Near an open-air hot spring in Konoha Village, on a high platform, a burly ninja with long white hair was observing the beautiful scenery in the hot spring with a telescope with great interest.

"Wow~ Konoha is still the best!"

As the man spoke, his nose was bleeding, as if the scene he saw made him very excited.

At this moment, he heard two footsteps behind him, but this did not make him put down the telescope, because he had already heard who was coming.

"Jiraiya, you are doing such a boring thing in a place like this again..."

An old man said in a deep voice.

Accompanying the old man was an old lady. She and the old man looked at each other with dissatisfied expressions.

When Jiraiya heard the old man's greeting, he was reluctant but still put down the telescope. After all, the two old men opposite him were his elders.

"It's Uncle Yan and Teacher Xiaochun. I wonder why the two consultants came to see me?"

Although Jiraiya was very polite in words, his attitude was not very good.

"Do I need to ask? You already know it without me telling you, right?"

Mitomon En said, his face immediately darkening.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiraiya smiled and said:

"Don't look so serious. I heard that the negotiations between Sunagakure and Konoha are going smoothly, right?"

"All of this was caused by Orochimaru. It has nothing to do with Sunagakure. Moreover, Sunagakure has announced its total surrender to Konoha, so negotiations are no longer important."

At this time, Utane Koharu said:

"From Konoha's perspective, we can only accept the other party's proposal in order to restore national strength."

"But Konoha's current combat power is very low. If any neighboring country could threaten Konoha, we must be prepared in advance!"

"A few days ago, I have appointed the Hyuga family to take over the duties of the Konoha Guard to stabilize the security issues within the village. However, the highest position of Konoha, the Hokage, cannot be left without a leader for a day, so our trip is for this purpose."

Jiraiya listened to the two people silently, while thinking in his heart.

Oh? The Hyuga family took over the security team? I wonder if it has something to do with that white-eyed brat Neji?

Jiraiya had heard about Neji's glorious achievements a few days ago, and as a teacher, he felt proud.

Haha, this kid has become so responsible without realizing it.

Not only Neji, he heard that his other disciple Naruto, also fought with Gaara of the Sand Village after the Chunin Exam was unexpectedly stopped a few days ago. The scene was very spectacular, and even staged a spectacular scene like the battle between Buntai and the One-Tail Shukaku.

Thinking of this, Zilai couldn't help but sigh, it's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one.

Seeing Jiraiya sigh, the two old men felt something was wrong. Mitomon En spoke first:

"Why are you sighing like that? You can't just sit there and do nothing at this point!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya waved his hand and said:

"Forget about me. A person who is used to being lazy is not the material to be a Hokage at all."

Hearing Jiraiya say this, the two advisors became a little anxious. Now that Konoha was leaderless, the third-generation disciple who was most suitable to take over was shirking his responsibility, which made them very annoyed.

"Jiraiya, you..."

But before they could say anything, Jiraiya immediately put forward his own idea:

"But I have a better idea!"

Jiraiya said this while holding his chin with one hand, pretending to think:

"There should be another one among the Sannin!"

Hearing this, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu were stunned at first, then looked at each other and said:

"Tsunade? It's not impossible, but her whereabouts are very erratic now, and I don't know where she is."

"I can help you find her!"

Seeing the two advisors give in, Jiraiya immediately seized the opportunity and spoke.

"But..."

The two old men still had some concerns, but were interrupted by Jiraiya:

"Compared to me who is unmotivated and lazy, the clever Tsunade is more suitable to be the Hokage! Isn't it?"

After hearing these words, the two old men thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

As one of the three ninjas, Tsunade is extremely powerful in herself, and she is also the granddaughter of the first Hokage, so her legitimacy is unquestionable.

"Okay, then I will assign three elite ANBU to go with you in the search."

Jiraiya felt amused when he heard this, thinking, "You said you were helping me, but in reality you were just trying to stop me from getting distracted? Can't I see through this little trick?"

"Don't worry, I won't run away, but I do have a request. There's no need to send someone to monitor me."

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya would speak directly. The two consultants' faces changed color. At this time, Jiraiya continued:

"But I want to take two people with me..."

As Jiraiya spoke, he turned his head and said with an unusually serious expression:

"I recently discovered two very interesting new people!"

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya would give such an answer. The two consultants looked at each other for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

Because the current situation in Konoha has indeed reached a point where it is unsustainable, all parties have no choice but to compromise. Finding a strong person to lead is the top priority, and the process can be completely ignored.

At the same time, on the other side of Konoha, on the bustling streets of Konoha.

Thanks to Ningji's heroic battle in front of the street a few days ago, the entire prosperous Konoha Street suffered almost no damage. Now that the war has subsided, the street immediately returned to its former prosperity and bustle.

But at this moment, the crowd on Konoha Street, which should have been bustling with people, seemed to be very orderly, standing on both sides of the street watching a group of people in the middle of the street.

"Hey, hey, hey, is that the Hyuga clan who is the new member of Konoha's Guard?"

"Yes! The one walking in front is the young head of the Hyuga branch family, Hyuga Neji!"

"Hinata Neji? Is he the young hero who was guarding in front of Konoha Street that day?!"

"Yes! It's him! Why, you just found out about this?"

"How could that be possible! He is the benefactor of our shops! Of course I know!"

In addition to these shop owners who are grateful for Ningji's protection, there are also some village women who are crazy about him.

"Look at this boy, he's so good-looking. How did he manage to have such a cute face and a very imposing body at the same time? He's really likable!"

"Yes, yes! He is about the same age as our child, how come his is so well developed!"

"Oh? Well-developed? Are you just saying that after seeing it?"

"Haha, don't tell me, I've actually seen it..."

Several mature women who looked like boss ladies were looking at Neji and talking heatedly, becoming more and more excited.

At this time, the Hyuga family guards walking in the middle of the street felt full of pressure. These clan members who took office on the first day had never imagined that the guards would be so ostentatious.

But as the captain, Neji was very happy, because his system messages never stopped:

【Popularity +1! 】

【Popularity +1! 】

【Popularity +1! 】

. . .

In a short while, I had accumulated thousands of popularity points. At this rate, I would be able to unlock the relevant talents of the second-level talent tree in a week.

“It’s really good…”

So Neji calmly enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by everyone.

This made the tribesmen on the side admire him even more:

"Look at the Patriarch, he is worthy of being the Patriarch, he has seen the world! He can handle a situation like this!"

"Yes, that's right! Our master has seen a lot of big scenes! It is said that he even fought side by side with the Sandaime Hokage!"

"Not only that! I heard that our master has fought with every one of the three ninjas! And he never lost a single blow!"

"Hey! Listen to me, listen to me!"

. . . . .

Just as the tribesmen were talking more and more weird things, Ningji was suddenly stunned because he saw the white-haired ninja and the yellow-haired boy appear in front of him.

"Teacher Jiraiya, and Naruto! Why are you here?"
