Chapter 185 Jiraiya's Suspicion

"It's not easy to survive in the hands of Jinchūriki, and you..."

At this point, Jiraiya seemed to realize something, and asked in shock: "Wait... did you just say that you destroyed the two-tailed Jinchūriki?"

Bai Ye found a seat and sat down casually, saying disapprovingly: "With the strength of me and Shisui, it's not easy to destroy the two-tailed Jinchūriki, doesn't it sound strange?"

Of course it's strange, that's the Jinchūriki with the tailed beast in his body...

Except for the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha Madara in the Warring States period, anyone would attach great importance to the Jinchūriki, after all, the Jinchūriki is not just the Jinchūriki, but also the tailed beast in the body that is like a natural disaster.

However, considering the age of the two-tailed Jinchūriki, Bai Ye and Shisui are not without a chance to defeat Yukito.

After all, Shisui is the first genius of Uchiha, and Bai Ye is a monster who can kill ordinary jonin in seconds.

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya chuckled and said, "It's hard to estimate the reward for destroying the Jinchūriki. I need to report it to the Hokage and listen to his opinion."

"But don't worry, brother Bai Ye. Konoha will definitely give a suitable reward."

Hearing this, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered:

"I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected reward this time when I came here to ask for the reward. Not only can I get the reward for rescuing Uchiha, but I can also get the bounty of Yukito."

Bai Ye's muttering voice was very low, but it was very clear to Jiraiya's ears, and at the same time, doubts arose in his heart.

Could it be that Yukito was not destroyed by Bai Ye, but by Shisui's team?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya looked at Shisui on the side and asked, "Shisui, tell me about the experience of this mission in detail..."

Shisui nodded gently and took out the prepared speech.

In Shisui's speech, their team encountered Yukito who acted alone. After a hard battle, they finally controlled Yukito, but they almost died in the explosion of the tailed beast ball.

After hearing these words, Jiraiya looked suspicious and began to doubt Shisui's words.

It's not like he hasn't fought with Jinchūriki before. Jinchūriki is not that easy to deal with, but the fighting power of Sharingan is well known in the ninja world. In the case of sneak attack, there is still a chance of victory.

If Shisui really defeated Yukito, then Uchiha would have a Kage-level strongman.

At this time, Bai Ye glanced at Shisui fiercely, and then said unhappily: "Shisui eliminated Jinchūriki, but if I hadn't taken action, Shisui would have died with the two-tailed."

"Brother Jiraiya, given our relationship, you will definitely add my name."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of all the ninjas here, and they had a new understanding of Bai Ye's shamelessness.

Jiraiya said with a bit of a smile:

"I will mention you more in front of the Hokage, but the elimination of the two-tailed Jinchuriki is a very important matter. I still need to formulate future strategies. You guys go down for the time being."

Hearing this, Shisui and Byakuya did not stay in the command room for too long and left in a hurry.

After Bai Ye, Shisui and others left, Jiraiya put away the smile on his face and said to the room behind him: "Shikaku, Choza, do you think Bai Ye and Shisui's words are credible?" Nara Shikaku walked out of the room, looked at Jiraiya and said: "Whether the two-tailed Jinchūriki is eliminated or not, we will know in a few days, and Bai Ye and Shisui have no need to deceive us." Hearing this, Jiraiya sighed lightly and said: "Shikaku, you know that's not what I'm asking." Nara Shikaku frowned and said with some doubts: "Then what is Jiraiya-sama doubting? It's a good thing for the village to eliminate the two-tailed Jinchūriki, and Uchiha also got the credit they wanted." "That's true... I worry too much." Seeing Nara Shikaku deliberately pretending to be stupid, Jiraiya no longer entangled in the details. In Jiraiya's view, there are many loopholes in Bai Ye and Shisui's words, and there is a suspicion that they are selling the credit to Uchiha. After all, it is impossible for Shisui to defeat the Jinchūriki with his strength. Unless Shisui possesses the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan, but if Shisui really possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, the village may be in turmoil again.

Nara Shikaku also guessed this, so he pretended to be stupid.

He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Hokage Building and Uchiha. This time, Uchiha got the credit for destroying the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, which was not necessarily a good thing for Uchiha.

Retracting his thoughts, Jiraiya asked Nara Shikaku:

"Shikaku, when do you think I should report the news of Yukito to the Hokage? If Yukito is really eliminated, should we continue to defend or take the opportunity to launch a counterattack?"

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment, and then said: "Jiraiya, the Cloud Village may not have received the news of Yukito's death yet, which is a good time for us to counterattack."

After a slight pause, Shikaku continued: "But my opinion is to continue to defend this place."

"Why?" Jiraiya did not understand Shikaku's plan. Obviously, the best choice at present is to expand the results of the battle, but Shikaku persuaded him to continue to defend this place.

Shikaku took a deep breath and explained to Jiraiya: "If it is just this battle, we will naturally attack the mainland of the Land of Lightning and destroy the Cloud Village."

"But the village's enemies are not just the Cloud Village. Once we attack the Land of Lightning, the Rock Village and the Mist Village will inevitably interfere with us."

"And the Rain Village is our ally now, but it will be different in the future."

After hearing these words, Jiraiya's face condensed, and he understood Nara Shikaku's thoughts.

If Konoha fails in the invasion launched by the Cloud Village this time, it will lose the ally of the Land of Hot Springs, and even lose the land in the northeast.

But if the Cloud Village is completely defeated, the Rock Village and the Mist Village may form a secret alliance with the Cloud Village to fight against the Konoha Ninja Village together, and the Rain Village will also grow stronger in the war and threaten the safety of Konoha.

Shikaku's words are very unpleasant to hear, and there is a suspicion of destroying the friendship between the Rain Village and Konoha.

But Jiraiya knows that Shikaku's speculation is not completely unreasonable. Although Yahiko and others are in charge of the Rain Village, the real mastermind behind the scenes is still the Salamander Hanzo.

This demigod with a great reputation in the ninja world has to be treated with caution.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed softly. There were too many intrigues between the ninja villages. The world without war and mutual understanding between people that he believed in might not exist.

As a ninja who longed for peace, his hands were already stained with blood.
