Chapter 144 Jiraiya: I rejected Qing Shui, it’s bad!
Jiraiya, who returned to Konoha, was shocked and stunned after hearing Konoha's recent show of weakness towards other Ogakure villages.
It's really crazy...
First, he reprimanded the hidden villages with such a strong attitude, which attracted a wave of hatred and anger, and then he turned around 180 degrees...
Even the toughest second-generation Hokage has never done this kind of operation!
In those days, Senju Tobirama, although he never said a soft word to the outside world, he always showed off his muscles and warned the enemy not to offend the village.
It means not causing trouble, but it is also not afraid of trouble - the important prerequisite is not to cause trouble first!
But now Konoha looks like a war version of a female brat...
First, he used sarcastic words to arouse the anger of every village, and then showed his weak and fragile status. Isn't this teasing others to fight! ?
In order to prevent chaos in the world, I wish I could start a war!
Jiraiya really couldn't understand how the teacher Sarutobi, who was so steady in the past that he couldn't help but do something like this...
"Old man, are you crazy?"
Jiraiya blushed and shouted loudly: "You will make the entire ninja world attack Konoha. How can we withstand it? The consequences of defeat will be the death of the village!"
"It's okay to be so tough before. If we arm the elites in the village and show them to other villages, maybe we can avoid a war. Why do we do this now?"
Namikaze Minato on the side was also shocked.
In the past, Konoha was worried about the occurrence of war. Even after winning the Second Ninja World War, it did not gain any benefits as the victor. It just wanted to quickly calm down the incident. Overall, it was a completely dovish style.
But with the current behavior, if a war does not break out, all members of the ninja world must fight together, not even one person is missing.
Namikaze Minato's evaluation of the village target operation is: It is difficult to evaluate.
Even though he is a Konoha ninja with the will of fire, he has never questioned the decisions of high-level officials since he was a child, but now he inevitably begins to question the decisions of Sarutobi Hiruzen...
After just a few months of training in Miaomu Mountain, Konoha has done such a big job. Who can withstand this?
"Jiraiya, the village has full confidence in this war..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:
"Konoha has given the entire ninja world a chance. Inviting various hidden villages to sign the peace agreement is our sincerity, but if we choose to break the contract, it will be their business."
"I said that I will make a fair decision on the position of the Fourth Hokage based on merit in this war."
Jiraiya sighed, now that it's over, what can we do?
The village has reached this critical situation, and it can only find a way to tide over the difficulties first.
Jiraiya's heart felt like electricity was spinning, and he thought:
"Regardless of whether the old man is prepared or not, he has already developed misunderstandings in his thinking. He no longer considers how to avoid war, but begins to use extreme methods to ignite war..."
"This transformation is inseparable from that brat Uchiha Qingsui."
Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato and other people present who witnessed Qing Shui's rampage gradually guessed some of the so-called truth based on the rumors of some elders in the village and Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude.
After all, the ninjas who are familiar with Senju Tobirama's chakra are still alive in Konoha. As long as they inquire carefully, they can still obtain relevant information.
In the private research of Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya and Kushina, a small group of them came to a conclusion similar to Uzumaki Mito.
Qing Shui is a product created by the Second Hokage, in order to solve the threat to Konoha from the Uchiha clan...
But they didn't think too deeply. Compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had seen the Senju Tobirama in Qing Shui's body with his own eyes, Jiraiya and others just thought Qing Shui was special.
"The existence of Qing Shui has changed the old man's thinking too much. He is no longer suitable to be the Hokage of Konoha..."
"If Uchiha Qingsui becomes Hokage, Konoha will be even more extreme!"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.
In this case, let his disciple Minato Namikaze become the new Hokage and make a huge contribution in this crisis in the village, leaving everyone speechless.
During the period of hard training at Mt. Myoki, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato were able to initially enter the sage mode.
With the right strategy, you can gain an advantage even against tailed beasts and jinchūriki!
After sorting out his thoughts and logic, Jiraiya said in a deep voice:
"Uchiha Qingsui already has the roots, so for the sake of fairness, Minato and I will be assigned to the same battlefield. Old man, you can't be partial. You must give Minato some powerful ninjas."
Jiraiya put pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Qing Shui were to lead Konoha's elite and Namikaze Minato was to lead Konoha's stragglers, the difference in the probability of obtaining military merit would be too great.
Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly:
"This is war. What does it look like for you to be picky and picky for merit!"
Jiraiya had a sullen face and did not accept criticism at all:
"It's not for merit, it's for Konoha to be on the right path in the future!"
Namikaze Minato watched this scene silently and said nothing.
Like Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato couldn't understand the village's decision, and he couldn't let go of the Hokage in his heart.
The position of Hokage has been his dream since childhood, and Shimura Danzo's story has told everyone in Konoha that if you don't sit in that position at the right time, you will never get another chance in this life.
