The night passed without a word.
The second day, as the sun was setting in the west.
Jokichi was awakened by shouts and knocking from outside the courtyard.
Because he had awakened the Rinnegan and was excited.
He had spent the whole night adapting to his new powers.
He only went to sleep when the sky began to clear.
"Who is it!"
Groggy, he opened his eyes.
The Tool Person promptly brought a washbasin and towel.
The hot water was already prepared inside.
Toothpaste and a toothbrush for washing up were placed next to it.
Jokichi quickly finished washing up.
He prepared to go out and see who was calling outside.
After taking two steps, he passed by a mirror.
He caught a glimpse of the person in the mirror.
Those purple Rinnegan with ripple-like concentric circles.
"I didn't expect the False Mask to be unable to conceal the existence of the Rinnegan."
Jokichi sighed.
He took out the Eternal Mangekyo from the system space, and put it on.
This Mangekyo, which fused the eyes of Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke.
It was a contact lens that could switch between ordinary eyes and the Sharingan.
Of course, it could also be described as cosmetic contact lenses.
The mysterious, unconcealable Rinnegan was actually very simple to conceal physically.
Looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes had turned black.
"Since the Sharingan is overwritten anyway, I'll just use this as a replacement!"
Jokichi nodded in satisfaction, opened the door, and walked out.
Soon, Jokichi arrived at the courtyard gate and opened it.
The person outside was just about to knock.
Seeing the door suddenly open, he smiled apologetically at Jokichi.
He immediately withdrew his hand.
"Yo."
The person was about to say something.
He suddenly saw Jokichi's face clearly and was stunned.
Not only him, but Jokichi was also stunned.
Because they had just seen each other at the tavern yesterday.
The visitors were none other than Jiraiya and Naruto.
"You're the owner of this mansion?"
Jiraiya asked in surprise.
"Mhm!"
Jokichi nodded.
"Wow!"
Naruto poked his head into the courtyard gate, scanned the area, and could not help but exclaim.
"I didn't expect that unreliable perverted bro to actually be this rich."
"Naruto!"
Jiraiya scolded, then stole a glance at Jokichi.
Seeing that he did not mind, he coughed twice and spoke.
"Um, I'm currently traveling to gather materials while teaching my disciple. We got a bit tired from training today, and saw."
"Alright, I get it."
Jokichi wore an expression of understanding.
He turned his body sideways, making way for the entrance.
"Come in and rest. I will treat you well."
"That's really kind of you, ahaha."
While speaking words of thanks and modesty.
Jiraiya showed no restraint whatsoever.
He laughed heartily as he strode through the courtyard gate.
That behavior left Naruto watching with black lines dropping down the back of his head.
He used to think he was unreliable enough.
But after being with Jiraiya for so long, he realized he was actually quite sensible.
"You come in too!"
Jokichi smiled at him.
"Mhm!"
Half an hour later.
In the reception room.
The three sat on the floor before a low table.
Jiraiya, holding a sake cup, said tipsily.
"I didn't expect to be able to enjoy such a luxurious lifestyle in this desolate wilderness. It's truly great that we ran into you, bro!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Naruto bit into some food while nodding in agreement.
Ever since he started training with Jiraiya, his wallet had never been full.
Every time, Jiraiya would trick him out of his money to go drinking and womanizing.
Leaving him to eat ordinary meals.
Eating such a lavish feast in the wilderness right now.
Naruto actually felt tears welling up in his eyes.
My life is so hard.
Jokichi smiled lightly.
"Meeting is fate. Just eat and drink to your heart's content. If it's not enough, I'll have more prepared."
"By the way, bro, why did you build a mansion in a place like this?"
Jiraiya asked in confusion.
This place was in the middle of nowhere.
Jiraiya had not seen any farmlands nearby on his way here.
Yet the other party brought out fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat to entertain them.
Of course, if the other party was an expert.
He could also bring back fresh vegetables and meat from very far away.
However, a courtyard this large.
It could not be managed without at least 20 servants.
Yet, on his way inside, Jiraiya found that every spot was exceptionally clean.
Without even a speck of dust on the floor.
This could only be achieved if someone was cleaning constantly.
But he could not sense anyone else in the courtyard at all.
This young man gave off an aura that was too mysterious.
Although Jiraiya also felt the other party's goodwill.
He did not think he was trying to harm him and Naruto.
He still could not hold back his curiosity.
"It's nothing. I just happened to travel here, so I settled my residence here."
Jokichi said with a light smile.
That casual manner made it sound as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Jiraiya's drinking and Naruto's chewing paused.
They looked at Jokichi, mouths slightly open.
As if they had seen something unbelievable.
"What's wrong?"
Jokichi asked curiously.
"N-nothing."
The master and disciple shook their heads in unison.
"Oh, then please go ahead."
After the pleasantries, Jokichi also focused on eating.
Having slept for a day without eating anything, he was a bit hungry.
Jiraiya and Naruto exchanged glances, conveying messages through expressions and gestures.
"This bro wouldn't happen to be a yokai, would he!"
"He could also be a god."
"Will anything happen to us!"
"Don't worry. He looks like a benevolent god or a good yokai. Forming a bond isn't a bad thing."
"Is it really okay?"
"It's fine. Aren't there many ghost stories that record humans forming bonds with gods or kind yokai."
"Oh, oh!"
Jiraiya and Naruto winking and making faces at each other.
Jokichi naturally saw it all.
However, with those abstract expressions, he really could not understand what the two were communicating.
Of course, he did not care either.
The personalities of these two men meant he had nothing to worry about.
The three of them entered a state of burying their heads and devouring the food.
Suddenly, all three stopped their actions simultaneously.
They looked up outside.
There was a very massive chakra reaction, heading rapidly this way.
Without any concealment whatsoever.
The chakra was astonishing, and the speed was very fast.
Even someone without sensory abilities could clearly feel the other party's presence.
Jokichi and Jiraiya looked at each other.
Both seeing the bewilderment in the other's eyes.
"I'll go check the situation."
Jokichi stood up, picked up his sword, and walked outside.
"Let's go together!"
Jiraiya called out, bringing Naruto along to follow.
Soon, the group arrived at the courtyard gate.
On the horizon of the distant forest, a black dot trailing a long dust dragon was charging this way.
A few seconds later, everyone could clearly see the other party's appearance.
A pale-colored robe, a slender body, deathly pale skin, the Byakugan.
A forehead protector that looked like a stratum corneum on his forehead.
A fish basket glowing with a red light was tied to his waist.
A fishing rod glowing with a red light rested on his shoulder.
He wore a confident smile on his face.
It is worth mentioning that he was not running on the ground.
But flying at a low altitude all the way here.
Otsutsuki Urashiki attacks.
