Chapter 207 Jiraiyas invitation, Tsunades rejection and curiosity!
Chapter 207: Jiraiya’s invitation, Tsunade’s rejection and curiosity!
Tsuna paused with his hand, and an inexplicable color flashed in his bright brown pupils.
She picked up the box full of coins with one hand, turned and looked back: "Jiraiya, long time no see."
Jiraiya said loudly: "I just won money, do you want to have a drink to celebrate?"
Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you treating me?"
"You just won so much, are you embarrassed to let me, an old friend, treat you?" Jiraiya looked helpless.
"That's right," Tsunade handed the cash box to Shizune beside her and said, "Shizune, take Dodo back first, I'll be back in a moment."
"Okay, Tsunade-sama." Shizune took the box, with a hint of unnoticeable worry in her brows.
'Jiraiya-sama comes to see Tsunade-sama at this time, I'm afraid...'
After the sudden change in Konoha, Shizune, who showed off her intelligence, discovered that Tsunade had been paying attention to the current situation in Konoha.
At the same time, she also knew what happened during this period.
Now that Jiraiya suddenly appears, it is most likely related to the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha.
Shizune could only recall the report about Qianye in the newspaper, and her breath couldn't help but suffocate.
Uchiha Senya has exceeded the limits of ordinary people's cognition.
If Tsunade-sama gets involved, she will escape death.
The worried Shizune decided to wait until Tsunade came back, even if she risked being disliked by Tsunade, she would advise Tsunade-sama not to take this trip into troubled waters!
...
In a roadside pub.
Tsunade and Jiraiya were sitting along the street.
"Jiraiya, there is no one else here. If you have anything to do, just tell me." Tsunade picked up the wine glass and drank the clear wine in one gulp.
"Tsunade, you are still the same." Jiraiya smiled bitterly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Tsunade put down her wine glass and stared hard.
"Do you know about the old man's death?"
Tsunade said calmly: "I know, the brats of the Uchiha clan killed him."
Listening to Tsunade's calm tone, Jiraiya was a little angry.
"Tsunade, no matter what, the old man is also your teacher!"
Tsunade raised her head and looked at Jiraiya, with a half-smile expression on her peach-like cheeks, and asked in a mocking and sarcastic tone: "So?"
"Tsunade!" Jiraiya's voice rose to a higher pitch, the smile on his face was not there, but he was powerful without being angry.
The boss who was preparing to eat in the store suddenly felt difficulty breathing, his heart began to beat uneasily, and cold sweat suddenly broke out, soaking his clothes.
This feeling is like being stared at by a ferocious beast hiding in the darkness that preys on people.
Maybe in the next second, his body will be somewhere else!
"Jiraiya," Tsunade looked as usual, unaffected: "From the day I left Konoha, everything in Konoha has nothing to do with me."
"So," Tsunade's plump red lips parted slightly, and her eyes were cold: "I don't care at all whether the old man is dead or alive."
Jiraiya's voice was dull: "Tsunade, don't forget who taught you to practice."
Tsunade responded tit for tat: "I have not forgotten. Likewise, I will not forget who caused the disappearance of my Senju clan."
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Uchiha Qianye."
Tsunade originally just had suspicions, but there was no conclusive evidence.
Qianye is a warm-hearted person with a noble character who enjoys helping others.
then......
After the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the ninjas of the Shimura clan were killed, their bodies were also sent to the analysis class, where special instruments were used to decipher the information in their brains.
Therefore, the evidence Qianye presented in the library is all solid.
He originally thought about compiling some of it, but when he saw it, he didn't need to smear the good guy. The truthful release was enough to crucify Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"That's all Uchiha Qianye's slander! Teacher, there's no way he would do such a thing."
"Okay, Jiraiya, the evidence is on display in Konoha's library, and everyone can go and check it."
"That's all because the teacher was deceived by the people below. There is absolutely no way he would do such a thing!
Moreover, how can you be sure that those so-called evidences were not fabricated by Uchiha Qianye?"
Tsunade had no intention of arguing with Jiraiya and said directly:
"Okay, Jiraiya, just tell yourself this kind of self-deception. There is no need to tell it to me again."
