Chapter 414

[“This is the nth time Naruto has cried…”]

[“Once for Gaara, once for Haku, once for Sasuke, but compared to that, this time still looks the saddest.”]

[“Do you want Jiraiya to see the moment when he becomes Hokage? Maybe he will appear after the sky curtain, so it can be realized in advance.”]

[“You said such a spoiler. I just want to share the joy with my master. How can it be compared with this situation that is open to the whole ninja world?”]

“That silly boy, I made as many embarrassments in front of him as he did.” Jiraiya smiled faintly.

Although Jiraiya didn’t care much about his own death, seeing that his disciple was so concerned about him, Jiraiya felt that he would have no regrets even if he died.

Of course, it would be best if he could not die. If he could see the day when Naruto became Hokage and changed the ninja world, then his life would be even more perfect and sublimated.

At the training ground, Naruto pursed his lips, sniffed his nose, and said with disgust: "That guy's crying is really ugly..."

"I don't think so." Kakashi said to Naruto with a smile: "I don't think any teacher would feel ashamed of a student crying for the death of his teacher."

["Jiraiya-sama always praises you, saying that you are like his grandson, and he always speaks of you with great pride." Iruka said in a gentle voice: "He always believes that you have inherited his will and has no doubt that you will become Hokage."]

【"Jiraiya-sama is always watching you, even now... If he sees you so depressed, how can he continue to praise you, so... You should be like before, be someone he can always praise, don't be depressed anymore."】

【Iruka walked up to Naruto, took the double-handled popsicle in his hand, broke it apart and handed one to Naruto: "You are recognized by Jiraiya-sama, one of the three ninjas... an excellent disciple!"】

【Taking the popsicle from Iruka's hand, Naruto smiled faintly with tears on his face. 】

【"Thank you, Mr. Iruka."】

["I understand the truth, but Naruto recovered too quickly."]

["It shows that he has grown up. He knows that crying here is useless. He still has to move forward."]

["Iruka's words have a certain effect, but the more important thing is that Naruto can figure it out himself."]

【In the Hokage's office, Tsunade handed the code photo left by Jiraiya to Shikamaru and asked him to take it to the code interpretation class for interpretation now. 】

【"Now? The people in the code interpretation class should have gone home by now, right?" Shikamaru raised an objection, and Tsunade bluntly said that this was an order and let Shikamaru take full responsibility for this matter. ]

[Looking at Tsunade getting up and preparing to leave, Shikamaru subconsciously stopped her and said, "Ah, where are you going? I came here for something else..."]

["Shikamaru...Tsunade-sama has been busy all day." Sakura interrupted, and looking at Shikamaru who was about to say something, she showed a pleading expression on her face: "Shikamaru, please..."]

[In the corridor outside the door, Tsunade, who was walking forward, suddenly leaned against the wall. In her mind, she thought of Jiraiya, his face when he was young, and the young man who was full of vigor but arrogant when they first met. 】

【"Nice to meet you. My name is Jiraiya. You can give me the love letter later. Please give me your advice!"】

【The last memory is frozen in Jiraiya's brilliant smile. Tsunade can't stop crying and gritted her teeth: "Big idiot..."】

["Hey! Jiraiya when he was a child actually looked a bit like the Fourth Hokage!"]

["It's like a combination of the Fourth Hokage and Naruto, but his shameless personality is far from them."]

["Ha, have you been so frivolous since childhood?"]

["MD, I actually feel like crying when I see this!"]

["Tsunade is the only one left among the three ninjas, huh."]

["A wonderful life, a wonderful story. Now the story is over. It depends on the newcomers in the future."]

"Ah, if I can leave with this ending, then my life will be without regrets." Jiraiya exhaled deeply and said this while ignoring Tsunade's terrifying eyes.

Ohnoki also felt deeply, and responded: "Not only you, Jiraiya, I think every ninja is looking forward to this way of exiting, and I don't know if I, the old man, will have this opportunity."

Looking at the sky that had returned to calm, Nagato retracted his gaze, looked at the Cloud Village that had appeared in his field of vision, and said to Konan beside him: "Konan, just follow the plan I just told you, this time we will take a covert action. Of course, if the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails have been avoiding us, don't be polite, just let go and act, let's start now..."

"Summoning Jutsu!"

At the same time, Kisame and Zetsu arrived at the Hidden Rock Village, Deidara and Sasori were approaching the Hidden Mist Village, Kakuzu and Hidan had sneaked into the Hidden Taki Village, and together with Obito who was dealing with the wild Three-Tails, all the Akatsuki members went out and took action against the seven tailed beasts.

There is no need to elaborate on the process. When the Kages of each village came to Konoha for a meeting, even if they had made full preparations before leaving, the defenses of each village were still easily broken through due to the intentional and obvious gap in strength.

Among them, Deidara, the art group responsible for the six-tailed beast, held back most of the Mist Ninjas alone, and Scorpion captured the six-tailed Jinchuriki Yugao in a one-on-one battle. The price was that most of Scorpion's 300 human puppets were destroyed, and even the human puppets of the third generation of Kazekage were irreparably damaged.

In Takigakure Village, under the leadership of Kakuzu, a local, the immortal duo came to the heart of the village without alarming anyone, and then directly attacked. Not only did they capture the Seven-tailed Jinchuriki Kaede alive, Kakuzu also massacred the village's high-level officials again. Who let Tianmu remind him of the elders who issued him outrageous tasks in the past? The elders deserved it.

Obito finally caught the Three-Tails after a fight, and the battlefield on the Cloud Village side was even worse. It was only because the Eight-Tails Killer Bee was smart enough to use the Octopus Leg Clone Technique when the situation was not good, hiding it from Pein's eyes and escaping.
