Chapter 1145 Reorganization
Now Daimaru feels more and more that he made the right choice in saving Jiraiya.
After becoming stronger, Uchiha Sasuke gets closer to the truth, and the harder it becomes to estimate his next action pattern. He cannot always dream of building an "information cocoon" to guide his thinking tendencies. The more he calculates, the more loopholes he will have. Once played, If you take it off, it will be too late to tie yourself up.
Now that we can stop Uchiha Sasuke, we can only place our hope on Uzumaki Naruto, but this yellow-haired guy has a higher degree of surprise, and the one who can really have a real impact on him is Umino Iruka. , Jiraiya was waiting for a few people.
In comparison, the mature and sophisticated Jiraiya is undoubtedly much easier to deal with. Although the Leaf Village has the blessing of his strength, it also puts a lot of pressure on Daimaru and Sunagakure Village, but compared with the benefits gained from being friendly with him , especially if it can indirectly affect Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, the advantages undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages.
The key question now is how to let Uzumaki Naruto leave Konoha Village to do tasks at this turbulent moment.
Konoha Village suffered heavy losses in an attack not long ago, and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village is said to have also suffered an accident. The specific information has yet to be verified, but the current situation of the ninja world undoubtedly does not show that although the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization has been defeated and killed , but the activities have not stopped, and the attempts to collect tailed beasts and jinchūriki continue.
The furious fourth-generation Raikage not only responded to the Sixth-generation Hokage's initiative to convene a five-kage conference, but also sent an envoy to strongly demand the formation of a ninja coalition to completely wipe out the rain country, the nest of the hostile camp, and liquidate the "Akatsuki" organization. residual power.
This is a good thing, but not so great for Shimura Danzo who wants to delay the development of the situation.
The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was a bit solemn.
Most of the elders, including Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu, supported the Sixth Generation's suggestion to prevent Uzumaki Naruto from leaving the village and protect him in a secret place.
There is no doubt that the previous Uzumaki Naruto did show outstanding strength and played a vital role in the battle to defeat Nagato. However, it was not as good as the destined trajectory of turning the tide and supporting Nagato. The building is about to fall, Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo obviously share a lot of credit, and Suna Ninja Daimaru also has a lot of presence.
In addition, the scene of the Kyuubi outbreak also brought back many people's memories of the tragedy more than ten years ago.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is indeed a trustworthy Konoha ninja, but whether he can safely control the Nine-Tails is still an open question.
The action proposed by Danzo Shimura to restrict the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was of course not really for his sake, but to stir up the topic and prepare for how to arrange Uzumaki Naruto and Team 7 in the future.
At present, the conservative thinking prevails in Konoha Village. Most of the elders and advisors still prefer to keep Uzumaki Naruto from running away for no special reason.
Even the fifth generation of Hokage, Tsunade, tended to support Shimura Danzo this time.
When Nagato attacked the village, the power of the Rinnegan was so terrifying that even the unruly and arrogant Kumo ninja suffered a great loss. He wanted to find allies to fight the enemy together and held conservative and conservative views. Konoha ninjas who have safe ideas must be in the majority.
Only a few people, including Jiraiya, Kakashi Hatake, and Sakura Haruno, were not willing to be confined to Konoha Village.
This time, it was also the biggest disagreement between the newly-involved Hokage and Jiraiya.
"If it's just to stay in Konoha Village and be a tortoise, why do I have to work hard to teach him for three years to give him the strength to protect himself? Although Naruto is a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, don't forget, he is also A legitimate Konoha ninja is not a combat weapon..."
Jiraiya rarely had head-on conflicts with other people when it came to the affairs of Konoha Village, but this time it was different. It was about the prophesied "child of destiny", so he had to be cautious.
"Jiraiya, I know you may not trust the Sixth Generation's behavior, but you have to believe in the integrity of the current Hokage..."
Mito Monoyan advised with a serious look,
"Now is not the time to be impulsive. With us here, you don't have to worry about Naruto being treated unfairly..."
"This is not an excuse. I can understand that everyone still doesn't trust Naruto. However, I have confidence in him. He is an amazing guy. Maybe in the future, the village will still rely on him to protect..."
Jiraiya retorted stubbornly,
"The 'Will of Fire' advocated by the Sandaime is endless and needs fresh buds to contribute to the village..."
