Chapter 273: We May Know What Kind of Expression Naruto Will Show When He Sees Jiraiya Again
Kabuto felt that Orochimaru would not be too happy.
However, Uehara believed that Orochimaru would definitely be thrilled when the time came.
After all, even Madara did not use the power of Six Path for a long time because Black Zetsu directly dug his heart.
It was fortunate for Orochimaru to have a chance to feel it.
After Uehara finished talking about Orochimaru, he looked up in Amegakure’s direction and whispered, “This time, we would separately capture Hachibi and Kyuubi Jinchuriki. I would go to capture Hachibi.”
Uehara’s eyes gradually became deep, “If I’m not wrong, the only people who will go to Konoha to capture Kyuubi Jinchuriki might be Konan-sensei and Nagato.
To keep everything in our hands, Kabuto, I will send Minato and Obito to hide there together. If anything happens, contact me at any time.”
“Yes.”
Kabuto nodded respectfully.
After a moment of silence, Uehara continued, “I’m a little worried that something out of control might happen. If anything happens, you must inform me immediately. I will immediately use the space-time technique to support you.”
“Understood.”
Kabuto nodded and said, “Is Naraku-sama worried that they will fail or encounter danger?”
“Yes, there are some other reasons.”
Uehara nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, “Although many things in the world are under our control, there are still some things that might easily cause unforeseen changes. I hope that everything will go smoothly at that time!”
If everything goes smoothly…
Everything should be going smoothly, right?
Uehara glanced at Kabuto again and continued, “Before I give you any orders, you must not make a move because what you have to do is very important…”
“Yes.”
Kabuto only lowered his head and agreed.
Two days later.
When the entire Akatsuki organization was preparing intensively.
Uehara saw that the system panel suddenly completed a strange mission. Moreover, this mission reward was simply amazing!
[Hidden Mission: If there comes a day, we may know what kind of expression Naruto will show when he sees Jiraiya again.]

The reward for this hidden mission was very high.
Uehara glanced at his attribute value.

This mission reward directly increased his three-dimensional attribute by 100,000, as well as a 100% increase in attribute recovery rate!
However, this mission was a bit strange!
If he remembered correctly after Jiraiya died in battle in the original story. His corpse entered the sea and never appeared in the ninja world again.
The fans of the ACG world hoped that Jiraiya could appear in front of Naruto using the Impure World Reincarnation. After all, so many people in the future ninja world war had seen the person they wanted to see.
Only Naruto did not see Jiraiya.
It was said that the person who created this world did not know what kind of expression Naruto would show when he saw Jiraiya…
From then on, this matter became an eternal regret.
This mission should have originated from this matter.
Uehara raised his eyebrows and received Obito’s message, “Didn’t Obito send Jiraiya to Konoha? How can he complete this mission?”
Didn’t Jiraiya return alive?
What was the situation with this hidden mission?
Under normal circumstances, this hidden mission might not have been completed, but due to time constraints, it happened that something went wrong in the middle.
Konoha’s people thought that Jiraiya had died in battle.
Because after Fukasaku returned to Mount Myoboku, he immediately rushed to Konoha through the underground channel. He then sent a warning to Fifth Hokage and the information Jiraiya gathered from Amegakure.
In the Konohagakure.
In Hokage’s office.
Fukasaku inevitably mentioned Jiraiya’s situation, “How should I start? If there are no accidents, little Jiraiya should have died in battle…”
There was silence in Hokage’s office.
Everyone’s face could not help but turn pale.
Everyone’s eyes seemed to lose color in an instant.
“Huh?”
Naruto’s mind instantly went blank, his ears almost roaring, and his body subconsciously trembled, “You… What are you talking about?”
Tsunade reacted quickly and clenched her fist. She said in a low voice, “What do you mean by if nothing unexpected happens, Jiraiya should already be dead?”
“It happened too suddenly.”
Fukasaku slowly closed his eyes. A hint of regret flashed across his face, “I don’t want this to be true either… But before we dispelled the summon, little Jiraiya was already seriously injured and was surrounded by all of Akatsuki’s members.”
