"Jiraiya-sama, you're exaggerating," Kai said with a casual smile.
"I just wanted to be a lazy bum, just like you, writing some erotica. What a carefree life. If I hadn't been drafted into the war, I wouldn't have caused all this trouble."
As he spoke, Kai sighed helplessly. "Unfortunately, I'm soft-hearted and kind. I couldn't help but intervene."
Looking at Kai, who seemed completely unconcerned, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment. These words weren't much different from what Minato Namikaze had mentioned.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the outcome Jiraiya wanted.
"Kai, you should know that sometimes, once you're exposed, you can't go back. There are many times when you need to make a choice," Jiraiya said solemnly.
"This time, I'm back to find out what you think will happen to Konoha in this Third Shinobi World War."
The battle at Kannabi Bridge is about to begin.
In this situation, the biggest variable is Uchiha Kai.
With the strength he has shown, he could easily take on a thousand enemies.
If he goes rogue in Konoha's rear, it would be a huge disaster for Konoha.
"Don't worry, I was just thinking about going to the battlefield," Kai said with a calm smile. "Konoha will win the battle at Kannabi Bridge."
Jiraiya obviously didn't expect Kai to agree so readily.
However, this also solved his and Konoha's worries.
Rather than keeping Kai, this variable, within Konoha Village, it was better to let him go to the battlefield with Minato Namikaze.
This would at least stabilize the rear.
"However, I have a condition," Kai suddenly said.
Jiraiya was stunned. "What condition do you have? As long as it doesn't endanger Konoha's safety, I can agree to it."
"Don't worry. Don't always treat me like a threat. I've said it before. I'd rather be a lazy bum than be in the limelight. Unfortunately, people are afraid of fame, and pigs are afraid of getting fat. I have no choice," Kai chuckled.
Originally, Kai had been a little disappointed when he didn't see the summoning scroll of Mount Myōboku on Minato Namikaze.
He never expected Jiraiya to come knocking on his door.
Such a fat sheep couldn't be missed.
"You're aiming for the summoning jutsu?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Minato mentioned that you want to sign a summoning contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku."
"That's not a problem, but I need to warn you. You absolutely cannot do anything wrong to Mount Myōboku. Otherwise, I will revoke your contract."
As a toad sage of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya had many special privileges.
Among them were being able to enter and leave Mount Myōboku and fuse with the two great sages.
"Don't worry, I'm a good guy. Let's finish the ramen first, and then we'll sign the contract," Kai said with a smile, looking at Teuchi, who was walking out.
The aroma of ramen had already filled the air.
Seeing that Jiraiya and Uchiha Kai weren't having a conflict, Teuchi couldn't help but feel relieved.
"The ramen is here, Jiraiya-sama. Here's some sake."
"Why are you making me drink again? Aren't you worried that I'll get drunk and talk nonsense again?"
"Haha, Jiraiya-sama, you have three kids with you. They can just send you back."
During this ramen meal, Uchiha Itachi and Uzuki Yūgao didn't speak, and they ate very quickly.
Seeing their eagerness, Kai knew that they wanted to see the summoning contract being signed.
In the Naruto world, very few people could sign summoning contracts.
Moreover, even if they could sign, many people's contracted summoning beasts weren't very powerful.
Compared to the strongest, Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, and Mount Myōboku, they were far inferior.
As for these three contract locations, they became famous throughout the ninja world because of the rise of the Sannin.
Now, Kai was actually going to sign a contract with Mount Myōboku. This was proof of his strength.
"We're finished. Thank you for the meal," Uzuki Yūgao and Uchiha Itachi said in unison.
Feeling their burning gazes, Kai's appetite wasn't very good.
Moreover, thinking about signing the summoning contract and then trying to get Sage Mode, Kai felt a strange sense of urgency.
"You three, stop staring at me. You've ruined my drinking mood," Jiraiya said helplessly, patting his wallet. "I'll pay this time. It's rare to be back in Konoha. I have to waste money on you kids."
"If only I could spend it on those big girls."
Thinking about those hot spring bath girls, a hint of intoxication appeared on Jiraiya's face.
"Let's go. Don't say you're one of the Sannin outside. You look like a lecherous pig. It's embarrassing," Kai rolled his eyes and led the way with Uchiha Itachi and Uzuki Yūgao.
"Kid, what are you talking about? You're still young. You don't know what the adult world is like. Why don't I lend you my Make Out Paradise? It can open up a second world view for you. You won't have to be a lazy bum anymore. Your life will have color," Jiraiya said, quickly catching up after paying the bill.
After the four of them left, a figure emerged from the shadows and quickly headed towards Root.
Under Uchiha Itachi's leadership, Kai finally arrived at a slightly secluded basin outside the village.
Looking around, the area was deserted. In the middle of the clearing, there were many straw dummies used for practicing shuriken, as well as scattered traces of attacks.
It seemed that Uchiha Itachi's status as a truant wasn't a lie.
"I didn't expect the Uchiha clan to have three geniuses this time. He's not even seven years old, and he's already trained his shuriken jutsu to this level," Jiraiya had been a slacker for half his life.
But now that he had mastered Sage Mode, he could definitely be called the strongest of the Sannin.
Perhaps this was the comeback of a hard-working genius.
"Kid, how about I take you as my disciple and you come wander with me?" Jiraiya said out of the blue.
Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head. "No need. I want my brother to teach me."
"That monster?" Jiraiya glanced at Uchiha Kai. "If you stay with that monster, you're likely to suffer psychological trauma. If you follow me, I can give you a different kind of enlightenment."
"You need to know, the world is big. There are things that are very enjoyable, like going to heaven. Once you try them, you'll be addicted."
Looking at Jiraiya, who was going off on a tangent, Kai rolled his eyes helplessly. "Jiraiya, if you want to corrupt someone, go corrupt Minato. The Kannabi Bridge is in dire straits. Let's finish the real business first."
"You're such a blockhead. No wonder you're ignoring the beautiful girl beside you," Jiraiya said with a pout.
However, he quickly took off the summoning scroll from his body.
"Kid, this is the summoning scroll of Mount Myōboku. You can only summon the toads of Mount Myōboku after signing a contract on the scroll," Jiraiya spread out the scroll.
It clearly showed the names of those who had signed contracts with Mount Myōboku throughout history, including the name of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's son, Hamura.
"Kid, if you have other summoning beasts, then release those contracts first. The toads of Mount Myōboku have bad tempers. If they find out you're two-timing them, you'll be in for a lot of trouble."
