Chapter 116 Hokage Inauguration Ceremony (Part 3, Part 4)
Iron country.
A certain home wine shop.
Night has fallen, but the lights are still bright here.
"Jiraiya-sama, come here and touch my heart."
The beautiful woman in cheongsam leaned on his arms and said Jiao Didi.
"Okay, okay!"
Jiraiya, whose face was flushed with wine, reached out his hand excitedly.
"She's so mediocre, there's nothing interesting about her."
The beauty in kimono next to him grabbed his wrist and said with a smile, "My body is even warmer."
As she spoke, she also pulled up her collar, revealing a large area of fair skin.
"Jiraiya-sama, look at her bullying me."
The beauty in cheongsam raised her slender legs and rubbed Jiraiya's thigh.
Her cheongsam was slit up to her hips, a move that showed off her sexiness.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! It's all there! It's all there!"
Jiraiya's eyes were widened and drool was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded.
"Where did the toad come from?"
The beauty in cheongsam first noticed the toad appearing on the table.
"You guys get out."
Jiraiya reluctantly let go of their graceful bodies.
"Eh?"
The two beauties looked at him in confusion.
How could anyone run away from the beginning?
Are you still a man?
"go out."
Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "I'll call you guys later."
"All right."
The two beauties arranged their clothes and left the private room.
"Jiraiya-sama."
Toad said hello.
"You'd better be in trouble."
Jiraiya glared at it dissatisfied and said, "I'm very angry now."
"Two things."
Toad didn't pay attention to his tone, "They are all very important things."
"oh?"
Jiraiya shook his head vigorously, sobering up a little.
"The first thing is that your teammate, Lady Tsunade, has become the fifth Hokage."
Toad answered.
"ah?"
Jiraiya subconsciously picked his ears and asked, "Are you saying it again?"
"Just this morning, Konoha Village has issued an announcement, and it is absolutely true."
Toad repeated.
"It's... incredible."
Jiraiya scratched his head.
In fact, before Namikaze Minato died, Sarutobi Hiruzen once sent him a letter.
The content is very simple, let him be the fifth generation Hokage. If he behaves inappropriately, go and persuade Tsunade.
Jiraiya was naturally inappropriate.
Because after becoming the fifth Hokage, he would no longer be able to find the prophesied child in the ninja world.
After all, as the shadow of a village, it is impossible to be away for a long time.
He could only go to Tsunade.
As a result, he was beaten violently, and then nothing happened.
They haven't seen each other for several years.
Now that I suddenly heard that Tsunade had volunteered to become the fifth Hokage, it was just as outrageous as hearing that she had quit gambling.
"And it's an unusual method."
Toad thought for a while and said.
Like White Zetsu, there are many toads in Konoha Village.
They all send messages to each other.
The battle at the roots is too fierce, and they naturally feel it.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiraiya asked confused.
"It was Tsunade-sama who forced me into the palace."
Toad explained, "Also participating are the Hyuga clan, Ino Shikacho and other ninja clans."
"What?!"
Jiraiya was stunned from ear to ear.
Is this still Tsunade?
Could it be that someone is pretending?
Not possible either.
Disguise cannot escape the eyes of others.
"Looks like I have to go back."
Jiraiya touched his chin and asked, "When is the inauguration ceremony?"
When a former teammate becomes Hokage, no matter what the reason is, he has to support him.
"the day after tomorrow."
Toad said.
"That's in time."
Jiraiya nodded and asked, "What's the other thing?"
"The elder wants you to go back to Miaomu Mountain."
Toad's tone became serious, "It has something to do with the prophecy."
Jiraiya's expression suddenly became solemn when he heard this.
The Great Master is the Great Toad Immortal and the real ruler of Miaomu Mountain.
It has lived for thousands of years, has unfathomable strength, and is still friends with the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Of course, the most impressive thing is its ability to predict.
Although there are only a few words, everything predicted by it will happen.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jiraiya stood up and said, "Go back to Mount Miaomu and ask Boss Fukasaku to use the counter-psychic technique."
"OK."
