Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 144 F3 is very satisfied
The Hokage has changed, but the Hokage's secretary hasn't been changed yet.

The Hokage's secretary is a member of the Sarutobi clan.

Evening, Sarutobi tribe territory.

After stepping down, Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer the Hokage, but he was still the Hokage's assistant and the head of the Sarutobi clan.

Sitting cross-legged under the veranda in the courtyard, Hiruzen puffed on his cigarette.

At that moment, the Hokage's secretary walked over: "Clan leader."

"Jiraiya... how are you adapting?" Hiruzen asked, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"He complained that he couldn't gather information from various sources anymore. By the way, the Fifth Hokage spent quite a while reading through the Book of Seals."

Hiruzen's expression remained calm.

Jiraiya liked to gather material, which he knew. Now that Jiraiya had become the Fifth Hokage, it was normal for him to complain about not having time to gather material for the sake of the village.

As for reading the Book of Seals, I guess it's just to pass the time!

Even if Jiraiya never became Hokage, how difficult would it be for him to see the Scroll of Seals?

As for the forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Seals, Jiraiya can practice them if he wants. He is aware of the risks of various forbidden techniques and will not act recklessly.

When Jiraiya took Minato as his student, where did Minato learn the Flying Thunder God Technique from? It was taught to him by Jiraiya.

Minato had the talent to master the Flying Thunder God Technique. He not only learned it but also innovated upon it, making the Flying Thunder God Technique shine brightly in the ninja world. But did Jiraiya learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Having the method to cultivate a technique doesn't guarantee you'll learn it; talent also plays a role.

As for techniques that are highly dangerous to the caster, given Jiraiya's prudent nature, he wouldn't use them carelessly even if he learned them.

That's right. Others might think Jiraiya is frivolous and irreverent, but the Third Hokage knew that Jiraiya was actually quite steady and reliable.

Of Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples, Orochimaru was a rogue ninja and could not be relied upon.

Tsunade has quite a few problems.

In comparison, Jiraiya is still the one who gives him the least trouble!
"By the way, the Fifth Hokage said he's newly appointed Hokage and needs time to adjust, so he hopes things will continue as usual for now. As for work-related matters, I'll leave it to you, Clan Head, as well as Advisor Mitomon and Advisor Tōsei," the Hokage's secretary added.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen was also taken aback.

Jiraiya is delegating authority!

Everything as usual?
Therefore, although Hiruzen Sarutobi lost the title of Hokage, he still held the real power of Hokage.

As for Yan and Xiaochun, they remain unchanged.

From this perspective, Jiraiya became nothing more than a figurehead.

"I guess Jiraiya isn't used to being Hokage and wants to take a break for a while. It's really hard to get him to adapt all at once. Oh well, I, the old man, can still help share some of the burden," Hiruzen muttered to himself.

He was even more satisfied with Jiraiya now.

It was indeed a wise decision to appoint Jiraiya as the Fifth Hokage.

At this time, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu came to visit Hiruzen.

Hiruzen also got up and went inside.

Inside the room, F3 knelt down and began to talk.

During the conversation, Hiruzen brought up Jiraiya's attitude.

"Jiraiya has just become Hokage and needs time to adjust. He doesn't want to disrupt his work, so I hope everything will continue as before. Your work will remain the same, and so will mine."

"Give Jiraiya some time to adjust!" Hiruzen said, a smile almost appearing on his lips, but he quickly picked up his pipe and pretended to smoke to cover it up.

Upon hearing Hiruzen's words, Yan and Koharu couldn't help but smile.

“Jiraiya is steady and reliable. We old guys should help him out more. The Hokage has a heavy responsibility. Since he’s not used to it yet, it’s no big deal for us to help share the burden,” Yan said with a smile.

"Everyone is working for the village to get better and better." Xiaochun's smile was similar to Yan's.

It's fair to say that F3 was quite satisfied.

“However, we can help Jiraiya with his work, but we also need to talk to him so he understands,” Hiruzen said earnestly, putting down his pipe.

They did all the work but didn't even tell the Hokage. How can that be right? It just doesn't make sense!

"Of course," Yan and Xiaochun both agreed.

This outcome couldn't be better.

After talking for a while longer, we had almost finished discussing the important matters.

Regarding Danzo, the three members of F3 tacitly avoided discussing it.

There's no need to talk about it anymore.

Danzo sent someone to poison the daimyo, but the plot was exposed and he defected. That's the situation.

Danzo has already been convicted.

They also sent ANBU ninjas to hunt down Danzo.

If all goes well, Danzo's body should be brought back to the village soon.

Once Danzo's body is brought back, Jiraiya will take it to the capital to meet the daimyo.

Hiruzen's relationship with the daimyo was strained.

As for Jiraiya, it's still possible for him to improve his relationship with the Daimyo.