"However, Naruto is too young and not stable enough. Now he is still embarrassed..."
Tsunade was silent at the meeting. After turning to bed, Koharu looked around and tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
"There are a large number of jonin in the village such as Asuma, Kakashi, and Gai. They are not worthy of your trust. They must place their hopes on a child who is not yet sixteen years old?"
"Well?"
Jiraiya, who was a little anxious, was speechless. After scratching his ears and cheeks for a moment, he took a deep breath and said solemnly,
"For ninjas, age has never been a problem. Gaara from Sunagakure Village is about the same age as Naruto. He is also a Jinchuuriki. He has been a Kazekage for almost two years. Don't you think the Fifth Kazekage is not good enough?" Are you competent?"
Whether it is his own affinity, the support of Daimaru and his siblings, or the support of Chiyo, Maki and others, the prosperous Sunagakure Village has become stronger and stronger, which undoubtedly proves Gaara's ability, even if he is a rubber stamp who can respond to every request. , also shows that he is a puppet who does a good job. As the "shadow" of a village, being able to lead the village through the crisis and smoothly move towards the future is an incredible achievement.
Danzo Shimura, who had been watching with cold eyes, tapped the table with his fingers. The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention. In the center of several lines of sight, the Sixth Hokage coughed twice, cleared his throat and said:
"I'm not so confused that I need to be wary of a young man in his teens, and it's not that I doubt his strength. I saw it some time ago. He is indeed very strong, but..."
After a pause, Danzo Shimura turned towards the direction of the white-haired "Sannin", his tone turned cold, and he said sternly,
"Since you keep saying that Uzumaki Naruto is also a qualified ninja and needs to be treated equally with other compatriots instead of looking at him differently, then I would like to remind you that as a ninja, isn't it natural to obey the orders of superiors and even the Hokage? What happened in the past I won't pursue it. You can count it yourself. How many times did Uzumaki Naruto refuse the tasks assigned by the village? There is also a vacancy in Class 7. Because of his nonsense, he has not been able to implement the supplement. This is a What should a qualified ninja do?"
The third generation of Hokage often makes arbitrary decisions and behaves wantonly, which is a long-standing tradition. I won’t mention Orochimaru who defected. Tsunade left the village without saying goodbye because of her fear of blood in her early years. If it weren’t for her identity, Specially, relying on the status of a direct member of the Senju clan and the protection of the third generation, it will not be so smooth. Also, Jiraiya, in order to find the "child of destiny", wants to bring Orochimaru and Tsunade back to the Leaf Village. Regardless of rekindling the relationship between comrades, traveling in the ninja world for many years and never coming back doesn't seem like a responsible attitude.
The most worrying "golden flash" Namikaze Minato died young not long after becoming the fourth generation Hokage. Among his students, Uchiha Obito has been confirmed to have faked his death and defected, and Hatake Kakashi also died in his early years. Caused a lot of trouble.
Many years later, this "glorious tradition" reappeared in Team 7 led by Kakashi Hatake.
Uchiha Sasuke essentially defected, and Uzumaki Naruto was in a lot of trouble. Only Haruno Sakura was a little normal and didn't cause trouble.
In the huge Konoha Village, how many ninjas are so willful?
After going through three generations in total in their minds, Jiraiya and Tsunade couldn't bear to tell lies, and the other elders and advisors also shook their heads helplessly.
It is true that ninjas cannot be judged by common sense, but there are too many surprises, which is not a good evaluation.
Jiraiya, whose heart was racing, was about to argue a few words when he heard a burst of noise coming from outside, including the ANBU on duty scolding him, and the familiar loud voice of Uzumaki Naruto.
Such a turn of events made Jiraiya's expression suddenly uncontrollable, and even Tsunade couldn't help stroking her forehead and lamenting.
"As soon as I said this, this... future star hit the gun. It's really..."
Even Shimura Danzo, who initiated the topic, couldn't help but raise a contemptuous curve on his lips.
"Even a strategically important place like the Hokage's House has to be forced into! By the way, he is not weak, and three or two ANBU really can't stop him..."
