Chapter 214 The Immortal Returns to the Village
The day the plan was completed, at the gates of Konoha.
"Hey buddy, a lot of people have been eliminated in this Chunin Exams."
While on guard duty, Izumo Kamitsu chatted with his best friend.
"That's normal. After all, it's a large-scale Chunin Exam, and those selected are all elites."
Looking at the rarely empty gate, Kotetsu couldn't help but recall his own Chunin Exams back then.
"But this time, our Konoha team consists of the elite of the elite. Didn't Kakashi's team capture that guy, Zabuza?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone from Kirigakure. Maybe I'll get to see them this time."
"Hey, now that we've reached this level, anyone who wants to join Konoha has to ask us for our approval first, right?"
"Pfft...cough cough, you're right."
As the two chatted and laughed, a figure approached from a distance.
"Stop laughing, someone's coming."
Gangzi Tie interrupted Shen Yue Chuyun's laughter, and the two focused their attention on the figure wearing a black cloak who was walking towards them.
"Who goes there? Show your face."
Gangzi Tie felt that the figure was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't figure out who it was for the moment.
"His aura is impressive. Just looking at his stance makes me a little shudder."
Izumo Kamui made a joke to ease the awkwardness, and at the same time, a kunai appeared in his hand.
After all, people who come this close but still don't show their faces are mostly up to no good.
This is the gate to Konoha. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here is either out of their mind or... exceptionally strong.
There was no other way. Even though we knew the other party might be incredibly strong, security guards had to act like security guards!
The two looked at each other, as if they could see the flames burning in each other's eyes.
Are you ready, buddy?
Ready?! Heart pounding!
That's roughly the gist of it.
However, just as they were about to strike first, the figure stopped and then lifted his cloak.
"Hey, um... Tetsuo Kotetsu and Izumo Kamizuki, right? You two are so grown up now."
Familiar faces and voices appeared before them, and they fell into a brief silence.
"Holy crap, Jiraiya-sama! You're back!"
Izumo Kamitsu spoke first, then sized up Jiraiya.
"Well, it was the old man who told me to come back, since that guy is back too."
Jiraiya scratched his head, then handed the two the keepsake that came with the letter Sarutobi had written to him.
Gangzi Tie took the token, examined it, and then gave Shenyue Izumo an approving look.
"I see, that guy... could it be!"
Seeing that the token was genuine, Izumo Kamatsuki lowered his guard and walked over to Jiraiya.
"confidential."
Jiraiya made a shushing gesture, then looked around, patted Izumo Kamitsu on the back, and said, "Alright, I really am Jiraiya. Here, take my chakra."
I didn't expect that Konoha's security would be so strict after I've been gone for so long. So, is it possible for me to gather materials myself...?
No, no, the key now is Orochimaru. The old man said he has something important to tell me.
"The old man wants to see me about something important, so hurry up."
"Okay, just a moment."
Three minutes later, a large white creature entered Konoha Village and then appeared in a strange place.
"When did a hot spring shop appear here? I remember there was nothing here when I left."
Jiraiya looked at the hot spring shop, which was packed with people, and fell into deep thought.
After a brief moment of thought, he decided to look from behind to see what was so magical about this place that allowed it to develop so rapidly.
"Have you heard? In the second round of the Chunin Exams, all four teams from Konoha passed."
"Well, as the strongest ninja village, isn't that a given?"
"Exactly, Xiao Xiang, your skin is getting better and better!"
"Hey, that's because I've been drinking a really good one lately... Hey! Don't touch me like that!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a great evil! Tell me, what did you use?"
"It's honey tea from Naoko's house over in the village, it's so delicious, watch out!"
"Ouch! You're asking for it! Hehehe, then I won't be polite."
Hmm, inspiration has struck.
Jiraiya wiped his nose. Although he didn't have a nosebleed, he was already stimulated by inspiration.
But what about the honey tea from Hunako's shop? Hmm, I should definitely check it out when I get back, see if it's really that amazing.
"Ah! Who's there! Someone's spying on us!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Jiraiya, and then the three little ones jumped up.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, I'm not spying, I'm just gathering material!"
Jiraiya dodged the grab from Konohamaru's army in a flash, looked at the three children, and uttered nonsensical words with righteous indignation.
"Nonsense! Someone come quick!"
Konohamaru, a good boy who received a good education from his older brother, was still able to distinguish right from wrong in this situation. When he came to this hot spring with his older brothers before, his older brother said that he should not learn from his grandfather.
Otherwise, you might end up like your teacher and grandfather, suffering from anemia and kidney deficiency, and have to go to the hospital's director to get a prescription for kidney tonic.
Jiraiya's years of experience in being discovered told him that he had at least a minute to deal with these three brats and then make his escape.
"Hey kid, do you know who I am?"
Jiraiya looked at Konohamaru, narrowed his eyes, and exuded his own aura.
Konohamaru stiffened, recalling the scene when Kankuro captured him last time, and then immediately shouted, "I don't care who you are, I'm telling you, my grandfather is the Hokage!"
Alright, now it's Jiraiya who's frozen in place.
Playing ball, the footage was seen by his younger siblings, who were quite young and seemed to have very positive values.
If the old man finds out, I'll definitely get a lecture.
Jiraiya quickly covered Konohamaru's mouth, but Udon and Moegi bravely hugged his legs.
"Stop! You lecherous old man, please let go of that child and come with us to the security department."
A female voice rang out, and crimson Sharingan spun in her pupils. Izumi looked at Konohamaru, who was being held by a strange white-haired man, and shouted at the white-haired man.
Jiraiya: Wait, what?! It's only been twenty-odd seconds! Are all the security personnel here the Anbu?! So fast?!
It's okay. With my skills, not many girls should be able to catch me.
Jiraiya's eyes darted around, and he threw Konohamaru out, then vanished from the spot with a substitution jutsu.