If the Fifth Hokage were Tsunade, there would be even less to worry about regarding the relationship between the village and the daimyo.

After all, Tsunade and the Daimyo had a pretty good relationship.

But since Jiraiya was chosen as the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade will not be mentioned.

Moreover, Tsunade also disliked becoming Hokage.

In the words of the Third Hokage, Tsunade was not as composed as Jiraiya.

Most importantly, Jiraiya possessed a strong will of fire.

Of the three legendary Sannin, Tsunade is a medical ninja and is not particularly skilled in combat.

Jiraiya was already quite strong, and he also had Sage Mode.

……

After finishing the Book of Seals, Awei looked at other techniques.

Konoha has collected too many ninjutsu. These are the ones that are not listed as forbidden techniques. When a ninja in the village makes a contribution, the Hokage can reward him with a ninjutsu.

As for using forbidden techniques as rewards, that is inappropriate.

Of course, these included techniques are not all the techniques of Konoha.

All the ninja clans, large and small, in the village possess techniques that the village has not yet registered.

But in terms of the techniques included, there are probably several thousand!

It includes ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, puppetry, sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu, and more.

Most of them are of the lightning, fire, water, earth, and wind attributes. As for yin and yang attributes, there are very few, and some are even without attributes.

Although there are many techniques, if you learn something like Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, then there's no need to learn many other techniques.

Therefore, there are many techniques, but in fact, there is no need to learn most of them.

Some techniques are simplified versions that don't require high levels of chakra control and consume less chakra, but their power cannot be expected to be too high.

Since these techniques are not listed as forbidden, it means that there is little risk in practicing them.

Most of them are D-rank ninjutsu, C-rank ninjutsu is much less common, B-rank ninjutsu is even less common, and A-rank ninjutsu is extremely rare.

In fact, Jonin mostly use B-rank ninjutsu in battles.

It's not surprising that even Kage-level and Super Kage-level ninjas fight using B-rank ninjutsu.

How many A-rank ninjutsu are there?

How many S-rank ninjutsu are there?
The Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode is only B-rank, but when the Fourth Raikage uses it, he can rival Minato.

In terms of level, Flying Thunder God Technique is certainly superior to Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Moreover, Minato has taken the Flying Thunder God Technique to an extreme.

However, the truth is that Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique did not have a significant advantage over the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

In reality, most of the Raikage's attack methods are only B-rank ninjutsu.

However, if you think you can easily defeat someone using B-rank ninjutsu while you use A-rank ninjutsu and your chakra levels are similar, you're making a big mistake and might end up getting completely crushed.

The power of a spell depends on its level, but more importantly on the caster.

The same technique, when used by different people, can have vastly different effects.

Leaving aside other ninja villages, let's just talk about Konoha.

A ninja who completes an A-rank mission is unlikely to receive a B-rank ninjutsu, aside from the reward. And this is Konoha; other ninja villages are not as good as Konoha!

Generally speaking, the Hokage might reward a B-rank ninjutsu only after completing several A-rank ninja village quests. Of course, having a good teacher is a different story.

Just like Minato Namikaze, if he hadn't been Jiraiya's disciple, would Minato have been able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Jiraiya taught Minato more than just the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Therefore, if he hadn't been Jiraiya's disciple, Minato, a commoner ninja, might have been cannon fodder on the battlefield.

There are many geniuses among ordinary ninjas, but how many of them actually grow up to be successful?

Not to mention the possibility of an ordinary ninja becoming Hokage.

Therefore, Watergate is a legend.

Born into poverty, yet his life has been extraordinary.

Of the three legendary Sannin, Jiraiya was the only one who liked to take on disciples.

Orochimaru was just a tool for others.

As for Tsunade, she wasn't very interested in taking on disciples.

Shizune is the niece of Tsunade's lover. She has followed Tsunade for many years but hasn't learned much.

Ah Wei carefully studied each of the forbidden techniques and memorized the cultivation methods.

As for the thousands of techniques that are not forbidden, they are selective.

The Hokage's job includes assigning missions to the village's ninjas and rewarding those who complete the missions. These rewards, in addition to the pay, are usually ninjutsu.

However, F3 is responsible for both task assignment and rewards.

Ah Wei was, after all, just impersonating Jiraiya.

Therefore, he didn't care about the real power of the Hokage at all.

Once the goal is achieved, you can leave at any time.

……

Dawn breaks.

Early in the morning, ninjas from the village came to the Hokage Building to receive missions.

Fugaku also came to the Hokage Building.

We'll have to discuss the next steps with the Hokage.

There were quite a few people in the Hokage's office, including the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, the Hokage's secretary, the Hokage's assistant Hiruzen Sarutobi, and some ninjas.

