Chapter 86 Main Mission 6: Simple Temporary Work

Under the pressure of Shingo, Jiraiya rushed to finish the manuscript despite injuries and wrote the update overnight.

"This is the second half." Jiraiya handed the manuscript to Shingen and said, "The first half is in the drawer at home."

Zhenyan took it and prepared to leave. After all, there were many people waiting outside and he had to hand the manuscript to the publishing house as soon as possible.

"Hey." Jiraiya called out to the person. He wanted to ask Shinyan if he knew his home address, but when his eyes fell on Shinyan's hand holding the manuscript, he suddenly stopped talking.

Jiraiya was silent for a moment. He stared at the mask on Shingon's face and suddenly said, "I know a kid. He's not a ninja, but he's very good at causing trouble for people."

Shingon stopped as he was about to leave. He looked at Jiraiya and asked with his head tilted, "Really?"

"Yeah." Jiraiya said, "Very similar to you."

"The uncle must feel very friendly when he sees me." Zhenyan said.

Jiraiya was silent again. He looked at the mask on Shingon's face. Who was behind the mask? The answer seemed to be within sight, but he chose not to continue to explore.

Jiraiya's mouth curved upwards, he touched his stomach and said, "I've been urged to eat by you all night, my stomach is flat."

Zhenyan also smiled and said, "I'll bring the food over later."

"I want fried chicken, grilled meat, and seafood, too..." Jiraiya was not polite at all, and ordered a lot of things, and finally said, "And a bottle of wine."

Shingon looked at Jiraiya, thinking that Jiraiya was injured and rushed to finish the manuscript, so he really needed to make up for it, so he nodded in agreement. But before he left to prepare, he heard Jiraiya say again: "I want the wine from last time... the one you treated me to in the Hidden Rain Village tavern."

Zhenyan took another look at the manuscript in his hand, gritted his teeth, and finally agreed.

However, Jiraiya was not finished yet. He looked at Shingon and his expression suddenly became frivolous: "Well...it would be even better if there were two more girls..."

"Uncle, don't go too far!"

Shingon looked at Jiraiya who was getting more and more demanding, and he said quietly: "I suddenly remembered that the wounded should eat light food, so it is better to avoid big fish and meat, and alcohol is not suitable for the wounded."

"Looking at it this way, it seems that there is only white porridge..."

"Hey, don't be so stingy!" Jiraiya quickly changed the subject, "At least give me a bottle of wine!"

Shingo turned and left, leaving Jiraiya with a cold and ruthless back.

After coming out of the starting space, Shingon created a shadow clone and asked the clone to prepare a light meal for the injured Jiraiya, while the original body took the manuscript to the publishing house that Jiraiya had cooperated with.

Zhenyan paid the boss to print the book as quickly as possible.

After getting Jiraiya's new work, Shingo rushed back to Konoha.

By this time, the sky in Konoha had already cleared up, and the previous rain seemed to have left no trace. Life in the village continued as usual, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

Shingon came to the Hokage's office familiarly. Tsunade was working at his desk. When she heard the noise, she looked up. At first glance, her vision seemed to be unfocused. She paused for a brief moment before her eyes really fell on the person who came.

When he saw who it was, Gangshou asked, "What trouble have you caused me again?"

It was clearly the same tone as usual, but Shingen could hear something different. He looked at the documents piled up on the Hokage's desk and the planner who was buried in official duties, and he was silent for a rare moment.

"I'm really in trouble." Zhenyan said. Tsuna couldn't help but be surprised, because she didn't expect Zhenyan to admit it. In the past, Zhenyan would say ten things back to her for every one she said, and every one of them made sense...

Tsunade turned his head and looked out the window. Everything was normal outside. The sun still rose from the east. Aliens did not invade the ninja world, and the end of the world did not come...

Retracting his gaze, Gangshou looked at Zhenyan, his expression suddenly became serious: "What on earth have you done?"

"I bought Naruto an 18+ book." Shingon said, "Sister Tsunade, if Uncle Minato and Aunt Kushina want to beat me, can you stop them for me?"

Gangshou was stunned for a moment, she raised her hand and pinched her brows, and couldn't help slamming the table and said, "Is this the reason you come to bother me?"

