Yunting has been coveting the third generation crystal ball for a long time, and now he finally got it in his hands.

But after he happily tried it several times, he unexpectedly discovered that the crystal ball was not as omnipotent as he thought.

In principle, it can indeed monitor every move of a person within the Leaf Village from a distance, but this requires mastering the person's chakra characteristics.

In other words, it is difficult to detect someone in a crystal ball if you don’t know them well.

The Third Hokage was able to keep his eyes on the crystal ball for a whole day because he had become very familiar with everyone in Konoha over the past few decades.

Nowadays, Yunting can only use the crystal ball to check a few familiar people at most.

Originally, he had secretly visited several bathhouses that were full of business... Bah, bah, bah!

It should be said that it is the commercial street near the bathhouse.

This allows him to understand the livelihood of the people in Konoha Village without going out.

It's a pity that this livelihood project that has been launched now will not be realized in a short time.

Forget it, it’s better than nothing, let’s see how Ritsuko Yamanaka’s black-stocked girl... is doing in her poverty alleviation work.

Just do it.

Yunting uses the telescope technique on the crystal ball.

In an instant, a familiar face appeared in the crystal ball.

......

The gate of Konoha.

Just as Yuntei, the Fourth Hokage, was painstakingly inspecting the work of his subordinates, the two Konoha garrison ninjas who were carefully guarding the entrance to Konoha suddenly frowned, opened two pairs of Sharingan, and looked not far away

Running towards here, the extremely fast figure said sternly:

"Who is it? Stop it!"

The speed of arrivals remains unabated.

Just when the two Uchiha ninjas couldn't help but want to take action, the other party finally stopped at the gate and said with emotion:

"He's back after all!"

"Who are you? Come on...eh? Are you Jiraiya-sama?"

An Uchiha ninja was about to ask the person's identity, but when he noticed the other person's conspicuous white hair and the word "oil" on his forehead, his heart moved. Then he looked at the person's face, and finally confirmed that it was correct.

Then he changed his words.

"Are you... Shigeru Uchiha?" At the gate, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha, turned his head and said with a hearty smile.

"I didn't expect Jiraiya-sama to still remember my name." Uchiha Shigeru said in surprise.

When Konoha was at war with the Earth Kingdom, he briefly followed Jiraiya, who was the commander-in-chief of the Earth Kingdom at the time. This is why he was able to recognize Jiraiya.

"As a commander, it is natural for you to recognize each of your subordinates."

If it were normal, Jiraiya would definitely have a smug expression on his face when he said these words.

But now his usual smile is a bit forced.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shigeru quickly guessed the reason based on the major events that happened in the village before, and quickly registered Jiraiya without any further delay.

"Jiraiya-sama, welcome back to Konoha, you can go in." Uchiha Shigeru said.

"Thank you, Shigeru." Jiraiya patted the other party's shoulder, and just as he was about to enter, he suddenly paused and asked in a low voice, "Orochimaru...is it really as reported by the outside world?

”

Uchiha Shigeru nodded.

Jiraiya was silent for a while, and finally walked into Konoha.

Uchiha Shigeru looked back and felt that the back of one of the Sannin of Konoha, who was famous in the ninja world, was very lonely.

A quarter of an hour later.

While Yunting was still looking at the crystal ball tirelessly, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air outside the window, followed immediately by the appearance of the ANBU guarding him and the harsh scolding.

Yun Ting frowned slightly and quickly put away the crystal ball to cover it up. Then he turned to the window and saw a familiar person standing in front of him above the eaves, surrounded by a group of ANBU ninjas.<

/p>

"What a fuss, let Mr. Jiraiya come in." Yunting said with a smile and waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the dark surroundings quickly dispersed.

Jiraiya, who caused all this, scratched his head in embarrassment.

After jumping into the Hokage's office from the window, he quickly apologized to Yunting: "Sorry, sorry! When the third generation teacher was here, I was used to climbing up the window, and I forgot to change it back."

Yunting said indifferently: "Mr. Jiraiya, there is no need to change it in the future. I will give the order and the Anbu will not stop it again."

Jiraiya shook his head: "Let's forget it. After all, it is a willful act. It can be corrected or should be corrected."

As he said that, he looked at the Hokage's office, which now had a completely different style, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness to the Konoha in front of him.

After all, it was a new person replacing an old one. In the past, after seeing his face, ANBU would never come out to stop him.

But now, times have changed.

The freedom and willfulness that existed in the third generation is no longer appropriate for the fourth generation.

In particular, the latter was not very familiar with him, and they were even considered love rivals in a sense because of Tsunade.

Therefore, Jiraiya, who looks optimistic on the outside but is very delicate on the inside, knows that he must also change.

Seeing this, Yunting didn't try to persuade him any more, and instead asked, "Why did Mr. Jiraiya suddenly return to Konoha? Didn't you write the previous letter that you were collecting scenery in the western part of the continent?"

"Yes, the shrine maidens in the Ghost Country in the western part of the mainland have a unique flavor. I originally wanted to collect more materials there. But I heard a piece of news in the middle, so I hurried back." At the end of the sentence, Jiraiya's expression changed.

I became solemn.

"Is it because of Orochimaru?" Yunting said lightly.

Jiraiya took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

"Then what does Mr. Jiraiya want to do? Accusing the village of not killing Orochimaru? Let's not talk about the fact that he was unwilling to be captured and had already defected. Just for his own selfishness, he killed the villagers and conducted inhumane and taboo experiments.

, it would not be a pity to die. There is sufficient evidence for these accusations. If Mr. Jiraiya doesn't believe it, you can go check it out. But please remember one thing, don't put personal relationships above Konoha's legal principles!" Yunting said nothing.

Be polite.

Jiraiya listened and said nothing for a long time.

To be honest, he didn't know why he rushed back desperately after hearing the news.

Things had already happened, and it was too late for him to change.

But it was that impulse, the emotion that had been with Orochimaru for decades that drove him to come back.

But at this moment, standing in front of Yunting, who was the Fourth Hokage, he didn't know what to say.

Just as the other party said, Orochimaru deserved his death, and everything Konoha did was reasonable and proper.

So, what can he ask?

Ask Yunting why he didn't show mercy in the first place and wait until he comes back to reform Orochimaru and let him become a new man?

Can it be done?

Jiraiya shook his head. Although he was naive at times, he also knew that Orochimaru's character would not be influenced by him.

The only blame is that I, as a teammate, didn't pull Orochimaru back in time after discovering something strange about Orochimaru, thus letting him embark on a path of no return.

Jiraiya's eyes dimmed, and he finally said: "I have no objection to what the village is doing. It's just that as an old friend of many years, I want to bid farewell to Orochimaru for the last time, and ask the Hokage for your permission."

"Orochimaru's body is now in the analysis room. Jiraiya-senpai takes my warrant and goes to say goodbye."

Yunting did not reject Jiraiya's request, but wrote a warrant and handed it over to the other party.

After Jiraiya thanked him, he quickly left the Hokage's office.

This time he walked through the door.

At this time, looking at his back, Yunting thought it was someone else.

Now that this person is here.
Chapter completed!
