Chapter 783
"I will hire Konoha ninjas to protect myself on the way back."
Hire, protect.
These two words are so weird when used on someone.
Do they know what kind of monster they are protecting? Anyway, in Xiaonan's short life, she has never seen a ninja with such an exaggerated style.
And when she heard that her teacher was going to hire Konoha's ninja to protect herself, Konan was happy about that ninja's fate.
Because another person is about to fall into the clutches of the teacher... No, he is being guided by fate.
"What kind of look are you looking at? It's just that we in the Country of Rain are suffering. In order to let everyone live a good life, we can only do this."
"Yeah, yeah, the teacher is right."
"It's good that you can understand my teacher's intentions. By the way, don't forget to say goodbye to Mr. Jiraiya when you leave. If he wants to find an interesting author to chat with, you can always introduce him to him."
…
As a teacher as well, Teacher Noah’s style is really pragmatic, and he never misses an opportunity.
But it’s really interesting that Mr. Jiraiya can also become the honorary leader of the Akatsuki organization.
"OK."
Konan went to Jiraiya to say goodbye.
Jiraiya, who had a very free and easy outlook on life when it came to the reunion and separation of his disciples, was not very sad. He was lucky to see them all well.
"I am very pleased to see that you have been fulfilling your childhood dream of being a teacher. It is really great to have you in the Land of Rain."
"Yahiko's views were a bit radical when he was a child. Keep an eye on him when you go back."
"Letting everyone feel the same pain will not bring peace. Bringing my fundamental ninja biography to him is the teacher's best work."
Xiaonan happily accepted several books of Nene Shinobiden. Most likely, the teacher who couldn't sell the books in bookstores started giving them away.
As for Yahiko... Don't worry, Jiraiya-sensei, he has given up on his previous childish thoughts.
To change the world, we must completely destroy the old world. It is too childish to let everyone feel pain.
Jiraiya feels that he may not have done anything great in these years, but his life has become happier.
The eldest disciple became the fourth generation Hokage and had just begun to lead the village to rise again.
His village began to regain its vitality visibly to the naked eye.
And the few disciples from other villages who were recruited later are also working hard for the oath to bring peace to the Kingdom of Rain.
Especially since there is a son of destiny that he is optimistic about among them. It seems that the whole world does not need him to continue to work hard.
Maybe the only thing I'm more concerned about is the destroyer of worlds in the mouth of the great toad fairy.
I don't know if Orochimaru's reasoning is reliable, but this does not prevent him from continuing to wander in the ninja world.
There are a few things to do before leaving.
"Xiaonan, can you recommend the author of "Gadfly" to me? I think this work is very excellent and I want to learn from it."
Jiraiya was still honest and consciously admitted that the novels he wrote were not as good as others.
After reading it repeatedly, he thought he could draw on some ideas to complete his work.
Well, Jiraiya still hasn't given up on his fundamental ninja tradition. He is not the kind of person who gives up easily.
Instead, I felt that adding a more realistic angle to the second book of Gensho Ninden to highlight Naruto's perseverance to never give up would also be more resonant.
Of course Xiaonan had no problem with this request, and she saved herself the effort of hinting.
Regarding the visit, Konan also followed Teacher Noah's instructions and relayed it to Jiraiya, of course in his own voice.
Although Mr. Adam is a travel author, someone who can write such profound works must have some rules.
The first appointment was very formal, with certain requirements from gifts to location and time.
This is just raising one's status. It would be very rude to simply agree to such a temporary visit.
Asuma didn't have to do this because the other party was young and would have a natural resistance to such red tape interactions.
Moreover, Noah was just discussing romantic affairs as an ordinary friend, so he had to have a good sense of proportion.
Jiraiya is different. People who have been in the ninja world for many years still know some rules more or less.
Since you are asking for advice, you still have to be more serious. The master is the teacher.
If Noah comes up and sticks to the other party enthusiastically, he will only think that he has other intentions. After being more vigilant, he will be in a passive state.
Jiraiya met the travel writer Adam for the first time in an ordinary tea room.
Out of ninja instinct, he frowned when he felt the breath of the people in the room through the bamboo curtain, which seemed to be the breath of a young man.
Will the author who can write the gadfly be a young man? How can it be.
So Jiraiya opened the curtain with scrutiny and vigilance. The person who caught his eye was indeed a young man, but the work was definitely written by him.
Because of the eyes!
That kind of look that has experienced many vicissitudes of life and is full of wisdom is not something that young people can have. It reminded him of those mountain masters of the school he had seen in the Land of Fire.
Of course, I always feel that the eyes of those school leaders are a bit cloudy in comparison.
There is a fire in Adam's eyes, just like the fire returning from hell in the eyes of the protagonist in Gadfly.
It seems that he has gone through countless hardships and perseverance to develop such a will, and even when he looked at it, he still felt a little short of breath.
It is simply unbelievable. You must know how to move your energy and nourish your body.
Without pretense and restraint, most people will be in awe when they see you due to your status and strength.
But the other party's fearless and majestic attitude can actually fight against others and even overwhelm him. He is an amazing person.
Moreover, the aura exuding from this author's body is very weird, somewhere between dangerous and non-dangerous, but there is no feeling of chakra.
It was so mysterious that Jiraiya's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to know the true origin of Mr. Adam in front of him.
There is absolutely no way he is an ordinary travel writer.
The reason why Noah didn't pretend to be an ordinary person is because ordinary disguises can no longer fool such an expert.
