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

Chapter 146 We must keep this quiet and just let it go!

The Third Hokage was dumbfounded after hearing what Jiraiya said.

Mitokado Yan and Utatane Koharu were also dumbfounded.

F3 was completely bewildered; his mind went blank.

What did Jiraiya say?
Is someone impersonating Jiraiya and coming to the village to become Hokage?
This……

hiss~
The third generation gasped in shock.

If what Jiraiya said is true, then there's a big problem.

The important information collected by Konoha, as well as the complete collection of forbidden techniques and thousands of techniques, have all been leaked, haven't they?

"Jiraiya, you're not kidding?" Yan asked Jiraiya with a serious expression.

The Third Hokage and Koharu both looked at Jiraiya with tense expressions.

"That's just how it is." Jiraiya shrugged helplessly.

F3 all understand Jiraiya's character.

As Jiraiya's teacher, the Third Hokage understood Jiraiya even better.

Judging from Jiraiya's expression, F3 knew he wasn't joking.

But someone impersonated Jiraiya and came to Konoha, and no one in the village noticed—that was truly…

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 'Strongest Hokage'.

Mitokado Yan, the "Konno no Satoshi".

Even Koharu Utatane, the "Flower of Konoha," looked terrible.

If this gets out, I'll lose all face.

The other ninja villages would laugh themselves to death if they knew!
Now I just hope that the person impersonating Jiraiya isn't from one of the other four major ninja villages.

"This disguise is really impressive; it managed to fool us. Could it come from one of the other four great ninja villages?" Yan wondered.

"Could it be a member of Akatsuki?" Koharu wondered.

"Let's investigate this secretly! Let's continue with Jiraiya and just go with the flow!" The Third Hokage sighed.

Yan and Xiaochun didn't say anything.

Now that things have come to this, we can only make the best of a bad situation.

If this is made public, the village will be in an uproar; the impact will be enormous.

"Old man, tell the truth, did you arrange for someone to impersonate me, then put me in the position of Hokage, and then have my imposter relinquish power?" Jiraiya stared intently at the Third Hokage.

It's normal for Jiraiya to have this doubt.

It's hard to believe that an outsider could impersonate Jiraiya and fool everyone in Konoha.

But if it was arranged by the third generation, it shouldn't be too difficult to keep it hidden for a short period of time!

The purpose of the third generation in doing this can also be explained.

The fifth generation's position remains unresolved.

The daimyo is probably somewhat dissatisfied with the third generation!
The appearance of the light screen several times has more or less tarnished the reputation of the third generation, causing his prestige to decline considerably.

For the sake of Konoha's overall interests, the Third Hokage needs to introduce a Fifth Hokage.

At the end of the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Hokage made Minato the Fourth Hokage, but the Third Hokage was forced to do so at that time.

Now, the third generation faces even more helplessness.

The Third Hokage knew Jiraiya well and knew that Jiraiya wanted Tsunade to become Hokage, but Tsunade was unwilling to return to be Hokage. Dragging it out like this was not a solution, so it was not impossible to use some tricks to force Jiraiya to become Hokage!

If they're outsiders, why give authority to F3? That doesn't make sense!

For example, if an Akatsuki member impersonated Jiraiya and became Hokage in Konoha, why not cause chaos and create internal strife in Konoha? That would be more in Akatsuki's interest!
Looking at it this way, it's very likely that everything was arranged by three generations.

In the end, Jiraiya became Hokage, but the power of the Hokage fell into other hands.

Although the Third Hokage is no longer the Hokage, in terms of authority, he remains the same as before.

Yan and Xiaochun's rights are the same as before.

"How could you think like that? How could I possibly do such a thing?" The third generation was also a little angry.

Most of them are innocent victims!
Yan and Xiaochun quickly said they believed in the Third Generation, but a hint of doubt also appeared in their eyes.

"Whoever wants to be Hokage can be, I'm not going to," Jiraiya said defiantly.

The Third Hokage could only try his best to persuade Jiraiya to become Hokage.

"Jiraiya, you don't want Konoha to fall into internal strife, do you? Once Konoha loses its composure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure are likely to launch a war against Konoha, and the hard-won peace will be broken. How many children in the village will then have to go to the battlefield?"

How many more families will be torn apart?
"I swear on the name of the Sarutobi clan, it was not I who arranged for someone to impersonate you." The Third Hokage said solemnly.

"Yes! Jiraiya, if you hadn't become Hokage, you wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret."

"We mustn't let this get out!"

"Jiraiya, you are also a Konoha ninja, you grew up in the village, can you really just stand by and watch the village descend into chaos?"

Yan and Xiaochun help the Third Generation persuade Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's expression shifted between light and dark.

If the third generation could swear an oath in the name of the Sarutobi clan, then it seems that it was indeed not his arrangement.

