I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

How could he not understand what Deidara meant? This was because morale had collapsed!

He initially thought that Shinji's condition was a bit excessive, and that Nagato was unlikely to agree to it.

But now he has to get Nagato to agree!

Otherwise Deidara would have run away!

They might even bring scorpions along!

This is a huge loss.

More importantly, if these two defect from Akatsuki and join the Jashin Cult, he won't be able to clean house!

What a mess!

Compared to this, the problem with the three tails is actually much simpler.

He didn't believe that when things came to a head, Shinji would break up with him over a trivial little turtle.

"Let's go, Afei. What are you thinking about? I've called you several times."

"Oh, he's here. I was wondering if that guy would have to call Sasuke 'senpai' if he joined?"

Thankfully Sasuke was unconscious, otherwise he probably would have been wearing a kingly smile.

---Aside---

P.S.: I tried on a suit today, and after a whole day of that, I'm really exhausted. I'll just post two chapters for now.

[Chapter 400 Smuggling]

On a sunny afternoon, the summer sunlight flowed brilliantly like musical notes, soaking away different kinds of sorrow.

"found it!"

Deidara shouted, and a group of white fish lifted a slightly damaged humanoid puppet from the lake.

Without Deidara needing to do anything, the [Regeneration Core] in his hand immediately emitted chakra threads and burrowed into his body.

Although some parts were damaged, Sasori still couldn't abandon this body, which is why Deidara brought him here to retrieve it.

After a while, more and more red-clad puppets were retrieved and then resealed into the scroll by Scorpion.

Sasori only stopped Deidara from continuing the salvage operation after the severely damaged Third Kazekage puppet was also salvaged.

"It's so badly broken, can it still be used?"

Deidara walked over and asked curiously.

Scorpion shook his head, indicating that you didn't understand. "As long as the core of the human puppet is not destroyed, the other parts can be replaced at will."

After saying that, the Third Kazekage puppet raised its only remaining hand and used Magnet Release: Iron Sand.

Seeing this, Deidara didn't say anything more.

In any case, he had never seen such a peculiar puppet on another person.

"The responsibility for this mission's failure lies entirely with me. I will handle it when we get back."

Although Sasori didn't say it, Deidara's fearless rescue of him made it impossible for him to ignore.

"That won't do, I've already promised that guy."

Deidara wouldn't shift all the blame to Sasori. Since they were partners, they would naturally share the responsibility if the mission failed.

"The leader will not agree to those conditions," Scorpion said coldly.

"If they don't agree, so be it. I can just join the Evil God Cult. Hehe, they've offered me conditions I can't refuse to recruit me. Brother Scorpion, do you want to come along?"

Deidara had his hands behind his head, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looking very nonchalant and speaking casually.

"Nonsense! If you defect, the leader will not let you off the hook."

"I know, at worst we can just run away. Before I joined the organization, there was this guy named Orochimaru who defected and they still haven't caught him."

"Don't mention that name in front of me. If he hadn't escaped so quickly, I would have crushed that disgusting viper to death long ago."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him. By the way, Brother Scorpion, if the organization sent you to hunt me down, would you go?"

"What do you say?"

"Tch, this is boring. I knew I shouldn't have saved you; it's really disheartening."

"Then I'll trouble you to put on a sad expression. Anyone who doesn't know better will think I've turned you into a puppet too."

"Haha, you're right. Brother Scorpion, do you think if I were made into a human puppet, I'd be the strongest puppet!"

"I don't know if you're the strongest, but I do know you're definitely the most talkative puppet."

"...You're talking more today! It seems like you've lost that outer shell of Hiruko, and even your personality is different. Is it because you're not used to it?"

"Shut up, or I'll turn you into a puppet."

After about ten seconds of silence, Deidara couldn't help but speak again, "You still haven't answered my question."

"Why should I answer something that's impossible?"

"What do you mean? Didn't you say the leader would never agree to that condition?"

"idiot."

Sasori couldn't help but curse, and then remained silent no matter how Deidara questioned him.

About half an hour later, Deidara finally figured it out and started laughing wildly.

"Oh, I see. I knew it. Don't worry, I'll definitely protect you then."

"Idiot, moron!"

Sasori cursed a couple more times, but Deidara wasn't angry; he just smiled.

Finally, the laughing scorpion seemed to get a little angry and embarrassed, and almost used a poisoned steel needle to stab the bastard to death.

Just as Deidara risked his life to save Sasori, if Deidara really left Akatsuki because of this, how could Sasori possibly stay behind alone?

Since everyone is gone, the question Deidara asked is no longer relevant.

Neither of them joined Akatsuki because of the promise Pain made.

Art is the most important thing!

. . . . . . . .

A few days later, Tsunade's worries came true.

She followed the direction Jiraiya had left in and then discovered signs of a fierce battle.

More importantly, she also found the crystal pendant necklace that she had given to Jiraiya not far away.

Knowing Jiraiya as she did, she knew he would never abandon something so important.

Therefore, the situation must have been extremely critical!

problem occurs!

Tsunade's heart sank.

Splash...

At that moment, the commotion in the nearby bushes caught the attention of Tsunade and Shizune.

Then a special toad, entirely red with goggles around its neck, jumped out.

"Kousuke?"

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then called out the toad's name.

"Lady Tsunade?! It really is you? Thank you!"

Kosuke the toad jumped over excitedly.

It used to be the liaison frog between Mount Myōboku and Konoha Village. Tsunade had seen it more than once, which is why she was able to recognize it.

"What are you doing here? Where's Jiraiya? Did something happen to him?" Tsunade asked anxiously.

Gamabunta Kosuke nodded quickly. "Jiraiya was attacked by two enemies a few days ago. At the last moment, he escaped back to Mount Myōboku with a brat named Naruto. However, he was seriously injured and has been unconscious for the past few days. He keeps mentioning a necklace. Fukasaku Sage thinks this necklace is very important, so he sent me to find it."

Tsunade gripped the necklace tightly. "The item has been found; it's with me. I'm going to Mount Myōboku to check on Jiraiya."

"That's great, but wait for me. I need to go back and report to the Great Toad Immortal."

"Well, let's go."

Of course, the three great immortal lands cannot be entered casually, and although Tsunade was anxious, she could only wait for the time being.

Fortunately, not long after, Toad Kosuke returned, bringing with him a gourd toad.

Just like its name suggests, the gourd toad is shaped like a gourd, with its mouth plugged with a bottle stopper. However, it has a barrier inside its body that can hold living creatures.

This way, Tsunade and Shizune could 'sneak' across.

Otherwise, you would need to find the location of Mount Myōboku and enter through the 'entrance'.

There was nothing they could do, since neither of them were contractors of Mount Myōboku.

Without wasting any words, Tsunade immediately entered the barrier inside the gourd toad's body with Shizune.

When they came out again, they had arrived at Mount Myōboku.

"Tsunade, that's great. With you here, I feel relieved. I'll leave Jiraiya to you."

Shima was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Tsunade, he immediately took her to see the unconscious Jiraiya.

With Tsunade's medical skills, Jiraiya will surely be alright.

[Chapter 401 Woody]

Are you sure the guy you're talking about lives in a place like this?

The real man looked up at the quiet and peaceful village in front of him, and had a feeling that Mr. Di was going to suffer another setback this time.

Perhaps the other party is another traitor who wants to integrate into human society.

Shanhu chuckled, "You'll see when you meet Woody."
