Chapter 208 Jiraiya: Yes, Yes, Yes! This Is What I Want to Learn!

In a remote small village in the northwest of the Country of Fire.

With a piece of grass in his mouth, Jiraiya was hugging two girls and talking about his "glorious achievements".

This includes, but is not limited to, taking various "hearings" about the war and making them your own, and then adding fuel to the fire and using them as bragging rights.

It made the two girls giggle.

After spending a comfortable night, Jiraiya heard some news early the next morning from the bartender in the village's tavern.

There is a truce between Iwagakure Village and the Country of Rain.

When Jiraiya heard this, he didn't even have time to put on his pants and ran out in his underwear.

There was a reason for him to be so anxious. He followed the instructions of the Great Toad Immortal to travel around the world and search for the Son of Prophecy. During this period, apart from the problems in his private life, although he was idle and wasting his time every day, he also found some time to Fulfill the prophecy.

The Great Toad Sennin said that he also wrote a novel during his trip, and Jiraiya has indeed had thoughts in this regard recently.

But he had never been on the battlefield, and he couldn't imagine what it was like to be a ninja on the battlefield.

He didn't want to pay attention to the beggar because he looked slovenly.

Naruto, a very good name.

The old man seemed to be out of his mind, and he could say such nonsense.

…

He wanted to write a story about a ninja who went through many hardships and finally succeeded in defeating the enemy and helping the village win.

And just when he had a headache, he heard the news.

If such a beggar appears in a village, he will be taken away within ten minutes and forced to work.

He opened his eyes drowsily, then struggled to sit up. When he saw the figure of the young man beside the fire, the old man was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled bitterly:

"Is this the underworld...I can even see my younger self..."

So...I am still young in this world? "

Then this day came...

Jiraiya was a little surprised.

After all, this is not Konoha Village, and no one will treat such a sloppy beggar.

he got hurt?

He thought of a lot in just a moment.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, but the other person was his eldest brother, so what was there to say?

But then he got into trouble.

Therefore, Jiraiya would generally ignore these beggars when he encountered them.

Jiraiya suddenly frowned: "Old man, you don't have to speak if you can't speak. Look at my heroic appearance, how is it like you were when you were young?"

The crackling sound of the burning wood seemed to wake up the injured old man.

and……

And after a brief period of confusion...

Moreover, he has already begun to write the work, and he has already thought of the name of the protagonist, which came to him while eating ramen.

Jiraiya looked at the old man opposite and shook his head helplessly.

Konoha is desperately short of people. You are not disabled and you look like you are in your fifties. Why are you so lazy?

However, when Jiraiya passed the side of the figure lying under the big tree, he saw the bleeding bandage under the other person's kimono.

As the saying goes, what you care about is what you will do after being exposed.

So, on this night, he lit a fire.

Now 28 years old, Jiraiya is at the age of a passionate man.

He even imagined that the opponent was a ninja who escaped from the battlefields of Iwagakure Village and Rain Country.

He saw an old man with white hair under a tree.

Forget it, let’s go somewhere interesting in nearby Kangkang.

After all, he couldn't help but die.

Jiraiya thought to himself as his feet stopped moving.

The person opposite suddenly hammered his palm: "Ah, yes, I forgot that this is another world...

Hearing what this dead old man said, Jiraiya of course jumped.

At first he didn't care, but when he heard that the fight got bigger and bigger, he couldn't sit still. He trekked all the way from the Bear Country in the southeast of Konoha across the Fire Country, and he was about to enter the Rain Country. As a result, you Tell me that you have a ceasefire?

Jiraiya was about to burst into tears, so he inquired carefully, oh, it turned out that the Third Hokage sold ten chakra cannons to the Country of Rain, and together with Iwagakure Village, ten cannons were not impossible to shoot, but that would probably cost hundreds of people. Thousands of ninjas thought about it and decided that it was not worth it, so they gave it up, stopped fighting, and went home to farm.

But he certainly couldn't accept the fact that he looked similar to a slovenly old beggar.

Because he has never experienced war...

Iwagakure and the Country of Rain are fighting again.

After staying in Konoha Village for a long time, he instinctively dislikes some beggars with hands and feet, because in Konoha Village, as long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work, it is impossible to starve to death.

In fact, Jiraiya was talking nonsense. When he saw the two oil paint marks on the old man's face, Jiraiya felt that he was similar to the old man.

Jiraiya looked the old man up and down. Apart from the fact that his hair color, face shape and the paint on his face were exactly the same as his own, there were not many similarities in other places...

Well, there is only a little bit of resemblance, and there is absolutely no way that I will be like this in the future.

