Chapter 46 The Fifth Hokage: Jiraiya (Please continue reading)

The toad sage of Mount Myōboku was known to Tobirama Senju.

During the years when the Senju and Uchiha clans were fighting, Mount Myōboku sent toads to find the Hashirama brothers, wanting them to write their names on the summoning scroll of Mount Myōboku.

Faced with toads that suddenly appeared at his door, Tobirama wouldn't allow them to become his and his older brother's summoning beasts before figuring out their background.

So during the investigation, he learned some things about the Great Toad Sage.

We now know that this toad has the ability to predict the future.

To be honest, Tobirama was quite averse to abilities like divination, fate, and prophecy at that time.

In any case, fate had already arranged everything, and the prophecy had accurately predicted their success.

So, do they still need to work hard?

I might as well just lie down.

However, Tobirama Senju was not like that. He did not believe in any prophecies; he only believed that human will could overcome fate.

Seeing Jiraiya's unwavering belief in the giant toad, Tobirama was quite displeased.

"Jiraiya, do you want to become a rogue ninja?"

"What? Second Generation Lord, you must be joking."

Clearly, Tobirama's words startled Jiraiya.

Not only Jiraiya, but even the Third Hokage spoke up, saying, "Sensei, are you mistaken? How could Jiraiya possibly want to become a rogue ninja?"

Tobirama looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Didn't Jiraiya often not return to the village? Or carry out village missions?"

The Third Hokage paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded with difficulty and replied, "That's how it is."

"A ninja who rarely returns to the village and doesn't carry out village missions, do you dare say that such a person isn't a rogue ninja?"

Looking at the powerful Tobirama, neither the Third Hokage nor Jiraiya could say anything.

If strictly following the village rules, Jiraiya's actions could indeed be considered those of a rogue ninja.

"Yes, yes, Jiraiya can definitely be considered a rogue ninja."

Orochimaru, lying on the ground, burst out laughing when he saw Jiraiya's pained expression.

Following the principle of "the more the merrier," Orochimaru confirmed Tobirama's statement.

"Orochimaru, shut up!"

Jiraiya was already annoyed, and Orochimaru was taking the opportunity to make things worse. At this moment, he wished he could slap Orochimaru twice to teach him what he could and couldn't say.

"Second Hokage, why don't we bring Tsunade back to be the Fifth Hokage? She's more suitable than me."

"Tsunade?"

Seeing Tobirama looking thoughtful, Jiraiya pressed on, saying, "Yes, whether you look at her background, strength, or personality, she is the most suitable one."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Tobirama also felt that Tsunade was a good candidate.

He knew his granddaughter well; she wouldn't leave the village unless something particularly disappointing happened.

Getting her back as Hokage is going to be incredibly difficult.

Furthermore, he also knew that his granddaughter shared the same hobby as his older brother.

"I won't ask how difficult it will be to bring Tsunade back. I just want to ask one thing: are you prepared for her to send the village away?"

That's right, Tsunade's hobby is gambling, and she loses every single time. Apart from winning against her older brother Hashirama Senju when they were children, he has never seen Tsunade win again.

After thinking about it, Tobirama decided it was best not to take such a big risk.

"Monkey, you don't want the village to fall to Tsunade either, do you?"

"."

"It's decided then. Jiraiya will become the Fifth Hokage."

"That Tsunade"

"I'm not considering her anymore."

Having made his decision, Tobirama looked at Jiraiya again and said sternly, "If you dare to run away, I'll have the monkey announce that you've become a Konoha rogue ninja. Didn't you want to find some kind of chosen one outside? Then you might as well not come back to the village."

"But Second Generation Lord, the Chosen One is truly very important."

"Important my ass."

Tobirama showed no mercy to Jiraiya, angrily rebuking him: "What right does that giant toad have to ask the ninjas of Konoha to help him find some chosen one? I ask you, which is more important, that elusive chosen one, or the village?"

"this"

Jiraiya was also in a difficult position.

Because he felt that the Great Toad Sage couldn't possibly lie to him.

It says this chosen one will bring about change in the ninja world, and it will surely be just as it says.

As for Jiraiya, he needs to find this person as soon as possible and guide him to grow in a positive direction.

Compared to the safety of the entire ninja world, the village's affairs naturally had to be put aside.

Of course, he wouldn't dare say that in front of the Second Hokage, or he would definitely get a beating.

"Trust me, Jiraiya. Instead of searching aimlessly like this, why don't you just stay in the village? Maybe the chosen one you're looking for will just appear on his own."

"How is that possible?"

Jiraiya didn't really believe Tobirama's words either.

He had been searching for the chosen one for so many years without success, how could he suddenly appear out of nowhere?

"You can ask your teacher for details."

After saying that, Tobirama turned to look at the Third Hokage and continued, "You should understand what I mean."

The Third Hokage nodded. "I understand."

Hearing their conversation, Orochimaru, who was lying on the ground, suddenly had an idea.

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

He remembered the light screen that Tobirama had just used.

Could this light screen not only allow them to appear here, but also help them find people?

Orochimaru was already quite interested in this so-called light screen.

If he hadn't been sealed and unable to move, he would have been twirling his tongue around.

Just then, a soft light emanated from Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Kagami.

Tobirama knew that their time had come.

"Alright, we should head back now."

"Remember this, monkey. If Jiraiya dares to run away, make him a rogue ninja."

"For the sake of the village, this is not the time to be soft-hearted."

After saying this, Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Kagami disappeared from the sight of the Third Hokage and the others.

"Old man, what exactly is going on?"

With Tobirama gone, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more casual.

"I will tell you after you officially become the Fifth Hokage."

".All right."

The die was cast, and Jiraiya had no choice but to agree.

He knew the Third Hokage well; if he dared to run away and resign as the Fifth Hokage, the old man would really dare to list him as a rogue ninja.

With the Second Hokage backing him up, he's really capable of doing it.

"And what about Orochimaru? What are you going to do with him?"

Orochimaru.

With a complicated expression, the Third Hokage glanced at Orochimaru, sighed, and said, "Let's keep him in prison for now."

Orochimaru was completely unconcerned about the punishment he was about to receive.

With that old man and that idiot Jiraiya around, he's not going to die no matter what.

Even if he dies, he has a backup plan to be resurrected.

"Orochimaru, you're not going to run away, are you?"

All three present knew that the village prison could not contain Orochimaru.

"Don't worry, I won't run away."

Just kidding, he wouldn't run away until he figured out what the light screen was.

"Alright, Jiraiya, take Orochimaru and these guys to prison."

"And you, old man?"

"Me? Of course I'm going home to rest and recover."

"Okay, then you should go back and rest first."

Neither of them was worried about the current battle situation, because the Konoha ninjas had been suppressing the Sound Ninjas and Sand Ninjas.

I believe that this war will be completely over in a little while.

And Jiraiya's Hokage career is about to begin.

Jiraiya: I really don't want to be Hokage!
