Jiraiya discovered that this place was a little different from the legend. It was not in decline, but rather prosperous, although it could not be compared with the big cities in the Land of Fire.
The population is at least 300,000, and people have relaxed looks on their faces, indicating that their lives are pretty good.
The products in each market are not in limited supply. Products from the five major countries can be seen here, as well as a large amount of rice marked with the location being the country of rice.
This shows that commercial transportation is quite developed, and this requires a strong force to hold down the caravans, because this is far inland from the sea.
Or, it's a powerful space ninjutsu.
Paper angels hang at the entrances of many shops. They are said to be angels that can bring good luck. This should be related to the new ruler.
The reason why I think so is because Sanshouyu Hanzo doesn't seem to be a person who can understand people's livelihood.
Sure enough, young people don't seem to know Sansho Hanzo, while middle-aged people are silent about the name Sansho Hanzo. It seems that if they mention it, they will become the object of suspicion, and they are suspected of being Sansho Hanzo's accomplice...
Jiraiya used a toad to disguise himself as a hotel, and waited for two low-level ninjas to fall into a trap. After entering the toad's belly, he captured two of them.
Regarding Jiraiya's tickling torture, the two ninjas laughed until tears and runny noses ran down their faces, but they still refused to say anything.
Jiraiya used the frog transformation technique, and after turning one of them into a frog, the other one immediately became honest.
The person who now rules the Kingdom of Rain is called Pain. No one knows what he looks like. They only know that he is in the tower in the west of the City of Rain.
In the Kingdom of Rain, Payne is equivalent to a god. He has always been guarding the Kingdom of Rain. However, sacrificial activities, speeches, and instructions are all carried out by agents, that is, Lord Angels.
No one knows about Pain's strength, but Pain will become a legend because he single-handedly destroyed Amegakure and killed Sansho Hanzo.
Jiraiya was a little stunned, Sansho Hanzo. When he, Orochimaru, and Senju Tsunade teamed up, they couldn't defeat Sansho Hanzo. To be precise, Sansho Hanzo couldn't kill them, so he agreed with them.
Such a person was actually killed, and the entire Yugakure army was wiped out, without even a single news reaching the outside world.
Who is it that has such strength?
"By the way, how long has it been? There is peace in the Kingdom of Rain."
"It's been more than ten years."
"Ten, how many years?"
Sansho Hanzo has actually been dead for more than ten years? So, later on, it was pretended to the outside world that Sansho Hanzo was still alive and ruling everything.
No, how did he know such a secret, the secret in Hanzo's heart?
Also, many people must have come to investigate the situation over the years. Why didn't they report it?
I remember, the information from Konoha said that people who came were stopped as soon as they entered the range.
So, why can I enter the city?
Jiraiya had a bad premonition in his heart, so he went out and spit out the seal scroll, a slender toad wrapped in the scroll.
"Jiraiya, what are you planning to do by calling me out?"
"No, it's for other reasons, but you have to leave for a while first."
"What's going on? You have to let me leave?"
"I'm going to fight a stronger guy."
"Are you so powerful that you have to let me escape first?"
"Just in case, come on, let me prepare the seal-breaking technique first, so that you can break the seal on Naruto."
The sealing scroll toad unfolded the scroll, "It feels like you are explaining your funeral arrangements."
Jiraiya also applied the scroll sealing technique, "Okay, this will completely unlock the seal and release the complete Nine Tails."
"How long do you plan on taking?"
"It shouldn't take too long, but if anything happens to me, just move into Naruto's body."
"What are you talking about? On my belly, not only is the sealing technique of the Fourth Hokage, but also the key to the seal you left on Naruto. Now the seal of the Fourth Hokage is weakening year by year. If I go to Naruto
In the human body, if the seal is broken..."
Jiraiya interrupted: "But this key is what Minato left behind, and it will be given to Naruto one day."
The sealing scroll toad said: "That's too early. That guy Naruto can't even fully control the chakra of the nine tails. Every time Naruto transforms into a tailed beast, his own chakra will be destroyed by the chakra of the nine tails."
Forced back, he eventually entered a state of unconscious rage. If the seal was opened, Naruto's own consciousness might never come back. This is not what the Yondaime wants to see."
Jiraiya said: "Since Minato will keep this key, it means that one day, he will let Naruto complete that technique. This is his legacy."
The sealing scroll toad asked: "Are you serious? Can it really make the Nine-Tails a complete body?"
Jiraiya said: "Kyuubi does not have a body. The sealing of corpses does not target the body, but the spiritual consciousness. What was sealed back then was the spiritual power of the Kyuubi. Over the years, the Kyuubi has followed Naruto in Naruto's body.
People grow up together, and the current Kyuubi has too many of Naruto's imprints."
The sealing scroll toad asked: "By the way, why did the Yondaime Hokage deliberately seal the Nine-Tails in his own son? Sacrificing his own child for power? This is not like the Yondaime style."
"Just because you can't sacrifice other people's children, you can only sacrifice your own." Jiraiya said, "And it was also forced by the situation at the time, right? I am Minato's teacher, and I know that guy will not do anything meaningless.
He should have mastered some important information. If he entrusted the power of Nine Tails to his child for that person..."
The sealing scroll toad asked: "Are you worrying too much? Who can be the opponent of the Yondaime? The strength of the Yondaime is not enough, so we have to rely on the power of the Nine-Tails?"
"Is that really the case?" Jiraiya said, "The Nine-Tails that attacked Konoha at that time was considered to be a natural disaster that occurred naturally due to the birth of the human pillar. However, recently I have begun to doubt the authenticity of this incident."
The sealing scroll toad asked: "What do you suspect?"
Jiraiya said: "I suspect that it was summoned by humans using psychic techniques."
"Idiot, the Kyuubi has been chasing people's negative emotions since ancient times. When the negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, the Kyuubi will cause natural disasters there." The sealing scroll toad said, "The guy who can summon the Kyuubi,
It doesn’t exist in this world at all.”
Jiraiya said: "No, there is someone who can do it."
The sealing scroll toad asked, "You can't say Uchiha Madara, can you?"
"Yes, he is the founder of the Uchiha clan."
"What do you think? Uchiha Madara was a person from the early days of Konoha. It would have been impossible to be alive fifteen or sixteen years ago."
"Indeed, everyone knows that Uchiha Madara was defeated by the First Hokage in the Valley of the End."
"Isn't that just because you are worrying unfoundedly?"
"Maybe, but now there is another Sharingan, which is powerful enough to separate the Three-Tails from the Human Power Pillar."
The sealing scroll toad said uncertainly: "There should be other methods."
"Anyway, I have an ominous premonition and I feel uneasy." Jiraiya said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I will take you back to Konoha first."
"Take care and be careful..."
Before the sealing scroll toad could finish speaking, Jiraiya sent him away using a psychic technique...
West of the city.
Jiraiya realized that the other party had known about his arrival for a long time, and had deliberately let him enter the Rain City, allowing him to investigate intelligence on the streets, and allowing him to capture low-level ninjas to obtain information.
I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is, but one of the purposes is very clear, which is to keep him, so I let him go.
And all of this, the reason why the other party knows his every move is probably because the rain falling from the sky contains the rain of the other party's perception.
So Jiraiya has been exposed, so Jiraiya no longer has any scruples and just lets go. The first thing he does is to remove the rain.
In addition to being able to detect rain, Jiraiya is good at using fire. Fighting in the rain is not good for fire.
On the high tower, Xiao Nan looked at the sky and said, "The rain has stopped."
"Don't hesitate, Jiraiya-sensei will never be on our side."