However, the other party seemed to be interested. The old man came to Jiraiya at a speed that was not slow at all, and hugged him and laughed: "I really didn't expect it. After coming here, I was unlucky and the first person I met was the bastard Orochimaru. I thought his experiment had been successful and he was so young. It turns out that I am only this old~

Come on, come on, since I am young, I must know where there is a good dark building nearby? Take me there, take me there. As long as I go there, all my injuries will be healed."

Jiraiya hit the old man's shoulder irritably: "Don't be so familiar, I don't know you at all!"

The old man laughed, and then opened his mouth and told Jiraiya's deepest secret: "You are traveling to the Land of Fire because of the prophecy of the Toad Sage, right?"

Jiraiya was a little surprised, because he didn't even tell his eldest brother, the current Hokage, about the Toad Sage. How did this old man know?

Could it be...

No... Impossible!

I will never be like this when I am old!

However, the old man produced more evidence.

One of the items was exactly what Jiraiya wanted.

It was the thing that he was writing his first novel now...

[Old Jiraiya understood a lot when he saw his younger self. Although it was strange that in this world, he should be participating in the war in the Rain Country at his age, and then he would meet Nagato, Yahiko and others soon.

However, this world did not have that kind of war atmosphere. He seemed to be just traveling?

But it didn't matter. He was here to investigate after all. He could investigate as long as he wanted.

First, he had to gain the trust of his self in this world. After all...

He was penniless now...]

Jiraiya was silent.

In fact, people are such strange creatures. You don't know what kind of person you will be when you are old.

But one day, an old rogue who looked very bad and frivolous appeared in front of you. Although you were sure that this was your old self after you looked at him carefully, you still resisted this conclusion in your heart.

It was probably similar to: Why do I still look like this when I am old? ——Thinking like that.

Now Jiraiya was trapped in such self-doubt.

Fortunately, the old Jiraiya gave an explanation.

When he heard that it was his self from another world, Jiraiya, to be honest, his first reaction was relief.

Although strictly speaking, most people would be very shocked to hear this news.

Especially when they heard it for the first time.

But compared to this being his future self...

it was easier to accept that it was his own self from another world that he had no relationship with.

Especially later, because Jiraiya was unwilling to take this old man to the dark building to have fun, the old Jiraiya started to play tricks, which made Jiraiya more convinced.

He would definitely not look like this when he was old.

Then the old Jiraiya proposed a "deal".

In short, he could provide Jiraiya with some help, such as the battlefield experience that Jiraiya was most in need of now, which was used as material for writing a book.

Because he had really been on the battlefield.

Jiraiya certainly didn't believe it.

The old Jiraiya smiled slightly, saying that in order to gain your trust, I could tell you some information from my world as a basis for trust.

Jiraiya hesitated for a long time and finally chose to agree.

Then the old Jiraiya told Jiraiya a story.

A story about Konoha Village being attacked by four other great powers at the same time.

In their world, this war was called the Second Ninja World War...

"Wait, the second time? You mean there were more than one or two wars of this level? There won't be a third time, right?"

The old Jiraiya blinked and thought for a while and asked: "Has Konoha in this world never been attacked by other villages?"

Jiraiya thought for a while and said: "If there is a time, it was probably when I was still young, when Konoha was attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village and invaded.

At that time, the Hidden Rock Village also wanted to fight us."

The old Jiraiya sighed helplessly. Isn't this still the same as their world?

So, maybe it's just that the time point in this world has not arrived yet?

"What happened next?"

Jiraiya: "Later, my eldest brother managed the logistics, and used mutual trade to stabilize the Sand Village that wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, persuaded the Mist Village to retreat, and resisted the frontal attack of the Rock Village and the Cloud Village. Well... Later, I don't know why the Second Generation Mizukage and the Second Generation Tsuchikage fought and died together. In the end, the Cloud Village surrendered because it couldn't hold on, and even paid 2 billion taels in compensation."

The old Jiraiya's face was already bulging with shock, and even his nose was running.

What you said...

Why is it different from what I know? !

The old Jiraiya shook his head. This is another world, this is another world...

But...

"Who is your eldest brother? He sounds so powerful?"

The old Jiraiya asked casually.

In fact, this question is already considered to be an exploration of information.

Yes, compared to the much younger Jiraiya, the older Jiraiya had more experience, so when he saw his younger self, he knew that he could get some of the information he needed from him.

In fact, when he first came here, he wanted to pretend to be Jiraiya of this world. After all, he had obtained the panoramic picture album of Konoha Village in this world from Tsunade, as well as the basic information of Konoha Village in this world.

But those were only the most basic information.

And what he wanted to know was naturally the division of administrative departments in Konoha Village, preferably how the powers were divided, how the administrative department worked, what was the division of labor between the different levels of ninjas, and what were the various sub-departments of the scientific research department...

These were what the Yamato team heard about during the month they came here, but because of insufficient authority, they had no qualifications to enter, let alone investigate.

