Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Kakashi and Might Guy were shaken by this, but also filled with confusion.

Jiraiya, aware of Kakashi and Might Guy's confusion, said, "I know you have many questions, but I don't have much time to explain them to you right now."

"I have to go now. I will come back after you have learned and mastered the Impure World Reincarnation."

"At that time, I will tell you everything."

Without giving Kakashi time to react, Jiraiya instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Might Guy spoke, hesitatingly saying, "Kakashi..."

Kakashi knew what Might Guy wanted to say and replied directly, "I believe in Lord Jiraiya, that's enough."

As he spoke, Kakashi looked at Might Guy solemnly and said, "Guy, I need to focus entirely on learning the Impure World Reincarnation for a while. Can you help me with my daily life and guard duties?"

Seeing this, Might Guy didn't hesitate. He immediately smiled broadly, gave Kakashi a thumbs up, and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Time begins to pass.

The next day, with the help of Danzo Shimura, the news of the Uchiha clan's annihilation overnight quickly spread throughout Konoha.

Along with this, rumors fabricated by Shimura Danzo also circulated.

Rumors spread like wildfire throughout Konoha Village.

Amidst these rampant rumors, Jiraiya's image as one of the Three Legendary Sannin is in jeopardy, and public skepticism is growing.

Those Konoha Jonin who experienced that night know how unreliable this rumor is.

Because they knew that the one who resurrected the Fourth Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique was not from the Uchiha clan, but Chen Anxia.

But what can they do even if they know? Those who become Jonin aren't stupid; they know there must be a mastermind behind this rumor.

As for who the mastermind behind this is, you can guess with just a little thought.

But they couldn't say it, because if the mastermind behind this dared to plot against Jiraiya, what chance did they have?

They also knew that if they dared to stand up for Jiraiya during this period, they would likely become the next targets of rumors.

The power of public opinion is terrifying.

The veteran Jonin, including the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who experienced the Konoha White Fang incident, are well aware of this.

At the same time, they didn't understand why Jiraiya himself didn't step forward and explain.

Given Jiraiya's prestige in Konoha, if he were willing to step forward and explain, he would surely salvage a lot of the situation.

But Jiraiya seemed to tacitly accept these rumors, hiding away and completely disappearing from public view.

This fueled the rumors, and more and more people wanted Jiraiya to come forward and clarify the situation.

Clearly, this appeal went unanswered.

Meanwhile, in a forest on the remote outskirts of Konoha.

Wearing Root's concealment attire, Kabuto Yakushi looked at Might Guy and said, "Might Guy, we are under orders from Lord Danzo to bring Kakashi, a suspect in the Uchiha clan massacre, back to Root for investigation. Please cooperate."

Beside Yakushi Kabuto were four other members of Root.

Clearly, this time Root is determined to get Kakashi.

The reason for this is that Danzo Shimura learned that Kakashi had taken the Book of Seals and had begun training in the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Danzo Shimura didn't know why Kakashi did this.

But precisely because he didn't know, Danzo Shimura had to eliminate all uncertainties during this special period.

Might Guy looked at the five Root members in front of him and said with a serious expression, "As long as I'm here, I will never let you get close to Kakashi!"

Upon seeing this, Kabuto and the other four Root members realized that in order to defeat Kakashi, they had to defeat Might Guy first.

Without any warning, they launched a simultaneous attack on Matt Kai.

In an instant, a great battle broke out.

Kakashi, who was intently studying the Impure World Reincarnation technique, sensed the commotion of the battle. Cold sweat beaded on his brow as he anxiously thought, 'Faster, faster...'

At this time, only three days had passed since they parted ways with Jiraiya.

Kakashi's mastery of the Impure World Reincarnation technique only reached a little over 40%.

Clearly, the difficulty of the Impure World Reincarnation was beyond Kakashi's imagination.

This also means that Kakashi may not be able to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique within a week.

This was naturally not the result Kakashi wanted, so he could only do his best to push his potential to the limit.

Meanwhile, after returning to Tangren Village, Chen Anxia temporarily went into seclusion and began his behind-the-scenes planning.

First, Itachi Uchiha had already left Chen Anxia and was wandering the ninja world on his own, waiting for an invitation from the Akatsuki organization.

Secondly, under Chen Anxia's instruction, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki have begun their training journey alongside the reanimated Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Finally, there's Hidan.

