If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

Inside the Hokage Building.

The Hokage Building is bustling with people today.

Guests and daimyos from various countries were invited here.

Jiraiya had a headache.

He remembered that Sandai had given him a letter.

The letter was about whether or not to invite Kage from various ninja villages under the guise of the Chunin Exams to discuss the invasion of the parallel universe.

Jiraiya's answer was to wait and see for a while.

However, no one expected that representatives from various countries would still come!

Jiraiya was a little annoyed.

So, teacher, you just informed me and didn't discuss it with me?

Jiraiya didn't know that these were actually done by the daimyos of the Land of Fire, and that the ultimate person responsible was Sasuke.

The poor third generation also unconsciously took the blame after Danzo's death.

"Ah my, isn't this Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas? Little Jiraiya, where is your master Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

"Now, people from all over the world have gathered in Konoha. I admit that Konoha is the strongest ninja village, and your status and position in Konoha are high enough. Even your name as a great writer is well-known throughout the ninja world, but he arranged for you to come here to greet us. Isn't your Hokage a little too arrogant?"

"You know, we were all invited, but we couldn't even meet the Hokage. Although Konoha is the strongest ninja village, there is no need to be so arrogant, right?"

Beside Huang Tu, Ohno Mupi spoke with a wry smile.

All we can say is that he is worthy of being an elder statesman, the Tsuchikage who led the Iwagakure Village toward prosperity.

Between the lines he was still flattering Konoha, constantly talking about how it was the strongest ninja village and how arranging a writer to receive them meant that they were not valued.

Just one sentence provoked opposition and contradiction.

If it were before, his words like this would have completely put Jiraiya on the spot.

Moreover, his words also made people from other ninja villages around him unite against the common enemy.

Yes! Why do you, Konoha?

Are you still acting like you are the most powerful ninja village?

With so many of us Kage and their representatives coming, you, the Hokage of Konoha, are reluctant to put down what you are doing and come to see us?

Are you really out of breath when I say that Konoha is strong?

Do you really feel that you are so busy that you don’t even have time to come and see us?

Jiraiya noticed that their eyes began to become unfriendly, and he scratched his head, feeling a headache.

This is why he doesn't want to be Hokage!

Too much trouble!

Jiraiya smiled bitterly, then summoned the Hokage robe from the scroll.

Mizuto Menen hasn't been to the Hokage Building much since his last major bleeding.

None of these Anbu members dared to supervise him.

He found the Hokage robe troublesome, so he simply stopped wearing it.

He didn't want to be one himself, and he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it off if he wore it too often.

"Sorry, everyone, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the current Hokage of Konoha - the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku - Jiraiya!"

Even though he had been having a rough time recently, Jiraiya couldn't help but get all animated when it came to introducing himself.

Of course, there is also a part of establishing authority.

The Toad Sage of Myōboku Mountain.

One of the three holy places.

Immortal.

These are very meaningful. He travels all over the country on a daily basis, and this name has intimidated many villains.

Unfortunately, everyone present was a well-known figure, and no one was afraid of his name.

"Hehe, when did you, Konoha, choose a new Hokage? You guys hid it from us so well that we only found out today."

Mizukage Mei Terumi covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, then stared at Jiraiya with a captivating gaze.

"I have just been the Mizukage for a short time. I am not like you who have teachers and elders to teach me. I am a little girl who has no one to rely on and became the Mizukage. I feel overwhelmed in many areas. When this is over, can you invite me to your office to discuss the experience of running the village in depth?"

After saying this, Mei Terumi revealed the attitude of a little woman.

Jiraiya looked away from Mei Terumi and admitted that she was as strong as Tsunade.

If Mei Terumi had a different identity, he would not hesitate to share his experience in village management with her.

But who is the other party?

The super ruthless man who puts an end to the blood mist!

The Mizukage who single-handedly pushed the Hidden Mist Village, which was about to fall out of the top five strongest villages, back to the top again - Mei Terumi!

If you only look at the appearance and the other person's feminine demeanor.

There is no doubt that being eaten up is the best outcome.

"Mizukage, you are too modest."

The Fengying at the side also spoke up.

His voice was hoarse.

"You just said you are the current Hokage of Konoha, not the Fifth Hokage. Why?"

"Are you just temporary?"

Jiraiya found it difficult to face the aggressive Kazekage who had always been in Konoha.

What's going on?

Is he blaming me for not saying hello to him for so long?

hateful!

Didn't we form an alliance with Konoha and your Sand Village? Why do you want to embarrass Konoha at this time?

"The candidate for the Fifth Hokage has already been chosen. He and the Third Hokage are out on a secret mission, so I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"In Konoha now, I am the acting Hokage recognized by both the Daimyo and the Ninja Village."

"Don't worry, everyone. Everything I say and do will represent the Hokage and Konoha."

There was nothing Zilai could do but laugh it off and fool everyone.

Otherwise, he would feel really tired of having to engage in such roundabout confrontations endlessly.

As for the parallel universe thing?

At this moment, he temporarily placed all his hopes on the Chunin Exam.

He only hoped that these new Genin of Konoha would give the rest of the village a little shock.

By then, by leveraging Konoha's strength and performance, we will be able to have and control more voice.

After all, the strong men of the older generation will abdicate sooner or later, just like the third generation.

The strength of the newly-born leaves will be the future strength of the big tree of Konoha.

Jiraiya is still very confident about these.

Konoha opened the Five Elements Ninjutsu early on, and the two strongest blood limits were also on the list of candidates for this exam.

In addition there is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Oh, right... I had agreed to be Naruto's mentor, but unfortunately, since I became the Hokage, I've been so busy that I barely have time..."

"The exam is about to start, so we need to give him some urgent training in the next two days..."

"First, teach him the summoning technique, and then try to see if we can tamper with his seal so that he can use some of the Nine-Tails' power in this exam..."

"Of course, the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox is a double-edged sword. It would be a laughing stock if it got out of control... We still have to see how strong that guy is."

Jiraiya thought to himself, then looked at the people who came.

When his eyes moved to a head of blue hair and a ninja wearing a bamboo hat whose face could not be seen clearly following behind him, Jiraiya was slightly stunned.

Konan's eyes avoided Jiraiya and she lowered her head.

"Sensei Jiraiya...became the acting Hokage?"
