"Who are you……"

It wasn't until the man took him to a room that Neji completely confirmed his suspicion.

This person is really him!

I saw the man leading Neji into the hut and taking off the clothes and hat he had been wearing.

The smile on his face was kind, and his white hair looked like a thorn from behind his shoulders.

Although he looks over fifty, his eyes already have a certain masculine aura.

"...Jiraiya-sensei?"

Neji murmured, this sentence was blurted out by Jiraiya-sensei.

In the original world, Neji did not admit that Jiraiya was his teacher, but Jiraiya was indeed the person who taught him, or guided him for a short period of time!

And this is already a minority. Most of the time, Neji is alone and relies on the system to become stronger alone.

Metkai, Kakashi, Asuma, Jiraiya... Neji can't find any more people.

These people were more or less guiding to him, and Jiraiya was also the highest-ranking and most virtuous person among them. Naturally, Neji placed all his feelings as a mentor on Jiraiya.

Unfortunately, I thought that traveling through the world of Naruto could change Jiraiya's ending, but unexpectedly Urashiki allowed himself to travel to more than forty years ago and missed the most important turning point in the world of Naruto for more than two years, Asuma and Jiraiya.

All died.

Even Kakashi died at the hands of Pain, only to be resurrected by Nagato who was completely awakened.

And Metkai almost died from the side effects of the Eight Gates, or did Neji forcibly keep his life? This also made Neji have a deep doubt. Could it be that he would not be able to have any mentor left in the world?

Especially Jiraiya's death. As a hero, he was so great, not only in terms of strength, but his character of loyalty to Konoha and his homeland was enough for Ningci to learn from throughout his life.

When we meet now, even in the dream world, he is deeply moved.

Jiraiya was also surprised when he heard Neci calling him Jiraiya teacher.

At this moment, he was staring at the thing above Neji's head - "Konoha Village forehead protector."

"These eyes, white eyes...are you...Hizashi's son?"

Jiraiya blinked, obviously looking familiar to Neji, and his thoughts seemed extremely complicated.

And how can Neji care about so much? Seeing Jiraiya has already made him think a lot. At the moment, it is better to suppress the nostalgia for his mentor and deal with the situation rationally.

So Neji explained: "Teacher Jiraiya, as one of the three ninjas, I have been looking up to you for a long time. I have wanted to call you my master for a long time! It's not that I have to become a teacher, I just express my respect for you.

!”

"By the way...why are you in Kirigakure Village?"

Neji wanted to skip this incident quickly, lest Jiraiya ask why he called him teacher...

"Is it because you are carrying out a secret mission? Oh~ I wonder why I can't find you in Konoha Village. It seems that you are carrying out a major latent mission, right?"

Neji raised his eyebrows and looked lively and active. He was quite confident in his performance.

Neji's enthusiasm was beyond Jiraiya's expectation. He couldn't respond for a while and also showed a wry smile.

"Really? You are indeed Hizashi's son! Hyuga Neji, right? You and Hizashi are very similar when they were young. You seem so reliable, but you always act well-behaved and sensible towards seniors like us. From then on,

It’s not embarrassing!”

Jiraiya smiled innocently and let out a sigh of relief.

Neji nodded, the atmosphere between the two was just right at this moment.

But it seems... each has his own agenda...

"Why are you in Kirigakure Village?"

The two asked in unison, almost at the same time.

"Hahaha! It seems that you really don't know much about me! Neji?"

Jiraiya laughed loudly.

Ningci also shrugged, just follow the local customs when entering the countryside, and simply explained: "Yes, you also know that I am just a ninja without talent. Without you just now, I might have been caught by the villagers! I'm sorry to you

I really don’t know anything. I really want to know why the legendary you appeared in Kirigakure Village. Is it because something important happened in Kirigakure Village?"

Jiraiya was still looking at Ningci. After thinking for a while, he still chose to believe Ningci for the time being.

"Haha, in that case, seeing how persistent you are, I'll just tell you my reasons first."

"Yes, just as you said..."

Jiraiya began to explain to Neji seriously.

"I have been secretly entrusted by the village to carry out major confidential S-class missions outside. So you may hear some false rumors in Konoha Village, no matter what those rumors are..."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, always paying attention to the changes in Neji's expression.

After confirming that it was correct, he continued to explain: "Of course I can't tell you the details of this mission at will. In short, I don't know much about Kirigakure Village now. I'm just tracking down a certain organization recently. I can only

So much to say."

"A certain organization..."

Neji narrowed his eyes and murmured.

It seems that Jiraiya is not hiding anything now, even if this world is different from the original world line, or it is simply a dream world, a false world...

Although everything in front of me is so real.

But this world seems to have certain development rules. Even without Obito, the Akatsuki Organization was still born.

Since Jiraiya even revealed this to himself, he can be considered a more or less trustworthy person.

Neji then told Jiraiya all the process of his mission.

Of course, I didn't tell her my secret, I just talked about the difficulties of going through the mission from the perspective of Neji in this world.

"oh……"

After Jiraiya listened, he suddenly understood.

"In other words, now you want to investigate the secrets of Kirigakure Village? Want to help your father solve problems and get the standard answers directly?"

Zabuza smiled and joked: "You are really thoughtful, kid. If you crack the secret of Kirigakure Village, your father will be impressed by you? You really have some ideas, kid!"

"Where, where..."

Faced with Jiraiya's praise, Neji still felt a little proud.

"It's just that you are really surprising. You actually gained the recognition of Shisui from ANBU so quickly, a guy who even I find difficult..."

Jiraiya concentrated and seemed a little unhappy.

Neci was startled: "Huh?"

"fine."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and chuckled softly: "By the way, since you want to investigate Kirigakure Village, let me also give you some information, right?"

After saying that, Jiraiya turned around and dug out a list from the baggage in his corner.

Handing the paper list to Neji, he explained: "This is the list of members of the Akatsuki organization that I have collected. There are not more than four people, and one of them is Zabuza!"
Chapter completed!
