Chapter 193: The Fifth Hokage is victorious! Konoha is victorious!
Chapter 193: The Fifth Hokage is victorious! Konoha is victorious!
Jiraiya is kind-hearted by nature. After accidentally entering Mt. Miaomu and receiving a shocking opportunity, he firmly believed in the prophecy told by the Great Toad Immortal.
The Second Ninja War was not over yet, and Jiraiya met Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, three war orphans from the Rain Country.
Out of guilt, he decided to settle Nagato and the others before returning to the village.
As a result, he accidentally discovered Nagato's Samsara Eye and believed that Nagato was the prophesied son foreseen by the Great Toad Sage in his dream!
He resolutely stayed to take care of and teach Nagato and the others for three years.
You know, the Second Ninja War was not over yet.
As one of Konoha's top combat powers, Jiraiya's reckless behavior caused considerable losses to Konoha.
To put it bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to treat Jiraiya as a traitorous ninja.
However, such willful behavior was suppressed by Sandai, so he did not receive any serious punishment.
On the other hand, Hatake Sakumo spent his whole life fighting for the village and made great contributions, but he was forced to death by the village.
After his death, he became a coward despised by the whole village. How could he be so miserable?
The third generation's protection for Jiraiya is genuine, and Jiraiya's feelings for the third generation are also very deep.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe the relationship between the two of them as 'master'.
Now, the Great Toad Sage accurately stated the characteristics of the prophesied child. For the mission he shoulders, for the peace of the ninja world, and to avenge his teacher, it is not surprising that Jiraiya made such a choice.
He is also a resolute person.
After making the decision, he did not drag his feet, lifted the reverse channeling technique, and left Miaomu Mountain.
In an open-air hot spring hotel in Takino Country, Jiraiya appeared out of thin air.
The custom girl next to her had bright eyes.
She didn't expect that what this white-haired old pervert just boasted to her was true!
To serve such an outstanding ninja, her money is indispensable.
Immediately he knelt on the ground and leaned towards her with charming eyes.
Now Jiraiya is focused on serving the public and has no intention of appreciating custom girls.
Fortunately, he hadn't started fighting yet, otherwise it would have been too eye-catching to be summoned to Mt. Miaomu while naked.
Throw down some money and let the custom lady back down.
Jiraiya sat alone on the tatami, thinking about what to do next.
There were only two roads before him——
One is to sneak back to Konoha quietly, and the other is to go back openly.
Pros and cons.
After pondering for a long time, Jiraiya decided to return to Konoha in an upright manner.
According to the face described by the Great Toad Sage, the son of the prophecy is most likely Uzumaki Naruto, the son of his disciple Namikaze Minato and the third Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi.
If he were Uchiha Qianye, he would definitely strictly control Uzumaki Naruto's personal freedom!
It is too difficult to rescue Uzumaki Naruto under the surveillance of many elites.
It would be better to return to Konoha openly and figure it out slowly!
Now that he decided to return to Konoha, Jiraiya thought about it and went to find Tsunade first and persuade her to go back together.
After all, that was the village that their teacher worked so hard to protect, and we couldn't let Uchiha Qianye ruin it.
The two of them joined forces and used Tsunade's knowledge of poisons. Even when Uchiha Qianye was unprepared, there was still a chance of success!
Speaking of which, he also missed Tsunade a little.
After thinking clearly, Jiraiya no longer frowned, opened the window and left.
...
The world is not static.
When Jiraiya was summoned by the Great Toad Sage and decided to take Tsunade back to Konoha with him, the shocking news of a complete victory in the Fourth Ninja War was also spread back to Konoha.
The senior officials of the Uchiha clan who were left in Konoha by Qianye received Qianye's order and did not dare to delay. They immediately ordered people to go to the printing factory acquired by Uchiha according to the instructions.
The manager of the printing factory received the order, and all the machines in the factory were started. Workers worked enthusiastically on the front line of printing.
That's right, the reason why this news was not publicized on the radio but in newspapers was that Qianye wanted all residents of Konoha to regard "Konoha Daily" as the only official newspaper.
In the ninja world where information is underdeveloped, newspapers and periodicals are powerful tools for public opinion.
Konoha, which is only the size of a town, is Senya's base.
