Chapter 264: Boy, I Won’t Believe a Word You Said!
Amegakure.
In the underground pipeline area.
Jiraiya gradually calmed down.
As a trained ninja, no matter what happened in front of Jiraiya. Jiraiya could easily control his emotions.
The only problem was…
Uehara had told too many lies outside and Jiraiya suddenly felt that he could not count them all.
After Jiraiya found out that the death of Hanzo was one of the loopholes, he quickly found that everything Uehara said was a lie.
How could there be a person like Uehara in the world!
Generally, ninjas would lie to one person occasionally, or occasionally leak false information. Why would a guy like Uehara appear?
Uehara had always pretended that Hanzo was still alive and made up a bunch of lies based on the fact that Hanzo was still alive. Jiraiya thought that since one of the things Uehara said might be fake so the other might also be fake.
Everything was fake.
Everything was a lie.
The question was, what was the truth?
Even if Jiraiya tried hard to guess and analyze it, he could not guess it now. Because Uehara’s words had completely changed, leaving him with no clue at all.
Just the name of Hanzo that had been taken out by Uehara for a long time. Who knew which of them might have really happened, but those things done under name of Hanzo were really not true at all.
Damn, how could there be a person like Uehara in this Ninja World!
Jiraiya felt that he had been traveling in the world for a long time. He had experienced everything in his fifties and had seen all kinds of people.
However, a person like Uehara was really strange!
After sighing for a while, Jiraiya found that he seemed to have entered some kind of misunderstanding. His purpose of coming to Amegakure was to get information about Akatsuki, not to think about how many things Uehara had done by borrowing Hanzo’s name!
Perhaps, Uehara and his Sensei only felt that Hanzo’s name was famous and used it to scare others from entering the Country of Rain?
Jiraiya rubbed his wrist and looked at the two Ame Ninjas patrolling in the underground pipeline area. He gritted his teeth and said, “Next, I need to find out if this little brat Uehara has any relationship with Akatsuki. Then, I will look for information about Akatsuki…”
At this moment, Jiraiya really hoped that Uehara and his Sensei just wanted to occupy this Amegakure. Even if Uehara and his Sensei had cooperated with the Akatsuki organization before, it did not matter.
For example, Uehara might have cooperated with Akatsuki to kill Hanzo or something. In fact, it did not matter as long as he did not collude with the Akatsuki organization now.
Even if Uehara had colluded with Danzo and Orochimaru to set off Konoha’s chaos and assassinated the Third Hokage, it would not be a big deal.
First, for Konoha, the best situation was that Amegakure supported the creation of the Akatsuki organization. In the end, they still went their separate ways as Uehara said, and became mortal enemies.
In this way, Konoha and Amegakure could continue to be allies.
Second, for Konoha, the worst situation was that Uehara was a core member of Akatsuki and had been providing information about Konoha to the Akatsuki organization.
From the looks of it, Konoha seems to have been played in the palm of someone.
“The situation shouldn’t be that bad, right?”
Jiraiya rubbed his temples and flew to a certain area of the underground pipeline. He followed the two Amen Ninjas and whispered, “That little brat Uehara still save people. His personality isn’t that bad, right?”
It was a pity.
When Jiraiya used the Toad Mouth Binding Technique to catch the two patrolling Ame Ninjas and interrogated them for information, Jiraiya discovered that Uehara was much worse than he had imagined.
Inside the toad’s stomach.
Jiraiya touched his chin.
Looking at the two stubborn Ame Ninja in front of him. He then chuckled and said, “Who exactly is Uehara? Is he the leader of Amegakure? I can see that everyone in this village respects him!”
“Uehara-sama is the most perfect ninja in history!”
A slightly older patrol Ame Ninja gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “If you want to assassinate Uehara-sama, then you are dead!”
“Ha, the most perfect ninja?”
Jiraiya couldn’t help but laugh, and his eyes gradually became evil, “Oh, you and your wife Miss Tezuna are the same!”
“Bastard, how do you know that my wife is Tezuna!”
The middle-aged Ame Ninja face gradually became angry, and then he looked at Jiraiya helplessly, “I didn’t expect that our enemy would investigate a small character like me?”
“Hahaha…”
After laughing a few times, Jiraiya looked at the middle-aged Ame Ninja in front of him with a serious face and said in a low voice, “If you want to go back safely to see your wife, then tell me everything you know! What happens to Hanzo? Why did Amegakure change leader? Who is Uehara?”
“…”
The middle-aged Ame Ninja fell silent.
A moment later, the middle-aged Ame Ninja slowly shook his head and replied in a deep voice, “Eight years ago, it was said that under Pain-sama’s orders, Uehara-sama killed Hanzo and hung his corpse on the highest tower. From then on, Amegakure was protected by them.”