Of course, he knew that the Hokage of this world was not Tsunade or even Sarutobi Hiruzen, but someone he had never heard of.

And because of this, he wanted to test himself in this world.

Jiraiya thought about it and said to his older self: "This, although it may seem like bragging, it is not something that cannot be said.

My elder brother is the current Hokage."

The older Jiraiya smiled slightly. When the other party was willing to tell this news that was not particularly important, the distance between the two sides naturally became closer.

The older Jiraiya then explained the history of their world.

Jiraiya was a little confused: "Wait, you mean your teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Third Hokage? Can he really be one...

Oh, it's not that I don't trust the teacher, it's just... he's definitely not qualified compared to my elder brother..."

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Damn, your apprentice is really... really... What nonsense are you talking about...]

Then Jiraiya exclaimed while listening: "What?! Tsunade's brother Nawaki died?"

The old Jiraiya clenched his fists, all of this is to get closer, all of this is to get closer...

So he continued to talk...

"What? You also went to the battlefield, and you got the title of Sannin together with Tsunade and Orochimaru?"

The old Jiraiya took a deep breath and suppressed his discomfort again.

It's not that you can listen, but can you not be so shocked?

Can you be more calm?

Whose personality do you take after? !

So, he continued to tell the story:

"What? Tsunade's boyfriend is dead too? Her boyfriend is Kato Dan? Um... who is that? I thought it was my elder brother..."

The old Jiraiya held back fiercely. No, I can't get angry. I have to hold back...

Wait, what did he just say?

"What did you say?! Who did you think it was? What does this have to do with your elder brother?!"

"I should ask this! Why is Tsunade's boyfriend not my elder brother? Then where is my elder brother?"

"No, isn't your elder brother the current Hokage?! Why is he related to Tsunade?!"

"Nonsense! They are married, what do you mean by relationship?!"

"What?!" The old Jiraiya stuck out his tongue in shock more than before.

At this time, he remembered that the information he had seen mentioned a content...

"Wait, I remember that Tsunade in this world has two children, so could it be..."

"Yes, hers and my eldest brother's."

"..."

The old Jiraiya seemed to have grasped the key to the problem...

"Now... I have told you about the situation in my world, it's your turn." The old Jiraiya suddenly became interested in the history of this world.

...

In fact, the old Jiraiya still didn't say one thing, that is, the content about Orochimaru.

It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but...

After all, he still didn't completely regard Orochimaru as his enemy...

Of course, if he returned to his own world, he would definitely take action as soon as he saw Orochimaru, and then bring him back to Konoha.

Just like... Naruto saw Sasuke.

And this night, after the old and the young finished comparing the history of the two worlds, all that was left was a sigh...

"This world... is pretty good." The old Jiraiya looked across, as if he saw the past, and then he smiled gently, "Try to cherish it, don't really be like our world... so many tragedies."

Jiraiya snorted coldly: "Of course, I will, this world, I will protect it."

As expected of a 28-year-old, he easily said something that would have embarrassed him to death when he was a child.

Such words are too naive for children, but just right for people of this age.

"Well, but before that, I want to see the book you wrote. Of course, I won't plagiarize. I just want to see what the other world I wrote is about, and learn from it. You know, I haven't been on the battlefield, and I need materials."

The old Jiraiya was stunned. Of course, he remembered what the first book he wrote when he was young was. After all, it was his first book, and he couldn't forget it, but...

He didn't bring it with him.

As for what he had on him…

How should I put it? It was definitely a masterpiece, but…

Looking at his younger self, the old Jiraiya fell into deep thought. After a moment, he laughed shamelessly and patted his younger self on the shoulder. He took out a book with a yellow cover and a man chasing a woman from his clothes and handed it to his younger self: "This is the book I wrote. It was well received in my world and has been reprinted dozens of times."

Jiraiya looked at the other person in surprise: "Dozens of times? Really? You are so good? Could it be... you are an artist?"

How should I put it? If I always think that the other person is a beggar because he is sloppy, then I will definitely think that he is just so-so.

But when I heard that the other person is a writer, and his performance is very good, he is a great writer who has reprinted dozens of times.

Then I suddenly realized that the other person's sloppy appearance is actually a manifestation of casualness.

Jiraiya opened the book with great longing, he also wanted to be such an artist!

Then...

One minute later, he realized that something was wrong...

What he wanted... war material seems...

Not this kind?

Ten minutes later, Jiraiya was a little autistic. What on earth was he reading?

Half an hour later, Jiraiya was staring at it.

One hour later, he could not hear anything else except the sound of turning pages.

Two hours later, Jiraiya closed the book and looked at the old Jiraiya with shining eyes:

This!

This is it!

What I want to learn...

This is it!
