Perhaps it was the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen that made Konohamaru understand that the other party could not protect him for the rest of his life, even if the other party was the Third Hokage. Although some people will remember the Third Hokage from now on, and some will remember that Konohamaru is the grandson of the Third Hokage, but
It is absolutely impossible for the ninjas of Konoha to indulge Konohamaru as they did before.
There will always be a day when the elders' Yu Ze is exhausted. Konohamaru suddenly wakes up and realizes that except for Huibis, he has not made friends with any jounin or special jounin when Sarutobi Hiruzen was alive, even if he was familiar with them.
None.
This couldn't help but make Konohamaru hate himself at the time.
As Konohamaru's uncle, Sarutobi Asuma will of course teach him seriously and without reservation, and Whibis's love for him is unquestionable, but at the same time, Konohamaru, who has experienced the death of a close relative, has gradually
As you mature, you begin to sort out and recognize the network of relationships around you, and use this to seize every opportunity to make yourself stronger.
Nara Shikamaru, who has become famous in the Konoha Village and has a hidden master-disciple relationship with Sarutobi Asuma, is also in the eyes of Konohamaru at this time. Even compared to Sarutobi Asuma and Ebis,
Shikamaru, who is close in age to Konohamaru, can make him realize the difference even more.
However, looking at the child in front of him who was trying hard to stop sobbing but always failing, Shikamaru found himself confused whether it was Sarutobi Asuma who had helped him a lot or this helpless and thin figure.
Can't refuse.
"good!"
…………
Koharu and Mito Kabuto found Jiraiya on the top floor of a building not far from Konoha Hot Spring.
Although Jiraiya always makes himself act absurd, it can be judged from some actions that his nature is not like this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen died, and Konoha Village had just experienced a big battle and looked weak. Jiraiya understood this and did not leave Konoha Village. Instead, he temporarily took root in Konoha Village.
It announced to the outside world that there was a ninja with extraordinary strength sitting in Konoha Village, and it also served as the backbone for the wandering people in the village.
"You're still the same, Jiraiya," Koharu said dissatisfiedly when he saw Jiraiya holding up a telescope when he went to bed, "You're always doing such boring things."
"Don't say that, I'm doing this just to collect information!" Jiraiya put the telescope in his arms and defended his behavior.
However, when they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kaden obviously didn't like Jiraiya's behavior, and they still looked at him expressionlessly.
"It turns out to be Uncle Menyan and Teacher Xiaoharu!" Jiraiya turned around with a smile, looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you two want from me?"
"What are you talking about? You should already understand!" Mito Kabuto frowned and looked at Jiraiya and said: "Although Sunagakure Village has announced its unconditional surrender, this cannot directly make up for the losses of Konoha Village."
"The power of Konoha Village has now become very low. In this case, we must assume that we may encounter a more terrible crisis and make adequate preparations." Koharu said, "In this situation
At that time, every neighboring country may make bold actions, or even provoke the Fire Country and even Konoha. At that time, we in Konoha must treat it tough and not be looked down upon."
"Listen carefully Jiraiya," Mito Kadoyan looked at Jiraiya seriously and said, "Konoha Village now urgently needs a leader who is strong enough and worthy of everyone's trust, that is, the fifth generation Hokage!
"
"In the emergency meeting with the Daimyo of the Fire Country held yesterday, the two of us proposed that you take the position, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country also agreed to this proposal." Koharu said after going to bed.
"Sorry!" After Jiraiya heard Koharu's words, he didn't look happy. Instead, he waved his hand seriously and refused, "I'm not suitable for this position."
"Jiraiya!" Koharu's voice turned sharp when he heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, he stared at Jiraiya and said, "This is something your teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi told us seriously before he died, and it has been
After discussions with the Daimyos of the Land of Fire, this is something that has been decided and cannot be refused by you!"
"No," Jiraiya smiled bitterly, rubbing his neck that was slightly sore from peeping before, and explained to Koharu and Mito Kadobu who had gone to bed: "My personality is indeed not suitable for being Hokage, but I have better
candidate."
"You must have read Yamato's report!" Jiraiya said to the two of them: "Since we have to arrange manpower to find and protect her, why not just use this to bring her back to Konoha."
"Speaking of which, as the granddaughter of the first Hokage and one of the 'Three Ninjas', Tsunade, who used her excellent medical ninjutsu to treat countless Konoha ninjas during the war, is actually more suitable to be the Hokage than me!" Jiraiya!
He also said with a smile, and after thinking for a while, he added: "And she is much smarter than me!"
Koharu and Mito Katoyan looked at each other when they went to bed. Mito Kadoyan said hesitantly: "Tsunade does have the ability to be the Hokage, but no one knows where she is now. We need to find her."
I don’t know how long it will take, but Konoha urgently needs the Fifth Hokage to take charge.”
"Don't worry!" Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and confidently said to the two of them: "I will find Tsunade myself and bring her back to Konoha Village!"
"In that case, we will send two jounin to go with you!" Koharu said after hesitating for a moment when he went to bed.
"With the current manpower of the village, it is a bit tight to send two Jonin!" Jiraiya chuckled after hearing this, and said to the two of them: "If you are sending someone to monitor me, there is no need.
I also know the current situation in Ye Village, and I will not run away."
"I have also found out the sealing technique that Sarutobi-sensei used on Orochimaru. It was the super forbidden technique that Minato used to seal the Nine-Tails. Orochimaru is seriously injured now and must seek help from Tsunade." Jiraiya.
He continued: "He knows Tsunade's weakness, and with Orochimaru's character, it is impossible for him to lead many subordinates to search for it in a big way."
Not to mention the loss of the Ninja Village during the Konoha invasion, and the indispensable resident manpower to maintain the operation of a Ninja Village, even Orochimaru's own character would not like to expose his weak self to his subordinates.
Jiraiya, who grew up and fought with him, was extremely sure of this.
"So you don't need to send too many people with me," Jiraiya said after thinking for a while: "You only need to send a few genin to help me find Tsunade!"
…………
"The two of them, Koharu and Mito Kaden, are going to let Jiraiya go find Tsunade!?" Danzo Shimura muttered to himself.
As both elders, it was difficult to hide any moves of Koharu and Mito Monobu from Shimura Danzo, especially if they involved personnel transfers. A few hours later, Shimura Danzo had already received the information from his informant.
Specific news.
Shimura Danzo came back to his senses and looked at his subordinate who was half kneeling on the ground in front of him.
This is a boy with pale skin, short ear-length hair, and a delicate face. He is wearing a pure black midriff-baring shorts and trousers of the same color. He has a short ninja sword stuck in his back and a wooden stick on his forehead.
Ye Hu's forehead was carefully tied up, with a cold expression on his face.
"This time Mito Kaden was originally going to let Nara Shikamaru, a genin who performed well in the Chuunin exams, lead the team. However, your ninjutsu has many uses, and you are not weak in investigation. Besides, you are also a Chunin. I will recommend you.
Join the team and lead other genin." Danzo Shimura looked thoughtfully at the young man kneeling on the ground and said slowly: "You already understand the mission. From today on, your name will be '鶗鴃'. I understand.
What!"
"Understood!" The boy who was half kneeling on the ground nodded and replied.
'鶗鴃' is another name for the cuckoo bird. It is said that they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, and are usually born earlier than other birds. As soon as they are born, they push the eggs of other birds out of the nest.
, and was raised by adoptive parents. The cold-faced boy thought about the plan Shimura Danzo had given him, and felt that this name seemed very appropriate!
