Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 62 You brat, you've thoroughly studied the Will of Fire?

The Uzumaki clan, Kusagakure...

Jiraiya pondered what to do.

He glanced at everyone, then put his mind at ease and went over to say goodbye to the leader of Yugakure Village, Tsuchida, and the others.

There's no time to lose!

We'll set off back to Konoha today.

Do not!

Going back today is probably too late.

Jiraiya's eyes darted around, and he already had some ideas in mind, but he still wanted to discuss it with Kyohiko.

That kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, he's bound to come up with a plan!

The leader of the group, Tsuchida, and the others did not know why Jiraiya left in such a hurry, but they guessed that it might be for the safety of his subordinates.

After all, the Konoha team performed exceptionally well this time.

Especially Ryōmine Kyohiko.

This young genin is too powerful; almost no one of his peers can match him. The longer he stays outside, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

even--

From Tsuchida's perspective, Yoshimine Kyohiko's strength has already reached the level of a Jonin. It's just a matter of what kind of technique he used to defeat Yugito.

"Let's go too."

Tsuchida watched Jiraiya and his group leave, and then left with Yugito and the others.

With a personal spirit master by his side, he naturally dared not linger.

After leaving Yugakure, he said, "Yugito, tell me in detail about the battle."

The wooden figure nodded.

After carefully describing the battle situation, Tu Tai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off. After listening to your description, I understand a little better now."

"What?"

"That child must have used some kind of forbidden technique with minimal side effects, and you don't know him very well, so even though you used the tailed beast's chakra, you still lost. The final blow could have killed you, but if it hadn't, it might have triggered the tailed beast's defensive rampage within you..."

The earthen platform is described in detail.

The two wooden figures nodded repeatedly as they listened.

"That might be true, but I still lost."

"No, I'm not telling you to underestimate him. On the contrary, I mean you must be even more careful if you want to fight him again!"

Tu Tai's expression was even more serious than before.

Yukito asked in surprise, "Why?"

Although Ye Yuelian and Motoi were a few years older, their abilities and knowledge were limited, and they scratched their heads, completely baffled.

"Fighting requires not only strength, but also wisdom. This kid is the type who fights with his brain, making him a very troublesome opponent."

Earthen platform explanation.

Strong, intelligent, and cunning—such ninjas are rare indeed.

"Fight with your brain..."

The wooden figure is deep in thought.

Tsuchikage said, "Yes, there was a typical example of this in Konoha. His name once resounded throughout the ninja world."

"Who?"

"Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage of Konoha, was known as the 'Speediest Shinobi in the World'."

……

"Teacher, you called me out alone..."

"The Whirlpool Clan, this is troublesome!"

Jiraiya pulled Kyohiko out.

of course.

Both of them are shadow clones, so after dissolving the clones, they return directly to their original bodies without affecting everyone's journey.

Jingyan was somewhat speechless.

He wanted Jiraiya to make the decision, but Jiraiya turned around and asked him again.

Who exactly is the teacher?

After a moment of silence, he looked at Jiraiya: "Teacher, since you let me speak, may I share my thoughts?"

"Yes, it's about brainstorming."

Jiraiya blushed.

He felt...

I am the most shameful teacher in the world!

but.

Having gone through the ordeal of Yahiko asking for help and pulling Kyohiko aside, he had nothing left to lose!

Jiraiya's expression was resolute.

"Go ahead and speak, I'm fully prepared."

"I don't think we need to care about what the Grass Ninja Village thinks. They could never be on our side anyway. The interests of the smaller ninja villages and us are definitely not constant."

"Kyohiko said."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "That's a self-serving argument. You might resonate with Danzo, but your teacher... oh, I mean the Third Hokage, would be very angry and disgusted."

"It's not about self-interest."

Jingyan answered seriously.

Jiraiya tilted his head: "You're not trying to say that this is still for the sake of peace between us, are you?"

His expression was—

Let's see how you make this up this time!

Kyohiko shook his head: "The Grass Village is sandwiched between the Leaf Village and the Iwagakure Village. Their peace with us actually depends on the attitude of the Iwagakure Village. If the Hokage wants peace between the Grass Country and the Fire Country, he only needs to make peace with the Earth Country."

This is the mindset of a great power.

Jiraiya could understand, but he still sighed deeply with mixed feelings.

"you're right……"

He sat down.

"Yahiko wanted to improve the Land of Rain, but small countries and villages are destined to face difficulties when facing powerful nations. Hanzo previously chose to resist, but paid a heavy price..."

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo was already quite remarkable, but Amegakure only had one Hanzo.

There is only one Amegakure village in the small ninja village.

"Teacher, the real problem is whether Kushina's clan will be dealt with as soon as possible after the Grass Village finds out. After all, from their perspective, the Uzumaki clan may not want Konoha to have her again."

"Um……"

Jiraiya nodded.

The Uzumaki clan was wiped out suddenly, and no one knows exactly what happened. It's highly likely that many forces in the ninja world were involved, and even Jiraiya once suspected that Konoha itself was involved.

For example, Danzo.

That period was when Danzo had the strongest control over the Anbu, unlike now when many of them have been brought back under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command.

of course.

This was just a suspicion in his heart, without any evidence, but it was enough to make Jiraiya wary.

"And one more thing, how do we ensure her safety after bringing her back to the village?"

"Yes! It's best not to let the village know before bringing it back, especially since we don't know their attitude yet..."

Teacher, you've even learned to apply what you've learned to other situations!

Jingyan was greatly pleased.

Jiraiya shared his thoughts.

"You're right. That's perfect. Minato has probably just returned from Iwagakure and hasn't gone back to the village yet. He's also Kushina's boyfriend and has a relationship with Yuzuki. Let him go there while he's at it."

"Teacher, you can decide for yourself."

Despite this, Kyohiko nodded repeatedly.

Jiraiya frowned slightly.

He was still thinking about how to ensure Yuzuki's safety.

We still need to go and see the old man!

of course.

We have to wait until things at Shuimen are finished.

Jiraiya took out a scroll, wrote down the information he had obtained, and then took out a bottle and extracted a little blood from it.

"Teacher, you're very well prepared."

Jingyan was speechless.

Jiraiya's behavior is becoming increasingly obvious; he used to try to hide it, but now he doesn't even bother pretending anymore.

Don't worry about the details.
