After being called out by Shiraishi, Jiraiya was not embarrassed. He just smiled and started to change the topic:

"It's really amazing. This jutsu of mine, not to mention the perception ninjutsu, is difficult for even the Byakugan to see through. Boy Shiraishi, your perception ninjutsu is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that you can see through the more essential existence of the soul?"

Jiraiya seemed to be confirming some information.

Jiraiya is very confident in the hidden secrets of Mt. Myoboku. He has used this technique to sneak into many areas that can be called the best places in the ninja world and collected a lot of important information.

However, this was the first time that someone had noticed his traces so directly.

However, Jiraiya did not feel discouraged, and he had no intention of hiding it forever.

It was also his heart's wish to have such a face-to-face conversation again.

Regarding Jiraiya's temptation, Shiraishi chose to ignore it and said in a light tone: "If you want to just say hello, it's not necessary. Just explain your purpose of coming, Jiraiya-sama. I still have important things to do next.

, for the sake of Teacher Tsunade, I will give you one minute at most."

"After all, we were friends in the same village in the past. I only gave you one minute. Isn't it a bit too heartless?"

Jiraiya said half-jokingly.

However, his joke only resulted in a cold reaction from Shiraishi.

Jiraiya sighed, playing the emotional card was indeed a useless strategy. Although this was expected, Jiraiya still felt disappointed.

Then, he put away his disappointed mood, looked at Shiraishi and the others with serious eyes, and tentatively said: "Boy Shiraishi, is it really impossible to have peace talks between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Fire? You know,

Your actions may very well trigger the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War."

This sentence is a serious warning to Shiraishi not to go to the Land of Rain for talks.

"Fifteen seconds have passed. Lord Jiraiya, you still have forty-five seconds."

Shiraishi looked at Jiraiya calmly, still unmoved by what Jiraiya said.

"Can't you really think about it seriously? If something unexpected happens during the meeting, war will break out in the Ninja world, and the Kingdom of Demons will also be involved. What good will it do to you?"

Jiraiya's face was serious, his fists clenched tightly, and he stared at Shiraishi's expressionless face.

"Now that your identity is no longer that of a traitor, the Demon Country has become a powerful country recognized by the great powers. Every move you make will have a huge impact on the ninja world. I hope you can consider it from the perspective of peace in the ninja world.

If you stop the matter now, it will still be too late."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Shiraishi let out a breath, looked directly at Jiraiya and said:

"Huh... I thought that after what happened last time, you would be more mature, but I didn't consider that you still insist on such a stubborn idea. This was my biggest mistake."

"It has nothing to do with my stubbornness. I just hope that you can put the overall situation first."

Jiraiya looked at Shiraishi seriously.

"Then what is the overall situation that is the most important thing? Is the overall situation of Konoha the most important thing? I now represent the interests of the country and the people of the Ghost Country, the position of Konoha and the Country of Fire. That is not something I should consider. On the contrary, if

If you could convince the Fire Nation’s Daming Mansion from the beginning not to intervene in the Rain Nation’s civil war, things would not turn out like this. Isn’t it a little too late for you to say this now?”

Shiraishi asked rhetorically.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said: "I did try to dissuade the Daimyo and Sarutobi-sensei at first, but I failed."

Shiraishi was slightly speechless, and Ruri and Ayane also looked like they didn't know what to say to Jiraiya.

"In other words, you couldn't stop the chaos caused by your own people, so you came over to stop me, an enemy, and cancel this meeting, right?"

Jiraiya nodded with an embarrassed expression.

Shiraishi stared at Jiraiya's slightly embarrassed face, with many wrinkles appearing on it, and sighed: "Jiraiya-sama, you are not young anymore. There are some words that are not suitable for me, a junior, to teach you.

.Since the top leaders of a country have decided on a policy that is beneficial to the country, then as a member of the country, they should give full support instead of holding the country back and creating opposition. What you are doing

, not only will I, the enemy, look down upon you, but even the Fire Nation daimyo will be dissatisfied with you. Your behavior will even make the Fire Nation daimyo question your loyalty to Konoha and the Fire Nation.

At that time, it means that both sides are not satisfied."

Jiraiya's face was slightly startled, and there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but he soon became firm again.

Naturally, he has considered this matter, but he still can't rest assured and implements the philosophy that peace is the most important thing for himself and the ninja world.

Because this is his destiny!

Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Shiraishi knew that what he just said was basically in vain.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste time here with Jiraiya anymore.

He has said everything he could say.

