Chapter 237 The Third Hokage’s Surprise

"By blindly pursuing peace, the Akatsuki organization will not be able to wait for the day of true peace."

After hearing these words, Byakuya and Nagato looked at each other and froze on the spot.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but the problem comes from Yahiko's mouth.

What is Yahiko? That was the holy father of the Akatsuki organization. He would rather die in the hands of Nagato in exchange for Konan's life and cooperation with Amegakure Village.

He was actually showing such a tough attitude right now, which even made Bai Ye, a conservative, a little embarrassed.

Nagato took a step forward and said in a caring tone: "Yahiko, have you been working too hard recently and you are talking nonsense? This is not like your style."

"That's right..." Bai Ye nodded, and then said:

"Byakuya, Nagato, you are too extreme. If you bring the leader of Kusugakure here in this way, you will not be able to convince the other party, and you will not be able to achieve true peace."

"This is what you should say. After all, you are Brother Ji."

"What is Brother Extreme?"

Yahiko wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just said what was in his heart very seriously, but it seemed that he was taken as a joke by the two of them.

And what's going on with this guy Bai Ye?

My previous persuasion was not treated as nonsense. How could I remember it so clearly, and even my facial expressions were imitated perfectly?

After coughing and clearing his throat, Yahiko returned to his seriousness:

"You did a good job this time, but please don't do it next time. If the operation fails, we and Caoyin Village will be at odds with each other, which violates the organization's concept of unity and cooperation."

"That's right."

Byakuya and Nagato both nodded, acknowledging Yahiko's expression.

Yahiko's character is the leader of the doves. If he steals the words of the hawks, what else can the hawks say? Are these war methods too mild and too conservative?

Seeing the expressions of Byakuya and Nagato, the corners of Yahiko's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally thought that after so many years of getting along, everyone had changed, but now it seems that they have changed but not completely.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Yahiko walked towards the office.

After Byakuya and Nagato brought over the leader of Caoyakure Village, their work was over, but their own work had just begun.

A more reasonable plan that is beneficial to both parties must be devised.

…

After traveling for half a year, Jiraiya set foot on the land of the Land of Fire.

After seeing the huge statue in the Valley of the End and a few familiar faces above Shadow Rock, Jiraiya suddenly felt more at ease, and even the fatigue in his body was swept away.

No matter how beautiful the scenery in various parts of the ninja world is, Konoha is still the hometown he can't leave.

After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya walked into the Konoha Ninja Village. A few minutes later, he appeared in the Hokage's office and saw the Third Hokage smoking.

The third-generation teacher could not stop smoking. He would smoke one to cheer him up when he was in a good mood, and he would take one to suppress his bad mood when he was in a bad mood. He could always find an excuse to smoke a few.

"Old man, smoking is bad for your health."

The Third Hokage glanced at Jiraiya, and then said: "I know smoking is not good, but writing forbidden readings is not a good hobby. It is also very harmful to the body."

Jiraiya quickly explained: "Old man, you know that I have always kept myself clean. I only went to Fengyue Place to collect materials. I never had any other ideas."

"You'd be a normal person if you had other ideas."

The Third Hokage complained in his heart, and then asked Jiraiya: "Counting the time, you have been out for more than half a year. Have you gained anything in the past six months? Have you found Orochimaru?"

Mentioning Orochimaru's name, Jiraiya became a lot more serious, and then said:

"I have met Orochimaru several times, but no matter how much I persuade him, he has never thought of coming back. With my strength, I am no match for him."

Are you really not Orochimaru's opponent... The Third Hokage didn't bother to expose Jiraiya's true thoughts.

Jiraiya could no longer kill Orochimaru, and even he, the teacher, could not kill the proud student he had trained.

Otherwise Orochimaru would not have had the chance to escape in the first place.

After all, although Orochimaru is strong, he is his teacher. He knows all the moves Orochimaru has mastered and has very strong restraint ability.

After taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage asked: "Besides the news about Orochimaru, do you have anything else to gain?"

Jiraiya nodded, and then began to talk about his experiences traveling around the world.

After hearing that Jiraiya had traveled to various countries and met all kinds of ninjas, the Third Hokage also had a look of envy in his eyes. He also wanted to see the prosperity of the ninja world for himself.

Unfortunately, he never had this time.

Before becoming Hokage, he had been working under Teacher Tobirama and experienced the most brutal First Ninja War.

After becoming Hokage, because of his identity as Hokage, he could not leave easily.

So he stayed near Konoha Ninja Village and Daimyo Castle, and as far as he reached the Konoha border, he commanded the Second Ninja World War.

In this era of surging undercurrents, he cannot leave the village easily.

He was very envious of Jiraiya's chicness. Maybe Jiraiya always refused to become Hokage because he knew that the position of Hokage was a constraint.

After talking about the civil situation in various countries in the ninja world, Jiraiya began to talk about his experience as a guest in Amegakure Village.

Unlike traveling to other countries, many high-level officials in Amegakure Village are Jiraiya's apprentices. This time, Jiraiya even visited the interior of Amegakure Village and exchanged a lot of experiences.

After hearing that the ninja school in Amegakure Village had seven to nine years of education, the Third Hokage was slightly startled.

Nowadays, the six-year system of the ninja school is the limit that he can achieve by balancing the various forces. The purpose is to first let the genin who graduate from the ninja school have qualities close to chunin.

But I didn't expect that Amegakure Village actually implements seven to nine years of education. Is this directly training chunin captains?

Jiraiya saw the surprise of the Third Hokage and quickly explained: "Old man, Amegakure Village does not want to cultivate Chunin directly, but to cultivate talents in many aspects."

"Byakuya and Yahiko also believe that ninjas have many professions to choose from besides mercenaries, and they need to popularize chakra education among the villagers of Amegakure Village so that everyone can master one or two ninjutsu."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage fell silent.

Let all villagers learn ninjutsu and become ninjas. This is a policy that even Teacher Tobirama can't imagine. Is Amegakure Village so bold and radical?
