Chiyo's face showed a struggle and hesitation.

"Grandma, I understand what you insist on, but it is meaningless. Civilization ultimately needs to progress. If conservative traditions affect the development of the great era, then we should abandon them without hesitation, right?"

Chiyo was still holding on in her heart. She wanted to see what the Sand Village looked like before she said anything.

The next moment, she was horrified.

What's going on?

I actually hesitated?

Did the thought in my mind just now betray the consciousness of the Sand?

I actually wanted to betray the village and the daimyo?

Damn it! This empire is so terrible!

They are so good at brainwashing!

Chiyo suppressed the throbbing in her heart and frantically hinted to herself not to betray the village. If she betrayed the village, there would be no one to save the brothers and sisters in the village who were in dire straits.

But when she saw the oases dotted with stars and large tracts of wheat in the Wind Country, she wavered again.

What is the meaning of the village's existence?

What is the meaning of the ninja's existence?

What is the meaning of her existence?

In the final analysis, isn't it to allow everyone to live in a peaceful and harmonious environment, where everyone can live and work in peace, have enough food to eat, and live a good life?

Now that the empires of this world have all these things, what are you still insisting on?

"By the way, Scorpion, you said your Red Sand... machinery? With more than 2,000 chakra beasts, I want to ask you, what does this organization you mentioned do?"

Chiyo wanted to know more about her grandson's situation, and then analyze the situation of this world.

"Me? I am equivalent to a puppeteer organization! The main work is what you see, developing various puppets!"

Scorpion tried to express it in a language that Chiyo could understand.

Chiyo nodded.

"Then how many puppeteers do you have?"

Scorpion frowned slightly, thinking frantically in his mind, and it took a long time before he gave a difficult answer.

"If we talk about puppeteers who can control puppets, assemble and disassemble them, there should be more than 800,000, but there are only about 200,000 of them."

Scorpion counted the after-sales guys in the repair shop.

Chiyo was dumbfounded.

"Duo... Duo Shao?"

800,000 puppeteers, then controlling puppets means a million troops!

Then the organization under Scorpion can sweep their five major countries!

"You hold so much military power in your hands... Aren't your rulers afraid?"

Chiyo couldn't believe that someone would let such a powerful organization under their control.

"Ah? Afraid? Some time ago, Secretary-General Tsunade held a meeting with us and said that my expansion was too slow and too small. She also asked me to train one million more junior puppeteers within five years and one million senior puppeteers within ten years..."

Chiyo felt that the numbers Scorpion said were horrifying.

The rulers here...are too...

Should I say arrogant or insolent?

"Grandma, join us, you have to help me!"

"Can you bear to see your poor grandson being bullied by a big-breasted old woman every time he attends a meeting?"

"I also want to go to another world to play, grandma, please help me!"

Chiyo was silent, her grandson's coquetry could break her defense more than anything else.

"I can help you, but...I can't join your empire, I can't betray the village and the daimyo..."

Chiyo said, and her confidence began to lack.

......

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya in front of him with a heavy face.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En beside him also looked ugly.

"Jiraiya, Danzo has been out of contact for a while! He went to deal with the ninjas in the parallel universe."

"Tenzo was also taken away by them. I can't contact the two of them until now. If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen!"

"If they hold a grudge against Konoha because of Danzo, then Konoha will probably suffer a catastrophe!"

"The Chunin Exam is imminent. We have invited people from the four nearby ninja villages. Some of them have even arrived in Konoha. If we stop now, it may arouse their suspicion!"

"I want to ask you to serve as the temporary Hokage. Of course, this is also what we and the daimyo think!"

"I am old, and the current situation in the ninja world is complicated. I know that I don't have much ability to lead Konoha to sail safely in this turbulent sea! Jiraiya, you are my apprentice, and we are also the most trustworthy and most suitable candidate for Hokage! I want you to serve as the temporary Hokage!"

FacedJiraiya felt heavy in his heart as the three people looked at him affirmatively.

Has it really come to this?

Is war finally coming?

The teacher asked him to be the Hokage...

Any ninja with a firm fire consciousness would be ecstatic to become the Hokage.

Countless people have flocked to this position for countless years.

But unfortunately, Jiraiya is not one of them!

He firmly believes that his mission is to find the child of prophecy, and the value and meaning of his existence is to guide the child of prophecy. He has never thought of relying on his own strength to change, or control this terrible era and world.

"Teacher... I'm sorry... I can't be the Hokage..."

Jiraiya looked ashamed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face sank.

"Jiraiya! Now is the time for everyone to step forward and dedicate the fire consciousness! Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

Facing the harsh shout of the third generation, Jiraiya lowered his head even more.

Seeing Jiraiya silent, the third generation sighed.

"The root may have died. If the leaf has no root, how long can it survive?"

"I have decided to escape. You will be the Hokage on the surface, and I will find a way to find out the information of their group of people behind the scenes!"

"After all, Konoha cannot move. With such a large village here, we are very passive. If the other party goes all out, will there still be Konoha in the ninja world?"

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. I want to rely on my meager strength to keep a little fire for our Konoha. If everything goes well, it would be the best. But if something really goes wrong, then our Konoha will have a chance to make a comeback!"

"Jiraiya! Do you understand? I don't want the hard work of the first and second generations to go to waste in our generation!"

Jiraiya was deeply touched when he heard his teacher's pessimistic words.

Does he want Konoha to disappear before his eyes?

But asking him to be Hokage... He really felt that he was unworthy!

He failed to retain his best friend, failed to protect his apprentice...

Can someone like him be Hokage?

"Jiraiya, don't hesitate! Konoha's survival is at stake!"
