Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 88 Transfer Order
"Haha, can't I just come to see you and Naruto?" Jiraiya laughed dryly twice and then said, but his face was full of guilt.

He also knew that he didn't have the confidence to say this. He had been back for a while, but it was not until today that he thought of coming to see Naruto.

Kakashi was speechless. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Master Jiraiya, to be honest, you shouldn't have come back to wade into this mess."

"Uh..." Jiraiya didn't know how to respond to Kakashi's direct words.

"Jiraiya-sama, neither Tokou nor the Sandaime would show the expression you have now," Kakashi said, "Jiraiya-sama, you are incapable of doing these things. Forcing yourself to get involved will only make things worse."

Jiraiya was speechless. He knew what Kakashi was talking about. After being promoted to the position of Hokage advisor by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he often felt uncomfortable. He had never been exposed to these things before, and when faced with the twists and turns in politics, he only felt it was troublesome.

"Kakashi, I hope you can come and help me." Jiraiya took a deep breath and simply stated his purpose.

"Lord Jiraiya, you're joking. I'm a ninja in the village. If Lord Jiraiya needs anything, can't you just give me an order?" Kakashi said.

"Kakashi, you know, that's not what I meant!" Kakashi's words were like saying nothing, and Jiraiya didn't know how to respond, so he could only speak vaguely.

"Then what exactly does Lord Jiraiya want to say?" Kakashi countered.

……

The living room fell into silence again. Kakashi sipped the sake in his glass slowly. After a long while, Kakashi finally spoke: "Look, Master Jiraiya, I told you that you are not suitable for this job."

"Kakashi, I have reasons for having to do this." Jiraiya sighed and said, "Dou Guang cannot become Hokage."

"Why?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"If Touko becomes Hokage, the future will undergo completely uncontrollable changes. At that time, a terrible disaster may occur." Jiraiya said seriously.

"Myobokusan said that?" Kakashi almost laughed out of anger when he heard this. Jiraiya should have come up with a reason, even if he said that he discriminated against Uchiha and didn't want Uchiha to be Hokage, it would be better than using the prophecy as an excuse.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but his expression basically showed agreement.

"So, Lord Jiraiya, if you become Hokage, where will you lead the village?" Kakashi asked.

"I..." Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this question before, but at the moment he could only bite the bullet and say, "I will ensure the peace of the village until the Hokage's hat is handed over to the Sixth Hokage."

Kakashi smiled with relief when he heard this.

No wonder Uchiha Tokugawa never took Jiraiya seriously. During this period of time, he was a little anxious because Jiraiya frequently showed up in the village, but every time he went to find Uchiha Tokugawa, Uchiha Tokugawa would just drink tea with him in the office and then tell him not to worry. I guess it was fun for Uchiha Tokugawa to see him getting anxious.

Kakashi's smile left Jiraiya a little confused.

"Jiraiya-sama, are there any plans for the sequel to Intimate Paradise?" Kakashi suddenly asked, "If you're out of ideas, how about we go for a walk around Kabukicho in the village?" "No... no need." Seeing this, Jiraiya knew that Kakashi was clearly rejecting him. "It's getting late, I won't disturb your rest."

Kakashi stood up to see him off.

When the two of them reached the door, Jiraiya suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, I got carried away by drinking and almost forgot something important."

"Kakashi, there have been many rebellious ninjas from the Kirigakure on the border recently. The village has received many requests for help. Even the Daimyo has sent a message asking about this matter. The Sandaime-sama plans to send someone to deal with it. You are the best person to lead the team."

Kakashi's eyes darkened when he heard this. Was he planning to transfer him out of the village?
"Okay, I understand." Kakashi nodded without changing his expression.

……

Not long after Jiraiya left, Kakashi also rushed to the Uchiha clan's territory.

After arriving at Uchiha Tokou's house, Kakashi learned from the housekeeper Keiko that Uchiha Tokou had gone out for training. After asking for the direction of the training ground, Kakashi rushed towards the training ground without stopping.

After arriving at the training ground that Uchiha Keiko mentioned, Kakashi saw Uchiha Doukou meditating in the center of the woods at first sight.

"You came to see me so late, it seems that something serious happened." Uchiha Douguang's voice sounded in Kakashi's ears, but he still maintained his meditation posture. "Jiraiya came to see you?"

"Yes." Kakashi nodded. "He wants me to go to the border to clear out the Kirigakure rebel ninjas whose number has increased dramatically for some reason recently."

"Are they planning to transfer you out of the village?" Uchiha Douguang exited Sage Mode and slowly stood up. "That's not impossible. You've been in the Anbu, hidden from the public, for years. You need some achievements you can show off publicly."

Although Kakashi made great achievements at Kannabi Bridge, in the eyes of some people in the village, the achievements of this battle should be attributed more to the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. Compared with the record of Uchiha Tokou who killed a whole ninja village alone and frightened them, it is not so convincing. In addition, Kakashi has been working in the Anbu for many years and cannot show his true face. Naturally, his achievements cannot be made public.

Therefore, if Kakashi can successfully complete this mission to the border, it will definitely be beneficial to him personally.

"If I leave, will it be okay for you to be alone in the village?" Kakashi asked.

"What problem can I have?" Uchiha Douguang laughed, "Unless they intend to tear each other apart and start a war directly in the village, but do they have the courage to do that?"

"Instead, you should think about how to complete this mission beautifully." Uchiha Douguang smiled, "If my guess is correct, they should want to transfer you and the Yondaime-sama's former subordinates out of the village. Although Xuanjian and his men are quite powerful, it will still be very troublesome if you are surrounded. Your strength has stagnated for a long time compared to the Third Shinobi World War. Senior White Fang was much stronger than you when he was your age."

"Do you also want to persuade me to take off this Sharingan?" Kakashi asked, touching his right eye.

"That's not the case," Uchiha Douguang shook his head, "This is the agreement between you and my brother. Uchiha always respects the will of heroes. However, regarding your strength, I do have some suggestions."