"Not entirely." Zhenyan walked forward and said, "If I say that I also bought a book for Sister Outsider, Sister Outsider, you won't hit me, right?"

"You kid..." Tsunayoshi's words suddenly stopped because she saw the book in Zhenyan's hand.

"Because it's Uncle Kuraya's new work, I couldn't help but buy it after I saw it." Shinon said, putting the book on the table in front of Tsunade, "Sister Tsunade, take your time reading it, I'm leaving first!"

Tsuna stared blankly at the book in front of her. Even when Shingon left, she didn't react at all. It was not until a long time later that she came to her senses, picked up the book, and went straight to Konoha's Secret Service.

Tsuna handed Jiraiya's book to the Code Club and asked them to decipher it.

There were indeed coded words in the book, and they were not specially encrypted, so the Code Department quickly deciphered them.

【Be well, don't worry. 】

Tsuna grasped the deciphered code in her hand. She clenched her teeth tightly for a long time before squeezing out a few words: "Idiot... idiot Jiraiya..."

In addition to Tsuna, Shingon also gave Naruto and Kakashi each a copy of Jiraiya's new work.

After delivering the books, Shingon strolled around the village and walked all the way to the Uchiha milk tea shop.

There happened to be customers in the milk tea shop at this time, and the shadow clone Zhenyan was greeting the customers.

"Are you three here to drink milk tea?" Shadow Clone Zhenyan asked the three people in front of him who were wearing Konoha ninja vests.

"Yes, yes..." one of the three people spoke up, "Please give us three cups of Uchiha pearl milk tea..."

However, upon hearing the guests' request, the shadow clone Zhenyan did not serve the three people milk tea, but said: "If you want to drink milk tea, you need to take a test first."

"Wh-what test?"

The shadow clone Zhenyan raised a fist and smiled at the three people in a friendly manner: "If each of you takes my punch and does not reveal your true form, I will give you milk tea."

Three people: “…………”

"Damn it!" The person who asked for milk tea earlier untied the transformation technique himself and said unwillingly, "Where did I get exposed?"

"Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon." The Shadow Clone Shingen looked at the three of them, "Didn't I tell you last time that if I catch you again, I'll let Teacher Iruka give you more homework."

Hearing this, the three of them changed their expressions instantly. Nowadays, ninja schools not only have ninja courses, but also cultural courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, and these cultural courses are simply natural enemies for children.

"This time doesn't count, we didn't get to drink milk tea!" Konohamaru said, and tried to escape from the milk tea shop with his two friends. However, as soon as they turned around, they were confronted by another Shinyan.

Zhenyan smiled at the three people and asked his shadow clone: ​​"How many times has this happened?"

"The fifth time this week." said the shadow clone.

Shingon nodded and said, "Then let Iruka-sensei give everyone five more assignments."

The three of them stared in horror, looking at the truth with an expression as if they were asking, "Are you a devil?"

"You seem very surprised." Zhenyan said with a smile, "Welcome to the milk tea shop to challenge again next time. I'll give you one more assignment each time."

Three people: “…………”

The three of them ran away screaming, as if there was a monster chasing them. It looked like they wouldn't want to drink milk tea for a while.

After scaring off the three little customers, the shadow clone lazily leaned on the counter. He looked at his original body and said, "You just won the bet, and you can't wait to serve milk tea?"

"How can you think of yourself like this?" Zhenyan couldn't help but say, "When your shadow clone was separated, did you fail to inherit all of my excellent qualities?"

"Maybe it took away all your good qualities." said the shadow clone.

Zhenyan looked at his own shadow clone and said, "It was taken away, and I didn't see it manifest in you."

The shadow clone took a cup of milk tea and drank it himself. He said slowly, "So you came here to get back your excellent quality?"

Zhenyan followed his shadow clone and got a cup of milk tea, then leaned lazily on the counter and said, "I'm here for a vacation."

"Let you go out and experience the hardship of my life in the wind and rain." Zhenyan said, and couldn't help but sigh, "Let me stay here and enjoy life."

"If you say so, I won't be polite to myself." The shadow clone instantly took over and said to his original body, "Give me ten cups of milk tea first. I want to go to the Xiao organization."

Shingon took the nine cups and reminded, "Itachi went to the moon."

