Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously:

"I don't want to arrange it this way, but this is the best tactic I can think of! From what I know about Orochimaru, he seems to like the Sharingan very much. If you take the lead, you will definitely be able to lure him out..."

"Xia Yu, I know you have emotions, but this is all for the stability of the village... Just imagine, if Orochimaru does something to the women in the village again in the future, and it happens to make all your wives and concubines pregnant, is that really a good thing...?"

"This is not what I want to see, and I believe you don't want to see it either..."

"The arduous task of getting rid of Orochimaru is imminent! Xia Yu, I believe you will not care about your sacrifice..."

"Remember, you are not a bait, you will always be a part of Konoha, my apprentices Jiraiya and Tsunade will definitely protect you..."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's sanctimonious and emotional appearance, Xia Yu sneered.

"This old man is really good at talking..."

"If he knew that Orochimaru was pregnant with my child, I wonder what his expression would be?"

"If he knew that I was the one who made those women pregnant... hehe..."

"That expression will definitely be very interesting..."

Xia Yu thought to himself, "It's almost time, it's almost time... Sarutobi Hiruzen, before I kill you, I will definitely let you experience the feeling of being deserted by everyone..."

After a brief silence...

"Got it! Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. This is a very important matter. I will prepare it right away."

"Yeah! Very good..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied, and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits. He stood up and gently patted Xia Yu's shoulder:

"Xia Yu, the future of the village depends on you! If the plan to wipe out Orochimaru's forces can be successfully completed this time, I will inform the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and let you be my successor! I am old and I don't have many years left. I really have high hopes for you..."

I started drawing big cakes again...

Xia Yu couldn't help but sneer in his heart:

Waiting for you to die?

Haha, who doesn’t know that you are the best at saving your life?

In the battle of the Ninja World, you relied on the cover of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and went directly back to the village to save your life... In this battle, four Kages from the five major countries died.

During the Second Ninja War, the Kages of other villages were leading their ninjas to fight, but you sent your three disciples to the Hidden Rain Village to deal with Hanzo, and sent Hatake Sakumo to the Kingdom of Wind to deal with the Hidden Sand Village, while you stayed safely in the village...

In the Third Ninja World War, the Third Raikage fought alone against the 10,000 ninjas of Iwagakure for three days and three nights to protect the younger generation, and died of exhaustion...

However, you sent a large number of young ninjas to the battlefield under the pretext of insufficient manpower. Obito "died" in the battle of Kannabi Bridge, and Might Guy fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone in the Hidden Mist battlefield to protect the young Might Guy, but he died in the end...

In these spectacular wars in the Ninja World, each ninja made a name for himself, and even if they lost their lives, they were still talked about as legends by later generations. Only you... didn't leave any outstanding achievements.

I haven't even seen you on the battlefield...

Just stay in the village...

ridiculous!

It’s okay to stay in the village!

But you can't keep up with what's happening in the village!

On the night of the Nine-Tails, while you were dithering in putting on your battle uniform, your apprentice, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, had already started beating up Obito and then the Nine-Tails.

After finally arriving, you just sit there as a spectator who can't even shout "Come on" for half the time.

Finally, when everything was over, he said: "Don't worry, Minato, Kushina, I will take good care of your children..."

Pooh!

Fortunately, Orochimaru came up with a plan to collapse Konoha in the later period, which gave you a highlight.

The only one...

A person who survived from the First World War to the late period, and was also the shadow of the strongest ninja village, actually only left behind one memorable battle.

That’s ridiculous…

call…

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. These past memories made him resent the third generation more and more.

Killing him ten thousand times wouldn't be enough.

It is difficult to relieve hatred without destroying the heart!

"Hokage-sama, I will go downstairs to prepare..."

"Well, go ahead, and be sure to come back safely. I'll be waiting for your good news, Xia Yu~"

"I will…"

Xia Yu turned around and walked out the door.

"Hehe..." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and took a deep puff:

"My plan is flawless... After this battle, I will no longer pose a threat!"

……

At the same time, at the Ninja School.

It's time to go home from school.

The 8-year-old Naruto ran out of the school gate excitedly and shouted to his friends in front of him: "Hey! Let's go together. It's on the same way."

When the friends saw that it was Naruto, they quickly hid aside and cursed: "Stay away from me, my mother won't let me play with you..."

"..." Hearing this, little Naruto stopped where he was, feeling a little lost.

But it was only for a moment, and the smile appeared on his face again.

Naruto has gotten used to other people's attitude towards him.

He knew how to deal with such cold eyes and disdainful remarks.

That is to make yourself happy, at least on the surface...

