Jiraiya fell silent after listening to Sandai's words. He didn't expect that his escape would have such a chain effect.
"I'm sorry, old man. I left Konoha on the pretext of pursuing Orochimaru because I didn't want to see death and war anymore."
"Oh." After hearing Jiraiya's apology to him, the third generation sighed silently, "No, this is all because I didn't do a good enough job. It's really shameful to blame my own fault on my disciples."
Jiraiya firmly affirmed, "Sarutobi-sensei, you will always be the most handsome in my heart."
"Haha, he's actually not that handsome." The third generation chuckled, accepting Jiraiya's compliment.
"However." Jiraiya changed the topic and asked the third generation, "Did you just say that Hatake Sakumo's suicide was something you and Danzo didn't expect?"
"Uh, did I say such a thing?" Sandai wanted to slap himself hard at this moment. How could he talk about everything when his brain gets hot and his blood pressure rises?
Why don't you go back and buy some antihypertensive medicine first?
Jilai didn't say a word, he just stared at the third generation without moving.
"Oh." After a while, Sandai sighed again. He didn't know how many times he sighed. "I am indeed responsible for Hatake Sakumo's death."
Jirai did not speak, but silently waited for Sandai's next words.
"At that time, I already had the idea of wanting to step down from the position of Hokage, and basically only Sakumo and the three of you were qualified to take over as the fourth Hokage."
"Of course, there is also Danzo. He has always wanted to be Hokage, so in order to eliminate a potential opponent, he took advantage of the opportunity when Sakumo gave up the mission to rescue his teammates and launched a public opinion offensive against him."
Of course, Sandai did not say this after a series of exchanges of interests with me. No matter how old and foolish he is, he still knows what to say and what not to say.
"At the same time, I also think that Hatake Sakumo's character is not suitable for becoming Hokage. He is too emotional, so he acquiesced in Danzo's behavior. But we did not expect that Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide because of public opinion. "
The third generation shook his head, and then continued, "His loss is immeasurable to Konoha. If we had known that things would be so serious, we would not have taken such action."
The period when Hatake Sakumo committed suicide was during the Third World War. Losing this general in the war was an unacceptable loss for any village.
However, the reason why the third generation allowed Danzo to target Hatake Sakumo was actually not just that.
Although the Hatake clan has a long history and is powerful, its population is not prosperous, so they cannot become a large clan like Uchiha and Hinata.
But precisely because of this, a large number of small and medium-sized families gathered around him, and the Hatake clan became the leader of small and medium-sized families in Konoha.
Of course, these small and medium-sized families gather around Sakumo Hatake for the sole purpose of gaining benefits. After Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, we can know that no family gathered around Sakumo Kakashi anymore. up.
And it is precisely because of this that once Hatake Sushige becomes Hokage, then he will definitely start to benefit from the small and medium-sized families that support him.
This kind of thing is absolutely unavoidable. For example, the three generations, the Inokacho clan, as his confidantes, have jumped from a small and medium-sized family to the third largest group after Hinata and Uchiha.
But the interests of Konoha have long been distributed. The rise of one family must be accompanied by the decline of another family. Even the rise of the three clans of Ino, Deer and Butterflies was not completed in an instant. It took nearly 20 years for the three generations. It took time for them to silently develop to this level.
But if Hatake Sakumo is in power, three generations can already foresee conflicts and disputes between Konoha's big family and small and medium families.
Therefore, even for the stability of Konoha, the third generation could not let Hatake Sakumo become Hokage.
Also, that's why he chose the rootless civilian ninja Minato Namikaze to become the Fourth Hokage, because he wouldn't disturb Konoha's existing balance of power.
Moreover, if any civilian family really develops with the support of Namikaze Minato, its impact will be far lower than the confrontation between small and medium-sized families and large families.
The original intention of the first Hokage to convene a large number of families to jointly establish Konoha was certainly good, but what he did not expect was that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Konoha has gone through decades since the establishment of the village. When they jointly established Konoha, Many families in Yeyin Village have also disappeared. Did they all die out naturally?
