After the reverse summoning technique was dispelled, Jiraiya, once he was clear-headed, immediately surveyed his surroundings.
Upon seeing the familiar tents, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Their own tents are still there, at least their headquarters are still there.
As long as the camp wasn't lost! Minato, that kid, is really reliable!
Jiraiya thought to himself, and hurriedly got up and left the tent.
Pushing open the door, everything seemed much the same as before I left... No, the density of people seemed to be lower, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than when I was there.
"Minato is good at fighting on his own, but when it comes to leading troops, he still has a lot to learn from me." Jiraiya thought to himself as he walked toward the nearest ninja.
"Hey!"
"Where is the water gate? The command post?"
The summoned ninja turned around, and upon seeing Jiraiya's face, he was first startled, then his face lit up with joy.
"Lord Jiraiya! You're back!"
“That’s right.” Jiraiya tried to make himself look serious. “I feel like the atmosphere in the camp is a bit off.”
Where is the water gate?
The ninja hurriedly said, "Lord Jiraiya, Lord Minato has been transferred."
Jiraiya frowned: 'They were transferred?'
"Is the war over?"
The ninja replied, "No. However... there haven't been any battles lately."
"After you left, the Hokage sent Jonin Nebula to provide support. Later, some things happened, and now Jonin Minato has been transferred away, and Jonin Nebula is in charge of the camp."
Jiraiya frowned even more deeply.
"Nebula Jonin?"
Is that the Shin-Moon Nebula I know?
"Tell me the details of what happened."
The ninja naturally did not disobey and recounted to Jiraiya everything that had happened since Shingetsu Seiun came to provide support.
He recounted everything from his battles against Killer Bee and A to his later assassination by Onoki and the intervention of the Third Hokage. Although the account was somewhat verbose, Jiraiya understood it.
"That guy, Shenyue Xingyun... has improved so quickly?"
I remember the last time we met, he was just supported by Chiyo, Yekura and others. Now he's actually fighting against Ai and Killer Bee?
If the news is true, the other party is indeed progressing too fast.
After thinking it over, Jiraiya decided to find a more reliable person to understand the situation first.
A figure instantly flashed into Jiraiya's mind, and his heart warmed. He then looked excitedly at the ninja beside him.
"The Hidden Sun Jonin is still around, right? Where is she now?"
The ninja replied, "At this time, the enemy should be at headquarters."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya told the ninjas to go about their business and headed towards the main tent.
All along the way, they were the focus of the attention and the delight of the ninjas.
Jiraiya gave a perfunctory response.
He had no time to pay attention to the other people around him. Thinking of the beautiful and charming figure he was about to see, he couldn't help but laugh out in a ridiculous and perverted way.
"Hehe, Jonin Yuhi, it's been a long time."
"I wonder if she's missed me."
As he approached the entrance to the main tent, Jiraiya quickly suppressed his lewd smile.
He knew that Uzuki Yuhi hated this look on him the most. The last time they met, the other man had even threatened him because of it: 'Commander Jiraiya, if you smile at me like that again, I'll tell Minato-sama I'm quitting!'
His tone was very stern and resolute.
However, since I haven't been here for so long, the other party's anger must have subsided by now. After all, I am the dignified Sannin, the Toad Sage Jiraiya.
Suppressing his excitement, Jiraiya walked to the entrance of the main tent, but just as he was about to go in, he suddenly stopped.
Then a look of suspicion appeared on his face.
There seemed to be fluctuations of chakra inside the tent.
Is it a barrier?
As one of the legendary Sannin, and one of the few men in the ninja world who has mastered Sage Mode, he is quite sensitive to chakra.
Others couldn't detect it, but he sensed the barrier's aura when he was just a few meters away from the large tent. Although it was stable and faint... it was definitely there.
'Could they be discussing something very important inside?' Jiraiya couldn't help but wonder.
But Minato isn't here, and neither am I. What important matter requires setting up a barrier in the main tent?
Are they plotting a rebellion?
Shaking off the absurd thoughts in his mind, Jiraiya thought for a moment and continued forward.
He was the commander-in-chief of the northern front, and had the right to know anything and the right to enter any part of the camp—except for the female ninja's private tent.
Jiraiya strode forward and burst through the door.
Chapter 228 Barrier, Barrier!
