Kushina looked at Jiraiya for a long time, unable to connect him and Tsunade Orochimaru at all.
Tsunade and Orochimaru have become very famous in the past two years. One is a very famous hero who is stationed in various battlefields in Konoha. The other is the famous Konoha Medical Minister. The Medical Ninja Department has saved lives and injured people in these years, and has provided services to Konoha.
Ye has retained countless vitality.
"This white hair, just make up the numbers!"
Kushina's muttering did not escape the ears of several people. Jiraiya's smile that he just showed froze. He didn't expect that he was despised by his juniors and was actually said to be just making up for it.
"Jiraiya-sama, please don't worry, Kushina's temper is indeed a bit... let's go in first!"
Namikaze Minato apologized to Jiraiya. Fortunately, this tease was not a bad-tempered person, so he smiled and passed away, and then the three of them entered the Hokage Tower.
"Ha~~this~~this~~~"
After Jiraiya entered the Hokage Building, he felt the difference more intuitively. The spacious hall, the uniforms, and the people coming and going in the Hokage Building were completely different from what he remembered.
"Hey! This is... Danzo??"
Jiraiya followed Minato as he walked down the aisle, his hands behind his head, his eyes constantly looking left and right, and from time to time he peeked at the ladies making clothes. At this moment, a figure that seemed familiar to him came towards him.
"Lord Danzo!"
Minato and Kushina stopped and bowed to Danzo who came out with his roots.
Danzo realized that Gu Sheng was difficult to deal with after Gu Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to reduce his power two years ago. In order to prevent Gu Sheng from getting caught, he became more attentive to patrol work and spent some time every day to lead people in wood.
The leaves are turning everywhere.
"Minato and Kushina!"
Danzo nodded to Namikaze Minato. He was naturally impressed by these two students who were highly valued by Kosei. Needless to say, Kushina, the jinchūriki candidate, had always been the object of his attention.
Namikaze Minato's performance in the training camp was even more eye-catching. A civilian ninja defeated the geniuses of all races and firmly controlled the first place in overall performance. He was also very concerned about it. He tried to pull him into the root several times but because of Gu Sheng
The reason why it failed to succeed.
"Jiraiya, you're back!"
Danzo's eyes fell on Jiraiya, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Naturally, he was no stranger to Jiraiya.
The late bloomer among the three disciples of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he unexpectedly gained the favor of Mount Myoboku, one of the three legendary spiritual holy places, because of his sealing psychic skills. He was as powerful as Orochimaru and Tsunade.
"Ahahaha~~~"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Jiraiya smiled awkwardly and said, "Long time no see, Danzo-sama!"
"It's been a long time indeed..."
Danzo nodded to him, said a few more words to him, and then left. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, and there was no point in continuing to talk.
"Hoo~~"
As soon as Danzo left, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he always felt very stressed about Danzo, and he didn't like getting along with such a scheming person like him.
"The root under Danzo-sama is now responsible for the security of the village, so he will take some time to patrol in person every day."
Minato turned around and explained, and then continued to lead the way.
"The roots are responsible for the security of the village?"
Jiraiya wondered: "Wasn't the Anbu responsible for this before? Although the root is also an Anbu, but..."
Strictly speaking, the roots under Danzo also belong to the ANBU and are considered a branch of the ANBU. Unfortunately, their allegiance is to Danzo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot command them at all.
When the root was first formed, no one knew whether Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo had any private dealings, but now, the growing root has indeed become a very troublesome problem.
"The Anbu and the original security team directly under the Hokage, who are responsible for the security of the village, have all been deployed because of the intensification of the war in the Kingdom of Wind."
Minato did not look back, and explained as he walked: "A perfect jinchuriki appeared on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind. Although we severely damaged the main force of the Kingdom of Wind in the war two years ago, because of the existence of the perfect jinchuriki, we did not
You can't take down Sunagakure Village in one go.
Therefore, Hokage-sama should change his combat strategy. In these years, he has been fighting a protracted war with Sunagakure Village, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties. If the ANBU and security teams are not deployed, then students who have just graduated from the ninja school will be sent to the battlefield.
Two years ago, a group of twelve-year-old graduates went to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind. They suffered heavy casualties. If this model is adopted again, it will not be good for the future of Konoha. We have no choice but to let the ANBU and the security team go there, and the roots will be responsible.
The security of the village.
Fortunately, the new batch of graduates from the ninja school have grown up in the past two years, and the pressure in the village has been reduced a lot. You should have seen it when you entered the village, many young ninjas are maintaining order."
"That's it! It's a good approach. If we follow the original approach, it will indeed have an impact on the future of Konoha."
Jiraiya nodded, he was certainly not an idiot.
Whether they are at war with the Country of Rain, the Country of Wind, or invasion or defense, the five major countries are actually fighting for their own interests and resources, and Konoha, the Country of Fire, is no exception.
Over a thousand ninjas participated in the war and suffered heavy casualties during the war.
The result of too much damage on the front line is terrible, of course. This has caused Konoha to be extremely weak internally, like a giant beast that has lost its sharp teeth and is only left with a big mouth to hold on.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the top management of Konoha wanted to fill the hole of insufficient defense as soon as possible. In the absence of a good solution, they had to lower the limit for ninja school graduation. As a result, during the Ninja World War, countless young children were deceived.
, embarking on a road of no return with the ninja dream in mind.
However, most of these young children have no qualified combat experience at all, and the battlefield will not give them a chance to adapt. Once they go to the battlefield, they are more likely to die than ninjas who have graduated for many years and have mission experience, and the battle damage ratio is frighteningly high.
, causing a larger hole.
Under such circumstances, for the sake of profit, the village's top management could only sacrifice more children and lower the graduation years and requirements again, creating an extremely vicious cycle that continuously consumes Konoha's own potential. This is an extremely real problem.
Two years ago, the top management of Konoha sent twelve-year-old graduates to the battlefield. The damage was very serious, but with the intervention of the reincarnations, Gu Sheng and his group finally gained a firm foothold.
However, if no changes are made, Konoha will still fall into a deadlock of talent decline. The data Gu Sheng provided to Danzo and the others reflected this very well, convincing the Sandaime on the front line, and making the elder advisory group feel the crisis.
Although they are very stupid, their core interests are still closely related to Konoha. As Konoha weakens, their influence will become smaller, so they relented and carried out reforms after Gu Sheng repeatedly 'relinquished power'.
Don't really think that they will be fooled by Gu Sheng's data. Without Gu Sheng's sincere offer of power and benefits in exchange for conditions, Danzo's three advisors would not be so easy to talk to.
However, success depends on Xiao He and failure depends on Xiao He. It is precisely because Gu Sheng's delegation of power that Danzo and the others have to shoulder more responsibilities while enjoying the power. This is why Gu Sheng caught the loophole and counterattacked to steal the peach, allowing Danzo to
Months of hard work were wasted.
With the implementation of a series of reform actions, Konoha's remaining Anbu and garrison troops went to the battlefield, leaving time for the rear to develop. Coupled with Konoha's increasingly perfect new medical ninja system, it greatly retained its effective strength while also training a
Batch new recruits.
Today's Konoha, after years of war, has not only not damaged its vitality, but is actually stronger than before the war began. This is all the result of reforms.
