Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 385 An Unexpected Encounter

A cool breeze blew across the rooftop, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.

After Sasuke's emotionless, cold voice rang out, Rock Lee raised his eyebrows and glared at Jiraiya before he could reply, saying seriously, "Sasuke, this senior is the highly respected Jiraiya-sama of Konoha. How dare you address him by his first name?"

however--

Just as Sasuke had ignored Kiba before, he ignored him now as well.

Jiraiya's deep gaze swept over Sasuke, then over his three companions, before finally settling back on Sasuke.

"That's right, I am Jiraiya, also known as the Toad Spirit Immortal of Mount Myōboku!" In the somewhat solemn atmosphere, he introduced himself by shaking his head, adding a touch of quirkiness to the place.

"What a long name."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's long name, Suigetsu and Karin's lips twitched in unison; they were quite in sync on this matter.

"Very good, it seems he's the person I've been waiting for." Sasuke's lips curled slightly after confirming Jiraiya's identity.

"You were waiting for me?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

"Judging from your route just now, you were originally going to the Hokage Building, right? You were going to find Tsunade?"

Sasuke replied, "That's right, I have a question for you."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised. Naruto had been chasing after his comrade for a long time without success, and today he had come back specifically to ask a question?

That's really quite rare.

But the next second, when Sasuke asked the question, his calm and collected expression instantly changed color!

"I want to ask you, was it the Konoha higher-ups who instructed Itachi to do the annihilation of the Uchiha clan?" Sasuke asked coldly.

His words were heard in the quiet, empty space, not only by Jiraiya and his group who were facing him, but also by the Konoha ninjas watching from dozens of meters away!

"What?! What did he just say?! The Uchiha clan's higher-ups instructed them to do this...!"

."

The Konoha ninja who knew what happened back then changed color and exclaimed in surprise, but quickly shut up halfway through his sentence, clearly reluctant to talk about what happened back then.

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out? I think I've heard of that before, but that was a long time ago." Some of the younger ninjas weren't very clear about it, so their expressions were somewhat blank.

As someone who had tried to bring Sasuke back multiple times, Kiba Inuya knew all too well what kind of hatred Sasuke carried, and also knew about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

That's precisely why he was even more astonished.

Sasuke left the village to kill Itachi Uchiha, who wiped out the Uchiha clan, so why is he asking such a question now?

Could it be that there are hidden details behind what happened back then?!

In an instant, the Konoha ninjas watching were all stirred with emotion. Although they did not discuss it much because of the sensitive topic, they could not help but speculate about Sasuke's words.

The atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Jiraiya calmed down after a moment of shock; he truly hadn't expected Sasuke to ask such a question.

He wasn't in the village when the Uchiha clan was wiped out, and he was quite shocked when he learned of it.

Much later, he asked Hiruzen Sarutobi why this had happened, but Hiruzen Sarutobi did not tell him the specifics of the matter, only sighing desolately, "This is all my fault."

Therefore, he knew then that there was more to it than just Itachi Uchiha's betrayal of Konoha and massacre of the Uchiha clan; there must be much more complex reasons behind it.

But he didn't investigate the reason anymore. After all, he had long since stopped caring about village affairs and was only focused on finding the Child of Destiny. Asking Hiruzen Sarutobi about it was just a casual question that came to mind.

He never expected that years later he would hear Sasuke ask him questions about the events of that year, and such pointed questions at that.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question because I don't know about this matter."

Looking at Sasuke's indifferent expression, Jiraiya spoke slowly.

"Someone of your status wouldn't know?" Sasuke smirked coldly.

"Fine, I'll just go find the Hokage and ask him for clarification."

Having said that, he was about to set off.

But before he could do anything, Jiraiya said, "Going to Tsunade won't do any good. Tsunade and I both don't know anything about what happened back then, and she's not in the village right now."

"Not in the village?" Sasuke frowned slightly.

This was quite unexpected for him, as the Kage of a village rarely left the village, especially the Kage of the five great ninja villages.

