"Hmph."
Tsunade snorted coldly, then couldn't help but glance at Takemi but quickly turned her head to look at the small town.
"What else can I do but go back? Damn it, such a good place, so many casinos, and you guys completely wiped them out?"
"I don't even have a place for entertainnt anymore. Besides, I need to keep an eye on the Fourth Raikage. If he dies, I won't be able to escape responsibility."
"That's good."
Jiraiya forced a smile. Although there were many troubles, at least there was a good outco.
"But… we weren't the only ones who acted, he was there too, and he was the first to act."
But at this mont, Takemi couldn't bear it anymore. He pointed at the still unconscious Fourth Raikage, then looked at Tsunade strangely.
"If it's really impossible, maybe we can get him to pay for the reconstruction here?"
"…"
Takemi's words left everyone sowhat silent.
You cut off soone's hand, and you still want them to pay?
"Also, I heard from Jiraiya-sama that Tsunade-sama owes a huge amount in gambling debts."
"Hey, Jiraiya, do you want to die?!"
Tsunade imdiately snapped upon hearing this. She grabbed Jiraiya's clothes, which instantly made Jiraiya panic.
"But isn't it quite good now?" Fortunately, Takemi spoke again.
"Now that everything here is destroyed, won't the debts be gone?"
"…Huh?"

Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the docunts in his hand with a pleasant mood.
Jiraiya had gone out with Kakashi and Takemi, which finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"The village is much quieter!"
Although these were all Konoha's talents, their antics truly made him feel troubled and headache-inducing.
Coupled with long-term high-difficulty missions, he was also worried about these three having problems.
Especially Takemi!
"He lacks proper education, and ever since he beca a Ninja, he's been constantly on high-difficulty missions, with hardly any relaxation. Now he can finally get so proper rest."
One cannot always be tense, one needs a balance of work and rest.
Although Jiraiya was usually unreliable, when he was serious, he was the most trustworthy.
Having him take Takemi to relax, with Kakashi watching over them, seed perfectly suitable no matter how one looked at it.
"Hokage-sama, urgent report!"
Just as he was deep in thought, an Anbu suddenly rushed in, carrying a toad.
"…"
The mont Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the toad, his heart sank.
"Here, Jiraiya told to give this to you. Mission complete, I'm leaving."
The toad wasted no words upon seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen. It imdiately spat out a scroll, then vanished in a puff of smoke.
"No way…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stumbled as he picked up the scroll. A bad premonition imdiately arose in his heart.
"It's just finding Tsunade, what could possibly go wrong?"
As he thought this, he silently unrolled the scroll, but when he carefully read its contents, his vision went black.
They t the Fourth Raikage and Orochimaru while looking for Tsunade?
Their battle flattened the entire town?
Orochimaru revealed crucial information, and this matter also concerned Danzo?
The Fourth Raikage was defeated, and his hand was even cut off?
These four pieces of news made Sarutobi Hiruzen so dizzy that he couldn't stand steadily when he tried to get up. He truly felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Also, that Akatsuki Organization is actually connected to Danzo?"
Although there were many chaotic things, he still tried to maintain his composure. After pondering for a mont, he struggled to stand up.
The matter with the Fourth Raikage was very serious, a full-scale war could erupt if they weren't careful.
But he still needed to receive further news from Jiraiya about the situation there.
For now, he could only focus his attention on Danzo. He knew Root had been destroyed, but Danzo hadn't revealed many details.
"He provoked such dangerous people and didn't say anything. If he's thinking of revenge, that would be terrible!"
With that thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen imdiately left the Hokage Office with the Anbu present.
He had to go see Danzo now!
But shortly after he left, a white figure quietly appeared.

"You're saying Orochimaru gave our information to Konoha?"
Land of Rain, Agakure.
Amidst the rain, Pain looked at Obito with a cold expression.
Obito nodded and said, "Yes, he gave quite a bit, but not too much. He knows his limits."
He had sent Black Zetsu to Konoha to gather information on Danzo, naturally taking a comprehensive approach. But he didn't expect to encounter such a situation during the investigation.
Obito had initially wanted to suppress this information, but at Black Zetsu's reminder, he chose to co and inform Pain.
He didn't get along with Nagato, but he was crucial for the Gedo Statue's recovery and their future actions.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru were too much. If they didn't do sothing to divert their attention and they really started investigating deeply, it could affect future opportunities.
Obito said, "Actually, even if he didn't say anything, Danzo is already investigating. According to information, he's already going to contact Hanzo, so…"
Pain snorted, "You're worried he'll co to Agakure?"
He said indifferently, "If he really cos, then I will personally…"
"Kill him?" Obito snorted coldly.
He retorted with what Black Zetsu had told him earlier, "And then all of Konoha will know we're here, and they'll definitely besiege us. And don't forget about Iwagakure."
Pain fell silent. Although he felt that not much had been exposed regarding Iwagakure, it was rumored that Deidara had gone to Konoha.
So, perhaps Konoha and Iwagakure communicated, and they exchanged so information, then…
"Then what do you suggest?"
Pain was unwilling to gamble. If it was just targeting him personally, everything would be fine.
But he also had Agakure under his control, and the Gedo Statue also needed energy. Now was indeed not a suitable ti to be exposed.
Obito sneered, speaking in a low voice, "Naturally, we won't let them off, but none of this can happen within the Land of Rain."
"They are currently in Sugi Village. Because of the Fourth Raikage, they probably can't leave yet, so…"
Pain instantly understood what Obito was getting at.
"Pretend to go there on a mission and just happen to encounter them?"
This seed like a good plan. However, he also sighed inwardly, who would have thought the situation would develop like this?
A na popped into his mind. It was this guy who, along with Hanzo, killed Yahiko, and it was this guy who caused so many problems.
"Danzo…"
"You truly deserve to die!"
