I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

"Actually, I've been thinking about something."

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to explain some things to Bai Ye.

I feel like the situation is different now than when I first arrived.

She initially only intended to infiltrate the area to gather intelligence, which was simply for the ninja mission.

The longer she stayed here, the more she liked it.

"Go ahead."

Why did you choose me to be your secretary?

Xiao Nan was a little confused, since she had only met Bai Ye once before.

Why does he have such confidence in himself?

A secretary has access to many confidential matters, even if they are not at this time.

"Because I want to."

"."

What a bold reason! But Xiao Nan also had a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Fine, you've been in a bad mood these past few days, so I'll give you a few days off. You should get some rest and go out for a walk."

"Have a holiday?"

Xiao Nan was a little surprised, as she hadn't had a holiday for a long time since she came here.

She has endless documents to process every day, and since everyone has just joined the group, friction is inevitable.

There are many things that the other secretaries actually find difficult to handle.

They each represented the interests of their original ninja village, and since Byakuya couldn't come forward, everyone immediately thought of Konan.

Konan wasn't from any of the ninja villages, and because she often followed Byakuya and was directly promoted by him, others considered her to be Byakuya's protégé.

Many things that are inconvenient for the other five secretaries to handle are resolved by Xiao Nan.

Therefore, Xiao Nan actually had more things to do than the other secretaries.

This surprised and delighted Xiao Nan, who was happy that she would soon be able to access more secrets.

However, this also meant that Xiao Nan basically had no days off all year round. Several times she tried to ask Bai Ye for leave, but Bai Ye rejected her each time. At first, he tried to keep her by offering her more work and other benefits such as meals.

But the more Xiao Nan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"You actually gave me a day off?!"

no? !

What do you mean by "Why would I give you a holiday?"

If I don't give you time off, how are you going to talk to Payne?

Bai Ye was speechless.

I kept saying I'd give her a break, and now that I've actually given her a break, she's starting to question it again.

The reason Xiao Nan wasn't given a break was because it seemed that the results during her stay weren't good enough, and he needed to keep her around for a while longer.

Things are different now. He felt that the influence of this time on Xiao Nan's thinking and her views on this place had changed, so Bai Ye decided to let Xiao Nan leave for a while.

"If you don't want to take a holiday, that's fine too."

"Let's take a holiday!"

Konan didn't want to go to work anymore, especially since she hadn't been in contact with Nagato for a long time.

With Byakuya's perceptive abilities, she knew everything that was happening in the entire Ninja Kingdom. To avoid being exposed, Konan had been keeping quiet.

"Then you go."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, and then left as well.

Watching her retreating figure, Bai Ye shook his head. He also hoped that Xiao Nan could go back and resolve this matter.

"Jiraiya, you're back."

Byakuya sat on the stone wall that once belonged to the Hokage, looking down at the bustling crowd below.

A series of footsteps approached Bai Ye from behind, and he was also curious about why Jiraiya had returned this time.

Speaking of which, he left this place to travel after the Ninja Kingdom was established.

Although as people continue to flock to the Ninja Kingdom, the places they can travel to are becoming fewer and fewer.

"Yes, this place really is changing every day!"

Jiraiya had actually been back for a long time, but he was also captivated by the situation here.

After wandering around for a while, Jiraiya wanted to return to his old ways, but he was spotted the moment he returned, which troubled him greatly.

I just wanted to gather material. My book is a bestseller in the entire ninja world, so why am I being treated like this?

"Yes, everyone's been daring to go to the hot springs since you left!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying?!"

Jiraiya was stunned.

Does he still want to bring this up again?

What does it mean that everyone feels comfortable going to the hot springs even when I'm not here?

Is he really that sleazy?

"It is indeed a bit sleazy."

"."

Have his true feelings been known to everyone?

Jiraiya sat beside Byakuya, looking down at the people below, temporarily putting aside his thoughts; he didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.

The current ninja country is much better than the old Konoha!

Old man, it seems you really were wrong.

Jiraiya thought to himself that he once believed that if Byakuya rebelled and pushed the Uchiha to the center of power in Konoha, it would not lead Konoha to a better position.

After all, in everyone's mind, most Uchiha are responsible for fighting, and they don't have much talent in politics. Moreover, with such a successful example of rebellion, it will only make other powerful clans in the village restless.

Therefore, he felt very sorry for Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, but at that time Jiraiya knew very well that the old man had indeed gone too far.

But now everything here makes Jiraiya realize that he may have been overthinking things before.

After Byakuya unified the ninja world and brought peace to it, he went to see the Great Toad Sage, which only made him more confused.

The prophecy seems to have failed, but I have spent most of my life following it.

But the truth told him that everything was wrong, and all his efforts in the first half of his life had been in vain, leaving Jiraiya somewhat lost as he wandered through the ninja world.

For a fleeting moment, he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

"Bai Ye, do you believe in prophecies?"

Jiraiya looked up at Byakuya and asked.

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Byakuya pondered for a moment. Was the prophecy wrong?

correct.

In the anime, wasn't it Jiraiya's disciple Naruto who resolved this crisis and brought peace to the ninja world?

So the prophecy was correct, but his arrival changed everything. However, Bai Ye didn't believe in the so-called prophecy at all.

This prophecy is nothing but a denial of Naruto's efforts!

Is this what they call fatalism?

Ashura's reincarnation saved the world, just as Kaguya Otsutsuki's attempt to turn the entire ninja world into a breeding ground for White Zetsu was thwarted by the Six Paths brothers.

It seems that the only solace in the ninja world rests on the Six Paths family.

etc.

I think I am one of them.

Just as Bai Ye was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, he suddenly realized that he was also part of this family.

If I keep doing these lotteries, I'll probably become as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, the ninja world is still not peaceful. There are still members of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, as well as Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Kaguya. At the same time, the current situation of the Akatsuki organization is also unclear. Otsutsuki Momoshiki could come here at any time. In addition, the problem of Uchiha Madara has not been resolved.

Therefore, the current peace in the ninja world seems to be only temporary.

“I do not believe in prophecy, and there has never been such a thing as a child of prophecy.”

Bai Ye said calmly.

It used to exist, but it doesn't anymore.

"Jiraiya, I believe that everyone should firmly grasp their own destiny, rather than be arranged by fate. This applies to me, to the so-called chosen one, and to you as well. Why do you wander the ninja world for this illusory chosen one?"

In Bai Ye's opinion, among the Sannin, only Orochimaru was the most insightful; the others all had some problems to varying degrees.

Orochimaru is obsessed with immortality and the power of the Uchiha clan, Tsunade is immersed in the grief of losing her loved ones, and Jiraiya lives on for his destiny.

The former lives for themselves, the second lives in the past, and the last lives in the face of fate.

"Have you heard my story?"

Your face tells a story.

Not many people know about the prophecy of being the child of prophecy, so Jiraiya certainly wouldn't keep using this to promote himself.

But this matter could be found out with a little investigation. Jiraiya was surprised that Byakuya even knew about these things.

However, after listening to Byakuya's words, Jiraiya was actually thinking about what he said.

It seems that I have indeed been wandering the ninja world because of this matter.

In the ninja world, Jiraiya only did two things: find Orochimaru and find the Child of Prophecy.

The others were things Jiraiya did incidentally, such as writing Icha Icha Paradise.