"If you come to drink with me as an old friend, I would welcome you most."
"If you want me to return to Konoha with you to avenge your teacher, then there is nothing to say between us."
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade in disbelief.
He didn't understand why Tsunade became like this.
She is far away from the Tsunade in her memory.
"Tsunade, life is short, don't make choices that you will regret."
"Is the sermon over?"
Jiraiya was choked and speechless.
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, stood up and left without hesitation, her voice floated from the wind:
"Jiraiya, as a friend for many years, I would like to advise you not to let prejudice blind you."
"Finally, don't do anything stupid!"
"Prejudice? Stupid thing?" Jiraiya looked down at himself reflected in the wine glass with a cold expression.
No matter how others evaluate his teacher, he only knows one thing -
His teacher is very nice to him!
Life is short, there are things to do and things not to do!
His trip was not only for himself, but also...
For the ninja world!
Jiraiya drank all the wine in the cup, took out two banknotes, pressed them with a wine bottle, and immediately stood up and left.
The direction is completely different from Tsunade's.
The moonlight stretched his figure very long, and finally merged with the surrounding darkness.
...
When Tsunade returned to the hotel, Shizune heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the door. She quickly opened the door and glanced around, but did not see Jiraiya.
He asked tentatively: "Tsunade-sama, why are you back so soon, where is Jiraiya-sama?"
Tsunade looked at the gentle and quiet girl in front of her, the lines on her face softened a bit, and said:
"He left and I declined his invitation."
This development greatly exceeded Shizune's expectations. She wanted to say something more, but Tsunade waved her hand with a smile:
"I'm tired. Let's go to bed early today. Let's go shopping tomorrow!"
Shizune knew that Tsunade didn't want to talk too much, and for her, getting this answer was enough.
She doesn't have deep feelings for Konoha.
Konoha is not her home, just a familiar place.
Wherever Tsunade is, there is her home.
Shizune cooperated and changed the topic, saying:
"Tsunade-sama, can you go shopping on East Street tomorrow? The clothes there are very beautiful."
"no problem."
Tsunade's back was to Shizune, her voice was light, but her eyes looking at the bright moon outside the window seemed very heavy.
'Jiraiya, I'm sorry, Uchiha Chiya is not my enemy.'
After she learned that her teacher died at the hands of Uchiha Qianye, she also had the idea of revenge for her master.
However, the content published in the "Konoha Daily News" completely dispelled her idea.
In particular, after she secretly returned to Konoha and went to the library to check and verify, she no longer had the slightest fondness for Sarutobi Hiruzen, her former teacher.
teacher?
disciple?
Haha, it's just a political deal where everyone gets what they need.
It should be explained here that Sarutobi Hiruzen only accepted his disciple a few years after he became Hokage.
Choosing Tsunade was to reveal his attitude and stance to the Senju clan.
Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen would use this quota on civilian ninjas!
The talented Orochimaru and the mediocre and stupid Jiraiya fit his political needs very well.
It would be even more perfect if we add a commoner girl.
The reason for this is also very simple.
It's not because Hiruzen Sarutobi likes to be a teacher and likes to recruit disciples and teach others.
Otherwise, after so many years in office, he would not have only accepted Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
This is only done because it can make his position more stable.
It should be noted that both the first generation and the second generation of Konoha are from the Senju clan.
Under such circumstances, is it possible that all the Senju clan are saints and they really have no idea about this position?
impossible!
Let’s think about the identity and background of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The Sarutobi clan is only a middle-level ninja clan, and their background is actually not very strong.
The help the family can provide to Sarutobi Hiruzen is limited.
Then why didn't the Senju clan immediately attack Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Because the Ninja World War was not over at that time, before their second generation Hokage died generously, Sarutobi Hiruzen was appointed as the third generation.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others returned to the village, everyone in Konoha knew this news.
The Thousand Hands clan still wanted to lose face, so due to the situation, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it.
But this does not mean that they will give up and hand over the power that 'belongs' to the Thousand Hands Clan to an outsider!
As the founder of Konoha, if the Senju clan reached a private agreement with other ninja clans, it would be very difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, to remain secure.
