"We're going to interview the shop owner in the commercial street this afternoon, and we'll find you a hotel while we're at it."
"You'll have to practice ninjutsu with us before dinner."
Jiraiya nodded; having already agreed, he would naturally keep his promise.
He picked up a piece of meat and ate it, then looked at Changmen and Yunxi's long red hair.
'Never mind, the events in the Land of Whirlpools were a tragedy to begin with.'
'If they really are from the Whirlpool Clan, they'd be better off living in this safe and happy city.'
Unfortunately, Mito Uzumaki has passed away, and he was unable to tell her this good news.
Next, Jiraiya gained a deeper appreciation for the charm of the city.
A bustling commercial street, a harmonious and mutually supportive lifestyle between residents and Palicoes, and a large number of children living happily here and receiving a good education.
I didn't see any dazed residents, any wary shop owners, or any glamorous women with seductive eyes trying to lure others.
Can't compare
Apart from military strength, they can't compare in any other aspect.
Jiraiya felt a sense of inferiority rising within him.
The place where I grew up has so many flaws compared to here.
Although Konoha is a military base, it is very safe, so many businessmen come to invest in Konoha.
Therefore, Konoha Village is more prosperous than 99% of the Land of Fire.
Many things that Hatsumi Castle has, Konoha also has.
But none of them were that good.
He couldn't understand how this city had taken in so many war orphans and raised them.
The orphanages in Konoha at best ensure that the children don't starve and can have enough to eat.
Many children have also become a source of instability in the village, doing things that are abhorrent.
How was this problem solved?
He would have really wanted to go in and take a look if he hadn't been told that only school staff and students were allowed to enter and leave the school.
I'm even more eager to know how Qingjingyuan managed to transform this place into a place full of happiness.
"Uncle Jiraiya".
Jiraiya was momentarily distracted, only then snapping out of his deep thoughts.
At this moment, the five of them were in a training ground in a forest.
"Now it's your turn to spar with us."
"Hahaha, no problem!"
"I am the Toad Sage!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily, looking very confident.
He suppressed his negative emotions and looked at the four children in front of him.
"Anything you like!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a barrage of attacks, including gusts of wind, paper shurikens, and chakra chains, rained down upon him.
"Bridge Bean Sacks!"
"You launched a sneak attack!"
After half an hour.
"Hahaha, you little brats, now you've seen how powerful this Toad Sage is!"
Jiraiya, looking disheveled, burst into laughter as he looked at the four people who had fallen to the ground.
"They only beat us kids, what's there to be proud of?"
Yahiko slowly got up.
After the training session, he did indeed have some inspiration.
Although future work won't require much use of ninjutsu, having the ability to protect oneself is still very important.
At this moment, Yunxi stood up and said to Jiraiya.
"Uncle Jiraiya, would you be interested in accepting a request from our Hatsuhi Castle?"
Ok?
Jiraiya looked over in confusion.
At 5:30 pm, as he was about to leave work, Qingjingyuan kept a close eye on the movements of Xuanwo Yunxi and the others.
"Xiao Hui, Bai Miao, Feng Sha, be careful, Jiraiya is coming soon."
Well!
Bai Miao and Feng Sha, who were finishing up their work for the day, immediately showed their displeasure.
"If you don't want to see him, go to the guest room to rest and wait."
Feng Sha directly refused.
"No, we are Yuan-gege's wives and also his guards. It is our duty."
Kiyoshi was a little curious. They had only met once, yet her two sisters had come to dislike Jiraiya.
"Lord Gen! Jiraiya has come to pay his respects!"
The guard's voice came from outside the door.
"Yes, please let him in."
A few minutes later, the office door opened and Jiraiya walked in.
The first thing he saw was Kiyoi Megumi, with her delicate features, wearing a yukata, a beautiful figure, and a unique temperament.
Then he forced himself to look away.
Seeing a beautiful woman but not being able to appreciate her was truly distressing to him, but he didn't want Kiyoshi Gen to look down on him.
This is his pride as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!
Jiraiya walked straight to the desk with a serious expression, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
"I heard from Yunxi that she has a mission she wants to entrust to me?"
Kiyoshi nodded slightly.
"Just call me Yuan. I do have a task for you to complete."
"Hold on."
He raised his voice and spoke to the person outside the door.
"Yunxi, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, please come in and have a seat."
The four people outside the door cautiously walked in.
This is where Lord Yuan works!
It is such an honor to be able to visit the office of someone I admire!
Jiraiya turned around and saw the four of them looking at the room's furnishings with longing expressions. He smiled.
"They treat children very well here."
"After all, they are the future."
Kiyoshi took a small scroll out of the drawer.
"Here are the mission details."
"I would like to ask you to accompany the caravan on a trip to the Land of Thunder to protect its safety. It will probably take about a month."
"Because our caravans are frequently attacked by wandering samurai and ninjas, the mission is classified as Rank B."
Jiraiya took the scroll and glanced at it casually.
A very ordinary guard mission.
This city probably doesn't conduct frequent intelligence gathering missions like the Five Great Villages.
Villages like Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) often send ninjas to steal secret techniques from smaller ninja villages in various regions.
For this city, this kind of guard duty must be the most difficult.
"The reward is 150,000 taels of silver and the right to reside in a specific area of the inner city."
Right of residence?
"With the right to reside, one can rent an apartment or villa in the inner city."
This is good!
To be honest, the living environment here is really excellent.
Although he often travels to various countries, it is indeed very good to have such a place to relax and unwind.
"Okay, I agree!"
"Leave it to me, Jiraiya!"
Kiyoshi nodded.
"The caravan will depart the day after tomorrow. Please be prepared."
Without saying a word, Jiraiya took the mission scroll and left.
Now is not the time to learn more about this famous person.
He will gain the friendship of this city and discover ways to make Konoha a better place.
