Chapter 129 Ambition and Dispute (3rd update)

Even though Konoha has never used the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki on a frontal battlefield in the past few decades, this does not mean that Konoha does not need the Nine-Tails.

Not to mention that this in itself is a very strong deterrent, and more importantly, once the Kyuubi is acquired by other ninja villages, under the circumstances, this is the most important issue that will truly deter Konoha's status and safety. .

"Orochimaru and Uzumaki Menma, let the roots handle it. Those who betrayed need to be punished the most severely, especially the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. It would be most reasonable for me to arrange it myself."

And that was when Mito Kadoyan's words had just finished speaking.

Danzo Shimura, who was on the other side, took the lead and spoke.

It is obvious that the position of Hokage cannot be competed with Tsunade or Jiraiya. In terms of identity, strength, prestige, and many other conditions, no matter how confident Danzo is, he does understand that he cannot compete with the two for the time being, but Kyuubi If there is a problem, Danzo will definitely not let go.

As early as 12 years ago, Danzo had always wanted to bring Menma to the roots to cultivate it himself, but he had been blocked by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now that there is such a golden opportunity in front of him, Danzo is extremely You won’t miss it.

"In addition, there is the One-Tail Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village. I also think it is most appropriate to hand him over to the Nebu to be imprisoned directly. In this way, the risk of One-Tail rioting again can be controlled to a minimum."

And not only the Nine-Tails, but also Danzo, who had just captured the first tail of Sunagakure Village, clearly showed his greedy fangs.

In his opinion, as long as he can take this opportunity to successfully master the two tailed beasts, his ambition and his great cause will definitely be realized.

"Leave Orochimaru and Menma's issues to me, so there's no need to trouble Elder Shimura."

Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to look directly at Danzo and said without giving in at all.

Orochimaru didn't mention it, Jiraiya couldn't let Danzo handle the issue of Menma alone.

Doesn't Jiraiya still know what kind of existence this old guy is?

Back then, he was a crazy guy who could even assassinate his own close friends.

Jiraiya would never allow Danzo to get involved in Menma's affairs.

Even if his reason told Jiraiya that Menma's situation was already difficult to recover, as long as there was a slight possibility, Jiraiya would fight for it.

This is Jiraiya's 'conscience'.

"Hmph, leave it to you!? It is precisely because I left it to you for the past 12 years that such a problem occurred!! If Uzumaki Menma had been given to the root to be cultivated earlier, the current defection would have occurred Something!? The same goes for Orochimaru. Hiruzen himself was too soft-hearted back then, and so are you, Jiraiya. You have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and you can't continue to believe it now. is you."

Danzo snorted, looked at Jiraiya, and said in a very unkind tone.

This is a general rebuke.

Jiraiya's expression became a little ugly, but he had to admit that he and his teacher did have a share of responsibility in this.

But even so.

Jiraiya still couldn't give in on this matter.

He had already been indebted to Menma for the past 12 years. Kakashi also told him in a concise and concise manner about the conversation that took place at the venue. From Jiraiya's point of view, Menma cannot be entirely blamed for the incident.

The child is still young after all, isn't he?

Jiraiya felt that he had reasons and abilities, and had a better chance to correct this mistake.

For this reason, he couldn't let Danzo get involved.

That is the true sense of irreparable.

"I told you, leave Orochimaru and Menma's affairs to me!"

Jiraiya still shook his head and said firmly.

"Hmph, Jiraiya, you..."

Danzo's pupils flashed with a sinister look as he was about to say something.

"Okay, Jiraiya, let's leave this matter to Danzo for the time being. Whether it's Orochimaru or Uzumaki Menma, they are the key rebel ninjas that we in Konoha need to deal with most, and we must You have to figure it out before other ninja villages react, especially Uzumaki Menma's identity. You should know how important this is to us in Konoha. Your most important task at the moment is to find Tsunade."

Mito Monoyan in the opposite position took the lead and said in a deep voice.

"Of course, Danzo, you can't overdo it. Konoha can't stand the torment anymore. What you have to do at the root is to collect intelligence first, and then determine the corresponding plan. As for the first tail, it is still a joint effort between the ANBU and the interrogation department. The basic tasks of governance are still relatively heavy, so there is no need to assign them to other people.”

"Well, I think what Yan said makes sense. Jiraiya, don't be impatient. These matters will definitely have to wait until the fifth generation takes office before they can be formally dealt with. Of course, if you are willing to take over the position of Hokage now, That can be said differently.”

Xiaochun also said slowly after going to bed.

Jiraiya also frowned after hearing the words of the two advisors.

To be sure, Jiraiya certainly didn't want to see Danzo get involved in Menma's affairs, but looking at the current situation, it was really inappropriate for him to say anything more. Fortunately, there were two advisers in the middle to control it.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and nodded slowly, saying, "I understand. I will find Tsunade in the shortest possible time!"

Danzo would not have any objection.

In his opinion, the timing is not a problem at all. As long as his root takes over, he has the final say on what to do next! ?

Anyway, he has made up his mind to recapture Menma in the near future. As long as he can successfully control the Nine-Tails, no one in the entire Konoha or even the Ninja World can defy his will. He must correct Sarutobi Hiruzen's mistakes and prove that his teacher chose the wrong person!

And it was at the time when a high-level meeting was held in Konohagakure.

On the other side.

Menma, who left Konohagakure, followed Orochimaru and his party and headed north. After spending several hours, they crossed the border of the Land of Fire and directly entered the border of the Land of Fields adjacent to it.

This is one of Orochimaru's important bases.

The Otogakure, Orochimaru's most important force, currently exists in this country. In the past, it relied on Orochimaru's special training and the financial support of the Land Country to continue to grow. Now, after conspiring with the Sand Ninja to attack the Hidden Leaf Village, the true face of the Otogakure and the people behind it will inevitably be made public. If Orochimaru does not take some necessary measures, the Otogakure will most likely die directly.

A force established by a traitor who dared to attack Konoha and killed the Third Hokage, no matter how cowardly Konoha is, it is impossible for such a ninja village to continue to exist in such a swagger.
