Chapter 268：

Orochimaru was originally curious about the Rinnegan.

After he saw the information passed down from the third generation, he became even more interested in the Samsara Eye.

But Natsuki told Orochimaru that he would have the Samsara Eye for him to study in the future.

Orochimaru then calmly started the work at hand.

As for asking him to inform Jiraiya.

"I have received the things. You tell the old man that I am too busy here and will not go through the meeting. Just let me know the results after the meeting in the afternoon."

"Jiraiya, I will send someone to inform you, please go down."

The ANBU responded, then went back to resume his duties.

Orochimaru had many thoughts running through his head.

Then he called Minato over.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Minato was still dressed as an Anbu and wearing a mask.

Recently, in addition to practicing, he has given thunder **** marks to some more important people.

In Xia Mu's words, it means being prepared for any disaster. When necessary, this can save lives.

Orochimaru asked Minato to mark everyone with the Flying Thunder God mark, which will definitely be used in the future.

Orochimaru had no personal grudge against Minato back then. He and Minato failed in their competition to become the Fourth Hokage, and he never held any grudge against Minato.

The person he holds a grudge against is the Third Hokage.

Although at the beginning, Orochimaru enjoyed the feeling of commanding Minato.

But as time went by, after all of Minato's advantages were revealed, Orochimaru... enjoyed the feeling of using Minato even more.

The three generations have all been leaving some government affairs to Orochimaru, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Orochimaru can handle it, for him, it wastes a lot of time.

He simply left it to Minato, who completed everything beautifully.

Who doesn’t like someone who is calm, smart, responsible, and reliable.

Orochimaru gave all the information given by the Third Generation to Minato.

"Take a look, and then go find Jiraiya. Bring him the news and ask him to find the old man."

Minato took the information into his hand and started flipping through it.

While Minato was flipping through the information, Orochimaru looked at Minato.

Because he wanted to hide his identity, Minato covered himself tightly.

I feel hot when I look at it.

"Minato, go back and prepare all your disguise items. You may have to walk in front of others in the future."

After Minato read the information, he also knew why Jiraiya was informed.

Hearing Orochimaru's instructions, he nodded.

"Okay, I understand Master Orochimaru. I'll go back and prepare. I'm going to find Mr. Jiraiya first."

…

Konoha Street.

Jiraiya fell asleep in a certain store.

Because the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure could easily lead to a new ninja war.

So Jiraiya could only stay in the village.

But the Hyuga clan kept a close eye on Jiraiya.

It left Jiraiya unable to find materials.

All I can do is go out and have some fun by myself, and then drink to pass the time.

Although Jiraiya fell asleep.

But as a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, if anyone approaches him, he will wake up instantly.

Unless this person is a very familiar person.

Jiraiya was hugging him from left to right in his sweet dream.

Laughing happily.

But found that the whole world was shaking.

It seemed like someone was putting a hand on his shoulder.

Someone! ?

Jiraiya jumped up instantly.

Only to find that the opposite side was Orochimaru's guard "Number One".

Jiraiya wondered why he didn't wake up.

While asking: "No. 1, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the lipstick marks all over Jiraiya's face, Minato sighed in his heart:

"The teacher is still so crooked, no wonder Tsunade-sama doesn't like you."

Handing the third generation's information to Jiraiya, Minato changed his voice and said:

"This is what Hokage-sama asked Orochimaru-sama to bring to you."

Although Jiraiya was a little confused about what just happened, he was quickly attracted by the information in his hand.

"this!…"

"How can it be!?"

Jiraiya suddenly stood up and was about to find clothes.

A pair of hands handed over the clothes, as if they had practiced.

But Jiraiya's mind was all on the information and he didn't care about anything else. He said thank you and put on his clothes and went out.

Minato saw Jiraiya's leaving figure and smiled.

…

Chapter 312 Looking for the Child of Destiny

Konoha Village.

Jiraiya hurried to the Hokage's office.

Yes, it was through the window again.

The Third Hokage is already waiting for him.

This time, when the Third Hokage saw Jiraiya climbing through the window, he had no time to blame him.

The third generation's thoughts are all on the identity of the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

"Old man, did the information just arrive?"

The third generation snorted: "This information was delivered last night."

Jiraiya had a stern look on his face, knowing that Sandai was dissatisfied with him going out to drink.

But he didn't expect that the matter would be related to him.

But Jiraiya is also thick-skinned and will not care about the dissatisfaction of the Third Hokage.

He did not explain, but pointed to the picture on the information and said: "Old man, this is the Samsara Eye."

The Third Hokage took a deep breath from his pipe:

"So, this person is Nagato?"

Jiraiya was a little confused at this time and said:

"No, this person is not Nagato, this person is Yahiko."

"Yahiko?"

The Third Hokage frowned.

Because Xiaonan bombed the Hokage Rock before, the Third Hokage went to investigate what happened that year.

Combined with the news Jiraiya got.

"Isn't Yahiko dead?"

Jiraiya was also very confused:

"I don't know what's going on, but these eyes must be the eyes of reincarnation."

The Third Hokage called Jiraiya here just to check the intelligence with him. Now it seems that the intelligence cannot be verified.

"Could it be that Nagato was the one who died and gave the Rinnegan to Yahiko?"

Sandai guessed.

Jiraiya thought of Xiaonan's words, but he didn't think Xiaonan was lying to him.

That would be self-contradictory.

"I don't know what's going on."

Jiraiya had no choice but to return to the third generation like this.

The third generation did not care about:

"Whether he is Nagato or Yahiko, the ability of the Samsara Eye has been clearly stated in the intelligence."

"As your disciple, he has gone astray now. Don't you want to bring him back to the right path?"

The Third Hokage said earnestly.

The third generation had the idea of ​​​​the Rinnegan before, but due to Danzo's defection, the matter was shelved.

The key issue is that legends are legends, and no one knows whether the real Samsara Eye is strong or not.

Now this time on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Water, Tiandao Pain killed thousands of people with one strike, which made the third Hokage feel hot.

There are rumors circulating in the village, and Konoha has been losing experts in recent years.

If the Rinnegan Eye can be summoned to Konoha, then how strong Konoha will be.

How much will your reputation improve?

As he approaches his resignation, Sandai also wants to earn a good reputation for himself.

After all, he is resigning, not dead.

Jiraiya thought, he understood the Third Hokage's plan.

If the reincarnation eye is there, Uchiha won't have anything to worry about.

He had really wanted to go and get Xiaonan and the others back, but then a series of things tripped him up in Konoha.

"I understand, old man, since Yunyin in the Kingdom of Water has been defeated, this battle will basically not be fought again."

"I'm also going to leave the village and go find them."

The third generation was very reassured about Jiraiya. As long as Jiraiya was interested in him, he would definitely be able to find him.

The third generation thought for a while and said to Jiraiya:

"Jiraiya, I am ready to abdicate."

Jiraiya was not too surprised. What the three generations had done for Orochimaru in the recent past made Jiraiya have speculations in his heart.

In fact, there are not many suitable people who can be Hokage in Konoha now.

The third generation is indeed old.
