Chapter 180 Rejection (Part [-])
Chapter 180 Rejection (Part [-])
"Now Orochimaru doesn't even know where he has gone. He will definitely not be able to find him again. It's all because of the lustful immortal that he missed such a good opportunity." Naruto's saliva was spraying all over himself. Laiya's face.
Jiraiya remained confused the whole time, waiting for Naruto to finish speaking before blinking and reacting.
"Snapped."
"Idiot Naruto!" He stood up suddenly, slapped Naruto on the head, and yelled at him, "Is there water in your brain?"
"Even you didn't know about Orochimaru's serious injury until you were here with Shizune. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. How could I know in advance?"
As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to his nose, "Naruto, please make it clear, I am Toad Sage, not Six Paths Sage. Do you really think I can predict the future?"
Jiraiya did not know that Orochimaru was seriously injured before this. When he arrived at the venue of the third Chunin exam, Orochimaru had already left, leaving only the body of the Third Hokage, and before that, he watched The ANBU that the Third Hokage fought with Orochimaru didn't know the specific situation because they couldn't see the Death God.
When they met Orochimaru just now, among the few insiders, Orochimaru and Kabuto certainly would not expose their shortcomings. Tsunade had not yet come out of the state of hemophobia, and Shizune was confronting Kabuto. When she saw Orochimaru After leaving, I just wanted to check on Tsunade's condition first, and didn't think of reminding him.
Sakura, who was traveling with Jiraiya, did not tell him about Orochimaru's serious injury, although she was also one of the insiders and knew more about the details than Tsunade and Shizune.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the real purpose of Sakura's visit this time is to ask Orochimaru about whether the curse seal can be improved. If Orochimaru is really killed by Jiraiya, although he will not really die, but He can seize his body and be reborn, but he has so many strongholds. How does Sakura know where the stronghold is? It's a question for her.
And Sakura couldn't reasonably explain why she knew about Orochimaru's serious injury, since she wasn't at the scene at the time.
As for why Jiraiya took the Sage of Six Paths as an example, it was because during the long-term war in the ninja world, a lot of information had been lost in the long river of time. In addition, the Sage of Six Paths was too powerful and had become more than ordinary people. The imagination of ninjas, so people nowadays basically only think that Sage of Six Paths is just a myth and legend, not a real person, and no one knows that he is the ancestor of ninjas.
Moreover, due to various magical changes during the spread, the legend of Six Paths Immortal has also evolved into many kinds. Saving the world from monsters is just one of the more popular versions.
Jiraiya said this, which can basically be understood as, do you think I am God?
"I...I..." After hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto didn't know what to say.
His character is inherently talkative, and he often speaks without thinking. Moreover, with his brain, it is simply impossible to expect him to think of all the causes and consequences before speaking.
But Naruto didn't want to admit that he had had a mental twitch before, and finally said adamantly, "Luxury Sento, didn't you and Orochimaru used to be partners? In this case, couldn't you tell that he was bluffing before? ?”
"Hey, hey, hey, Naruto, are you too unreasonable? If you say so, didn't you tell me before that you had close contact with Orochimaru during the Chunin Exam? And I haven't for more than ten years. You have met him, and you should know more about his situation than me, right?" Jiraiya retorted, and unceremoniously counterattacked the entire army.
"This..." Naruto was completely speechless now. He had met Orochimaru before, but how did he know the identity of that strange woman at that time.
Just then, a man rescued Naruto.
"boom!"
"That's enough, it's so noisy. Shut up, both of you. I don't want to see you arguing here." Tsunade, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened her eyes and slapped the table hard.
After the two of them calmed down, she looked at Jiraiya with drunken eyes and said, "Jiraiya, you asked so many questions just now, and now it's my turn to ask you why you appeared here. here?"
As she said that, she waved her fingers, "Don't say you just happened to be passing by, no one will believe you."
