Konoha wants to build a small town at the border between the Rain Country and the Fire Country.
Because Konoha is attacking the Rain Country, the Wind Country and the Earth Country will also join the war.
The four forces are fighting in the Rain Country. It is definitely impossible to end the battle in a short time. It will definitely be a protracted war.
Therefore, it is extremely necessary to build a war fortress on the border, because as long as a fortress is built on the border, Konoha will be able to withdraw from the fortress from the Rain Country at any time for recovery.
Large amounts of war supplies can also be stored in the fortress to maintain the logistics of the Konoha Shinobi.
In this way, they can attack or defend.
But building a fortress on the border is not an easy task.
Ninjas from the Rain Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, and Earth Kingdom are very likely to come and cause trouble.
Not far from where Konoha built its fortress, there was a stream connecting the Rain Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid of the ninjas from the Rain Country, who sneaked in through the water flow and attacked the civilians who were building the fortress.
Now Konoha has sent a large number of civilians to the border to assist the ninja in building the fortress.
Jiraiya's mission is to prevent any enemy from passing through the water before it is completed.
Many ninjas skilled in Earth Style have already rushed to the place where the fortress is being built.
The war fortress can be built in half a month at the latest.
So Jiraiya's mission this time will take about half a month.
"The speed is not bad."
When Jiraiya arrived at the construction site of the fortress, he found that it had already taken shape.
There are a large number of ninjas and civilians busy at work.
"Greetings, Master Jiraiya."
When Jiraiya approached the fortress, all the civilians or ninjas who were working greeted Jiraiya respectfully.
Now Jiraiya has taken off the Anbu costume.
"Come on everyone, this fortress is very important to the village. I hope you can build it as soon as possible. I will be nearby to protect you and you will not be threatened by any enemies."
Jiraiya said with a smile on his face.
"Master Jiraiya, we can rest assured knowing you are here to guard the place."
After Jiraiya arrived, all the civilians and ninjas here felt much more at ease.
Because Jiraiya was widely publicized by Sarutobi Hiruzen, both civilians and ninjas now all believe that Jiraiya is a rare genius in Konoha and extremely powerful.
It would take almost no effort to take out Jōnin.
Seeing Jiraiya coming, all the Jōnin stationed here breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.
They are building fortresses on the border and may be attacked by the enemy at any time. The more masters who come, the safer they will be.
This is an extremely dangerous task.
Jiraiya stayed here for a while, then headed to the river at the border and changed into Anbu's clothes again.
The river is extremely wide and the water is extremely deep. If a ninja with Grandmaster Water Style were to swim over from the deepest part, it would be very difficult to be discovered.
Jiraiya lay down by the river. His perception ability was very strong now. If there were any ninjas sneaking into the bottom of the river, he could easily sense it.
Jiraiya took out the scroll of Toad's singing and began to study the notes.
...
"The Jōnin of Konoha wants me to kill him, but for less than 15 million, there is no way I can do it because I will get into a lot of trouble after killing the Jōnin of Konoha."
In the lobby of a bounty house, bounty hunter Kakuzu said as he looked at the Root members of Konoha.
The Root members under Danzo's orders have gone to several underground bounty offices and issued a bounty of twelve million for Jiraiya.
This bounty amount is already very high and has attracted many bounty hunters to go to where Jiraiya is.
The Root Ninja has now revealed where Jiraiya is carrying out his mission.
The Root Ninjas found Kakuzu at this bounty, but Kakuzu was a little dissatisfied with the price they offered.
"Don't be reluctant to pay the price. I am very honest. As long as you pay 15 million, I guarantee that it won't be long before you can see Jiraiya's head."
"I'm sure you all know my strength. I rarely fail in my missions. After all, I'm a man who has fought against the Ninja God, Senju Hashirama."
"If you want to rely on those rubbish to complete your bounty mission, I don't know how long it will take."
Kakuzu said very confidently, bragging about himself again.
"Absolutely."
The Root ninja agreed without hesitation.
The funds Danzo gave him were 20 million, which was enough to pay for the money Kakuzu had to pay.
"You made a wise choice. It won't be long before you see Jiraiya's head."
Kakuzu said with a laugh, and left the bounty house.
He was extremely satisfied with this bounty mission.
Killing a Jōnin actually nets you 15 million.
It is nearly three times the previous reward amount.
As for Jiraiya he is from Konoha Village.
He doesn't care at all.
Others were afraid of Konoha Village, but he wasn't.
He had fought against Senju Hashirama, the man known as the God of Ninja.
He wouldn't be afraid of Konoha sending people to hunt him down.
At worst, he could leave the Fire Nation and go to other countries to continue earning bounties.
"There are already so many bounty hunters heading out to look for Jiraiya. We should be able to successfully complete what Lord Danzo has asked us to do."
Kakuzu left the bounty hall, and the Root Ninja also quickly left the bounty hall.
There are already many bounty hunters at this bounty station. They are attracted by the generous reward amount and plan to kill Jiraiya to earn the money.
"Going against Lord Danzo will only lead to death."
The Root Ninja leader said with a gloomy expression.
They have now been brainwashed by Danzo using the Sharingan.
It can be said that he is completely Danzo's puppet.
There is almost no independent consciousness.
They now believe that the meaning of their existence is to fulfill the various meanings of Danzo.
If they fail to complete the tasks assigned by Danzo, their lives will become meaningless.
"This thing is simply not something that humans can practice. I hope the reward for signing in tomorrow will help me quickly master the Toad Imitation Singing."
Jiraiya, who was studying the toad's singing beside the river, closed the scroll with an annoyed look on his face.
Although he could understand the meaning of the scroll, he really couldn't imitate the sound of the notes.
He is now looking forward to tomorrow's sign-in reward.