With a bang, the toad disappeared.
After Jiraiya waited for a moment, he disappeared.
When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived at Mt. Miaomu.
Jiraiya took a deep breath and felt his whole body relax.
Miaomu Mountain is one of the three sacred places for psychic beasts, located in a special space.
Back then, he also broke in accidentally.
After a series of training, he reluctantly learned the magic and immortal mode.
He grew from an ordinary jounin to an elite jounin.
Because of this, in his mind, Miaomu Mountain's status is no worse than that of Konoha Village.
Besides that, there is another reason.
Son of prophecy.
The Great Toad Immortal once told him a prophecy.
A son of prophecy will appear in the ninja world. If he is guided, true peace can be achieved in the ninja world.
But without guidance, the children of prophecy will go to extremes and bring destruction.
And the teacher of the children of prophecy is none other than himself.
For this reason, Jiraiya put most of his energy into finding the Son of Prophecy.
Even Konoha Village would only go back in times of crisis.
Such as Ninja World War.
But unfortunately, there is no way to rescue in time in emergencies.
For example, the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
If he had been in Konoha Village, perhaps his most proud student, Minato Namikaze, would not have died.
Before that, Jiraiya even regarded him as a candidate for the Son of Prophecy.
But now that he is dead, he cannot be the son of prophecy.
"Little Jiraiya."
The familiar voice brought Jiraiya back to reality.
The speaker was a toad that walked upright.
It is like a human child of several years old, with a green body and a gray robe.
"Boss Fukasaku, long time no see."
Jiraiya said with a smile.
Mount Myoki is home to many toads.
According to the division of power and strength, the Great Toad Immortal is the first echelon.
The couple Fukasaku and Shima are the second echelon, elder-level toads.
In the third echelon, there are Toads such as Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro who are often summoned by Jiraiya to fight.
The remaining toads are all smaller and belong to the last echelon.
"Let's go."
Fukasaku Sennin smiled and said, "Don't keep me waiting too long."
One person and one toad came to the temple deep in Miaomu Mountain.
There was a huge toad sitting in the hall.
It was orange all over, looked quite old, and its skin was full of wrinkles.
Wearing a hat that looks like a doctor's hat on his head, there is a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, the largest one is engraved with the word "oil".
It closed its eyes and was already asleep.
"Master!"
Jiraiya yelled with all his strength.
He had met the Great Toad Immortal several times and already understood the process.
Next, I will definitely ask who is coming.
"Who is coming?"
The Great Toad Sage reluctantly opened his eyes, stared at Jiraiya, and asked.
"Jiraiya."
"What's coming?"
"Jiraiya."
"What's going on?"
"Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya felt a little broken.
Sir, why don't you just rest?
Is it fun to play like this every time?
"It turns out to be little Jiraiya."
The Great Toad Immortal sighed leisurely and said, "As I get older, my memory is also poor."
"Master."
Jiraiya automatically ignored its words and asked about business, "You asked me to come. Has the prophecy of the Son of Prophecy changed again?"
"This time it's not the child of prophecy, it's Miaomushan."
The Great Toad Immortal said slowly, "Miaomu Mountain will usher in a situation that has not changed for thousands of years."
"What's the big picture?"
Fukasaku Sennin couldn't help but ask.
The Great Toad Immortal didn't tell it any prophecies before, but when he heard about Miaomu Mountain, he couldn't help but be curious.
"destroy."
The Great Toad Immortal replied.
"Ah? How is this possible?"
Jiraiya and Fukasaku Sennin were both shocked.
Looking at the entire ninja world, who else has the ability to destroy Mount Miaomu?
Unless the Six Paths Immortal is resurrected.
"Any tips?"
Jiraiya asked quickly.
"New Holy Land."
The Great Toad Immortal exhaled and said, "It is the fourth holy land after Miaomu Mountain, Ryudi Cave and Shigu Forest."
"It's actually a new holy land?"
Fukasaku Sennin was horrified.
This is possible.
The Slug Immortal and the White Snake Immortal are no worse than the Big Toad Immortal.