Jiraiya shook his head, "Of course I'm not passing by, Tsunade, I came here specifically to see you this time."
"Oh? Did you come to me specially? Haha." Tsunade smiled and said with emotion, "Fate is really wonderful. You two people who have not seen each other for more than ten years will actually appear on the same day."
"That guy Orochimaru came to me so that I could heal his injuries. What about you? You're not injured too, are you?"
"I am here this time to ask you to return to Konoha and assume the position of the fifth Hokage of Konoha."
"What did you say? You asked me to be Hokage, are you kidding me?" Tsunade said with surprise on her face.
Jiraiya said seriously, "I'm not kidding, what I said is true. You also know that the third generation of Hokage has been killed by Orochimaru. Konoha's talent is now withering. Is there anyone in the village who has enough prestige to succeed Hokage?" , that’s why I came..."
"Aren't you still here?" Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya before he could finish his words.
"Aha..." Tsunade yawned, supported her chin with the back of her hand, and said lazily, "The Third Hokage is your master, the Fourth Hokage is your apprentice, and you yourself are famous in Konoha. The legendary ninja, if you become the fifth generation Hokage, will there still be people who are dissatisfied and opposed?"
"That's true." Jiraiya first agreed with her words, and then changed the subject, "But Tsunade, you also know that with my personality, I prefer a free life and travel to the ninja world to collect... The material of the novel, rather than being tied to the position of Hokage, so I can't be Hokage no matter what."
After hearing this, Tsunade immediately asked without thinking, "If you can't do it, can I do it?"
"Of course you can." Jiraiya said with certainty, "Your identity, qualifications, popularity, and abilities all meet the conditions for becoming Hokage. And I also talked to three consultants before coming here, and they all Very much agree.”
"Hmph, stop using those three old guys to pressure me." Tsunade had a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She had always disliked the three members of the elder group.
Then, as if she remembered something, she curled her lips and said, "By the way, speaking of the three of them, hasn't Danzo always wanted to be Hokage? Since you don't want to be, wouldn't it be enough to give it to him?"
Jiraiya showed a wry smile, "Tsunade, Danzo is already seventy years old. Let's not talk about whether he can gain the trust of the jonins and daimyo. Even if he really becomes Hokage, he will not live for a few years. When the time comes, we will still have to choose the Sixth Hokage. In this case, frequent changes in village chiefs will have serious consequences for the mentality of the villagers, which is very detrimental to Konoha."
Even for ninjas, seventy is a very old age. Death is basically beckoning. After all, ninjas are not immortal cultivators. No matter how strong they are, their lifespan cannot be increased. When they get older, their energy and strength will decrease significantly. If it decays, it will no longer be able to perform the job of Hokage. Others don't know that Danzo has the first-generation cells and is active all day long.
The third generation of Hokage also abdicated in his fifties, but had to retake the post of Hokage because of the accidental death of Minato Namikaze.
Just as miserable as him is Tsuchikage Onoki. The lack of talents in Iwagakure is even worse than that of Konoha. Konoha still has a Kakashi who can support its appearance, but Iwagakure doesn't even have one. What makes Onoki vomit blood the most. It took a lot of effort to cultivate the genius Deidara, but in the end, this unlucky boy defected...
So to sum up, Jiraiya was not actually cursing Danzo when he said this. Of course, if Danzo heard this, he would definitely be furious.
"Okay, stop talking. In short, I refuse."
"It's impossible for me to be Hokage or something." Unfortunately, even though Jiraiya mentioned this, Tsunade still chose to refuse.
Seeing this, Jiraiya had no choice but to say, "Because Orochimaru invaded and killed the Third Hokage, all ninjas in Konoha are panicked, and the other four major nations have now learned about it. , Konoha is now in a situation where they are eyeing them. If this continues, the Fourth Ninja War may break out at any time. By then, Konoha without the leadership of Hokage will be like a boat in the wind and rain. There is a risk of destruction.”
