Having witnessed Obito's death with his own eyes, and now seeing Obito again, Kakashi gasped in shock.

"How can it be..."

"Nothing is impossible!" Jiraiya said seriously.

They had already guessed Kakashi's reaction. Obito's death was a huge blow to Kakashi at first. It was best that Kakashi didn't collapse now.

"Uchiha Obito survived that battle and lived until now, until he was encountered by Jiraiya, fought with him and defeated him"

"Kakashi, Uchiha Obito is alive but did not return to Konoha. Instead, he became Konoha's enemy. Now he is killed by Jiraiya. You have to accept it all!"

Sarutobi knew that his words might make Kakashi feel uncomfortable, but he had to let Kakashi see this reality clearly.

See clearly the reality that Uchiha Obito is alive and has become an enemy.

Sarutobi Saiza's words indeed made Kakashi almost collapse, but he always kept himself from being swallowed by the darkness.

"How are you sure that Obito is an enemy of Konoha?"

"He stole the sealed book! Even though it is a large book," Sarutobi said.

"When!", Jiraiya frowned, but he hadn't heard Sarutobi mention this matter.

"Not long after Hanzo died! He came here wearing a mask. He didn't know his identity at the time and didn't act rashly. He was the one who brought the large book of the sealed book with him."

"I remember Hanzo was killed by him too!", Jiraiya said.

"Yeah, that's right!" Sarutobi said and nodded.

Kakashi also knew that the masked man killed Hanzo, and he had also fought with the masked man, but what he didn't expect was that the face under the mask was a face he was familiar with.

"Kakashi, you have to know that this Obito is no longer the same Obito as before."

"Besides, he is dead now, my condolences!"

Sarutobi said with a sigh.

"Leave Obito's body to us for safekeeping first. After all, if there is a more powerful existence behind Obito, it may be more troublesome to retrieve Obito's body!"

Kakashi just nodded blankly and said in a mechanical and stiff tone, "Can I... leave?"

Listening to Kakashi's tone, Sarutobi and Jiraiya knew that Kakashi still couldn't let go and couldn't calm down.

Since Kakashi wanted to leave, Sarutobi didn't want to stay anymore, thinking that maybe it would be better to leave Kakashi alone.

"Then your task of leading the team is cancelled. Just take a good rest these days!"

Kakashi just nodded and left instantly. As for whether he went back to calm down or did something else, they didn't know.

"Let him leave like this? His condition is not very good, what if..." Kakashi's unstable condition was obvious to both of them.

After all, no one would feel comfortable if something like this happened to them.

"I can rest assured about him, he knows what he should do now..." Sarutobi said, holding his pipe in his mouth.

Kakashi serves as his support, and he knows that Kakashi can control his emotions.

So he felt free to let Kakashi leave on his own.

Kakashi left, and Jiraiya was also ready to leave. After all, he just came to tell Sarutobi about the incident. When the notification arrived, his work was completed and he could go on his way again.

He would not stay in Konoha for long, so he was ready to leave, but he still had to meet someone before leaving here.

Jiraiya stood up and put the scroll away, then said, "I will take this scroll away. If anyone comes for this body, they will find me first and will not come for Konoha. I am not afraid of my strength."

Something like that, and Konoha now can't stand the trouble."

"Please!" Sarutobi said with a sigh as he looked at Jiraiya.

"Well, I'm leaving." After saying that, he left.

...

On the edge of the wooden leaves, there is a small lake with rippling blue waves.

Jiraiya and Senju Tsunade were sitting on the bench by the lake. They looked at the lake, but neither of them spoke first.

"Why are you willing to come back? Don't you want to continue collecting materials from you? Of all the people in the world who do peeping things, you are the only one who can do it, Jiraiya."

Tsunade broke the silence and asked in a teasing tone why Jiraiya was willing to return to Konoha.

Regarding Tsunade's teasing, Jiraiya just smiled and said

"That's not a voyeuristic behavior, it's just a necessary behavior to collect materials."

"That's why you peeked!"

Tsunade didn't believe Jiraiya's words. He was very familiar with Jiraiya. He still knew what kind of person Jiraiya was, but it was just a bit inconsistent in recent years.

Although it was a question, Jiraiya still heard that Tsunade's tone did not blame her too much.

Sansan smiled and said, "Why do you remember coming back? This is not your style. Didn't you say you would never come back again?"

Tsunade said, "I just came back for a look! Besides, do you need any other reason for me to come back?"

Jiraiya thought about it, Tsunade, who had always been carefree, didn't need any reason to come back.

"What about you, why are you willing to let those bathhouse boys come back?" Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, then said with a playful smile, "I have something to see the old man, so I came back."

"I won't come back if nothing happens. If something happens, it will be a big deal. Why are you asking the old man this time?" Tsunade was no longer teasing Jiraiya about his sudden seriousness.

"This matter is over, so you don't need to know." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and felt that it would be better not to tell this matter. After all, the less people know about Uchiha Obito, the better.

.

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya sideways, but she didn't ask, and Jiraiya didn't say anything. Besides, it sounded like the matter had been resolved, so there was no need to know.

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, when are you going to leave again?" Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya replied without thinking, "Soon, after all, I also have things I want to do."

"What about you?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade, "When are you going to leave?"

"I don't know," Tsunade said, looking ahead, "Maybe I will stay for a while longer."

"All right"

Afterwards, the two of them fell silent without saying a word, while Shizune stood not far away and shook her head while looking at the two of them.

"When will you come back again?"

"When will you come back again?"

Asked almost at the same time.

"I don't know, it may be in the near future or it may be a long time ago. If nothing happens to Konoha, I may not come back... What about you?"

"Same as you, if nothing happens to Konoha, I probably won't come back!"

After all, Konoha can't leave two people behind.

"I'm leaving." Jiraiya stood up and left.

"We'll meet again, right?" Tsunade said, looking at Jiraiya leaving.

Jiraiya waved his hand and left without saying a word. Seeing or not seeing each other, now they have met once, and it is destiny to see them again in the future.

Who can say it clearly?
