"Click~"
The door of the central treatment room opened, attracting the attention of everyone in the corridor.
After Lin Ke walked out, his gaze suddenly fixed on the Number Two Kushina, who was being helped up nearby, her belly protruding.
[Wait, according to the timeline, Naruto shouldn't even have been conceived yet, Minato, you're too quick!]
Hmm, perhaps it wasn't his hand that was quick...
He glanced sideways at the young Minato Number Two and suddenly realized that the two sides, originally distinct, were now converging in expressions of concern.
Supporting Number Two Kushina was none other than the younger version of herself.
Lin Ke didn't know why, but he felt a slight flutter in his heart, that in the end, the two sides could harbor the same feelings, understand each other, without any distinction.
It was love.
"How is Jiraiya?" X2
One voice was childish, the other aged, both spoken in unison as the two Hiruzen Sarutobi approached.
Lin Ke snapped back to reality and said calmly, "They're fine, they'll wake up soon." He had originally planned to directly reincarnate them both, but then suddenly felt it would be too easy on them.
They had inexplicably caused such a big trouble, and to just lightly let them go and enjoy a new life.
He really felt very unhappy about it.
He simply used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal them to a certain extent, and then handed them over to Tsunade of the Main World to complete the subsequent surgery and treatment.
The relatives present breathed a sigh of relief—
Don't misunderstand, they were relieved to know that they wouldn't have to waste a lot of time grinding contribution points to reincarnate the two scoundrels.
"Lord Tobirama, I have something I want to discuss with you." Lin Ke sent a private chat invitation.
It would be impolite to extract Chakra and use the Net in front of so many people; he wasn't Haruno Sakura.
Lord Tobirama of the Main World nodded.
The two came to a room around the corner, and Lin Ke spoke first, "Do you have any plans for Jiraiya and the other one?"
"Hmm," Lord Tobirama of the Main World pondered for a moment. It was indeed a bit of an accident that these two were able to come back alive.
Initially, he thought of simply treating them as dead, and letting their relatives grind contribution points to revive them, which would be equivalent to their relatives paying the price after their death.
But the problem was that they came back alive. After all, too many people were involved: the Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Hatake Kakashi, etc. from the three worlds, and Naruto from the Final Chapter World pleaded for them, so it wouldn't be good to do anything too excessive.
But thinking of the threat of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's invasion caused by the two disorganized and undisciplined guys, he was really a little unhappy.
The two looked at each other and saw the look in each other's eyes.
"How about this." Lin Ke slowly spoke out the idea he had just thought of.
Number Two Jiraiya was actually okay, after all, he was found unilaterally. According to Number Two Madara's previous statement, these two had been mixing around in the Ninja World for a few days before he caught them.
The focus was on Jiraiya of the Main World. This guy was an early Different World explorer when everyone was not very familiar with the exploration process and the Boat Crossing Technique. Knowing that his strength had declined severely because he couldn't contact Mount Myōboku of the Main World, he insisted on going alone, and as a result, he was killed.
Sending out the Boat Crossing Technique and all of Lin Ke's Chakra directly caused a large number of subsequent events, which was a heinous crime.
But the problem is, Lord Tobirama of the Main World also bears some responsibility for this matter.
Number Two Madara made it very clear that Black Zetsu followed Lord Tobirama of the Main World over here. If we really pursue the responsibility to the end, even if he didn't attack Jiraiya, it would be difficult to deal with whoever he attacked next.
After all, with the Rinnegan, even in old age and with both Rinnegan, his overall strength wouldn't be weaker than the Edo Tensei Madara in the Fourth Shinobi World War manga. At most, his body would be failing, and his endurance would be a problem.
In that situation, everyone except Number One Hashirama would be instantly killed if ambushed. With Limbo: Border Jail and two Black Zetsus, even Number One Hashirama at the time might have lost due to carelessness.
The characteristic of Limbo: Border Jail, being imperceptible and invisible to anyone below the Six Paths level, is too broken, invincible against the weak.
Strictly speaking, Jiraiya of the Main World was just unlucky.
However, we can't look at it that way. His biggest problem is running around alone. If he were with others, maybe none of this would have happened.
So, since Jiraiya doesn't like being Hokage, why not just send him back to the Main World to be Hokage?
"You just want to get rid of the position, don't you?" Lord Tobirama of the Main World retorted, then said, "Number Two, um, I feel like you giving people numbers is weird."
He looked at Lin Ke suspiciously and said, "You wouldn't be giving me a number in your mind too, would you?"
After looking for a while and not being able to figure anything out, he added, "The handling of Number Two Jiraiya will be left to Konoha Village Number Two." After all, they're not family. Even though they're all in an alliance now, internal personnel matters should be interfered with as little as possible.
Most importantly, it's a way to do someone a favor and build a closer relationship. No matter how angry they are at the Jiraiyas, the matter has already been settled. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki herself has been driven away, and the two Madaras have been sent to a Different World. With his personality, what's important is the present.
"As for Jiraiya of the Main World," Lord Tobirama of the Main World paused, finding it awkward to say, "forget about being Hokage, let him Work for you."
He finds that guy annoying to look at, and killing him isn't realistic. He's naturally the type with ability, so let him do whatever he wants back in the Main World.
Out of sight, out of mind.
...
Two hours later, in the hospital room.
"Old man..." Jiraiya of the Main World looked at, uh, his three-year-old teacher with a pleading gaze, then he was silent for a moment and said, "Never mind."
The Mystical Palm Technique can heal them directly to the point where they can jump out of bed and fight Pain for three hundred rounds, so why are they still lying in bed?
It's purely because Lin Ke is petty.
Minato of the Main World sighed. He didn't know what to say to his teacher. The mess he made was too big, and no one with any sense of shame could intercede on his behalf.
Moreover, the solution given was just to go back and help with administrative affairs, which wasn't too harsh.
It's just painful for Jiraiya, who's always been free and undisciplined.
It's deserved.
Hiruzen of the Main World showed a helpless expression and said dryly, "It's a good thing to go back and help Lin Ke."
His eyes kept darting towards Senju Tobirama.
Lin Ke had already recovered his Chakra. He walked over, pressed his hand on Jiraiya, and after a few seconds, flicked away the extracted ailment. He then threw a Soldier Pill into the guy's mouth and said expressionlessly, "Lord Jiraiya, please."
Although he used honorifics, there was no respect in his tone.
Jiraiya of the Main World moved his body, which was still a little sore and weak, opened his mouth to try to say something, then slumped back on the bed. After a few seconds, under everyone's gaze, he got out of bed with a miserable expression.
"Um, when do I have to..."
He tried to ask about the time limit of the punishment, then met Lord Tobirama from the Main World's cold gaze, and all the words were blocked in his mouth, swallowed into his stomach.
"I understand," he said dejectedly.
Perverted, lazy, headstrong, he had a lot of faults, but he would never fail to admit his mistakes, never refuse to accept the consequences he deserved.
