Konoha Sheriff

Chapter 113 Jōnin Conference

When Beichen arrived at the Senju Clan land, the sky had just darkened, and Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shizune were having dinner in the small courtyard.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner prepared by Zhiyin, Beichen couldn't help but feel greedy in his stomach, and he immediately started eating the meal shamelessly.

Jiraiya and Shizune naturally had no objections to this, but Tsunade's face looked a little weird.

The four of them gathered around a table and chatted while eating. At the dinner table, Beichen could always feel Tsunade's gaze falling on him.

It's not the kind of direct stare, but a glance, then quickly looking back, and then another glance after a while...

After being stared at like this for about two or three minutes, Beichen finally couldn't help it anymore:

"What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiraiya and Shizune, who had already noticed something strange at the table, looked at each other and didn't say anything. They just lowered their heads and picked up the rice silently. Tsunade had a cold face, a bit fierce. road:

"I just want to check on your recovery status. Tomorrow is the Jonin meeting. If you are absent, things will become very troublesome."

Beichen could clearly detect the change in Tsunade's attitude, but at this moment he couldn't understand why Tsunade had such a change, so he just thought she was a relative and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, the cells of the first generation have integrated well with my body. I had a spar with Shisui as a test before coming here. Not to mention daily life, even fighting with all my strength will not be affected in any way."

Looking at Beichen's high-spirited look.Tsunade then averted her gaze and said casually while chewing the rice in her mouth:

"As long as it's okay, it saves me wasting energy checking you up."

But in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and felt that the sumptuous meal in front of me became a bit difficult to swallow...

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jiraiya immediately changed the subject:

"Brother Beichen, it's best if you're okay. To be honest, without you, Tsunade and I really don't know how to handle the upcoming Jonin meeting.

In the past two days, I wanted to meet the old man and find out what he said.But he declined them all politely, probably because he was still angry because I revealed Naruto's identity..."

Having said this, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile bitterly. He could clearly feel that the old man was no longer the same person as the kind uncle who taught them carefully. This power struggle involving Konoha would probably be impossible. Peace ended.

"It's really rare. Regarding Naruto, he was wronged in the first place. Why does he have the right to be angry?"

Even in front of Jiraiya, Beichen did not give Sandai any face:

"Jiraiya, you have stayed outside the village for too long, and you don't know what kind of life Naruto lived in the past. If the third generation old man really regarded Naruto as the son of the fourth generation Hokage, he It is impossible for Naruto to experience such a miserable childhood."

This is because Naruto has the influence of Asura's chakra and he is an optimist. If it were anyone else who grew up in such a miserable environment, he would probably be like Gaara, not to mention becoming a complete anti-social personality. Secondary school for a long time.

Seeing Jiraiya's stern expression without replying, Beichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, the third generation was Jiraiya's teacher, and he was kind to him. He wanted Jiraiya to stand on the opposite side of the third generation just like Tsunade. Probably impossible.

Thinking of this, Beichen's tone softened slightly:

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass him too much at tomorrow's Jonin meeting. I understand that the road must be walked step by step.

As long as he is willing to consciously give up some of his rights, I won't make the situation too ugly. "

Seeing Jiraiya's grateful eyes when he looked at him, Beichen silently added in his heart:

But if this old guy still dares to seek death afterward, then don't blame him for not showing mercy to Jiraiya.

…………

The next morning.

Before it was completely bright, Beichen and his party set off towards the Hokage Building.

Because the jounin meeting is an important event that all jounin must participate in, Beichen met many familiar faces from the original work along the way.

I won’t go into detail about Inokacho and others, such as Kurenai and Asuma, who had met on the street before, Akai who I often met while patrolling, and Morino Ibi who showed off his talents in the original work. Xi and others met Beichen one by one along the way.

After entering the Hokage building and pushing open the door to the meeting site, there were more familiar faces in the room, and their attitudes towards the three of them were completely different.

The people from the families headed by Inolu Die were all smiling when they saw the three of them entering the door. First, the neutrals like Hinata and Rizu, or the staunch third-generation party members looked at Beichen and others with a somewhat stern look. hostility.

Among them, the gazes of Mito Kadoyan and Koharu Kazuo were the most direct, and anyone who was not blind could see the undisguised disgust.

But Beichen didn't care at all about this, and even sat down next to Mito Kadoyan with Jiraiya talking and laughing.

After Tsunade glanced at Beichen, she also sat next to Jiraiya, with Jiraiya just between them.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen wore the red and white royal robe and walked into the conference room with a slightly tired figure.

Although his body looked older and more rickety than before, no one present dared to ignore him. When he came in, they all sat upright. Even Beichen stopped talking to Jiraiya and showed some respect.

After Sandai's eyes glanced around everyone present, he did not linger on Beichen. Instead, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice:

"As for the theme of today's meeting, everyone present must have already made some guesses in their minds. Yes, I specially convened this Jonin meeting in response to all the turmoil that happened three days ago... "

Hearing this, everyone present sat upright and pricked up their ears, waiting for Sandai to explain the turmoil three days ago.

The third generation looked at the Hokage Rock outside the window. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice the conclusion he had reached after discussing with Yan and Xiaochun:

"Before the meeting begins, first of all, I want to apologize to everyone and the villagers...because of my personal ignorance and nepotism, I have caused huge losses to the village."

Having said this, Sandai took off the Hokage hat on his head, revealing his gray hair and bowed deeply to everyone present...

Seeing this action, Beichen not only sneered in his heart, but he also started with that standard, right?