The attitude of wanting to label Uzumaki Naruto as powerful but reckless made Jiraiya unable to sit still. Just as he was about to get up to ask what happened, he saw a young man with messy golden hair. He pushed open the door suddenly and asked bluntly:
"I heard that there is new information about Uchiha Sasuke. Can we set out to recover him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blond boy couldn't help but be startled when he saw several people in the room discussing something.
"Huh? Excuse me, I just want to ask the Sixth Generation if there are any related tasks for me to complete..."
"Naruto, now is not the time to talk about this, please step back first..."
"Eh?"
Uzumaki Naruto looked reluctant and wanted to say more, but Shimura Danzo stopped Jiraiya's move to save Uzumaki Naruto's image, waved his hand and said:
"Not to mention where you heard it from, it makes me doubt the village's ability to keep intelligence confidential..."
After a pause, the Sixth Hokage continued to ask,
"The village has an effective and mature response plan for dealing with rebellious ninjas. Basically, the ANBU is responsible for cleaning up. There seems to be no need for you to take over..."
"Sasuke is not a traitor, he is just deceived..."
A somewhat unconvinced Uzumaki Naruto retorted loudly.
"A defector who is deceived is not a defector, but should he be a victim?"
Danzo Shimura responded with a sneer,
"If there is such a simple logic, there is no need to pay for doing wrong things, and the established order cannot be maintained..."
"But but..."
The impatient Uzumaki Naruto wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He was very contagious and persuasive. With his super empathy, he made every villain change his mind. It was enough to show that the blond boy was not bad at words, but Structured debate has never been his thing.
"Naruto……"
Jiraiya, whose face turned cold, glanced at the ANBU who was kneeling not far away due to his failure to stop him, waiting for disposal, and advised earnestly and feebly:
"Leave this to me. I know what you think. I will definitely not disappoint you..."
"Oh well!"
No matter how unhappy he was, Uzumaki Naruto was still willing to listen to Jiraiya's words. Later, Haruno Sakura, who was a step behind, pulled his teammates who were chattering, pressed his head, bowed and apologized, and then left the Hokage's house.
"The Sixth Generation..."
Determined to smooth things over for Uzumaki Naruto's recklessness and Jiraiya's embarrassment, Tsunade was interrupted by Shimura Danzo as soon as she spoke.
"Don't worry, the order of the village is not set up to punish young people who are worried about their former teammates. I'm not stingy enough to put small shoes on a kid who talks but has no intentions, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, the Sixth Hokage said slowly:
"The accident just now makes me a little worried. If we can't dispel Uzumaki Naruto's adventurous ideas, no matter how tight we arrange the guards, we won't be able to stop him. Blocking is worse than sparing. Since there is no complete method, let's change our thinking!"
Next, Danzo Shimura revealed his true thoughts.
The reconstruction of Team 7 has not been smooth. Uchiha Sasuke's weight in the hearts of Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura is too heavy, and there is no other peer who can replace him. The forced formation of Team 7 is not worth it.
Rather than grinding in like this, it is better to regroup. Anyway, Kakashi Hatake spends too much time leading students to complete tasks, and it is impossible to have tasks suitable for their team for him to "gain experience".
"Hatake Kakashi has another appointment, let the acting captain Tenzo take charge, reorganize the seventh team, and form a strengthened team..."
As for whether Team 7 can be reorganized, that was already a matter after the Sixth Generation "died heroically" for the Leaf Village, and it was out of his control anyway.
"Um...Tenzo..."
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then realized that "Captain Yamato" who possesses Wood Release is indeed a good candidate.
"Is this a condition for Naruto to retain limited freedom?"
"I hope you can make him understand that Konoha ninjas not only have Team 7, but his partners are not only Uchiha Sasuke who has defected, but also many compatriots who are looking forward to his performance! I heard that his goal is to become the Naruto, the way he is now, will only make him farther and farther away from the position of Hokage..."
…
While Shimura Danzo was working hard to delay his plan, Daimaru behind the scenes was worrying about Nagato's filthy earth body's reincarnation eye and the heretic demon.
Uchiha Sasuke captured the "Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki" and had to use the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals to seal it into the heretic demon. But the Samsara Eye possessed by the dirty earth body, when using the Magic Lantern Body Technique and the Elephant Turn Technique , it's relatively smooth, but driving the heretic golem is a bit stumbling, and it seems to be missing some key elements.
