Somewhere in the country of water.

The heavy cumulonimbus clouds cover the sky and the sun, firmly covering the sun, and the thick fog in the forest was invisible to see the five fingers.

Under dark clouds, the strong wind and rain as dense as water curtains hit the earth, and waves surged in the distance.

Jiraiya stood at the entrance of the cave with a huge scroll on his back, looking into the distance through the rain curtain.

"The storm that lasted for so long... the power of the Three Tails is really shocking."

Hinata and Naruto sat around the fire, fiddling with grilled fish that emitted an attractive fragrance. After hearing Jiraiya's words, Hinata turned around and asked, "When will we act?"

It has been two days since I arrived in the Water Kingdom, and Konoha has already grasped the location of Sanwei's hiding. Jiraiya is responsible for contacting the Hidden Village of Mizuno. I heard that the sealing ceremony has been prepared.

Jiraiya explained: "Sanwei is hiding at the bottom of a lake in the northeastern area of ​​the island. If Sanwei does not come out on its own initiative, it is unwise to fight Sanwei at the bottom of the water."

"The people from the Hidden Village of Mist are trying to figure out a way!"

Naruto shouted, "What should I do?"

Jiraiya sighed and said, "The matter of sealing the three tails is responsible for Kiriki. Our mission is to guard against the Akatsuki organization's sneak attack when they seal the three tails."

After saying that, Jiraiya walked back to the cave, sat by the fire, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, this fragrance... tsk, it should have been roasted, right?"

Naruto lowered his head slightly, thinking about Sasuke's affairs.

Sasuke has also appeared near the Sanwei, probably looking for Uchiha Itachi whereabouts. If Sasuke avenged...

Thinking of this, Naruto felt even more sad.

It is impossible for Sasuke to go back to Konoha. Even if Naruto could take Sasuke back, the only thing waiting for Sasuke was to be sentenced to life imprisonment.

After looking at Jiraiya, Naruto couldn't help asking, "Luxurious Sage, you and Orochimaru..."

Jiraiya put down the roasted sea fish when she heard this, patted Naruto on the shoulder, sighed and began to comfort Naruto.

Hinata was listening while eating grilled fish... Since you don't eat it, I'm not polite!

Jirai is also an idealist, and the future he hopes for is undoubtedly very beautiful. But he cannot realize his ideals at all, and he has neither ability nor mature plans.

But Jiraiya never gave up hope. Even if the road ahead is confused, he still has to find the only way out in confusion.

Such a person is undoubtedly worthy of admiration!

Thinking of the conversation with Jiraiya a few days ago at Konoha Gate, Hinata fell silent for a moment.

What Hinata said may be because of a whim, but more of it was Hinata's true thoughts.

After three years of graduation, Hinata has seen some worlds. In addition to her previous life’s views and analysis of "Naruto", Hinata has a certain understanding of the world.

There is no doubt that if a world wants to make progress, people like Jiraiya and Naruto cannot be missing.

Even though the world still has many flaws and is not perfect in many places, we cannot blame others, let alone complain about the past. Instead, we must adjust our mindset and strive to create a better future.

Since you have done wrong things in the past, you must work hard to correct these mistakes now.

‘Bajibaji…’

"Wow! Hinata, you are too cunning!" Naruto suddenly complained loudly, "I actually ate all the grilled fish by myself while I was talking to the lustful fairy!"

Hinata: "…"

Hearing Naruto's shouting, Hinata came to her senses and looked at the fish bones all over the ground with a slightly awkward expression.

Hinata felt embarrassed because she snatched Naruto and Jiraiya's rations, Hinata wouldn't care about such things at all.

What really made Hinata feel embarrassed is... She had decided not to overeat in front of others and used all her strength to disguise herself as a gentle and lovely lady, but she didn't expect that she would reveal her true colors if she was not careful.

‘Boom--’

The outside of the cave suddenly became brighter, and then a deafening thunder sounded. In the howling storm, the rain became more and more urgent.

"This rain..."

Hinata turned her head and looked at the entrance of the cave, then looked at Jiraiya: "You lustful immortal, do you feel it? There seems to be chakra in this rain!"

Jiraiya got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, reached out to touch the rain, and his already frowned brows became even tighter.

"Hita, what do you think?"

Hinata: I am not Yuanfang!

After looking at the left and right sides, there was only Naruto in the cave.

Hinata suddenly realized Jiraiya's helplessness, and discussing things with Naruto was definitely the most fishy choice.

After thinking about it, Hinata spoke: "This should be some kind of perceptual ninjutsu. It seems that there are still our unknown enemies hidden near this!"

Naruto wondered, "Why is it the enemy? Using rainwater perception... Could this be the ninjutsu of the Hidden Village of Mizuno?"

"It's not impossible!"

Jiraiya frowned and said, "But I have fought with the ninjas of Fujihiko, and they should not have such ninjas. And manipulating such a large range of rain requires a very large chakra."

Although Jiraiya said it tactfully, the meaning was obvious... The people in Mizuho Village could not do such a thing at all.

Is it Payne?

Hinata thought to herself: "Is my previous guess wrong? The Akatsuki organization does not want to use the hand of Mizuki to seize the three tails, but Payne takes action himself?"

Jiraiya shouted: "Hita!"

"clear!"

Open the white eyes, and the black and white world becomes particularly clear, but the rain with chakra hinders the white eyes' investigation... This is the limitation of white eyes.

"no!"

Hinata said disgustedly: "I can't see anything in the rain, even the people of Fujihiko and Sanou disappeared from their sight!"

"not good!"

Jiraiya's voice was heavy, mixed with a rushing breath: "The person who is Akatsuki should act!"

"These chakra rains are not for perception at all, but for the purpose of blocking the white eyes!"

"Hyuta, Naruto! We are going to reach the lake where Sanou is right away!"

After saying that, Jiraiya rushed out of the cave first. Hinata and Naruto looked at each other, followed Jiraiya closely and ran towards the lake where Miyo was.

‘Gululu…’

Even in the storm, Hinata still clearly heard Naruto's stomach making a 'gurgle' sound.

Turning his head, Naruto was looking at Hinata with a 'sorrow' expression.

Hinata spread her hands helplessly and whispered: "The situation is urgent. Even if I leave some food for you, you will have no time to eat. Instead of wasting food, it's better for me to eat it alone, and add it by the way..."

The following words can no longer be heard clearly.

‘Boom--’

With a shocking explosion, even in the rain covering the sky, Hinata and the other two could clearly see the water escaping soaring into the sky in the distance, and the ground shook immediately.
Chapter completed!
