Naruto: The Six Paths of the Senju Family

Jiraiya moved his body, and gave Nawaki an appreciative smile.

"Rope tree, amazing!"

"I feel that your current healing ability of Yang Dun is stronger than that of your sister!"

Sheng Shu waved his hand, indicating that these were all basic operations.

"Brother Jiraiya, let's go to my house together!"

"By the way, hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for Minato. After all, he is your first real disciple, so don't be too hasty!"

Jilai also hesitated for a while, and glanced at Orochimaru.

"I'm going to visit Sarutobi-sensei first. I think it's better to inform him about accepting apprentices."

"after all."

Orochimaru nodded noncommittally.

"Then we'll wait for you at the Thousand Hand Clan!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

After watching the whole farce, Fugaku and Nissai were also about to leave, and Naoki stepped forward and grabbed Uchiha Fugaku.

"Senior Fuyue, do you have so many tasks in the security team? I haven't seen Mikoto for several days!"

Fu Yue looked at Naoshu with a slight look of envy in his eyes.

"Shengshu, I have to say, you are too good!"

"Mikoto works hard every day to catch up with you."

"I hope you don't let her down!"

Fuyue patted Nakoki on the shoulder, turned and left.

Sheng Shu stood there in a daze, gently caressing his chest with his hand, feeling the heat inside, a little hot.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was sitting in Hokage's office, listening to the current dark team leader Sakumo Hatake's report.

"Master Naruto, I think it is more appropriate to arrange the venue for the joint Chunin selection in the first security area of ​​Konoha East Gate."

"It's relatively far away from the important place of Konoha, which can prevent some people with ulterior motives from spying on Konoha's information."

"Besides, the first warning area is relatively close to Konoha's hot spring street, which will also encourage some nobles to go to spend, which can greatly increase the village's tax revenue this year."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette, with an appreciative smile on his face.

"Okay! Shuo Mao! It's still your thoughtfulness!"

"Originally, the old man planned to set up the venue in those training grounds that are usually not used by anyone. Now that I think about it, it is really inappropriate!"

"It seems that the old man is really old, not as good as you young people!"

Hatake Sakumo slightly lowered his head, saying he didn't dare.

"Master Hokage was joking. This subordinate is just making some suggestions, and the final result still needs your nod."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was quite satisfied with Hatake Sakumo's attitude, nodded and said:

"Well, there's no need to change it, just do as you said!"

"For this joint Chunin exam, not only nobles will come to watch. The daimyos of various countries have also sent people to Konoha to signal that they want to watch the ceremony."

"At that time, the security management in the village and the protection of the daimyo will also be in place, and there can be no mistakes!"

Somo nodded.

"Yes!"

"The subordinates are going to let the Hyuga clan be in charge of the peripheral security and investigation work, and the white eyes can screen out some suspicious people who have sneaked into Konoha."

"In the village and the assessment site, my subordinates want to recruit some people from the Uchiha clan's security team. Together with Anbu, we will protect the safety of the villagers and the daimyo."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a while, knocked on his pipe, and shook his head lightly.

"Public security in the village is still relatively important. The security team is responsible for patrolling the village and maintaining order, so it is not suitable to be easily transferred!"

"As for the safety of the venue, let Anbu be responsible for it all!"

"If there are not enough people, I will transfer some from Danzo's men."

"That's it! Shuo Mao, I believe in your ability, and I will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Go down and make arrangements!"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to process the documents that seemed to never be finished.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Hatake Sakumo could hear his distrust towards the Uchiha clan, his eyes flickered twice, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, he is only a dark army leader, and Master Hokage's decision cannot be refuted by him.

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his head from the document, and showed a kind smile to Sakumo Hatake.

"Go!"

Hatake Sakumo opened the office door, turned around and backed out.A tall white-haired figure appeared in front of him, it was Jiraiya who brought Minato.

"Jiraiya? When did you come back?"

Jilai also saw Shuo Mao, with a happy smile on his face.

"Senior Shuomao, I just came back and came to talk to Teacher Sarutobi!"

"I heard from Orochimaru that you are the captain of Konoha's dark army now, are you busy with work?"

Somo nodded.

"Indeed, Anbu has a lot to deal with every day!"

"I just finished reporting the work of the past few days with Master Hokage, and I am going back to make arrangements."

Looking at Minato who was following Jiraiya, Sakumo asked casually:
"Jiraiya, who is this Ninja? If there is nothing important, don't let him disturb Master Hokage's work."

Seeing that Minato looked a little embarrassed, Jilai patted him on the back and said to Shuomo:
"This is my newly recruited disciple. If I want to bring it here to show Sarutobi-sensei, there shouldn't be any hindrance, right?"

Somo nodded.

"Since it's your disciple, then it's nothing!"

"Okay, let's go in! Anbu still has something to deal with, so I'll leave first."

"Call Orochimaru and Tsunade if you have time, let's get together!"

Ji Lai also nodded in agreement, and waved goodbye to Shuo Mao.

"Minato, don't worry about Senior Sakumo's attitude, it's just his duty as Anbu."

"After a long time of contact, you will know that senior Shuo Mao is actually a very gentle person."

Minato nodded.

"Yes, I understand!"

"Well, come in with me!"

Jilai didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open and entered.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought it was Sakumo Hatake who had left and returned, and asked without looking up:
"Somao, is there anything else?"

Jiraiya also looked at the white hair that had started to grow on Sarutobi's head, with a look of emotion in his eyes, and called out softly.

"Mr. Sarutobi, I'm back!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his head, stood up from his seat with eyes full of surprise, and looked at Jiraiya who appeared suddenly.

"Jilai also?"

"You guy, are you finally willing to come back?"

Jiraiya's eyes trembled slightly, and he nodded slightly as he looked at the somewhat haggard Midai.

"Yes! Let the teacher worry!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi came out from behind the table, raised his hand and patted Zilai's shoulder, which was also taller than himself, and said with emotion:
"Just come back! Just come back!"

"Now that you're back, the teacher's heart is settled!"

"Stay in Konoha from now on! Teacher needs you!"

The corners of Jiraiya's mouth trembled twice, after all, he still didn't say the good word that was hidden in his mouth.

"Teacher, you know me!"

"I was born a prodigal son, and I can't stay in one place!"

There was a hint of disappointment in Sarutobi's eyes, and he barely showed a smile.

"It's okay, I miss the teacher and come back and have a look."

"I'm just afraid that if you go out for too long, if you come back one day, you won't see me, an old man!"

Ji Lai also had a sore nose, suppressed the uncomfortable emotion in his heart, raised his head and let out a haha.

"Haha, Sarutobi-sensei, I just found a good seedling when I returned to Konoha, and I plan to accept him as my disciple."

"Minato, come here!"

Minato came to Jiraiya's side, and respectfully saluted Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"Master Hokage! My name is Minakame Minato!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at this blond boy whom he had been paying attention to all the time, he did not expect him to become Jiraiya's disciple, his own grandson.

Thinking of Minato's performance in the information sent back by Anbe, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Since Orochimaru and Tsunade have shown that they are getting further and further away from themselves, and Jiraiya has no intention of being a Hokage, then is it possible?
A bold idea, like a weed, took root in Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart.
