Naruto: The Strongest Force

There should be something important to report at this time.

Sandai said: "Come in."

An ANBU came in and reported: "Sandaime-sama, Jiraiya-sama is back."

Sandai was shocked: "Jiraiya is back? Where is he?"

If it were Jiraiya, he should be able to hold it down.

When Jiraiya was young, his abilities were not very good and he was the stupidest among his three apprentices.

But since he was inadvertently summoned to Mount Miaomu, Jiraiya has found his own path.

His strength is increasing day by day. If he wasn't too lazy, this strength would be more than enough to become Hokage.

The Anbu's scalp felt numb under the Third Generation's burning gaze: "Jiraiya-sama is not far from Konoha. He will arrive in about ten minutes."

Sandai kept saying, “Okay, okay, after he enters the village, tell him to come see me right away.”

"Yes!"

The ANBU quickly backed out.

As soon as the door closed, there were only four people left in the room.

The third generation seemed to have some confidence because of Jiraiya's return: "With Jiraiya, Uchiha shouldn't be too anxious to jump over the wall."

When Danzo saw Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, he knew that he was about to back down again.

"Hiruzhan! Uchiha is different now. Do you expect Jiraiya to always be in the village?"

Sandai paced back and forth: "At least get over the current difficulty first."

Danzo's heart sank. Uchiha was now powerful, and the last three generations had become very alienated from him. Maybe this was the last chance.

Danzo said a little annoyed: "What if Itachi and Shisui don't leave?"

"I'll let Jiraiya come forward."

The third generation had other thoughts running through his mind.

Huh, if the village and Uchiha fight, can they count on you to help?

Jiraiya was still a little less alone.

Seeing that the Third Hokage had made up his mind, Danzo snorted coldly.

Just look for another chance.

"However, we can still arrange for Natsuki's previous request. After all, the Uchiha are still part of our Konoha."

The third Hokage's next words made Danzo furious.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! Are you going to push me out!?"

Danzo finally climbed back to being an honorary elder.

Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage, who was close to him in the past, gradually became wary of him and now wanted to push him out as a scapegoat.

Danzo has discovered that the Third Hokage is now trying to suppress him.

Now he is brought out to take the blame, but the situation is stronger than the person, and Danzo dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

The Third Hokage said: "Weren't you the one who proposed the arrangement back then?"

"You...you guys!" This matter was proposed by Danzo, but the matter was unanimously agreed upon by the four of them at the time.

"I don't agree!" Danzo's eyes were full of anger!

The Third Hokage was also annoyed at this time: "How long has it been, do you still care about this reputation!?"

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"That's enough! I am the Hokage!" The third Hokage slapped the table.

"What's going on? The old man is so angry." This is a person who came in through the window.

It was Jiraiya.

Danzo glanced at Jiraiya.

It's all you. It's not good to come back any time. Come back now.

He snorted heavily and walked away with an angry face.

"What happened?" Jiraiya scratched his head. Did Danzo take gunpowder?

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan saw that nothing happened to them, so they followed them out.

The third generation was a little angry at first, but when he saw Jiraiya, he felt much better.

Jiraiya's usual carefree appearance is unreliable.

But it is really reliable at critical moments.

A smile appeared on the third generation Hokage's face: "You came back in time. If you don't come back this time, Konoha will be in danger."

Jiraiya's face also became serious: "Is it possible that Uchiha Natsuki will succeed the clan leader?"

Although he didn't collect much information along the way, Uchiha's actions were so great that even many civilians knew about them.

Jiraiya obviously knew it too.

The Third Hokage nodded: "You don't know something, Otoyin Village..."

The third generation showed several official letters to Jiraiya, and several people from the other ninja villages came, so there was no problem with this.

But only in Otogakure Village, Otokage will come and bring back more than a hundred Uchiha people.

There is Shisui inside, plus Itachi who secretly returned to the village before, and now Natsuki, Fugaku of the clan, there are already four Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even if Jiraiya had a fight with Natsuki back then, who could know what Natsuki's mentality is now.

Chapter 153 Reserves

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"The sound and shadow? Where did the sound and shadow come from in the Hidden Sound Village? They didn't have the sound and shadow there before when I went there." Jiraiya asked curiously.

The third generation took a puff of cigarette: "The inauguration ceremony was held recently. It is the only village outside the five great ninja villages that publicly claims to have a shadow."

Jiraiya nodded, thinking there was nothing strange about it.

