Nagato's expression was stunned for a moment, and his brows locked in a frown the next second. The Six Paths Pain beside him shook his body, and then disappeared into the cave under the flickering firelight.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I will give you a reasonable explanation for this matter, but Black Zetsu is out gathering intelligence now, so it will take some time."

"Then I'll stay here for the next few days."

While the two were talking, they did not notice a figure leaving from underground.

Two minutes later, Black Zetsu appeared above, revealing a black and white head, and quietly watched six figures constantly shuttling back and forth in the rain.

"Why did Jiraiya find us? We have never been discovered even in front of Madara-sama."

Facing White Zetsu's question, Black Zetsu took a few seconds before answering, "It's very likely the Myoboku Mountain magic, but can the magic of the three holy places actually have such power?"

The power of immortal arts is the most special, and among the three holy places, Myoboku Mountain is the most special.

It was because Yui learned the magic from Myoboku Mountain that she dared to attack her mother.

But has Jiraiya used any magic in the past few days?

Another figure appeared in Black Zetsu's mind. He had just looked for him yesterday, and was sensed by Jiraiya today. It was such a coincidence.

But if it was that brat, then what was the reason? Why did he reveal his information to Jiraiya only now?

After thinking for a long time inside the tree roots, Hei Zetsu still couldn't figure it out.

There was no other reason. He really didn't want to give up chess pieces like Seto Chihiro and Uchiha Itachi, and the magic of Myoboku Mountain was too special.

The old toad's ability to predict the future was something it had no idea how it worked. It was possible that the toad had seen its existence in a dream and was using Jiraiya to track down its whereabouts.

It doesn't matter if Obito is exposed. If he is exposed, no one will be able to save his mother.

So many things happened this time, was it all caused by that toad?

"It seems that I have to be more careful about Jiraiya and Myoboku Mountain in the future..."

When Black Zetsu thought of the conversation between Gamamaru and Hagoromo thousands of years ago, a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Yes, what a scary guy, he actually found us, but what should we do now?"

Bai Zetsu made the appropriate inquiry.

"Come on, let's tell Obito about this first, and then show up on our own initiative after some time."

In the following few days, the Six Paths of Pain went out regularly every day to look for Black Zetsu, and Shizune, as before, changed the dressings and treated Nagato, and Nagato's complexion was getting better and better under Shizune's treatment.

Just as he started practicing walking, Konan cried with joy and Jiraiya was relieved, Zetsu took the initiative to appear in their sight.

"Master Chief, I'm back."

"Jue, where have you been during this time? I'm very curious."

"I found Orochimaru's traces in the Land of Rice. He should have returned a few days ago, but I saw Madara... It was a message from Obito, so I was a little concerned."

"Ban hasn't been back for a long time. He may have left the organization. Be careful when you go out next time."

After saying that, Nagato looked towards Jiraiya.

"Teacher Jiraiya, this is Zetsu, the one who has been in charge of Akatsuki's intelligence work all by himself."

Looking at this strange shape, even though Jiraiya had been prepared, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hello, Master Jiraiya."

"Uh... hello, you just said that you found traces of Orochimaru, can you tell me in detail?"

Black Zetsu looked at Nagato, and at the latter's nod, he slowly took out a scroll and said, "When I was observing the surrounding small countries, I accidentally discovered that the Daimyo of the Land Country was supporting Orochimaru in conducting human experiments."

Is Orochimaru conducting human experiments again?

Jiraiya took the scroll and froze, looking at Konan and Nagato, finding that they had no expression on their faces. After Nagato vaguely showed a sense of protection for Zetsu, he felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart.

After all, it was through Chihiro that he knew that Zetsu was secretly observing him.

Now Jue took out the results of this period of time - the whereabouts of Orochimaru.

After becoming the Hokage's assistant, Jiraiya naturally knew how valuable this information was.

The Konoha Anbu had been trying for such a long time but still hadn't found it. Although Jue relied on his own blood, it still takes a lot of time for a person to move underground.

"Teacher Jiraiya, do you have any other questions you want to ask?"

"Ahahahaha... Without Nagato, let's just leave it this way for now, let's just leave it this way for now..."

Watching Jiraiya leave, Konan opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Chapter 43 Perfect Jinchūriki Plan

In the dark cave, there is no sunlight all year round. If a person stays here for a long time without a reference to time, he will gradually lose his sense of time.

Seto Chihiro didn't know how long she had been training Yin Yang Release.

Tsk, failed again...

He looked at the figure leaning in the corner. The Yin-Yang Escape Creation that he had just extended in his hand had not yet fully formed before it collapsed and turned into debris that fell to the ground.

"Master Jiraiya, what makes you so depressed?"

"It's you, Chihiro."

"You seem much happier seeing me, Jiraiya-sama. If you don't mind, tell me what's on your mind and make me happy."

"I'm already so depressed, how can I be happy?" Jiraiya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You guys are here to make me happy, right?"

"Chihiro, you can't be so disrespectful to Master Jiraiya."

Feeling the force on her head, not too heavy or too light, Seto Chihiro sat beside Jiraiya indifferently, sighed, and imitated Jiraiya to fall directly beside the tent.

"It is related to Nagato, right? Now that you have done it, don't regret it. There are not so many regret pills in this world."

"I have no regrets..."

Jiraiya shook his head, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, but quickly suppressed them again.

