22 Chapter 22 Nostalgia

{AN:- Shutsujin soundtrack recommended while reading the chapter}

Konoha.

Spiritual Training Ground.

"What happened after you died?"

Hearing his question, Satoshi was silent for a moment as he looked at Jiraiya and saw him nervously looking at him.

"Sigh…"

"I really want him to meet with everyone!!"

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Satoshi sighed in his heart as he really wanted to take Jiraiya outside this place.

Jiraiya trained Naruto and loved Tsunade, but just when things were finally going to work out, he died leaving a lot of regrets.

But he wasn't discouraged much as since the system can bring him back in a soul state, resurrecting him in the future might not be a stretch.

"Lord Jiraiya, I don't know much but in the history books, it is said you died fighting an enemy a little while earlier from the 4th Shinobi World War."

Spoke Satoshi as he wasn't lying, in the history book it was written that Jiraiya died fighting an enemy prior to the war.

"4th Ninja World War?"

A shocked and disappointed look appeared on the face of Jiraiya as even after his death, the endless fight never stopped.

"Who did Konoha fight in the war?"

Now that he had asked, Jiraiya naturally wanted to hear details though he wasn't as excited as before.

"Lord Jiraiya, I don't know much but all the five great villages formed an alliance to fight a strong enemy!!"

"What!!!

A surprised expression appeared on the face of Jiraiya as he stared at Satoshi with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

From the day he was born, all Jiraiya saw were killing, and the thirst for revenge, he always waited for the day when people would understand each other.

Now hearing what he always dreamed about had come true surprised Jiraiya.

"Who was the enemy?"

After being shocked for a while, Jiraiya finally calmed down as he asked waiting eagerly for more details.

"I don't know Lord Jiraiya, it has been 9 years already since the war, I only know that all the nations fought a formidable enemy."

Spoke Satoshi as Jiraiya was a bit let down hearing his words, but he could understand the reason behind hiding such things from children as it can cause unrest.

"So, it's been more than 9 years already, huh?"

From his words, Jiraiya did get some useful information though, knowing how much time had passed.

"I don't know who the enemy was but I do know who was the one that defeated the enemy, Lord Jiraiya"

"Who was it!!!?"

Just when Jiraiya had given up on being able to get more details, Satoshi suddenly spoke again as the eyes of Jiraiya lit up and he looked at him intensely and asked quickly.

"They call him the war hero, the savior of the world, and the... child of prophecy…"

Seeing the expectant look in Jiraiya's eyes, Satoshi decided to tease him a little as he deliberately didn't say the real name.

"War Hero…Child of Prophecy…"

Jiraiya murmured, his heart beating fast as he looked at Satoshi his eyes exposing his nervousness.

"He's Konoha's Hero and the current Seventh Hokage…Uzumaki Naruto…"

BOOM!!!

Satoshi spoke loudly and as soon as he completed his words, an explosion seemed to have set off in the mind of Jiraiya as he unknowingly fell into his memories.

"Sensei...can...I name my son after the hero of this story?"

A handsome figure with yellow hair holding a book in his hands asked Jiraiya who sat before him on the other side of the table.

"Ha...are you sure...I thought of this name while eating Ramen!"

Jiraiya asked back with surprise all over his face looking at Minato wondering what happened to him.

"No...Sensei...his will to never give up really inspired me, I want my son to be like the hero in this story"

Said Minato smiling as finally a smile also crept over Jiraiya's face.

---------------

"I'm going to bring back Sasuke one day and make the villagers recognize me"

On the hospital bed. lay a kid with blonder hair and whiskers over his face and all of his body was bandaged as he spoke to Jiraiya who appeared in the window.

"You should quickly understand the truth of Ninja World, forget about Sasuke, this world has no place for Idiots"

Hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya had some emotion in his eyes but he quickly hide it and wanted to stop Naruto from the path of suffering.

He could never bring his friend back, he didn't want Naruto to suffer the same way as him.

"If giving up on my friend makes me smart, I'd rather stay a fool all my life...so what if I can't learn awesome Jutsu...I'll create powerful Jutsu on my own and bring him back..."

"Believe it, cuz I never go back on my Ninja Way!!"

Shouted Naruto flashing a smile to Jiraiya who sat stunned in the window looking at Naruto his words really affecting him deeply.

"Hahaha!!!!"

The memories of the past kept flashing in his mind and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes as Jiraiya began to laugh like a fool.

"You really did it!!"

The laughter of Jiraiya didn't recede, his eyes still moist as he thought feeling immensely proud.

"Ha..."

Satoshi who watched Jiraiya laughing like a fool chuckled as he knew this was the biggest surprise Jiraiya could ever hope for.
