Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 70 Jiraiya returns to the village

After the Sandaime finished speaking, Kakashi rejected the proposal without a second thought: "Forget it, Sandaime-sama, let White Fang and my father enjoy the sacrifices in peace in the family shrine."

The living room of the Hatake ancestral home fell into silence again. Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his cigarette, and after a long time, he took out a scroll and placed it on the table.

"Sir Sandaime, what is this?" Kakashi asked puzzledly.

"The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Naruto, it's almost time for you to start formally training in ninjutsu. This is the technique that best suits his physique. You can teach him the most basic Shadow Clone Technique. When he grows up a little, you can teach him this one."

Kakashi was speechless. Anything else would be fine, but since it involved Naruto, it was difficult for him to refuse.

"Then I would like to thank Hokage-sama on behalf of Naruto." Kakashi said after putting the scroll away.

"As I should." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Before, I was busy with official duties and neglected to take care of Naruto. Fortunately, now that you are here, I can finally rest assured. As for the other technique, I have found a more suitable teacher for Naruto. In a few years, he will teach Naruto himself."

Kakashi's expression shifted slightly. The ninjutsu that the Sandaime specifically mentioned as something he wanted to teach Naruto was probably the Flying Thunder God Jutsu that the Fourth Hokage was famous for, and the Rasengan that he later developed. Naruto might not have the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, so the Rasengan that the Sandaime Hokage was referring to must be... and the person who would teach Naruto the Rasengan...

"Is Lord Jiraiya coming back?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "That guy has been out there for long enough. It's time for him to come back and share some of the burden with an old guy like me."

Kakashi didn't say anything. He understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned Jiraiya at this time just to warn him and Uchiha Dohuan behind him. Unlike the old and frail Sandaime, Jiraiya, who mastered the magic of Myoboku Mountain, would be the undisputed strongest man in the village once he returned to the village. Although Uchiha Dohuan was strong, there was still a certain distance between him and Jiraiya who was giving his all.

But is this really the case? Kakashi couldn't help but think of what he saw that night: Uchiha Douhuan with lavender eyeshadow on his eyes. Besides, would Master Jiraiya really be willing to get involved in these things?

Seeing that Kakashi was a little distracted, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: "Kakashi, are you really not going to try to run for the Fifth Hokage? I will let Jiraiya assist you."

"Hokage-sama, please stop joking. Jiraiya-sama is far more qualified to be Hokage than I am," said Kakashi.

"You can't say that. As a teacher, don't I know the temper of that brat? He will never take over the burden on my shoulders." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Lord Jiraiya will understand your efforts," Kakashi said.

"Okay." Seeing Kakashi's firm attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to change the subject. "Kakashi, let's not talk about the Fifth Hokage for now. What are your plans for the future?"

"Do Hwan invited me to work in the Security Department, responsible for the detention and interrogation of criminals with special identities." Kakashi said. There was nothing to hide. As soon as he reported to the Security Department, the Third Hokage would know it immediately. It would seem much more frank to say it directly.

"The Security Department?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched. Kakashi and Uchiha Dohuan seemed to have a closer relationship than he had imagined. This made him sigh inwardly, but he remained calm and said, "It's a good place. Dohuan is also a good boy with the will of fire in his heart."

"Indeed, Dohwan's understanding of the Will of Fire is so profound that it constantly puts me to shame," Kakashi said expressionlessly. "The Shogun and Nidaime would surely be very happy to know that the village has young people like you," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion. "Then, Kakashi, I won't bother you any more."

"I'll take you there." Kakashi was about to get up when Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed him back.

"It's really presumptuous of an old man like me to come to you so late." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, "I'll just take a walk back to digest my food. This ramen tastes really good. No wonder Naruto likes it so much."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen said so, Kakashi still sent him to the door.

"Kakashi." Before leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned back again and said earnestly, "Now that you've pulled yourself together, you still have to keep up with your training. My old bones can only hold on for a few more years. I hope I can personally put the divine robe of the Fifth Hokage on you."

Kakashi didn't respond, but silence was the best answer.

……

Time passed day by day, and three days had passed since the village was under martial law. After that day of martial law, the public security in the village had visibly improved. The work of the security department members became much easier, and the number of complaints received by the security department also dropped drastically.

Kakashi has also taken up his post in the new department of the Security Department on the banks of the Nanga River. In addition, the Anbu sent by the Third Hokage to investigate the case of collusion with Orochimaru to kidnap the children of the village family have arrived. The Security Department has also dug up some old files, and a joint investigation team headed by Uchiha Dohuan has been officially established.

Before the investigation officially began, Uchiha Douhuan gave instructions in the conference room that all members of the three clans involved must be severely punished, the three clans' industries must be seized, and the families of the victims in the case must be compensated.

However, before the meeting was halfway through, Uchiha Inahiro knocked on the door of the conference room.

Uchiha Inahib came to the conference room and whispered a few words in Uchiha Dohuan's ear, and Uchiha Dohuan's expression instantly became very interesting.

Two hours ago.

The place where the Third Hokage's eyes intersected was the largest hot spring hotel cluster in the village. After a tiring day, all the villagers, whether ninjas or civilians, loved to come here to take a bath and wash away their fatigue. But today, a white-haired Nakadashi suddenly appeared here.

This white-haired Zhongdeng was hiding in the bushes not far from the open-air hot spring, with his big butt sticking out and making obscene laughs from time to time.

However, before the white-haired Zhongdeng could see for long, he was discovered by the people in the hot spring pool, and his screams instantly attracted the patrolling security team.

After dispatching three teams of patrol members, the white-haired Nakadashi was finally captured and brought back to the security department. However, some Uchiha clan captains in the security department lost their composure the moment they saw Nakadashi. Isn't this Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas?
"Excuse me, everyone. There is an important matter in the Security Department that I need to take care of." Uchiha Douhuan said to the others in the conference room, suppressing the twitching corners of his mouth.