"I went there before..."

Jiraiya told the Third Hokage everything about the prosperity of Otogakure Village and everything he saw and heard.

"The Otogakure Village is developing very rapidly. It has almost monopolized all the tasks of several nearby small countries. With the addition of Uchiha's catering, Otogakure Village is no longer a small village."

"I suspect that Otogakure is a puppet supported by Uchiha."

Sandai guessed.

Jiraiya laughed: "Old man, instead of guessing, why not just ask Orochimaru?"

Sandai's expression changed.

Then he asked Jiraiya seriously: "Jiraiya, let me ask you now, do you want to be Hokage? Answer me seriously."

For the third generation, if Jiraiya is willing to take over as Hokage, he will definitely not be so tired. Needless to say, Jiraiya's loyalty to the village.

He is his apprentice and the master of the fourth generation Namikaze Minato. His strength is also top notch.

Except that people have no integrity.

Although there is no guarantee that Uchiha can be contained, the safety of Konoha should be guaranteed.

"Me?" Jiraiya was startled at first, and then saw that the Third Hokage's face looked serious and it didn't look like he was joking.

He also slowly frowned and started thinking.

He paced back and forth a few times and glanced at the pile of documents on his desk.

Pictures of drinking and having fun flashed through his mind, and pictures of him sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.

It flashed back to Namikaze Minato's sacrifice for the village.

Jiraiya sighed: "Sorry, old man."

Although he had expected it, the Third Hokage still felt uncomfortable hearing Jiraiya's positive rejection.

The power of the shadow of one village in Konoha is confusing. At that time, I was also ambitious and wanted to do something and develop Konoha to the strongest level.

Later I discovered that I had done many things wrong.

In the end, I found out that this Hokage was really tired.

I knew earlier...

Many images flashed through Sandai's mind, including Nawaki, Kato Dan, Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, Orochimaru...

The final scene freezes on the image of Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage's expression no longer hesitated.

He said directly: "I have prepared what Orochimaru wants. How can I send it to him? I want to see him."

Jiraiya seemed to have guessed what the Third Hokage was thinking: "Old man, have you thought about it? Maybe Tsunade is good too."

The Third Hokage shook his head, Jiraiya did not fully understand what he meant.

Although he wanted to recall Orochimaru, he was preparing to be the fifth generation Hokage.

But now, it is necessary to have more vitality as a reserve to fight against Uchiha.

After all, a Jiraiya is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?

Orochimaru is back, and the Sandaime Hokage can feel more at ease.

As for Tsunade, Jiraiya said.

Tsunade was originally the most suitable candidate to be Hokage.

Just look at the tag on her body and you will know that she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, unlike Naruto, the secretive son of the Fourth Hokage.

Tsunade is "the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the founder of Konoha Village", and this matter is completely open to the public.

This also means that she is the purest "Konoha blood". In terms of Hongae Masaru, you can't find anyone better than her if you turn over the entire Konoha.

He is also one of the three ninjas and the disciple of the Third Hokage.

A well-known medical ninja throughout the ninja world, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu can be said to be the best in the world.

If Tsunade succeeded to the throne of Hokage, how many lives could her medical ninjutsu have saved during wartime.

It's a pity that in a single thought, she acquiesced to Danzo's actions, causing Tsunade to break down and run away from Konoha. I haven't been back for many years.

The third Hokage often regretted why he indulged Danzo in the first place, or maybe he was greedy for the little power in his hands.

At the beginning, Konoha's White Fang was powerful and full of honors, but White Fang was the representative of the family faction.

Although the Hatake family has a small number of members, its appeal is not small.

If White Fang were to take the position of Hokage, he would definitely support the families that have a good relationship with them.

Three generations of “de-familialization” will lead to failure.

Therefore, when White Fang's mission failed, the Third Generation acquiesced to Danzo's public opinion offensive.

The purpose was to dampen White Fang's energy and give White Fang a blow.

Unexpectedly, White Fang had such a strong sense of honor that he committed suicide directly.

The Third Hokage was unexpected.

If it weren't for the tacit consent of the third generation, how could the success or failure of a mission cause uproar in the village?

How could Danzo do such a thing without the third generation's acquiescence.

The third generation also regretted it, but fortunately, another Namikaze Minato appeared in Konoha later.

Namikaze Minato was an orphan. He was neither born into a famous family nor had any prominent background. He relied on his own strength to get there.

And he was married to Uzumaki Kushina.
