Starting with a list of Naruto episodes watched by Tobirama Senju

Chapter 185, Episode 11: Character Review

At the same time and in the same place, the people on Tobirama Senju's side all looked quite relaxed.

There's no way around it; with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, alive, it just gives you a sense of security.

Look, Mito is even cracking sunflower seeds.

"Ahem. Mito, everyone's waiting for the light screen to appear, and you're just sitting here eating sunflower seeds. That's not very nice, is it?"

Mito Uzumaki rolled her eyes at Hashirama Senju.

Having been married to Hashirama for so many years, she knows him all too well.

The reason he said that was simply because he also wanted to eat some sunflower seeds.

"Give."

Mito pulled a handful of sunflower seeds from his pocket and placed them in Hashirama's hand.

"Mito, that's not what I meant."

Hashirama tried to maintain his composure, but Mito wouldn't tolerate it. "You don't want it? Then I'll give it to someone else."

After saying that, Mito reached out to take the melon seeds back from Hashirama's hand.

"No, I was just kidding."

Hashirama withdrew his right hand, dodging Mito's outstretched hand that reached for the melon seeds.

"Tch! What a jerk!"

Mito rolled her eyes at Hashirama again, and then began to distribute sunflower seeds to everyone.

She brought a lot of sunflower seeds, enough for everyone present to have a handful.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere on Tobirama Senju's side, the atmosphere on the Third Hokage's side was rather tense.

"Jiraiya, I heard that several ninja squads' missions have been disrupted by those rogue ninjas in the past few days. Although the missions were not failed, the employers suffered some losses. If this continues, Konoha's reputation will suffer a great blow."

"Old man, I don't have any good ideas either."

Speaking of this, I can't help but get a headache.

To deal with the sabotage by these rogue and traitorous ninjas, he deliberately sent out Minato and Sakumo to secretly act as bodyguards for the ninja teams on missions.

At first, it had some effect. Minato and Sakumo took action and killed a group of rogue ninja and rogue ninja, which made them famous and taught these money-grubbing guys that they could earn money but not have the life to spend it.

But as the saying goes, money can be a powerful motivator.

After Kumogakure and Iwagakure increased the amount of money they offered for missions at the underground gold exchange, these guys started sabotaging Konoha's missions again.

This time it's even crazier than last time.

It got so crazy that even Minato and Sakumo's intervention was ineffective.

After all, there were only two of them, while there were many Konoha ninjas on missions outside.

Distracted, even with his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato couldn't keep an eye on everyone.

Furthermore, it would be a waste of talent to have two powerful ninjas like Minato and Sakumo serve as bodyguards for teams doing C-rank and B-rank missions for an extended period of time.

However, without these two people protecting them, the failure rate of the mission and the employer's losses would be even higher.

Fortunately, Sunagakure and Kirigakure have agreed to Konoha's request and have begun supplying them with minerals, seafood, and other resources.

Even if the price is a bit higher than usual, it's still good news.

"How about we send Minato and Sakumo to cause some trouble in Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

"No, old man. On the surface, those rogue ninjas and traitors have no connection with Kumo and Iwa villages. We, Konoha, cannot be the first to make a move."

"Then let's go to the underground gold exchange and issue a mission to destroy Yun and Yan villages."

"This doesn't seem to work either. The two villages offered too high a price to encourage those money-grubbing fools to cause us trouble. I also suspect that they're hoping we'll follow suit and then use their wealth to bankrupt us."

"This won't work, that won't work, how come you've become even more indecisive than me?"

The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

This disciple is good in every way, just like him in every aspect, except that sometimes he can't distinguish between what's important and what's not.

Konoha doesn't provoke trouble, but it's not afraid of trouble either.

Judging from the fact that Kumogakure and Iwagakure only dared to engage in clandestine activities and did not dare to confront Konoha directly, they were also wary of our side.

Therefore, in the Third Hokage's view, as long as Konoha showed a strong stance, it would be enough to intimidate Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

"Jiraiya, you're the Hokage of Konoha now. You need to stand up for yourself and not back down."

"."

Jiraiya remained silent, staring at the Third Hokage with a complex expression for a long while before finally saying, "I can stand up for myself, and I can order Minato and Sakumo to take a trip to Kumogakure and Iwagakure, but what kind of chain reaction might occur afterward? Are you willing to take responsibility for that, old man?"

"Responsible? Responsible for what? I'm retired now, you're the Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya almost laughed out of anger.

He looked at the Third Hokage, gave him a thumbs up, and said in praise, "Old man, you truly deserve to be my teacher. You've taught me another lesson this time."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Damn it, I'm Jiraiya, not Danzo. You think you can fool me? No way!

"Hehe, I am your teacher, it is my duty to teach you. Remember to pay the tuition for this lesson after you finish watching the light screen."

"Old man, you're getting more and more shameless as you get older."

"Haha, I'll take that as a compliment. And even if you're complimenting me, don't even think about getting away with not paying the tuition."

Jiraiya: "."

[Hi hi hi~, dear viewers, I'm new UP A-Tian.]

Today, we'll continue our review of the members of the Akatsuki organization.

To expedite the review process, this episode, like the previous one, will review two individuals at a time.

[First, in the first half, we'll focus on Deidara, the legendary ninja known as the "demolition assembly line worker," who's known for his impulsive self-destruction.]

"Deidara? If I remember correctly, Orochimaru, you said he was a rogue ninja from Iwagakure, right?"

Once the light screen presentation began, Jiraiya lost interest in arguing with the Third Hokage.

"Yes, he is not only a rogue ninja from Iwagakure, but also Onoki's disciple."

"Tsk tsk, a disciple of the village's Kage, actually went and became a rogue ninja, how ridiculous. Hmm, Orochimaru, don't take it personally, I wasn't talking about you."

"Hehe, if you give me a little more funding, I won't blame you."

"You two really are worthy of being the old man's disciples; you're both obsessed with money."

"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not."

".Give!"

"If you had just agreed earlier, there wouldn't have been any problem. What a waste of my breath."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and agreed to increase Orochimaru's funding.

However, he was also cautious, only mentioning increased funding but not how much.

When the time comes, we'll symbolically give Orochimaru an extra 10,000 taels of funding. Surely he won't come and cut us down for something so trivial?

Considering Orochimaru's rather treacherous nature, Jiraiya felt it was safer to increase the amount from 10,000 ryo to 100,000 ryo.

That's all he has to say.

The village's money is all planned out, and this time, the funds allocated to Orochimaru were drawn from his personal savings.

If too much is given, even the landlord's family won't have any surplus grain.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions, Jiraiya looked at Deidara on the screen and muttered to himself, "If Deidara really is Onoki's disciple, then this might be something we can work out."
