Chapter 542: Words from the Third Generation

As I was working on it, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Naruto was the backbone of the downstairs group and had the least work to do, so naturally he was the one to open the door.

As a result, when I opened the door, I saw that it was the third generation.

"Third generation grandfather!"

The third generation laughed, then stepped in, looked around, and then said with a smile: "You guys are doing well!"

Everyone greeted the Third Hokage enthusiastically, except Sasuke, who greeted him coldly.

"Where are Jiraiya and Tsunade?"

The Sandaime looked at Naruto and asked. Naruto said "Oh" and said, "Well, Lady Tsunade has already gone to the hotel over there, and the lecherous sage is still coming!"

As he said that, Naruto shouted upstairs, "Lecherous sage, the Third-generation grandfather is here!"

Jiraiya, Minato and Kushina who were upstairs heard the sound and came down.

"Old man, you're here!"

Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage and greeted him with a smile. Minato still greeted him respectfully, greeting the Third Hokage.

As for Kushina, although she still has some resentment towards the Third Generation because of Naruto’s childhood experiences, after all, Naruto is like this now, so she has let it go.

"Sandaime-sama!"

The Sandai smiled and nodded, "Kukina!"

Jiraiya looked at the Sandai and asked, "Old man, why are you here?"

Sandai smiled and said, "Come and see you, to see how you are preparing!"

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Everything is ready. Just wait until tomorrow and set off to pick up Tsunade. That's it!"

The third generation said "oh" twice, then looked at Minato and Kukona behind him, and Jiraiya instantly understood what the old man was going to say.

So, Jiraiya looked at Minato and Kushina and said, "I'm going to go out with the old man. You guys stay here and wait for me to come back!"

Minato and Kushina nodded.

The Sandai smiled and said, "Excuse me, Minato, Kuyuki."

The two people expressed their understanding.

The third generation took Jiraiya out. Naruto took a look and said nothing. He told Sasuke to stop doing what he was doing and come over to hit the balloon!

Although Sasuke complained in his heart, he still came over to do what Naruto said.

Looking at the large bag of balloons, Sasuke raised his eyes and said, "So many?!!!"

Naruto nodded and said, "Oh, of course. I bought so many just for the game. When the time comes, the whole house will be filled with balloons. How romantic!"

Sasuke: "Romantic, you are such a jerk. How long will it take to pop all these balloons?"

Naruto: "Can you please stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

As he said that, Naruto picked up a balloon, handed it to Sasuke, and asked him to hit it!!!

Sasuke was speechless, but he had to do it.

Sai was standing by and seeing this situation, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. Proud Sasuke, only Naruto can cure him!

outside.

The third generation took Jiraiya out for a walk.

"Old man, do you want to talk to me?"

The third generation smiled and nodded.

"In my life, I have only accepted you, Orochimaru, and Tsunade as my disciples! In fact, the one I admire the most is Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya snorted coldly, as if he had expected it, and said: "It can be seen that when you were dying, you only sealed his two hands and did not kill him. I hope he will turn over a new leaf!"

The third generation sighed and said, "In fact, I am also responsible for his becoming like this. Orochimaru is a very talented person, which is very rare. Unfortunately, he did not get guidance and growth on the right path, so I feel guilty!"

Jiraiya looked at the Sandai and asked, "Old man, you accepted Tsunade as your apprentice in order to protect the Senju clan, right?"

The third generation nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

"Shodai-sama and Nidai-sama, you have been so kind to me. I have lived under their care since I was a child. Moreover, I was brought up by Nidai-sama. Therefore, I have always been very fond of Tsunade. I want to repay the kindness of the Hodai-sama and Nidai-sama to Tsunade!"

Jiraiya nodded.

Every time the three of them made a mistake, Tsunade would not be punished or scolded, regardless of whether she was involved or not. On the contrary, the Third Generation would care about Tsunade very much!

Given Tsunade's status, there was almost no one in the village who would not give her face.

The Sandai continued, "In fact, among the three of you, you are the one who is most like me!"

As the third generation walked, he tilted his head to look at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, your talent is no worse than Orochimaru's. It's just that you were too playful when you were young. During your training, you always liked things about love and affection, and you especially liked freedom and unrestrainedness!"

Jiraiya listened to the Third Hokage's lecture, picked his nose, and said nonchalantly: "I am just like this, what can you do to me!"

The Sandaime sighed and said, "I asked you to take over, but you refused. Then I asked Minato to take over. But then, because of Obito's incident, the Nine-Tails was leaked, and Minato and Kushina died tragically. I asked you to take over again, but you still refused!"

At this point, the Sandaim sighed and said, "I have never told you that at that time, it was really difficult for me. Danzo had been making moves behind my back and was hooking up with Orochimaru. I had no choice. In order to prevent the power of the village from falling into Danzo's hands, I stepped in again!"

At this point, the Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya and complained, "If you had accepted the position of Hokage from the beginning, sat on it, and stayed in the village, I wouldn't have been so tired! Minato could have grown up peacefully for a few years and would have become more mature. By then, Naruto could have been born smoothly. With you in the village, Obito would have no chance at all!"