However... judging from Jiraiya's words, Tsunade also didn't know the truth about what happened back then, so it seems that whether the other party is still in the village or not is no longer important.

"Then take me to the high-ranking person who knew about this back then. I remember a guy named Shimura Danzo, he definitely knows about this." After a fleeting thought, Sasuke said coldly.

He didn't know who Danzo was originally, but Madara Uchiha told him that Danzo was one of the high-ranking members who participated in the destruction of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo?

Jiraiya's eyes narrowed.

Danzo should have known about what happened back then, but... how could Sasuke know about this person, and how could he know that Danzo knew about this matter?

It seems that someone told him these things. Was it Itachi Uchiha, who had already died? Or Madara Uchiha, who was recently killed by Nagato and Konan?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Jiraiya did not immediately ask the question. Instead, he said, "I can take you to him, but your companions cannot go. Danzo is currently imprisoned in a prison, which is one of the most important places in Konoha. Apart from the villagers, no one else is allowed to go in, let alone get close."

Logically speaking, he could have refused Sasuke's request. After all, Sasuke's actions this time were clearly hostile, and judging from his tone, he had already concluded that the destruction of the Uchiha clan was related to the Konoha leadership back then. His questioning now was just to confirm this point.

Once this is confirmed, it's not hard to imagine what Sasuke would do. Given his extreme behavior of leaving Konoha to kill Itachi Uchiha, he would most likely treat Konoha as an enemy and seek revenge.

At that time, there will inevitably be a battle between him and Konoha.

But even if his request to question Danzo is refused, can this battle be avoided? Probably not.

Therefore, Jiraiya agreed to his request and took him to question Danzo. This way, even if the two had a battle, they would understand the cause of the conflict.

However... if things really develop to this point, then Naruto will probably find it very difficult to win back his comrade.

Jiraiya sighed softly to himself.

"No! Sasuke! He's trying to get rid of us so he can take us down one by one!" Karin raised an eyebrow and immediately rejected the idea after hearing Jiraiya's reply.

This trip was extremely dangerous, so how could she let Sasuke go with the other party alone?

"Little girl, if you really wanted to harm you, why don't you do it now? Look at all these people here, it would be easy to make your move." Jiraiya chuckled.

Sasuke ignored Karin's advice, thought for two seconds, and then agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you alone."

""

Then he said to Karin and the others, "You all wait for me here."

Having said that, he leaped onto the rooftop next to Jiraiya: "Lead the way."

Jiraiya nodded, made some arrangements for the ninjas watching, and then left with Sasuke.

Accompanying them were an ANBU member, as well as Goku, Might Guy, Rock Lee, and others who were already with them.

They moved quickly, and in just over ten minutes they left the central area and entered the forest leading to the prison.

At this point, Goku looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Uncle Jiraiya, can I ask now?"

Previously, after learning that Goku wanted to see Sasuke, Jiraiya told him not to ask that question in public, because he knew that Tsunade didn't want too many people to know about it yet.

Wukong agreed, so he kept quiet about asking.

"Sure, go ahead and ask, Wukong."

After receiving Jiraiya's confirmation, Goku looked at Sasuke and asked, "Hey! Tell me, where did you take that innocent person?"

Sensing his gaze, Sasuke turned his head and frowned slightly: "Are you talking to me?"

"That's right! You're Naruto's partner, right? Do you know that Naruto got beaten up because of you? He just left this morning to find you and the person you kidnapped!" Goku said seriously.

"You got beaten up?" Sasuke asked expressionlessly.

"Here's what happened. A few days ago, you captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure. The Raikage convened a Five Kage meeting because of this and put you on the kill list. Naruto didn't want to see you being hunted down, so he and Tsunade left this morning to go find the Raikage and ask him to rescind the order, and to find the Jinchuriki you captured." Jiraiya explained the situation in a few words.

"As for Naruto being beaten, I don't know what happened, but I think it has something to do with you."

