The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Yamato thought he had no qualifications. Kakashi hadn't even become Hokage yet, so how could he become one? He replied in panic, "Hokage-sama, I've never thought about it."

"Hey, a ninja who doesn't want to be Hokage is not a good ninja. If everyone has the will of fire like you and Kakashi, Konoha will definitely be stronger. The leaves will dance, and the fire will continue to burn."

How can I not want to repay such a wise ruler?

After Yamato left, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and wrote and drew on the draft book on the table with a pen, while thinking about his next move.

Orochimaru's hope should have vanished by now. After leaving him alone for a few days, it would be time to go meet him.

After this incident, let Jiraiya go and find Tsunade. There have been too many letters of complaint sent to the women's bathhouse recently.

Next is Hyuga. Although it seems a bit harsh to have a talk with him right after paying the tribute, Hiashi still has some Will of Fire and will surely understand my good intentions.

Ding.

The working hours are over.

I left a message to my friend 'Ace', saying that I would send someone over soon and asked him to prepare the treasure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat comfortably on the Hokage chair, entered the subspace, and opened the arena - starting lineup: Impure World Reincarnation Third Hokage, middle position: Impure World Reincarnation First Hokage, guaranteed position: Tendo Super.

Such a fun game, once the ninja world's technology advances, everyone must be able to play it. Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen entered the ranking mode.

Chapter 19 The frog in the well croaks

"Could it be... that the child of destiny is an old man?"

Jiraiya was amused by his own absurd idea. He stood in the Hokage's office, watching the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen energetically reviewing documents while methodically issuing instructions to the waiting Anbu.

Things like "The quality of the ninja school project must be strictly controlled", "Assassination mission? We, Konoha, are a righteous ninja village and will not accept such dirty work", "How can Konoha's security level be compared with other wild-style villages?", "Let the secretariat revise the speech for the opening ceremony", "Oonoki's letter of questioning? Just treat it as bullshit", "The compensation from the Sand Village is not enough, fight it back, playing the victim is useless, let Chiyo redraft it, Gaara must be sent here to learn the Will of Fire"...

In the past, advisors Mitokado En and Utane Koharu were often seen in the Hokage's office, but now they have disappeared. When asked about it, the answer they received was, "They can no longer keep up with the young Sarutobi Hiruzen."

He is truly a leader who can revive the country.

"Jiraiya, you're here." Sensei Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke after finishing the documents in his hand. "I called you here to find Tsunade."

Jiraiya had already made some guesses and said, "Old man, Tsunade may not be willing to come back."

Originally, Jiraiya went to find Tsunade because, firstly, he did not want to be Hokage, and secondly, Sarutobi Hiruzen had passed away, leaving Konoha leaderless. He was confident that he could persuade Tsunade to come back and take charge of the situation.

Konoha is now thriving, and it looks like Sarutobi Hiruzen can still rule for a long time. In this situation, Tsunade might still escape.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Konoha's upcoming "Academy City Cultural Victory" plan was very much to Jiraiya's liking, he would have already dealt with Orochimaru and continued to be his wandering writer.

Jiraiya is also an educator in the ninja world.

The Third Hokage took a drag from his pipe and slowly exhaled a circle of smoke. "You are the only one who has the chance to persuade her. The village has been under great pressure recently. Kumogakure and Iwagakure have been probing the border and are very ambitious. The village needs more high-end combat power to take charge."

"Old man, given your current state, you may not be afraid of them." Jiraiya said with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"In their impression, I have already aged. Now, perhaps I am just bluffing." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"I'm not afraid of war right now, but I'm worried that once a war breaks out, my reform plan might be affected. If we can deter Ōnoki and Ai, that would be the best. Konoha now has a wider space and cannot easily fall into the quagmire of war."

Jiraiya nodded in understanding, suddenly stepped forward, rested his hands on the desk, and stared at his teacher intently: "Then what's going on with your current condition, old man? Is it really the same as what Orochimaru said?"

Jiraiya finally asked, now with an extremely serious tone. If he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he might just turn around and leave.

"Of course not."

These words touched the heart of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Walking in the night in brocade clothes, how helpless he felt.

