When I first arrived in Konoha, I met the little Hyuga white-eyed loli.

"Okay, okay, Rin is the best. When the time comes for the Chuunin exams, I will rely on Rin." Hinata Nao looked at Rin Watanabe with admiration and said with a slight voice.

"Okay, it's all on me. When the time comes, I'll tell you, I'll punch Sunagakure Village, kick other small ninja villages, and lead you to open a avenue among thousands of armies." Watanabe Rin looked up. Head, hands on hips, bragging to Hinata Nao.

In fact, it's not a boast. As long as Gaara doesn't let out his one tail to fight him, even Watanabe Rin, who hasn't trained for this month, can't beat Gaara at his level, let alone after special training now. , Watanabe Lin's strength is no longer what it used to be. Watanabe Lin can only fight casually.

Hinata Nao looked at the high-spirited Watanabe Rin in front of her, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and she smiled tenderly.

But Lin Watanabe didn't notice Hinata Nao's gaze. She was imagining in her mind that she would show off her talents in the Chunin Exam. But what worried Lin Watanabe was that this time Jiraiya was also in the village, Orochimaru would He wouldn't pretend to be the fourth generation Kazekage and assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi like in the original work. If Orochimaru wanted to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, he didn't know that Jiraiya would help.

Orochimaru still had the same idea, he wanted his teacher to die in a vigorous battle instead of dying of old age in the struggle for power, and Konoha, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, had lost its vitality and had become too weak.

The Leiyin Village came to Konoha to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and even sent the head of the Konoha branch to make amends. In addition, because they were afraid of Uchiha's strength, they continued to weaken Uchiha's status, intensifying the conflict between Uchiha and the village. Finally, It even directly wiped out the Uchiha clan, which caused most ninjas to stay away.

So when Sarutobi and Hiruzen were all tied up in the barrier, no one came to rescue them. Top jounin like Kakashi and Metkai were also completely swimming.

Even if Kakashi doesn’t use the Chidori Raikiri, Metkai doesn’t even open a single door, and he’s still thinking about who can kill the most. What’s even more ridiculous is that even Sarutobi Hiruzen’s own son Sarutobi Asuma I don’t know where I ran to,

Not to mention other people, that’s why Orochimaru carefully planned a Konoha collapse plan. Orochimaru’s purpose was not to collapse Konoha at all, but to give his teacher a perfect curtain call. If Orochimaru is really very Hate Konoha,

How could he wander around Konoha with a smile on his face after killing Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Therefore, the target of Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan is only Sarutobi Hiruzen. Whether Jiraiya intervenes or not, it has nothing to do with him as a genin, as long as he doesn't be too promiscuous.

After thinking about what to do, Rin Watanabe was relieved and started chatting and laughing with Nao Hinata beside her again.

In another forest in the dead of night, there stood Jiraiya and another snake-like figure.

"I remember you don't drink much." A hoarse voice sounded in Jiraiya's ears.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to have a little fun today." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Oh, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed." Looking at Jiraiya who was as bold as before, Orochimaru chuckled.

"Orochimaru, how many years have we not seen each other? It seems that we have not seen each other since you betrayed Konoha, but Tsunade always meets her often." Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, his eyes A trace of nostalgia suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for so many years. It's really nostalgic to think of the days when the three of us fought together." Listening to Jiraiya's words, even Orochimaru felt nostalgic.

"What are you going to do when you come back this time?" After feeling nostalgic, Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru seriously and asked.

"I want Sarutobi-sensei to die a heroic death. Konoha is too decadent and too weak now." Orochimaru's calm and hoarse voice seemed to be saying an ordinary trivial matter.

"But he is our teacher after all." Jiraiya looked at the calm Orochimaru and said somewhat unbearably.

"If Mr. Sarutobi is in danger, not many people in Konoha will come out to save their lives, or even come to help. I have been back for such a long time. I believe you can feel this even if I don't tell you."

From his observations during this period, Jiraiya naturally knew the attitude of Konoha jounin and various families towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he could not ignore his teacher after all.

"I don't need you to take action, as long as you don't hinder me. If Tsunade is here, I believe she will agree with my idea." Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya who was silent and glanced at Jiraiya , then turned around and disappeared into the night.

Jiraiya was left alone leaning against a tree in a daze. The daily life of the three of him and Sarutobi Hiruzen resurfaced in his mind, and then the team fell apart.

Jiraiya knew the darkness of Konoha, otherwise he would not have left Konoha, but after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has become his teacher today, and his relationship with him is that of both teacher and father.

No matter what, Jiraiya didn't want to see Sarutobi Hiruzen die in front of him, but Jiraiya really didn't know how to refute Orochimaru. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen was alive for one day,

The decay and weakness of Konoha are inevitable, so if you want to change Konoha, you must start with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

For a long time... Jiraiya leaned against the tree and thought silently for a long time. He sighed deeply and wanted to find someone to vent his worries to, but there was no one to whom he could express his feelings.

He picked up the wine gourd that was not wrapped around his waist to pack the unfinished wine from the meal. After finishing the meal, he threw the gourd away, wiped his mouth, and smiled.

"Wine is a really good thing sometimes, Tsunade." Jiraiya thought of Tsunade who got him drunk every day, and suddenly felt the same.

"Old man, it's time to let go of your obsession with power and rest."

Jiraiya looked up at the full moon, then looked at the head of Sarutobi Hiruzen on the Hokage Rock and murmured in his heart.

Then he turned around and returned to his home.

As soon as he took off his coat, a small bag wrapped in paper fell out.

Jiraiya picked it up curiously and saw that it was left by Lin Watanabe. He didn't know what Lin Watanabe had put in his pocket.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I've never seen you drink before. I'm afraid that if you drink to save face, then go home and sleep, you won't be able to treat Nao and I to a barbecue tomorrow. You can just soak this tea bag in water to sober up - —Your good apprentice Watanabe Rinru."

Jiraiya couldn't help laughing when he looked at Watanabe Rin's words and the tea bag in his hand:

"Really, where did this little wine go?"

But he still put the tea bag given by Watanabe Rin into the tea cup, then made a cup of hot water before lying down to sleep.