At Chen Anxia's suggestion, Hidan also began to venture into the ninja world alone.

Unlike Itachi Uchiha, Hidan's purpose in wandering the ninja world was to incite war and create fear.

Only fear can nourish the dark seed that gives birth to the beast of original sin, and only fear can allow the beast of original sin to finally break free.

In a bandit stronghold in the border region of the land of rivers.

At this moment, the last remaining bandit in the main camp stared at Hidan in terror, repeatedly muttering in fear, "A demon, you're a demon..."

In Hidan's eyes, wisps of black mist drifted out from the bandit in front of him and flew into his own body.

The feeling of the black mist entering his body was like eating the most delicious meal in the world, making Hidan crave it and want to endlessly devour the black mist.

Darkness has fallen...

......

Chapter 603 The Return of the Legend: The First and the Second Generation!

The battle outside Konoha has been going on for four days.

Strangely, this four-day battle went unnoticed by anyone.

Even though this place is located on the outskirts of Konoha, it shouldn't be like this.

After all, the battle between Might Guy and the Root members was quite a big commotion.

Matt Kai had already guessed what was going on.

For the first time, Might Guy genuinely wanted to support Minato Namikaze's vow before his departure, and wanted to witness Minato's return and the scene of him using his blood to cleanse the rotten roots of Konoha.

but now...

"Huh...huh..."

My breathing became heavy, and my vision began to blur.

Matt Kai knew he was nearing his limit.

It makes sense. Four consecutive days of non-stop fighting without any food or water would be too much for even Might Guy's superhuman physique.

Unlike Might Guy, the Root members fought a series of battles, so they were all in good condition.

With the tide turning and the tide rising, Matt Kai's defeat was inevitable.

The reason for this is not only that the Root members are quite strong, but also that Might Guy did not use his full strength against the Root members.

In Might Guy's view, these Root members were all members of Konoha Village, and they were all acting under orders.

The mere difference in their stance prevented Matt Kai from killing members of his own village.

Although Kabuto thought Might Guy was stupid, he couldn't help but admire him.

That's the charisma of Matt Kay.

However, while Might Guy's charisma was strong, it wasn't strong enough to change the enemy's stance.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Might Guy was struck by Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and sent flying backward, smashing through several trees along the way before crashing heavily to the ground, creating a large crater.

Inside the crater, Might Guy struggled to get up and fight again, but his exhausted body had no strength left.

Seemingly resigned to his fate, Might Guy gazed at the sky with blurred vision, muttering, "Kakashi, I'm sorry, I really did my best..."

Just then, a calm voice, tinged with unspeakable anger, suddenly rang out, "You did a good job. Now it's my turn to teach you."

The sudden sound made Might Guy freeze for a moment, then fainted with a smile on his face.

The root members, on the other hand, looked at the owner of the voice, feeling the immense pressure it brought, their expressions filled with undisguised fear.

Among them, someone couldn't help but exclaim in a trembling voice, "The legendary Sannin... Jiraiya!"

That's right, the owner of that voice is Jiraiya.

At the crucial moment, Jiraiya returned.

Jiraiya then said to the Root members in front of him, "Go back and tell Danzo to prepare to atone for his sins by committing suicide."

Upon seeing this, the Root members did not hesitate and retreated immediately.

They knew that Jiraiya's appearance had made things uncontrollable, and they had to go back and consult Danzo.

Jiraiya did not attack the Root members. After they left, he carried the unconscious Might Guy on his back, dragging three thick ropes with one hand, and walked towards where Kakashi was.

Soon, Jiraiya saw Kakashi inscribing the Impure World Reincarnation formation.

Kakashi was clearly at a crucial moment and failed to notice Jiraiya's arrival.

Seeing this, Jiraiya did not disturb Kakashi. After gently placing the unconscious Might Guy aside, he silently watched and waited.

After about fifteen minutes, Kakashi finished inscribing the final formation, and a look of joy appeared on his face as he exclaimed, "It's done!"

At that moment, Jiraiya spoke up, "Well done, Kakashi."

Kakashi only noticed Jiraiya's arrival after hearing his voice.

At the same time, Kakashi also noticed the three human cocoons tied up with rope behind Jiraiya, and Might Guy, who was disheveled and unconscious, standing to the side.

Kakashi knew about Might Guy's situation.
