Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 49 Let's rename Konoha Village to Shirazuki Village.

No, no, that's not right.

Jiraiya shook his head, realizing he was indeed starting to get a bit of dementia.

How could Nagato have undergone a sex change?

How old is Nagato now?

Nagato was ten years old when he left Amegakure, but that doesn't mean he's that old now.

"That voice just now really sounded like Konan... but who is that man next to Konan? And who is that little girl from the Uzumaki clan...?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin, leaned against the wooden wall outside the women's hot spring pool, and began to ponder and deduce.

"Let's assume that the voice we just heard really did belong to Konan. Then here's the problem..."

If Nagato had appeared, Jiraiya wouldn't have found it strange. But it turned out to be another stranger, and based on Jiraiya's years of experience writing novels and gathering material for emotional stories, the relationship between the two was definitely not shallow.

Therefore, that child from the Uzumaki clan has absolutely no connection with Konan.

If you eliminate all the wrong options, the remaining option, no matter how outrageous, must be the truth.

"That's Nagato and Yahiko's child."

Jiraiya clenched his fist, glanced at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said his analysis results with a blank expression.

Yahiko is definitely a boy, and Jiraiya can confirm that too, since the two of them urinated together.

But Nagato is very shy and has never gone to the toilet in front of anyone.

Also, it's very difficult to distinguish between boys and girls when they are young, both by their bodies and voices...

Furthermore, even if Nagato is indeed a boy, it doesn't mean he can't have children.

It is also mentioned in "Kimman Paradise," a recent hit novel in the ninja world written by a descendant of the famous author Jiraiya.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya did not chase after them to investigate further.

The reason he returned to Konoha was because the Third Hokage and his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, told him that the Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage had all gathered in Konoha, with the former two bringing a large number of genin with them. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he was specially invited back to oversee the situation.

If that really was Konan, it wouldn't be too late to recognize her after the Chunin Exams.

-

"The Third Hokage of Konoha often uses the Telescope Technique, the one we just glimpsed while monitoring the exam hall, to spy on the women's bathhouse."

Besides the Third Hokage, your teacher Jiraiya also had this quirk.

Furthermore, he dislikes using ninjutsu and thoroughly enjoys the thrill of being discovered and chased.

On the other side, Bai Mo explained to Xiao Nan why they couldn't go to the public bathhouse and hot springs in Konoha.

"What?!"

Before Minami could react, Karin, who was following behind, was startled.

She was just a little unhappy that Bai Mo wouldn't let her take a bath.

Now that he heard that two great silver demons were hiding in Konoha Village, he instantly lost all interest in going to the bathhouse.

How can anyone enjoy watching members of the opposite sex shower? That's absolutely perverted!

Karin felt utterly contemptuous of it.

"Then let's be patient for a few more days and wash it when we get back to the village."

Xiao Nan knew that what Bai Mo said was probably true, so she could only comfort Xiang Lin.

After strolling around for a while and eating a bowl of Konoha's signature Ichiraku Ramen, the three followed the crowd leaving the examination hall to the second examination hall.

The first round of the competition is over; now it's time for the second round of elimination matches.

The Forest of Death, also known as Orochimaru's Fish Frying Contest.

Since he had just mentioned to Konan not to take a bath in Konoha, Bai Mo was also going to remind Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi.

"Mizukage, Tsuchikage, I forgot to tell you something yesterday: in Konoha, or even in the Land of Fire, never go to the women's bathhouse or soak in the hot springs."

Bai Mo approached the two of them and got straight to the point.

—Ignoring the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was walking alongside them, and Orochimaru, who was impersonating the Fourth Kazekage.

"Huh? Why? Is their service bad here?"

"Is the water quality still the problem?"

Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi were both somewhat puzzled.

"It's said that the Third Hokage has been somewhat repressed since losing his wife many years ago, and he spends his days using that telescope technique he just used to spy on people..."

"Ahem! My friend from Amegakure, you can't slander my innocence out of thin air."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face instantly turned red, and he hurriedly interrupted to refute.

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, would linger outside the women's bathroom every day to gather material for his 'Little Emperor' fanfiction."

Bai Mo ignored the third generation's rebuttal and continued speaking.

"This is true."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, giving his approval.

—It's definitely not okay to say no.

If both of them deny it, then the Mizukage and Tsuchikage will definitely become suspicious.

On the contrary, if he affirmed the latter, it would show that he, as the Third Hokage, did not disregard the facts and favor Konoha's image, and would be willing to admit even the mistakes made by his own disciples.

Naturally, they wouldn't believe the first one.

"A toad dies but a monkey dies. Sorry, Jiraiya."

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently apologized to Jiraiya.

As for whether Jiraiya's reputation will spread to Iwagakure and Kirigakure, that's not his concern.

"Konoha is just too... you know? Yesterday we even encountered two perverted... women harassing him."

Hei Tu is young, and there are some words he's still embarrassed to say.

"what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment.

The other party has already experienced harassment incidents?

And it's still being harassed by NV?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was dumbfounded. He had lived in Konoha for decades, how come he had never encountered such a good thing as being harassed by a pervert?

"Third Hokage, look how monstrous your Konoha is, you might as well rename it White Turbid Village."

Mei Terumi spoke softly.

"Mizukage! What indecent things are you saying?!"

Kurotsuchi stared at Mei Terumi in astonishment.

"Little sister Heitu, what are you thinking?"

Mei Terumi raised her hand, coating it with a layer of chakra, and spat out a mouthful of thick, white fluid...

Then let the white fluid slide down your palm and onto the ground.

The white turbidity emitted a hissing, corrosive sound.

"I was referring to Lava Release. What I meant was that Konoha should be incorporated into our Kirigakure. Did anyone get the wrong idea just now?"

Terumi Mei asked rhetorically.

"..."

Hei Tu's lips twitched.

"No, no, hehe."

Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed that these two young Kage had rather unpleasant personalities. Was he out of touch with the times?

Fengying is still better.

He's a father now, after all, but he's very composed and hasn't said a word.

"...That's enough for you to know."

Bai Mo was speechless at Terumi Mei's actions.

"Hokage, is it alright if we go to watch the battle from above the exam hall later, as long as it doesn't interfere with the exam?"

Bai Mo asked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hmm? No problem, as long as it doesn't affect the exam."

Suddenly returning to a serious topic, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost didn't react.

"I'm not going to go see it."

Fengying spoke.

The second round of multi-player elimination matches still didn't attract much attention.

Most of the spectators were waiting for the one-on-one elite duels.

As Kazekage prepared to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't notice anything amiss.

Only Bai Mo knew that Orochimaru was preparing to go and bully the weak.
