Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 348: Ero-Sennin

Jiraiya reached the battlefield and was greeted by the sight of hundreds of big cages inside which many ninjas were cramped in. Then there was Raikage, chained and kneeling in front of an old man.

He decided to observe first and not go in yet. He found a nice thick tree and hid in their leaves.

*Cough*

Jiraiya suddenly heard a cough from behind.

"Weeping pom" Chomei called him out.

*BAM*

The next moment, Jiraiya only saw a furry paw slapping his face so hard he lost consciousness.

"It is a peeping tom, Chomei." Hats corrected him. They then brought Jiraiya to Alexander.

"G-Chan, we found him being sneaky. I think he's a pervert." Chomei commented.

"Haha, don't be judgemental now, Chomei-chan. So, who is this guy?" He questioned.

"That is the legendary sennin, Lord Jiraiya." Itachi jumped close to him and answered.

"Haha, I remember now, they lost a three vs one battle with Hanzo and got this name. It is probably irritating to them being called 'Legendary Sennin'." Alexander sympathized.

"Hehe, big melons..." Jiraiya suddenly started making a very inappropriate face and made gestures like he was squeezing something with his hands.

"Yeah, he's a pervert. Chomei, never let me doubt your character judgment." He disgustedly said.

"Yeah, he's famous for peeking into women's bathhouses in Konoha," Shisui added.

Alexander looked back at the man and lightly slapped his face.

*SLAP*

"Wake up, Ero-Sennin,"

"Ummm... yes, once more. I like this..." Jiraiya muttered in sleep.

~Is he taking pleasure in my beating?~ Alexander asked himself and this time gave a hard slap.

*BAM*

Jiraiya woke up in shock. "WHAT?! WHERE AM I, MY MELONS?"

"You were peeping from that tree and got caught." Alexander simply answered.

Jiraiya scratched his head, "Ah, I nearly forgot you had tailed beasts with you. They must have sensed me." Jiraiya loudly thought.

"Hah, even I sensed you from a hundred miles away when you were with two more ninjas, one of whom was most likely Sakumo Hatake." Alexander blurted.

Jiraiya's mouth fell wide open, "How did you sense me so far away? And who are you that can use so much Natural energy?"

"I am Alexander Maxim Universe, also known as Sage of Beasts." He introduced himself.

"So you really are the ancient sage. Well, I had my doubts. I was attracted by your explosion of Natural energy. I had not felt such potent natural energy even in Mount Myoboku." Jiraiya excitedly exclaimed.

"Hmm, well, now you know what it was about. You can leave if you want." He shrugged and focused back on Raikage.

"So, Raikage, let's go to Kumo then. But remember, if you try to act smart..." He warned him again with an explosion of natural energy in the air.

"Ah, I felt it again. This is so good, if I can train myself in this environment I'm sure I can master Senjutsu." Jiraiya interjected.

Alexander ignored him and waited for Raikage's answer.

"I don't break promises. You can have the tailed beasts as long as you can promise to never give them to another village." Raikage requested.

"Sure, I will soon be taking the nine-tails from Konoha too. So don't worry, no one will be using them as weapons anymore. Let's go now." He gestured to him to start walking.

"WAIT!"

Jiraiya called him. Alexander looked back and asked in annoyance "What?"

"What are you going to do with these men?" Jiraiya pointed to hundreds of cages.

"Oh, they are free to go back home. But I hope they don't start fighting again, or I'll be angry."

All the ninjas in cages had lost their will to fight by now. They had even thrown away their kunai to show they had surrendered.

He waved his hand and all the cages disappeared. Soon all ten thousand ninjas also ran away.

"There, you can go back and report to Konoha. I will be making a visit there soon." He shooed Jiraiya away.

But the guy still followed him.

"What do you want now?" He asked.

"Um, I would like to learn Senjutsu from you."

Everyone went silent at that moment and looked at each other's faces.

"Wait, don't you consider me an enemy?" Alexander confusedly asked.

"Haha, why would I do that? You just stopped the war single-handedly, you also stopped Hanzo from killing Yahiko and the kids. You are taking away the tailed beasts from villages that have been topics of war for many years. I think you are a good man, just a bit misunderstood." Jiraiya spoke about his views.

"Well, sorry to break your hopes and dreams, I don't know how to use Senjutsu." He replied.

