Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 71: Toad Sage Jiraiya

Uchiha Douhuan didn't expect that his first official meeting with Jiraiya would be like this.

After being arrested, Jiraiya was quite cooperative. With his hands handcuffed, he sat on the chair in the interrogation room with his neck shrunk and an awkward smile on his face. His posture was exactly the same as those habitual thieves in the village. No wonder the patrol team did not recognize him. After all, who knew that one of the legendary Three Ninjas, Gama Sage Jiraiya, was like this?

Uchiha Douhuan came to the interrogation room where Jiraiya was held in solitary confinement, waved his hand to signal the guards around to withdraw, and walked in himself.

Jiraiya heard the sound of someone coming in and raised his head.

"Lord Jiraiya, you are making it very difficult for our security department." Uchiha Douhuan stepped forward and untied Jiraiya's handcuffs. Anyway, if the other party really wanted to escape, it would make no difference whether he had the handcuffs or not.

"Hehe," Jiraiya laughed awkwardly twice, looked at Uchiha Douhuan, and asked curiously: "Um, who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Douhuan. I am the patriarch of this generation of the Uchiha clan. I also just took over as the captain of the village guard team two days ago." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"You are Uchiha Dohuan? I've heard of you before, but we were not on the same battlefield during the Third War. Nice to meet you." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that my first meeting with Lord Jiraiya would be like this." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, what a surprise, what a surprise." Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed.

"Come with me. As Lord Jiraiya, you can't just be locked up here." Uchiha Douhuan said, stood up and walked towards the door, while signaling Jiraiya to follow him.

Jiraiya quickly stood up and followed.

"Why don't you use the transformation technique to conceal your identity a little?" Uchiha Douhuan turned around and reminded before opening the door.

"That's true." Jiraiya nodded awkwardly, then formed seals with his hands and instantly completed the transformation.

Uchiha Douhuan took Jiraiya, who had concealed his form with a transformation technique, out of the back door of the Security Department building and headed straight for the new prison by the Nanga River. After entering, Uchiha Douhuan took Jiraiya to a fully furnished room and said, "Please wait here, Jiraiya-sama. I'll come with Kakashi after I finish my meeting."

"No problem, no problem." Jiraiya said with a smile. After being taken out of the Security Department by Uchiha Dohuan, he thought the matter was over and they asked him to come here just to entertain him.

"Except for not allowing him to leave here, try your best to satisfy any requests of the people inside." Before leaving, Uchiha Douhuan also instructed the tribesmen in charge of guarding this place.

After settling Jiraiya, Uchiha Douhuan went back to the meeting.

After the meeting formally determined the joint investigation team's course of action, Uchiha Dohuan ordered his subordinates to go to the village to pack a banquet and two bottles of good wine, and then took Kakashi to Jiraiya.

During the few hours of the meeting, Jiraiya stayed quietly in the house without doing anything strange. When he felt bored, he simply lay down on the bed in the room. After Uchiha Dohuan and Kakashi entered the room, Jiraiya jumped up from the bed where he had been lying.

"Clan leader Douhuan, your place is quite nice. Is this where the security department entertains guests?" Jiraiya's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. After greeting them, he said with a grin. "To some extent, yes," Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile, then moved the ottoman table over and placed the dishes on it one by one.

Seeing this table of exquisite dishes and two bottles of fine wine, Jiraiya's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands and said, "How can I not be so polite, Clan Leader Dou Huan, I am sorry for the expense."

"No, it's my honor to drink with Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, one of the legendary Three Ninjas," Uchiha Douhuan said. "I've heard that Jiraiya-sama is a veteran in the entertainment industry. I should have gone to Kabukicho and hired some geishas to entertain you, but the Security Department is the law enforcement agency of the village after all, and doing so would have a negative impact. I hope Jiraiya-sama will forgive me."

"That's fine, that's fine," Jiraiya waved his hand nonchalantly, "Next time I'll treat you to a nice meal at Kabukicho, the best place in the village."

After the three of them sat down, each of them drank a glass of wine and then started chatting.

"Lord Jiraiya, why did you suddenly come back to the village? Is your new work going to be released?" Kakashi asked knowingly.

"As for the new work, I'm already working on it, but it'll take some time." Jiraiya smiled awkwardly when he encountered a reader urging him to update. "As for why I came back, I don't know what's wrong with the old man. He almost sent me eight letters a day urging me to return to the village, so I just came back to take a look."

"However, after coming back, it's still pretty good to be able to meet a young talent like you, Chief Douhuan, and at the same time see you cheer up, Kakashi." Jiraiya said slightly tipsy after drinking a glass of wine.

"Compared to Lord Jiraiya, a village hero who has been famous for a long time, I am not a young talent." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile after filling Jiraiya's glass with wine.

"What you said is true, Chief Douhuan. You are the Cang Lei Douhuan who is feared by the Hidden Mist Village. In the future, you will definitely be much stronger than an old man like me." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"By the way, Kakashi, I heard that you took Naruto over to take care of him, right?" After drinking with the two of them for a while, Jiraiya suddenly looked at Kakashi and asked.

Kakashi nodded, "Yes, I have retired from the Anbu, so I can take care of the child."

Jiraiya heard this, sighed and said: "That's good, Naruto has you to take care of him, I feel relieved."

At this time, Uchiha Douhuan suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of which, Master Jiraiya has been away from the village for all these years. Why exactly is that? It can't really be like the rumors say, that it's for a vague prophecy."

"Dou Huan, this isn't some vague prophecy." Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression changed, and he said seriously, "The Great Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain is a wise man of very ancient origin. He once told me that the Ninja World will give birth to a child of destiny who will determine its future. He will decide whether the future of the Ninja World will be peaceful or destroyed. What I can do is guide him onto the right path."

"So there's such a hidden secret?" Uchiha Douhuan said with a half-smile, "So Lord Jiraiya has such an important mission. I said the wrong thing. I'll drink a glass as punishment."

Uchiha Douhuan filled a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"So, Lord Jiraiya, have you found the child of prophecy?" Kakashi asked.
