Ten days later.
Maples and his group arrived at the destination of their trip, Taigu Village.
Originally, it was just a village located in a valley, and there weren't many residents here, but a few years ago, someone dug a hot spring here, and it happened to be a place where many roads pass through, so it suddenly led to the rapid development of the village, and in just a few years, it became a famous hot spring tourist spot.
As for why the hot springs appeared, according to some investigations, it seems that when Maples and Hashirama fought before, they caused too much damage to the mountain terrain near Konoha, which caused the underground to collapse, causing an underground chain reaction.
In a room of the largest hot spring hotel.
"So …"
"The original reason for the birth of this place is actually because of me?"
Maples listened to Rin's explanation and couldn't help but complain.
Rin nodded with a smile and said, "You can think of it that way."
Maples patted his forehead and said, "Don't worry about it, let's go to the hot spring."
At this moment, he had changed into a clean white bathrobe, Rin and Kurenai were also wearing a white bathrobe with a bath towel on their shoulders.
Hinata's bathrobe was a little bit big, and it looked a little funny, and her cheeks were slightly red, so Rin couldn't help but rub her little face and took her to the hot spring.
In addition to the hot spring for men and women, there are some independent hot springs of different sizes, the smaller ones are open to the public, and the larger ones are not open to the public, only for the use of the town's nobles.
Because Rin made arrangements in advance, there are a total of three relatively large independent hot springs.
Maples quickly came to one of them, took off his bathrobe, and lay down comfortably in the water.
Speaking of which, although he has been practicing the Hachimon Tonkou, his body doesn't have the bulging muscles of a burly man, but because of the solidification of the Six Paths body, he just happens to be in a very moderate position.
His skin is white and clean.
His abdominal muscles are faintly discernible.
Maples still remembers that a long time ago, after taking a bath, he came out with only a bath towel, and he happened to be seen by Rin and Kurenai who were sitting in the living room. At that time, he didn't have the slightest doubt that they might rush over in the next second.
"Don't deliberately enter the wrong pool again …"
Thinking up to this point, Maples mumbled and activated Sage Mode's senses to prevent himself from being spied on. At the same time, he also checked if there were any other spies around.
It would have been fine if he hadn't sensed it, but once he did, he really sensed a sneaky person approaching the hot spring.
The chakra he sensed was somewhat familiar.
"…"
Maple Night was expressionless. He activated his Reincarnation Eye and saw a very familiar figure. At this moment, the figure had a wretched expression as he approached the hot spring where Sunset Glow and the others were.
Therefore,
In the next second.
While soaking in the hot spring, Kurenai, Lin, Hinata, and the others all heard the loud splashing sound of water, as well as a scream that quickly faded into the distance.
From the sound of it, it seemed like someone had been sent flying.
"Huh?!"
Lin, who had yet to take off her bathrobe, was stunned for a moment. Then, her expression changed slightly. She quickly left the hot spring and jumped onto the wooden partition beside the hot spring.
He looked in the direction of the scream, but all he could see was a black dot that disappeared into the horizon in the next second.
When she looked down.
Maples was standing not far away from the wall with a gloomy face, looking at the sky, some water dripping from his body.
"Maples, Maples?"
Lin asked in bewilderment.
Maples turned his head to look at her, his expression returned to normal, and said, "I threw out a wretched old man, it's fine now, continue to soak in the hot spring."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Maple Night disappeared from where he stood.
"Uh …"
Lin was stunned for a few seconds, then she roughly realized what happened. While slightly relieved, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
This is the most high-end hot spring here, and someone sneaked in to peek, and it's an old man, how can there be such a shameless person?!
If it's Maples, then it's fine.
Having said that.
Maples just now …
Lin's mind replayed what she had just seen. Feng Ye stood there with water droplets dripping from his body. Her eyes gradually lit up and became a little blurred.
…
Dozens of miles away.
A figure like a meteor fell from the sky in an arc, just like that, it hit the crown of a tree, breaking branches, and finally fell to the ground.
It's Jiraiya.
Since Maples succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, he rarely returned to Konoha. Instead, he traveled all year round, looking for inspiration, and wrote one best-selling book after another.
Today, when he was looking for new inspiration.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt himself being sent flying, as if someone had kicked him.
"Cough …"
Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood, showing a confused look, the sudden injury made him a little confused.
After about seven or eight seconds, he gradually recovered from the shock, and his chaotic brain started working again.
Well.
More than a dozen broken ribs …
His internal organs were shaken, and there was a lot of internal bleeding.
First, he clearly perceived the injury in his body, and then Jiraiya roughly guessed what happened.
If there's anyone in this world who can hit him without him noticing, and directly send him flying dozens of miles away, seriously injuring him, and he still can't figure out how he was attacked, it should be that person.
Konoha's Fifth Hokage …
Hatake Maples!
"Cough … Cough … Why did I meet him …"
Jiraiya showed a depressed expression.
That's really cruel!
With this kind of injury, if he doesn't get effective treatment within three minutes, he'll die.
He raised his finger with difficulty, wiped a little blood, and tried to use summoning technique to summon the toad of Mount Myoboku.
But.
What made his face ugly was that the summoning failed!
The injury was so serious that it was difficult for him to gather chakra, and the chakra meridians in his body were almost broken.
It's over!
One of Konoha's legendary Sannin, Jiraiya didn't die in the second and third shinobi world wars, but he died because he was peeping at a hot spring …
I'm afraid that his reputation will be ruined.
Thinking of the future history of his death, Jiraiya's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
No!
This can't happen!
He gathered the remaining chakra in his body and tried to forcibly use summoning technique.
But.
Just as he was about to forcefully activate the Spirit Communication Technique, a few white bones suddenly flew over from not far away.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!!
Several bones directly penetrated Jiraiya's palms and legs, nailing him to the ground.
This time, the summoning technique that was about to succeed collapsed again.
My life is over!
Such a thought emerged in Jiraiya's mind.
Not only was he seriously injured by the Maples, but after landing, he even met other ninjas. This is probably the worst thing that can happen to a person?!
But.
Just as Jiraiya's face was ashen, and he felt that the injury in his body was rapidly worsening, and even his consciousness was gradually fading, a very familiar voice suddenly came to him.
"Jiraiya?"
The voice was a little hoarse and weak, but Jiraiya still recognized the other person's identity, and his somewhat gray eyes lit up again.
There's no mistake.
This voice is … Orochimaru!
