Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 520 Jiraiya

In the only tavern in the village where they stopped on the road, Lu Chen opened the door and saw a strange man.

Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, was sitting here drinking. He had, of course, participated in the Third Shinobi World War, but he hadn't been there for the entire war. Of the Three Ninjas, only Tsunade was unable to participate due to illness.

The reason he was here was because the Great Toad Sage had recently given him a new prophecy: a man with a different soul inside him would change the world. However, he couldn't see clearly whether the world would be destroyed or brought to peace because of him. So Jiraiya had to confirm it himself.

This prophecy made Jiraiya, who had been searching for his destined child, confused. Could the prophecy made before be modified?

Of course, Jiraiya would not openly question the words of the Great Toad Sage. The change in the prophecy meant that there might be a problem with the original child of prophecy.

So when faced with the new prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya immediately made his own plan. He wanted to go to the Hidden Rain Village first to see what the child of prophecy he believed in was doing now.

In addition, he also has the responsibility to help his teacher to explore why Danzo died in the Hidden Rain Village. The roots deep in Konoha cannot die inexplicably in other hidden villages.

Hiruzen must know who killed Danzo and why, because during the battle between Lu Chen and Hanzo, Hanzo took the initiative to release all his poison, and all of Danzo's men were poisoned to death. So Konoha only knew that Danzo died in the Hidden Rain Village.

This left Hiruzen somewhat bewildered. The war was over. No ninja village would initiate another war. And the only person there who could kill Danzo was Hanzo. What exactly was the Hidden Rain Village planning to do?
For many reasons, Jiraiya embarked on his journey again.

After watching Jiraiya hugging the barmaid, Lu Chen casually complained to V: "Do you think you found this place properly?"

V had seen it all before, and his eyes revealed a hint of contempt for Lu Chen. It looked like he was taking his country bumpkin friend shopping.

So he said with disdain: "This is the only tavern in this place. If you dislike it, go out and play with those kids playing with ants by the tree."

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be seated in a secluded private room?"

"That's because you're not very experienced. This situation is actually very normal."

After saying that, V sat down at an empty table next to Jiraiya and greeted Jiraiya. He was a very cheerful person.

"Brother, are you drinking so early?"

Jiraiya was also delighted by V's greeting and invited the two to sit over. The heroic Jiraiya was also a very outgoing person. Someone who could travel and explore the world couldn't be an introvert. He could sense that the two people before him had no ill will towards him.

Jiraiya then warmly invited the two to sit down and said, "I didn't expect to see wandering samurai here. Come sit here and have a drink, my two young men."

Lu Chen thought it was a good thing to get to know Jiraiya, but he didn't expect that this guy V was actually useful.

So he naturally sat down next to Jiraiya and said, "You're welcome then."

This action made Jiraiya realize that this man knew him, while the samurai next to him did not. This was quite normal. It was normal for samurai from the Iron Country to be unfamiliar with the ninja world. He was a famous Sannin, and people often recognized him during his travels, so Jiraiya had long been accustomed to it.

The maid sitting in Jiraiya's arms stood up and poured a glass of wine for each of them. V asked the man who looked very unusual: "You don't look like an ordinary person? You came out when the war was still going on. I can see that you must be a good fighter."

Jiraiya picked up his glass and drank it before answering V's question: "The war is over. I'm a writer wandering the world. So now I'm traveling and collecting folk songs."

He couldn't tell the person he met for the first time that he was pursuing his destiny, but fortunately he was also a best-selling author.

Lu Chen interrupted at this time: "The Toad Sage of the Three Ninjas of Konoha is more than just a writer."

Jiraiya laughed heartily and said, "It seems your companions know me. What are you going to do, Samurai? It's rare for a Samurai to leave the Land of Iron."

"I'm going to Konoha with my companion. He told me that I should encounter some interesting things there."

Jiraiya started to speak kindly: "Konoha? If you go there now, there might be a festival going on. After the war, there must be some activities to cheer everyone up. Now is a good time for you to go."

Lu Chen wanted to know about the information about the Three Ninjas: "It sounds very interesting. Why did you leave before such a festival? You have to finish the collection of materials before you can enjoy it."

Jiraiya grabbed the maid who was pouring wine for Lu Chen and V and said with a smile: "Hahaha, happiness is not something a man should pursue. That's why I won't participate in such activities."

Throughout his life he concealed his intentions behind flamboyant and unorthodox behavior.

Looking at his appearance, Lu Chen began to doubt what he said. He looked like someone who had been driven out of Konoha. Did he escape from Konoha because he offended Tsunade?

However, Lu Chen really didn't know what the Sannin were doing during the Third Ninja World War. Would it be inappropriate to ask Jiraiya directly about Orochimaru's news? Should he just pretend to be a fan of Orochimaru?

V also said with deep emotion: "Yes, that's what a man should be like. Back then, I was also a legend in Night City..."

It seems that V is easily moved by what others say.

The two began to drink and brag to each other.

Lu Chen was confused about where V could make friends. Did V have a hidden effect that increased his charm?

As the two boasted, Lu Chen wondered if he could learn senjutsu from Jiraiya. However, considering he didn't even have chakra yet, he didn't rush to ask. He probably wouldn't teach senjutsu to others easily. So for now, just get to know him. They'd definitely meet again.

"We just came from the Hidden Rain Village, where we helped three kids who called themselves the Akatsuki organization to kill their enemies. An enemy who could transform into a hollow and a strange creature that was completely black."

Akatsuki, as soon as the name came out, Lai Ye immediately became cautious.

Of course, V didn't mention that Lu Chen killed Danzo, after all, he knew that Danzo was a member of Konoha. So he only talked about Obito and Black Zetsu.
