Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Are they guilty?

Jiraiya's eyes instantly turned strange.

His eyes darted away, and he seemed hesitant to meet Watanabe Tetsu's gaze.

After a moment, he scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"Then how about we... reach a settlement?"

"No way! You tried to kill my Xiaoguang Society's child, attacked me, and left our top genius battered and on the verge of death."

Jiraiya glanced at Kuroda, who was still lively and fighting Orochimaru.

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Where are you covered in wounds? Where are you on the verge of death?

Before he could speak, Watanabe Tetsu added.

"The parents of those three children were just killed by Konoha ninjas, and our top genius carries the hopes of the entire organization on his shoulders."

"Do you know that our organization is scrimping and saving every day just to help him become stronger and become the next person to revive the Rain Kingdom?"

"He had a gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother who collapsed in a pool of blood, and a broken home. He could only make a living by scavenging garbage from a young age, and could only sell tea when he grew up, but he was also harassed by customers everywhere."

Watanabe Toru appeared heartbroken and spoke with great emotion.

He sighed deeply, and then said.

"He only joined our organization when he was desperate and had nowhere else to turn."

"What I witnessed was the fall of a rising star, simply because his knee...arm was scratched by that giant python."

Did this child have such a tragic past?

Seeing Watanabe Tetsu's vivid and sincere words, Jiraiya subconsciously believed his lies.

Jiraiya pursed his lips, his sympathy fully mobilized.

But the more Watanabe Tetsu talked, the more he felt he couldn't afford to take that risk.

But with a problem-solving attitude, he still asked.

"How can we solve this?"

As if he had finally received the answer he wanted, Watanabe Toru smiled and his speech became lighter.

"We need compensation."

Watanabe Toru raised a finger.

"First, you need to provide Kuroda with sixty years' worth of food as compensation for his work injury."

Jiraiya nodded; it seemed there was no problem.

After all, people were injured, so the compensation is just some food.

It's not a big deal.

"Secondly, you need to provide monetary compensation for Kuroda's injuries to facilitate his subsequent treatment and life."

That's no problem, it's just a little money.

What money could be more important than a person's future?

"No problem, I'll cover the cost of the food."

Jiraiya spoke with such sincerity that his earnestness almost brought Watanabe Tetsu to tears.

He had never met such a kind person!

"You are very understanding; you are a good person."

Watanabe Tetsu didn't hold back his praise; he had a great fondness for such a kind person who provided money and food.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

Jiraiya felt that these conditions were too simple.

Is it enough to just pay some money and give some food?

It seems this man is a truly kind and good person.

Jiraiya silently praised Watanabe Toru in his heart.

Jiraiya's gleaming gaze made Watanabe Tetsuya feel somewhat uncomfortable. He slowly took a step back and replied.

There are no other conditions at the moment.

He took out the ledger and confirmed it.

"According to the calculation, Kuroda's daily food intake is 100 catties of grain, which is 36,500 catties of grain per year, and 2,190,000 catties of grain over 60 years."

"The cost of one course of treatment for Kuroda is about ten million taels, and he has to have it twelve times a year, so that would be one hundred and twenty times in ten years, totaling two billion four hundred million taels."

"Please pay."

Watanabe Tetsu looked at Jiraiya with a big smile, waiting for him to pay.

?

Jiraiya was filled with a huge question mark at that moment.

He felt it necessary to retract a misconception about Watanabe Toru.

He even thought Watanabe Toru was kind.

Kindness my ass!

This compensation is completely unreasonable!

You, Kurota, eat the equivalent of a hundred people's food!

What other treatments are there? What treatment costs ten million taels per session! And twelve sessions a year!!!

Jiraiya's expression instantly turned serious, and he said earnestly.

"How about we just have a fight?"

Watanabe Toru sighed.

"As expected, the evil old man from Konoha Village will not agree to this reasonable request, and they even want to kill me, an innocent person."

"Where's the legitimacy? This is clearly extortion!"

Even Tsunade, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and questioned her.

However, Watanabe Tetsu ignored Tsunade, staring intently at Jiraiya before asking a question.

"How about we have a fight? If I win, you pay these amounts; if I lose, you don't need to make any compensation."

Jiraiya nodded.

From any perspective, he would not pay such an exorbitant price.

The instant Jiraiya nodded, Watanabe Tetsu swiftly activated his ninjutsu.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Watanabe Toru unleashed a torrent of chakra, causing water molecules in the air to rapidly condense into tiny droplets.

The water droplets gradually formed a giant blue-green dragon.

The water dragon opened its huge mouth, circled in the air a few times, and then rushed towards Jiraiya and the other two.

What powerful chakra!

Not only were Jiraiya and Tsunade expressing their amazement, but the three children of Nagato, who were watching from a distance, also exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Nan felt quite uncomfortable.

I recalled the rumors and gossip I had heard before.