Of course not, Konoha's cake is too small, and there are too many people, so it is everyone's common idea to let those who look weaker exit first.
It's just that some people don't know that in the eyes of others, they
He's also the guy who looks weaker.
"Is that because of this?" Jiraiya nodded. Hatake Sakumo's suicide was beyond everyone's expectations. He once even thought that Sakumo did not die by suicide but by homicide. For this reason, he I also investigated for a while, but nothing was found.
But now it seems that Sakumo was indeed driven to death by public opinion.
Jiraiya smiled bitterly, and then shook his head. It was a big joke that a ninja with such strength would die from the attack of public opinion.
"Even so, you did it wrong."
"I know I know"
The two were silent for a while, and then after a while, Jiraiya was the first to break the silence, "Speaking of which, how is the progress of your clone?"
Jiraiya raised his head and looked at the row of petri dishes behind him. The third generation was wrong about this matter, but he was not right. At the time when the debate over whether the mission was more important or the companions were more important was at its most intense, he also He didn't stand up to give Sakumo enough support. In that case, who did he have to blame the third generation now?
When the third generation heard Jiraiya's question, he breathed a sigh of relief silently. Anyway, he had fooled Jiraiya this time.
It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. He has lived for 70 years and has seen all the splendor of the world. He has long been prepared to go down to the underworld to make up for the wrong things he has done over the years. .
But now Konoha can no longer withstand the blow of losing Jiraiya again. The Ninja World War is about to break out, and Konoha has once again become the target of public criticism, so every piece of combat power now seems precious.
The third generation can't be said to be a good person, nor can he be said to be a bad person, but he is definitely the one who has Konoha's best interests at heart.
"Clone? With the help of Tsunade, after these days of experiments, it is almost ready. I will start cultivating my own clone in a few days, and then I will start the experiment of reincarnation in about a month. , If I fail at that time, I still have some time to adjust, and generally speaking, there is no big problem."
Jilai also nodded, "It's better if you're okay, Konoha still can't do without you."
"Haha, no one can live without the other. Even a young bird has to spread its wings and fly high. I will die sooner or later, and I can't always look after Konoha. The next generation is the master of Konoha."
"However, if that number can be completed, it seems that you can't even die if you want to." Jiraiya pointed his finger at the petri dish in front of them. The purpose of Orochimaru's development of the corpse reincarnation was to let people I am immortal. Although I don’t know if this ninjutsu can really make people immortal, but at least judging from the current situation, there is no problem for people who use the corpse reincarnation to live for hundreds of years.
"Haha, that's true." The third generation did not refute Jiraiya's words. If Konoha really encountered any crisis in the future, he would not stand idly by.
The third generation suddenly turned to Jiraiya and said, "By the way, Jiraiya, if nothing happens, don't stay here any longer. Tsunade is worried about the people on the border and is starting to lose her temper." Her hair is gone, since you are free, why not go and help her, and stop looking at me, an old man, here."
Jiraiya said to the third generation with an aggrieved look, "Old man, you have misunderstood me. I have not just been here in a daze during this period. I have been practicing how to activate the sage mode by myself. ah."
"Immortal mode" asked the third generation with some confusion. He really didn't have a deep understanding of immortal magic. "It's the one you used last time, isn't it? You can already use it, why are you still practicing it?"
"The sage mode I used before required the assistance of two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, but the speed was too slow, so I am now practicing how to quickly activate the sage mode alone." Jiraiya finished. He silently glanced at the third generation. If he could turn on the immortal mode faster last time, then the third generation would not be like this.
"Then it's up to you." Midai waved his hand at Jiraiya, "Anyway, don't blame Tsunade for not helping her later."
"Haha, no, I have already discussed it with Tsunade, and I will take care of it during this period." Jiraiya accidentally let it slip.
The third generation smiled at Jiraiya and shook his head, "You guys"
What else could he say, he had no choice but to frankly accept the concern from the younger generation.
However, regarding the previous argument, the Third Generation did not convince Jiraiya, and Jiraiya also did not convince the Third Generation. They were just distracted by Hatake Sakumo's incident. Naruto: Haruno Sakura's Heroic Story