Then they are outsiders.

At this moment, Jiraiya also wanted to leave, but...

The village always comes first.

Everything is for Konoha.

At this moment, F3 breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiraiya is willing to be Hokage.

As for the person impersonating Jiraiya, we can only investigate him secretly and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

What an eventful time!
The several appearances of the light screen and the information it revealed had a significant impact on Konoha.

Meanwhile, the young Uchiha clan leader defected, and the advisor Danzo also defected...

In addition, important information and forbidden techniques of the village were leaked.

F3 is really in a bit of a mess.

"Now that I, the immortal, have become Hokage, I will no longer trouble you three with the work of Hokage," Jiraiya suddenly said.

When Jiraiya said those words, the expressions of the F3 all changed.

For F3, who holds considerable power, relinquishing that power is something they are reluctant to do.

That's right, F3 are all power-hungry.

“Jiraiya, it’s not that we’re reluctant to give up power, it’s just that you’ve only just become Hokage and need time to adjust. Besides, the imposter delegated power to us, and now if we give it all back to you, what will the villagers think? If they do, there will be problems.” The Third Hokage quickly came up with an excuse.

But to be fair, what the third generation said also makes sense.

As for Yan and Xiaochun, they both agreed that what the Third Generation said made sense.

Jiraiya simply felt unhappy.

"Just tell everyone it's your business." Jiraiya wasn't going to give up so easily.

F3 exchanged a glance.

“Alright!” the third generation agreed.

Yan and Xiaochun kept their faces cold and didn't say anything, but their silence at this moment meant they agreed.

Therefore, Jiraiya will handle all the work of the Hokage from now on, but it will be said to be handled by F3 in public.

If Jiraiya does well, the credit goes to F3; but if he messes up, F3 takes the blame.

But will F3 cause Jiraiya to mess things up?

……

In the village, several old men and women gathered together; these were White Zetsu lurking in Konoha.

White Zetsu is quite good at gathering intelligence, but it's more difficult for them to gather information about Jiraiya, the Third Hokage, and others.

Therefore, the conversation between F3 and Jiraiya was not overheard by the White Zetsu.

However, these White Zetsu noticed that Jiraiya was acting strangely.

All I can say is that White Zetsu's sensory abilities are truly powerful.

Although they noticed something was amiss, these White Zetsu never expected that someone would impersonate Jiraiya and come to Konoha as Hokage.

Furthermore, these White Zetsu are not intelligent enough to begin with.

……

The ancestral home of the Nara clan.

At the Shikaku family mansion, he is playing shogi with his son, Shikamaru.

Although Shikamaru is still young, his intelligence already far surpasses that of his peers.

Occasionally, Shika would talk to her son about various things, which could be considered a way of nurturing him. It's always good to learn more and think more.

But there are many important things I can't tell my son yet, such as the Nine-Tails' attack and the estrangement between the Uchiha clan and the village.

Now, he can't tell Shikamaru about the fact that the Fifth Hokage is acting strangely.

Jiraiya was still Jiraiya, but Shikaku couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, though he was certain something was off.

Jiraiya himself already knows.

F3 probably knows this too.

Although he was curious, Shikaku didn't go to ask Jiraiya or F3.

So I simply stopped thinking about it.

Although he didn't focus all his attention on the board, Shikaku still won easily.

Although Shikamaru is clever, he is still young, and his intelligence is far behind that of Shikaku.

Through playing chess, Shikaku gave Shikamaru some pointers.

Shikamaru is just lazy; he'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand.

Shikaku felt rather helpless about his son's personality.

"Dad, spending time at the Ninja Academy is a waste of time." This wasn't the first time Shikamaru had complained like this.

For children of ninja clans, going to ninja academy is indeed a waste of time.

After all, the children of the ninja clan learn a lot before they even start school.

Therefore, the starting point for ninja children and ordinary children to go to school is not the same.

Outstanding children from elite families like the Uchiha and Hyuga clans may already be at graduation level upon entering the school.

How old was Kakashi when he started school? How old was he when he graduated?

The Hatake family was still just a small family.

Nara's cultural heritage surpasses that of Hatake.

Six years at the Ninja Academy, graduating with a test on the Three Body Techniques.

With Shikamaru's intelligence and the resources of the Nara clan, how difficult could it be for him to learn the Three Body Technique?
However, Shikaku looked serious and told Shikamaru not to graduate early, but to study hard and make more friends at school.

……

Uchiha family.

Sasuke still goes to school every day as usual, but he is growing to dislike going to school more and more.

Haruno Sakura, who was in the same grade, clung to him, and some other little girls, such as Yamanaka Ino, also liked to surround him.

In addition, he was secretly protected by Jonin from the Uchiha clan every day.

