Chapter 276 The Third Hokage Questions Jiraiya

"Task entrusted......."

Jiraiya blurted out.

As soon as he said this, his face changed.

Yes, many mission commissions are accumulated during the war. When the war is over and a large number of ninjas return, they will work hard to complete the missions.

Especially for a guy like him who ran away halfway and didn't return to the village for two years, he would definitely be treated like a donkey.

And the missions that Jiraiya performs are definitely high-level missions.

This type of mission is not only dangerous, but also troublesome.

"This is not fair! Why are you treating me like a donkey?!" After drinking some wine, Jiraiya started to get drunk.

In the corridor of the barbecue restaurant, the Third Hokage, who had just walked out of the private room and had not yet had time to open the door, just stood there in a daze.

He had been waiting in the Hokage's office for Jiraiya, his good disciple, to report in.

As a result, not only did Jiraiya not report to the Hokage's office, he first ran to the hot spring hotel to peek, causing a huge mess that he had to clean up with great difficulty.

Jiraiya ran to find Rope Tree, and after finishing, he took Jingyi to eat barbecue.

After waiting for a long time, the Third Hokage became impatient and had to deliver the goods himself. Unexpectedly, he heard Jiraiya's loud voice before he even entered the door.

somebody is coming.

Jingyi said meaningfully: "Because most of the strong ninjas in the village went to the battlefield to fight for the village, and you ran away for two years. Is this reason enough?"

"Don't we need to carry out missions once we're on the battlefield?"

Jiraiya became even more unhappy.

I've also been to the battlefield, although I ran away... embarrassing.

But you tell me, did you go on to do it or not?

"Not necessarily, like me."

Jingyi pointed at herself and said affirmatively: "I will definitely not go on the mission. Tsunade is about the same, right? Orochimaru? He will most likely stay in the village, so thank you for your hard work."

"I!"

Jiraiya opened his mouth wide. Why do I feel like I'm the only one who's easy to bully?

"If you need anything, Jingyi, there are indeed many tasks and commissions suitable for you in the village."

The Third Hokage, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, opened the door and walked in. He felt that Shizuichi was deliberately teasing Jiraiya.

"No need. I will not carry out any missions or commissions until Kushina can't leave the village."

Jingyi refused decisively.

Are you kidding? Am I short of money?

No shortage.

Since I'm not short of money, why should I go on a mission? God knows what kind of stupid mission you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will choose for me.

As a ninja of the village, refusing to carry out the mission was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Third Hokage.

This is not.

Jiraiya, who had just started to get dizzy, suddenly came to his senses.

He felt that apart from the two years he had been on the run, compared to Jingyi, he was definitely a qualified ninja and a good boy.

"Carrying out missions is the mission of every ninja in the village."

The Third Hokage said this seriously.

Jingyi couldn't help but ask: "Including the Hokage?"

The Third Hokage: "........."

Although the Hokage can leave the village to carry out missions, the top leaders will not allow the Hokage to do so. If even the Hokage has to go on a mission, can this village still be saved?

So the question is, if even the top Anbu officials need to go and carry out mission commissions, can this village still be saved?

The duty of the Anbu is to carry out commissioned missions?

"Ahem, Jingyi, the old man is the Hokage. Under normal circumstances, the Hokage cannot leave the village casually, let alone carry out a mission."

Jiraiya was afraid that the teacher would be too embarrassed, so he forced an explanation.

After hearing this explanation, Jingyi laughed:

"Then the duty of the Anbu is to help the village carry out missions?"

"........."

You thought I just farted.

Jiraiya decisively chose to shut up.

As a high-ranking member of the Anbu, Shizuichi, like the Third Hokage, has the privilege of not being able to leave the village easily, let alone carry out mission commissions.

Besides, the Anbu has fewer missions to perform, right?

Quite a lot.

However, these tasks are basically not for making money, but for the benefit of the village.

"Yes, the duties of the Anbu are not to carry out tasks and commissions for the village. If all these tasks are entrusted to the Anbu, the Anbu will not be able to handle it, and other ninjas in the village will lose the economic income they rely on for survival."

The Third Hokage sat next to Jiraiya, picked up his chopsticks and started eating barbecue.

I also agreed with Jingyi's words.

Old man, is this appropriate for you?

I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I spoke up for you, but you turned around and sold me out.

Damn it, I really want to overturn the table.

"Jiraiya, do you realize your mistake?"

Before Jiraiya could speak up for himself, the Third Hokage started questioning him first.

"I realize that I was wrong. Something like this won't happen again. I promise!"

He ran away when there was a war in the village, and stayed on the run for two years, even hiding from the people in the village. This kind of thing would be incredible no matter which village it happened in.

He has never been treated as a traitor, thanks to his teacher being the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage's face darkened: "I'm talking about the hot spring hotel!!"

"Several ladies who were bathing in the hot spring hotel came to the Hokage's office building to complain. Do you know how much effort it took me to convince them?"

"Ah? It's not because of the Rain Country?"

Jiraiya looked confused.

Jingyi laughed silently.

Jiraiya really has no clue at all. The fact that your teacher didn't treat you as a traitor means that the matter is over.

Then you put yourself into it.

What?

Is it a small matter to spy on others bathing in a hot spring hotel?

"Jiraiya."

The disciple's slow reaction successfully angered the Third Hokage:

"After I convinced these people, the hot spring hotel owners in the village united and reported you to the Hokage's office. They said that because of your behavior, the image of their hot spring hotels has suffered a fatal blow, which will cause their business to deteriorate."

"And this behavior has happened so many times that no one can tolerate it anymore, you know?"

Is it such a big deal?

Jiraiya was a little bit unbelieving. Even if he was discovered in the past, at most he would be scolded by the Third Hokage and that would be it.

Unexpectedly, the hot spring hotel owner who had not reacted until now actually became tough this time. A group of people went to the Hokage's office to file a complaint and demanded compensation from him.