Then the new holy land will also have new immortals.
The strength of both sides is at least equal.
"Why does the new holy land want to destroy Mt. Myoboku?"
Jiraiya asked in confusion.
"Some psychic beasts are inherently evil, such as snakes."
The Great Toad Immortal paused and said, "We must find them in advance and kill them."
"Little Jiraiya, during your travels in the ninja world, have you found any powerful psychic beasts?"
Fukasaku Sennin said with a solemn expression.
"There are indeed some."
Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "Like the Sansho Fish from Amegakure Village, they are very powerful."
"Since it is a holy land, the number will not be small."
Fukasaku Sennin also knew about Sansho Fish.
After all, it was indeed at the scene when the Sannin fought Hanzo.
"really."
Jiraiya frowned and said, "If it is a powerful psychic beast clan, I have no impression at the moment."
"Not urgent."
A kind smile appeared on the face of the Great Toad Immortal, "Just pay more attention when you look for the Son of Prophecy in the future."
"OK."
Jiraiya agreed without hesitation.
When it comes to the safety of Miaomu Mountain, he is naturally bound to do so.
"Then I'll trouble you, little Jiraiya."
The Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes again and breathed quickly and calmly.
"Little Jiraiya, you're here, let's have a meal before leaving."
Fukasaku Sennin smiled and said, "I'll ask my child to prepare some food for you. It will be absolutely fresh."
"I can't do it! I can't do it!"
Jiraiya was so frightened that he took several steps back.
Are those colorful insect dishes meant for human consumption?
A long time ago, he tried it once, and the result was vomiting and diarrhea, and he collapsed.
"Farewell!"
Jiraiya ran away without hesitation.
…
Saturday.
Today is the scheduled succession ceremony for the Fifth Hokage.
A village vote was held in the morning, and the results speak for themselves, with unanimous approval.
Tsunade's reputation in the Leaf Village is evident.
Although she drank and gambled, she was absolutely unrivaled as a medical ninja.
The succession ceremony was finalized at 2 p.m.
After that, there will be a Jonin meeting.
Some people are looking forward to this meeting, while others are afraid.
For example, Koharu and Mito Menyan are transferred to another bed.
Although Tsunade didn't reveal how to deal with it, she didn't look for them even once in the past three days.
This is obviously not normal.
As Hokage advisors, they know the operation of Konoha Village inside and out.
After Namikaze Minato took office, he often came to ask them for advice.
But Tsunade didn't even see them.
That's right, even when they took the initiative to see her, they were rejected.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly an ominous sign.
But they did not sit still and contacted allies such as the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan to help them when the time came.
At least he had to keep the Hokage advisor.
The only pity was that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to be shocked and didn't see them when they came to visit.
Otherwise, it would be easier if he came forward.
Hokage's office.
Aburame Shiki yawned.
He looked at Tsunade, who was lying comfortably on the Hokage's chair, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Are you the Hokage, or am I the Hokage?
Why can I help you revise your speech?
"Are you tired? Sit on the teacher's lap."
Tsunade patted her thigh, and the flesh of her thigh swayed slightly.
To treat hemophobia, they would hug each other from time to time, sit on their laps or something, it didn't matter at all.
And Tsunade always treated him like a child.
Of course, it was mainly Aburame Shiki who was helping her.
Just then, there was a knock on the window.
Both Tsunade and Aburame Shiki looked at the window not far away.
I saw a middle-aged man with white hair wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil" and a red coat, squatting at the window.
"Jiraiya?"
Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned.
"Tsunade!"
Jiraiya jumped into the office and approached her with excitement on his face.
"roll!"
A tic-tac-toe appeared on Tsunade's forehead, and she punched it without hesitation.
There was a bang.
Jiraiya flew backwards and was embedded in the wall.
Aburame Shiki waved away the flying dust with an expressionless expression.
"Hiss! It hurts!"
Jiraiya struggled to get up and said with nostalgia, "It still smells familiar."
"What? Found your prophesied son?"
Tsunade asked with a slight hum.