"Hey, you idiots! I wanted to treat you to ramen, but since you didn't seize the opportunity, don't blame me~"

Naruto's cheerfulness remains the same.

A man with white hair was standing behind little Naruto, looking at him with a smile.

"This kid has really grown up..."

Jiraiya followed little Naruto along the way.

Everyone around him treated little Naruto as if he were the plague, and even spoke ill of him from time to time. Jiraiya saw all of this.

Although he was very angry, he felt more helpless.

Because the villagers really can’t be blamed for this.

After all, they don’t understand and don’t know the truth.

They only knew that Naruto was a natural disaster fox, and that countless families were destroyed on the night of the Nine-Tails, but they didn't know that the father of this monster was actually the hero of the village.

The Third Generation did not intend to let others know about this in order to prevent people from outside the village from coveting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Jiraiya also approved of this decision.

He understood that this was to protect Naruto.

"Little boy, I'm really happy to see that you can be so strong!"

Jiraiya was very grateful in his heart. It seemed that just as his master said, he was really taking good care of Naruto.

But until he saw what happened afterwards, Jiraiya's heart wavered...

Little Naruto returned home alone with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the house, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the whole house.

Looking at the empty house, little Naruto could no longer control himself. Without even changing his shoes, he threw himself on the bed, hugging the pillow and crying.

Jiraiya, who was hiding outside the window, then realized that everything that had just happened was just a disguise.

Jiraiya felt very sad looking at little Naruto crying alone with no one to comfort him.

A child this young has to endure so much alone, and still pretend to be happy in front of outsiders...

"Ugh……"

Jiraiya sighed deeply...

Perhaps he was tired of crying, so little Naruto wiped his eyes, got up from the bed, took out a box of ramen, and waited quietly for the water in the kettle to boil...

Jiraiya then noticed that on the dining table, there were boxes of empty instant ramen noodles...

"Does this kid always eat this?"

Jiraiya couldn't take it anymore.

"Zi~"

The window was opened by Jiraiya from the outside.

"Hey! Kid, come with me, I'll treat you to real ramen! Very nutritious, with barbecued pork~"

Perhaps because he was used to being lonely, the sudden voice of a stranger in the house scared little Naruto so much that he almost fell off his chair.

"You, who are you?"

……

Chapter 75 Rare Companionship

"Want to know who I am? Hahaha, good question!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath, waved his hands in an exaggerated pose like a joke, and introduced himself loudly:

"I am the Toad Spirit Immortal Taoist of Myōboku Mountain, commonly known as the Toad Immortal. Come up! Hehehehehe..."

Little Naruto was stunned: "Sen...Senren? You?"

This guy is probably a fool...

This was the first time that young Naruto had seen someone more flamboyant than himself.

"That's right! I am the immortal! Little boy, don't eat this kind of thing, I will take you to eat something delicious!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Ichiraku Ramen! Eat as much as you want, the kind that guarantees you'll be full!"

Hearing the words "Ichiraku Ramen", Naruto's eyes suddenly turned into hearts: "You said it! Don't regret it!"

"Hehe, if I regret what I said to a little devil, then I am not worthy of being an immortal. Turn off the kettle and let's go!"

Jiraiya was very confident. It was obvious that he didn't know how much Naruto ate, nor how much of a blow to his wallet Naruto would cause in the near future...

……

Half an hour later, at Ichiraku Ramen.

Little Naruto sat on the chair and flashed his face like crazy,

"Hoo! Uncle, another bowl!"

This is already the tenth bowl...

Judging from the situation, little Naruto has no intention of stopping and is going to eat all day.

Jiraiya turned sideways, looked at the wallet in his pocket, then looked at the time, his face full of worry. He didn't intend to waste all his energy and money here.

"Eh? Why aren't you eating?"

"Ahem..." Jiraiya coughed awkwardly: "I'm not as greedy as you are. Hey, kid, let's go after finishing this bowl of noodles, okay? I'll take you to the hot springs~ As men, we should be honest with each other, both in attitude and in body!"

"Slurp~" Little Naruto quickly took a big mouthful of noodles and responded while chewing: "Okay, okay, I haven't soaked in a hot spring yet!"

"Well! Then eat quickly..."

"Oh! But... I want another bowl, hehe~"

"Uh..." Jiraiya sighed helplessly: "Boss, give me another bowl."

......

After dinner, Jiraiya took the full-bellied little Naruto to the nearest hot spring restaurant.

"Woohoo~ It's so warm!" Little Naruto popped his little head out of the pool, his face flushed, and he was enjoying the soak.
