Chapter 39: Come Back to The Village
Yuki coveted Hiruzen's crystal ball for a long time, and now it finally fell into his hands, which was what he wanted.
But when he excitedly tried several times, he unexpectedly found that the crystal ball was not as omnipotent as he imagined.
In principle, it could indeed monitor the movements of one person in the Konoha Village from a distance, but this needed to be the condition to master the chakra characteristics of the person.
In other words, detecting the other person in the crystal ball was difficult if one did not know it very well.
Hiruzen couldn't move his eyes from the crystal ball because he had been very familiar with Konoha for decades.
Now that Yuki used the crystal ball, he could only check a few people he knew.
Originally, he had secretly picked up a few bathhouses full of business.
It should be said that it was a commercial street near the bathhouse.
This allowed him to understand the situation of the people in Konoha without going out.
It was a pity that it would be impossible to achieve this quickly.
Forget it. Talk is better than nothing. Let's see how Ritsuko Yamanaka's black silk girl... is doing in poverty alleviation.
Do it as you, please.
Yuki cast a telescope spell on the crystal ball.
In an instant, a familiar face appeared in the crystal ball.
...
At the gate of Konoha.
Just as Yuki was working hard to inspect the work of his subordinates, the two Konoha guards who were guarding the entrance suddenly frowned. They opened their Sharingan and looked at the extremely fast figure who was running towards them.
"Who is it? Stop!"
The speed of the person still did not decrease.
Just as the two Uchiha were about to attack, the person stopped at the gate and said emotionally,
"He's back!"
"Who are you? Are you Jiraya?"
An Uchiha was about to ask who the person was, but he changed his words when he noticed his white hair and the word "oil" on his forehead.
"You are... Shigeru Uchiha, right?" Jiraya, one of Konoha Sannin, turned his head at the gate and said with a hearty smile.
"I didn't expect that Jiraya would still remember my name." Shigeru was surprised.
In the battle between Konoha and the Land of Earth, he had followed Jiraya, the commander of the Land of Earth, for a short time, which was why he could recognize Jiraya.
"As a commander, it is only natural to recognize every one of my men."
Normally, when he said this, he would have a smug expression on his face.
But now, his smile was a bit forced.
Seeing this, he quickly guessed the reason and quickly registered for Jiraya.
"Mister Jiraya, welcome back to Konoha. You can go in now." Said Shigeru.
"Thank you, Mao." Jiraya patted his shoulder and was about to enter when he suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice, "Orochimaru. Is it really like what the outside world says?"
Shigeru nodded.
Jiraya was silent for a while, then finally stepped into Konoha.
Looking back, he felt that the figure of one of the three Konoha Ninjas in the world was very bleak.
A quarter of an hour later.
Just as Yuki was still looking at the crystal ball, suddenly, a sound came from outside the window, followed by the appearance of the Dark Group guarding him and the harsh voice.
Yuki frowned slightly. He quickly put away the crystal ball and covered it up. Then he turned to the window.
On the eaves, in the encirclement of a group of Dark Group Ninjas, a familiar person appeared in front of him.
"Don't make a fuss. Let Mr Jiraya come in." Yuki smiled and waved his hand.
Hearing this, the Dark Group around quickly dispersed.
And Jiraya, who caused all this scratched his head awkwardly.
He jumped from the window into the Hokage's office and quickly apologized to Yuki, "Sorry! When Teacher Hiruzen was here, I was used to climbing the window and forgot to change it back."
Yuki said indifferently, "Mister Jiraya doesn't need to change in the future. I will instruct the Dark Group to stop him."
Jiraya shook his head, "Forget it. It's a willful move, after all. It's better to change."
As he spoke, he looked at the Office of the Hokage, which now had a completely different style. Suddenly, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards Konoha.
In the end, the newcomer changed into an old man. In the past, Anbu would never come out to stop him after seeing his face.
But now, the times have changed.
The freedom and willfulness of the 3rd generation were no longer suitable for the 4th.
In particular, the latter was not very familiar with him, and even because of Tsunade, in a sense, he was a love rival.
So, on the surface, he looked like he was from the heavens, but in his heart, he knew that he had to change.
Seeing this, Yuki did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he asked, "Why did Mister Jiraya suddenly return to Konoha? Didn't you send a letter to the western part of the continent to pick wind?"
"Yes, the witches in the western part of the continent have a different style. I wanted to collect more materials there, but I heard a piece of news in the middle, so I rushed back." In the end, Jiraya's face became serious.
"Is it because of Orochimaru?" Yuki said lightly.
Jiraya took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes."
"So what does Mister Jiraya want to do? Should he accuse the village of not killing Orochimaru? Putting aside the fact that he did not want to surrender and had already defected, just for his own selfishness, killing the villagers and carrying out a cruel forbidden experiment, his death was not a pity. These accusations were all sufficient evidence. If you don't believe it, you can check it out. But please remember, do not put personal feelings on Konoha's law!" Yuki said without a trace of politeness.
Hearing this, Jiraya didn't say anything for a long time.
Honestly, he didn't know why he rushed back after hearing the news.
It had already happened, and it was too late for him to change.
But that impulse, the emotion that had been with Orochimaru for decades, urged him to come back.
However, at this moment, standing in front of Hiruzen, he did not know what to say.
As the other side said, Orochimaru deserved to die. Everything Konoha did was in harmony.
So, what could he ask?
He asked why Yuki didn't show mercy in the beginning, and when he came back, he would try to convince Orochimaru and make him a new person.
Can it work?
Jiraya shook his head. Although he was sometimes very naive, he also knew that he would not convince Orochimaru's character.
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not pulling him back in time after discovering Orochimaru's strange behaviour and let him walk on the path of no return.
Jiraya's eyes dimmed, and he finally said: "I don't mind what the village is doing, but as an old friend of many years, I would like to bid farewell to Orochimaru and ask Lord Hokage to pass on the message."
"Orochimaru's body is now in the analysis room. Jiraya san, take my warrant and say goodbye."
Yuki did not refuse Jiraya's request, wrote a warrant, and handed it to him.
After thanking Jiraya, he quickly left the office.
This time, he walked through the door.
At this time, looking at his back, Yuki thought of another person.
Since this person in front of him had come.
Then the other three ninjas should also have a reaction.