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head and said, "Don't you want to be Hokage? I must come back."
"Well."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said, "Do me a favor, I don't like those two Hokage advisors."
"You don't want me to be the Hokage's advisor, do you? That's not possible!"
Jiraiya quickly waved his hand and said, "You know me, Yulong, the sea is my destination."
Aburame Zhihui glanced at him subconsciously.
Two thousand dollars for Jiraiya?
"I'm not asking you to be the Hokage Advisor, but I want to cancel the Hokage Advisor position."
Tsunade explained, "Just support me."
When she was considering becoming a Hokage consultant before, she did think about Jiraiya.
But he will definitely not agree.
For the sake of the child of prophecy, he would refuse even the position of Hokage, let alone the position of Hokage advisor.
However, as one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya's strength and prestige are not inferior to hers.
With his support, the resistance from Koharu and Mito Kazuo's side will be greatly reduced.
"Cancel? You have really changed. You were not so radical before."
Jiraiya was stunned, "So, it's true that you forced me into the palace?"
"nature."
Tsunade's eyes narrowed and she asked, "Do you have any objections?"
"The old man has worked hard for half his life, why don't you give him a dignified exit?"
To be honest, when Jiraiya first heard the news, he blamed Tsunade a little.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was their teacher and was kind to them.
If he continues to do this, he shouldn't be forced into the palace so hard that he won't be able to step down.
"I also wanted to help him look decent, but he didn't give me a chance."
Tsunade threw a folder casually and said, "Read it yourself."
Jiraiya caught it, opened it curiously, and looked at it.
After a few seconds, his expression became serious.
"Confused."
After Jiraiya read it, he said sadly, "How could the old man allow this kind of experiment?"
He now understood Tsunade's behavior.
Although her character is not extreme, she will naturally get angry when encountering something like the Mudun Experiment that touches her bottom line.
After all, Mu Dun has an unimaginable significance to her.
"How is the old man doing now?"
Jiraiya sighed and asked.
"Retirement and retirement."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "This is the best ending."
"Too."
Jiraiya nodded and said, "He has been in the position of Hokage for too long, and he really deserves a rest."
When the village of Konoha was established, there were five generations of Hokage.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, reigned the longest.
At this time, Danzo Shimura spoke.
Where in the world can there be a sixty-year-old Hokage to assist him?
He only dreamed of Sarutobi Hiruzen dying suddenly.
"Follow me to attend the Hokage succession ceremony and the Jonin meeting later."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she remembered something and said, "This is my student, Aburame Shiki."
"Uncle Jiraiya."
Aburame Shiki saw this and said hello.
"You actually accepted a disciple? It's really rare."
Jiraiya looked up and down Aburame Shiki and said with emotion, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Tsunade, you really feel strange to me."
"People change all the time."
Tsunade glanced at him and said.
"Indeed."
Jiraiya thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
When he was young, he was called a Shinobi, but now he can't even understand the root of it.
"By the way, do you have any news about Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya's face showed anticipation.
"No."
Tsunade shook her head.
She knew that Jiraiya had always wanted to bring Orochimaru back to Kimura.
But this is impossible.
She knew Orochimaru's character very well.
Once you decide on something, you will never change it.
"Hokage-sama."
Mao Yue Xiyan's voice came from outside the door, "The inauguration ceremony is ready."
"Let's go."
Tsunade stood up and put on the white god robe.
The words 'Fifth Hokage' were flying on the back.
"Manuscript."
Aburame Shiki reminded.
"Too much trouble!"
Tsunade got a headache just looking at the dense words.
She pushed open the door and came to the railing of the Hokage Building.
Outside is a group of villagers in darkness.
When she came out, there was a burst of cheers.
Many ninjas also noticed Jiraiya, and they were all surprised.
In this case, except for Orochimaru who defected, all the Sannin of Konoha can be said to be gathered together.
Tsunade raised her hand.
The voice suddenly became quieter.
Everyone looked at her, ready to listen to her speech.
"I, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage!"
Tsunade pulled her hand back and said, "That's it."
Two in one.
