Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 39 Can't get it from either side? I get it!

The familiar courtyard.

Jingyan returned home, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He opened the door and stepped inside, but was suddenly taken aback. After being away for several days, the place was not as chaotic as he had imagined; instead, many new facilities had been added.

There are more sandbags now.

Secondly, some plants were also planted in certain areas of the courtyard...

Herbs?

However, the door and windows were covered in dust, and it looked like no one had entered.

Jingyan opened the door, went inside, and quickly cleaned the room.

"So tired!"

Instead of immediately going to train, he went to the study and searched for a long time before finally finding a book.

Swordsmanship Notes

Knife skills.

Kyohiko opened it, and inside was a summary of Tobirama Senju's swordsmanship.

Judging from their ideas and concepts, the subsequent Crescent Moon Dance and Leaf Style: Willow all originated from Tobirama Senju's ideas on swordsmanship.

"White Fang's strategy is assassination, a one-hit kill."

"Tobirama Senju's strategy was to use illusion techniques, ninjutsu, and many other methods to conceal his true intentions and create an opportunity to kill his opponent in one blow."

"The Flying Thunder God Slash has a similar effect."

Madara's assessment of Tobirama Senju as an enemy is the greatest praise for his tactical style.

What about yourself?

Jingyan read it carefully and began to formulate a plan in his mind.

He has no intention of refining his swordsmanship.

For him, the knife is a tool for forging and honing.

However, it seems that the White Fang Blade Technique has also enhanced his reaction time and ninja tool skills?

"No, to be precise, it should be my hand reaction speed and release speed."

Jingyan thought it over carefully and then summarized.

In other words.

White Fang's swordsmanship and ideas require extremely keen judgment, as well as astonishing reaction and attack speed.

Kakashi doesn't quite possess these qualities.

He can still control speeds as fast as Minato Namikaze's or the Flying Thunder God Technique with ease.

That is talent.

If Kakashi also possessed such talent, he wouldn't really need the Sharingan; he could control Chidori to a level suitable for combat.

of course.

Kakashi's talent isn't bad, but compared to Minato Namikaze and White Fang, he's still a level below.

"I'm definitely not as talented as White Fang in this area."

"so."

"I should combine the strengths of both approaches and make up for my weaknesses as much as possible, so that I can become stronger before the war arrives!"

The ninja world today appears to have entered a period of temporary peace, but in reality, conflicts and small-scale wars are occurring everywhere.

This applies not only to Konoha and Kirigakure, but also to other villages.

War can break out at any time, and we must not blindly wait for an opportunity using the old timeline concept.

I've had enough rest.

Practice!

Jingyan went downstairs to continue his cultivation.

As evening fell, seven or eight sandbags attacked him. He quickly knocked three of them away, then ducked down and slipped through an opening, escaping all the way to the outer perimeter.

With improved skills and familiarity with the procedures, the current training is no longer very effective.

We need to create a mechanism so that the shadow clone can control it.

……

That night, Kyohiko went to bed early.

however.

Suddenly, he woke up with a start, grabbed the kunai beside him, and instantly reached the window.

But the next moment.

"Why are you so wary, even in the village?"

Jiraiya opened the window.

Jingyan was taken aback.

"teacher?"

He put away his kunai and asked in surprise, "It's so late, why are you here instead of resting?"

"I want to have a chat with you."

Jiraiya looked at him, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Are you free?"

"certainly."

Jingyan stood up.

Outside, Jiraiya sat on the roof.

The bright moon shines high in the sky.

He was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a juice in the other when he saw Jingyan pat the spot next to him.

Jingyan went over and sat down.

Jiraiya seemed to have something on his mind.

"Just drink the juice."

"Um."

Jingyan took a sip.

Orange juice.

The taste is not bad.

Jiraiya drank his sake and then began to talk to himself.

content……

It's nothing more than the ideology of peace.

It's the same old story.

Kyohiko was not surprised. Given Jiraiya's personality, if it were not the Land of Waves but the Land of Rivers, and the opponent were the Land of Wind, he might hesitate and not choose to intervene.

The situation is quite different in the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village.

Talking about peace with them is like casting pearls before swine.

The current hesitation and indecision seem to be partly due to the influence of the Third Hokage, and partly due to concerns about the current situation of Konoha. If there is a conflict with Kirigakure in the Land of Waves, the conflict will escalate further, causing damage to Konoha.

This is indeed a reasonable consideration.

He listened quietly until the end.

Jiraiya said, "Kyohiko, you're different from ordinary children. You always have amazing ideas and words. What do you think—haha, I asked for nothing. You said before that we should stop it."

He took another sip, talking as he drank.

Rather than chatting with Kyohiko, Jiraiya was now sorting out his own thoughts.

All he needs is a listener.

but.

Isn't Minato Namikaze in the village?

That's fine, who knows, we might even make a quick buck.

Jingyan squinted, trying to suppress his drowsiness.

As a child, being woken up in the middle of the night is incredibly frustrating, but Jiraiya's predicament couldn't be solved with just a suggestion.

He was feeling very lost.

Fortunately, Jiraiya's peace ideals are not yet fully solidified, so there is still time.

As for that stubborn old man like Hiruzen Sarutobi—

Jingyan, to hell with him!

He listened quietly.

After Jiraiya finished speaking and let out a long sigh, he asked, "Teacher, what you're really worried about is that Konoha's strength isn't enough right now, and you're afraid that interfering with the Land of Waves will cause conflict with Kirigakure, and that weakening your strength will lead to an attack from even more ninja villages, right?"

"Yes, that's something we've considered."

Jiraiya nodded.

Kyohiko said, "I don't understand village governance, nor do I understand the general trend of the ninja world or the conflict between nations, but when I was a kid, I would call on my friends to fight with me. If all else failed, I could use things like candy to get others to join me."

Why talk about chivalry and honor with evil sects like the Hidden Mist Village?

Jiraiya paused for a second, then couldn't help but chuckle.

sugar……

That's really childish.

However, it is very effective.

Children are usually unable to move when they see candy, but the relationship between nations and ninja villages is not as simple as children fighting.

Jiraiya smiled.

"Anything else? Please continue."

"If we think about it this way, the Land of Waves is like a training ground. Both I and the other person want to train there, but the difference is that I don't want to monopolize it. He does, so I'll get the others who don't want to monopolize it to fight him together."

"Let's fight together..."

Jiraiya frowned.

The Land of Waves holds a special position in maritime transport, but this is only beneficial to the Land of Fire and the Land of Water; it does not bring much benefit to other countries.

How can we unite?

If I had to choose, it would be Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

The Hidden Cloud Village would not want to see either the Hidden Leaf Village or the Hidden Mist Village obtain the Land of Waves.

"There's another way. I'll find someone to disrupt things, so neither side can get anything. As for the others, we'll figure out how to deal with them later."

"Can't get it from either side?"

Jiraiya was taken aback.

Then, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"How stupid of me! Kyohiko, you're absolutely right. I already know the general direction, and the person I've found is definitely an expert among experts."

As Jiraiya spoke, he swiftly vanished in a flash.

Looks like I should go find Orochimaru.

Given the current situation, it might be difficult for Orochimaru to pull the Land of Waves to the Land of Fire's side, but when it comes to causing trouble and creating chaos, he's an absolute expert.

Furthermore.

Another Danzo, also an expert in this area!

Jiraiya cursed himself for being foolish.

Such a simple thing, yet it required Kyohiko to remind me, perhaps...

I really have a very narrow mindset!