As Nagato's teacher, he thought that this was his last care for Nagato, and he went against everyone's opinion and treated Nagato's legs. For this, he was scolded by Tsunade and the old man in turn.

These are what a teacher should do. Besides, Nagato's change towards him, from having no murderous intention in the beginning to calling him Jiraiya-sensei now, are pleasing changes.

But...

It seemed like Nagato was always hiding something from him.

The look of absolute faith in him really made people a little worried.

......

Two full days had passed since Jingyin had her dressing changed, but living in the sun still made people somewhat uncomfortable.

"Look, isn't that Master Jiraiya..."

"What are you talking about? How can you call that adult by his name? He is the Hokage Assistant..."

The repeated shouts from the crowd seemed to make the white-haired man excited in a rare way.

"Hey, hey, hey, see, kid, you will be like me in the future, and become a person admired by everyone."

Seto Chihiro looked at the old lady at the door of the hot spring shop in the distance and asked in confusion: "Really? Why did I just hear someone sighing that the former peeping Tom would become the assistant of the Hokage."

"Really? Someone must have framed me. Hahahaha... You are so beautiful, Miss..."

Jiraiya didn't blush or feel nervous, as if he really had not falsely accused him, and began to greet the villagers of Konoha over and over again.

"It's really... shameless."

The shy unknown woman accidentally bumped into him. Seto Chihiro felt the vague gaze above his head and began to mourn for someone in his heart.

"Chihiro, you must not become like Master Jiraiya in the future."

"Well, I won't be like Jiraiya-sama."

Under the blue sky, as they got closer to the Hokage Building, more and more people recognized Jiraiya. Fortunately, Seto Chihiro's defeat of the Eight-Tails and saving Konoha was not known to others, so he and Shizune arrived at the Hokage Building earlier.

"Dong dong..."

After two knocks on the door, a voice came from inside the Hokage's office.

As the door opened, Seto Chihiro stepped into the room and looked around. The room was not clean, but it was definitely not messy either.

The sunlight shines on the figure in front of the window, covering her with a layer of outer coat. Time has left no trace on her body.

"Lady Tsunade, I've always said not to leave papers lying around." Shizune picked up the paper on the ground and walked towards Tsunade muttering.

"Ahem, I didn't put it randomly. I forgot to close the window last night and the paper accidentally fell on the floor." Tsunade retorted, "Why hasn't Jiraiya come back yet? Didn't I see him with you guys just now?"

"Lord Jiraiya is still downstairs, and is now trapped in a crowd." Seto Chihiro handed the scroll to Tsunade and told the truth without hesitation.

At this moment, someone was walking on the stairs and sneezed unconsciously.

"Hehehe, I wonder who is thinking about me again..."

"That guy, his nature never changes..." Tsunade held her forehead and sighed. It might be a wrong decision to let Jiraiya become the Hokage's assistant.

"Tsunade-sama, I have put all the documents from the past few days into order."

Shizune looked helpless and put the reorganized documents back on the table.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shizune. You should go back and have a good rest today. Chihiro, you too."

"You really don't want me to stay? Won't it make the room a mess again?"

"They have some trust in me..."

Tsunade opened the scroll in her hand, her voice becoming quieter and her brows furrowing unconsciously.

Seto Chihiro and Shizune, who were standing to the side, turned and walked towards the door.

They had not had a good rest these days. After getting used to the warm and comfortable soft beds, even a ninja could not sleep peacefully on the hard ground.

I'll buy a few more quilts and put them in the scroll later...

Just as Seto Chihiro was thinking about the problem and walked to the door, Tsunade put down the scroll and suddenly spoke, her voice no longer as cheerful as before.

"Chihiro, I'm sorry you can't make your own arrangements this holiday. I have a special task here."

"A special mission? Is it urgent?"

"Yes, I may not be able to tell you now, but if you want to take a good rest, I can postpone this task."

Seto Chihiro thought for a few seconds about the guilt revealed in Tsunade's words, and then said, "Are you leaving the village?"

"Not really."

"That's good. I don't want to sleep in a tent anymore."

"Then come to the Hokage's office tomorrow at noon."

"it is good."

The sound of a door closing was heard, and when the sound of the two people's footsteps could no longer be heard in the corridor, Tsunade couldn't help but let out a sigh and looked at the scroll again with a serious expression.

The most worrying thing has happened - Nagato and Jiraiya have already had a rift

Although treating Nagato, having Jiraiya plead for mercy, and using Nagato to contain Obito were ultimately all for the sake of profit, wasn't it also hoped that Nagato could understand the truth and reduce his hatred for Konoha?

But if Nagato really was hiding something from Jiraiya, what could it be?

Would things have been simpler if Orochimaru had gotten rid of those three little guys?

The reason why Tsunade thought so was because when Orochimaru faced the three people, he had long planned to attack the three people and let them die without pain, but was ultimately stopped by Jiraiya.

boom--!

The office door was slammed open and Jiraiya walked in with lipstick marks all over his face.

"Tsunade, I'm back. Shizune and Chihiro have a vacation, so it shouldn't be too much for me to have a vacation too!"

What answered him was a pile of freshly sorted scrolls and a simple word.

"roll!"

the next morning.

After a good night's rest, Seto Chihiro left the Senju base after leaving two scrolls for Ayana to pass on to Karin and Ayana.