Since Jiraiya didn't approve and was unwilling to wake up from his own world, there was no need for Shiraishi to continue talking to him.

"Wait! I still have something to say!"

Seeing Shiraishi and the others continuing to move forward, Jiraiya shouted loudly, trying to make the three of them stop.

"That's enough. Your remarks can't move me, and I don't want to listen to your so-called peaceful remarks. You can think that I am not a pacifist. I am not a pacifist. I am prophesied by the Will of Fire and Miaomu Mountain.

Destiny is not interested at all. In short, don't come to me to promote your ideas. I don't want to cause trouble this time, so just look for your son of prophecy."

Whether it was pity or ridicule, Bai Shi used the teleportation technique to disappear from the place.

Liuli and Ayane looked at each other, followed Shiraishi's footsteps, and had no desire to stay and talk to Jiraiya.

"Damn it! It still failed..."

Jiraiya was unwilling to look at the direction in which the three of them were leaving, hesitated for a moment, but did not step forward to stop them.

Shiraishi alone is not something he can handle, and with the other two whose strength may still be higher than Shiraishi's, even summoning the two immortals from Miaomu Mountain will not change the situation of the battle.

His intuition told him that if he took action here, he would definitely be killed by Baishi and the others!

Therefore, Jiraiya could only watch the three people leave, unable to change this fact.

In the snowy wilderness, Shiraishi and the others were far away from Jiraiya's location. Their location was already very close to the Land of Rain.

"As a Sannin, what I just said was really inappropriate and over the top. Seeing the ninja I once admired turn into such a virtuous man, I don't know what to say for a moment."

Ayane said regretfully.

Once upon a time, when she was still a Konoha ninja, she also respected the name of Sannin.

The Sannin are not only disciples of Konoha Hokage, but also have the inheritance of the three holy places in the ninja world. They shined brilliantly in the second ninja war and can be said to be the cornerstone of Konoha.

column.

There was no need to comment on Orochimaru who had already defected, but the Jiraiya he saw today made Ayane a little disappointed.

Ayane could not connect the present Jiraiya with the one of the Sannin in the past.

"Indeed, such a naive fool can be said to be the only one in the ninja world. After all, he was one of the biggest contributors to Konoha's victory in the Second Ninja War. I didn't expect that he would become a Konoha ninja.

Standing, it’s really naive to say something like this.”

Liuli nodded in approval.

Intervening in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Demons spent a lot of manpower and material resources for this purpose, and finally promoted this meeting. How could it be given up just because of Jiraiya's few words?

Liu Li didn't know how to evaluate Jiraiya. Should he say he was naive, or should he say he was careless? Or both.

However, Jiraiya's matter has nothing to do with Liuli.

She immediately put the matter of Jiraiya behind and felt that there was no need to waste energy on such a person.

As the three of them kept driving at high speed, the snow scene quickly changed to a rain scene, and the three of them had arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Rain.

Shiraishi turned to look at Ayane, who nodded in understanding.

"Let's separate here, leave it to me over there."

After saying that, Ayane's figure flashed, left the team, and disappeared from Shiraishi's eyes.

"Is there no problem for her to go alone? The opponent is one of the Five Kages, as well as the accompanying escorts and ANBU jounin. Her moves are not suitable for dealing with multiple people."

Liuli looked at the direction Ayane was leaving, turned her head slightly and asked.

"It doesn't matter. The Earth General and the Water Dragon God also went with them. Now all the unexpected factors have been eliminated. Next, we can have a good meeting here. In short, let's go and meet the Raikage and the others first. They are there

Bian should be impatient."

"good."

Now that Baishi has considered everything, Liuli no longer objects.

The sound of rain continued.

Under the verandah of the roadside hotel, there is a small rest area that can only accommodate five or six people, for travelers passing by to rest.

The Fourth Raikage folded his arms and sat on a bench under the verandah. He was concentrating with his eyes closed. The clothes open on his chest were very cool, but he was not affected by the cold air outside at all.

To his left, stood a middle-aged man with a black eyepatch on his left eye.

Wearing Kumogakure's ninja uniform, with a calm temperament, he stood patiently on the porch, waiting for something with the Fourth Raikage.

This middle-aged man's name is Dodai. He was once a courtier of Kumogakure's third generation Raikage. He has a very rare level of melting blood. Even among Kumogakure today, he is a top-notch Jonin-level ninja.

On the right of the Fourth Raikage are the younger jonins of Kumogakure, Nozomi and Darui.
