"Naruto: Ice God"Chapter 129: Jiraiya's Revenge
Feng Bai remained silent, focusing solely on his training.
This wasn't because Feng Bai naturally loved cultivation, nor because he was born quiet.
It was entirely because the current situation left him truly speechless.
Looking left, Uchiha Obito—one of the perpetrators of the Uchiha massacre and looking utterly foolish—sat by the bedside, earnestly removing the white fibers from orange segments.
Looking forward, the legendary Konoha troublemaker, suspected biological father of Sarutobi Mirai, mastermind behind the Uchiha massacre, big-nosed Uchiha Shisui stood there respectfully.
Looking right, Uchiha Itachi—the second perpetrator of the Uchiha massacre, young yet perpetually worried, Konoha's great hero, the touching filial son of the ninja world—stood by the tent window, gazing into the distance.
All three key figures from the night of the massacre were gathered in his tent. How could Feng Bai possibly remain calm?
He was drenched in sweat.
What was this—had he changed his surname to Uchiha?
Unable to understand why his place had become an Uchiha gathering spot, Feng Bai could only sit cross-legged on the hospital bed, honestly cultivating.
Channeling the chakra Isobu had transmitted to him, Feng Bai's current task was adapting to it and gradually increasing usage frequency.
Achieving true understanding with a Tailed Beast wasn't as simple as just calling out its name.
Whether jinchūriki or Tailed Beast, genuine mutual understanding required long-term training and adjustment.
"Feng Bai, Feng Bai?"
Having cleaned the orange segment thoroughly, Obito called Feng Bai twice. Getting no response, he pouted and shifted attention to Itachi, who was looking out the window.
"Hey, you're called Itachi, right?"
Hearing Obito call him, Itachi collected his thoughts and turned with a stern expression.
"Come here, come here. Obito-nii will share some oranges with you."
Beckoning him over, Obito's smile made Itachi feel warmth.
Glancing at the meditating Feng Bai, Itachi politely walked around the bed to Obito, accepting an orange segment: "Thank you."
"Hehe, no need to thank me. You're quite polite, little guy." Treating Itachi like an ordinary child, Obito tried to pat his head, but Itachi skillfully dodged by turning away.
Well, not cute at all.
Obito wasn't embarrassed by missing and turned to another clansman: "Shisui, want some?"
"No thanks, Obito-nii."
Shisui looked at this distant cousin, unable to imagine this foolish guy was actually a chūnin.
But considering this was wartime, when any small achievement could earn promotion to jōnin, Shisui found Obito becoming chūnin somewhat acceptable.
"How boring."
Seeing everyone ignoring him, Obito complained loudly, tossed the remaining orange segments into his mouth, and started on a second orange.
He didn't dare forcibly call Feng Bai, knowing from experience that disturbing him would result in a rain of punches.
Better peel another one and leave it there.
Thus, Obito entered another battle with orange fibers.
When he finished the second orange and prepared to call Feng Bai again, a large hand casually snatched the orange from Obito, tossing it whole into its owner's mouth for loud chewing.
"Tch, not very sweet. Where'd you buy these?"
With that boisterous voice, Obito didn't need to turn around: "Peeping tom!"
"Idiot, call me sensei!"
Jiraiya punched Obito's head. Unlike Feng Bai, he didn't hold back, making Obito clutch his head in pain.
"Lord Jiraiya."
Seeing Jiraiya's sudden appearance, Shisui immediately straightened and greeted him.
"Shisui, huh? So Fugaku sent you to look after this troublemaker?"
Having just seen this kid in Mitokado Homura's tent, Jiraiya responded casually while vigorously patting Feng Bai's shoulder.
"The revenge is too obvious, Lord Jiraiya."
Rolling his eyes, Feng Bai, interrupted by Jiraiya, couldn't continue training and could only look at him helplessly.
He hadn't figured out how to interact with the two new Uchiha, and Jiraiya had already barged in causing trouble.
"Come on, don't worry about such details."
Stroking his white hair, Jiraiya squeezed Obito out of his seat, sat down, and casually examined the fruit Rin had specially brought for Feng Bai.
"Oh, this apple's nice. Want me to peel it for you?"
Pulling out a large, red apple, Jiraiya said this but didn't follow through, directly taking a bite.
"Shisui's a good kid. It's a shame he was sent to look after you."
Looking Feng Bai up and down and seeing he was fine, Jiraiya finally relaxed, though he didn't show concern outwardly.
When Jiraiya learned Shisui and Itachi were sent to Feng Bai's side, he was curious.
As a high-ranking official, Danzo should know about the Uchiha Clan's legendary ability to control Tailed Beasts.
His son had already become a jinchūriki—logically, he shouldn't allow such close contact with the Uchiha Clan.
Fugaku seemed friendly but was actually planting a landmine. That's what Jiraiya thought.
But when Jiraiya arrived outside the tent, he understood Danzo's purpose.
Aburame Ryōma had somehow followed Danzo to the Hidden Mist battlefield and was now secretly observing all Uchiha around Feng Bai.
Was that old fox Danzo using his own son as bait?
"You seem quite idle. Instead of taking revenge on me here, why not write letters to your disciples and maintain contact?"
Feng Bai picked up the chair beside his bed, handed it to Obito while looking at Jiraiya.
This was sincere advice. Though Danzo had abandoned scheming, Uchiha Madara's followers definitely wouldn't easily let Nagato go. Regular contact would let Jiraiya clearly know his disciples' situation, and Feng Bai could use this information to decide his next actions.
His opponent having only Three Tomoe Sharingan was undoubtedly true. Even after being severely injured by the Five Nature Great Bullet, they showed no sign of advanced ocular techniques.
Unless the opponent was some ninja turtle, Feng Bai could only conclude their limit was Three Tomoe.
But would Uchiha Madara choose such a weak person as his proxy?