“Pain?”
“That’s right, Amegakure’s leader is Pain-sama. He is the true god of this village. Uehara-sama and his Sensei, Lady Angel, are messengers sent by God!”
“God? Pain? Angel?”
Jiraiya rubbed his forehead and felt his heart jump. Why did Amegakure seem to have more secrets?
Pain and Angel did not sound easy to deal with. One called himself God, and the other called herself Angel. Moreover, this so-called angel was Uehara’s Sensei. The strength of this angel could be imagined.
Looking at it, Uehara’s status was still at the bottom?
Jiraiya couldn’t help but stroke his chin, “It sounds like Uehara’s position isn’t as high as I thought…”
“No.”
The middle-aged Ame Ninja shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Uehara-sama is the next generation leader of Amegakure. He is the leader who can really bring happiness to Amegakure!”
“Oh~”
Jiraiya nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. He suddenly asked, “Then are Uehara, Angel, and Pain members of Akatsuki?”
“…”
The middle-aged Ame Ninja slowly lowered his head.
After a while, the middle-aged Ame Ninja shook his head and gritted his teeth. He then said, “We don’t know about this kind of thing.”
“Your pulse speed up.”
Jiraiya’s face gradually became a little ugly. He sighed and said, “It seems that they are all members of Akatsuki. The situation is much worse than I imagined…”
Jiraiya had lived for more than fifty years.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
On one side, while standing in their Great Ninja Village Camp. He yelled and killed the members of Akatsuki’s organization and even personally guided the two sides to fight;
On the other side, while standing in the camp of Akatsuki’s organization. He directly and brazenly attacked the Big Country Great Ninja Village, robbing Ninja Village’s Jinchuriki.
Jiraiya suddenly realized a problem. That was why there were often a few ninjas wearing hats among the members of Akatsuki’s organization. That was because they wanted to hide their identities. Uehara was very likely to have participated in besieging the Big Country Great Ninja Village!
“I can’t understand…”
Jiraiya rubbed his forehead and recalled Uehara’s actions, “Why did he do this? While leaking Akatsuki’s information, he even helped rescue the Fifth Kazekage that they rob and even destroy its village…”
No matter how he thought about it, Jiraiya could not understand.
Up until now, such a thing had never happened in the Ninja World. Who had ever seen a guy like Uehara jumping back and forth between the two opposing factions!
Jiraiya’s expression changed as he assumed a direction. Could it be to steal information so that they can capture Jinchuriki? No matter what, he has to find a way to continue investigating the information of Uehara, Angel, and Pain…
The underground pipeline area.
The pouring rain gradually stopped.
A middle-aged Ame Ninja appeared and tidied up his clothes. He then walked step by step into the depths of Amegakure’s pipeline area.
When this middle-aged Ame Ninja walked into the depths of the pipeline, two figures appeared where he had just been. It was Konan and Uehara who had been following him.
Uehara slowly put away his umbrella and asked softly, “Sensei, is Jiraiya-sama in the body of that Genin?”
“Yes, that is the Toad Flatness — Shadow Manipulation Technique.”
Konan nodded and patted the water on Uehara’s shoulder. She explained in a low voice, “Jiraiya-sensei Toad Flatness — Shadow Manipulation Technique can hide his body in that Genin’s shadow and control the Genin’s movements.”
“A very impressive infiltration tactic.”
Uehara looked curiously into the depths of the underground pipeline. He then chuckled and said, “It looks like he has already received our information. We should go and greet Jiraiya-sama now.”
“…”
Konan nodded hesitantly.
At the same time, Nagato’s voice rang in their ears, “I have already sent Chikush?d? (Animal Path) Pain over to help. To deal with Jiraiya-sensei, the most important thing is to deal with his Summoned Beast. The other Pain can arrive at any time.”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Uehara rubbed his palms and said softly, “I once came into contact with a Summoned Beast called Gamabunta. His strength isn’t that great. I’ll go deal with him!”
“Uehara, don’t underestimate Jiraiya-sensei’s strength.”
Nagato’s voice was slightly nostalgic. He continued faintly, “Even I can’t guarantee that I can easily deal with Jiraiya-sensei.”
“In short, let’s go and say hello first!”
Uehara walked into the depths of the underground pipeline with a smile on his face and said, “Anyway, Jiraiya-sama took care of and educated Konan-sensei and Nagato-sama.
Now that Jiraiya-sama has come to our village as a guest, it would be rude to attack him rashly! “
Konan, “…”
Nagato, “…”
What Uehara said seemed to make sense.
