Chapter 369 Jiraiya's Bizarre Adventure

"Sir, wake up, sir, we've arrived at Amegakure."

"Huh? Oh."

Jiraiya, still half asleep, got out of the car.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had already arrived at his destination, Amegakure.

Calling it a village is actually a bit inappropriate.

Before him lay a vast, open city.

"No, is this still Amegakure? Where's the rain? Where's the village?"

The last time he came to the Land of Rain was during the Ninja War, when he, Orochimaru, and Tsunade earned the title of the Legendary Sannin.

At that time, the Land of Rain and Amegakure were places shrouded in rain all year round. Dark, damp, and gloomy were his first impressions.

It's only been a few years since I last came here, how come it looks completely different?

At first glance, this place seems even more prosperous than their own Konoha.

Skyscrapers stand tall, and traffic flows like a river.

The wide streets are lined with shops with neon signs, and these shops are run by merchants from various countries, not all of them are from the Land of Rain.

"Never mind, let's go in and gather some intelligence first."

Jiraiya checked his disguise and, after confirming that there were no problems, entered Amegakure.

Inside the war room of the Amekage Building in Amekage Village.

A group of people sat in front of a computer.

"The target has entered the city."

"Okay, proceed according to plan. Notify all departments to prepare to begin the guidance process."

"Understood."

Jiraiya was completely unaware that he had been noticed from the very beginning.

In his mind, he was being very cautious. As a well-known ninja, his reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities were beyond doubt.

Unfortunately, the Land of Rain, which is deeply intertwined with the Land of Grass, has already entered the information age as its capital, Amegakure.

Surveillance cameras have long been installed in every corner of Amegakure, but that's nothing special, since Konoha has them too.

However, Konoha lacks things like surveillance network systems and big data analytics.

Jiraiya was unaware of all this, and he continued to gather intelligence according to his own plan.

However, looking at this huge and bustling city, Jiraiya was a little lost for a moment. Where should he go to look for clues about the Akatsuki?

"Forget it, let's go check out the izakaya first. Speaking of which, I've heard that as a city with trade as its core, it attracts merchants from all over the world, and you can even see beautiful girls from all over the world in the izakaya."

With that, Jiraiya grinned like a pervert and headed straight for the izakaya.

Before even arriving in Amegakure, Jiraiya had already gathered information and headed straight for the largest and most famous izakaya in the area.

"Found it, this is the izakaya!"

Looking at the luxurious storefront, the constant stream of customers, and the sweet-looking, smiling, and melodious young lady standing at the entrance.

Jiraiya's perverted smile reappeared on his face.

"Hehehe, ladies from all over the world, here I come!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to go inside and have some fun, he suddenly turned around.

Something he couldn't believe appeared before his eyes.

Right across from this izakaya, there was a two-story building, and on top of that building hung a huge plaque with a large character "晓" (Xiao) written on it.

"dawn?!"

Is it true that the Akatsuki headquarters is located in a place like this?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you here to drink or to beg for food? What are you standing at the door doing, spacing out?"

A drunken man walked out of the izakaya and stood behind Jiraiya, reeking of alcohol, questioning him about why he was blocking the way.

Jiraiya was a little confused. It wasn't that fast here; where was he blocking the way?

However, the other party didn't care about Jiraiya's thoughts, and just stared at Jiraiya with somewhat delirious eyes.

"Hey buddy, why do you look so familiar?"

"Hahaha, really? Maybe it's because I have a rather common face."

Jiraiya chuckled to himself, thinking to himself.

Did they see through my makeup?

It's worth noting that Jiraiya is quite famous. As the author of Icha Icha Paradise, he has a large following, both for his physical books and his serialized works on forums.

"That's right, you don't look like a local. You're from out of town, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am a tourist from out of town."

"Is that so? Then you've come to the right place. Let me tell you, coming to our Amegakure is like traveling all over the ninja world."

"Haha, yeah, yeah."

Jiraiya took this opportunity to ask a question.

"What's with that Akatsuki organization over there? Could it be that the headquarters of that infamous rogue ninja organization is located in Amegakure?"

Which one are you talking about? Hey!

The drunkard grabbed Jiraiya's neck and said, his breath reeking of alcohol.

"This Akatsuki isn't the Akatsuki you're thinking of. This Akatsuki used to be..."

After more than half an hour of torture, Jiraiya finally escaped the torment of the drunkard.

Despite being reeking of alcohol and bad breath for over half an hour, Jiraiya still managed to get the information he wanted.

He learned about the history of the Akatsuki organization, an organization dedicated to making the country better, which eventually disintegrated for various reasons.

"If that's the case, there might still be some lurking in Amegakure who haven't left."

Jiraiya abandoned his idea of ​​going to an izakaya to relax and headed straight for Akatsuki's predecessor, Akatsuki Yorozuya.

For various reasons, the Yorozuya has now become a tourist attraction.

However, Jiraiya still planned to investigate further.

Having arrived at the Yorozuya, I was still in a daze. Good heavens, there was even a guide here who was responsible for introducing all sorts of things in the Yorozuya, such as what this room was for and what that room was for.

What is the significance of the paintings on the wall? Who wrote this calligraphy?

Some things have been framed or enclosed.

It looks like this place has been thoroughly checked inside and out.

Just as Jiraiya was about to leave in disappointment, he noticed a red cloud in the corner.

The cloud looked very similar to the cloud on the Akatsuki's black robe with red clouds on it, and the tail of the cloud was pointing in one direction, which made Jiraiya a little curious.

After leaving the Yorozuya, Jiraiya slowly walked in the direction of the Cloud Tail, searching for other suspicious traces along the way.

Soon, he saw a cotton candy shop. The shop's sign featured a giant red cotton candy that looked like a red cloud.

Having obtained the clue, Jiraiya continued onward and soon came across another clue related to the red cloud.

Following the clues, Jiraiya gradually moved away from the city and arrived at a farm in the suburbs.

"Is this the place? Red Cloud Farm? Could things get any more blatant?"