Therefore, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen has promoted Tsunade to assist the Hokage, if there is a chance to compete for the Hokage position, Namikaze Minato still has to try his best!
And this first step is to make your troops elite enough.
"In this war, Qing Shui will lead some of the elites of the Genbu and Uchiha clans to deal with Kirigakure. Is this fair?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya sideways:
"This is Qing Shui's initiative, but the majority of the ninjas under him are Uchiha who are good at fire escape. However, in order to deal with Kirigakure who has the silent killing technique, he can only let the Sharingan ninjas with powerful dynamic vision take over. Go up..."
Jiraiya's face turned red. If he said that, then he was really incomparable to Qing Shui's pattern.
"Not only that, but the head of the Security Department, Uchiha Fugaku, and his clan members are also handed over to you and Minato..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:
"Minato, I have chosen disciples for you, namely Uchiha Rin, Uchiha Obito and Kakashi. These three children will be left to you."
"You know what this means, right? This is a fair fight!"
Qing Shui said this to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Although in order to deal with Kirigakure, the elite Uchiha must be used to fight, some young geniuses cannot withstand this intensity.
For the sake of the unity of the village, the ninjas of the Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya factions and the Uchiha must establish a master-disciple inheritance, and diversify the Uchiha clan into Konoha.
After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was very emotional. He was worthy of being a teacher!
An ordinary ninja would most likely hold the Uchiha clan tightly in his hands as an elite ace force, preventing anyone from getting involved.
However, Qing Shui looked at the overall situation and generously spared some members of his clan, giving Namikaze Minato the opportunity to build relationships.
It seemed that even if he defeated Namikaze Minato, Qing Shui would still convince him.
Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed, and he quickly accepted the order: "You will live up to your trust, Sandaime-sama!"
Accepting Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Rin as disciples means that Namikaze Minato also has a ninja clan supporting him behind him, and has also established a relationship with Hatake Sakumo.
Although this connection was meaningless, from the perspective of Namikaze Minato who was kept in the dark, Konoha was indeed fair and even favored him.
This is putting Uchiha's resources into his hands!
But in fact, Qing Shui just wanted to give Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu a stage.
In Qing Shui's view, fighting Kirigakure in a water-filled environment along the coastline of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, even if he doesn't use various blood inheritance limits, the power of the ocean will help him tell every Kirigakure ninja, what It is the will of water!
The battle ends too quickly, which is not conducive for Kuro to make arrangements with Uchiha Obito, so they can let the young couple make trouble on their own...
Jiraiya held his forehead. Although his teacher accidentally made a big mistake, it was not difficult for him and Namikaze Minato.
"Try hard to find a way to help Konoha get through this crisis and let Minato take over as the Fourth Hokage. Everything will be fine..."
Jiraiya thought in his mind:
"Who is the son of the forbidden prophecy predicted by the Great Toad Immortal?"
"Having a variety of powerful powers, thinking about peace but bringing about war, and having a master-disciple relationship with me..."
"This kind of prediction is so accurate, and the Great Immortal's attitude is very clear, which shows that the situation is already very urgent!"
And just like to answer Jiraiya's doubts——
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:
"Jiraiya, you and Namikaze Minato are in charge of Iwagakure for this war."
"Qing Shui is responsible for Kirigakure, I am responsible for Sunagakure, Tsunade and Orochimaru are responsible for Kumogakure, and Hatake Sakumo is responsible for Amegakure..."
"But remember, in general, you must obey orders. Even I, the Hokage, must obey the orders of the commander-in-chief. This war will adopt new tactics. Konoha will let all hidden villages know our power."
Jiraiya's heart tightened: "Who is the commander-in-chief?"
"It's Qing Shui."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "If the war is won, Qing Shui will be the worthy fourth generation Hokage."
"Qing Shui is currently responsible for the deployment of the war and the use of new ninja tools. You and Minato must remember not to oppose the overall command because of your personal thoughts."
Jiraiya's face turned pale. If the war failed, where would there be Konoha?
Therefore, although Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over some of the Uchiha elites to him and Namikaze Minato, he still completely bet his future on Uchiha Qingsui!
Jiraiya suddenly stirred up his spirit and asked tremblingly:
"Qing Shui was the one who declared war on each hidden village, so the plan to show weakness to the enemy was also his idea?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen silently took out his pipe and blew out a puff of smoke without answering.
Jiraiya's mind felt as if there was an electric shock. The fire that burned the entire ninja world was completely ignited by Qing Shui!
And the next moment, the Big Toad Immortal's prophecy also appeared in his mind...
Possessing multiple powers, bringing war and thinking about peace...
Corresponding to the power of the whirlpool, Senju Tobirama and Uchiha possessed by Qing Shui, and his behavior of mastering the will of fire and starting a war, it all fits perfectly!
But the problem is, what about the relationship between him and Jiraiya's master and disciple?
