The Shadow of Konoha

"Am I in trouble again?" Hanyu looked at the training ground, which was empty but had a lot of people there just now. After a moment of silence, he realized that he seemed to be in trouble again... As a person who witnessed Jiraiya's entire process of committing suicide, the question is, should Hanyu be held jointly responsible for the other party's suicidal behavior?

It seems... hard to say.

First of all, even though Hanyu felt that Jiraiya had just gone to his "place of destiny" Myobokuyama, his judgment was based on something he could not reasonably explain to anyone else. In other words when he reported the matter to the Hokage, he could only say in the most conservative way that Jiraiya's "whereabouts were unknown", otherwise he would be in even bigger trouble.

Secondly, even Hanyu could not be 100% sure that Jiraiya had gone to Myoboku Mountain, because the randomness of this teleportation was too great. Even if Jiraiya had fallen into the Ryuchi Cave, it was not impossible. From the most extreme case perspective, it was also possible that he had died, and the latter possibility was even the greatest.

At this time, Hanyu can only hope that Jiraiya will be blessed with good fortune.

Fate is something illusory. To be honest, Hanyu doesn't believe in it. However, when it comes to Jiraiya, it seems to have a different kind of persuasiveness. "The guide of reformers who bring changes to the world" is a label attached to Jiraiya, but is this his original fate in life, or is it the change that he has undergone after the Toad Sage made a prophecy to him? In fact, no one can tell for sure.

Thinking of this, Hanyu suddenly smiled. Now his perspective on thinking was a little too deep into this world. As a person living in this world, it is understandable that his way of thinking has changed. The problem of the indigenousization of reincarnator's is a global problem. He should integrate into this world, but he cannot integrate everything into it... This is not good. At least he cannot lose the perspective of being able to jump out of this world and overlook all problems.

"The moment the space channel opened just now, I felt the breath on the other side seemed a little familiar, but I can't be sure what exactly is going on in my current state." At this moment, Katsuyu in a semi-hibernating state climbed onto Hanyu's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Does it look familiar?" Hanyu shook his head. Unless the slug could firmly determine that the other side of the space passage opened by Jiraiya was Mount Myoboku, such an ambiguous answer would be meaningless.

But Katsuyu is only a summoning beast of the Wet Bone Forest. Even if it is fully awake, it is unlikely to know the spatial coordinates of Myoboku Mountain... unless there is some unknown connection between the three secret realms.

"Anyway, let's report this matter to the Hokage as soon as possible." Hanyu added. Since he had seen with his own eyes the problems that happened to Jiraiya could only report this matter to the Hokage, and leave all the remaining issues to the other party to judge.

At this time, the Third Hokage should be receiving the envoys of the Uzumaki clan. This is a very serious diplomatic activity, and he should not be disturbed by ordinary matters. But matters concerning Jiraiya's life and death should not be considered "ordinary matters", right?

Hanyu quickly left the training ground and prepared to go to where the Hokage was, but the problem was that he didn't know where the Hokage was. He first went to the Hokage's office building, but found it unusually quiet and didn't look like it was receiving people. After asking the ninjas, Hanyu confirmed that the Hokage was not there.

At this time, Hanyu immediately thought of Miss Sansho, who of course knew the movements of the Hokage. However, whether it was Sansho or Tsunade, those who were related to the Senju and Uzumaki should be with the Hokage and the Uzumaki messenger at this time, so they could not be found either. Therefore, at this time, Hanyu could only choose one person... Orochimaru.

Fortunately, Hanyu knew where Orochimaru lived.

When Hanyu finally found Orochimaru's residence and knocked on the door, the door opened a narrow crack.

"Who is it?" Orochimaru's muffled voice sounded.

Looking through the crack in the door, Hanyu saw that the other person's face was covered with a thick towel, with only a pair of eyes exposed. At the same time, a strange and pungent smell came from Orochimaru's room.

Hanyu suddenly realized that it seemed that Jiraiya was not the only one who was diligent during the New Year. There was also someone here who was very keen on experiments, even various dangerous biochemical experiments.

"It's me, it's an emergency, Orochimaru, do you know where the Third Hokage is now?"

"Well, today the Third Hokage will receive the envoys of the Uzumaki clan. The Hokage, the Uzumaki clan members of Konoha, including Tsunade will also be there... at the residence of the Sarutobi clan." Orochimaru originally had a look of vigilance in his eyes, but after seeing that the person outside the door was Hanyu, this vigilant look was slightly reduced... but it only reduced, but did not disappear.

"That's great, come with me, I have an emergency to report to the Hokage." Hanyu said.

No wonder the Third Hokage couldn't be found, it turns out he was in his hometown. This is actually a bit strange, the Uzumaki clan came to Konoha as an official diplomatic mission, but the place where the Hokage entertained them was not in the Hokage's office building, but in his own mansion... In a sense, this shows that the personal friendship between the two parties is very strong, and it is a signal that they are willing to continue to be close to each other and deepen the relationship between the two parties.

"Report to the Hokage again? Are you in a hurry?" Orochimaru glanced behind himself, and seemed not to want to stop the experiment in hand... Hey, why did he say again?

"Very anxious," Hanyu nodded. "Let me put it this way. If you don't come out, I will break in and drag you out right away."

He showed a very tough attitude, and Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly. Is he the kind of person who would accept threats from others and then give in easily?

So, Orochimaru took off his handkerchief, and then slipped out through the ten-centimeter-wide gap in the door he had opened, like a gecko.

Then he locked the door.

Orochimaru cannot beat Hanyu now, so he is quite obedient.

However, his "covering the truth" behavior clearly showed that there was something wrong in the room. Hanyu's eyelids twitched. It was obvious that this guy was doing something shameful...

But now is not the time to worry about that.

After Orochimaru left home, he took Hanyu through the streets and alleys and arrived at Sarutobi's mansion, and entered the mansion with the help of his face-scanning skill.

It was not until Hanyu reported the incident to the Hokage that Orochimaru realized that his good friend, who loved and hated each other, had gone solo. They had clearly agreed to go together...

Ahem, anyway, the Hokage's expression suddenly became serious about this matter.