Orochimaru can sense Noah's abnormality in his own way, and Jiraiya can do the same.
Chapter 30 The beginning of deception and Liudao’s helplessness
If the chakra system is not good, there is also a senjutsu system. The only man among the three ninjas who has mastered senjutsu should not be underestimated.
Moreover, it would be strange for an author who traveled to various countries to have no strength at his side.
At the same time, there is no need to hide the injuries on his body, which can dispel the other party's suspicion and pave the way for hiring Konoha ninjas as bodyguards in the future.
It's not that Noah is too cautious, but that the profession of ninja is so suspicious by nature. On the contrary, it is better to play freely with half-truths and half-falsities.
This time, my character is an explorer who hopes for world peace, a character who leads Jiraiya to change his perspective.
"Hahahahaha."
First there was a heroic laugh, and Jiraiya used laughter to cover up the surprised expression at the moment they just met.
Noah was a little disappointed not to see the super awkward fairy dance.
The other party's vigilance is still quite high. Because he feels threatened, he still maintains his daily posture that can adjust his body shape at any time.
That's true, it's less than a year since the war ended. Even if Jiraiya escapes again, he won't get it right now.
In the end, Jiraiya still focused on asking for advice on the works, and the identity of the other party can be explored in subsequent conversations.
"Mr. Adam, I have read your works...I am..."
There was nothing new in the regular beginning, and Noah greeted the toad fairy very reservedly.
Both parties communicate equally as authors.
After a brief introduction to each other and expressing his admiration for the gadfly, Jiraiya asked a few questions with a skeptical attitude.
It is nothing more than the background of the work and the opportunity for its creation, so there is nothing wrong with this question.
Anyone who sees such a profound work will wonder under what background this book was created.
What's more, it would be strange not to ask more questions about Noah who doesn't look like an ordinary person.
What Noah is waiting for is questioning. Only by exchanging more works can he take control of the direction in his own hands.
The first two worlds have provided him with enough resources to make up a very good little story.
"I was originally supposed to be a scholar and traveler. To put it bluntly, I had some ability to protect myself before I was injured."
"I have seen the sunset in the desert, seen the mountains towering into the clouds, and even crossed the boundless sea."
"I have unearthed the secrets of an ancient country 800 years ago, and entered a closed ancient city isolated from the world, not to mention countless capitals with various styles and countless worlds in the world."
"It's just because of some accidents...so I want to tell what I have seen and heard in the context of this world while I am still alive."
"The Gadfly was my first book."
The other party has actually traveled to so many countries and collected so much historical and mythological materials.
He has also observed various aspects of life and all walks of life. Is this why the work is more realistic?
I’ve learned, I’ve learned, this time it’s my attitude towards writing.
So what I observe the most is... Huh? That's not good, izakaya... style street... hot spring hotel... little sister... big... Tsunade...
If you can't think about it, you should turn your mind back to serious communication.
Jiraiya is still in the early stages of creation, and he has not yet discovered that he has the instinctive talent to write a series of masterpieces.
Now continue to listen to Noah’s lies.
"The inspiration for the work is based on the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Tang. Both countries have strong religious atmospheres."
"Especially since the Kingdom of Ghosts is still a country that integrates politics and religion. The country is managed by a legendary miko. It is said that she has the ability to see the future and is unparalleled in beauty."
"Many ancient tribes also have myths and legends from that era that have been passed down, and they have become a kind of family heritage."
"As for the political system, it refers to the setting of the Great Shrine of the Goddess Mao more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the power of religion should have reached a peak."
After finishing the information about the background of the story, Jiraiya felt that he had learned a lot.
"Beautiful witch..."
He was met with a look of disdain from Noah on the opposite side. I have said so much, but you are so good at focusing on the key points?
"No, hahaha, I'm just curious about the prophecy ability."
"According to records, witches can only predict things related to themselves. I have not continued to study the deeper secrets."
Well, Jiraiya felt bad that Mr. Adam didn't continue studying miko.
It turns out that there is so much humanistic knowledge in this world that I never knew. Although he is already considered a master in his own right in the ninja world, in the cultural world he is just a student.
Wandering around, he never paid attention to the historical and cultural background that seemed to him fascinating. This was the gap.
Moreover, he had only heard about the legend of the Goddess Mao from the Great Toad Immortal, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him also knew about it.
Seeing that Jiraiya was interested, Noah told this guy some 'hearsay'.
"I also pieced together the story about the Goddess of Mao based on the fragments I saw in the library of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the Kingdom of Ghosts, and other countries. I can tell you briefly, but don't take it seriously."
"Yeah, I understand."
The topic was a bit confusing, but Jiraiya said it didn't matter. Adam, the author, had opened the door to a new world for himself.
"Legend has it that the 'Goddess of Mao' came from outside the sky thousands of years ago and brought peace to the world with the power of the gods."
"According to my research, it seems that the dividing line between the era of ninjas and samurai is that time, so I would boldly guess that the chakra used by your ninjas appeared during that time period."
"Of course, I think the so-called goddess refers to the symbolic meaning of religious theocracy overriding the daimyo in that era, not a real person."
"Later, the power returned to the daimyo's hands, and the goddess disappeared from the world."
"Back to the story, the goddess gave birth to two children with the blessings and prayers of the people. It is said that one of the children was named Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
"That is, the founder of the legendary Ninja Sect, Sage of Six Paths."
Jilai wasn't too surprised after hearing this. There were too many legends of the Six Paths in the ninja world.
