Chapter 213 Jiraiya runs away

After hearing that Jiraiya wanted to go out and bring Orochimaru back, the Third Hokage pondered for a few seconds, and then said slowly:

"Jiraiya, you should know that Orochimaru will not come back easily."

"And he has hurt his companions in the village and is now a dangerous traitor. Even if you bring Orochimaru back, he will be punished accordingly."

"I know..." Jiraiya showed a firm look, and then said: "But I still insist on bringing Orochimaru back, and I will never allow him to continue on the wrong path."

The Third Hokage shook his head and said:

"I can't promise you. The village is in dire straits right now, and it still needs this war hero to be in charge. Once others know that you are chasing Orochimaru, the village will easily become unstable."

"Besides, the teacher is old, so the position of Fifth Hokage can only be left to you."

Hearing this, Jiraiya hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to express his inner thoughts to the third generation teacher. It was true that he wanted to bring Orochimaru back.

But more importantly, he didn't want to stay in the village any longer.

I don't know when he started to hate Danzo's cunning and cunning, the hypocrisy of the consultant duo, and the boring Machiavellian methods of the third generation teacher.

Because of these experiences, Tsunade left the village, and Orochimaru defected not long ago.

He even had the idea of ​​leaving the village and traveling around the world, but if he really left Konoha, the third generation teacher would have no more students.

After leaving Konoha, he could not find another place to stay. Even the holy land of Mt. Myoboku that he trusted was not a permanent place. There was only one hometown for him, and that was Konoha.

Seemingly sensing Jiraiya's thoughts, the Third Hokage sighed softly, then took out a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took the scroll, which was blank, and couldn't help but look at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage said slowly:

"This is a long-term S-level latent mission. Your mission is to travel around the country to find the criminals who secretly target the village. Remember to keep in touch...give me a mission report every once in a while."

Jiraiya was not a fool and instantly understood what the Third Hokage meant.

The old man didn't agree with him looking for Orochimaru, but he didn't object to his behavior. This blank task delegation seemed to give him the power to act expediently.

"Old man, then I'll leave first..."

After getting what he wanted, Jiraiya planned to leave immediately. Before walking out of the office door, he said to the Third Hokage:

"Teacher Sandaime, there is nothing wrong with the policy of cracking down on the ninja clan and supporting civilian ninjas, but I think the reason why our companions in the village are willing to sacrifice their lives in the war still relies on the will of fire..."

"Jiraiya, I know the meaning of the Will of Fire better than you."

After Jiraiya left, the Third Hokage muttered in his heart, then relit his pipe and started smoking dryly.

After Jiraiya left this time, he became completely alone.

Although ANBU Minister Shinnosuke is his son, all the Sannin who have truly accepted his inheritance have left the village.

Why is all this happening?

The Third Hokage looked at the portrait of Senju Tobirama and thought to himself.

…

Jiraiya quietly left Konoha without alerting any ninja.

But as time went by, Konoha ninjas discovered that Jiraiya had left Konoha. The news spread rapidly in Konoha ninja village, and almost every Konoha ninja knew it.

There was also a heated discussion in the village as to why Jiraiya suddenly left Konoha.

In normal times, it would be normal for a master like Jiraiya to go out on missions, but the war with Kumogakure had just ended, and Jiraiya was once again ignored at the celebration party.

All kinds of behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Konoha ninjas. They suspected that Jiraiya had broken up with the Third Hokage. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the end of the war to start the Fifth Hokage campaign.

Faced with the rumors in the village, the Third Hokage did not choose to explain.

As time goes by, these rumors will naturally dissipate. He no longer cares about reputation so much, so he can just let them go.

Danzo Shimura, who loves to create rumors, did not choose to attack the Third Hokage at this time.

Now he is more awake than before. Instead of risking failure to attack the Third Hokage, it is better to wait silently for the Third Hokage to make a mistake.

Today he taught Tenzo several more Wood Release Ninjutsu, and Tenzo learned them all.

There has also been considerable progress in the root laboratory. It is said that an experimental subject with a special constitution has been discovered that can withstand the erosion of Hashirama cells and can even reduce the side effects of transplanting the Sharingan.

As long as this technology is developed to maturity, he will be able to possess both Wood Release and Sharingan.

When the power of Senju Mori and Uchiha Uchiha are combined, no one in the entire ninja world will be his opponent, not even the Third Hokage and Byakuya.

Within the Uchiha clan.

Shisui heard the news about Jiraiya's departure. He didn't know why Jiraiya left, but he was about to usher in a new life.

After learning that he had the Sharingan, the Third Hokage not only did not doubt him, but instead transferred him to the ANBU and trained him as a confidant.

If it were in the past, he would definitely be grateful to the Third Hokage.

Thanks to the Third Hokage for making him the bridge between Uchiha and the village, the departure of the three ninjas made Shisui a little more suspicious.

If the Third Hokage was really perfect, why would the Sannin leave one after another?

Could it be that the Third Hokage wanted to use himself to create a gap between himself and his family, and then reach the point of dividing the Uchiha?

Can he, in turn, use the Third Hokage to help his family complete a transformation?

A clan meeting is being held in the Hyuga clan.

Except for Hyuga Hizashi, all the people who attended the meeting were members of the Hyuga clan. Hyuga Hizashi reluctantly sat here because of his contribution as the leader of the branch clan and the Kumogakure battlefield.

The great elder of the clan, who was sitting at the head of the table, first glanced at Hinata Hizashi, and then said:

"Hizashi, you did a great job on the front line this time and won a lot of places for your family, but you were too popular and overshadowed your brother. Don't do this again next time."

Hinata almost nodded in agreement. Although he was very powerful, he did not dare to challenge the caged bird system.

After a pause, the great elder of the Zong family continued:

"Head of the Hiashi clan, Hinata will be four years old in two months. This year's birthday will be grander to celebrate the rise of the Hyuga clan."

The silent Hinata Hizu spoke:

"Hinata's birthday party is already being prepared. Elder, please rest assured. However, the battlefield has just ended. Isn't it a good idea for us to be so extravagant and wasteful?"

"Everything is for the Hyuga clan, let's do it this way." The clan leader said without doubt: "In addition, it is time for the family to prepare for the caged bird ceremony."

Hearing this, Hinata Hizashi felt like he was struck by lightning, but he still didn't dare to say anything.

He could accept the caged bird mark being engraved on his head, but he could not accept that Neji also had the caged bird mark engraved on his head, but this was the fate of the Hyuga family.

It is true that no one has resisted for thousands of years, but they have all turned into dust in history.

The caged bird system has always existed, and the children of separated families will always be separated families.