"Itachi has reached the moon, I can drink for Itachi." The shadow clone said, "Ten cups of happiness."

Zhenyan pointed at the cup that the shadow clone was drinking and said, "You have already drunk it."

The shadow clone glanced at the cup in his hand and still said, "Another cup."

"Brother Obito has two identities." The shadow clone reminded Managa.

Shingon thought of Obito who took off his mask when he saw him last time, and he drank another glass in agreement.

The shadow clone left with ten cups of milk tea, satisfied.

And Zhenyan stayed in the milk tea shop as she wished and enjoyed herself for a while.

It's just that there was some unrest in the village during this period, and the investigation into Danzo Shimura had yielded results.

First, there was the Uchiha clan annihilation incident. After Tsunade learned the truth, he found Manabu and asked Manabu whether he wanted to make the matter public. After all, this was Uchiha's business, and now Manabu was the only Uchiha left in the village.

Shingon originally planned to make it public, but he changed his mind when he thought of Itachi who stayed on the moon for his family.

If we make it public now, it will definitely cause quite a stir. When Uchiha returns in the future, it will cause another shock, so it is better to wait until everyone returns before deciding how to deal with this matter.

In addition to the Uchiha clan extermination incident, Danzo Shimura was also involved in many other things.

Danzo Shimura once interfered in the affairs of the Hidden Rain Village and colluded with Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village, which eventually led to the death of Yahiko.

It was because Nagato witnessed the death of his good friend Yahiko that he finally went to the extreme and chose the peaceful path of using extreme force to suppress people, making them feel pain, and thus suppressing war.

Shingon didn't know what to say, so he created a shadow clone and gave the clone the intelligence information about the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization that Konoha had found out, and asked the clone to take it to Jiraiya.

Ever since Shingen stayed in the milk tea shop on vacation, the task of delivering meals to Jiraiya every day was given to the shadow clone.

The shadow clone took the information and went to the porridge shop to buy a bowl of porridge, then went to the starting space through the portal. Seeing that it was another bowl of porridge, Jiraiya couldn't help but want to complain, but before he could open his mouth, Zhenyan handed him a piece of information.

Jiraiya took it subconsciously and asked Shingon, "What is this?"

Shingon didn't explain, but gestured for Jiraiya to look at it himself.

Jiraiya flipped through the documents in his hand, and after reading them line by line, he fell silent...

Jiraiya never imagined that the culprit who caused Nagato to become what he is now was actually a ninja from Konoha.

At this time, Jiraiya understood Nagato a little, but even though he understood, he still could not agree with Nagato's ideas about peace.

Since Jiraiya had once taught Nagato, he had a responsibility towards him. Now that he knew that the tragedy of that year was related to Konoha, Jiraiya could no longer just sit there and do nothing.

Thinking about this, Jiraiya asked Shingon: "You left me here, do you agree with Nagato's idea?"

"Nagato-nii once asked me a similar question," Shingen said. He found that the ideas of the master and his disciple were sometimes quite similar.

"What's your answer?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"I think we should seek common ground while reserving differences," said Zhenyan.

"As a teacher, I cannot just watch my students go astray and do nothing." Jiraiya obviously has his own persistence, never giving up is his way of ninja.

"So we have to fight and kill?" Shingon felt that ninjas were sometimes really stubborn. He looked at Jiraiya and couldn't help asking, "Is it because the ninja's mouth is used to release ninjutsu that the communication function has degenerated?"

Jiraiya: “…………”

"Do you think I didn't communicate with Nagato?" He only took action after he realized that he couldn't convince Nagato.

"There are many ways to communicate. If you can't be direct, you can adopt a roundabout strategy." Zhenyan shared his experience, "You can pretend to agree with the other party's ideas and join the other party's team. Then, in the long-term interaction, you can subtly correct the other party's thoughts and recruit the other party's team. In this way, even if the other party's thoughts cannot be changed, the team is yours, so how can the other party cause trouble?"

Jiraiya: “…………”

Jiraiya stared at Shingon, and he suddenly asked, "So this is what you are doing?"

"Ah?" Zhenyan didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to him. He had never thought about becoming a leader. "I'm just a temporary worker."

Jiraiya: “…………”!
