“With Sharingan’s trickery, even the Sannin Jiraiya would get trapped, right? ”

In the exam space, Deidara’s tone was somewhat sour. ​​

“Besides, Orochimaru is also a Sannin. Wasn’t he also trapped? ”

“As long as you don’t give them time to summon their beast, their strength would be greatly limited.”

Uchiha Itachi slightly raised his eyelids. He really wanted to tell him that the gap between Sharingan was as big as the gap between Kage-level powerhouses.

Being able to kill the Fifth Kazekage didn’t mean that they could also kill the Fourth Raikage.

‘Don’t you understand such a simple truth?’

‘Also, you think the Sannin are famous in the shinobi world just because their summoned beasts are insane?’

“Jiraiya, what have you been doing all this time?”

“Me? I write books and travel …”

“If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll bring Akatsuki to visit Konoha.”

Pain said lightly. When the other Akatsuki members heard these words, a strange smile appeared on their faces.

They didn’t expect it; their leader could also subtly threaten people.

He was more and more like a villain.

But …

They liked it…

“Nagato, you!”

Jiraiya’s face changed. For people like them … except Orochimaru, all put the interests of the village first, and their personal feelings and interests after.

Jiraiya’s eyes deepened. If Nagato said so, he must have some kind of a plan.

　　…

“During this time, have the patrolling shinobi pay attention.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen addressed the three people who looked pale behind him, saying that without looking at them. He secretly compared Akatsuki’s strength with Konoha.

If the people in the exam space were all members of Akatsuki, excluding Orochimaru, there were sixteen people.

Originally there were seventeen people, but Sarutobi Hiruzen counted Uchiha Itachi as someone on his side.

‘Seriously, if it weren’t for guarding us against the other shinobi villages, these sixteen people, against Konoha’s full strength, had no possibility of spreading waves at all.’

To know, just his own Sarutobi clan and the number of Jōnin in recent years …

‘Haha.’

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. No matter the Akimichis, the Yamanakas, the Naras, or other small clans, which one didn’t produce a few Jōnins?

Not to mention Konoha’s Hyuga clan.

Not to mention Konoha’s Anbu, Root, and many other means.

As long as these people weren’t at Uchiha Itachi’s level, a dozen people at the Jōnin level could consume them.

‘Did they really think everyone was like that Raikage, going against ten thousand at a time?’

‘Not to mention the fact that these guys have internal conflicts that couldn’t be ignored.’

‘Konoha has the right time, the right place, and the right people. What should we be afraid of?’

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s heart raged.

‘If you dare to come, you would have nothing left!’

　　…

Jiraiya’s facial expression fluctuated several times. Although he hadn’t returned to Konoha for so many years, he knew about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tactics.

‘Konoha now was more than the Fourth Hokage’s era …’

Otherwise, why would they, the Sannin, leave one after another. There were just some things they didn’t want to see.

He didn’t want to see his disciples fight with Konoha.

“During this time, I have been investigating news about Akatsuki. You guys had left some traces in the shinobi world that aroused my suspicions.”

Jiraiya looked at Nagato calmly and decided not to hide it. After all, this wasn’t exactly information that would be useful to Akatsuki or Orochimaru.

“I’m heading back to Konoha to attend Konoha’s Chūnin exam.”

Jiraiya didn’t expect that his words would expose Konoha directly.

If Jiraiya had known that the entire shinobi world would hear his words, he wouldn’t have said them.

‘Jiraiya is going back to Konoha before the Chūnin exam?’

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows lightly.

He didn’t expect that Jiraiya would be going back to Konoha at this time.

‘Surely it didn’t mean that …’

‘Konoha noticed my movements?’

Orochimaru suddenly realized that many things might face changes because of the appearance of this space.

It seemed that he had to start early!

　　…

“Idiot! Stupid! How dare you disclose Konoha’s information to the public! Idiot! Hiruzen is that what his teacher taught him?!”

Hearing Jiraiya’s words, Danzō broke into a cursing fit, looking furious. His eyes were fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s back.

Today, he was angered by the forcefulness of the Third Hokage, and after pointing the finger, felt much better.

However, his anger wasn’t all pretending. If Jiraiya weren’t the one who said this today, he would already be sending someone out to kill him!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was livid. No one knew if he was angry with Jiraiya or because of Danzō scolding.

“They don’t seem to know that the whole world is watching them.”

Behind them, the Hokage advisor’s words made both of them turn pale at the same time.

　　…

“Ridiculous! This is Konoha’s shinobi?”

“Is this the quality of Konoha’s Sannin, Jiraiya?”

“Hahaha!”

In Sunagakure, the shinobis that gathered snickered as they watched Jiraiya.

They didn’t expect that the famous Sannin Jiraiya would expose not only Konoha’s upcoming Chūnin exams but also the fact that he was rushing back to Konohagakure.

Rasa’s eyes were also full of disdain. This Chūnin exam was attended by all the shinobi villages that had a treaty with Konoha.

But of the five major shinobi villages, only his Sunagakure was by itself.

The remaining ones were Amegakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, Otogakure and Konohagakure.

The reason why he participated was that Orochimaru had contacted him some time ago…

Rasa frowned. However, the news of Konoha’s Chūnin exam would eventually spread to other villages. But now that it’s being brought out, it’s much more maneuverable…

“Report! Kazekage-sama, a Kumo shinobi, and an Iwa shinobi appeared at the border and left a scroll.”

“A scroll?”

Chiyo looked at the two scrolls held by the puppet behind Sajin. Her five fingers moved slightly. A dozen chakra lines invisible to the naked eye were linked directly to the puppet, depriving the puppet of control.

She controlled the puppet to fly away and opened the scroll. After a while, she saw nothing happened and controlled the puppet to bring the scroll back.

“In three days, the Tsuchikage will visit Konohagakure and is inviting the Kazekage to accompany him.”

The content on the other scroll was similar, but it was a little more informal.

“I, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, will be going to mess Konoha up. Are you coming?”

Rasa looked at the scrolls and laughed.

“Reply to them and say that the Fourth Kazekage agreed!”

With the scroll destroyed in one move, Rasa was sure that the Mizukage would receive similar scrolls.

“Everything is becoming even more interesting.”
