Chapter 178: Disappointed Jiraiya(1/2)
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed his pipe.
Clouds and mist surround the surroundings, making people dizzy.
"So? Aren't you going to explain it to me?
Tell me, what happened?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said:
"The cause of the matter is Hatake Kakashi's defection."
Jiraiya's expression did not change.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were incomprehensible.
"It seems you are not surprised that Kakashi defected.
Do you know something?
Moreover, after Kakashi returned from his mission, he suddenly gained a Sharingan.
Do you have any idea about this?"
Jiraiya looked gloomy and said:
"We'll talk about this later, I just want to know why Naruto and Sasuke defected?!
I don’t know about Sasuke, but Naruto, that kid, has a kind heart and there’s no way he would do such a thing for no reason!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes.
"That kid already had problems with the village before.
He would rather trust outsiders than..."
"That's enough! Don't you have any idea why Naruto has any objections?
Do you still want to put all the blame on Naruto?!
Don't forget what his father, Minato, did for Konoha.
And what did Naruto experience in Konoha!"
Jiraiya almost roared.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled for a moment.
This was the first time he saw Jiraiya like this.
And this attitude was still towards him.
Jiraiya took a breath, suppressed his anger, and said:
"Besides, I don't think Naruto will defect just because of this."
He stared into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and said word by word:
"Tell me what happened!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a breath and said:
"It's Danzo..."
In order to lure out Kakashi, Danzo was really planning to attack Naruto and Sasuke.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen had already opposed this plan, Danzo insisted on having his own way.
But Danzo's understanding of the two of them was still at the time of the Chunin Examination.
And Naruto's nine tails were taken away.
Just two genin.
So naturally, the hunting plan failed.
But this time in Konoha Village, the backstab from the village made Naruto completely disappointed in Konoha.
Why Sasuke left, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know very well.
As for Kakashi's other student, Haruno Sakura, her presence was so low that Danzo didn't even notice.
Presumably Kakashi wouldn't care either.
"It's Danzo again!"
Killing intent flashed across Jiraiya's eyes.
He raised his head and stared closely into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
"Old man, I don't believe Danzo did these things, you have no idea at all.
Before, you showed your sword to your own people.
Now, you are stabbing your own people directly with the blade.
Then in the future, will you continue to slaughter your own people wantonly?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned red when he heard this.
"I did warn Danzo.
He won't listen, what can I do?!
Moreover, Danzo didn’t want to kill them!”
Jiraiya looked at the ceiling and murmured:
"It doesn't matter anymore.
When you take action against them, nothing will matter anymore.
Now I think it might be better if this ninja world is destroyed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned when he heard this.
He always felt that Jiraiya's words had some inexplicable meaning.
"Jiraiya, what do you mean?"
Jiraiya ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.
After a long while, he lowered his head and said:
“Where’s Danzo?
What punishment did he get for attacking one of his own people?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and said:
"I've told him to shut up and think about it."
Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly laughed.
"That is to say, there is no punishment, right?"
What happened to this village?
Jiraiya's eyes were full of sadness and disappointment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said:
"I admit that Danzo did something inappropriate in this matter.
But he is also the elder of the village after all.
The village needs him.
If you take any big action rashly, it will also cause panic among the villagers."
Jiraiya smiled bitterly in his heart.
Punish Danzo for fear of causing panic.
Wouldn't it be fine if Danzo attacked one of his own?
Ah, that's right, after all, the people in the village wanted Naruto to die.
Uchiha's reputation is not very good in the village.
He waved his hands and said feebly:
"Old man, you don't need to say anything.
Take a good look at this.
I suggest you hold a meeting of the Five Shadows."
Jiraiya threw a scroll, turned around and walked away.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, took the scroll and said:
"Jiraiya, where are you going?"
Jiraiya waved his hand and did not answer.
