Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

The three of them traveled through the Land of Rain without any obstacles.

After breaking through the Rain Country's defenses, almost no one paid attention to their existence; to outsiders, the three were just passersby.

Of course, this is on the premise of not getting involved in any troublesome events.

If you encounter a Rainbow, you should actively avoid it.

However, the Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) that operates within the Land of Rain usually interacts with local forces, not because of any war breaking out there.

At their current pace, they should be able to leave the Land of Rain and enter the Land of Grass in about a day.

However, before leaving the Land of Rain, while passing a lake, the three were drawn to a sudden commotion on the distant lake surface.

It appears there is a fight going on.

The fluctuations in chakra were so strong that even Sasori and Yubi could clearly sense them.

"Um?"

"There's a fight going on..."

The three people had different expressions.

Arai, on the other hand, was particularly serious.

Because the energy intensity of this chakra... is not something an ordinary ninja can unleash.

Even without witnessing it firsthand, one can imagine how astonishing the form and power of its escape technique must be.

A moment later, they appeared in the jungle on the shore, gazing at the lake surface where billowing white steam rose.

It was because of the water vapor evaporating at high temperatures... there weren't as many people as I imagined; the only ones who fought were... only two.

On the left is a man with long white hair, wearing wooden clogs, dressed in a peculiar way... while in the lake opposite him stands a girl with a graceful figure and a very determined look in her eyes.

He looks to be about the same age as Yubi and Scorpion.

"Fire Release, huh..."

Arai stared at the signs of fighting on the lake and speculated.

At this moment, it was still raining. Since they entered the Land of Rain, they had hardly seen a clear sky... Even without rain, the sky was always gloomy.

With such a large area of ​​water vapor, one can imagine how powerful a fire jutsu would have to be to create this phenomenon.

However, all three could tell that the man and the girl were not actually fighting, but merely sparring.

To put it more bluntly, it is the man who guides the other through practical experience.

It was similar to when Arai gave Yubi some pointers.

But the scene was much bigger.

At this moment, the girl was panting heavily as she stepped through the water, preparing to launch a new attack on the white-haired man. As she charged toward her opponent, her hands began to form hand seals, and pieces of origami spun around her like hidden weapons, shooting one after another toward him.

However, it did not hit the target.

Her unique ninjutsu technique is quite intriguing.

Just as Sasori and Arai were still spying, Yubi's expression suddenly changed.

When he saw the white-haired man's back, a strange sense of familiarity arose in his heart. In the entire Naruto world, there was only one person with such an image and attire... It was too distinctive!

Furthermore, the girl in the lake possesses a unique ninjutsu technique that manipulates paper...

This allowed Yubi to recognize the two of them at first glance.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

And Konan, a future elder of the Akatsuki organization!

"It's them!"

Yubi's breath hitched.

Although traveling within the Land of Rain, one rarely encounters trouble.

However, to avoid certain situations, Arai chose a relatively secluded and remote route... away from the city or the main road.

But to everyone's surprise, they unexpectedly bumped into these two characters from the story.

"Judging from the power of her ninjutsu and the speed of her hand seals... her current level is not high, she must have just trained with Jiraiya for a short time."

"It should be the second year... By the 42nd year of Hokage next year, the three of them will have officially finished their three-year training and study with Jiraiya."

Yubi subconsciously recalled the plot.

"That back view... seems familiar."

Shin-i, standing on the tree trunk, frowned.

It was as if they were pondering the other person's identity.

Jiraiya's image is just too striking... In addition, Sunagakure and Konoha are old enemies with deep-seated grudges, and to a certain extent, they are very familiar with the main figures in each other's villages, not to mention the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha" who became famous because of this Shinobi World War.

Putting aside the 'titles' they received from Hanzo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru... any one of these three, just considering their achievements in this Fourth Shinobi World War, would be incredibly dazzling.

Arai didn't think of it at first because... he didn't expect Jiraiya to be in the Land of Rain.

"Jiraiya".

Scorpion, who was standing nearby, said something.

At this moment, Scorpion's eyes began to change... and he even released a murderous intent.

His hatred for Konoha... it's not just a little bit.

Before Sasori could reveal the other party's identity, on the lake, Jiraiya, having dodged Konan's ninjutsu attack, had already put away his fighting stance, standing motionless in the water, slightly turning his head, and glancing out of the corner of his eye at the location where the three were hiding on the shore.

Clearly, he had noticed the three approaching early on.

Upon hearing the name Jiraiya, Yubin could clearly sense Arai's entire body tense up instantly.

Even their breathing slowed down.

With a whoosh.

Without any hesitation, he acted like a cat with its fur standing on end, instinctively grabbing Yubi and Scorpion with both hands and making a swift escape.

It was as if he had used every ounce of his strength.

That's right... just the name alone was enough to scare Arai away.

He had no choice but to run... Although Sunagakure and Konoha have now reached a large-scale ceasefire and extinguished the flames of war, they are still enemies. Jiraiya might still attack them, even if he doesn't realize they are from Sunagakure... This kind of monster, famous throughout the ninja world, is not someone to be trifled with.

Arai understands this very well.

No guy who can achieve this on the battlefield is simple.

Besides, he had the "future" of two villages with him... He dared not take the risk.

Even if it's just being scared off by a single glance from the other party, leaving you feeling a bit embarrassed.

swish swish swish...

Arai, carrying Yubi and Sasori, moved incredibly fast, frantically darting through the forest without even turning his head. Even after creating some distance, he showed no intention of putting the two brats down, and his speed did not slow down at all.

...

"teacher…"

On the other side, on the lake, Konan-kan Jiraiya suddenly stopped, as if he had noticed something, and hesitantly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Three people... is it Amegakure...?"

Jiraiya thought to himself.

If he is discovered by Yu Yin, it will still cause him some trouble.

The main concern is that it might involve Xiao Nan and the other two.

Fortunately, this was not their hiding place, nor their "home"... it was just a training ground.

Hearing Konan's voice, Jiraiya's serious expression vanished, and he immediately scratched his head and burst into laughter, "It's nothing... hahaha, I was just spacing out. I was thinking about what we're having for dinner tonight..."

"..."

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, wisely refraining from questioning.

She felt that Jiraiya-sensei... was sometimes incomprehensible and quite strange.

But that didn't stop her from liking the teacher...she was very kind.

They are her family.

Jiraiya: "Let's continue..."

"Um."

Xiao Nan.

……

Arai ran for nearly fifteen minutes before finally putting Sasori and Yubi down, making sure Jiraiya hadn't caught up.

"Let's go, let's take another route."

Arai swallowed hard.

He was clearly still a little scared.

Jiraiya had already noticed them, but he didn't make a move.

Fortunately.

"How did he end up in the Land of Rain?"

The three continued their journey, when Scorpion suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Despite his hatred for Konoha, Sasori understood that the three of them alone were no match for Jiraiya.

"I don't know... Of the current Sannin of Konoha, apart from Orochimaru, he and Tsunade have withdrawn from the main battlefield and rarely appear."

Arai was also a little puzzled. "And... who is that girl? Judging from her appearance, she seems to be Jiraiya's disciple... she should be from the Land of Rain, not Konoha."

"This information needs to be relayed back to the village. Even if we can't use it, it would be enough to let Iwagakure or Kumogakure know about it, or even just let Hanzo know about it."

Despite the infighting among the major ninja villages, there is an underlying tacit understanding: none of them want Konoha to prosper.

"The butterfly effect... caused Sasori and Minami to meet ahead of schedule."

Yubi, however, was thinking about something else.

He muttered to himself.

Sasori's entry into the Akatsuki organization was initiated by Konan's invitation...