The young Sarutobi Hiruzen had a personality similar to Jiraiya, lustful and showing off. He felt very uncomfortable keeping such a big secret in his heart and having no chance to show it off.

It’s okay to reveal a little bit of your true nature in front of your closest disciples.

As for such a huge secret that needs to be kept secret from prying eyes? I am still the Hokage, the leader of the most violent group in the ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled, feeling quite proud: "Jiraiya, your teacher, I might really be the child of destiny."

Sarutobi Hiruzen told the information about the other world, and said that his gold medal undercover agent Uchiha Itachi would carry out his first mission in the other world.

The sky of Konoha is no longer confined to the narrow world of ninja.

Also, Jiraiya, I no longer like your "Intimate Paradise"! I also have a broader world, so why should you be compared with all those intimate teachers?

Jiraiya listened with a complicated expression, occasionally interrupting to ask questions... At the end of the conversation, Jiraiya could no longer bear it: "Impossible, my great writer Jiraiya's Intimate Paradise is widely praised!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sneered: "A frog in the well, croaking."

……

The window next to the bed was open, and the pure white curtains swayed in the wind.

This is a double ward. There is a bouquet of flowers on the cabinet between the two beds, and a newspaper next to the bouquet. It is obvious that someone has come to visit.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Kakashi in the bed next to him and couldn't help but said, "Kakashi, you are not the weakest among the Jonin."

Kakashi flipped through the pages of Intimate Paradise, his face slightly reddened. He didn't know if it was from reading or from Sasuke's words. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You can't say that. I was just careless for a moment."

"But we are the only two in the hospital." Uchiha Sasuke pointed to the newspaper on the cabinet. Uchiha Sasuke already knew the news that Itachi and Kisame were defeated, and Kisame was captured alive.

"After we were unconscious, Mr. Brow and Asuma won. It's a pity that the bastard Itachi escaped. Well, I should take revenge myself."

Kakashi, who had already guessed what would happen next, didn't care. He turned to the next page of the masterpiece and said casually, "Gai is already very strong. He can be said to be the strongest in Konoha. I can ask Kai to take you to train."

The strongest in Konoha... take me to train... Sasuke was a little moved for a moment.

However, he still found it difficult to accept the painting style of Master Kai and Xiao Li, and was caught in a dilemma.

"Teacher Kakashi, Sasuke! We are here to see you!" The reckless Uzumaki Naruto pushed open the door of the ward, and Sakura came with him.

"Kakashi-sensei." Sakura placed the flowers next to Sasuke. "Sasuke, are you okay?"

"No big deal."

"It's too outrageous to bring instant noodles to visit a patient. Sakura is much more sensible." Kakashi couldn't help but complain when he saw the instant noodles Naruto put on the cabinet.

"This is a limited edition! But you won't be able to see my handsome self for a while."

Facing Kakashi's gaze, Naruto supported his forehead protector and chuckled, "Grandpa Sandai specially assigned an S-rank mission to me and Teacher Jiraiya. We will be leaving soon."

An S-rank mission...Sasuke started to feel envious again.

"What? Wouldn't that mean Team 7 will be separated?" Sakura muttered unhappily. "Hokage-sama has arranged for a jonin with a particularly scary look to temporarily replace Kakashi."

"Is that Yamato? Although his eyes are scary, he is actually a very gentle person." Kakashi nodded to show his understanding.

"But I see you're in pretty good shape, Kakashi. You don't look like you can't lead the class at all."

Kakashi continued reading his classic book. "Well, it's more serious than it looks. The genjutsu is mainly mental damage. I need to rest for a while."

"So that's how it is. I hope you recover soon, Mr. Kakashi." Sakura said with concern.

Then why are you still reading pornographic books!——Sakura roared in her heart.

What Kakashi didn't say was that when he was stimulated by Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō, he discovered that the 'gift from a good friend' was more than just three magatama, and he also needed some independent time to develop it.

"How strong is the new captain Yamato?" Sasuke frowned and asked.

"He used to be my subordinate, probably on par with me." Kakashi took the apple that Naruto had peeled and praised him. "Thank you, Naruto, for becoming more sensible."

"Kakashi you're not bragging again, are you?"

"Ah, how could it be?"

There was the sound of Kakashi chewing on an apple.

