It must have been some bad luck that I happened to run into.
As someone suited for Sage Mode training, Jiraiya's chakra reserves, while not as high as those of the Uzumaki clan, were still quite strong.
Therefore, Jiraiya used Shadow Clone Jutsu for this infiltration and reconnaissance mission.
He divided his chakra evenly, giving it the power of a genin from Amegakure. Then, using the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique, he revealed the controlled individual to the light of day.
In this way, as long as there is no high-intensity confrontation, the next two to three days will be the best opportunity to gather intelligence.
As for some general information about Amegakure, I already knew a rough idea thanks to the green guy next to me during the mission.
"Feimo Bridge is just ahead. We've finally made it back to the village, how about we go grab a drink?"
Jiraiya agreed with this, since more information was only revealed after drinking...
"I don't really care, but didn't you send a message saying you were coming back? Going drinking like this... won't you get scolded when you get back?"
The guy in front of me smiled smugly: "Why don't you just say it's an emergency mission? Besides, Tsuna should be at work right now."
Jiraiya smiled and nodded: "Then there's no problem. Drinking is part of the mission... Let's go, we need to go ahead and see if there's a place to drink."
This remark prompted his companion to laugh, "How could there possibly be a place to drink here, being the lowest level? Are you already drunk before you've even had a sip?"
Jiraiya paused for a moment, then quickly laughed and said, "The time spent on the mission outside the village has been too long. As soon as I heard Meng mention drinking, I couldn't hold back my stomach."
The two chatted and laughed as they went upstairs.
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he chose this guy was naturally due to the guy's carefree personality.
After nearly six months of observation and confirmation of the target, it turned out that the choice was correct.
If it were a slightly more vigilant guy, he would probably have been exposed seven or eight times already.
……
In an izakaya.
Warm sake and side dishes were served, and the two began to eat and drink.
Looking at the wine in front of him, Jiraiya also wanted to down a glass.
It's been a long time since I've tasted alcohol since I used the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique to control the guy in front of me.
The fundamental reason is that the original owner of this body had a very low alcohol tolerance and could only take a small sip each time.
After taking a sip of his wine and suppressing his impulse, Jiraiya brought up the first topic: "I heard that half a year ago, Lord Pain made it rain for a very long time. It's only been like that in recent years that it's been so frequent. I wonder what happened."
These words made his companion pause, and then he replied, "They're probably remnants of those guys from before. These guys have been appearing more frequently in the last two years, but they're always wiped out by the angel."
Angel?
The appearance of the new character caused Jiraiya's gaze to narrow slightly.
Then, without any haste, she said, "The angel is indeed very powerful... those remnants of Hanzo were easily wiped out... sob sob?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiraiya's mouth was covered.
The other person nervously glanced around and whispered angrily, "You've become a genin and you're still so outspoken! That name is taboo in the village! Lord Pain is very lenient with us, but that's only on the condition that..."
Jiraiya suppressed the urge to beat the guy in front of him until the other person let go, and only then did he relax.
I almost thought I'd been exposed.
If I hadn't known from our previous interactions that this guy was extremely unreliable, I would have punched him directly.
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around nervously as well: "Luckily, there aren't many people drinking at this hour. But I really don't know why, even though Lord Pain won, he's still so concerned."
The man opposite sighed: "Although no one has ever seen Lord Payne, rumors say that he is a truly ruthless person."
"After that so-called demigod was killed by Payne, his wife, children... and everyone related to him were killed. Even the mansion he once lived in was burned to the ground."
Jiraiya also breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly calming his inner fear.
But in fact, he was not calm at that moment.
Hanzo's killing was expected, but the massacre of his family and the burning of their residence were something no one had anticipated.
In this situation, the guy named Payne must have a very deep hatred for Hanzo.
Who is it?
Who could possibly hate Hanzo, who is revered as a god by the Land of Rain?
And this angel...
Is he a messenger of the gods?
Just from this title, one can imagine how arrogant Payne was.
Do they claim to be gods, acting as messengers wielding power to walk among humans and carry out the will of the gods?
At this moment, the curtain was lifted.
The izakaya owner came in carrying a dish: "My two ninja masters, your side dishes and drinks are ready."
He put down his plate, stood up, and leaned closer to say, "Sir Ninja, our shop is currently running a private room promotion! And we just got a few beautiful ladies with us the day before yesterday, so the promotional price is 50% off!"
These words made Jiraiya's eyes light up instantly.
Meng, standing to the side, hesitated. Although this mission outside the village could earn them a small amount of money, it all had to be handed over to the authorities.
When the person in your family gets angry, they're not someone to mess with.
"Snapped."
Jiraiya put his hand on Meng's shoulder: "You, are you afraid of Tsunade? Let me tell you, if I get married in the future, I will definitely be different from you."
"What kind of situation is it for a man to be afraid of women? You know, back then..."
Meng glanced at Jiraiya: "Do you think I don't know what's going on with you? Stop bragging, you've been single for decades, are you getting excited?"
He then said to the owner, "Then let's have a private room. Let your best one come in."
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes slightly.
Become!
Men, when stimulated by alcohol and beautiful women, will unconsciously reveal information.
……
"Two ninja masters..."
The door to the private room had just been pushed open when the room, which had just been switched to, fell into a deathly silence.
Jiraiya, who had originally planned to enjoy himself while gathering information, found his eye twitching involuntarily.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
Now I guess I'll have to go back to being a lone wolf, without even someone to hide my identity.
"asshole!"
With a roar, one of the two women at the door, a round-faced woman with an explosive figure, almost had a burning rage in her eyes.
"Shh!"
A bottle of sake, which was provided as part of the private room service, was thrown at Meng, who didn't dare to dodge and was hit directly in the forehead.
"boom."
The bottle smashed, causing blood to seep from Meng's forehead.
"You said you had an urgent mission! An urgent mission is to send you to this place to drink? You bastard! Do you want to die?"
With his sleeves rolled up, Tezuka rushed over angrily.
Jiraiya, worried about harming innocent people, quickly stepped aside.
However, he was still a decent friend, and before disappearing, he made an excuse to remind her: "Tsuna, what are you doing here?"
These words instantly awakened Meng.
Yup!
Why is Tsuna here?
How come the beautiful woman I ordered was Tsuna? Isn't that a rip-off?
"Snapped."
As the slap landed, Jiraiya's brow twitched, and he saw a handprint instantly appear on his companion's face.
But the next moment.
Meng, who had been meek and submissive because she felt she was in the wrong, suddenly stood up: "You bastard! What are you doing here again?"
Tsuna exclaimed angrily, "I was just having drinks with some guests, what am I doing here?! And you dare to yell at me? You bastard!"
……
Seeing that a chaotic scene was about to unfold, Jiraiya quickly slipped away.
The only thing I could do for this good Samaritan before leaving was to settle the bill for this trip.
Otherwise, if we still have to pay in the end under these circumstances, we might have to fight again when we get back.
……
Amegakure Village, located on the upper level of the commercial street.
Jiraiya looked around helplessly. The good person he had found over the past six months had been killed by Tsuna.
Now I can only rely on myself...
Moreover, there are only three days left until Sunday, and it is still unclear whether the rain-based detection technique can detect the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique.
Jiraiya's gaze fell on the entrance of a shop, where an origami angel was hanging.
He frowned; this thing looked familiar.
Rinnegan, Nagato, and Konan, who uses origami as her attack method.
The Amegakure village before us already has too many places that overlap with those three disciples from before.
Was the Rinnegan taken away for research, and Konan's secret techniques also used as a form of value?
Clench your fists tightly.
