Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

Tsunade and Shikaku's discussion lasted for a long time, but it did not attract anyone's attention. They just thought that the Hokage needed Shikaku, the military advisor, to help with government affairs. After all, didn't the third generation do this often before?

A few days passed quietly like this. In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was writing something, and Shizune was quietly helping to organize it.

After finally finishing a government matter, he suddenly stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and let the somewhat dazzling sunlight shine into the office.

"I've been watching for so long, but I still haven't seen enough." Tsunade's sudden voice startled Shizune. Who's looking at Lady Tsunade? I looked around and there was no one. Are you talking to me?

"Oh, long time no see. I missed you so much, Tsunade." A frivolous middle-aged male voice sounded, and then Jiraiya, dressed in shorts, a red vest, and with long white hair, appeared in the Hokage's office. He sat on the sofa carelessly, but his eyes were fixed on Tsunade, looking like a pig.

"If you don't want your eyes anymore, I can remove them for free."

"Oh, oh, don't be so impulsive. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Jiraiya waved his hands repeatedly. Tsunade was definitely capable of taking out someone's eyeballs, and he could even put them back in. It was creepy just thinking about it.

"I called you back because I want your help with something." Tsunade's style is not to be hesitant, she should get straight to the point.

"What's the matter?" Jiraiya became more serious. Tsunade would only call him back if it concerned the village, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.

"I'm ready to deal with the Elders."

"What? Tsunade are you serious?"

"Of course, do you think I'm kidding?"

"Why so sudden?"

"I don't want to either, but their existence has seriously affected the development of the village. They are like blood-sucking worms clinging to the big tree of Konoha, sucking the nutrients of Konoha to fatten themselves. The teacher has long lost his ambitions, and in order to maintain stability, he acquiesced to their blood-sucking behavior. But this time, Konoha's collapse plan almost caused Konoha to collapse. Orochimaru's strength may be no less than any Kage, but his subordinates are definitely not as strong as the five major ninja villages. In this way, Orochimaru's plan almost succeeded. It is conceivable that Konoha has been weakened to the extreme."

"How can Konoha, with a Konoha like this, still have the strength to be the number one ninja village in the ninja world? If any ninja village attacks now, do you think Konoha still has the strength to deal with it?"

Jiraiya was speechless, it's not that he was unaware of the darkness in the village, but the illusion of peace in Konoha concealed it all. He always thought that all these were under the control of the Third Generation.

"But if we act suddenly, will Konoha fall into chaos?"

"There will definitely be labor pains, but as for whether it will be chaotic or not, that's why I asked you to come back. You're the only one in Konoha who can show off his Kage-level strength. With you here, I'll have the confidence to fight those old guys head-on. At the same time, those outside who are spying on Konoha will have to consider the consequences of angering you." Tsunade crossed her hands and arched them under her nose. No emotion could be seen on her pretty face, but the words she said were shrewd and scheming. Tsunade has never lacked political acumen. It just depends on whether she is willing to take care of it.

"You think too highly of me, don't you?" Jiraiya laughed dryly. He loved the village and was willing to shed blood for it, but now he had to face his former companions, even his comrades-in-arms. Jiraiya really didn't want to intervene, but he couldn't refuse Tsunade's request.

"Do you think I'm willing to look for you? It's just that I have no choice in this village." Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, her tone as calm as ever. But even with Tsunade like this, Jiraiya did not have the courage to refuse.

"What exactly are you going to do?"

"Do you remember the reason why Orochimaru defected?"

"Human experiment?" Jiraiya frowned. Was he going to bring up the past? As expected, bringing up the past was a woman's talent.

"Yes, although this incident was characterized as Orochimaru's personal behavior. But do you think it is possible for him to exist in the village for so long?"

"How is that possible? Unless the teacher has already lost control of Konoha, the teacher was still in his prime at that time, but he was a ninja hero." Jiraiya certainly didn't believe it.

"But it just so happened that Orochimaru's human experiments lasted for a long time until they were discovered by the Anbu. With so many powerful people and so many families in Konoha, how could they not find any clues? For them to be discovered by the Anbu in the end, it was more like the person behind the scenes found that things were out of control and detonated themselves." It was obvious that Tsunade had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and the reasons given by some levels were impeccable.

"You mean there is someone supporting Orochimaru behind the scenes." Jiraiya reacted. Yes, any experiment requires a large amount of data support, and obtaining a large amount of data requires various experiments, which is not something that a single individual can undertake.

"who is it?"

"Who in Konoha Village can support Orochimaru's experiments, and who is interested in human experiments?"

"Danzo?"

"Not only Danzo, but also the elders, and even the teacher himself, are involved. Although there is no evidence, my guess is almost right. In fact, the angle is clearer. You know the families of the teacher and the elders. Ordinary families without bloodstains. When the second grandfather was in power, they were just small families like the Ino-Shika-Chou. Since the teacher took power, they have become a behemoth, occupying positions in various key departments in the village and controlling the foundation of Konoha. How did they achieve such development?

Two-thirds of the families that joined Konoha died, but their family actually grew and prospered. This must be said to be a miracle. Tell me, what made them do this?"

"This time, facing Orochimaru's surprise attack, the village's arrangements were stretched to the limit. This is Konoha Village, but we didn't see any of the elders' families come out to participate in the battle, not even to rescue them."

"They eat and drink from Konoha, but they don't fulfill the most basic duty of a Konoha ninja, which is to protect Konoha. What do I need such a family and such a group of elders for?" Tsunade became more and more angry, and vented her grief and anger at Jiraiya. He was never the kind of person who was willing to endure grievances and endure them. It was his character to take revenge when there was a grievance.

"I didn't expect the teacher would leave such a big question..." Jiraiya was speechless. He always thought that the teacher was just a little weak and played it safe, but he didn't expect that he was so indulgent.

The two stared at each other for a long time, until Tsunade showed an impatient expression. Jiraiya finally raised his head and said seriously: "If the Elders are really as you said, then I will not agree to use human experiments as the starting point of your plan." Jiraiya is naive, but not stupid. A simple comparison of strength has already told him that this matter cannot be done according to Tsunade's idea, otherwise, Konoha will be in chaos, and this is not the result he wants to see.
