexplicable tension.
For Jiraiya, this greasy uncle who looked 100% like a funny person.
Qingchuan had never dared to underestimate him even a bit...
This one was able to almost counter-kill Pain without any information support!
But even so, it was only the tip of the iceberg of this ninja's strength.
For this one's observation, Qingchuan was always on high alert!
Even washing up and peeing, he dared to solve it at the speed of light after repeated confirmation!
At this moment.
Qingchuan's mind began a series of wild thoughts.
What did this guy... discover?
"Looking at you like this, I'm even more sure... Little Haruko!"
With a loud laugh, Jiraiya gradually narrowed his eyes.
That gaze was suddenly extremely sharp!
If Jiraiya wasn't still wearing a pig's head...
It was estimated that the deterrent power would have to be doubled several times!
Qingchuan's heart skipped a beat again.
"You're so anxious to go back... should be for that Uchiha boy who was following behind Kakashi that day... right?"
Flicking his messy hair, Jiraiya said with great confidence.
"That boy is the son of the Uchiha clan chief, right?"
"I heard that Little Haruko graduated from the Ninja Academy with that one... it seems that the relationship isn't just ordinary good?"
The more Jiraiya said, the more confident he became.
The more Qingchuan listened, the more confused he became.
And when he turned his head and saw Jiraiya's extremely confident pig's head face.
Qingchuan had also gradually confirmed one thing in his heart.
Damn it.
Orochimaru's poison had indeed corroded the brain of this ninja.
It was very magical...
How did this guy observe... so carefully?
He went back to Konoha, and it was really for Itachi!
But in this guy's mouth, how did it change the taste...
Qingchuan's face became more and more strange.
Jiraiya's eyes became more and more clear...
"Really."
"Today's children are much more precocious than our generation..."
Jiraiya sighed.
But soon, his gaze became serious again.
"But ah... Little Haruko, if you want to go back and help, relying on the current you, it's estimated that you won't be able to do much."
Jiraiya finally entered the topic.
"About the Uchiha, although I don't go back to Konoha much, I also know some things..."
"As the most glorious family in the past, but now they are placed in an inconspicuous position, whoever it is, they will be dissatisfied in their hearts."
"Wanting to change is even more normal."
Looking at the little girl who was silent, and even a little dazed.
Jiraiya's tone became more and more serious.
"However, it is obviously impossible to change this situation with just the two of you. Even if you add me, even if you add that Orochimaru guy, it is very difficult to change all of this."
"Because what needs to be changed is not only the village, but also the Uchiha... It is easy to solve an enemy, but it is very difficult to eliminate the prejudice and hostility in people's hearts."
"Do you understand... Little Haruko?"
With Jiraiya's many years of experience in dealing with women.
Directly saying to the girl in front of him, "You are the child of prophecy, follow this sage," the best result would be a glare...
And if he said the wrong thing.
It was not impossible to be chased and chopped again...
So.
Jiraiya decided to teach patiently and slowly guide the girl to accept his ninja way.
The current situation of the Uchiha and Konoha was too obvious.
But hasn't the entire ninja world always been the same?
Hating each other, 1.4 being wary of each other.
Wanting to change would not be a simple process.
And Jiraiya had also prepared for a tough battle...
Never give up!
However.
From the expression on the girl's face that was gradually falling into thought...
It seemed that this enlightenment effect was not bad?
Jiraiya became more and more confident in his heart...
Sure enough, this age of little girls, this sage could still easily handle...?
Jiraiya, who was immersed in self-pleasure, suddenly noticed the girl's mouth shape.
He couldn't hear it clearly, probably because she was shy and didn't dare to say it.
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows, preparing to ask...
"Little Haruko, what did you say?"
Qingchuan was stunned.
"I said..."
"I bought a watch last year."
"Goodbye!".
