Yuhi Hong was slightly startled and said, "I'll open the door."
She put down the documents and walked to the door, fastening her collar on the way.
"Jiraiya-sama?"
Yuhi Hong opened the door with a surprised expression on her face.
In front of her was a middle-aged man with white hair, wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil" printed on it, a red coat, and two streaks of red oil paint on his face.
"red?"
Jiraiya looked her over, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect you to look so beautiful after changing your clothes."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yuhi Hong felt that his eyes were a bit lewd, and she felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the rumors about him.
Compared with Natsume, it is far behind.
"You are here to see Mr. Hokage, right? Then I won't disturb you and leave first."
Yuhi Hong bowed slightly, turned and left.
Jiraiya glanced sideways, and didn't look back until his back disappeared.
He turned around and saw the expressionless Natsume. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello: "Hokage-sama."
In his words, he didn’t care too much.
In his opinion, men are all so astringent.
This has been the case since Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Natsume, let Yuhi Kurenai be the secretary, she is probably about the same as him.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
But when he saw Yuhi Kurenai, it was another matter.
Natsume secretly sighed, people really have double standards.
"Jiraiya-sama, what do you want to do with me?"
"I heard about your glorious achievements while away, so I couldn't help but come back to take a look."
Jiraiya showed a bright smile on his face and said, "It's much better than the old man."
He left Konoha Village mainly because of the prophecy of Mount Miaomu.
But it is also somewhat related to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He really couldn't stand the various slutty moves he made in his later years.
Compared with this, Natsume looks wise and powerful.
Jiraiya has been investigating him these days.
I've asked many people and the answers I got were pretty much the same.
Everyone was full of praise for Natsume.
This made Jiraiya even more certain that he was the son of prophecy.
"I don't think Jiraiya-sama came back just to praise me, right?"
Natsume picked up a document and said, "I've met a lot of people these days, but they haven't come to see me."
Jiraiya was not embarrassed by being exposed.
As a Hokage, if you can't even grasp his traces in Konoha Village, then you are really a loser.
Or the power is being emptied out.
"The main reason is that I don't know you very well."
The smile on Jiraiya's face did not diminish, and he explained, "Your teacher and I are teammates. If she can accept you as her disciple, she must have extraordinary strengths. But as the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing, so I still invite you, Hokage-sama.
forgive."
"So what conclusion did you draw?"
Natsume asked without raising her head.
"Hokage-sama, do you know the Great Toad Sage?"
Jiraiya didn't answer his question directly.
"Know."
Natsume smiled slightly and said, "I am a contractor of Shigu Forest."
Jiraiya sighed secretly.
such a pity.
He and Hiruzen Sarutobi have similar ideas.
In fact, Tsunade is not suitable to be Natsume's teacher.
Because she doesn't have much to teach.
But he was one step ahead and there was nothing he could do.
"The Great Toad Sage once made a prophecy, asking me to find a son of destiny who can bring peace to the ninja world."
Jiraiya said sincerely, "I think you might be."
"me?"
Natsume shook his head and said, "I don't think I am a child of prophecy."
"Why?"
Jiraiya was a little surprised and asked, "Now that you have power comparable to the god of the ninja world, don't you want to do something?"
"If you mean bringing peace to the ninja world, that's not something I can do alone."
Natsume said casually, "When everyone is a child of prophecy, true peace will usher in."
"This is impossible!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened when he heard this, and he subconsciously denied it.
Although what Natsume said seemed to make sense, in his opinion, it was an offense to the Great Toad Sage.
He would not accept this argument.
"The predictions made by the Great Toad Immortal are never wrong."
Jiraiya said firmly, "Only the Children of Prophecy can bring peace to the ninja world."
"So what do you want me to do?"
Natsume glanced at him and asked.
"Nature finds the way to peace."
Jiraiya said without thinking, "Although I don't know now, the son of the prophecy will definitely know."
"Jiraiya-sama, don't you think it's a bit illusory to pin everyone's hopes on one person?"
Natsume twitched the corners of his lips and asked.
"That's what the prophecy said."
Jiraiya was silent for a while before answering.
What a sad life.
Natsume was too lazy to talk anymore and asked, "Jiraiya-sama, are you looking for me just to talk about the Son of Prophecy?"
Jiraiya noticed the impatience in his tone and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This was the first time he met a ninja who didn't care about the prophecy so much.
Could it be the influence of the Slug Immortal?
He thought for a moment and decided to postpone the matter of accepting disciples for now.
After all, Natsume doesn't believe in Myobokuzan, so naturally she won't be his apprentice.