Compared to the entire Fire Nation, its area and population are a drop in the ocean.
But its importance exceeds that of the Fire Nation!
He wants to launch a god-making movement through Konoha Daily News!
Push yourself to the altar step by step!
When most of the residents of Konoha regard what he said as the truth and blindly obey his orders, that will be the day when he officially attacks the ninja world!
...
A group of children in old clothes gathered together in the Uchiha clan's territory, chattering and discussing. Around them, there was also a group of colorful cats wearing vests with the Uchiha clan emblem on them.
This is their partner.
"Hey, do you think this time is a little strange?"
"Today's newspapers have been delivered. Now the masthead brother has called us over. Maybe there is urgent news to be printed."
"Could it be that Hokage-sama is in danger on the front line?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him angrily.
A young man with a ferocious face, with "I'm not easy to mess with, don't come near me" written all over his face, walked up to him, grabbed his collar, and said viciously:
"Asshole, say what you just said again! See if I don't beat you!"
"Everyone has misunderstood. I didn't mean it this way. I hope that Hokage-sama can return victoriously more than anyone else." The child who had just asked the question burst into tears.
"Then what do you mean by saying this! Don't forget who you are able to eat now because of!!!"
"I haven't forgotten! It was the Godaime Hokage who gave us this job. Without him, I would still be hungry!"
The child, who was in tears, pushed away the young man who was grabbing his collar, gritted his teeth and said:
"If the content in the newspapers later is about the unfavorable news about Hokage-sama on the front line, I will tear up all the newspapers and throw them into the river!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are crazy, we will lose this job!" Some teenagers lost their voices.
"I'm not crazy. My mother didn't teach me much before she left. She just told me to be grateful."
"It's Hokage-sama who allows me to eat enough. If the contents above are not good for Hokage-sama later, I will tear them all into pieces and throw them into the river!"
"If you are willing to do it, come with me. If you are afraid, I don't blame you. If you ask questions afterwards, you will blame it on me!"
"If anyone informs you in advance, I will, I will kill him!"
"Tmd, add me!" The tall young man with a fierce face stood beside him without hesitation.
Someone took the lead, and the rest followed suit.
However, only about one-third of the people responded.
The remaining children couldn't really take that step due to their own reasons.
This job is really important to them.
They can't lose this job.
"You go ahead and do it, we won't tell the masthead."
They didn't step out, but they didn't choose to report.
Those who stood up did not blame those who did not stand up.
Each has its own difficulties.
Suffering makes them more mature than their peers.
Most of these children are war orphans, some from the outside world and some from Konoha locals.
The rest are also from poor families, struggling to make ends meet.
Before Qianye came to power, their life was not easy.
Konoha is rich when it comes to wealth, but that is only for a few people.
I have to mention something here.
The Sarutobi regime and incorruptibility are thousands of miles apart.
It is a fact that the Sarutobi clan embezzled Konoha's resource interests and enriched themselves and the public.
Otherwise, they would not be able to cultivate so many family ninjas in the ninja world, which is still primitive farming and has backward productivity.
What works is effective.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 'strongest Hokage in history', leading the charge, how could the ninjas in the administrative system not reach out and make a profit.
In such a big environment, if you don't make money, you will become an anomaly.
Only when you catch it can you become the "one's own" for three generations.
Even though in the beginning, deep down in their hearts, everyone wanted to do practical things and do good things for Konoha, under the constant erosion of money and power, their original intentions have long been forgotten.
Therefore, Konoha is wealthy, but it has nothing to do with marginalized groups in society such as war orphans.
Being destitute does not only occur in previous lives.
Looking at the original work, those gray-haired old people still have to work in the fields under the scorching sun.
Is it because they love farming and feel that they cannot lie at home and rest all day long when they are old?
No, it's because they have to work in the fields.
Otherwise, you will starve to death!
This expropriation is not just for these marginalized groups in society.
The director of the Orphan Welfare Home established in Konoha at the time was Yakushi Nonou, also known as the "Wandering Miko", an intelligence ninja who was famous in the ninja world.
She selflessly took in homeless war orphans.
The Sarutobi regime took advantage of Nonou's goodwill and cut off the funds of the orphanage, and in turn blackmailed her into risking her life to explore information for Konoha.
