Chapter 175 Keep an Eye on Jiraiya

"We must impose sanctions on the Tea Country. We cannot allow them to continue to develop."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato and said that the previous battle had made him see the unparalleled development speed of the Hidden Village in the Land of Tea.

If they continue at this pace, even if the Tea Country cannot produce a second God of the Ninja World, there will be a large number of Kage-level powerhouses. By then, they will have no choice but to admit that the Tea Country is the sixth largest ninja village in the Ninja World.

Moreover, since the territories of the Fire Country and the Tea Country are adjacent to each other, if Lu Lin becomes more greedy and wants to tear a little flesh from the Fire Country, Konoha will have no way to stop him.

After all, by that time, it will be a matter between the Fire Nation and the Tea Nation, and it would be good for the other countries not to come up and step on the Fire Nation.

Minato Namikaze naturally understood the threat posed by the Tea Country. It just so happened that the daimyos of several major countries still had some thoughts about the Tea Country. With their support behind the scenes, other ninja villages could only hold their noses and continue to send troops.

After thinking for a long time, Minato Namikaze wrote a letter and asked his Anbu guards to send it to the capital of the Land of Fire, asking them to hand it over to the daimyo personally.

Just yesterday, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly announced to the village that he would pass the position of Konoha Hokage to Namikaze Minato.

Although he had not yet gone to the daimyo, the daimyo also wrote a letter to support Minato Namikaze to become the Fourth Hokage, and told Minato that after completely suppressing the Tea Country, he could come back and hold a perfect and luxurious succession ceremony.

In response to this, Minato Namikaze remained noncommittal.

Just like that, another undercurrent began to flow slowly between the five major countries.

. . . . . .

The capital of the tea country.

"Teacher, are you not suitable to be here now?"

In a Kabukicho, Jiraiya was sitting carefree on a sofa, along with Yahiko and other three members of the Akatsuki organization.

"Teacher, I'm just here to collect materials, I'm not doing anything else."

Jiraiya said indifferently. In fact, he had received an order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, asking him to collect information about the interior of the Tea Country. Now only a few people can enter the capital of the Tea Country.

Yahiko frowned and looked at Jiraiya. Even though his teacher was always traveling in the ninja world and not paying attention to the internal affairs of Konoha, in fact, he was the one who was most reluctant to let go of Konoha.

Whenever there was something important happening in Konoha, or if there was any danger, Jiraiya would never shirk his responsibility.

Just like before, even though he accepted Yahiko and the other two as his disciples, he never gave them a detailed description of the situation inside Konoha.

Under Yahiko's gaze, Jiraiya gradually became a little overwhelmed and could only laugh:

"Don't worry, your teacher won't do anything wrong."

"I'm sorry, teacher. This is a special period, so I hope you can be more careful."

Not long after he and Nagato returned, they heard the news that Jiraiya had entered the capital of the Tea Kingdom. Since Lu Lin had also been in seclusion, the three of them rushed over without stopping to keep an eye on Jiraiya.

Jiraiya felt a little bitter about this. He didn't know what kind of drug Lu Lin had given his three disciples that made them value the Tea Kingdom so much.

Moreover, he could also feel that the strength of these three disciples, even the weakest ones, Yahiko and Konan, was almost on par with his.

As for Nagato, he didn't know why he couldn't see through him.

Moreover, under the gaze of the other person's eyes, I felt as if I was seen through by him and had nowhere to hide.

He was a little surprised. Even though he had taught them before, their strength didn't improve so quickly.

Could it be that Nagato was really the son of prophecy? But he had asked the Toad Sage, and the Toad Sage clearly told him that Nagato was not the child of prophecy.

As the atmosphere gradually became solemn, the space beside Jiraiya suddenly rippled slightly, and a small toad jumped out from it.

"Jiraiya Jiraiya, the Toad Sage asked me to come find you. He said he has something important to tell you."

The atmosphere was finally broken, Jiraiya quickly let out a long sigh, then greeted Yahiko and the others, and without waiting for their reply, he used the reverse summoning technique to leave.

Looking at the disappearing Jiraiya, Yahiko leaned on the back of the sofa helplessly and rubbed his eyebrows.

"If the teacher comes again in the future, arrest him and lock him up. Brother Lu Lin must not get into trouble."

He also knew that the biggest reason why Jiraiya was able to go in and out of the Tea Kingdom all the time and Lu Lin did not stop him was because of the three of them.

For the sake of his ideals and to allow the people in the village to survive, Yahiko strengthened his heart and stopped being soft-hearted.

The kindness of training these three people must be repaid, but not in this way. At most, when Lu Lin and Konoha go to war in the future, the Akatsuki organization will not get involved. If that is not possible, they can just watch and protect the citizens of the Land of Fire.

Nagato and Konan nodded. Yahiko's opinion was what they both agreed with. Moreover, they also felt that Jiraiya's behavior was indeed a bit excessive. This country was surrounded by five ninja villages, and he was still thinking about searching for intelligence.

Doesn't he know how important the Tea Country is to the Rain Country? Akatsuki will never tolerate anyone or anything that will endanger the citizens of the Rain Country.

"I don't know when Brother Lu Lin will wake up."

Xiaonan said silently. Lu Lin's retreat was too sudden, and the affairs of the Tea Kingdom had not been arranged yet.

"It's okay. Since Brother Lu Lin is not here, we will protect the safety of the Tea Kingdom. Anyway, Lord Hanzo has already issued a statement that the Rain Kingdom and the Tea Kingdom will always stand together."

Thinking of the statement that Salamander Hanzo would make after the war, Yahiko and the others became a little excited.

It was that battle that made Hanzo's originally silent heart beat again, and also made himself and others no longer be timid in order not to involve the Rain Country.

In the last war, Akatsuki failed to help Lu Lin, which made Yahiko and others feel uncomfortable for a long time. They even felt that they could not stay in the Tea Country any longer.

"Hey, it's good that we are here in the Tea Country."

Suddenly a voice sounded, breaking the atmosphere between the three people.

Obito, Shisui, Itachi, Jūgo and Kimimaro were seen looking at Yahiko and the others with cold eyes.

Although Lu Lin understands the difficulties faced by Yahiko and others, Obito and the others would not think so much. The Tea Country has helped you for so long, but now we are facing a war and you are just standing aside and watching?

In this regard, Yahiko and his companions, who were in the wrong, could not refute and could only smile bitterly.