Judging from this water dragon bullet alone, how could Watanabe's strength be only that of a Chunin?

She would believe it if someone said she was on the same level as Hanzo!

Konan recalled the words she had said to Watanabe when he told him to escape.

A feeling of shame welled up inside me.

Even though Watanabe-sama has such great strength, she told Watanabe Toru to run away earlier.

What is this? Is it disrespect for Watanabe-san?

While regretting her past actions, Minami's admiration for Watanabe grew even stronger.

Jiraiya, who was engaged in battle, felt the immense chakra and his body trembled violently as he quickly assumed a defensive stance.

Even Tsunade, standing to the side, had a solemn expression, ready to intervene at any moment.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

An earthen wall slowly rose up, blocking Jiraiya's path.

Just as the earthen wall reached its highest point, the water dragon arrived.

The water jet quickly slammed into the earthen wall, producing a piercing roar.

Isn't Hanzo strong?

Hanzo's water dragon was something that the three of them could barely withstand.

Jiraiya sensed the remaining chakra within his body and estimated the power of the water dragon.

It's now!

A thousand needles!

At the exact moment the water dragon and the earthen wall canceled each other out, streaks of silver-white hair flew towards Watanabe Toru.

The dust kicked up by the collapsing earthen wall happened to cover up the thin, long hairpins.

coming!

The instant the needle rapidly approached Watanabe Tetsu, Watanabe Tetsu moved.

Water Instantaneous Body Technique!

Watanabe Toru's body turned into a puddle of water.

Half a second later, his figure reappeared not far away.

but...

Something is wrong!

Watanabe Toru seems to have formed a hand seal!

Jiraiya quickly surveyed his surroundings until he saw a series of paper shuriken flying towards him from behind.

When!

Jiraiya didn't have time to think about any of this. He dodged many paper shuriken with a quick movement, but quite a few were still flying towards him.

Is there no way to avoid it?

Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo!

Jiraiya's hair grew rapidly and coiled up.

Until it was covered, forming an arc.

Paper shuriken struck it one by one, making a crisp sound, but they couldn't penetrate it even a fraction of an inch.

Watanabe Toru stood on high ground, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Jiraiya successfully defended against the sneak attack, but...

When he's wrapped up like a hedgehog, can he still see what the enemy is doing?

Watanabe Toru quickly formed hand seals, and a water dragon far larger than before stood in the sky.

"Be careful!"

"Tsunade said anxiously."

The dragon opened its massive jaws and lunged at Jiraiya.

Just as Jiraiya's hair was restored, the water dragon had already struck him.

not good!

By the time Jiraiya realized the problem, it was too late to dodge. He had no choice but to activate Needle Jizo again, trying to wrap himself up.

However, he had already prepared for the possibility of being severely damaged.

It's important to understand that the needle-shaped talisman is often used in emergencies and cannot be used as a regular defense mechanism.

It can block a few kunai or explosive tags, but it's very difficult to withstand powerful ninjutsu.

Jiraiya knew he was in deep trouble.

The water dragon, its momentum undiminished, surged towards Jiraiya.

At the critical moment, Tsunade made her move.

An earthen wall stood in front of the water dragon. The water dragon collided with the earthen wall, stirring up a lot of dust.

"roar!"

The water dragon opened its massive mouth, and with a sudden burst of force, the earthen wall collapsed with a deafening roar.

However, while the earthen wall couldn't stop the water dragon's attack, it bought Jiraiya a few precious seconds.

When the dust settled, Jiraiya was already panting heavily, kneeling on one knee in an open space not far away.

He dodged it.

His face was solemn. He patted the dust off his clothes and slowly got up.

Jiraiya felt that this scenario had played out once before in his previous duel with Hanzo.

The same water dragon bullet, the same water-instantaneous movement, the same powerful spinning flight.

Although Jiraiya felt that when he was at full chakra, he could fight his opponent to a 60/40 chance.

But to have this level of ability at this age...

Could this ninja in his early twenties be Hanzo's disciple?

Putting aside his previous thoughts, Jiraiya looked at Watanabe Tetsu, who was standing with his arms crossed, and quickly formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

A fireball was spewed from Jiraiya's mouth, and the surging flames quickly met Watanabe Toru's attack.

But when the flames subsided, the figure had already vanished.

Is it the Water Instantaneous Body Technique again?

A familiar and kind voice came from above.

"Your strength is not bad; the secret technique of your hair and your fire release are both very lethal."

Watanabe Tetsu stood on the mountaintop, right where Nagato and the other two had previously witnessed Hanzo's duel with the Sannin.

He continued.

"And your companions, one with good taijutsu and chakra, and the other with good combat strategy."

Watanabe Tetsu wanted to laugh just thinking about what he was going to say.

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling his coat, the hem fluttering in the air with a rustling sound.

"You are all very strong; you are geniuses of Konoha."

"I, Watanabe Tetsu, am willing to call you the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."
