The answer was just as Jiraiya expected.

His teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Uchiha Shigetsu were plotting against the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village.

"Where is that girl going to send you?"

Seeing that Jiraiya had gotten the answer but didn't say anything, Sarutobi Hiruzen put his pipe aside, looked at his disciple and said.

"She asked me to go to the Land of Grass."

After confirming that his teacher was not in danger, Jiraiya returned to his usual nonchalant self.

He carelessly pushed aside an Anbu next to him and sat down on the table.

"You~ still have that hairy look on your face, hahaha..."

He saw that his disciples had no intention of respecting their teacher at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care. He just cursed with a smile and then got down to business.

"There will definitely be a war in the Grass Country. You must take this opportunity to perform well, so that after the war..."

"No, no, no, stop it."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Jiraiya, who understood the other party's implication, immediately interrupted him.

"I will do my best, but don't even think about what happens after that."

Jiraiya's refusal was within Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.

It is no secret that my ambition as a disciple has never been this.

All along, Sarutobi Hiruzen has intended to choose his successor between Orochimaru and Tsunade.

But these two disciples, one of whom is inseparable from Tuan Zang, has now become a hot commodity in the Root, a precious darling.

The other one was busy in the medical department every day, and after work he went to the street to drink and play cards.

Only Jiraiya was left to become the implementer of the will of fire.

In order to keep the Hokage line under control within the power structure created by the second generation, the next Hokage can only be Jiraiya.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a very good plan. He would retreat behind the scenes and assist Jiraiya.

The rights of Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En were slowly stripped away.

At that time, the Root founded by Danzo could naturally be inherited by Orochimaru.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru are equivalent to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo today.

As long as we follow this framework and pass on the position of Hokage from generation to generation, the will of fire will continue forever.

"This matter is not negotiable, Jiraiya."

"This is the teacher's greatest expectation for you, and it is also the expectation of your predecessors."

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very determined on this matter.

Ever since Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya left their schools, Sarutobi Hiruzen has never accepted any disciples.

The job of Hokage was already stressful enough for him, and he had no chance to expand his own faction.

Whether Jiraiya agrees or not, he must shoulder this burden.

In addition, Uchiha Siyue's various methods in the past few days made him more determined in his ideas.

That woman is too powerful, even more powerful than himself and Danzo. If I can't arrange all of this well,

If one day, Uchiha Shiyue has the idea of ​​becoming Hokage, then it's all over, because his three disciples will definitely not be able to beat her.

"What a stubborn old man."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen so determined, Jiraiya, knowing his teacher's temper, scratched his head in dissatisfaction.

Jiraiya now no longer needs to leave the village to look for the so-called child of prophecy.

But his experience of traveling around the ninja world in his early years made him not very fond of life staying in the village.

"My disciple is pretty good, why don't you consider him?"

The disciple that Jiraiya was referring to was naturally Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, he is indeed a genius."

When he heard the name of Minato Namikaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned subconsciously, and then relaxed his brows.

It was just a moment, but Jiraiya captured it keenly.

"Minato is still too young and needs more experience."

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected Namikaze Minato.

Although Minato Namikaze was Jiraiya's disciple, he should be considered as a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he was also well influenced by the will of fire.

But compared to Uchiha Siyue, he is still too young.

If he became the Hokage, he would have no way to suppress the other party. Besides, Danzo has done a favor to his girlfriend Kushina.

Given Minato Namikaze's personality, there's no guarantee that he won't be led by the nose, so Jiraiya is more reassuring.

Jiraiya was a smart man and quickly figured out the key.

What a pity, it looks like Minato will have to wait until Danzo and Shigetsu retire completely before he can fulfill his ambition.

Feeling sorry for his disciple in his heart, Jiraiya jumped off the table.

"Anyway, let's just survive this war first."

Jiraiya shook his white hair and said in a rather heroic manner.

"Be careful."

Seeing that Jiraiya was unwilling to continue this topic, Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually pulled down his hat.

However, the empty feeling made him realize that he was not in the Hokage's office at the moment, but in his own home.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already reached out his hand to his head, could only touch his forehead.

"Ah."

With his back turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya waved his hand, leaving only a benevolent back to his teacher.

……

"Big sister Siyue, Jiraiya just left Sarutobi Hiruzen's house."

Shortly after Jiraiya left, Uchiha Siyue in the Hokage's office received a report from Hinata Binbin.

At this time, Uchiha Siyue rested one hand on his cheek, his eyes focused on the information collected from the Iwagakure Village.

No opinion was expressed on this matter.

Seeing that Uchiha Siyue didn't say anything, Hinata Binbin, who came to report, lowered his head tactfully, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows.

"Ah... Really, the Iwagakure Village has done a much better job of keeping secrets than before."

After a long time, Uchiha Siyue put down the information and sighed leisurely.

Putting down the information in his hand, Uchiha Siyue's eyes turned cold.

Even after contacting many spies hiding in the Iwagakure Village, they were unable to obtain key information.

It seems that Lord Danzo has captured the Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village, which has made the old man Ohnoki more vigilant.

but……

Pick up the battle report beside you.

It was clearly recorded above that the Hidden Cloud Village had sent reinforcements, and Hyuga Genma switched from offense to strategic defense and repelled the enemy many times.

Now, more than 20,000 people from Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are fighting in the Land of Hot Springs, but Ōnoki did not attack him immediately, which proves that the other party has already made his move.

It seems that we still need to add more fuel to the fire.

The old man Ohnoki is a typical person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

This is the biggest reason why Konoha Village is now fighting with Kumogakure Village.

Or the children of the major ninja clans have not yet been sent to the front line in large numbers. Now only the elite of the Hyuga clan are supporting the front line.

During this period, even the number of enemies killed by Jiaodu has exceeded the number of people killed in exchange for bounties during the years of exile.

If any of the resentful creatures on earth had no limit on the number of hearts, no matter how powerful they were, they would have to have hundreds or even thousands of hearts.

"We must not show signs of weakness at a time like this. Only by continuing to advance can we make Ōnoki believe that the Hidden Cloud Village is about to collapse."

"Reinforce the troops! Ye Cang, inform all the major ninja clans to send reinforcements immediately!"

Without much thought, Uchiha Siyue made the decision.

"Uh-oh, okay."

"Wait, sister, I'm going too. It's faster for the two of us to pass the message together."

Looking at Uchiha Hongye and Ye Cang pushing the door open and walking out.

In the empty Hokage's office, Uchiha Siyue, who was feeling extremely tired, rested his chin on the table with both hands, muttering to himself.

"Danzo-sama... I miss you... How long will it take for this to end..."
