Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 909: The fight for the Samsara Eye!
Konoha!

After nearly a week, the huge pit in the village was filled.

After all, we are all ninjas. As long as we are willing to use chakra, we can use earth jutsu to smooth it out.

However, they are not as good as Onoki and Huangtu, so they cannot use earth escape techniques directly to build.

Temporary tents and wooden houses have been built in the leveled village.

Many villagers returned to the village.

The work efficiency of ninjas is far beyond that of ordinary people, so they can produce these things so quickly.

If it were the daimyo and nobles who took action, a week would not be enough for them to discuss how to distribute the benefits.

Of course, it was Yamato who died, otherwise his Wood Release would have been the most suitable.

Isn't there a saying that goes 'The first generation used Wood Release to conquer the world, while Yamato used Wood Release to protect the environment'?

One "Lianzhujia Jutsu" means more than a dozen wooden houses, and this technique is not very labor-intensive for Yamato, and he can easily build hundreds of wooden houses in a day.

Wood Release is perfect for construction!

Unfortunately, Yamato was killed together with Sai by Hinata Sogetsu in the previous mission in the Land of Birds.

I can only say that Hinata Cangyue is really cruel.

Once there is no restraint from the hall, anyone who bumps into someone will get hurt, and anyone who strikes someone will die. They have no idea what "showing mercy" means.

Even if Dou Ping asked her to destroy Konoha, she would only ask when to start, and would not say anything like "kill how many".

Anyway, Tang Ping felt that she killed too quickly and too cruelly, so he had no intention of letting her continue to attack for the time being.

There is still use for keeping Konoha.

Hokage Building!

At this time, the mud and debris that almost submerged the building have been cleared, making the building barely usable. At least there is no need to worry about stepping into mud inside.

The Hokage's office at this time.

Jiraiya, Asuma, Mito Enmon, Utane Koharu, Naruto, and Shikamaru were all there.

This also includes Kakashi who just returned.

Because of his amazing performance in the previous battle and his background, Naruto also tacitly accepted that the other party was qualified to participate in such a core meeting.

Shikamaru is outstanding because of his 'wisdom'.

After all, the new generation of 'Konoha Military Advisor' is waiting for him to inherit, so he is qualified to participate.

All together there are only seven people.

Small meeting!

Jiraiya learned Sarutobi Hiruzen's habit of holding small meetings.

After this week, the situation in Konoha has finally stabilized, so this small meeting can be held today.

As for matters such as food, supplies, resettlement compensation, etc., they have already been dealt with on weekdays and do not need to be discussed at such a small meeting, so the most important issues are discussed.

"I have called you together today to discuss who will use the Immortal's Eye!"

Jiraiya got straight to the point.

He had thought about this question many times this week, but had not come to a conclusion.

He himself is certainly not under consideration.

It’s not that he doesn’t crave power, but because when he enters the Sage Mode, he is already at the Super Shadow level, so no matter how powerful the Sage’s Eye is, it won’t cause him to undergo a qualitative change.

And there is one thing that he would not choose to use himself.

age!

Ninja is a profession without a late stage. Now that his strength is declining, how can he use these immortal eyes on himself?

So, there are actually only three most suitable options.

Asuma, Kakashi, and Naruto!
Kakashi was originally his first choice, but he was persuaded by the two advisory elders.

Because their reasons are legitimate.

Death of White Fang!

This matter was mentioned when Dohei impeached Sarutobi Hiruzen, and later appeared in the book "My Struggle".

Even though Kakashi has always been the successor of the "Will of Fire".

But no one dared to gamble on such a thing, so even if Jiraiya was unwilling, he had to give up his intention of handing over the Sage's Eye to the other party.

However, no matter how secret the decision is, we must allow the other party to compete fairly in public.

After all, he is a legitimate member of the Hokage family and a Kage-level powerhouse. How can he avoid the other party and make decisions on his own?

There was only one reason for Naruto's words.

Son of prophecy!

The other party was selected entirely because of this reason.

In Jiraiya's opinion, the other party is the hope of defeating the evil Sun Country. Unfortunately, even if he is the Hokage, he must consider the views of the entire Hokage system and the village, and cannot make decisions on his own, so he has to discuss it.

