Jiraiya heard Minato's words and shook his head.

"You've been in this position for a few months and you should know

This is the walking witch."

Hearing Jiraiya mention the "walking miko", Minato's eyes widened and he said with a look of disbelief.

"Of course I know she's a great intelligence expert."

"That's right, the period when she was active in the nations was during the second war between me, Orochimaru, and Tsunade on the elementary battlefield."

Jiraiya crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the not-so-good past events from more than ten years ago.

"Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the intelligence she sent at critical moments.

Whether I can walk off the battlefield alive is a question."

“But as far as I know, she has retired from her roots and has also stepped down from her duties in the medical ninja class.

She should now hold the position of director of the orphanage in Konoha."

"Hey, I'm afraid this is Danzo's arrangement."

The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open again, and Hiruzen walked in wearing a home kimono.

At this time, he was not yet sixty years old, and his hair was still thick, but not to the extent that his hairline would be comparable to Onoki's more than ten years later.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to Jiraiya's master and disciple with a pipe in his mouth.

He glanced at the tall Jiraiya first, and then snorted softly.

"You did a pretty good job this time. You delivered the information in a timely manner."

This undisciplined disciple who used to make Hiruzen's scalp numb the most has now become the one who makes him feel at ease the most.

I have to say, things are tricky.

In fact, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, the most suitable person to become Hokage after the war is Jiraiya.

By choosing him, Orochimaru's resentment towards him will undoubtedly be alleviated a lot. After all, Jiraiya still has some friendship with Orochimaru. If he loses to his old teammate with whom he has shared life and death for many years in the competition, he will feel less resentful than losing to a junior. .

The two of them can also inherit the pattern of Hiruzen and Danzo co-ruling Konoha openly and secretly, and letting Orochimaru take over the root from Danzo can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.

In a few years, when Minato has fully grown up and his political skills and prestige have reached their peak, wouldn't it be nice to have Jiraiya step down as Hokage and pass it on to his disciples?

But Hiruzen himself knew it very well.

I watched this person grow from a little white-haired pervert to a big white-haired pervert day by day.

I will never be willing to sit in the position of Hokage, as if this chair is filled with thousands of books.

If you dare to let him become Hokage, he will dare to run away and peek at the women's bathhouse on the day of the inheritance ceremony.

That's the Hokage. Danzo wants to be the Hokage, so much so that his appearance is so ugly.

The Uchiha clan is holding back so many pink eyes just thinking about becoming Hokage.

Do you, Jiraiya, think that an opportunity that no one else can ask for is so unbearable?

Hiruzen sighed and stopped thinking about these bad things.

But Jiraiya's troubles are now the least troublesome to Hiruzen.

Tsunade ran away from Konoha and drank and gambled all day long. When Hiruzen thought of this poor child, he felt that he had failed the cultivation and entrustment of Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei.

Orochimaru drifted away from him because of the failure of the Fourth Hokage, and now he switched to Danzo's command.

When it comes to Danzo, this guy can no longer be considered a thorn in Hiruzen's side, but a thorn in his side.

After Hiruzen retired, he had talked to his old friend several times, with only one purpose.

Let him hand over the power of his roots.

Except for Danzo himself, no one knows better than Hiruzen what scale and power the roots have grown to.

In terms of actual combat ability, it was originally the foundation of the ANBU ninja training institution, and most of the best talents selected became its own backbone.

In terms of scientific research capabilities, the addition of Orochimaru, coupled with the previous efforts to cultivate wood escape ninjas, Hiruzen devoted a large amount of resources to the roots during his reign.

In terms of intelligence collection capabilities, this is originally the main function of Root. It is no exaggeration to say that Root’s intelligence network has spread across the five major countries.

Such a department that absorbs the nutrients of Konoha and has its own system that is independent of other departments of Konoha and is not subject to supervision.

No matter who becomes Hokage, will he safely leave it in the hands of someone he does not absolutely trust?

“I’ll go talk to Danzo myself about this matter.

Yondaime, please stop interfering. "

"Yes, three generations of adults."

Hiruzen looked at Minato, who didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, and forced a smile on his face.

When he turned his attention to Jiraiya who was looking at the ceiling,

"Asshole, are you just hanging around in the village like this?

There are many A-level tasks in the mission commissioning office that are not being carried out. Do you want me to do them myself?"

"Hey old man, I didn't offend you, did I?

Am I not going to stay in the village to protect the safety of the Jinchūriki?"

“The village is safe and I don’t believe anyone dares to come to Konoha to provoke at this time.

For the sake of Kushina and Minato, you should set out quickly to find Tsunade.

Do you want to wait until their child is born before setting off?

Are you bringing Tsunade back to drink your child’s birthday drink?”

"Well, well~

Sandai and Jiraiya-sensei, please stop saying a few words.

Kushina is doing well now, and her due date is still several months away. "

After scolding Jiraiya, the irritability in Uncle Hiruzen's heart finally dissipated a little, and he walked out of the Hokage's office with his hands behind his back.

Hiruzen walked on the streets of Konoha, smiling and nodding to the villagers and ninjas who saluted him. He would also stop to chat briefly with familiar guys when he met them.

A child who was playing a ninja game bumped into him blankly. Not only was he not angry, he even rubbed the child's hair and activated his will of fire.

However, when he reached the remote outskirts, the friendly smile on Hiruzen's face gradually disappeared.

Two masked ANBU ninjas appeared quietly behind him. Judging from their figures, they were a man and a woman.

"Let's go to the roots."

Hiruzen said succinctly.

The two ANBU ninjas behind him followed Hiruzen's footsteps without saying a word.

The identities of these two people are Hiruzen's eldest son and daughter-in-law.

They are far less famous than Sarutobi Asuma, who is still a rebellious middle school boy, but six years later, they raised a child with amazing talent, Sarutobi Konohamaru.