The Sarutobi clan is just a medium-sized ninja clan. Not to mention compared to the Senju and Uchiha, even the Hyuga clan, which is the most distant among the three families, needs to look up.
Interestingly, the civil strife of the Uchiha clan also occurred during this period.
After a civil strife, Uchiha's vitality was severely damaged, and he became content and only cared about the one-third of an acre of land in front of him.
The Thousand Hands clan is still ready to make a move.
Because there is a precedent like Cloud Hidden Village.
Their Raikage is passed down from father to son, brother to brother.
Power has always been firmly in the hands of the Yeyue clan.
Of course, the Senju clan wants to imitate the Yeyue clan and firmly hold the power of Konoha in their own hands.
Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not sit still and wait for death. For the sake of his own ass, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to accept a disciple.
Yes, take on a disciple.
Even though there was a lot of dirty information about Hiruzen Sarutobi, Qianye had to admit that Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods were truly amazing.
He did not choose a ninja with a distinguished family background, but chose two war orphans with blank backgrounds.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya, two war orphans with no background, rose to the top and became his close disciples.
This allowed Hiruzen Sarutobi to gain loyal support from the common people, and everyone began to believe in the "will of fire" that Hiruzen Sarutobi kept mentioning.
Ever since, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened another track and achieved great success, laying a solid foundation for himself.
With repeated propaganda and brainwashing, not only civilians, but also many ninjas of the ninja clan firmly believed in his theory.
Here I have to name Sakumo Hatake who died in vain...
He just believed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's "Will of Fire", but was stabbed in the back by the village, and his faith was completely shattered.
Unable to accept this fact, he chose to commit suicide.
Closer to home, apart from Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Tsunade's disciple is the product of political compromise between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Senju clan.
The Senju clan obviously couldn't easily handle Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had laid a certain foundation for his rule.
If you go head-on, you will only lose more than you gain.
Compromise is the essence of politics.
What are the benefits of accepting Tsunade as a disciple?
Sarutobi Hiruzen has two most important identities.
The disciple of the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage.
At that time, Konoha did not regulate the inheritance of shadows.
If the first generation dies, the second generation ascends, and the younger brother eventually succeeds, it will obviously be extremely detrimental to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In order to strengthen his own orthodoxy, Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly promoted that the Second Hokage would pass on his position to his disciples. This is the continuation of the Will of Fire.
Everyone is satisfied with this compromise, including the Thousand Hands clan.
Because, Tsunade is the direct disciple of the third generation!
And the method of master-disciple transmission also gives other ninjas from the ninja clan a chance to become Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's position was thus firmly established.
But this is how he formed a relationship with Liang Zi of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's desire for control is actually very strong.
This can be seen from the fact that he developed the technique of telescope.
No one really thinks that Hiruzen Sarutobi developed this ninjutsu to spy on women's bathhouses.
That's incidental at most.
The main thing is to monitor Konoha.
This ninjutsu only requires mastering the chakra characteristics of the target, and then it can achieve the purpose of remote monitoring through the crystal ball.
Hiruzen Sarutobi specially developed this ninjutsu and put the crystal ball under his nose. Needless to say, his real purpose was.
Everyone knows what happened next.
The Thousand Hands Clan disappeared without a trace without causing any waves.
If Qianye hadn't traveled through time, the entire Uchiha clan would have sacrificed to heaven.
In the entire ninja world, there are only three Uchihas left alive.
It needs to be emphasized again here.
The root is just a sub-department of ANBU, and Danzo, the pot shadow, has no financial power!
Can Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is extremely controlling, really tolerate Danzo starting a new business under his nose?
Did he, who developed the telescope technique, really know nothing about Danzo's movements?
On these issues, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
Tsunade is no longer the innocent girl.
She knew this from the evidence presented in the library. Under such circumstances, how could she agree to Jiraiya's invitation?
In particular, Uchiha Chiya, the Fifth Hokage, did a really good job!
How great it would be if Uchiha Chiya were their contemporaries.
Maybe, not so many ninjas will die in vain.
'Uchiha Senye, Uchiha Senye...'
Tsunade lay on the bed, silently chanting this name in her heart, and fell into a deep sleep with curiosity about Qianye.