“So, he’s not dead yet, right?”
Naruto slowly let go of his fist and stuffed his hand into it. An ugly smile appeared on his face.
There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, and even his speech was a little incoherent, “Since I didn’t see Ero sennin dying in battle, perhaps he has already escaped…”
“Naruto…”
Sakura looked at Naruto worriedly.
Tsunade took a deep breath and slowly closed her palm. She covered her mouth and whispered, “Fukasaku Sage, please continue!”
“Granny, Ero sennin is not dead yet!”
Naruto suddenly looked at Tsunade, and a trace of violence flashed across his face making his Chakra almost burst out!
Tsunade’s fingers trembled slightly, and she repeated her words. Her voice came from the gap between her palms, “Fukasaku Sage, please continue!”
“Naruto…”
Fukasaku shook his head and sighed, “I know the relationship between you and Little Jiraiya very well, but under the encirclement of Akatsuki, it is impossible for Little Jiraiya to escape with his physical condition.”
“…”
The Hokage office once again turns silent.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Naruto.
Tsunade’s hand tightened. She was still trying to suppress her emotions and repeated her words in a low voice, “Fukasaku Sage, please continue.”
“Granny Tsunade?”
Naruto looked at Tsunade in disbelief.
At this moment, he couldn’t believe Tsunade’s indifference or rather her silence; no one noticed her abnormality.
In terms of deep feelings with Jiraiya, no one present could have deeper feelings than Tsunade. Her sadness would only be greater than everyone present, and her emotions would only be greater than that of everyone present.
However, her many years of ninja life forced her to remain calm.
In the past, Tsunade had experienced too many deaths of her relatives and friends. Among them, there was her most beloved brother Nawaki, her lover Dan Kato… even now, her only old friend Jiraiya, the news of his death was also sent over.
However, the current Tsunade was Konoha’s Fifth Hokage.
Hokage was the spiritual pillar of the entire Konoha. No matter how much sadness was suppressed in her heart, she had to endure it. This was Hokage’s duty.
Tsunade’s fingers were still on her lips, and she said word by word, “Time is precious now. I won’t waste time and information that Jiraiya bought with his life.”
“…”
After the shock flashed across Naruto’s face, his face gradually became indifferent.
“I got it.”
Naruto slowly turned around and walked to the door of Hokage’s office. He lowered his head and said, “At that time, if not for Granny Tsunade handing the information to Ero sennin, he would never have gone to Amegakure!”
Tsunade still closed her palm and calmly nodded as she sat in Hokage’s seat. Her voice was full of indifference as she admitted it.
“What you said… is right.”
“Is this Hokage’s attitude?”
Naruto clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Tsunade’s trembling fingers.
Naruto’s mind slowly recalled everything about Jiraiya, and he gradually recalled what happened that day of how Tsunade had obstructed Jiraiya’s departure.
At this moment, he was not qualified to blame Tsunade.
Because that day was Jiraiya’s own choice.
When Jiraiya argued that he wanted to go to Amegakure, Naruto and Tsunade were beside him, and both of them kept persuading him.
However, Jiraiya did not listen to the advice at all.
The anger on Naruto’s face suddenly dissipated. He slowly grasped the door handle, lowered his head, and said in a sad voice, “It’s my fault. I should have persuaded Ero sennin not to take the risk! Sorry, please continue here!”
“Naruto…”
“Naruto.”
“Naruto!”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Naruto, looking at this Naruto, who always looked like he could never be defeated. But at this moment, he was full of depression.
Naruto suppressed the tears in his eyes; he opened the door of Hokage’s office with a sad face, then bowed his head and walked out of Hokage’s office.
Bang!
A huge fist landed on Naruto’s head!
A tall figure stood next to Naruto, and a familiar voice appeared beside Naruto’s ear, “Idiot! That woman Tsunade has a big chest but has a small heart. Aren’t you afraid that she will make things difficult for you?”
