"Yeah, okay."

"I'm in a small market town and I'll be on a mission soon. I can't feel at ease if I don't hear your voice."

"Ah?" Ino was still thinking about finding a topic, but she didn't expect that the other party had already gone straight in. If she had thought about it, her army was suddenly defeated, and there was another chaos.

"I...I don't know what to say." She regretted it after saying it.

Every time this happens, her mouth becomes clumsy. Aren't she usually very good at talking? She is polite to every customer. No matter how dull the customer who comes to buy flowers is, she can still chat with her.

But when the words came to her lips, Ino realized that some people were special beings. Just hearing his voice or even a thought could make her lose her armor.

"Then let's start simple."

The voice on the other side became lazy again, unhurried and with a hint of smile.

"...Okay." Ino held the communicator, her heart pounding. This was something she agreed with Naruto to test the stability of the communicator.

That night more than half a month ago, Naruto asked her to concentrate on making the communicator. Don't worry about the higher-ups, he would help her do the testing.

The two agreed that Naruto would contact her using a communicator far away from Konoha to test whether the function of the communicator was complete or whether there were any defects.

"Can you hear me?"

"...can..."

"Then I'll start."

"Yeah."

"Do you miss me?"

"...Huh?" Inoye was shocked, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his palms.

From that moment she knew that she would never be able to play with him.

.......

Jiraiya came back smelling of alcohol in the middle of the night, so he wasn't picky. He just washed himself and fell on the bed, sleeping until noon the next day.

The next day.

When Jiraiya told Naruto energetically how much information he had obtained about the Land of Rain, he noticed Naruto's indifferent and contemptuous eyes.

"What's your look like?"

"Lovable Immortal, is this the information you asked for?"

"What do you have in mind? Archbishop Naruto." Jiraiya's face twitched and he wanted to hang him up and give him a beating.

"You can't touch the rain in the Land of Rain. It's best to get a ninjutsu that blocks perception." Naruto said, "The leader of the Akatsuki organization is named Pain."

"The six abilities of Pain are different..."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that it only doesn't rain on Sundays in the Rain Country. If there is no shielding method, it is best to enter the Rain Country on Sunday."

"You..." Jiraiya was stunned. Such detailed information didn't look like it was made up.

"Have you already investigated it?"

"Almost." Naruto neither admitted nor denied, looking like an old fisherman sitting firmly on the fishing platform with a smile on his face, "I have more detailed news."

He didn't leak any information about the Samsara Eye and Nagato, just waiting for Jiraiya to take the bait.

Jiraiya felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Naruto, what's the news?"

"Huh?"

"Archbishop Naruto."
