It was about Jiraiya again...
It seemed because he went to the academy for classes in the morning, he was caught by people from the Tsuchigumo Clan who were sending their children, they demanded he return the money he scammed at the bar last time, and then...
Jiraiya was someone who cared about face back then!
He quickly turned his head and was just about to slip away when he was surrounded by a group of Tsuchigumo parents...
Looking at the parents gathering from all directions, Jiraiya now dared not reveal that he was a teacher at the academy, as this would tarnish the academy's reputation...
He would lose his job!
You must know...
The Toad Sage still relied on this job to support himself!
Although Hiruko didn't mind him mooching meals and drinks, he, one of the Konoha Sannin, still had his pride to maintain. Hadn't he seen Orochimaru starting to look at him with sarcastic sneers lately?
Didn't he himself realize...
He was just a prisoner, a prisoner without even a salary!
How dare he mock the Toad Sage??
So...
To show that he was different from that parasite Orochimaru, Jiraiya started working hard, only occasionally going out to 'harvest the autumn wind'.
You must know, among ninja, using one's own strength to get by through mooching was legitimate!
And he always believed...
That he would definitely become a best-selling author, hadn't he seen that his great literary work of the ninja world was in preparation?
So, these weren't scams, but loans...
Once he had money, he would definitely pay them back!
But right now...
"I really will pay it back!" Jiraiya said, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Uchiha Fugaku. When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears!
"I swear on the name of Jiraiya, one of the Konoha Sannin, the Toad Sage of the ninja world!"
Just give me three more months, no, one year...
I will definitely succeed!
However...
Uchiha Fugaku completely ignored Jiraiya, still looking at him calmly, then, lowered his head to record something...
This line...
He had heard it many times already!
"You have been expelled from the Uzushiogakure Affiliated Academy." Uchiha Fugaku said calmly after finishing his notes. "Also, because you are involved in a missing large sum fraud case."
"You have been registered in the Uzushiogakure list of untrustworthy individuals!"
"Until you repay all debts and the amount, during this period, you cannot take public buses, ships, including leaving Uzushiogakure, etc."
Uchiha Fugaku looked quietly at the bewildered Jiraiya before him...
"And a prison sentence of one year and one month. I hope you repay the debt as soon as possible."
"..."
When did this happen?
Why didn't he know anything about it?
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then asked, "When did this happen?"
He hadn't faced any restrictions when taking ships or vehicles recently!
"A law enacted just this year." Uchiha Fugaku said flatly. "Because we couldn't find you, we thought you had left. Your information has now been updated in the registry."
"The laws of Uzushiogakure will become more and more complete. I hope you behave yourself!"
Then...
He picked up the file and stood up...
"Obito, take him to serve his sentence."
"Hey, hey~." Hearing this, Jiraiya immediately panicked, stood up and said, "Can you pretend you didn't see me?"
We're fellow villagers!
Give me some face!
But looking at Uchiha Obito walking over with a mischievous expression, he knew...
It was impossible!
"Wait, don't go!"
"Fugaku, I want to see the Daimyo of Uzushiogakure!"
I admit my mistake, isn't that enough?
"I have money, call Hiruko, call Tsunade, this Toad Sage..."
"Really has money!"
But...
His chakra had been sealed when he entered the police station, what could he do now?
He could only watch Fugaku's retreating back, and then, be...
Handcuffed by a young man, a student he had taught before...
"Hey, hey, Obito..." Jiraiya said unhappily, "No matter what, I was your teacher, can you let me go?"
"Sorry!" Obito sighed with a regretful expression and said, "Duty calls. You'd better come with me quietly!"
Then, his face showed glee...
"The two big tigers of Uzushiogakure, you and Teacher Tsunade..."
"Maybe you'll run into Teacher Tsunade next time?"
Hearing Obito's words, Jiraiya immediately perked up and asked, "Tsunade was caught too?"
"Not exactly." Obito shook his head and said, "The leader of the Senju clan paid off her debts in advance."
"..."
Then why mention it!
Jiraiya sighed regretfully...
He thought he could be locked up with Tsunade.
My lifelong reputation!
Is it going to be ruined like this?
Jiraiya hung his head, slumped, and sighed...
"Can you let go? Let me walk by myself? And also..."
He looked down at the handcuffs on his wrists...
"Can you take these off too? This Toad Sage absolutely will not run!"
"No!" Obito shook his head and said, "Those are the rules! The law!"
"So, Jiraiya-sensei, just behave."
"Then..." Hearing Obito's words, Jiraiya sighed helplessly and said, "Get this Toad Sage a mask, will you?"
One that can cover his hair...
Otherwise, what if the thousands of young girls in the ninja world see him?
However...
As soon as he finished speaking...
"Click click click!"
A bunch of people holding strange crystals suddenly appeared...
...
"Was he taken away?" Uzumaki Jun looked at the documents in his hand, sighed, and asked, "This can be considered a milestone for Uzushiogakure!"
Tomorrow's news headline will definitely be about Jiraiya, no doubt about it.
But...
I wonder what Konoha will do when they find out?
Probably that old monkey Sarutobi will be furious!
"Everything has been arranged according to your instructions." Uzumaki Hibiki nodded, his expression somewhat peculiar. "It's just..."
Are you sure Namikaze Minato can still become Hokage after this?
"It's fine!" Uzumaki Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "Good and bad are just a moment apart."
If Namikaze Minato couldn't become Hokage just because of this, how could that old monkey Sarutobi have stayed in the Hokage's seat for so long?
So...
The Will of Fire...
Sarutobi Hiruzen was much better at playing that game!
Uzumaki Jun's lips curled up slightly, and he murmured, "It's just that Black Zetsu, always scheming behind the scenes..."
It's time to deal with him!!
This filial son...
He truly never gives up on destroying my Uzushiogakure!
...
"I... Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Black Zetsu rubbed his nose, frowned, and said, "Heatstroke?"
Or maybe a sinus infection?
"Don't know." White Zetsu spread his hands, looked at Black Zetsu, and said helplessly, "Speaking of which, you seem to be sneezing a lot these past few years!"
"Is there something wrong with your body? Do you need me to find a doctor?"
"Stop joking." Black Zetsu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I am my mother's will. How could I get sick?" His tone shifted. "Is Madara really dead?"
"Yes!" White Zetsu nodded, saying seriously, "According to the message sent back by the White Zetsu who sneaked in, he is indeed dead."
"As for Tobi..."
He sighed regretfully...
"Don't know where he ran off to."
"Just as I thought..." Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes and said, "Those with their own will are all useless."
As a White Zetsu...
Tobi was really a 'good child', wasn't he?
But now...
"Keep sending out White Zetsu to find out where the Rinnegan really is." Black Zetsu said sternly to White Zetsu. "Also, ask that Uchiha Fugaku who awakened the Mangekyo last time, ask him again what he has decided?"
We must find a way to deal with that red-haired brat!
Otherwise...
How much longer must he wait to see his mother?
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu suddenly felt his eyes getting moist...
"Mother, Black Zetsu..."
"Misses you!"
Was he... was he... was he having an easy time?