Almost the instant he pushed open the door, the energy fluctuations of the barrier suddenly disappeared.
What came into Jiraiya's view was a man and a woman.
The woman was familiar to him; she was the woman he coveted, Maoyue Xiyang. The man was also no stranger to him; he was Shenyue Xingyun, who had once gifted him the book "Intimate Paradise" on the Northwest Front.
At this moment, both of them were looking at the sand table in the center. Shingetsu Seiun rested her hands on the edge of the sand table, her expression solemn and thoughtful, while Uzuki Yuhi turned to the side, holding a baton and pointing at the sand table, as if she were telling the other something.
Jiraiya looked suspicious.
That's it?
Is it necessary to activate a barrier spell when explaining the sand table?
He sensed it clearly; the barrier vanished the instant he pushed open the door. It couldn't possibly be a misperception on his part.
"What are you doing?" Jiraiya asked.
The two people who were intently observing the sand table seemed to suddenly realize that the newcomer was not an ordinary ninja. They looked up and immediately showed expressions of surprise.
"Lord Jiraiya, it's you?" Shinzuki Seiun's face lit up with surprise. "You're finally back!"
“When you’re not around, I feel uneasy every day.”
Uzuki Yuhi, standing to the side, glanced at him. Because she had argued with Jiraiya, she didn't need to show the same surprise as Shinzuki Seiun. Instead, she nodded calmly and said, "Lord Jiraiya, you're finally back."
"Yes, I'm back." Jiraiya nodded in response.
He walked slowly to the sand table and asked, "What are you talking about?"
This time, it was Uzuki Yuhi who answered first: "Originally, the Hoshino Jonin was a ninja stationed in the camp. I explained to him the characteristics of the area around the camp and the places that needed attention."
"Now that Jiraiya-sama is back, I don't need to say anything more."
Jiraiya: "Tell me about it, I'd like to hear it too."
Uzuki Yuhi revealed a "seeing right through you" gaze and smiled with a slightly distant tone: "You are a senior in intelligence, so I won't show off my limited knowledge in front of you."
With that, he left the sand table, saying, "I'll take my leave now."
By the time Jiraiya realized what was happening, Uzuki Yuhi had already reached the front door. He reached out to call out to her, but ultimately didn't, only muttering under his breath, "He hasn't put down the baton yet."
Turning back to look at Shenyue Xingyun, he gave an awkward laugh: "This woman... has a rather eccentric temper, please don't mind her."
Shenyue Xingyun grinned, feigning a smile.
He knew why Maoyue Xiyang had forgotten to put down his baton—or rather, it wasn't that he forgot, but that he did it on purpose—one end of the baton was still wet and couldn't be left there.
Shingetsu Seiun: "Lord Jiraiya, have you finished your business?"
“Yes, I’m done.” Jiraiya looked at Shingetsu Seiun and smiled with a slightly complicated expression. “I heard about it on the way here.”
"You're now an elite Jonin promoted by the old man, not bad, not bad!"
"Being able to fight both Ai and Killer Bee alone means you're stronger than before."
Shingetsu Nebula: "It is the Will of Fire."
"It was this that warmed my youth, which is why I am who I am today."
Jiraiya didn't know how to respond to that, so he just gave a dry laugh.
Suddenly, he frowned and sniffed.
Can you smell it?
"There seems to be a certain smell?"
"Is there?" Shenyue Xingyun feigned ignorance. "What smell?"
Jiraiya sniffed again: "I can't quite put my finger on it... It smells like fish, but it also smells like sweet."
Shingetsu Seiun was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized: "It seems that the goldfish belonging to the Sunset Jonin died this morning, and she just threw it away not long ago."
"I guess they'll break up soon."
Jiraiya was puzzled: "Goldfish? Did they die?"
Shenyue Xingyun revealed a certain expression: "Yes, it died."
Jiraiya then believed it.
It's not that he couldn't guess; he simply hadn't asked.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the country and seen countless things, but upon returning, he is still the same young man who has been with countless women, is lustful, shameless, and vulgar, but has never heard of celestial music.
He knew the smell of perfume, he knew the smell of fish, he knew the aroma of incense and steam emanating from the high walls of the hot spring resort, but the smell of happiness... was a blind spot for him.
