[V2] - 63. Want to Create a New Ninja World

---

"I'm a frontline reporter, currently on the front lines."

"Just now, an important message came through from a frontline ninja."

"Jiraiya-sama from Konoha... has been killed in action!"

"Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, a renowned powerhouse in the Ninja World, student of the Third Hokage, carried out countless dangerous missions. During the Second Ninja World War, he fought side by side with his partners against the 'Demi-God of the Land of Rain'—Hanzo of the Salamander—without retreating a single step, securing a key opportunity for Konoha and ultimately contributing to victory in the war."

"His entire life was dedicated to protecting Konoha."

"He was also a famous literary figure in the Ninja World, author of The Tale of Ninja Perseverance, The Ninja Continent, Icha Icha Paradise, and more—amassing over a hundred million fans. He was also Vice President of the Konoha Square Dance Association, a Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku, a renowned racing driver, and the mentor of the Fourth Hokage..."

"Now, let us observe a moment of silence for Jiraiya-sama's passing."

"Rest in peace, Jiraiya-sama!"

"May there be no pyramid schemes in the Pure Land!"

"Safe travels!"

Instantly, images of candles flooded the internet, as everyone mourned this suddenly fallen powerhouse of Konoha.

After all, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha were idols for many ninja~

Powerful and iconic figures!

Who would have thought—

The war had just begun...

And one of the top figures of the era, one of Konoha's Sannin—Jiraiya-sama—was already gone.

"I've already sent word back to Konoha that Jiraiya sacrificed himself for the Ninja World!" Nara Shikaku hung up the phone, sighed, and said to Uchiha Yuto, "The Ninja World will never forget Jiraiya-sama. Once the war ends and his body is recovered, there will surely be a proper funeral. He was..." He looked up, "a hero of Konoha!!!"

"Ah~ I can't believe the Pervy Sage just died like that!" Kushina, next to him, sighed too, nodding, "Minato must be devastated. If I'd known earlier that the Pervy Sage wanted to take Naruto as his student, I wouldn't have kicked him out. Honestly... that guy was pretty amazing!"

"Jiraiya-sama..." Kakashi also looked forward with a complicated expression. Because of his status as a Jinchuriki, he couldn't join the frontlines and could only stay in the rear.

Yet who would've expected—

In just this short time, even one of the Sannin had fallen.

Perhaps... this is the cruelty of war!

"A true hero..." Roshi, who was also being protected by Konoha, sighed as well, his gaze cloudy. "I didn't expect... even people of our generation are starting to fade away."

The entire camp was instantly filled with sorrow.

Countless people mourned in their hearts for the legendary Konoha ninja—Jiraiya-sama!

Yuto sighed, his eyes deep as he stared ahead, pausing to reflect before saying, "We should at least build a cenotaph!" After a brief pause, his voice was tinged with sorrow. "I'm afraid... they might not even be able to recover his body."

In the current situation...

It would be strange if Orochimaru doesn't scatter Jiraiya's ashes!

...

"Jiraiya-sensei, you're not dead?!"

"No! It might be Impure World Reincarnation! We must stay vigilant!"

"Orochimaru, you..." Hearing Tsunade's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand trembled again as he looked up at Orochimaru. "You won't even let go of Jiraiya's corpse?!"

"..." ×2

What is going on?

Jiraiya clutched his chest, struggled to stand, and looked at Tsunade, Minato, and Sarutobi Hiruzen in utter confusion.

Wasn't he just on an infiltration mission?

How long had it even been?!

Why does it seem like... he's already dead?

At that moment—

Sensing the life force still in Jiraiya, Tsunade froze, then suddenly realized... Jiraiya was indeed still alive!

"You idiot, what are you doing?!" Tsunade punched Jiraiya hard in the chest, shouting in anger, "You're not dead! Then why the hell did people say you were?! Everyone was so worried!"

"Cough cough cough... I never said that!" Jiraiya wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Tsunade. "When did I say I was dead?!"

As he finished—

He glanced at Tsunade, then at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose gaze was darting around, and finally looked at... Minato, who had a wry smile on his face.

"What... is going on here?"

"Well... haha~" Minato let out an awkward laugh, scratched his head, and said sheepishly, "We all thought you had died. Who would've thought you'd still be... Well, that's just so like Jiraiya-sensei!"

"???"

What are you even talking about?

Before Jiraiya could ask what they meant—

Tsunade gave him another punch to the chest and scolded, "You idiot! If nothing happened to you, why did you send out Orochimaru's dancing video?! Now the entire Ninja World's seen it!"

As the words fell—

Orochimaru's mouth twitched.

This was truly terrible news~

Sure enough, he really should've just killed that idiot earlier!

"Hahaha~ So that's what happened!" Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Jiraiya also laughed awkwardly, his eyes drifting. Then, taking a deep breath, he looked at Tsunade seriously and said, "That really was an accident! An accident!"

"Alright! Enough chit-chat!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, urging them to pay attention to the current situation. Then he turned around, facing the First and Second Hokage, and gave an embarrassed smile, "First Hokage-sama, Second Hokage-sama..."

In the end, he said nothing more and directly turned his gaze to Orochimaru, his eyes filled with complexity. "I didn't think... you'd really go this far."

"Long time no see, old man!"

"Stop this, Orochimaru!"

"You think I can still go back?"

"No matter what, you are still my student." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and looked firmly at Orochimaru. "Come back with me! I'll atone for everything with you!"

"No no no." Orochimaru also shook his head. The smiling expression on his face disappeared in an instant. He pointed to the big screen behind him and said with a blank expression, "You think I can still go back after that?"

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the screen, and in that moment, he understood everything. He glared fiercely at Jiraiya, who was grinning awkwardly, then let out an embarrassed smile, gave two fake coughs, and hesitantly said, "Actually... your dancing was really quite good! Really! Sensei saw it and thought it was very impressive!"

As the words fell—

Orochimaru: ...

A bunch of idiots!

He already said that wasn't him dancing at all!

Instantly, a strange black aura surrounded him as he waved his hand and roared, "Kill! Kill them! Erase it all, damn it!"

This Ninja World might as well be destroyed!

He wants to create a new Ninja World!

...

"There's intense fighting going on in there!"

Countless people turned their attention to that final battlefield.

At that moment—

The ground trembled and mountains shook. Countless peaks collapsed and caves were buried.

There had already been loud noises coming from that direction earlier, but now... in just a short while, the battle had become this intense, as if the mountains themselves were about to be torn apart!

It was clear—

The Fourth Hokage and the others were engaged in an extremely fierce battle inside.

Sasuke furrowed his brows as he glanced at the final battlefield. He paused slightly, a conflicted expression in his eyes.

But in the end... after looking at the unconscious Jinchuriki on the mountain peak, he let out a helpless sigh.

He decided to rescue the Jinchuriki first.

Although he had confidence in the battle inside, if Otsutsuki Urashiki really absorbed all the Tailed Beasts' chakra, who knew what unexpected things might happen?

Especially since Black Zetsu was still lurking somewhere around here, unknown and hidden!

So, this battle had to end as soon as possible!

"Let's bring this fight to an end right there!"

With those words—

He leapt forward, jumping toward the mountain peak.
