Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

"Huh? Uchiha Itachi? Well, if no other serious incidents occur, just give up the pursuit and capture of him for the time being..." Mito Kado En hesitated slightly, but still couldn't help but speak and give instructions.

A thought flashed through Mizuto Menen's mind, and he remembered what his good friend, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, had secretly told them when he was still alive. Uchiha Itachi had reached a secret agreement with him, and everything was for the peace and stability of Konoha Village.

Therefore, it is not recommended that Konoha Village continue to chase and capture Uchiha Itachi, which would waste manpower and resources.

"One thing after another... Well, why does it suddenly feel like there are so many things happening in Konoha Village? Jiraiya, we are both old, and our bodies can't bear to deal with all these affairs around the clock. What do you think about the order I just gave you?"

Utane Koharu frowned slightly. Decades of tedious affairs had wiped out her youthful beauty. She was once a beautiful girl, but now she had become an old woman who was despised and abandoned by everyone.

While she stretched out her hand to gently massage her temple to relieve fatigue, she expressed that she and Mito Menhen were now old, and felt that the number of emergencies in Konoha Village was beyond the capabilities of the two of them. Konoha Village urgently needed a stronger and more trusted person by the villagers to serve as leader and become the Fifth Hokage, so that Konoha Village could continue to move forward and develop.

Jiraiya did not hesitate, flipped through the notebook where he recorded the material for the novel, and said with a calm smile: "Excuse me, I refuse!"

"..."

This was beyond the expectations of Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.

Mizuto Menen frowned, thinking that Jiraiya was joking.

He asked in a bad tone: "This is the highest order of the village. If you refuse, what will Konoha Village do?"

Jiraiya casually adjusted the huge Myobokusan Toad Summoning Scroll on his back, shook his head, and said calmly, "Besides me, isn't there another person in Konoha Village who is the most suitable and undisputed candidate for the Fifth Hokage?"

"Ok?"

Utatane Koharu's eyes were filled with surprise and a hint of uncertainty as she asked, "You mean, could it be——"

Jiraiya nodded, "That's the one you mentioned, [could it be], the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the undisputed princess of Konoha, the slug messenger who removes the pain of the ninja world - Princess Tsunade!"

Hearing this, Might Guy suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock, disbelief and joy.

After all, his good friend Kakashi Hatake has always been known as a genius ninja and has never been attacked by such a powerful illusion. It is also unheard of that he is in a coma and his life or death is unknown.

Although Might Guy is very powerful, he knows that only Hatake Kakashi is qualified to become Hokage. Now, is this genius who is destined to make a significant contribution to the history of Konoha Village going to continue sleeping?

Might Guy couldn't accept it!

But he had no idea how to find the legendary Tsunade.

Although Tsunade is also one of the three ninjas of Konoha Village, she possesses a magical transformation technique that not only allows her to change her age, but also her height. She can freely switch between a few-year-old child and a decades-old old woman, and there is no way to trace her.

As long as she wanted to hide, no one could find her.

but now--

"..."

As the most powerful figures in Konoha Village at that time, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

They nodded to each other, acknowledging that what Jiraiya said made sense.

After all, Raiya was chosen to be the 5th Hokage. Although he was more than capable, there were still some inadequacies.

Especially when there is another one of Konoha's three ninjas, Tsunade.

It’s not that they didn’t think about Tsunade, but they hadn’t been able to find any trace of her in decades, so they subconsciously stopped thinking about that.

So Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En softened their tone, no longer aggressive, and relaxed, but with a worried look on their faces, they asked Jiraiya, "But the village also tried to send people to look for Tsunade, but there was no trace of Tsunade. Can you find her, Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya had an evil smile on his face. He raised a finger and said calmly, "Don't underestimate me. I have basically traveled through most of the ninja world. I have a rough guess about Tsunade's whereabouts. As long as you look for her carefully, you will definitely find her in a short time. But this time, I have to apply to take someone with me--"

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at each other, confused. They didn't think that with Jiraiya's strength and intelligence gathering ability, anyone could help him.

Then he turned back to look at Jiraiya.

There is no doubt that what Jiraiya meant was to call Uzumaki Naruto to go over together.

The main reason is that Kakashi Hatake is now in a coma, and Kakashi Hatake's chakra attributes are more similar to Uchiha Sasuke's. His fighting style and even his bloodline limit Sharingan are also copies and enhanced versions of Uchiha Sasuke's.

Therefore, he is the best teacher to teach Uchiha Sasuke.

But it is different for Uzumaki Naruto. His basics are too weak, and he does not know how to use the Nine-Tails' chakra to fight. He urgently needs a ninja with higher knowledge and greater power to teach him the basics.

Of course, Ebisu's teaching ability is indeed impeccable, but Jiraiya has grown from a last-place student to a towering pillar of Konoha Village, and his basic abilities are extremely solid.

And more importantly: Now that Kakashi Hatake is unconscious, it is obvious that the only ninja who has a glimmer of hope of controlling and suppressing the Nine-Tails cannot be relied upon for the time being.

To be honest, at this moment, the only person in Konoha Village who had the confidence to stop the Nine-Tails, from the two elders and advisors to the common people, everyone thought that Jiraiya was the only one left.

Ahem - common people may not take this matter too seriously.

Moreover, to find Tsunade is not as simple as sending the Hyuga clan member with the strongest insight, Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, because Tsunade's changes are not just traces covered up by the transformation technique, but with the blessing of the Yin Seal with super high skills, Tsunade can unscrupulously adjust the cell activity of the entire body.

From a child of a few years old to an old lady in her forties or fifties, the changes are all effortless and controlled by one hand. This kind of transformation is so hidden that it is impossible to detect it with a coward's eyes.

After all, the Byakugan is nothing more than a more accurate telescope and microscope. Ultimately, it depends on whether the person using it can recognize it.
