"Why don't you speak, Jiji?"

"Ji, the human over there seems to be staring at us all the time."

"Hehe, these stupid patients often behave like this, Jiji, do you understand what we are talking about~"

"I understand. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Sasuke answered verbally.

The two little birds were so scared that they flapped their wings and flew away quickly.

It turns out that this pendant, called the "Heart of Animal Language", allows the wearer to communicate directly with animals!

After a while, the two birds flew back again.

This time, a flock of various birds followed behind me.

"Are you sure he can talk?"

A gray magpie probed its head and said.

"It's true! He started talking to me all of a sudden, I'm so scared! Chichi!"

The bird at the beginning had just calmed down from the shock. Seeing that it had so many friends, it boldly asked again:

"Hey! Say something! Jiji!"

Sasuke was speechless and said, "Hello."

The flock of birds flapped their wings and exploded again.

A few timid birds even tumbled and ran away. The remaining birds all looked at Sasuke with curious eyes.

"I know you!" a crow said suddenly.

"Did you fight with anyone near the ninja school last night?"

"Yes."

Sasuke nodded.

Soon, Sasuke suddenly realized what these little birds could bring to him.

"The ANBU ninja who fought with me, do any of you know anything about him?"

Sasuke asked.

The birds looked at each other, and the crow replied:

"Perhaps, my cousins ​​will have some news."

Sasuke got up, took out a piece of bread from the bedside, placed it gently on the balcony, and said:

"Please, that person's identity is very important to me. After the battle, where did he go, his name, and all the news about him, I want to know."

Seeing the bread, the birds showed excitement and rushed to peck at it.

"Don't worry! We will keep an eye out for you!"

The bread crumbs were still hanging on the lips, and the birds had a full stomach in this early autumn.

-

Konoha, Hokage Building, in the office.

"You are finally willing to come see me."

The Third Hokage bit his pipe and spoke calmly.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you're fine!"

Jiraiya greeted.

"Are you still daydreaming about the child of prophecy?"

The Third Hokage asked.

Ten minutes ago, when he heard that Jiraiya asked for an audience, he was almost overjoyed and hurriedly asked someone to invite this big shot of one of the three ninjas in.

Right now, Konoha's fighting power is withering.

In times of crisis, it is precisely this kind of talent that is needed to defend the country.

Since the Second Ninja War, these three disciples of mine have been running away, being stupid, and going crazy.

Orochimaru defected from the village, Tsunade suffered from hemophobia, and Jiraiya became crazy and ran around the world, yelling about the child of prophecy.

Every time he thought of Sarutobi Hiruzen, a feeling of desolation would arise in his heart.

"That's not a daydream! In fact, this is exactly what I came to see you for."

Jiraiya replied.

Sure enough, you shouldn't have your hopes up.

Sandai's eyes dimmed and his mind sank again.

"I can already confirm that Uchiha Sasuke is the son of prophecy I am looking for!"

"Oh?"

The Third Hokage gently put down his pipe, thinking to himself, it's this Uchiha Sasuke again.

"Then, congratulations."

The Third Hokage said calmly.

"But, last night, ANBU personnel suddenly attacked Uchiha Sasuke and almost killed him!"

The third generation was startled and looked up at Kakashi aside, who nodded, confirming that what Jiraiya said was true.

"Then someone must be impostering."

The Third Hokage thought for a while and replied that he was still very confident in the control of ANBU.

In fact, what he cared about the most was Sarutobi Asuma's movements.

In the past two days, he had asked Asma to have dinner together and sent people to closely monitor his movements, but no suspicious signs were found.

It seems that the boy is busy dating all day long, and occasionally goes to eat barbecue with the disciples of the three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly. He doesn't look like he wants to defect.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he just received the report and has been practicing hard in recent days.

In the view of the Third Hokage, this matter has almost come to an end. After all, the current focus should still be on the issue of city defense and control.

Jiraiya argued for a few more words, but the third generation didn't say much. He just asked someone to bring yesterday's itinerary log of all ANBU personnel to Jiraiya for review.

Moreover, a general explanation of the ninjutsu used by each ANBU ninja was also given.

Among them, no relevant information about medical combat ninjas was found.

"If it is really an imposter, do you have any suspicion, Mr. Sarutobi?"

Jiraiya had to agree and continued to ask.

It seems that it really wasn't the Third Hokage's fault.

The third generation shook his head.

//

"If you continue to cut off, there will be endless troubles!"

//

At the high-level meeting, Danzo's angry face flashed through the third generation's mind.

"Could it be Danzo-sama?"

Jiraiya asked directly.

Sandai was surprised when his thoughts were suddenly revealed, but he quickly calmed down and said: "Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."

"I understand."

Jiraiya turned and left.

"Kakashi, stop him! Don't let him do something stupid!"

Sandai said hurriedly.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, a deep feeling of fatigue came over me.

Today's Konoha is full of internal factions, and the outside world is eyeing it.

He only has a big air, but he is already weak on the inside.

This rickety thatched hut is leaking from all sides.

I don’t know how long I can hold up this rotten tree.——

Under the Hokage Rock, underground tunnels, Konoha Assassination Special Forces Root Base.

The torches flickered, turning Jiraiya's white hair orange.

"He is really a gloomy guy. He hides in a dark cave all day long."

Jiraiya scoffed.

"What about you? Why are you here again? Are there no women taking a bath in the village today?"

Shimura Danzo retorted.

"Nothing, I just came to warn you."

Jiraiya ignored the taunt and his expression turned scary.

"If we send someone to attack Uchiha Sasuke again.

"I will definitely kill you!"

"Really? I would like to see if you really have this strength."

Danzo Shimura was furious and stood up, facing Jiraiya directly.

"Jiraiya-senpai!"

Kakashi finally caught up, "Danzo-sama."
