The third chunin selection exam will be in one month.
During this month, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an order to be on guard and search for Orochimaru, lest Orochimaru destroy the prosperous economy brought by the coming many nobles and wealthy businessmen.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, Orochimaru was still his disciple who wanted to be spared ten years ago and couldn't bear to kill him. He was not strong enough to withstand the entire Konoha.
Judging from the situation where Orochimaru Kigui was too cowardly to show his face and only cast a Heavenly Curse Seal on Uchiha Sasuke, he just had his eye on the last Uchiha clansman.
Secretly, Sarutobi and Hiruzen Akira sent many people to pay attention to Uchiha Sasuke. They used Uchiha Sasuke as a bait to lure snakes out, and they also had the intention of protecting Uchiha Sasuke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think that Orochimaru could cause any trouble in the strict Konoha Village, because Konoha Village was so powerful that not just Orochimaru could deal with it. Many family ninjas in Konoha Village were very powerful, and
Jiraiya, his fellow disciple and one of the Sannin of Konoha, has also returned to the village.
"Self, don't leave when you come back, the village needs you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said sadly in the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's three apprentices, the mutinous mutiny, the collecting style, and the leaving village, he knew what was going on, but he felt a little helpless and had no choice in taking up the leaf village.
It was impossible for him to get three apprentices or everyone to agree.
As he gets older and gradually becomes unable to do what he wants, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer has many choices. Only Jiraiya becoming the next Hokage is the one that best meets his own expectations or those of everyone in Konoha Village.
As for Hyuga Neji...
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already discussed with Hyuga Hizatsu that after the chuunin selection was over, he would be swept away for Jiraiya.
It's impossible not to sweep him away. Hyuga Neji covets the position of Hokage of Konoha. The important thing is not that he covets the position of Hokage of Konoha. The important thing is that he has this ability. This cannot be allowed to exist.
"Haha... Old man, you're okay..." Jiraiya is tall, wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil" written on it, with long white hair reaching his waist, and there are red marks on his eyes straight down.
This mark grows longer as he grows.
He was wearing a red outer coat, with brown clothes underneath, and wooden clogs on his feet. He slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi playfully, unwilling to take over the stall in Konoha.
"I'm not joking." Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: "Hyuga Neji of the Hyuga branch has solved the Cage Bird Curse Seal. The Hyuga clan is already unstable and has begun to split."
"Huh? Hyuga Neji..." Jiraiya's face lost his smile. He thought about it for a moment before he remembered, "He is Hizashi...'s son..."
·”
Jiraiya remembered that Hyuga Neji was the son of Hyuga Hizashi, and recalled Hyuga Hizashi's experience of dying in place of his brother. He knew that this must have been fueled by his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Jiraiya chewed Hizashi's son and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a complicated expression.
What Hiruzen Sarutobi did when he was Hokage was the biggest reason why Jiraiya and Tsunade were unwilling to return to the village.
Jiraiya was silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that because he was in the position of Hokage, some things that were difficult to say were more or less guessed by Jiraiya and Tsunade, and he realized that he was not the majestic, kind and bright teacher they imagined.
thereby alienating yourself.
But as the Hokage of Konoha, facing external and internal instability, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked himself that he could do his best.
Although there are still many regrets caused by him.
"Hyuga Neji is a genius, a genius more genius than anyone else. The elementary, intermediate, and advanced blood-repairing meatballs he developed are enough to hang a person's life on the line, and they sell for a lot of money; he created a body
In the martial arts system, in terms of physical arts, he is completely a master-level figure.
He just developed the Flying Thunder God based on the traces of the Fourth Hokage. When he heard about Tsunade's strange power, he developed a strange power suitable for Tiantian use. It is even better than Tsunade's strange power and can even be activated with ninja tools."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious expression.
Jiraiya looked surprised, "Is this true?"
He doesn't come back to Konoha Village often. During the six years since Hyuga Neji grew up, he hasn't heard much about Hyuga Neji's deeds and doesn't know the specific things about Hyuga Neji.
But I have heard of flesh and blood repair pills, but in the past six years, Jiraiya has not asked for them to the extent of using flesh and blood repair pills, and he has not purchased them. Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very taboo about the matter of Hyuga Neji, and he has not
To say more, regarding Hyuga Neji, Jiraiya really didn’t know that Hyuga Neji was so powerful.
Even the flying thunder god and strange powers can be researched by oneself.
This is not simple.
He is truly a genius comparable to the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
And to be able to achieve such achievements at the age of twelve, Jiraiya suspected that his inventive talent was even greater than that of the Second Hokage.
But then, Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm expression, and suddenly felt that he, the teacher, might be doing something stupid.
For a Konoha ninja with such a talent, could his teacher be...
"Really, the level of Neji's genius is frightening. His ideas may break the peace and lead the ninja world into a more tragic war." Sarutobi Hiruzen said deeply.
"Genius's ideas may be radical and unique." Jiraiya said with a slight hesitation.
What he wanted to say was that maybe it would be better to educate and educate Hyuga Neji through personal teaching, so that Hyuga Neji could realize the cruelty of the ninja world and the ruthlessness of war, and guide Hyuga Neji towards a peaceful future. Wouldn't that be better?
But Jiraiya saw that his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi had already made a verdict against Hyuga Neji, believing that Hyuga Neji's thoughts had deviated from the will of fire he wanted. Jiraiya could only sigh deeply in his heart.
Already.
His teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi... remained the same.
Are you going to destroy a shining star in Konoha Village again?
Just because he doesn't follow your ideas, teacher...can't he accept it...Hyuuga Neji...is also from the Leaf Village.
"Jiraiya, if I am gone, I hope you can take over the position of Hokage, and do not let an ambitious man who wants to start a war wantonly become Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.
"Ah...haha...how could it be...I forgot to go collecting folk songs today..." Jiraiya said haha, not wanting to communicate with Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he started
