After Jiraiya left Konoha Village, he first sent the first version of the novel manuscript to a publisher.
The "Akatsuki" in Tsunade's words were a group of very powerful people. Therefore, even Jiraiya didn't think so and was afraid of accidents.
For this reason, Jiraiya chose to publish a novel. Even if there was no follow-up, he would not regret it.
Of course, after the novel is submitted, it still needs to be revised, but now Jiraiya has no time to do this. He wants to find the location of "Akatsuki".
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Tsunade was familiar with "Akatsuki", but she didn't provide much relevant information. It seemed that the only channel for her to obtain "Akatsuki" was the rebel nin of Kirigakure Village named Yusuke Terauchi.
This brings up a question. Putting aside the identity of the traitor, is the information provided by this person named "Terauchi Yusuke" really reliable?
As an old partner, Jiraiya believed in Tsunade's vision of people. After all, if his gambling luck was bad and his vision was bad, he would not be able to survive in the ninja world. Therefore, he did not doubt that Yusuke Terauchi would lie, but that "
Is "Xiao" really that powerful?
Looking at the same thing from different heights will lead to different conclusions.
This is not to say that Jiraiya despises "Akatsuki". On the contrary, as a person who participated in the Second Ninja War and is still "struggled" on the front line of the battle until now, no one can compare to Jiraiya.
He understands the importance of accurate intelligence better.
However, Jiraiya has his own news network.
Although it would be a little troublesome to find out the information about "Akatsuki", in his opinion, this information was more real.
For "Xiao" who wants to make war fortune and thrive in this "market", he must have a certain reputation.
For a "mercenary organization", reputation means strength and credibility. Otherwise, others would rather hire ninjas from Taki Ninja Village or Kusanagi Ninja Village, or some other organizations, than hire "Akatsuki".
In fact, "Akatsuki" has no intention of hiding its traces.
On the one hand, "Akatsuki" is rapidly devouring the war "market". At least in the eyes of many small countries, "Akatsuki" has shown certain superiority in terms of cost performance; on the other hand, there are also other "ninja mercenary organizations" who view "Akatsuki"
"I was unhappy and wanted to challenge the "Akatsuki". As a result, these ninja organizations successfully completed the transition from "prosperity" to "destruction".
There is no news about who all the members of "Akatsuki" are.
According to his source, it is not that the "Akatsuki" members are pretending to be mysterious, but that almost all the people who have seen the "Akatsuki" members are dead, and some "Akatsuki" members who know their names are usually corpses - the source said
, the personnel of "Akatsuki" are changing all the time, because "Akatsuki" is not a fairy and will also die.
After learning this information, Jiraiya also felt a headache.
This shows that "Akatsuki" is more difficult than imagined.
The only good thing is that the location of the "Akatsuki" leader has been revealed.
"In Yuyin Village. This is what someone who has worked with Akatsuki told me."
Yuyin Village...
He had been to Amegakure Village during the Second Ninja War.
After the war, Amegakure Village was in a mess. He also accepted three apprentices during that war. Therefore, his relationship with Amegakure Village was deeper than Orochimaru and Tsunade.
I just don’t know what happened to these three people...
Looking specifically at Yuyin Village, the news he received was that after the civil war broke out, the village was divided into two factions, one of which was the "Akatsuki".
Now, it is estimated that "Akatsuki" has achieved the final victory.
At the same time, this village is extremely closed. Not to mention entering and exiting at will, even if Konoha Village sends an invitation to the "Chūnin Examination", it is quite difficult to go through the relevant procedures.
After Jiraiya thought carefully, he decided to sneak into the Hidden Rain Village. After all, even if he wanted to enter from the front, the procedures alone were very difficult.
Yuyin Village is a village that rains all year round. Rainwater flows into the internal lake through sewer pipes. This also makes "Ame Hidden Village" very different from other ninja villages - there are many pipes and most of them are steel buildings.
.
A toad jumped out of the water. When he checked that there was no one around, he opened his mouth. Jiraiya came out of the mouth and quickly looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sneaking in was easier than imagined. At least no one noticed that he used the "Toad Hidden Technique" to enter Yuyin Village.
Next, he needs to find a suitable place to inquire about information. After all, his primary purpose is to collect intelligence about "Akatsuki" and then designate relevant plans based on the intelligence.
To fight against such a large organization, he alone is still not powerful enough, even if he is one of the "Three Ninjas".
As for where it is easiest to get information, there are usually two places - bars or bathing centers.
But he only has one person, so overall, the cost of the bar is the lowest.
Just when Jiraiya was making up his mind, two ninjas walked past the central street, both wearing black robes embroidered with red clouds.
Jiraiya, who was hiding in the alley, did not find out the specific information about the "Akatsuki" members, but found out that they were wearing red clouds and black robes, and then glanced at them subconsciously, and instantly felt a chill on his back.
One of them was about fifty years old and had a bandage wrapped around his right eye. At the same time, his right arm was also wrapped in a bandage. He was Danzo who defected from Konoha Village the year before last.
The person traveling with him was younger, with long black hair, a thin figure, and eyes full of scourge. While talking to Danzo, he showed sinister smiles from time to time.
Orochimaru!?
After recognizing Danzo and Orochimaru, Jiraiya immediately adjusted his understanding of "Akatsuki".
No matter how strong the others are, these two people alone can prove that "Akatsuki"'s reputation in the "Ninja Legion" is not accidental.
At the same time, a guess popped up in his mind - Orochimaru and Danzo both belonged to the "Akatsuki". So, was the turmoil in the Hokage the year before last, including the move to "control the Third Hokage", all under the instructions of the "Akatsuki"?
If this is the case, then he really needs to find out the details of "Akatsuki".
Jiraiya frowned and his mood became heavy.
Due to the existence of Orochimaru and Danzo, it shows from the side that "Akatsuki" is much stronger than he guessed.
Just as Jiraiya readjusted the battle plan, Pain frowned on the tower in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Xiaonan saw something strange about Payne.
"My rain was blocked by someone, it's a very strong chakra." Payne said.
"Intruder?"
"Not sure yet."
"Do you need me to find him?" Xiaonan asked.
"No need for now. Some of our new team members have never been in contact with them. When all the people are here, we will determine whether there are other intruders."
"But in this case, the rain will last longer."
"It doesn't matter. Since there are new people joining, we must check their strength. If someone really enters, he will definitely not be able to escape!" Payne said coldly.
