The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 197 Turning bad things into good things...Danzo, you have grown up!
Not to mention Jiraiya, he was caught off guard by this move.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew his best friend best, did not expect that his friend would turn the tables on him.

It turned out that in their previous conversation, the two had not mentioned that Nagato and the other two were Jiraiya's disciples. He thought that his best friend Danzo was not aware of the details of the interpersonal relationships.

As for how he knew?
Of course, it was Jiraiya, the disciple, who told the truth after returning to Konoha.

But later on, I heard from the toad in Myoboku Mountain that the three little ones all died in a war in the Rain Country.

The person is dead now, so it's too late to mention the Rinnegan or something like that.

He was about to arrange someone to contact the couple, but he felt bad about it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the three little ones did not suffer any disaster, but just lay dormant. After ten years of silence, they are still very powerful now. A few days ago, they appeared in the negotiation between their good friend Danzo and Hanzo of the Rain Country, causing their side to suffer a great loss.

"It turns out that Danzo knew about the relationship between Jiraiya and those three young men. Now it's not easy to let an old friend take the blame..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said secretly.

"Nagato Yahiko, Konan and the others are not dead?"

Jiraiya's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

Then he realized that his attitude was wrong.

The many senior ninjas attending the meeting were not stupid, and they immediately understood that the reason why their side suffered heavy losses in this operation must be that there must be other hidden reasons behind it.

When he looked at Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, his expression became a little complicated.

Because the stance question that Li Xia raised before was very sharp.

Also very ironic.

As the disciple of the Third Hokage and the teacher of the Fourth Hokage, you are one of the three ninjas of Konoha! Why would you spend time training ninjas for other villages out of sympathy? If you care about people from other countries and have sympathy for them, then why don't you put this care and sympathy on other villagers in your village?
Every time there is a Ninja World War, what do the heroic spirits who died in Konoha Village in the Land of Fire think about this matter in the underworld?
What do the hero’s orphans think about this?
How will the families accept the fact that people died in this mission?

How can those villagers who have lost their fathers, brothers, sons and husbands understand this?

What do those companions who are fighting on the front lines for the peace of the village think? Are they and their children so unworthy of your eyes, Jiraiya?
This is a question of whether your butt is sitting straight!
It’s a matter of principle!
There is no doubt that once Jiraiya's actions spread in the village, it will cause an extremely bad storm!

This is ten thousand times worse than what Hatake Sakumo did when he gave up the mission for his companions!
Hatake Sakumo chose to commit suicide out of self-blame. Then, who should take the blame for the heavy losses caused by the three foreign disciples trained by Jiraiya? How should they take the blame?
Looking at it this way, Danzo was really wronged!

Almost became the scapegoat!
"Jiraiya, we have no right to interfere with your pursuit of world peace. That is your freedom! But you help other countries and other villages to train strong people, and those little devils turn around and kill the elites in the village and kill our companions...

snort!
I can't understand it, I can't accept it, and I will never forgive you!"

Li Xia's voice was sonorous and powerful.

He said he would not take the blame.

As soon as these words came out, Jiraiya's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat.

The good mood brought by the good news that Sanxiao was still alive was gone.

Instead, there is deep self-blame and confusion.

If dozens of elite soldiers in the village really died in the hands of Sanxiao...

"Danzo, how can you be sure those three people are Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan?"

Jiraiya still held on to some hope.

Li Xia looked stern, glanced at the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, then asked in a deep voice:

"Huruzen, Yondaime, do I need to reveal the matter of those eyes to prove my difficulty?"

Those eyes... naturally refer to the Rinnegan.

But the Rinnegan is a matter of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"No…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and sighed.

Jiraiya will definitely take heavy responsibility this time.

And it’s the best so far.

Because if we continue to dwell on it, more people will be involved.

First of all, you, the Third Generation, have a bad teaching style and have brought up a good disciple. If you handle it improperly, he will lose his reputation in his later years.

Secondly, Jiraiya's elbow is outward, what about the disciple Namikaze Minato he taught? It will seriously undermine Minato's reputation.

Furthermore, the other two disciples, Orochimaru and Tsunade, were working together with Jiraiya at the time. As excellent ninjas, how could they not understand the potential of the Samsara Eye? Letting the little devil with the legendary Samsara Eye become the pillar of the Rain Country instead of eradicating it or bringing it back to the village to become one of their own... What do the villagers think of those two?
You have to know that Nagato Yahiko and Konan were already orphans at that time, so it was completely acceptable to bring them back to Konoha.

Jiraiya and the other two idiots didn't choose the best option, but instead made the stupidest choice.

This approach will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the reputation of Orochimaru and Tsunade!
From this we can see that in the end, the ones who suffered were completely the Hokage lineage!
The prestige of the Hokage lineage has been greatly damaged, and the selection of Hokage will no longer be limited to his lineage in the future.

"This time, I owe Danzo a favor..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed secretly again.