As Jiraiya spoke, he secretly observed Sasuke's reaction.

But he found that Sasuke still had no expression on his face, seemingly unmoved by what Naruto had done, and even mocked, "Heh, that guy is still as self-righteous as ever."

Wukong frowned; this guy's attitude was just awful.

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is no longer with me; he's in Madara Uchiha's hands," Sasuke said calmly.

Not long after capturing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he handed him over to Obito. However, he did not know that what he had captured was only an tentacle, and the real Jinchuriki had already escaped.

"Uchiha Madara? That's it." Jiraiya nodded, then looked at Goku: "Goku, don't worry about that guy, he'll be fine."

Madara Uchiha is dead, and the Rinnegan that can extract tailed beasts is in Nagato's body, so the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is definitely not dead. He is probably imprisoned somewhere right now, and we'll find him later.

"Is that so?" Goku blinked in surprise. If that's the case, that's great. Naruto would be very happy too.

After some time, they walked through the forest and came to a cave.

Looking up into the cave, the scene before them immediately changed Jiraiya and Might Guy's expressions!

"Lord Danzo, are you alright?"

Inside the opened prison cell, Danzo, who had been given the antidote, slowly awoke.

Upon seeing Kuroda Yuta before him, he knew immediately that his plan had succeeded.

This person was a spy he had cultivated outside the core of the organization over many years, and no one knew about him.

The other party is absolutely loyal to him because he activated Kotoamatsukami more than once during the other party's growth process, imprinting an indelible mark of loyalty in the other party's mind. Even the most trusted person in Root cannot match the loyalty of this person.

It can be said that no matter what order he gives, even if it is to kill the other party immediately, the other party will do it without hesitation.

.....

The sensory barrier was still open, but there was no one responsible for monitoring it at this moment, so no one could know the chakra fluctuations that Danzo leaked when he released his chakra seal.

After leaving the cell, Danzo looked at the patrolling ninja lying in the passageway not far away, pondered for two seconds, and then asked, "You used all of that stuff?"

Following behind him, Kuroda Yuta respectfully said, "Yes, Lord Danzo, but it can't keep people unconscious for too long. I estimate that in another half hour, someone with strong willpower will wake up."

"Half an hour... is too short," Danzo said.

Although half an hour would allow him to successfully leave Konoha, he wouldn't get very far. Once Konoha realized what was happening, there would still be a good chance they could catch up with him.

So he decisively issued a cold and ruthless order.

"You stay here and kill all those unconscious Konoha ninja. After you're done, if no one in the village has discovered what's going on here, transform into my appearance and leave. Once you're out of the prison, head west."

He needed to allow himself enough time to escape, so he had to ensure that all the Konoha ninjas in the area died out completely.

Not only that, he also used his only remaining subordinate as a pawn to mislead Konoha into following the wrong path.

In this way, he would have a great chance of escaping Konoha's pursuit.

Faced with this order, Kuroda Yuta bowed his head without hesitation and replied, "Yes, Lord Danzo!"

After Kuroda Yuta disappeared from his side to carry out his ruthless killings, Danzo did not stroll leisurely as usual, but instead lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly rushed towards the prison gate.

Before long, he arrived at the prison gate, a heavy iron gate five meters high and four meters wide, which was always tightly closed, and it was still closed now.

On either side of the iron gate, the ninjas guarding the area also lay unconscious on the ground.

Danzo didn't waste time finishing off the two men himself. Instead, he simply unbolted the door, pushed it open with his arm, and the iron door swung open to both sides with a rumbling sound.

As a ray of light shone from outside the cave, Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, strolled out of the prison, and thought to himself: One day, I will return and show you how wrong your decisions were!

However-

At that very moment, he suddenly noticed several gusts of wind coming from outside the cave.

Just then, his eyes adjusted to the light, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that Jiraiya, several Konoha ninjas, and Son Goku, whom he had seen once before from afar, had appeared there!

Danzo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Damn it! Why did they have to come at a time like this!

A