In the face of their past Sensei, at the very least, they had to greet him. Then the question was, should they tell Jiraiya why they had come to this point?
In the depths of the underground pipeline.
The middle-aged Ame Ninja, who was controlled by the Toad Flatness — Shadow Manipulation Technique, had just passed through an entrance. He carefully observed the surroundings to see if there were any enemies. At that moment, he heard a familiar voice.
“The shadows are actually very stuffy, right?”
Uehara’s figure suddenly appeared. He grabbed the shoulder of the middle-aged Ame Ninja and narrowed his eyes at his shadow.
Uehara smiled and said, “Come out from the shadow and take a breath of air Jiraiya-sama. We have been watching you from the start!”
“…”
Jiraiya, who was hiding in the shadow, felt his heart tighten.
Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide, right?
The next moment, Jiraiya slowly emerged from the shadow slowly showing his whole body. He raised his head and looked at Uehara, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
The Uehara in front of him was wearing the uniform of Akatsuki. This also showed Uehara’s identity and his attitude.
Uehara no longer hid himself as a member of Akatsuki.
Jiraiya’s expression gradually became ugly. His eyes slightly tightened as he stared at Uehara and said, “Little brat, I would never think that you would actually be a member of Akatsuki.”
“I see…”
Uehara spread out his palm as if he was showing off his clothes to Jiraiya. He chuckled and said, “Jiraiya-sama, do you think this dress looks good? It is much more beautiful than the uniform of Akatsuki’s organization twenty years ago.”
“…”
The corners of Jiraiya’s mouth could not help but twitch.
Now was not the time to discuss whether the clothes of Akatsuki’s organization looked good!
However, Uehara’s words revealed a piece of news. Was Akatsuki’s organization already established twenty years ago?
This period of time was long enough!
This also meant that there must be someone more hidden behind Akatsuki’s organization. This was because the so-called Obito who founded Akatsuki’s organization was still a Konoha Ninja at that time. He was also far from qualified!
“Eh?”
Uehara looked at Jiraiya curiously and continued with a chuckle, “Jiraiya-sama, why aren’t you curious? Shouldn’t you ask me according to the routine? You should ask me what happened to Akatsuki’s organization twenty years ago…”
“…”
The corners of Jiraiya’s mouth twitched. He looked at Uehara speechlessly and said snappily, “Will you tell me the truth if I ask? Will you really tell me the truth little brat, you have been talking about Hanzo for seven or eight years!”
“Hahahaha…”
Uehara couldn’t help but laugh. Obviously, he could already imagine what kind of confused expression Jiraiya show when he learned that Hanzo had died seven to eight years ago.
However, after laughing, Uehara’s expression gradually became serious. He looked at Jiraiya and said softly, “I may hide other things, but I will not hide anything about the Akatsuki organization from twenty years ago.”
Uehara waved his hand, signaling the frightened Ame Ninja to leave. He then continued softly, “After all, the reason why Akatsuki organization was born twenty years ago was also because of Jiraiya-sama!”
“What?”
“It’s a pity.”
A bitter smile appeared on Uehara’s face. He shook his head and said, “Because a Konoha Ninja teaches three students, an organization named Akatsuki was born. Because of another Konoha Ninja, this Akatsuki becomes a dark organization.”
Jiraiya looked at Uehara, and his expression gradually became more and more complicated thinking of his three students Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.
Just when Uehara thought that Jiraiya would continue to ask him according to the routine, Jiraiya slowly shook his head and said, “Little brat, although I don’t know what you will say, I know that you are not trustworthy at all!”
“…”
Uehara fell into silence.
Why did Jiraiya refuse to play according to the rules?
Wasn’t it just hiding the fact that Hanzo had died?
Was his reputation really directly reduced to such a low level?
Uehara looked at Jiraiya speechlessly and sighed faintly, “If my words are not trustworthy, will you believe Konan-sensei’s words?”
He suddenly heard a familiar name.
Jiraiya’s expression changed. He also noticed the way Uehara addressed Konan. He could not help but whisper, “Konan… is your Sensei?”
The next moment, Jiraiya whispered, “Is Konan the so-called Lady Angel of Amegakure?”
“That’s right.”
Uehara nodded and chuckled, “It seems that Jiraiya-sama doesn’t know much!”
Jiraiya looked at Uehara’s smile and couldn’t help but say, “Who knows if what you said is true or not! Konan is the most gentle person among my student. How could she teach you to do this…”
“Naraku is right.”
A cold female voice appeared in this empty area.
White paper drifted down from the sky and floated in the air, gradually forming the appearance of a person. It was Konan.
Konan looked at Jiraiya with a complicated expression. She let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, “Long time no see, Jiraiya-sensei.”