Furthermore, the village's higher-ups felt it necessary to study his physique, his cells, his chakra, and so on.

Are they known as the 'Twins of Destiny' alongside Naruto?
Was the Sage of Six Paths secretly protecting him?
Then he must have a big secret.

How could the village leadership remain indifferent?
The light screen said that Tezuka was Ichiraku Otsutsuki, and the village's higher-ups even managed to obtain Tezuka's cells, but through research, they found that he was just an ordinary person.

When he opened his eyes, there was no Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

But with fame comes more troubles.

"It's all the light barrier's fault," Sasuke thought bitterly.

Because of the light screen, Uchiha Sasuke is a famous figure in the ninja world.

But fewer and fewer people call him Sasuke.

The Third Hokage's father was named Sasuke.

The Third Hokage was quite satisfied with him calling him Sasuke.

But now, the Third Hokage doesn't seem to like Sasuke very much anymore!

Many people don't call him Sasuke; they just call him "Second Pillar."

His parents now affectionately call him Erzhuzi.

Even the instructors at the Ninja Academy called him "Sasuke".

Erzhuzi, Erzhuzi, he now deeply loathes this title.

He didn't feel anything about Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, becoming the Fifth Hokage.

According to what's shown on the screen, Tsunade should be the Fifth Hokage.

However, Jiraiya and Tsunade are equally famous, both being among the Legendary Sannin. After all, the Hokage are roughly equal!

It couldn't possibly be Orochimaru anyway.

Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, is a rogue ninja. Even if he returned to Konoha, he would probably be imprisoned!
Think about it carefully, how many things have happened in Konoha since the light screen first appeared?

Naruto was kidnapped and fell into the hands of the Akatsuki organization.

Nissan defected.

Danzo defected, and Jiraiya became Hokage...

……

One of Orochimaru's strongholds.

A tunnel extends deep underground, then branches out, branching and branching again, crisscrossing like a maze, where people unfamiliar with the area can easily get lost.

And deep within this stronghold.

In the laboratory, Dou was operating an instrument that resembled a desktop computer.

The technology tree in the ninja world has always been skewed.

What existed in the Warring States period before Konoha? Horse-drawn carriages, candles, and carrier pigeons. Now, decades later, we have electric lights, refrigerators, and short-range radio.

However, the status of the daimyo did not change much; only the status of the ninjas improved.

The only ones who can be compared to the Daimyo are the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The leader of a small ninja village is not as powerful as a daimyo.

The daimyo's strength was inferior to that of a ninja, but his status was very high.

Furthermore, while the ninja world also possessed resources and such, they remained obedient under the rule of the daimyo.

In short, the entire ninja world is very abnormal.

There can only be one explanation: because this world has chakra and ninjas.

The so-called era of ninjas created all of this, for the better and for the worse.

Technology has provided many conveniences, but even the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages still work with paper and pen, rather than using electronic instruments.

At this time, only Orochimaru and Danzo were in the laboratory.

Danzo's expression was not good.

Even now, Danzo still hasn't met Shin Uchiha.

As for Danzo wanting Shin Uchiha's right arm, Orochimaru didn't give in.

Danzo no longer has the Kaleidoscope.

In Orochimaru's view, Danzo's value was no longer that great.

Previously, Danzo was second only to the leader in Konoha, wielding great power and controlling numerous resources. Orochimaru could have benefited greatly from cooperating with Danzo.

But times have changed; Danzo is not as successful as Orochimaru now.

Under these circumstances, it's already quite generous of Orochimaru to cooperate with Danzo.

Danzo wanted too much but could give too little; it would be strange if Orochimaru agreed.

Shinichi Uchiha was one of Orochimaru's important experimental subjects.

Besides Shin Uchiha, Orochimaru had many other experimental subjects, such as Jugo.

Through various experiments, Orochimaru also achieved various results. Although most of them were unfinished products and unstable, it was already quite good to have something from nothing. All that was left was to further improve them.

"Oh, by the way, I got some interesting information: Jiraiya has become the Fifth Hokage," Orochimaru said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, Orochimaru felt a little uneasy inside.

Jiraiya, that idiot, could become Hokage, but Orochimaru couldn't.

If the old man hadn't been so power-hungry, Minato wouldn't have become Hokage.

People say Orochimaru is evil, but the truth is he's hard to control.

As for Danzo's support for him becoming Hokage, he didn't have any good intentions.

“Jiraiya…” Danzo squinted.

Danzo wasn't too surprised that Jiraiya became the Fifth Hokage.

The Fifth Hokage was either Jiraiya or Tsunade.

Although the screen says it's Tsunade, Hiruzen is more likely to be Jiraiya!
However, Danzo also felt a little resentful. Why was it so difficult for him to become Hokage?