Jiraiya on the other side immediately realized that what Li Xia said was probably true the moment he heard the words "those eyes". After all, he knew about Nagato's pair of Samsara eyes, and he would never mention eyes if he had never seen them.

"It seems that it is really those three little devils..."

There was a bitter taste in his mouth.

He forced a wry smile on his face.

If dozens of Konoha elites were to face the Samsara Eye that Nagato had developed for ten years...

Well, it is indeed very likely that they will all be lost. Many years ago, when he parted with the three little guys, he had spent three full years training them to become jonin-level fighters. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, so it is impossible that the three little guys have not made any progress at all.

Facts have proved that Nagato has made rapid progress and even Danzo and Hanzo are no match for him!

That's Hanzo!
He was a powerful veteran Kage-level warrior who once caused him, Orochimaru, and Tsunade to engage in a tough battle.

Not to mention Danzo and the large number of elite Anbu from the Rain Village and the Konoha Village.

From then on, Jiraiya had nothing to say.

"The Root suffered heavy losses this time and needs reinforcements. Please all contribute..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject.

He took the initiative to help Li Xia ask for people.

In other words, the villain who proposed to reorganize the Root is no longer doing it in the capacity of the Root leader as in the original timeline.

Even if the major clans were unhappy later, it was not because they were unhappy with Li Xia.

This is the compensation made by the Hokage lineage.

"Ugh…"

Even the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who was obsessed with reducing the size of the Root and concentrating as much power as possible, did not say anything to stop it.

He also knew that if he pushed too hard and forced "Danzo" to make a big fuss, it would be a very bad situation for him, Jiraiya, and the people who had taken care of him, such as the Third Generation. The key point was that it would also greatly destroy the harmonious atmosphere within the village.

This was something he couldn't accept no matter what.

He loves Konoha Village.

"The Root suffered heavy losses during this mission, and we do need to replenish our forces. I hope you can understand and cooperate with Advisor Danzo as much as possible in rebuilding the Root."

Minato Namikaze had no choice but to add chips to the person who had been hindering him and whom he wanted to weaken.

The major families are naturally very grateful for his favors and face.

This is also the main reason why Li Xia did not press on step by step.

With the endorsement of the Third and Fourth Hokage, he would not have so many concerns when asking for people.

Of course.

It is impossible to let things pass so lightly:
"Let's put the root of the problem aside for now, let's talk about what we need to pay attention to in this incident..."

"Putting aside all prejudices, many homeless orphans from other villages are also very talented. Therefore, I hope the village can provide me with funds to expand Konoha's orphanage and house more homeless children. If we can find three or five good seedlings who have the potential to become Jonin, it will be a win for Konoha. And with the supervision of the Root, we will definitely not let spies from other villages infiltrate, so you can rest assured."

There is indeed no need to worry about Danzo's methods.

"Besides, after this incident, it is certain that Jiraiya is very good at teaching his disciples and has reached a very good level. In this case, why not let him teach one or two more classes of young people who have completed their studies at the ninja school, and train more talents for Konoha to compensate for this loss.

Since he has time to run around anyway, he might as well select some talented kids from the families that have suffered losses in the village and bring them along to teach them carefully.

Even if we just want to travel the ninja world together to broaden our horizons, that's fine."

As soon as these words were spoken, they attracted the attention of all the participating jonin.

Let Jiraiya train the next generation of descendants for the major families?
This is good.

If this was Jiraiya's punishment, they could totally accept it.

It would be best if their little one could be selected.

One Minato Namikaze, and three other youngsters from the Rain Country who appeared and fought off Hanzo and advisor Danzo, their teaching level is really top-notch.

In addition, most of the ninjutsu of the strong are secret, just like the secret techniques of the major clans. If my children can follow Jiraiya, they will definitely be exposed to many secret techniques and forbidden techniques that the family does not have.

They were all very tempted by what Jiraiya had, whether it was the exquisite supporting ninjutsu, the Sage Mode, or the contract inheritance of Mount Myoboku.

What’s more, Jiraiya has a special identity!
This means that their children will have the potential to compete for the position of Hokage in the future!

Hence, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes became lively and enthusiastic.

When everyone looked at Li Xia who replaced Danzo, their eyes became much gentler:
"When did this consultant become so visionary?"

If it were them, they would not dare to make such an "excessive" request to Jiraiya and the two Hokage in person!

"Could it be that I misunderstood this person before?"

"After that, Advisor Danzo will come to the family to select people. We can't be too stingy then..."

Everyone thought so.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend deeply: Turn bad things into good things... Danzo, you have grown up! You have a little bit of the thinking mode of Hokage...

Mitomonen, Utane Koharu, and Akimichi Torifu looked even more puzzled: How could an old friend have changed his temper? Why didn't he keep pestering her?
Jiraiya, the person involved, opened his mouth but didn't know how to refuse.

Not making a big deal out of it is already the greatest tolerance we can show him.

"Danzo, do you have any talent recommendations?"

Mitomon En asked with a smile.

Li Xia nodded:

"There is indeed a ..."