Note that the Immortal's Eye is a 'trophy'.

But they were the village's spoils, not Jiraiya's personal property, so they had to be dealt with after discussion, instead of him giving them to whoever he wanted.

Especially since these eyes were obtained at the cost of the 'destruction of the village', if he failed to convince the majority of people, it would definitely cause a huge backlash, so Jiraiya dragged it out for a week.

Now that it could not be delayed any longer, this small meeting was convened at the urging of the two advisory elders.

Originally he wanted to use the immaturity of the transplant technology as an excuse, but Utane Koharu told him not to worry at all, as the Root Demon Gera Technique had yielded some results and he could completely integrate the Bloodline Limit.

Otherwise, the meeting might not even be open today.

"Today, let's discuss who will receive the Sage's Eye. Kakashi, Asuma, and Naruto, I'm going to choose one of you to receive the Rinnegan!"

Jiraiya called out the name.

Now there are only three people who are most suitable, both in terms of status and strength, and there is no need to consider others.

"Hokage-sama, this eye of mine is a relic left to me by Obito, so you don't need to consider me!"

Kakashi was the first to answer.

When Jiraiya opened his/her mouth, he/she had actually observed the expressions of the two elders and knew that he/she had no hope, so he/she spoke up at the first opportunity.

He had known about the double standards and hypocrisy of the Hokage faction before, not to mention the explanation of "My Struggle". If it were not for the purpose of destroying the corrupt Konoha and letting the will of the scorching sun purify the ninja world, he would never have been able to stay here.

"Yeah…!"

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he was still thinking about how to convince Kakashi to give up "voluntarily", but he didn't expect the other party to speak in advance.

After Kakashi gave up, only Asuma and Naruto were left to choose between.

After Jiraiya looked around hesitantly for a few seconds, his eyes fell on Naruto.

In the end, he was still prepared to give the Sage's Eye to the Child of Prophecy, because he was the one who could save the ninja world.

"Jiraiya, don't you think it's too willful to let a little Jinchūriki transplant the Rinnegan?"

Utane Koharu interrupted Jiraiya and spoke.

It will be troublesome once they speak, so it is necessary to do it in advance.

And what she said does make sense.

Naruto... is too young!
Although he is powerful, his character is not stable enough. Moreover, he is a Jinchūriki and can go berserk at any time. Who can stand this?

Any sane person would choose Asuma over a teenage brat.

Who made Asuma, the 'Dragon of Konoha', perform well, be of the right age, and have a more suitable identity?

"That's right, and Asuma better represents the will of fire!"

Mitomon En also echoed the words.

Will of Fire!

In fact, it can also be seen as a Naruto series.

If Naruto really takes the position, the Hokage department will not submit to him.

Yes, he is the son of the Fourth Hokage and a member of the Hokage family.

But compared with Asuma, who can better represent the interests of the Hokage system, Naruto has no advantage at all.

Only because Jiraiya is the Hokage can Naruto compete with Asuma, otherwise he would not even be qualified to compete.

Jiraiya regards the Child of Prophecy as his life creed, but that doesn't mean the same is true for the Naruto series.

For them, the one who can bring them benefits and stand on their side is the son of prophecy, otherwise he is nothing.

As for Naruto, no one thinks he can bring any benefit to the Hokage system.

"You lecherous immortal, you should give the opportunity to Asuma-sensei as for eye transplants!"

Naruto touched the back of his head and spoke

He really didn't care about the Rinnegan, and he was confident in the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body, so he refused.

It was his experiences during this period that made him understand the importance of strength. Otherwise, he would have said this long ago and there would be no need to wait until today.

"Well then, I'll leave the Rinnegan transplant to you, Asuma!"

Jiraiya sighed softly.

He had no problem with Asuma, he just thought that the Son of Prophecy was the best candidate, but now it seemed that he was the only choice.

"Thank you, Hokage. I will definitely use this power to protect the village and let the evil Sun Country understand the strength of Konoha!"

Asma immediately made his position clear.

His attitude at least made Jiraiya feel a lot better.

But at this moment, an Anbu rushed into the Hokage's office and brought something that they all couldn't believe.
