Chapter 213 Jiraiya Leaves

After hearing that Jiraiya wanted to go out and bring Orochimaru back, the Third Hokage pondered for a few seconds, then slowly said:

"Jiraiya, you should know that Orochimaru will not come back easily."

"And he has hurt his companions in the village, and now he is a dangerous rebel. Even if you bring Orochimaru back, he will be punished."

"I know..." Jiraiya showed a firm look, and then said: "But I still insist on bringing Orochimaru back. I will never allow him to continue on the wrong path."

The Third Hokage shook his head and said:

"I can't promise you. The village is now in ruins and needs you, a war hero, to take charge. Once they know that you are going to chase Orochimaru, the village will easily become unstable."

"And the teacher is old, and the position of the Fifth Hokage can only be given to you."

Hearing this, Jiraiya hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to express his inner thoughts to the Third Teacher. He wanted to bring Orochimaru back.

But more importantly, he didn't want to stay in the village any longer.

I don't know when he started to hate Danzo's insidiousness, the hypocrisy of the advisory duo, and the boring political tactics of the third generation teacher.

Because of these experiences, Tsunade left the village, and Orochimaru also defected not long ago.

He even had the idea of ​​leaving the village and traveling around the world, but if he really left Konoha, the third generation teacher would no longer have students.

After leaving Konoha, he couldn't find another place to stay, even the Myoboku Mountain Holy Land he trusted, that was not a long-term place. He only had one hometown, that was Konoha.

As if he saw Jiraiya's thoughts, the third generation Hokage sighed softly, then took out a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took the scroll, which was blank, and couldn't help looking at the third generation Hokage.

The Third Hokage said slowly:

"This is a long-term S-level undercover mission. Your mission is to travel around the world and find criminals who are secretly targeting the village. Remember to keep in touch... Give me a mission report every once in a while."

Jirai was not a fool, and he instantly understood what the Third Hokage meant.

The old man disagreed with him going to find Orochimaru, but he did not object to his behavior. This blank mission commission was more like giving him the power to act at his convenience.

"Old man, I'll leave first..."

After getting what he wanted, Jiraiya planned to leave immediately. Before walking out of the office door, he said to the Third Hokage:

"Third-generation teacher, the policy of cracking down on the ninja clan and supporting civilian ninjas is not wrong, but I think the reason why the companions in the village are willing to sacrifice their lives in the war is still based on the will of fire..."

"Jiraiya, I know the meaning of the will of fire better than you."

After Jiraiya left, the Third Hokage muttered in his heart, then re-lit his pipe and smoked it dryly.

After Jiraiya left this time, he became a lonely man completely.

Although Anbu Minister Shinnosuke is his son, all the three ninjas who have truly accepted his inheritance have left the village.

Why is all this happening?

The Third Hokage looked at the portrait of Senju Tobirama and talked to himself.

…

Jiraiya left Konoha quietly without alerting any ninja.

But as time went on, the Konoha ninjas discovered that Jiraiya had left Konoha. This news spread rapidly in the Konoha Ninja Village, and almost every Konoha ninja knew about it.

And there was a heated discussion in the village about why Jiraiya suddenly left Konoha.

If it were normal, it would be normal for a master like Jiraiya to go out on a mission, but now that the war with Kumogakure has just ended, Jiraiya was ignored at the celebration party.

All these behaviors naturally attracted the attention of the Konoha ninjas. They suspected that Jiraiya had broken up with the Third Hokage, otherwise it would be better to start the Fifth Hokage election by taking advantage of the end of the war.

In the face of rumors in the village, the Third Hokage did not choose to explain.

As time goes by, these rumors will naturally dissipate. He no longer cares about his reputation, so let them talk.

Shimura Danzo, who loves to make rumors, did not choose to attack the Third Hokage at this time.

He is now more sober than before. Instead of risking failure to attack the Third Hokage, it is better to wait for the Third Hokage to make a mistake.

Today he taught Tenzo a few Wood Release Ninjutsu, and Tenzo learned them all.

There has also been considerable progress in the Root Laboratory. It is said that a special test subject has been found that can withstand the erosion of Hashirama's cells and even reduce the side effects of transplanting the Sharingan.

As long as this technology is developed to maturity, he can have both Wood Release and Sharingan.

When the power of Senju and Uchiha Uchiha is combined, no one in the entire ninja world will be his opponent, even the Third Hokage and Byakuya are no exception.

In the Uchiha clan.

Shisui heard the news of Jiraiya's departure. He didn't know why Jiraiya left, but he was about to usher in a new life.

After learning that he had the Sharingan, the Third Hokage not only did not doubt him, but instead transferred him to the Anbu and trained him as a confidant.

If it were in the past, he would definitely be grateful to the Third Hokage.

Thanks to the Third Hokage for making him a bridge between the Uchiha and the village, but the departure of the three ninjas made Shisui more suspicious.

If the Third Hokage was really perfect, why did the three ninjas leave one after another?

Could the Third Hokage want to use me to create a gap between me and the family, and then reach the point of dividing the Uchiha?

Can I use the Third Hokage in turn to make the family complete a transformation?

A main family meeting is being held in the Hyuga clan.

Except for Hyuga Hizashi, all the people attending the meeting are members of the Hyuga main family. Hyuga Hizashi also relied on the merits of the branch family leader and the Kumogakure battlefield to sit here reluctantly.

The elder of the main family, who was sitting in the first seat, first glanced at Hizashi Hizashi, and then said:

"Hizashi, you did a good job on the front line this time and won a lot of places for the family, but you were too popular and overshadowed your brother. Don't do this again next time."

Hizashi Hizashi nodded in agreement. Although he was very strong, he did not dare to challenge the caged bird system.

After a pause, the elder of the main family continued:

"Master Hiashi, Hinata will be four years old in two months. This year's birthday should be held more grandly to celebrate the rise of the Hyuga clan."

The silent Hizashi Hizashi said:

"Hinata's birthday party is already being prepared. Please rest assured, elder. It's just that the battlefield has just ended. Isn't it not good for us to be so extravagant?"

"Everything is for the Hyuga clan, so let's do it this way." The elder of the main family said without question: "In addition, it's time for the family to prepare the caged bird ceremony."

Hearing this, Hizashi Hizashi was struck by lightning, but still did not dare to say anything.

He could accept the Caged Bird Mark on his head, but he couldn't accept Neji being marked with the Caged Bird Mark as well. But this was the fate of the Hyuga branch family.

There were people who resisted for thousands of years, but they all turned into dust in history.

The Caged Bird system has always existed, and the children of the branch family will always be just the branch family.