Jiraiya thought about the past and murmured to himself: "Old man, did you ask me to take Qing Shui as my disciple?"
When Hiruzen Sarutobi was considering candidates for teachers of Qing Shui and Asuma, Tsunade was still suffering from hemophobia. Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura were very close, and the candidate he first considered was Jiraiya. also.
But at that time, Jiraiya rejected Sarutobi Hiruzen on the grounds that he wanted to find the son of prophecy.
Moreover, he was still thinking in his mind that he was the master of the Son of Prophecy, and every time he accepted a disciple, he was careful to pay attention to the impact on the prophecy.
"Stop talking nonsense, Jiraiya!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly when he heard Jiraiya's words.
Are you going crazy?
You are my apprentice, and now you want to accept my teacher as your apprentice. There is a gap in generations between here and outside!
It is true that Hiruzen Sarutobi actually remembered that he approached Jiraiya and asked him to accept Qing Shui as his disciple...
But after meeting Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen flexibly eliminated the false memories in his mind and told himself that this incident had not happened.
"Qing Shui is Tsunade's apprentice, and I never asked you to accept him as your apprentice..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Jiraiya's pale face and emphasized every word:
"Looking at you like this, is it related to that prophecy?"
"I don't care what those toads said or what they asked you to do. Now that the enemy is facing us, can you and Namikaze Minato serve Konoha and focus your targets on the enemy instead of the so-called prophecy?"
"If you can't do it, tell me, the Hokage, now!"
Jiraiya nodded with difficulty, and the dazed Sarutobi Hiruzen said goodbye, thinking about various things about Qing Shui.
It’s all right, it’s really all right!
Qing Shui is the son of the forbidden prophecy who brought war to the ninja world...
Namikaze Minato walked beside Jiraiya, his face was not good-looking, and he whispered: "Jiraiya-sensei, Qing Shui went to find Kushina a few days ago and let him pretend to be a Jinchuriki and go on a rampage."
"Kyuubi's evaluation of Qing Shui is that he has secrets in him that can shake the ninja world. This seems to be in line with the prediction of the Great Toad Sage..."
Jiraiya slowly exhaled a long breath.
Even Kyuubi came to confirm the big toad sage's prediction...
Sure enough, Miaomushan, whom he had always believed in, did have the ability to predict the future. Sure enough, his trust all along was right!
"Minato, do you believe in Mount Myoboku's prophecy?"
Jiraiya said in a deep voice: "At this point, we can only help Konoha get through the difficulties first, and then talk to Qing Shui to change his extreme thinking about war!"
"Come on, Minato!"
Namikaze Minato nodded slowly.
If it was said that Minato Namikaze had a dubious attitude towards the prophecy of Mt. Myoboku before, but now he believed most of it.
The evaluation of Qing Shui by the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body exactly coincides with the opinion of the Great Toad Sage...
This is very credible.
"I believe it, Jiraiya-sensei."
Namikaze Minato said softly: "Please help me, I will work hard to become the fourth generation Hokage and let the village embark on the road of peace..."
Jiraiya patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder and said with emotion:
"I always believed in you, Minato."
"Now, the future of the ninja world depends on the two of us!"
After Jiraiya left, Sarutobi Hiruzen also came to the root.
He originally wanted to finalize further details of the war with Qing Shui, but his eyes widened as soon as he came!
Qing Shui, who was sitting on the stool, held a clay bomb with a smile, put a black flame in his hand into it, sealed it with a fine seal, and placed it next to the respectful root ninja's hand.
Immediately, the action was repeated.
Although it is a manual method, it is made very quickly, just like making wontons.
"Qing Shui, what kind of new weapon is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the black flames in Qing Shui's hands in surprise.
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this Amaterasu was not an ordinary fire escape, it was extremely hot and powerful.
"Clay bomb·Amaterasu limited edition..."
Qing Shui greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi and pointed to his eyes:
"General explosive clay bombs will be restrained by thunder. Once the enemy becomes familiar with them, the effect will be reduced."
"But my Amaterasu is different. It can strengthen itself by igniting chakra. It matches well with the clay bomb's diffusion and explosion properties..."
"It doesn't take much, just a trace of it can burn it for a long time. Even a Jonin or even a Kage will be troublesome if they are hit without a way to deal with it."
"By the way, I will also practice the pupil technique and sealing technique."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Qing Shui in bewilderment as he used the Fire Sealing Seal to stuff a ray of terrifying black flame into the clay, feeling cold in his heart.
If this thing exploded near him, as the third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would feel himself confused...
Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart trembled.
Even Qing Shui's body, Qian Shu Tobijian, was shocked by such a bomb with strong adhesion and high lethality.
Amaterasu, which originally had a relatively simple function, was actually transformed into a weapon of mass destruction by Qing Shui...
This is really——
The blue is better than the blue!
