Chapter 605 Jiraiya's Self-awareness: It's still a matter of face

For Jiraiya, Yan's direct and powerful approach to the top was nothing.

Anyway, anyone can be the Hokage, just don’t look for me.

Whether it's Tsunade or Hiko, as long as they can become qualified Hokage of the village, all other problems will not be a problem.

Jiraiya is heartless and certainly doesn't care how Yan became Hokage.

The Third Hokage is different.

Even though he privately described Ōnoki as a stubborn old man, in fact, wasn't he himself a problematic person?

People like him attach great importance to process concept.

Even when his own disciple Tsunade became the Hokage, he still had to leave. Although it was just a formality, the Third Hokage had nothing to say.

When it comes to Yan... wow, just put on the Hokage robe and it's done.

How does he accept this?

The Third Hokage remained silent. Jiraiya looked bitter and continued:

"Old man, don't think too much. We have seen Yan's ability. His ability and strength are well-known in the village. He has a high reputation in the ninja world and is trusted by the villagers. It is most appropriate for the village for him to become the Hokage."

"Besides, if he had a choice, Yan wouldn't want to become the Sixth Hokage. This is all Tsunade's fault."

Others would like to sit in that position, like Danzo, who has tried all kinds of dark means and has become a complete demon.

Tsunade and Yan are better!

One was forced to serve as Hokage for several years, and then he staged a drama of running away from the village.

Forcing another person who didn't want to become Hokage to become Hokage.

If Danzo knew about this, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his coffin lid closed.

"I have no doubts about Yan's ability, strength, and reputation."

The Third Hokage, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, and Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Just talk.

No matter whether you are angry or conflicted, as long as you speak up, you can proceed to the next step.

Otherwise, if the Third Hokage kept silent, it would be useless for Jiraiya to talk.

He took a deep breath and exhaled a large amount of smoke. The Third Hokage put down the pipe in his hand, and a look of helplessness flashed across his face, which was gradually showing age spots:

“Although I don’t like Uchiha people, I also don’t like this arrogant guy Uchiha Yan.

But I have to admit that you are right. He has outstanding abilities and is very powerful. He is also trusted by the villagers. He is also a well-known person in the ninja world. His reputation even surpassed that of the Kages of other villages at one time. "

"But what he did was wrong!"

At this point, the Third Hokage became a little emotional:

“I also know that he doesn’t want to become Hokage, otherwise he wouldn’t have delayed it for so long.

Seeing that the Five Kage Summit is about to be held, the village needs a Hokage to attend the Five Kage Summit before they are willing to become Hokage. "

"Whether it is active or passive, since you have become the Hokage, you should follow the rules of the village, instead of ignoring the rules set by the predecessors and directly putting on the Hokage robe to become the Hokage."

“This is disrespectful to our ancestors.”

Once upon a time, Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Hokage. Apart from the pain over the death of his teacher Senju Tobirama, his heart was filled with pride.

Because he became the Hokage.

The position of Hokage is sacred in the eyes of the Third Hokage.

Well, and now, his sacred and noble identity and profession have been pressed to the ground and even stepped on by Yan. Can he accept it?

Can not accept.

"Oh~~~"

This task is really daunting.

Jiraiya wanted to strike, but he didn't dare, so he had to go ahead.

"Old man, don't be so excited. At this time, the village cannot afford to spend a lot of time on these things, so we..."

"Can you make it up later?"

The Third Hokage directly defeated the enemy.

The smile on Jiraiya's face completely froze.

Make up for your uncle!

If you weren't my teacher, I would kick you with my big feet, believe it or not!

That brat did it right away just to skip all these things, but you, on the other hand, are still thinking of asking him to make up for it later?

Do I get on the bus first and buy the ticket later?

Fortunately, the Hokage is not a woman, otherwise she would get in the car first... Uh, Jiraiya suddenly froze in place, he remembered that Yan and Tsunade had a good relationship.

Suddenly, something broke in his heart.

“Gulp~~~”

The Third Hokage, who was still waiting for Jiraiya's reply, saw that his disciple picked up the bottle and drank the wine in big gulps without saying a word. He couldn't help but frowned and wondered what was wrong with this silly boy.

Is this really not possible?

"Jiraiya, drink slowly, slowly!!!"

"Ahem!! Don't try to persuade me. I feel bad and just want to drink some wine."

"......"

Who the hell is advising whom?

Finally, under Jiraiya's self-mutilating drinking method, the Third Hokage raised his hands in surrender and said, "You are ruthless, boy. I think you are awesome."

That’s not right either.

Old man, I have surrendered and listened to you, so why are you drinking even more?

"Wow, wow, old man, why do you think Tsunade dislikes me? Am I, Jiraiya, so bad?"

"......"

How would I know about the shitty stove stuff you youngsters have?

The Third Hokage's face twitched, and he comforted helplessly: "It should be fate. Okay, stop drinking and have a good sleep."

"What a bullshit fate! I think Tsunade thinks I'm ugly!!!"

Jiraiya suddenly had an idea and these words came out of his mouth without any brain control.

"......"

The Third Hokage had a strange look in his eyes.

I didn't expect you to have self-awareness?

He originally didn't want to say this for fear of hurting Jiraiya's feelings, but Jiraiya just blurted out nonsense. He couldn't be blamed for this, right?

Seeing Jiraiya take out two bottles of wine again, the Third Hokage hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stop Jiraiya.

Maybe getting this guy drunk was a good thing.

Is Jiraiya short of women?

There is definitely no shortage of them. As long as he doesn't indulge in debauchery and as long as he diverts his mind away from Tsunade, there will still be plenty of beautiful girls willing to marry him even when he is middle-aged.

Unfortunately, this guy likes to hang himself on a tree.

If Yan or Tsunade knew that Jiraiya, who came to persuade the Third Hokage, got himself depressed and drunk instead, they would definitely kick this guy in the face with the soles of their shoes.

Fortunately, although Jiraiya was heartbroken and sad, he still completed the mission.

After being pestered by him like this, the Third Hokage completely surrendered.

Perhaps Jiraiya was just one factor, but more importantly, the Third Hokage was unwilling to take risks. After all, some of the rules left by the previous Hokage might not be more important than his own family.

Jiraiya's arrival actually gave the Third Hokage a way out.