The children in the orphanage were also taken away by the roots or Anbu and trained to become dead soldiers.
The dark part is slightly better, and the roots are the cruelest.
If you fail the assessment, there will be no use value.
What has no use value is waste, and waste should not exist in this world.
Kabuto, Sai, Sai's brother...
This only appears in the original work, what about the ones that don’t appear?
After Qianye's coup was successful, the four major ninja villages responded quickly and did not leave him much time to develop.
Qianye can only choose to implement some policies with the least rebound within a limited time.
The group of war orphans is one of the direct beneficiaries.
Printed newspapers can be delivered by arranging cats from the Ninja Clan.
Qianye did not do this.
He chose to recruit war orphans and let these young children go with Ninja Cat to deliver newspapers.
With the Ninja Cat helping out, this job is relatively easy.
The money they earn can also protect their minimum survival needs - food.
Qianye once quoted this sentence in "Konoha Daily" -
Don't look at a person by what he says, but look at what he does.
Qianye's actions are seen in people's eyes and remembered in their hearts.
Some people who couldn't stand Qianye secretly slandered Qianye, saying that Qianye was trying to win people's hearts, crocodile tears.
But these desperate children don't care.
Their families don't care about this either.
All they knew was that it was Uchiha Qianye, the new Hokage, who gave them a job!
So that they don't have to have a full meal or a hungry meal.
They are grateful to Uchiha Qianye!
At least, compared to the kind-faced Sandaime, Uchiha Qianye did better.
Tear up the newspaper and throw it into the river.
This was the most useful way they could think of to repay Qianye.
'A bunch of stupid brats. The newspaper was founded by Hokage-sama. If it was really Hokage-sama who was in danger on the front line, how could the newspaper publish it?'
The Uchiha ninja who was hiding in the dark and responsible for protecting them felt a little funny.
But for some reason, when he looked at the serious expressions on those children's faces, his heart was touched.
'Actually...this feeling is pretty good.'
'Hmph, I, the majestic ninja of the Uchiha clan, do not need the thanks of weaklings at all!'
With this thought in mind, he walked out.
"Don't worry, it's good news. Hokage-sama has won on the front line!"
This news was like a spiritual bomb that exploded in the children's minds.
"Victory?"
"Hey, did I hear wrongly? Hit me twice."
"Hahaha, I heard you right, Ninja-sama said that Hokage-sama has won."
"Great, Hokage-sama is invincible!"
"The strongest in the ninja world!"
Looking at these startled children, the Uchiha ninja's mood was as bright as the sun in the sky.
"Yes, you are right, Hokage-sama is the strongest ninja in the ninja world!"
"The third Tsuchikage became the Hokage's prisoner, and the fourth Raikage had to sign a compensation treaty with Konoha."
"Is it like the Treaty of Misa?"
Even a group of children know the "Treaty of Musa", poor Luosha...
"Hahaha, yes, it's like the Treaty of Misa!"
"Remember, after the newspapers come out, everyone delivers them as quickly as possible."
"Leave it to us. Everyone in Konoha will be shocked by the Hokage's invincible deeds today!"
During the conversation, the Uchiha Clan's masthead brought freshly printed newspapers and distributed them to a group of newsboys.
The masthead is an unsmiling middle-aged man.
He is very strict and no one dares to cheat.
They are also very fair and will never deduct the wages of newsboys.
If any newsboy has an accident at home, he will lend a helping hand to the best of his ability.
It is when money is involved that this stern masthead will show an expression of great pain.
Therefore, these newsboys love and fear him at the same time.
"Kids, everyone can get a newspaper today, and I've already paid you the money."
The newsboys looked at the masthead in disbelief. It was like the sun was rising from the west.
The masthead who values money as his life actually buys newspapers for them.
The masthead knew what the newsboys were thinking. He raised his head and looked at the children with his nostrils, and his voice came out from his nose:
"I'm in a good mood today. Hokage-sama has won a victory on the front line. Collect the newspapers and hurry up and deliver them to me!"
The children looked at the thick black fonts on the newspaper. They didn't know a few characters, but they could recognize Qianye's name and professional title at a glance.
The title is impressively——
"The Fifth Hokage-sama is victorious! Konoha is victorious!"