"Tsunade, Konoha is a village that your grandfather put in a lot of hard work and finally built. Do you really have the heart to watch it be destroyed under the siege of the other four powers?"
In order to get Tsunade back, Jiraiya deliberately made the situation much worse. In fact, although Konoha was in danger now, it was far from being on the verge of destruction as he said.
Not to mention other things, the Kingdom of Wind has just signed an alliance agreement with Konoha. Although only the interests between countries are the most important, alliance agreements are not reliable at all, but if you regret it immediately after signing it, , that is too ugly, it will greatly affect the image of Sunagakure Village, and the number of task commissions will also plummet. After all, the task publisher still prefers Ninja Village with a good reputation.
Moreover, Sunagakure Village also lost the Kazekage, and it is now in chaos. Konoha at least has a candidate who can succeed the Hokage. Sunagakure does not even have a ninja who is qualified to succeed the Kazekage. {Although it is not written specifically, but according to Gaara Memories, he only became Kazekage not long ago in Shippuden}, even if he wanted to invade Konoha again, he was powerless.
As for the Kingdom of Water, due to its geographical location and the fact that Terumi Mei had just become the Mizukage, there was little possibility of invasion, so Konoha was not actually in great danger.
"Really? If that's the case, then it's even less likely that I'll go back to being Hokage."
Jiraiya's words seemed to have the opposite effect. After listening to it, Tsunade said these words instead.
"The First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage." Tsunade said calmly, "None of the previous Hokages of Konoha died normally. They all sacrificed their lives for the village."
"Life is different from money. It is much more valuable than money. If you don't cherish your own life, these people are the stupidest guys in the world."
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, looked at Tsunade, and said complicatedly, "Tsunade, you have changed. You would never have said such a thing before."
Tsunade sneered, "Isn't this normal? People will change. As time goes by, doesn't Orochimaru become different from before?"
"Speaking of which, Sarutobi-sensei is really serious. He is obviously an old man in his seventies. Wouldn't it be better to retire early and enjoy the blessings? If you insist on showing off your strength, you are simply looking for death."
She looked at Jiraiya, her eyes as dead as water, and said calmly, "Only a fool would be willing to take a position like Hokage."
"enough!"
"You guy...you guy..." Naruto, who was originally listening, suddenly stood up and looked at Tsunade angrily. His hands were clenched into fists under the table, and his lips were filled with anger. trembled.
From the beginning until now, the good feeling he had just because Tsunade helped him rescue him has long since disappeared, and now his heart is only full of anger.
For Naruto, Naruto is the loftiest ideal and the ultimate goal of his struggle. Although he clamors every day to become the strongest Hokage to surpass all previous generations of Hokages, they are the people he admires and respects the most.
But now, this woman dared to belittle Naruto like this, which was something he absolutely could not accept.
"You guy, how dare you insult Grandpa Hokage and all previous Hokage in front of me, I can't forgive you."
"Even if you are a woman, I will never let you go!"
Naruto jumped up and rushed towards Tsunade who was close at hand, while swinging his fist and hitting Tsunade in the face.
"Naruto, no." Jiraiya's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he reached out to catch Naruto, but he was a step too slow.
Tsunade looked disdainfully at Naruto who was rushing toward her. Due to the huge strength gap between the two sides, Naruto's movements seemed to have been slowed down countless times in her eyes. It was so slow that the opponent's strength was too great. In her eyes, it was not worth mentioning at all. She didn't move her body. She just stretched out her hand gently to hold Naruto's fist firmly, and then threw Naruto away with a flick of her hand. On to the ground.
"Jiraiya, the boy you brought is too overestimated and actually attacked me. It's really ridiculous." Tsunade stood up, glanced at Naruto who fell to the ground, and said to Jiraiya calmly.
"Shizune, let's go." After saying that, Tsunade turned and walked out regardless of Jiraiya's reaction.
