Chapter 425 It's my turn, Old Purple, to make my appearance!
"this……"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked embarrassed.
He didn't expect that Jiraiya would see through his little scheme so quickly, nor did he expect that Jiraiya would be so disrespectful to him.
No one wanted to pretend to be confused.
"Jiraiya, I can't let Lake Biwa down..."
"That's not what you said when you were peeping into the women's bathhouse with the crystal ball."
Jiraiya interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi's sophistry with a look of disdain.
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became even more awkward as he frantically racked his brains for a way to continue making excuses.
He actually came up with an idea.
"Jiraiya, we need to stop Madara Uchiha's plot without alerting him. We need to break them up with a legitimate reason."
So, what's the reason for separating the living and the dead, or the dead and the living?
One was alive, the other was dead; they were not on the same path at all.
Madara Uchiha only wanted emotional connection, but Granny Chiyo couldn't do that!
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, fifty is rare earth, sixty is like a myriad of celestial pulls, and seventy is like a celestial explosion...
Didn't Granny Chiyo have a rumored relationship with Kakashi a while ago, saying that she wanted Kakashi to give her back a son?
We'll use that as a reason to stop Madara!
With a righteous and indignant expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a slight sigh of relief after saying all this, marveling at his own quick wit in coming up with such a good reason on the spot.
Then he added, "Since we are here to stop Madara and Chiyo from having a love affair that transcends life and death, we must set an example. As someone who is already dead, I naturally cannot try to seduce Chiyo."
"Besides, Jiraiya, you should also know that the Impure World Reincarnation is no big deal now. I also want Orochimaru, that traitor, to be resurrected from Lake Biwa so he can enjoy life."
By the way, let me explain the proper pairing rules and set an example: living people should be with living people, and dead people should only be with dead people.
I can't betray Lake Biwa at this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi reasoned with him with both emotion and logic, and Jiraiya was unable to refute him for a moment.
But he was unwilling to let Jiraiya give up like that.
Why should he be the only one to try and seduce an old woman?
"Old man, how about this, we'll take turns operating in the open and in the dark."
You are in the shadows, impersonating Danzo who was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.
"I might be constrained in doing things openly, which is when you can step in and use some unconventional methods."
Jiraiya made a suggestion.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Not many people know about Danzo's death, and nobody knows that he didn't actually leave behind any cells. Impersonating him isn't a problem, but..."
"Old man, if you keep making excuses, believe me, I'll just commit suicide and then have Orochimaru resurrected using Edo Tensei. At worst, I'll become a dead man too, and then we'll see who goes first!"
Jiraiya's face was full of dissatisfaction.
He had already conceded so much, yet the third generation still wanted to refuse.
"All right."
Reluctantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to agree.
On second thought, since it's all in Danzo's image anyway, as long as I'm careful not to be discovered as myself, it's Danzo's reputation that's being ruined.
Does Danzo have a reputation?
Therefore, it is not a problem.
After agreeing, Hiruzen Sarutobi used a transformation technique to transform into Danzo's appearance.
As one of the duo "Danzo's Shadow, You'll Regret It," the Third Hokage perfectly captured Danzo's expression and posture.
"Alright! Old man, let's go! Hehe, let's go show Granny Chiyo what the 'Root of Darkness' really is."
As Jiraiya spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze.
The way he's talking makes it seem like he's the one who's "dark" and pioneering.
But I can't worry about that now, I have to leave quickly, otherwise something might go wrong.
Hiruzen Sarutobi created another shadow clone to inform the Second Hokage.
Immediately afterwards, the two found the Flying Thunder Formation group of four and headed to Sunagakure.
Fengying Building.
"Where is Granny Chiyo?"
Jiraiya found Gaara alone and asked about Chiyo's location.
Then he turned and left.
The Third Hokage, disguised as Danzo, followed Jiraiya from the shadows outside.
at the same time.
Hidden Rock Village.
An enraged Old Zi came knocking on the door.
Old Purple is a passionate person with a fiery temper, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the village after arguing with Onoki.
So after learning that her image had been so tarnished, she immediately went to confront him.
Hei Tu immediately shifted the blame, claiming he was unaware of the situation.
She also indicated that she is now the Tsuchikage, not her grandfather, Onoki.
If Roshi chooses to return to Iwagakure, she can give Roshi a status and position.
It can also help Lao Zi get revenge on Ōnoki.
Yes, that's right.
According to Kurotsuchi, it was Onoki who sold the image of Old Purple to unscrupulous GG merchants.
Old Purple was surprised and curious that Kurotsuchi, as Onoki's granddaughter, would help him.
At the same time, there are naturally some doubts.
Then Kurotsuchi told Roshi about Onoki's trip to Sunagakure to pursue Granny Chiyo and his twilight romance.
Lao Zi didn't believe it at all after hearing it.
In his mind, Onoki was not like that at all.
"Senior Zi, my grandfather is already halfway to the grave, and he has already relinquished the responsibility of the Earth Shadow. Now he wants to make up for the regrets of the past."
This is certainly not Grandpa's style of doing things, but is selling your image, Senior Zi, to GG merchants really Grandpa's style of doing things? But he still did it, didn't he?
Grandpa, in order to fill the void in his heart and make up for his regrets, has started to let himself go a bit.
"Senior Zi, let me teach you. I understand your anger right now. Your image has been ruined by Grandpa."
But from another perspective, this is actually a good thing.
Senior Zi, please don't rush, let me finish.
You've become the spokesperson for this product, and your image in the ninja world has now become that of a powerful man, so you have a natural advantage in this regard.
Didn't my grandfather regard Chiyo-baba as his white moonlight, his lifelong love?
Senior Zi, you used your mighty strength to steal my love away, causing my grandfather to lose his beloved and suffer unbearable pain!
How about this revenge?
Heitu became more and more excited as he spoke.
"..."
After being persuaded by Kurotsuchi, Old Purple's stubborn mind was finally convinced, and he prepared to head to Sunagakure.
Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi didn't forget the main purpose, and asked Old Purple to make contact with Gaara, the Kazekage, who was also a Jinchūriki.
I informed Old Purple that a mysterious person intended to seize the power of the Tailed Beasts, and now is the time for everyone to unite.
And so, Old Purple arrived at Sunagakure.
"Regarding the matter of the Jinchuriki, I'll discuss it with Lord Kazekage after I finish my business. Now, please tell me, where is Granny Chiyo?"
The Kazekage Building welcomed yet another old man, Old Murasaki, who had come to inquire about Granny Chiyo's situation.
After Gaara pointed out the location to Old Purple, he was completely dumbfounded.
