Chapter 391: The Feasibility of Borrowing the Hand of Orochimaru
While waiting for rescue, Qingyu did not do any unnecessary things.
It wasn't until they were successfully rescued that Qingyu said goodbye to Moonlight Hayate and left.
Although Orochimaru was once again lost, Kakashi and others did not give up. Instead, they prepared to clean up the collapsed base and take back what they could.
Take the opportunity to follow the bombed tunnel to see if you can find any clues and continue to pursue the whereabouts of Orochimaru.
And when leaving, Moonlight Hayate whispered a few words in Qingyu's ear, which also let Qingyu know the real reason why Sarutobi urgently found Orochimaru.
It was actually to get Jiraiya to return to the village.
Qingyu thought of many things in an instant, but Sarutobi's plan was destined to be in vain.
Just let Orochimaru have a headache...
A few days later, Aoba returned to Konoha and reported in detail the entire mission process.
After learning that Orochimaru had successfully escaped in advance and cut off the clues, Sarutobi sighed.
Of course, this is not Qingyu's fault.
From Sarutobi's point of view, Aoba has done a great job. He not only found Orochimaru's real secret base through clues in the intelligence, but also took very precious photos.
What's even more commendable is that Qingyu deserves his trust, and the ninja sword of Black Hoe Leiya was indeed taken away by people from the Akatsuki organization.
But Orochimaru and the Akatsuki organization were involved, making things even more troublesome.
As for Qingyu standing still and Orochimaru escaping again, there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeking reinforcements from the village immediately was undoubtedly the right thing to do, and not impulsively attacking Orochimaru was a sign of maturity.
It's a pity that this operation lacked a little luck.
"You did a good job on this mission, and I saw that you are becoming more mature." Sarutobi said with some relief.
Qingyu, on the other hand, was thinking about how much money he could give him for completing another S-level mission.
After all, judging from the level of gold swallowing by [Ninja Sword Seven Martial Arts], even if he cheated 50 million from Scorpion, it doesn't seem to be enough.
However, Sarutobi immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard from Shikaku that your psychic technique was taught to you by Tsunade?"
Qingyu, who was instantly possessed by Oscar, nodded with a tangled look on his face.
Then Sarutobi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Tsunade won't blame you for this matter. After all, it's the village that's sorry for her, and it's understandable that she doesn't want anyone to disturb her."
"But did Tsunade tell you how to contact her? Don't think too much. Even if you really find Tsunade, Tsunade won't do anything to you, so don't have any psychological burden."
Seeing Sarutobi's 'kind' smile, Qingyu immediately understood what the old man was planning.
It's just a suspicion that he still didn't tell the truth and concealed the way to find Tsunade.
"I really believed you, you bad old man is so bad!"
Qingyu complained bitterly in his heart.
Not to mention that he didn't know at all, even if he did know and then betrayed Tsunade, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot?
How stupid does he have to be to help find Tsunade and cause trouble for himself?
Another thing, if he really betrays Tsunade, with Tsunade's character, she will definitely punch him away next time they meet.
By then Sarutobi will have achieved his goal and will definitely not care about his life or death.
So Qingyu said directly and simply: "This is really not true. Before we separated, Lady Tsunade had repeatedly asked me not to reveal any information about her. How could she tell me how to contact Lady Tsunade?"
"And you may have really misunderstood something. Tsunade-sama may have felt a little guilty, so she used necromancy to pay off the debt and didn't look at me favorably."
"If Tsunade-sama knew that I was forced to tell all these things, she would definitely not let me go."
Looking at Aoyu's extremely resentful expression, Sarutobi coughed twice in embarrassment, "Forget it if you don't know. I can promise you that the only people who know about it are me and Shikaku, and we will never mention it to anyone else, nor will we
Make it difficult for you."
"hope so"
Qingyu curled his lips, obviously not believing it.
This also made Sarutobi even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly ended the topic and said: "By the way, during your absence, Naruto got into trouble again at the Ninja School. I will give you a few days off, and you can go to the Ninja School to deal with it.
this matter."
Naruto got into trouble again?
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He was used to Sarutobi's blaming behavior.
Besides, what big deal can happen if you get into trouble at school?
Naruto wouldn't beat up the dean.
After Aoba left the Hokage Building, Sarutobi, who was standing in front of the window, began to sigh again.
If Qingyu had been born ten years earlier, maybe he would really be willing to give this brat a chance.
But the teenage Kage was really too outrageous, and the war orphans Aoba, Uchiha, and the Hyuga clan were all a little too close, which made him very uneasy.
So from the very beginning, Sarutobi never considered asking Aoyu to be the Fifth Hokage.
Maybe after a few years, Aoba will have the opportunity to compete for the position of the Sixth Hokage, but when that time comes, Sarutobi probably won't see that day either.
But what Sarutobi didn't know was that if normal development followed, a boy named Gaara would inherit the title of Kazekage when he was only 15 years old.
So is age really that important?...
On the other side, after walking out of the Hokage Building, Qingyu's eyes immediately became extremely deep.
Sarutobi would rather try his best to get Jiraiya and Tsunade back than consider waiting a few more years to list him as a candidate for Hokage.
This made him realize that his current fame and demonstrated strength could not completely reverse his disadvantages in terms of age and background.
If they just do nothing, even Jiraiya and Tsunade will not be willing to take on the important responsibility of Hokage.
The next target Sarutobi will consider will not be him!
It could be Kakashi, it could be his son
Unless these people are all dead, Sarutobi will definitely not break the rules and take the risk of handing Konoha into the hands of an underage boy.
Aoyu couldn't help but have another thought in his mind. If an opportunity was created, would it be more beneficial for Orochimaru to continue executing the Konoha collapse plan?
After all, once Sarutobi dies, even if Jiraiya and Tsunade come back, they may not fight with him.
Even if there is a competition, he may not lose by then.
He was very curious, if he went undercover and became Hokage, what kind of evaluation would appear during the settlement of the undercover mission that had been silent for so long, and what kind of reward would be given to him.
Presumably it will be at least equivalent to a golden death mission.