"Even if Kushina was really kidnapped, Minato wouldn't have died with you there. He might have been caught directly at that time!"

After the third generation finished speaking, Jiraiya was silent for a while.

indeed.

Taking the situation of the Third Generation as an example, if he took over from the very beginning, the Third Generation could stay behind the scenes and pay more attention to Danzo's movements, preventing him from using any means, and Minato could also grow safely!

If Kushina gives birth, the Third Generation might personally be there to guard outside while Minato stays inside.

Even if Obito went in according to the normal plot, captured Naruto, took the opportunity to kidnap Kushina, and released the Nine-Tails, the Third Hokage could react quickly and chase after him directly!

Then, Minato teleports back and Jiraiya will react.

If the three of them join forces, Obito might not be able to escape.

As for the Nine-Tailed Fox, that's not a problem at all.

In that case, only Kushina will die, and Naruto also has a father, so there will be no problem for him to grow up healthily!

Konoha might have fewer unstable factors, the Uchiha clan would not be in turmoil, and Fugaku would have more time to deal with his clan members.

Then, would the ending be different?

Jiraiya sighed and said, "Old man, everything is destined. No matter what you choose, there will be regrets. Just like Naruto, he was also reborn once!"

The Sandaime nodded, stopped, looked at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, tonight, I am not here to complain to you. I want to say sorry to you! As the Hokage and the master, I have not done my job well. I have not protected many people, and I have not done many things well!"

Jiraiya looked at the Third Generation in silence.

The Sandai sighed and said, "Tomorrow, you will marry Tsunade. As a master, to be honest, I am really happy for you, really!"

Jiraiya smiled and put his hand on the Sandai's shoulder, just like a grown boy putting his hand on his father's shoulder.

"Old man, why are you so sentimental? This is not like you!"

Sandai smiled and said, "After all, I have died once. I understand all the things I couldn't let go of and couldn't see through in the past!"

Jiraiya laughed and said, "It seems that the Second-generation Master's Impure World Reincarnation Technique does have some benefits. It can allow people to see many things in their previous lives!"

Listening to Jiraiya's words, the Sandai pointed at him and cursed: "You little bastard, you are still so frivolous!"

The third generation talked a lot with Jiraiya.

We talked about the past and some of our previous practices. There were many misunderstandings between the master and the apprentice, so we started the conversation tonight with just a few words.

In fact, Jiraiya was still very sad when the third generation died.

Why?

My master was killed by my best friend and fellow disciple. This would be very painful for anyone!

So, after this incident happened, Jiraiya didn't want to be Hokage even more!

why?

He couldn't calm down, and he needed to travel around the world more than before to ease the pain in his heart.

So, he asked Tsunade to take over.

However, after Tsunade took office, the village's strength was still not enough. Because of the death of the Third Hokage and the defection of Orochimaru, the village's high-end combat power had actually been severely damaged.

Konoha can't get any weaker.

Based on this consideration, Jiraiya discovered Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto, Minato's son, can also be considered his grandson.

This kid chose his own name!

Seeing his disciple's son being ostracized by the villagers, and the child's heart not turning bad, Jiraiya felt that he really had to do something!

Whether for the sake of the village or because of his feelings for Minato, Jiraiya devoted himself to Naruto again. He accepted Naruto as his apprentice and took him around the world to practice!

It happened that in the ninja world, the Akatsuki organization was harvesting tailed beasts everywhere.

Taking Naruto out will be safer for Konoha and also for Naruto.

Their whereabouts are uncertain, making it inconvenient for Xiao to encircle and suppress them!

Even if they are discovered, with Jiraiya around, Akatsuki must mobilize enough power to take Naruto away from Jiraiya!

Just like when Kisame saw Jiraiya with Naruto, when he learned that it was Jiraiya next to Naruto, he was very shocked and said: "I didn't expect that the person I was protecting was one of the legendary three ninjas. If this is the case, both the Uchiha clan and the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist are nothing compared to him!"

Itachi also said very seriously: "If we fight him, we will all be killed!"

This was the reason why Jiraiya was able to protect Naruto from wandering outside. At that time, Akatsuki was not very powerful. If they attacked Jiraiya, they might suffer heavy losses. For this reason, Akatsuki decided not to attack the Nine-Tails for the time being!

This was Jiraiya's series of reactions after the death of the Third Hokage and when he took Naruto away!

Looking back now, his decision was absolutely correct.

After the third generation finished chatting, he looked at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, see you tomorrow!"

Jiraiya had a very happy evening, and many of the knots and doubts between him and the old man were resolved.

"Okay old man, give me a better marriage certificate when the time comes!"

The third generation laughed and then left.

Jiraiya sighed, and then

He turned around and walked back. As he walked, he suddenly found a person stopped at the intersection.

It's pitch dark, who is this?

Jiraiya walked over here, and the man seemed to see Jiraiya. After realizing that Jiraiya was coming over, he also walked over here.

Ok?

Jiraiya was very confused. When the man walked into the light of the street lamp, Jiraiya smiled and sighed.

"Orochimaru, who did I think it was?"
