Chapter 2304 sure

"Um."

Regarding Jiraiya's unspeakable words and the irrepressible look of shock that appeared on his face, Sandai Hokage did not hide any more, and nodded straightforwardly.

Although there is no verbal affirmation, just this nod is already a positive confirmation.

Taki Chiba is still alive.

"Yes...is it?"

Hearing these absolutely certain words, Zilai also took a slight breath, and then said, "Is it that child's idea again?"

"Um!"

In this regard, the third Hokage nodded again, expressing affirmation.

Concealing the fact of being alive, and taking advantage of the Nine-Tails Rebellion to declare death is indeed the child Chiba's idea.

The purpose is to secretly track down Nobuhiko Uchiha.

Of course, there is also a sense of deterrence in it.

That's right, deterrence.

This is also to deter the other four major ninja villages, so as not to cause restlessness in other ninja villages because of the Nine Tails Rebellion.

After all, Konoha announced the death of a ninja of Chiba's level to the world, and it was still a bit unusual in the midst of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

From the perspective of other villages, after the death of the Fourth Hokage, the one who supported the deterrence of the village was undoubtedly the little monster Takichi who became famous in the third Ninja World War and was as dazzling as the Fourth Hokage. Ye is.

Even if this little monster is really dead, it is impossible to synchronize the death news with the Fourth Hokage at the same time.

It seems like telling all the other ninja villages that Konoha is now the weakest period in history, and its vitality has been seriously injured. Not to mention the death of a large number of ninjas, even two of the mainstays have been broken, come and attack us What does it look like?

Then, coupled with Qianye's appearance in Waicun's eyes that he can never guess what he wants to do, or what kind of backhand he is hiding, it is enough to create a kind of power that is different from force. psychological deterrent.

Let other ninja villages not be sure what card Konoha will play, or what kind of surprise this little Konoha monster will play, so that all ninja villages dare not act rashly.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As soon as the news of the death was announced, all the secret operations of the Ninja Village suddenly stopped.

The ninja world has entered the most peaceful period of the third ninja world war, which also gave Konoha a considerable respite. Until Yunyin came to make peace, other villages dared not move.

It was also during that time that he had to make a difficult decision.

Compromise to Yunyin.

Compromise with Yun Yin, who kidnapped the heir of the Hyuga clan and made the villain sue first.

Send the body of the head of the Hyuga Clan.

This kind of thing, to be honest, even the old man who has been in the shadow of the third generation of Hokage for so many years in the ninja world, at that time, when he heard the excessive request of Yun Yin, he also broke two office cards. table.

However, one hair can move the whole body.

At that time, the undercurrents in all Ninja Villages began to surge, and Taki Chiba did not appear for a long time, or in other words, disappeared as if he had really died. All Ninja Villages finally began to move around.

Yunyin Village has undoubtedly made a new start.

At that time, he could have recalled Qianye, as long as Qianye showed up, I am afraid that other ninja villages would be afraid to move, and even Yunyin might not dare to mention this matter again.

However, if Chiba is recalled, the matter of Uchiha Nobuhiko may be greatly affected.

This Uchiha Nobuhiko, known as the second Uchiha Madara, has already surpassed the threat of other ninja villages. In his matter, Sandai Hokage is very clear, and must not be ignored, let alone underestimated.

In other words, at that time, the three generations of Naruto were actually in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, in the end, Sandai Hokage still felt that the matter of Uchiha Nobuhiko was more important than the end of the Ninja World War, Yun Yin's making things difficult, and so on.

So, he didn't recall.

Can only compromise.

Xiang Yunyin lowered his head.

However, this time, he still underestimated the child Qianye after all. Unexpectedly, this child seemed to be a prophet, and directly defeated the army that threatened Yunyin, and then killed Yunyin's headquarters as quickly as possible. The fourth generation of Raikage who was killed was seriously injured, and the famous Kirabi who was the perfect Jinchuriki almost died in Chiba's hands.

At that time, when he received a secret report from a secret ninja who followed Uchiha Nobuhiko's intelligence, he couldn't describe what it felt like at that time.

Especially when Yun Yin sent the peace agreement that was almost the same as the surrender list and the secretly returned body of Nissei who died in place of his brother, and said that he would keep it a secret for Konoha, and that he would never do any wrongdoing again. Looking at the emissary Yunyin who spoke so humblely, he didn't even know what to say.

And Yun Yin suddenly made peace, and also cut off all Ninja Village's thoughts, and everything returned to the right track.

until now.

At the same time, whether Chiba is still alive is still a mystery in the ninja world.

And Konoha naturally kept it secret to the end.

As for why Jiraiya didn't know about it, this was his decision, and he didn't let Jiraiya know about it.

It's not that he doesn't trust Jiraiya, but that Jiraiya has been collecting information outside after all. Although he doesn't want to think so, as Hokage, the third Hokage must still sacrifice Jiraiya and be prepared for the information to be obtained by other villages.

Other information is nothing more than that, there is no way for it to be known.

Only Chiba's life and death cannot be known to Ninja Village except Yunyin.

This was what Qianye instructed Wan when he was leaving.

The fact that he is still alive must not be known to others, even if someone already knows it, they must be kept a secret, and the fact that he is still alive must not be made public.

That's why I didn't tell Ziraiya.

Doing so, although a little unreasonable, after all, Jiraiya is absolutely trustworthy, but this is a world full of darkness, and the Three Hokages must do this.

Chiba has become a very important person, no matter what the situation is.

Even, some information about him is the most important.

As for the fact that Chiba is still alive, there are only a handful of people who know about it, except for the secret ninja who followed up on the various secret information sent back by Chiba, and Kakashi who has always had a good relationship with Chiba. .

Even those few people who are Konoha's elder advisors don't know.

Or rather, don't know for sure.

"That's the end of this matter. Next, I'm going to prepare for the Chunin exam."

And thinking of this, the third Hokage didn't say anything more, so he said.

"Yes! Leave the matter of the wooden escape envoy and the opponent to me."

And when he heard this sound, Zilai also knew that it was good for him to know about this matter, he could not say anything, and there was no nonsense at the moment, so he nodded in response.

"Before that, please don't forget about your business."

In this regard, the third Hokage seemed to suddenly think of something, and said so.

"yes!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya also seemed to know what the Three Hokages were referring to, and after nodding his head, he responded with a flash and disappeared into the room.

please.

Zilai also!

And watching Zilai and leaving all the way, the third Hokage couldn't help flashing such a thought in his mind.

Then, he walked out of the room slowly.

The Chunin Exam, the third trial, is about to begin!