"Hokage-sama, do you remember that when the old man was in office, a mysterious Wood Release strongman appeared and took Uchiha Shisui away?"
Jiraiya asked with a serious expression on his face.
"I remember. But until now, no trace of him has been found."
Natsume pretended to be confused and said, "Jiraiya-sama mentioned this because there are clues?"
"good."
Jiraiya nodded and said, "That mysterious Wood Release strongman comes from an organization. Currently, I have locked in a member named Kakuzu."
"Kakuzu? I have heard of this name. He is a famous bounty hunter in the black market."
Natsume paused and asked, "Are you sure your clues are correct?"
"Um."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Kakuzu used to be a lone traveler, but in recent years, he often travels with a teammate. Moreover, the two of them are wearing the same set of clothes. There is no doubt that they are from the same organization."
"This is surprising."
Natsume touched his chin and said, "Under the eyes of the five major villages, for an organization to be able to absorb such powerful people, I'm afraid it's a big deal."
"I also think so."
Jiraiya showed a solemn expression, "For the safety of Konoha Village, this organization must be uncovered."
"Um."
Natsume agreed and said, "Leave this matter to Lord Jiraiya. Konoha Village will give you all its support."
"yes!"
Jiraiya answered with a serious tone, then relaxed and said with a smile, "I knew Hokage-sama would agree."
The purpose of his coming to see Natsume was precisely to get his approval.
Although he has a high status, he is not Hokage after all.
Outside the country, if you want to mobilize some personnel or resources, you must ask for permission.
But this seems slower.
If you miss a good opportunity, you will lose more than you gain.
Therefore, it is necessary to say hello in advance.
Of course, let’s take a look at Natsume’s character.
For now, although he doesn't care much about the prophecy, he is quite concerned about Konoha Village.
Based on this, he is definitely not an evil person.
After Jiraiya finished talking about these two things, he disappeared without stopping.
Hokage Secretary's Office.
An ANBU ninja appeared and informed Jiraiya of his departure.
Kurenai Yuhi nodded and came to the door of the Hokage's office.
She reached out and unbuttoned the top button, highlighting the white curves.
"Natsume."
Yuhi Kurenai opened the door and entered, asking, "Jiraiya-sama, is there anything I need to tell you?"
"Just ask the ANBU to cooperate with his actions."
Natsume waved his hand casually and said.
He was not interested in caring about Jiraiya's life or death.
Since he has embarked on the old path of investigating the Akatsuki organization as in the original work, let him go.
"OK."
Yuhi Hong answered ably and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"there is none left."
Natsume thought for a while and said, "Sister Hong, go and do your work."
But Yuhi Hong did not leave, but stood there, looking a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
Natsume didn't hear the sound of high heels, so she raised her head and asked.
"How do you feel now?"
Yuhi Hong's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and she said with concern, "I saw that you were quite tired earlier. If you are still tired, I can continue to massage you."
"It's okay now."
Natsume was slightly startled, but still a little moved.
"That's good."
Yuhi Hong breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile, and said, "It's hard to deal with the affairs of Konoha Village. If you feel tired next time, you can come to me again."
"Most definitely."
Natsume agreed without hesitation.
How can you refuse such a good thing?
"I'll go back to the office first. Call me if you need anything."
Yuhi Hong turned around and left on high heels.
As he closed the door, he smiled at Natsume again.
With her leaning over the sloping hill, it looks quite alluring.
"really not bad."
Natsume once again lamented that being Hokage wasn't all about hard work.
There is currently only one Hokage secretary, Kurenai Yuhi.
When Yamanaka Ino grows up, there will be two of them.
Ahem.
Let’s talk about this later.
Natsume came back to his senses and took care of the official business of Konoha Village.
After a while, I fell into a state of doing nothing.
He thought for a while and planned to take a look at his student, Uchiha Sasuke.
The art of Flying Thunder God is performed.
Natsume appeared in the Uchiha clan.
"Natsume-sensei."
When Uchiha Sasuke saw him, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
He already knew that it was Natsume who helped Ghost Light City and his party open his eyes, so he was quite grateful to him.
After gaining enlightenment, his eye power is increasing every moment.
When it reaches a certain limit, you can open the Mangekyō Sharingan.
And it doesn’t require strong emotional stimulation, it will happen naturally.
"It seems you are recovering well."
Natsume looked him up and down and said.
"Thank you, teacher."
Uchiha Sasuke hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly and said.
This is an extremely rare thing for him.
First, Natsume is really nice to him.
The second is Uchiha Mikoto's request.
In the words of his mother, although Natsume is only a few years older than you, once he is a teacher, he will always be a father. You cannot be too casual in front of him and treat him like an elder.
