When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

Jiraiya was staring blankly at the memorial stone in the distance, lost in thought.

"Jiraiya, you're finally back..."

Suddenly, a slightly weathered voice came from behind.

Jiraiya's expression changed slightly!

I turned around and looked.

Then I saw an old woman with a wrinkled face and an old man with a face full of stories slowly walking up from downstairs.

"It's Elder Xiaochun and Elder Menyan, long time no see..."

Jiraiya greeted the two old acquaintances in a rather indifferent manner.

Mitokado Homura sized up Jiraiya and said in a deep voice, "You know about your teacher's matter, don't you?"

Jiraiya nodded somewhat guiltily: "Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura continued, "Sarutobi dedicated his life to Konoha, and this time, he died protecting the village. As his student, you should be proud!"

Jiraiya didn't say anything!

He merely frowned slightly!

I spent so many years in Konoha Village.

He was already used to such comforting words from the Konoha leadership.

But taking something for granted doesn't mean accepting it.

Death is death.

There's nothing to be proud of!

Jiraiya did not speak.

Mitokado Homura cleared his throat again and continued, "Jiraiya, Elder Koharu and I have decided that you will become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. What do you think?"

"Do they want me to take that position again?"

Faced with the enthusiastic invitations from Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, Jiraiya simply shrugged and said, "Two elders, you should know very well that I am not suitable for that position. If I wanted to be Hokage, I would have done it more than ten years ago!"

Upon hearing Jiraiya's reply...

Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance simultaneously!

From each other's eyes!

Both of them saw a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

Because Jiraiya is right.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was choosing his successor more than a decade ago.

The first person that comes to mind is not actually Minato Namikaze.

It was Jiraiya!

Because of both experience and ability.

Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, was considered slightly superior to Minato Namikaze at the time.

not to mention.

Jiraiya was also Minato Namikaze's teacher!

He was quite prestigious in the village!

But unfortunately.

Jiraiya decisively declined the position of Hokage at that time.

In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice!

That's why we settled for second best!

They chose the younger Minato Namikaze!

This matter was a secret within the village!

But this was no secret to the two elder advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

At this time.

Mitokado Homura cleared his throat again and said in a deep voice, "The turmoil caused by Orochimaru has led to Sunagakure's complete surrender to us!"

"But even so, the strength of our Konoha Village has already declined terribly, and the village cannot remain leaderless for long!"

"The selection of the Fifth Hokage must be decided as soon as possible!"

"And right now, among all the ninjas in the village, only you, Jiraiya, are capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility!"

Mitokado Yan had just finished speaking.

Koharu Tsurugi immediately chimed in, "Elder Menyan is right. In order to cope with the possible crisis that may come, the village must regroup as soon as possible!"

"We have gathered some ninja leaders from various units and formed a committee capable of handling emergencies!"

"And we've released the news of your return to Konoha, Jiraiya. I believe our neighboring country, which is eyeing us covetously, won't make any moves in the short term."

"But before that, the first thing we need to do is find a trustworthy and strong leader."

"Jiraiya, Konoha is in dire straits, and as the disciple of the former Third Hokage and one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, you bear the responsibility for this!"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for Konoha, you would have died in the war long ago!"

have to say.

As the talk-no-jutsu expert among Konoha's high-ranking officials!

Mitokado Enoki and Utatane Koharu's arguments were indeed sharp and frightening.

They pressed down on him with that big hat!

Jiraiya suddenly felt like a sinner who had to atone for his sins throughout the ages.

but.

As a seasoned veteran who has been in the ninja world for many years.

In addition, he knew these two old men in front of him very well.

Jiraiya didn't fall for the trap on the spot!

He agreed to sit in the seat of the Fifth Hokage.

He then changed the subject, smiling as he replied, "Elder Menyan, Elder Koharu, I'm not the only disciple of Sarutobi-sensei. Aside from Orochimaru, isn't there another one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

Koharu Utatane frowned slightly and asked, "Are you talking about Tsunade?"

Jiraiya nodded: "That's right, I am a cynical person. Compared to me, isn't Tsunade more suitable for that position?"

Mitokado Homura thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, you're right. Tsunade is indeed more suitable for that position than you. But the problem is, she's not in the village. We can't possibly spend a lot of time searching for her all over the world, can we?"

Jiraiya shrugged and said, "I just received news that Tsunade is currently in the Land of Fire. I'll go find her. That should be fine, right?"

Mitokado Yan and Utatane Koharu pondered for a moment.

After a while.

Mitokado Homura said, "We will discuss your suggestion with the Daimyo, but... in order to find Tsunade as soon as possible, we have decided to send three Anbu members to assist you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately laughed: "Don't worry, I won't run away, and those ANBU you sent can't monitor me!"

At this point, Jiraiya suddenly remembered something.

So, he added, "But I want to bring someone with me on this journey..."

Mitokado Homura's gaze sharpened slightly: "Who?"

Jiraiya said, "Minato's son, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that you often talk about..."

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions on Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu's faces froze instantly.

Judging from Jiraiya's tone!

It wasn't hard for them to notice.

Jiraiya seems to care a lot about what Naruto Uzumaki has been through over the years!

But it’s no wonder.

After all, Naruto Uzumaki is Minato Namikaze's only son.

And as Minato Namikaze's mentor.

Naruto Uzumaki has suffered a lot of criticism and discrimination in the village over the years.

Jiraiya must have known this as well.

I reckon they're going back to Konoha this time!

He probably just wanted to come and see his student's child!

"Don't worry, I know how important Naruto is to the village, I won't kidnap him!"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were standing there, looking dazed!

Jiraiya mistakenly thought they were worried that he would kidnap Naruto!

So he quickly offered an explanation.

As for what Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were worried about!

Jiraiya hadn't actually thought about it at all.

Because he thinks!

Naruto Uzumaki is able to grow stronger in adversity!

Perhaps it's not such a bad thing.

After all, he and Minato Namikaze!

They all grew up in adversity!

Harsh environments can sometimes indeed ruin a person.

But the same thing.

It can sometimes make a person!

"We trust you completely, so we'll leave the search for Tsunade to you, Jiraiya!"

Because of the guilt he felt towards Jiraiya.

After saying that, Mitokado Homura prepared to leave with Utatane Koharu.

Who would have thought that this would happen?

A member of the Anbu wearing an animal mask suddenly appeared in front of the two of them!

"Elder Menyan, Elder Koharu, Lady Tsunade... she's back..."

The ANBU ninja knelt on one knee and reported.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Jiraiya immediately appeared in front of the ANBU member, asking with a surprised expression, "Are you serious? Are you sure it's Tsunade who's back?"

At this moment, Jiraiya was somewhat agitated.

obviously.

Tsunade's voluntary return!

He was also quite shocked.
