Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"No...impossible!"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, shaking his head repeatedly.

He stayed in New Konoha and witnessed its rebirth firsthand.

I witnessed firsthand the changes in Konoha, and even the entire ninja world.

The seed of prophecy had already been planted in his heart that Naruto was the child of prophecy.

However, according to the Great Toad Sage's words, one of his disciples is the Child of Prophecy.

Because of Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha, and everything Naruto has done, his idea of ​​taking Naruto as his apprentice is simply impossible to realize.

To be honest, during his time of atonement, he had wondered if the ninja world, having produced Naruto Uzumaki, still needed a child of prophecy.

But finding the prophesied child had become his obsession.

"Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage's prophecy can't be wrong."

Fukasaku shook his head. Mount Myōboku was well aware of the changes in Konoha, and even the changes in the entire ninja world.

However, even the Great Toad Immortal has said so.

Even if it's outrageous, it's still true.

"Although the old man is senile, he is still accurate in his predictions."

Shima glanced at Gamamaru with disdain, then turned to look at Jiraiya:

"Jiraiya, you need to think this through carefully."

"We must stop Naruto Uzumaki now. He is not the child of prophecy. He may seem to be doing Konoha and the ninja world good now, but he will attract an insurmountable enemy in the future..."

Shen Zuo nodded slightly, then added:

"Mount Myoboku will stand behind you."

"Now that you can return to Konoha, you can investigate many things."

"We've also heard about Naruto Uzumaki. He has a strong duality in his actions and is very absolute."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was stunned.

He thought of the villagers and ninjas of the old Konoha, and the F4 who, even if they hadn't done anything great, had at least put in the effort.

He didn't yet know what it meant to have zero tolerance for dark forces.

It's unclear whether Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, or many members of the Akatsuki are currently contributing to the ninja world as a way to atone for their sins.

"Why can we tolerate those people... but not forgive those defenseless former villagers and ninjas?"

For a moment, Jiraiya found himself in a strange state again.

If the people of Konoha heard this now, Jiraiya would definitely be beaten to death.

Even if it wasn't someone from Konoha, but someone from another village who heard about it, Jiraiya wouldn't have an easy time.

"Great Toad Sage, shall we declare war on Konoha as it is now?"

"Otherwise, if this momentum continues, it won't be long before no one can stop Naruto Uzumaki."

After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice.

The giant toad immortal closed his eyes, and his toothless old mouth slowly opened.

"Everything depends on Jiraiya's decision."

"The future of the ninja world rests on your decision."

"The Child of Prophecy has not yet appeared. We must stop him to avoid future crises... Only by finding the Child of Prophecy can we save the ninja world."

Jiraiya scratched his head and slumped down.

He said weakly, "Wait a little longer... I need to confirm something."

"If Naruto can accept the former villagers and ninjas without holding grudges... it proves that he has great love, and the ninja world... will not... will not bring disaster to the ninja world."

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance. "Jiraiya, it's up to you to decide. Mount Myōboku will make the preparations first."

"If we fail in the end, then we'll attack from both inside and outside, stopping Naruto Uzumaki as quickly as possible with minimal damage."

"I understand." Jiraiya gave a wry smile and stood up somewhat dejectedly.

Before long, they were sent back to Konoha.

At that moment, Jiraiya looked up at Konoha and seemed somewhat dazed.

He walked the streets of Konoha like a zombie.

The children played and frolicked, and the villagers and ninjas lived in harmony.

None of the scenes seemed to indicate that anything would bring disaster to the ninja world.

Jiraiya took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

I resolutely went to the bathhouse.

However, the moment the bathhouse owner saw him, his face turned dark.

"I just want to wash away the grime on my body," Jiraiya said, his head bowed.

"You can't wash it off! Get out! If you take another step forward, I'll sound the alarm and call the security team to arrest you, you peeping tom!"

But the boss immediately yelled.

Previously, he was one of the legendary Sannin, a figure of great renown.

Do you think the owner wouldn't know what I'm doing at the bathhouse?

But what can be done?

They couldn't drive them away, and they didn't dare to.

Even if they are driven away, with their strength, they can still sneak back.

Jiraiya fell silent, then turned and left.

You can only go to the river in Konoha, as long as you can wash yourself clean.

However, when he arrived at the riverbank, he found that many villagers were patrolling.

Several children wanted to go into the water to play, but were immediately scolded and sent back.

"You can only come if your parents bring you!"

"Go back! Go back!"

"Uncle, let's just pick up some stones by the river."

"It's so hot, we can at least wash our faces!"

"No!"

The villagers still refused, but soon called over another villager who was patrolling the riverbank.

"Fukada, take these kids to collect some stones and keep an eye on them."

"it is good."

Jiraiya changed his location and walked towards the spot he remembered.

Not long after, he was also stopped.

"You, go back!"

"I just wanted to go to the river to wash myself."

"roll!"

"Girls often come here to do laundry and wash themselves? You're probably still up to your old tricks!"

I was kicked out again.

Jiraiya lowered his head and remained silent.

He returned to his house in Konoha.

However, when he returned home, he found that his house had long been included in the territory of the dark forces and had been demolished and rebuilt.

Having no other choice, Jiraiya had to leave the village to find a water source to bathe.

After all, outside the village, it would look different, and no one would know no matter how much you washed it.

When they returned, they were stopped by Konoha's two gatekeepers, Kotetsu and Izumo.

They frowned, gave Jiraiya a disdainful look, and then questioned him:

Why is it so clean?

"Did you go out to spy on other women taking a bath?"

"Damn it!"

After Jiraiya gave a long explanation and assurances, he was finally allowed to go inside.

However, Izumo and Kotetsu still wrote this matter down on a scroll and had it sent to the Anbu so that they could investigate whether the situation was true.

Jiraiya walked down the main street of Konoha, even though he had already washed his clothes and body.

But in the hearts of the new villagers and ninjas of Konoha, he is still considered dirty.

At that moment, Jiraiya was filled with mixed feelings, and he happened to run into Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sweeping the streets.

There was a slight pang of reluctance in my heart.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi had a happy smile on his face at that moment.

"I'm full of energy today too. Yesterday, a child smiled at me... As long as I keep working hard, I'm sure I'll gain everyone's recognition!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned.

Why did it turn out like this?

Without further hesitation, he walked towards the Hokage Building.

He was going to find Tsunade and ask her everything.

However, when he arrived at the Hokage Building, he was stopped again.

"I need to see Tsunade. Please inform her."

"Who are you?" a member of the ANBU ninja asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Lady Tsunade is very busy. Just tell me what you need."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a villager came running over.

"Shinichi, I have something important to report to Lady Tsunade. I'll come out to register my information later."

"Wait a minute, Xiao Ba, take him upstairs."

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya instantly teleported into the Hokage Building.

If this drags on, you won't be seeing Tsunade today.

"Damn it!"

"How dare they break into the Hokage Building! Sound the alarm!"

"etc!"

"Why, Shinichi?"

"Jiraiya has seen those dozen or so ungrateful wretches."

"Hmph! A leopard can't change its spots. I'm going to tell Lord Shikaku right now!"
