"But..." The Konoha high-level officials looked at each other, all a little hesitant. Jiraiya's character was really untrustworthy. It would be troublesome if he ran away taking advantage of this opportunity.
Even the Third Hokage frowned and did not speak. He knew his student's character very well.
"Don't worry, I am your disciple after all. Now that Konoha is in trouble, it is impossible for me to just leave like this." Jiraiya laughed, but although he said so, he actually planned to take Naruto away from Konoha Village to practice, without looking for Tsunade.
Unlike the original work, the Third Hokage died in the original work, and Jiraiya naturally had to take responsibility. But now that the Third Hokage was still alive, the playful Jiraiya didn't want to do some troublesome things at all.
"I'm sorry, Jiraiya, I know your character very well." The Third Hokage shook his head with a smile, then looked at Kaoru.
"Kaoru, please go with Jiraiya this time and bring Tsunade back."
"Me?" Kaoru was stunned. He didn't expect the Third Hokage to ask him to go with Jiraiya.
"That's right, go and monitor Jiraiya, so that he doesn't sneak away alone. If he really dares to run away, you can catch him back. With your strength, there will definitely be no problem."
The Third Hokage had seen the spectacular scene of Kaoru using two S-rank ninjutsu at the same time. He had already determined in his heart that Kaoru's strength was probably not lower than Jiraiya's, even if it was not above Jiraiya's.
"Old man, you really value this Uchiha kid..." Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Jiraiya had to shake his head helplessly: "Okay, let's go together, but I still hope to bring another person."
"Who?" The Third Hokage asked.
"The legacy of the Fourth Hokage: Naruto Uzumaki."
"So that's it, you don't trust him?" The Third Hokage fell into deep thought. Guy had come to him before, saying that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki had appeared in Konoha. It seemed that the organization that Itachi was a spy in had begun to act.
"Very good, I will agree to you and let Naruto go with you." After a few seconds, the Third Hokage agreed to his approach.
"That's good, I'll leave in a week." Jiraiya nodded, then prepared to walk out of the room.
"A week, why does it take so long to leave?" Homura Mitokado asked.
"Because Naruto's injuries will not heal so quickly, so I want him to rest for a while. Besides, isn't the old man still here? Konoha still has someone in charge."
Hearing Jiraiya say this, the Konoha high-level officials also agreed. After that, Jiraiya left the ward, and Kaoru had nothing to do, so naturally he followed out.
Following Jiraiya to find Tsunade? It didn't matter, but since it was Tsunade, it would be best if Tsunade could take Wan'er as a student.
Kaoru thought to himself, so that Wan'er could have the Hundred Healings Technique and the Summoning Slug ability like Sakura in the original work, plus the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, um, in that case, she would have strong combat power even in the later stages.
As for himself, he would have Heroic Ninjutsu, and learn Sage Mode in the later stages, plus the Flying Thunder God Technique, not bad, quite good.
Thinking of this, Kaoru said to Jiraiya: "Um, Lord Jiraiya, I'm going to bring my sister with me."
"What?! You're going to bring your sister with you?! You're not kidding me, are you?" Hearing Kaoru say this, Jiraiya immediately exclaimed.
"That's right." Kaoru was calm.
"No! Absolutely impossible! I'm going to carry out the task of finding Tsunade, not to travel. If I bring three people at once, I can't take care of any danger!" Jiraiya retorted loudly.
"What danger is there that even the legendary Lord Jiraiya can't handle?" Kaoru teased.
"Ahahaha, kid, what you said is right. As the Toad Sage, my strength is of course very strong." Jiraiya laughed, then his face immediately turned cold: "But this time it's really not possible. Even if you flatter me, kid, I won't let you follow."
"Could it be... are you worried about Akatsuki?" Kaoru suddenly stared at Jiraiya's eyes and said.
Hearing Kaoru say this, Jiraiya's body immediately stiffened. He turned around suddenly, and his expression also became serious.
"How do you know about the Akatsuki organization?" Jiraiya asked, no longer like he was before.
"Actually, I just found out." Kaoru lowered his eyelids and said: "Not long ago, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki came to Konoha Village. They claimed to be the Akatsuki organization."
"They started to act so soon?" Jiraiya's face was shocked, and he shouted.
"That's right, they faced the Konoha Jonin, and they didn't lose at all. Itachi Uchiha even solved Kakashi with genjutsu. Kakashi is probably going to lie in bed for a week."
"Kakashi is indeed not their opponent." Jiraiya did not think about it and sighed: "Actually, I have been paying attention to this organization for a long time, because Orochimaru once joined this organization, but they are too mysterious, and what I know is only superficial."
"Um, Naruto has been listed as their target. I know, and that's why you want to take him away." Kaoru nodded: "It's just that everyone in Akatsuki is extraordinary in strength. You alone may not be able to take care of Naruto. I will also help you, and my sister will be taken care of by me."
"You also know that the opponent is "Akatsuki", and everyone in it is a notorious rogue ninja. What's the use of bringing you two little kids?"
"Don't forget, Orochimaru is not my opponent." Kaoru was underestimated by Jiraiya, and there was still a burst of anger in his heart.
"Not only that... plus!"
Saying this, Kaoru moved his hand and shot a kunai directly at Jiraiya!
"Huh?!" Jiraiya reacted immediately. He tilted his head and dodged the attack of the kunai directly.
"Hey, what are you, kid..." Jiraiya was about to scold Kaoru, but found that the Kaoru in front of him had disappeared, and the kunai he had shot did not make a sound of falling to the ground.
"How is it, Lord Jiraiya..." Not knowing when, Kaoru had appeared behind Jiraiya, and caught the kunai he had thrown himself.
"So that's it, has he already been able to do this..." After a while, a smile appeared on Jiraiya's mouth: "He has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Second Stage, which is really beyond my expectation. I thought no one could learn this trick anymore..."
"So, Lord Jiraiya, do you agree now?" Kaoru put away the kunai and smiled.
"Since you have said so, I can't refuse." Jiraiya nodded. Kaoru's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations. If he knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, having him by his side would definitely be a great help!
"Okay, in that case, let's make an appointment. We'll meet at the gate of Konoha Village in a week. Since you said Kakashi was injured, I'll go and see Kakashi first." Thinking of this, Jiraiya disappeared in place with a Body Flicker Technique.
"A week later, it seems that I have to prepare something too." Kaoru smiled.
Wan'er's injury can be recovered in two days, and it is completely no problem to catch up with Jiraiya's departure time.
After separating from Jiraiya, Kaoru went directly to Wan'er's ward.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Kaoru said to Wan'er.
