Chapter 153 Reserves

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"The sound and shadow? Where did the sound and shadow come from in the Hidden Sound Village? They didn't have the sound and shadow there before when I went there." Jiraiya asked curiously.

The third generation took a puff of cigarette: "The inauguration ceremony was held recently. It is the only village outside the five great ninja villages that publicly claims to have a shadow."

Jiraiya nodded, thinking there was nothing strange about it.

"I went there before..."

Jiraiya told the Third Hokage everything about the prosperity of Otogakure Village and everything he saw and heard.

"The Otogakure Village is developing very rapidly. It almost monopolizes all the tasks of several nearby small countries. With the addition of Uchiha's catering, Otogakure Village is no longer a small village."

"I suspect that Otogakure is a puppet supported by Uchiha."

Sandai guessed.

Jiraiya laughed: "Old man, instead of guessing, why not just ask Orochimaru?"

Sandai's expression changed.

Then he asked Jiraiya seriously: "Jiraiya, let me ask you now, do you want to be Hokage? Answer me seriously."

For the third generation, if Jiraiya is willing to take over as Hokage, he will definitely not be so tired. Needless to say, Jiraiya's loyalty to the village.

He is his apprentice and the master of the fourth generation Namikaze Minato. His strength is also top notch.

Except that people have no integrity.

Although there is no guarantee that Uchiha can be contained, the safety of Konoha should be guaranteed.

"Me?" Jiraiya was startled at first, and then saw that the Third Hokage's face looked serious and it didn't look like he was joking.

He also slowly frowned and started thinking.

He paced back and forth a few times and glanced at the pile of documents on his desk.

Pictures of drinking and having fun flashed through his mind, and pictures of him sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.

It flashed back to Namikaze Minato's sacrifice for the village.

Jiraiya sighed: "Sorry, old man."

Although he had expected it, the Third Hokage still felt uncomfortable hearing Jiraiya's positive rejection.

The power of the shadow of one village in Konoha is confusing. At that time, I was also ambitious and wanted to do something and develop Konoha to the strongest level.

Later I discovered that I had done many things wrong.

In the end, I found out that this Hokage was really tired.

If I had known...

Many images flashed through Sandai's mind, including Nawaki, Kato Dan, Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, Orochimaru...

The final scene freezes on the image of Orochimaru.

The Third Hokage's expression no longer hesitated.

He said directly: "I have prepared what Orochimaru wants. How can I send it to him? I want to see him."

Jiraiya seemed to have guessed what the Third Hokage was thinking: "Old man, have you thought about it? Maybe Tsunade is good too."

The Third Hokage shook his head, Jiraiya did not fully understand what he meant.

Although he wanted to recall Orochimaru, he was preparing to be the fifth generation Hokage.

But now, it is necessary to have more vitality as a reserve to fight against Uchiha.

After all, a Jiraiya is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?

Orochimaru is back, and the Sandaime Hokage can feel more at ease.

As for Tsunade, Jiraiya said.

Tsunade was originally the most suitable candidate to be Hokage.

Just look at the tag on her body and you will know that she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, unlike Naruto, the secretive son of the Fourth Hokage.

Tsunade is "the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the founder of Konoha Village", and this matter is completely open to the public.

This also means that she is the purest "Konoha blood". In terms of Hongae Masaru, you can't find anyone better than her if you turn over the entire Konoha.

He is also one of the three ninjas and the apprentice of the Third Hokage.

A well-known medical ninja throughout the ninja world, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu can be said to be the best in the world.

If Tsunade succeeded to the throne of Hokage, how many lives could her medical ninjutsu have saved during wartime.

It's a pity that in a single thought, she acquiesced to Danzo's actions, causing Tsunade to break down and run away from Konoha. I haven't been back for many years.

The third Hokage often regretted why he indulged Danzo in the first place, or maybe he was greedy for the little power in his hands.