"WHAT? But you just used it." Jiraiya argued.

"That is an inherent part of my body. I naturally used the Natural energy. So, I don't even have to think about using it. I guess it is different for you." He clarified.

"B-but... it took me so much time and hard work to learn on Mount Myoboku." Jiraiya sounded like he didn't believe it.

After thinking, Alexander put forward a condition. "Hmmm, I can maybe give a few tips if you can take me to Mount Myoboku. I need to talk with the old toad sage."

Jiraiya instantly jumped at the opportunity. "Sure, it's very easy. I just need to reverse summon myself to that place. Are we going to go now?"

"No, first we go and get Matatabi and Gyuki."

After that, his entourage went to Kumogakure. Their arrival gained the attention of the whole village which was already on high alert. The forces had just returned to the village.

Most considered that the third Raikage was already dead and the elders were considering making third's son of Raikage the Fourth Raikage. But then the third Raikage returned.

But, that wasn't all. He ordered Killer Bee and Yugito Nii to come to his office as the first order.

"My pops is back from dead yoo..." Bee entered the Raikage's office.

"Raikage-sama, what can I do for you?" Yugito Nii asked with a bow.

Raikage took his seat and smoked his pipe, "Bee, Yugito. I am proud of you two. You two were able to control your powers to such an extent.

"But, you don't have to do that anymore. I am sending the tailed beasts to where they came from in the first place."

"My pops has gone senile yo, say something to him, my bro..." Bee rapped, looking at his elder brother.

A(All Raikage till 4th were named 'A') looked at his father, "Father, do you mean to say you are going to return the tailed beasts to Konoha?"

Before Raikage could refute, A received angry growls from the right side of the room where he hadn't looked at yet.

He saw many small animals sitting there with teacups in their small hands and growling at him.

"No, my son. The tailed beasts do not belong to any village or person. They belong to nature, as free beings. Just as we are. If you have any problem with this, you can go and talk with Sage of Beasts. I'm sure he can teach you a few lessons." Raikage smirked.

Soon, A was seen beaten with a swollen face.

"My bro got his ass whooped by an elderly y..." Before Bee could finish he received an angry glare from his injured brother.

"Now, thank you for keeping Matatabi and Gyuki safe till now. I will be taking them with me to their new homes now." He announced and walked towards Bee and Yugito.

He quickly took out the tailed beast from Bee and Yugito's bodies while also supplying chakra to their body so they don't die.

Within a few seconds, the two new little beasts were seen hugging Alexander.

"G-CHAN, I won't lie, I really felt like you had returned and would be coming to get me soon." Gyuki(eight-tails) said. He was mostly a smart and serious tailed beast but he was just like the others when with Alexander.

"Oh really, what about you, Matatabi-chan," He asked. Unlike most other tailed beasts, Matatabi had a feminine personality and was considered a female. She was respectful and polite towards others and talked in a formal tone, with Alexander as an exception.

"Dear G-Chan, I missed you very much. Gyuki said he sensed a strong presence of you but I was skeptical. I am happy that you've returned." Matatabi respectfully said and hugged him and also lightly purred as Alexander scratched her head. She had a lot of features based on a cat.

"Haha, thank you for being a good girl all this time. Let's go now. I have gathered all your siblings. Only Kurama-chan is left." Alexander said.

Gyuki quickly scoffed, "Ah, that egoistical and narcissistic fox. But I can't ignore him either, he's my brother after all. A family is a family, and it is strongest when together. I haven't forgotten your words G-Chan."

"Haha, good. Now, Jiraiya, take us to Mount Myoboku." He instructed the Ero-Sennin.

"Ah, yes, finally. Let's go."

In front of the shocked eyes of everyone in the room, they all left. Alexander had gotten very good at extracting the tailed beast now so Bee and Yugito were still fine and not unconscious.

"Who was that man, pops? How did he do that?" Bee asked.

*Sigh*

"I told you before, he is the sage of the beasts. The world will be changing soon. I'm too old for this. A, I will train you every day from now on. Get ready." Raikage sternly announced.

...

Alexander and his big group popped onto Mount Myoboku.

Alexander looked around and felt the air was a lot better than normal land.

Then he saw a giant toad hopping towards them.

~Ah, I hope they aren't poisonous.~ He thought internally.
