Uchiha Tatsumi didn't know exactly when the Second Ninja World War ended, but as the time came to September, the atmosphere in the station became more and more tense.
Not only because of the war situation, but also because of the years of war, every ninja's heartstrings have reached a point where they are about to collapse.
From Uchiha Tatsu's point of view, Sunagakure was already at the end of the war. In the previous battle, they could barely survive by relying on a pile of human lives.
But you must know that there are still ninjas in Konoha Village who have not been transferred, and Sunagakure Village is almost running out of time.
Surrendering was the right choice in this situation, but Suna Ninja persisted. Could it be that the Third Kazekage thought there was still a possibility of a comeback
It was another jounin meeting, this was already the eighth this month.
When Uchiha Tatsu entered the big tent, there were already many ninjas here. He smiled and said hello to a few familiar jounin. He also sat down quietly, preparing to listen to what Orochimaru would say next. What.
"...Huh? Huh?"
Uchiha Chen couldn't help but doubt his own eyes. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of a figure he hadn't seen for a long time.
—Jiraiya.
Yes, it was indeed Jiraiya. Uchiha Tatsumi felt a little dazed and a little confused. After all, they hadn't seen each other for two years, and Jiraiya was still as charming as before.
The oil-painted face is full of a sense of justice, the curved corners of the mouth are proud but not coquettish, the slightly red cheeks make people feel infinite warmth, the right eyes of the eyes are full of joy, making people think about it, and the gentle eyebrows hide the merits and fame .
Ah, as expected of Jiraiya.
It's really amazing. He was the only one who could peek at Tsunade's waves in such a shameless and decent manner, which was completely different from someone like me who only dared to peek out of the corner of his eye.
Uchiha Chen couldn't help but admire.
Jiraiya did not insult the title of lustful immortal!
But Tsunade's clenched fists seemed to indicate that she was not happy and was about to explode at any time.
But Jiraiya is Jiraiya, and the way of Shinobi who never gives up no matter what the situation is, is indeed worth hearing a hundred times and seeing it once.
...This is probably why he was able to train Naruto.
Orochimaru obviously didn't notice that his two friends were about to fight, and he had an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Everyone, this time another group of ninjas have been supported in the village." He coughed lightly and continued: "In order to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness, Jiraiya is leading the team this time."
Hearing Orochimaru mention him, Jiraiya, who was watching the game in a civilized manner, had no choice but to stand up and say hello to the ninjas in the tent.
Although everyone knows Jiraiya and knows his strength, in terms of prestige and achievements, Jiraiya is far behind Tsunade and Orochimaru.
No, it should be said that it is far worse than Uchiha Tatsu.
So even though everyone has smiles on their faces, they actually feel mmp in their hearts. I fought tooth and nail on the battlefield, and you just disappeared for two years.
Why are you coming back now
This is Jiraiya's entire situation. It's a little embarrassing but there's nothing he can do about it. He needs a tough fight to fit into this environment, preferably one where he's almost dead but doesn't die.
If Uchiha Tatsuya were to ask for advice, he thought that confronting the Third Kazekage head-on, or attacking Sunagakure's base alone, would be good ideas. He felt the need to mention it to Jiraiya a little bit after the meeting.
"Ahem, that's about all the extra stuff. Let's get down to business."
Orochimaru also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and quickly changed the subject: "At the end of the last battle, we lost nearly fifty jonin in total. The injured were not included in the statistics. There are about one jounin available now. About a hundred people.
The number of chuunin was slightly more, but it was just over two hundred. According to the information sent back by the intelligence ninjas who were monitoring outside, the Suna ninja currently maintains almost this number. "
"Then there is the specific team allocation plan. The original Jonin team will be maintained as long as the teammates are not missing."
"The list of team leaders is here. Ninjas who are missing a team can come and get one after a while."
The rest of the time is spent on exchanging information. If there are things that the intelligence ninjas come back from the frontline reconnaissance, Orochimaru will pick out the ones that they think are difficult and discuss them specifically. Finally, after discussing tactical coordination for a long time, the Jonin meeting finally adjourned.
Just as Uchiha Tatsu left the tent and walked towards the rest area, a voice came from behind.
"Hey kid, wait for me."
Uchiha Chen turned around and looked back, only to see Jiraiya limping over. At the same time, he covered his face with his hand, looking extremely sad.
"...?"
He was beaten like this in just a few minutes. What kind of evil thing had Jiraiya done
"Chen, long time no see."
Jiraiya said calmly, his long white hair swaying gently in the wind, and a calm smile. He has not been beaten for two years. Not only does he not feel any discomfort, he even enjoys it.
"Uncle, long time no see."
Jiraiya walked around Uchiha Tatsu twice, and then sighed: "We haven't seen each other for only two years, and you are already a Jonin now."
Obviously, even in the Land of Rain, he has been paying attention to the situation in Konoha. When he first heard the rumors about Uchiha Tatsumi, he almost thought they had the same name.
How terrifying this talent is!
Fortunately, Nagato gave him a lot of confidence. In just two years, he had already mastered the changes in the nature of the five chakras.
He is worthy of being the legendary son of prophecy.
"Uncle, are you going to see Minato?"
"Yes, yes, my lovely disciple." Jiraiya nodded: "Although we usually communicate with each other, we haven't seen each other for two years.
Thank you for taking care of him. "
"Haha, don't say that. Minato and I are good friends after all."
"By the way, uncle, were you just beaten by Tsunade-sensei?"
Uchiha Tatsumi asked, pretending to be confused.
Jiraiya shook his head desperately, trying to maintain his little dignity.
"That guy Orochimaru actually taught you to be such a ninja who lacks common sense! Do you think Tsunade can beat me? If I hadn't seen her quite pretty, I would have beaten her long ago."
Jiraiya spoke with great pride, but in his heart he felt helpless. Naoki clearly said in the letter that Tsunade only likes him now, and that she is so devoted that she can't even drive him away. His self-confidence was inflated, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the mouth by reality just after he came back.
Tsunade just doesn't like Kato Dan, I think she doesn't like men!
Jiraiya thought so.
After all, the only way to resist the charm of Uncle Jiraiya is to like women.
While talking, the two of them walked through the long station and headed towards the training ground. At this time, Minato would usually train at the training ground.
A person's success is not random or accidental. Take Minato for example, he is very talented, but the most terrifying thing is that even though he is talented, he also works extremely hard. As long as this kind of person doesn't die, he will come forward sooner or later. This is what Uchiha Tatsu admires most about him.
"That's right." Just when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly looked at Jiraiya: "Uncle, I heard from Sakumo-senpai that you are writing a new novel."
"Yes." Jiraiya was a little proud: ""The Root of Ninja" will definitely be a novel that changes the ninja world."
Uchiha Chen nodded. He also wanted to read this legendary novel, so he quickly asked: "How much have you written? Is it almost finished?"
Jiraiya blushed and held out four fingers.
"Four hundred thousand words?"
(Shakes head!)
"It can't be 40,000 words, right?"
"Ahem, four words."
"..."
