Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family - Chapter 257

c257 The current situation of the ninja world

Mount Myoki is located in the far west of the ninja world.

Since the Ten-Tails rebellion a thousand years ago and the battle that almost destroyed the ninja world, the land where people can live in the ninja world has been destroyed on a large scale. In order to survive, the people who survived migrated to the area covered by the five major countries. Only then did the ninja world develop into what it is today.

The far west land that was once at the center of the war had such a harsh environment that few people set foot there, except for the ninjas who sought strength at Mt. Miaomu, which was hidden in the natural maze.

After almost a month of wandering eastward from Mt. Miaomu, Jiraiya finally arrived at the Country of Wind, which has a better environment.

After a long journey, even with Jiraiya’s free and easy temper, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief after seeing the towns where a large number of humans gathered.

“If I had known earlier, I would have used the secret passage in Mt. Myoboku to return directly to Konoha. This month’s experience has been truly unforgettable!”

Smelling the odor of sweat emanating from his body, Jiraiya unconsciously scratched his body that seemed to be itching everywhere, found a hotel that provided food and accommodation, and couldn’t wait to dive in.

Wash the dirt off your body and put on clean clothes. Jiraiya found a seat, ordered a large table of special delicacies from the Land of Wind, and ate to his heart’s content.

After taking a sip of sake, Jiraiya couldn’t help but let out a sigh of contentment.

“Ha! Comfortable!”

“Sure enough, proper relaxation after practice can make people feel more satisfied!”

“Boss, check out!”

Jiraiya nodded with satisfaction, took out a wad of banknotes commonly used in the ninja world from his arms to pay the bill, said hello to the hotel owner, and wandered out the door.

“Jiraiya-sama!”

A call woke up Jiraiya who was calmly collecting information. Jiraiya lowered his head in surprise and saw a pure white humanoid creature emerging from the ground and looking up at him.

“Um?”

“A white humanoid, you must be the White Zetsu that Minato mentioned, right?”

“I didn’t expect that guy Shengshu to have covered the intelligence network in such a remote place. It’s really amazing!”

Jiraiya laughed, but looked carefully at the guy who suddenly appeared from the ground.

Bai Jue nodded.

“Yes, it is!”

“Jiraiya-sama, my master has told all the White Zetsu that no matter if any Konoha ninja appears in our sights, they can obtain information from us if necessary.”

“Jiraiya-sama, is there any information you need to know?”

“Please believe in our Shiro’s ability to detect intelligence. There is almost nothing in the ninja world that we don’t know!”

Jiraiya nodded with interest, looked at the confident White Zetsu and said:

“That was a real help.”

“After being isolated from the world for so long, I really need to get some information.”

“Find a secluded place where we can have a good chat?”

Bai Jue shook his head.

“Jiraiya-sama, there is no need to go to such trouble.”

“As long as you wear me on your body, you can go anywhere you want, and ordinary sensory ninjutsu cannot detect my existence!”

Jiraiya’s eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

“It’s interesting, but quite novel. So what should I do?”

“You don’t have to do anything, just leave it to me!”

Bai Jue responded and slowly pressed against Jiraiya’s back. His body split into an empty piece of white human skin, which completely enveloped Jiraiya and quietly led him into the ground.

Like a swimming fish, Jiraiya rushed towards Konoha from the underground with the help of Bai Zetsu.

“Um, Bai Zetsu, are you going to take me back to Konoha?”

Jiraiya felt the change in the direction of travel and couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes Jiraiya-sama.”

“A lot of things have happened in Konoha recently. I think you will be eager to return to Konoha after knowing this information.”

White Zetsu’s voice sounded from Jiraiya’s body.

Jiraiya nodded, very satisfied with this well-behaved Bai Zetsu.

“Tell me!”

“Yes, Lord Jiraiya!”

Bai Jue responded and continued:

“You should already know about the Master’s conclusion of the Third Ninja War through Namikaze Minato-sama, so how about I tell you what happened in the Ninja World in the past month?”

Jiraiya nodded and walked around without any need for him to take action, just as if he was listening to the story.

“Can!”

Bai Jue hurried on without stopping and began his story.

“A month ago, the shell organization headed by Otsutsuki Ishiki launched a collection operation against tailed beasts.”

“The Sunagakure Village of the Country of Wind was attacked first, and one of the Jinchūriki was attacked and killed by Black Zetsu. The grandson of Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure Village, killed Sunagakure Village with the help of Kaude, a member of the inner circle of the Shell Organization. The Third Kazekage defected.”

“Today’s Sunagakure Village is run by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa”

“The leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in the Kirigakure Village, the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Demon, defected and took another strong man from the Shell Organization to attack the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki of the Kirigakure Village.”

“In the process of fighting for the Six-Tails Chakra, the Third Mizukage was killed, the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki was killed, and the Chakra was taken away by the Shell Organization.”

“The Evil God Cult of Yuno Country sacrificed a large number of wandering ninjas in the name of asking for blessings from the Evil God.”

“A large amount of resentment surrounds the country of Tang. King Mu of the Five Tails, who has been dead for nearly two years, has shown faint signs of resurrection recently.”

“In the Land of Rain, the Master’s disciple, Yahiko, who is the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, was attacked by a mysterious man and almost died. Fortunately, another disciple of the Master, Nagato, arrived in time and saved him.”

“But part of the four-tailed chakra in Yahiko’s body was also taken away by the visitor.”

“After the master learned the news that his disciple was attacked, he was immediately furious. He directly informed the ninja world and initiated the first joint meeting of all forces in the ninja world. The meeting place was set in Konoha.”

“The main purpose of this meeting is to integrate the power of the entire ninja world to jointly deal with the threat of the Otsutsuki clan.”

“During the time when King Mu of the Five Tails is about to be resurrected, launch a joint attack on the headquarters of the Shell Organization in the Country of Yu, striving to nip the plan to revive the Ten Tails in the cradle.”

Jiraiya was immediately shocked by this series of major events, shaking his head and sighing.

“It’s really amazing!”

“I didn’t expect so many changes in the ninja world recently.”

“What’s the situation in Konoha now? Is everyone safe?”

Bai Jue chuckled twice and said proudly:

“Jiraiya-sama, do you think there is a master guarding Konoha, who else in the ninja world dares to provoke Konoha?”

“Even if Otsutsuki Isshiki takes action himself, I’m afraid he has to weigh it carefully!”

“Also, after you return to Konoha, you will meet several important people that you would never imagine!”

Jiraiya was stunned and asked doubtfully:

“Big shot? What big shot?”

“Is there anyone in Konoha who is more important than that boy Nezuki?”

“Well, of course, except Mito-senpai”

Bai Jue shook his head slightly and continued:

“Not Mito-sama!”

“With the help of Lord Orochimaru, the master resurrected the first and second generation Hokage, as well as Uchiha Madara, known as Shura in the ninja world.”

“The strength of Konoha now may be beyond your imagination!”
