Novel Full Chapter 771
Chapter 771: Chapter 698 Lodging Chapter 771: Chapter 698 Lodging “Sage Mode?
You even know about that…”
Jiraiya was a bit surprised.
In the Ninja World, not many people possessed information about Sage Mode.
He hadn’t expected these Outsiders to already have some understanding of it.
“I have a pretty good rapport with your First Hokage, but his Sage Mode requires too much talent, hard to make head or tail of it, so I wanted to see yours.”
Tao Yu’s words left Jiraiya somewhat speechless.
“I don’t have that kind of talent, I’m truly sorry…”
Jiraiya kept scratching his head, thinking this person was being quite presumptuous.
He was indeed the disciple of the Third Hokage, but among the Sannin, he was always considered the ‘tail end’, only after a gradual accumulation of experience did he finally manage to make a comeback with Sage Mode.
Mastering Sage Mode was something Jiraiya took great pride in.
But to the other party, his words somehow sounded like a challenge.
Nevertheless, the one being compared was the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, so although Jiraiya felt provoked, he also felt a bit helpless.
Glancing at Minato Namikaze beside him and noticing his nod, Jiraiya understood that what the other party said was true and that the use of Sage Mode must have been authorized.

Jiraiya had great trust in his own disciple.

That the Fourth Hokage chose him was completely natural!
Now, with the First and Second Hokage resurrected, it was still Minato overseeing daily affairs!
However, when it came to exceptional disciples, aside from Minato, the Fourth Hokage, the three founders of Akatsuki were also quite remarkable.
Especially Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.
Without Madara Uchiha speaking up, they wouldn’t have known that the Rinnegan originally belonged to him.
Now, Nagato appeared as a trump card for Konoha, somewhat similar in status to Shin Nai.
“If our guest wishes to see, then I, this talentless old man, will of course oblige.
But first, let’s have dinner…”
Looking at the food on the table, Jiraiya was also quite excited.
While eating, he also shared some information.
“That old man suddenly started researching Immortal Techniques, is it because of you?”
“Yes, if you’re interested, I can also teach you.”
Tao Yu was all for mutual benefit and was not secretive about it.
“Also, Tsunade mentioned that she found a very strange patient, a Genin who practiced Taijutsu for many years, seems to have recovered, but when asked about it, he said it’s a secret.
Does this have anything to do with you Pioneers?”
Jiraiya had a background in intelligence gathering and started to ask questions while thinking of something.
“It was me who healed him.
If Lady Tsunade wishes to understand, you can call her over as well, I also have some interest in her.”
Although Tsunade’s most effective tool was a Yin Sealing Technique, Tao Yu himself was well-versed in Sealing Skills with various enhancements and didn’t mind acquiring more techniques — learn them all first, then discuss.
Whereas Obito, who had been conversing leisurely with Tao Yu before, now seemed a bit tense.
How come this young-looking fellow was so at ease talking and joking with the teacher and Lord Jiraiya?
They were even discussing exchanging techniques?
Had it come to this level already!
He was just asking the other party about the world beyond, he hadn’t been impolite, had he?
Afterward, it wasn’t just Obito Uchiha anymore, Jiraiya was also curious about the outside situation.
“Although I can open the World Barrier, it takes a lot of time, and once I leave the world, the inertia of the Chakra clearly increases.
If I get surrounded by those Cockroach People, even I might be in danger,”
Jiraiya didn’t mind revealing his own weaknesses.
Now, with the great reconciliation of the Ninja World, Konoha could truly be said to be at its peak!
In such circumstances, it is not surprising that there are several Chosen Ones from different eras, given Konoha’s size.
However, there is indeed a gap among the Chosen Ones.
According to Jiraiya, he is quite a bit inferior to the likes of Madara Uchiha, which is why even leaving his own world requires a great effort.
“If the number of those roaches is not reduced below a certain threshold with an attack, there is indeed a risk of being surrounded and killed.”
High-level shinobi are strong and not lacking in large-scale attack methods.
But if they don’t reach the level of a celestial event that shakes the stars and only rely on group attacks, they will eventually run out of energy, so Jiraiya’s decision not to delve deeper is the right one.
The world of the Cockroach People is incredibly vast, so vast that it envelops the entire Land of Fire.
This also gives a slight indication of the terrifying total number of those Cockroach People.
Furthermore, now aliens and viruses have appeared.
The virus is relatively less concerning, after all, it could have been brought over ‘accidentally’ by Pioneers or might have come through the ocean, which seems reasonable.
But if the aliens were truly brought over from Starshine’s side with such great effort, then that’s a bit different.
It’s also unknown what is on the other side of the world of the Cockroach People.
This world is simply too vast, akin to a flattened planet.
Plus, with the sea wrapped around it, indeed no one has continued to explore in that direction.
“Actually, if the World Barrier could always exist without any flaws, our world would seem much more peaceful,”
Having experienced two Shinobi World Wars, Jiraiya also seemed a bit wistful at that moment.
“If the world weakens, the World Barrier will also be weakened.
The stronger the attack from the outside, the more frequently gaps will appear, so we still need to be well-prepared…”
Tao Yu had seen villages that had been wiped out on his way to Konoha, and the burrowing ability of those Cockroach People was also extremely strong.
In fact, it’s becoming a bit difficult now to completely eradicate them in the Land of Fire.
But it’s still manageable due to the high individual quality and execution capabilities of the ninjas.
Moreover, if they could proliferate in such barren neighboring lands, who knows what they could become over time in a rich land like the Land of Fire.
They haven’t caused any issues yet, mainly because there hasn’t been much time.
Those Cockroach People’s intelligence is not low either…
Kakashi and the others by his side, although they were already aware of the situation next door and had even personally hunted Cockroach People,
now felt startled after hearing the deeper discussions and intelligence exchanged between Tao Yu and Jiraiya.
Could those Cockroach People really bring such a big problem…?
After a satisfying meal, Jiraiya was ready to leave and waved his hand,
“Jack, I’ll come find you tomorrow, see you then.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, Minato looked at Tao Yu and said,
“You should stay here tonight; I’ll prepare a room for you.”
“That works.”
Konoha has hostels and inns, but the conditions are another story.
Tao Yu had slept outdoors before, and the conditions in the Outer City were pretty bad, but he had no inclination for self-torment.
If the environment could be better, then it obviously should be.
Minato’s residence, although nothing special, is still that of the Hokage, so it couldn’t be too bad…