At the beginning, Konoha's White Fang was powerful and full of honors, but White Fang was the representative of the family faction.

Although the Hatake family is only a small one, the Hatake family's appeal is not small.

If White Fang takes the position of Hokage, he will definitely support the family that has a good relationship with them.

The "de-familialization" of three generations will fail.

Therefore, when White Fang's mission failed, the Third Generation acquiesced to Danzo's public opinion offensive.

The purpose was to dampen White Fang's energy and give White Fang a blow.

Unexpectedly, White Fang had such a strong sense of honor that he committed suicide directly.

The Third Hokage was unexpected.

If the third generation hadn't acquiesced, how could the success or failure of a mission cause uproar in the village?

How could Danzo do such a thing without the third generation's acquiescence.

The third generation also regretted it, but fortunately, another Namikaze Minato appeared in Konoha later.

Namikaze Minato was an orphan. He was neither born into a famous family nor had any prominent background. He relied on his own strength to get through.

And he married Kushina Uzumaki.

Uzumaki Kushina is the orphan of the Uzumaki clan. Although the country of Uzumaki is gone, there is still a lot of money left.

Even several streets in Konoha belong to Kushina.

Such a person, with high strength, no background, and a rich wife who is still a Jinchuuriki, is the third generation's most promising candidate for Hokage.

Unfortunately, subsequent developments were beyond his control.

The fourth generation of the Kyuubi Rebellion died unexpectedly, and the Jinchuriki also died together, although the Kyuubi was re-sealed into Naruto.

But Naruto was too young and could not form a fighting force for a while.

Konoha Village also lost a large number of elites, and at this time, Danzo suggested that the Nine-Tails was probably controlled by the Uchiha clan.

Because Uchiha was the most suspicious at that time.

And after Tobirama's teachings, the Third Hokage has always been prejudiced against Uchiha.

Finally, he acquiesced to Danzo's series of actions against the Uchiha clan.

Over the years, the weakening of Uchiha has never stopped.

Later, Uchiha Natsuki suddenly emerged, and the entire Uchiha developed rapidly.

Well now, apart from Jiraiya, Konoha has no good general who can compete with him.

It is impossible for the chiefs of the major ninja clans to serve Konoha wholeheartedly.

There was Kakashi who was useful before, and Obito had his eyes gouged out, but now he is completely depressed.

Compared with Uchiha, the entire Konoha is in a state of decline.

In terms of scheming and resourcefulness, Jiraiya Tsunade is completely incomparable to Orochimaru.

In terms of ability, Orochimaru is not lacking, and Orochimaru is an all-rounder with almost no shortcomings.

However, in the eyes of the third generation, Orochimaru is a person who has no so-called good and evil, and has no bottom line at all.

At the beginning, the third generation also felt that Orochimaru would not be controlled by him.

He wouldn't even be swayed by him or turn to Danzo, so he chose Namikaze Minato.

In this situation, it seems that only Orochimaru is the most suitable person.

Orochimaru returns to the village, and the third generation can take advantage of the fact that he still has some energy to investigate whether Orochimaru can take over as Hokage.

If Orochimaru can't do it, in the end he will have to push Danzo out based on what happened back then.

In exchange for Tsunade's understanding, let Tsunade be Hokage.

After all, the current Danzo is useless except to put him on guard.

In the eyes of the third generation, Uchiha Natsuki is a very smart person, more cunning than smart.

Natsuki's external performance has been inconsistent all day, but since his appearance, every decision he makes is unexpected.

But every time it strengthens the Uchiha clan or weakens Konoha.

To deal with such a person, Jiraiya and Tsunade are no match for Natsuki even if they are tied together.

Perhaps only Orochimaru's character can compete with Natsuki.

Of course, if nothing can be done.

Hokage's position is Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, anyone can sit down, and he will feel at ease.

If you are here, you can help me. If you are not here, you can help me.

Before he dies, he needs to pull out the nail that is Danzo.