One of the members of the Hyuga clan's branch family was also present.

When Fugaku arrived, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Fifth Hokage, regarding the work of the police department, I..." Fugaku was interrupted by Jiraiya before he could finish speaking.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, for the sake of the village's stability, I'll learn the ropes of being Hokage before I get used to it. For now, things will remain the same as before," Jiraiya said with a smile after interrupting Fugaku.

However, Jiraiya and Hiruzen could smile, but Fugaku could not.

What are you doing?

Even Minato, as Hokage, had some power.

Because Minato was friendly to the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan lived a comfortable life while Minato was Hokage.

Unfortunately, Minato died young.

I thought Jiraiya would be tougher than Minato when he became Hokage, but I didn't expect him to completely delegate power. Isn't that too soft?
Of course, Jiraiya has just become Hokage and taking over some power, which may disrupt the stability of the village. But even if problems arise, how serious can they be? With Jiraiya's abilities, he'll adapt quickly!

Everything should never remain the same!

So, was the Fifth Hokage a completely pointless position?
However, Jiraiya is now the Hokage, and he is willing to keep things as they are. F3 is very satisfied, and Fugaku can only feel helpless.

What could Fugaku do?
I thought that Jiraiya becoming Hokage would improve the Uchiha's situation, but it seems I was overthinking it.

"Adapt? We'll see how long it takes Jiraiya to adapt." Fugaku thought to himself with a wry smile.

"Fugaku! The village's security is the responsibility of the police department. As the police chief, you bear a heavy responsibility and cannot slack off!" Jiraiya said to Fugaku.

Fugaku immediately stated that the police department would work diligently.

Ah Wei also felt some sympathy for the Uchiha.

The police department deals with village security issues, but it offends many people.

In addition, the Uchiha clan is known for its proud and arrogant nature.

Therefore, there are quite a few complaints from villagers about the police department.

The gap between the Uchiha clan and the village widened.

The Uchiha clan is no longer seen among the higher-ups.

The Uchiha clan members with the Mangekyou Sharingan mostly hope that the clan can improve and integrate into the village, but their methods are...

If you use the wrong method, the harder you try, the further you may get from your goal.

Although he felt some sympathy for the Uchiha, Awei had no time to help them.

……

Mt. Miaomu.

Jiraiya finished his training.

Although he tried hard to cultivate himself, he gained nothing.

So, he became too lazy to cultivate.

After saying goodbye to the hermits Fukasaku and Shima, Jiraiya left Mt. Myoboku.

As for what to do next, Jiraiya plans to go to the Land of Rain to find Itachi first.

He tried to persuade Itachi to help him rescue Naruto.

Naruto is too important to Konoha; we must rescue him and send him back to Konoha.

I'm not sure if Itachi will help, but I'll give it a try.

Perhaps Itachi is already a full member of Akatsuki.

If Itachi were already a full member of Akatsuki and were willing to help, the chances of rescuing Naruto would be much greater.

……

“Three more to go!”

Itachi has already killed seven Jonin of the Sarutobi clan. If he kills three more, he will have completed the mission Pain gave him to become a full member of the Akatsuki.

The sacrifice of 10 Jonin Sarutobi to make him a full member of Akatsuki was all for the sake of Konoha.

The sacrifice of 10 Konoha Jonin was worthwhile.

Once he becomes a full member of Akatsuki, he will be able to gather more important information for Konoha.

To be honest, he didn't expect that all six Paths of Pain were corpses, and that Nagato Uzumaki was the one controlling them from behind the scenes.

The Uzumaki clan, with their Rinnegan, were already incredibly powerful, controlling the Six Paths of Pain. So, how strong was Nagato?
Nagato decided not to hide behind the scenes anymore, since he had already been exposed, so he simply showed himself.

When Itachi saw the skinny guy sitting in the wheelchair with black rods of varying lengths stuck in his back, he was a little confused.

He looks like a sickly person no matter how you look at him!

But Itachi also felt very suppressed when facing Nagato.

And Akatsuki now has another reason to keep Naruto around.

Nagato Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki both share the surname Uzumaki and have the blood of the Uzumaki clan flowing through their veins.

Therefore, Nagato and Naruto are of the same clan.

Does Konoha have any members of Naruto's clan?
If Amegakure exists, then why can't Naruto stay in Amegakure?
As for the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, it will be returned to Konoha in the future.

Of course, Konoha was dissatisfied and even threatened to declare war, but Nagato was also very tough.

Konoha, however, did not declare war on Akatsuki.

However, the relationship between Konoha and Amegakure is very poor.

Akatsuki also gathers information about Konoha.

With the Fifth Hokage now in Konoha, this information could not be kept from Akatsuki.

Even though he was still an intern, Itachi had heard about it.

Jiraiya became the Fifth Hokage?!