Sasuke groaned, speechless. Again, his former subordinates, and again, they were equally matched.

Sasuke was getting a little anxious and really wanted to become stronger.

Even with the green tights... Damn it, it still doesn't work. My hatred is still not enough...

……

Itachi Uchiha will have two days left to carry out the challenging mission of 'participating in the Battle of Marineford'.

He quietly placed the training experience, the Uchiha family secret scroll, and the summoning scroll in the Uchiha clan land. The next time Sasuke went back to look through the scroll, he would rediscover it.

Under the current circumstances, it is no longer necessary to rely on hatred to stimulate Sasuke's rapid growth. Forcing his growth is really a last resort. Now that Konoha is without Danzo, he can grow normally and healthily.

With Sasuke's talent, he could still grow into a very powerful person even without the Mangekyō. This is what Uchiha Itachi believed.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is just a shortcut to becoming a strong person, and it comes at a huge price.

Besides, which Hokage in history became a strong man by relying on the Sharingan? They could do it, so as long as Sasuke has time to grow normally, he can definitely do it too.

Uchiha is never weaker than others in his life!

When Uchiha Itachi was inspecting Sasuke's daily life, he saw Sasuke's written test paper from the Chunin Exam and couldn't help but sigh: My brother also has the potential to be a Hokage.

As a sinner, he naturally couldn't even dream of becoming the next Hokage, but Sasuke might be able to grow into the next Hokage.

If the fifth generation doesn't work, the sixth generation is not impossible.

'Let me, your sinful brother, pave the way for you.' Uchiha Itachi thought.

Chapter 20: Rizu, you now look like an old friend

A mysterious cave.

"Obito, Obito! Oh no, something's happened to Itachi and Kisame!"

The mysterious murderer in black and white shouted with a panicked expression.

The intelligence king Black Zetsu received the news that the 'Nan Zhu' combination had failed. It was really an ominous sign that they failed right after the meeting.

"What!" Uchiha Obito was suddenly startled.

Black Zetsu narrated the story slowly, and concluded, "The current situation is that Kisame has been detained by Konoha, and Itachi's whereabouts are unknown. Although a lot of the organization's intelligence has been exposed, Kisame knows even more in-depth information, and now it will all be exposed."

"I see." Obito fell into thought.

Black Zetsu said anxiously: "I think the matter is not that simple. There must be something wrong with that Uchiha Itachi. Maybe Kisame was plotted against. He must be the traitor who betrayed the organization."

"Hmm..." Obito was still thinking.

"Another point is that the traces of the battlefield at the scene are not that large. We all know that if the Mangekyō Sharingan is used at full power, the scene will be huge."

"Well, you do have a point."

After saying this, Obito fell silent and continued to think.

After waiting for a while, Black Zetsu couldn't help but said, "Obito, please speak."

“But I don’t think it’s entirely true.”

Obito's time for thought was over. "Itachi might be an undercover agent of Konoha, but it's unlikely that Itachi is an undercover agent of Konoha."

Black Zetsu's face.

"I mean, we've always known Itachi had two minds, but he wasn't the one who betrayed the information. The Konoha undercover agent must be someone else."

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that Obito had even given up on Kenji: "Are you talking about Konan?"

Obito nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. Just as you said, as Jiraiya's disciple, she has a motive, and she is the only one who has always been by Pein's side and has the same information as him. She is the only one who meets these two requirements."

"Without substantial evidence, Pain won't attack her. If you attack her, Pain will definitely turn against you." Black Zetsu made a positive guess.

"Let's wait for Payne's reaction. After all, he is the leader in name only."

Black Zetsu continued to ask, "What about Itachi?"

"Wait until you find his whereabouts before making a decision. The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be explained by common sense. Perhaps he paid a price to escape."

Take Izanagi for example, Obito thought.

……

The distant land of rain.

Inside the tower.

Black Zetsu has already sent the information to Pain.

Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts were not satisfactory, and Hoshigaki Kisame was thrown into prison.

"It's really a bad start."

Nagato was still sitting on the complicated mechanical life-support chair, his face turning even paler as he thought about this.

Konan stood aside, looking at him with a hint of worry: "How should we deal with this matter? Should we go rescue Kisame?"
