Jiraiya and Naruto reached a consensus and arranged Torune Aburame's future schedule.
After discussing the most important matter, Jiraiya intended to state his purpose directly.
"Naruto, I came to see you today to find out about Nagato's whereabouts."
"Nagato? I'm also looking for him."
"How on earth can we find Nagato?"
After thinking for a while, Naruto said, "Do you know where the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki is?"
"The Five-Tailed Jinchuriki?" Jiraiya was startled.
"When the Akatsuki Organization attacked Kumogakure Village, they actually suffered heavy losses. The Akatsuki's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts."
"Wherever the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki is, Nagato is likely to be there too."
Naruto voiced his speculation.
Jiraiya, who roamed far and wide, naturally had heard of two peculiar Tailed - Beast Jinchuriki.
They were Roshi, the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki, and Han, the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki.
Both of them were from Iwagakure Village.
Moreover, both of them had left Iwagakure Village.
After leaving Iwagakure Village, they still wore forehead protectors marked with Iwagakure Village.
It was clearly a serious matter that two Jinchuriki left the village with their Tailed Beasts.
However, Iwagakure Village only listed Roshi as a Rogue Ninja, while Han was not listed as one.
So in the Ninja World, there were two Jinchuriki Ninjas from Iwagakure Village wandering around.
Jiraiya shared all this intelligence, which he had gathered while looking for materials all over the world.
"Finding the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki won't be easy."
Jiraiya looked troubled.
"Maybe we should go to Iwagakure Village. Perhaps we can find some clues. Once we find out the whereabouts of the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki, we can naturally find Nagato."
"I guess we have no other choice." Jiraiya sighed. He found it quite troublesome.
"Torune Aburame, you'll be very useful. Come with us on this journey." Naruto gave the order directly.
Torune Aburame was taken aback.
"Then it won't be boring." Jiraiya instantly showed a happy expression.
Since they didn't have any teleportation marks, Naruto and his group had to travel to Iwagakure Village on foot.
More than ten days passed.
Naruto and his group finally stepped into the territory of the Land of Earth.
Naruto couldn't wait to leave a mark of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu[b]Flying Thunder God Jutsu[/b] among the pile of stones.
"Now that we've set up this teleportation point, we can come here easily later."
Jiraiya was extremely envious of Naruto, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].
The Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] was not only convenient but also suitable for a traveler like him who was always looking for materials all over the world.
More importantly, the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] allowed one to leave a mark on a woman. Jiraiya always felt that this aspect excited him greatly.
Jiraiya thought to himself: If I could master the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b], I'd definitely leave marks of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu[b]Flying Thunder God Jutsu[/b] on all the women in the world.
Jiraiya shed silent tears because he knew he could never master the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b]. He had secretly trained in it before and always failed.
The roads in the Land of Earth were very difficult to traverse. The terrain was uneven, with continuous mountains and numerous ravines everywhere.
After several days of non-stop traveling, finally, they reached the outer area of Iwagakure Village.
Iwagakure Village is built along the mountain on a natural barrier, making it a natural fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Entering Iwagakure Village is no easy feat.
At the mountain pass checkpoint, Iwagakure ninjas stand guard, responsible for checking passers-by.
It would be more difficult for Naruto and the others to sneak into Iwagakure Village undetected than ascending to the heavens.
Jiraiya put on a confident expression. "Actually, I could sneak into Iwagakure Village over twenty years ago."
"At that time, there was a war in Iwagakure Village. It was said that outsiders couldn't enter, so I just sneaked in to prove that I'm not afraid to break into any place."
After saying that, Jiraiya started to admire his own boldness.
"Yeah, sure. Maybe one day you'll break into some place and never make it out." Naruto knew Jiraiya well. He was indeed brave enough to go alone into a dangerous place.
Jiraiya immediately roared, "Naruto, there's no place in this world that can hold me, the Frog Sage."
Naruto didn't want to argue with Jiraiya about this topic.
"Then you'd better be careful of your disciple, Nagato. Maybe he can."
"Nagato? Impossible. My Nagato is a very well - behaved student, much better - behaved than you." Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a disdainful look.
"Heheh..."
Jiraiya looked at Iwagakure Village built in the mountains. The mountain road was difficult to navigate, and there was only one way into the mountain, which was guarded by ninja. He couldn't help frowning.
It's a tough nut to crack. With my skills, taking Naruto into Iwagakure Village is a piece of cake. But if I have to take Hinata and Torune Aburame as well, it'll be a real hassle.
"Let me handle it." Naruto rolled up his sleeves. "I can easily take everyone into Iwagakure Village."
Jiraiya didn't buy it. He thought Naruto was exaggerating.
"You haven't left any teleportation marks in Iwagakure Village. How are you going to take everyone in?"
"Humph." Naruto looked at the passers - by not far away.
They were all merchants from the Land of Earth, who transported goods into Iwagakure Village every day.
"You guys wait here. I'll be back soon."
After Naruto left, he blended into the merchant caravan and used his Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] to control a merchant.
Under the influence of the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b], ordinary people have no power to resist.
"Stick out your hand."
The merchant controlled by the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] obediently stretched out his hand.
Naruto pointed his finger at the merchant's arm and left a mark of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu[b]Flying Thunder God Jutsu[/b].
After doing this, Naruto returned to the others.
"Watch closely. Soon we'll sneak into Iwagakure Village undetected."
Naruto showed a proud smile.
As night fell, the merchant's team had already entered Iwagakure Village.
The merchants had settled in an inn.
The merchant with the mark of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu[b]Flying Thunder God Jutsu[/b] left by Naruto was even lying in his bed.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in his room.
The merchant was so scared that he woke up from his bed.
Naruto directly knocked the merchant out with a palm.
He said very proudly, "See? I've brought everyone into Iwagakure Village. It's so easy to enter this village."
Jiraiya secretly praised Naruto in his heart.
"How did you come up with this idea?"
Naruto said, "The more you've experienced, the more thoughts you'll have."
Actually, the main reason was that Naruto had previously attempted to sneak into Kiri but got exposed in the fog area, which really ticked him off.
So Naruto came up with this new method.
No matter what measures ninja villages take to defend against outsiders, it's always hard for them to guard against their own people.
As long as they use ordinary people as guides and leave the marks of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu[b]Flying Thunder God Jutsu[/b] on them, they can easily get through those defensive measures.
Iwagakure Village, known for its strongest defensive capabilities, was so easily penetrated that Naruto and his group managed to sneak in successfully.
"Next, it's time to gather intelligence. We need all the information about the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki, Han."
At this moment, Jiraiya finally realized why Naruto had brought him here.
Because gathering intelligence was Jiraiya's strong suit.
