NOVEL NEXT Chapter 297
The breeze stirred up by Taichi’s little butterfly has begun to affect the entire world, as Kumogakure’s actions prove.
Kumogakure did not act according to the original plot, so the Third Raikage might not have died at the hands of Iwagakure, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure would not have fought to the death.
In this way, these two villages can devote more troops to fight against Konoha, and the pressure on Konoha will rise sharply.
As for Sunagakure, Rasa might not be able to become the Fourth Kazekage without her merit in resisting the Third Raikage.
In addition, the Third Raikage did not take action personally, so Sunagakure’s losses were not that great, and it was very likely that he would also participate in the war.
Plus there’s the Kirigakure Village, which is watching eagerly.
If things develop like this, then Konoha may really be besieged on all sides, and it is impossible to be destroyed. Konoha has a profound heritage, but it may have to pay a huge price.
Although the plots are different, the Third Ninja War will start no matter what, which can be seen from the movements of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
I just don’t know if the course of the Third Ninja War has changed, whether Obito will be chosen by Madara, and whether Lin will die…
“well……”
Taiyi looked sad and sighed helplessly.
From now on, apart from knowing some secrets that others don’t know, Taiyi’s advantage as a time traveler is gone.
We can only take one step at a time.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to Konoha. I will investigate Kumogakure’s matter.”
Jiraiya thought Taichi was worried about Konoha’s situation, so he came over and patted Taichi on the shoulder, comforting him.
Taichi asked Jiraiya without explaining.
“Then what are you doing here? This is not Kumogakure. If you want to investigate, you should go to the Kingdom of Thunder, right?”
Jiraiya’s expression was solemn and hesitant.
Seeing Jiraiya’s hesitant expression, Taichi immediately understood and waved his hand.
“Well~ forget it, now that we have met, Jiraiya-sama will treat you to a hot spring bath.”
With that said, Taiyi took the lead and walked towards the hot spring house.
“You little brat, you really like to take advantage!”
Although he said so, Jiraiya did not refuse.
I’ve been traveling a lot these days, so it would be nice to take a bath in a hot spring to wash away the dust.
Two people, one large and one small, walked into a luxurious hot spring house. This was a place specially chosen by Taichi. After all, there was a rich man like Jiraiya.
Although the situation is tense now, Jiraiya’s first book “Intimate Paradise” has been officially published and has achieved good sales, so Jiraiya is now rich in assets.
In fact, Taiyi also thought about becoming a copywriter and copying a few novels from his past life to make some money.
But it’s a pity that writing a book is not that easy. Taiyi doesn’t have that kind of writing style, so he can’t copy it even if he wants to.
“Ha~ so comfortable~”×2
Two people, one large and one small, leaned on the edge of the hot spring pool and said lazily.
“Jiraiya-sama.”
“Um?”
“Will Konoha lose?”
Taiyi spoke calmly, leaning against the hot spring pool and looking at the ceiling.
Jiraiya didn’t answer immediately. He pondered for a moment before speaking.
“I don’t know, but I will do my best to protect the village.”
Like Taichi asked, “Will Konoha lose?”, not “Will Konoha win?”
Because if the four major ninja villages really besiege Konoha at the same time, then Konoha cannot win this battle, and not losing is already the limit.
“You’re awesome, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Hey! Kid! The village is also your home. Do you want to sit back and ignore it? Don’t think I don’t know. Your strength is no weaker than that of the Sannin.”
Jiraiya sat up straight and stared at Taichi’s face.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Jiraiya-sama, I’m just a harmless chuunin.”
Tai turned his head to avoid Jiraiya’s gaze.
The two men met each other in the hot spring. Jiraiya stared at Taiyi like this. Taiyi was a little scared and unconsciously moved away from Jiraiya.
“Do you really think I don’t know?”
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes with a serious expression.
Looking at Jiraiya’s expression, Taichi’s heartbeat accelerated for a moment, but then calmed down.
Then he said in a rude tone.
“What do you know? You know what I’m just a chuunin.”
“It took less than two months to learn to fly the Thunder God. Although I am not yet proficient, I can use it flexibly in battle.”
“In the war with the Sand Ninja, you are the main force in cutting off the enemy’s supply lines, you provide the intelligence, and you also participate in the formulation of the plan.. ”
“In addition, we fought back and forth with the One-Tail Jinchuuriki, and protected our companions to escape smoothly.”
“Also some time ago, you helped Tsunade overcome hemophobia. Tsunade also taught you the techniques of strange power.”
“Finally, you also invented the same ninjutsu as Minato, and you also did what Minato couldn’t do. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it still meets the standards of forbidden jutsu.”
Under Taichi’s dull gaze, Jiraiya listed everything Taichi had done recently.
“In addition, you are Sakumo-senpai’s disciple, Shinnosuke’s student, and the former ANBU squad leader. With these things in mind, and your status, you still call yourself a chuunin?”
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
“I wouldn’t have known I was so awesome unless you told me…”
Tai smiled and spoke.
“Tch! I don’t mean anything by saying this. I just want to tell you that the village does not belong to one person. Everyone needs to work hard to protect the village. Whether it is you, me, or the Hokage, this is our mission.”
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: “Uncle Ben?”
“Um?”
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows as the iron fist of love struck.
“Boom!”
“Ouch! Why are you hitting me!”
Taiyi grimaced at the blow.
“I’m here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, and you’re talking nonsense to me? If not, who are you going to hit?”
Jiraiya curled his lips and ignored Taichi’s cannibalistic gaze.
“I just hope you can think clearly that the village belongs to everyone, not the Hokage, nor anyone else.”
“I know, I don’t want to defect either. Why are you telling me this?”
The pain eased, and Taiyi leaned against the hot spring pool again.
“Of course you won’t. I just want you to be prepared. Many people may die this time. Anyone could die.”
Jiraiya’s tone was full of sadness and helplessness, as was his expression.
Every war is like this, but ignorant humans will start a war again after every pain, forgetting everything they have experienced before.
That’s why Jiraiya followed the big toad sage’s prophecy to find the ninja who would bring changes to the ninja world, that is, the legendary son of the prophecy.
That person is Jiraiya’s apprentice, and Jiraiya now has two candidates, one is Nagato and the other is Minato.
Jiraiya also thought about adding one more candidate, Taichi in front of him.
