At the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade furrowed her brows while listening to Shizune read out the reports of Team Kakashi and Guy.
'It's a bit of a hassle ...'
"Shizune, did Shiki Ryuu do something that could be considered hostile to us afterwards?" - Tsunade
"No.not as I know.." - Shizune.
"Haha! You're too worried. Despite everything that happened, he is still a former Konoha shinobi, but more importantly, I do not feel the darkness within him like Orochimaru." Jiraiya suddenly appeared leaning against the door while saying that.
"Sigh.this is why I'm so worried.you won't know because you didn't interact much with him back then, but with his shameless and reckless personality he can make your life difficult. desires..."
"Well, he is indeed a unique person. Anyway, since we are discussing this topic, I have to report something." - Jiraiya suddenly became serious.
"?"
"You know, when I was connecting intel about Orochimaru, I found out that he was going to meet Eiji and Sasuke." - Jiraiya
"What's the reason? They are like dogs and cats, even more so than Konoha with Orochimaru.." - Tsunade.
"I don't know why they will meet, but Orochimaru is amassing an immense power." - Jiraiya
"... is it? You report how Sasuke destroyed many hiding places, so Orochimaru probably couldn't ignore the damage and wanted to finish it and used some bait to get them to agree ... but shouldn't they know it's a trap? Given that it was Shiki Ryuu, there was no way they did not know as well that Orochimaru was gathering his troops.." - Tsunade.
"Hmm.i agree. This makes no sense to either side.so what are you going to do?" - Jiraiya
"Do you know the date and location of the meeting?" - Tsunade
"This is something that is kept secret by both Shiki Ryuu and Orochimaru, so only a few people know about it." - Jiraiya.
"Huh... let me repeat: can you find it?"
"Hehehe, who do you think I am for? I am the great Jiraiya, the lord of frogs and one of the legendary Sannins!" - Jiraiya makes one of his iconic Kabuki poses.
"Yes, yes, just do it quickly: We can't ignore such an incident, so I plan to send Team Kakashi there." - Tsunade
"Don't you think it's time they found out about Sasuke? After all he is part of their team." - Tsunade
"If you think that's a good idea, I won't go further.but is it certain that for such an event one team is enough?" - Jiraiya
"Of course not. With the extra energy we get after Danzo's death, we don't have to skimp. I plan to send the entire Anbu army with them." - Tsunade
"It looks good, but let me give you some advice. This is an event between Shiki Ryuu and Orochimaru, so do not interfere until there is a good reason to do so." - Jiraiya
"I know that." - Tsunade
In Amegakure, at the highest point of the Pain tower, a space distortion suddenly appeared.
Even without looking, Pain knew that Obito who teleported with Kamui came here: "Aren't you traveling with Itachi and Kisame?"
"I told them I had diarrhea and teleported from the toilet, so they didn't know." - Obito
"What are you here for?" - Pain
"I'm sure you've heard of it from Zetsu, but it looks like an interesting event is about to happen."
"It has nothing to do with us."
"We want to deal with Orochimaru for some time now, and now that the 'Lost Hokage' is here as well, isn't this the perfect opportunity to deal with the two of them at once?"
"It's not like you ... what are you really looking for?"
"You brought me there. It's because Sasuke Uchiha will be there too, so send Hidan and Kakuzu there to screw things up so Sasuke can get out of it all..."
Pain did not reply, but Obito was confident he would do as he said, so he started teleporting with Kamui away.
Konan, who was watching in silence, knew that with Hidan, Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and Shiki Ryuu gathering at the same location, it would result in an extremely chaotic battle!
