As long as people are idle, they will always unconsciously ponder some inexplicable things. A person like Han, who has been isolated in the ninja world for too long, can't judge the correct situation. The cranky conclusions, combined with preconceived notions, only made him even more dissatisfied with what the Iwain Village had done. Changes in mentality will naturally affect one's thoughts and actions.

Tight defenses are often breached from within, and an impeccable deployment can reveal flaws that can be exploited by the enemy.

……

In the southwest of the Fire Country, near the country of Kawano, in the inn of a small village and town, Jiraiya untied the small note tied to the leg of the herald eagle that stayed on his left arm, and then with a wave of his left hand, the herald eagle took off, spread its huge wings, and flew back in the direction of Konoha Village. Then Jiraiya turned around and walked back to the room, opened the small note and looked at it.

After a long time, Jiraiya sighed.

"It's not peaceful anywhere, but it's okay. ”

The middle ninja exam ended smoothly, there were no major problems, Konoha Village took the top four, and the lower ninja was in the limelight, which should be able to deter the hostile forces that were about to move for the time being.

The only trouble seems to be that the village has been exposed to internal discord, which has made outsiders see the joke. It's okay to fabricate rumors and smear each other, even to the point of drawing knives against each other, which is really tricky.

Although there has never been peace in the village, there are always open and secret battles. But apart from the Uchiha family's affairs, there are very few major things that are brought to the table. Even if it was the slaughter of the Uchiha family, it was Uchiha Itachi who carried the black cauldron, and very few people knew about this matter, but the impact was indeed far-reaching!

In addition, there are some things that have caught Jiraiya's attention.

"Uchiha Itachi, Rain Shinobi Village?"

The former and Zilai have had a few encounters, but they are all big fights. And the rain ninja village reminded me of the terrifying Sanshoyu Hanzo unconsciously, as well as his three students who had already died.

is obviously highly qualified, and even Nagato has an eye of reincarnation, so it is a pity to die in the war.

The Land of Rain has always been closed and self-contained, but now it is even more invisible to the outside world, which is even more mysterious than the Land of Water, which is far from the mainland. Recently, there have been no major wars in the ninja world, and there are many fewer people paying attention to a strategic place like the Land of Rain.

For a long time, the Land of Rain has always been a source of civil strife, and until now, not many people in the outside world have figured out what is going on inside. It is not surprising to say that some rebel group is hiding in it. It's just that with Naruto Uzumaki by his side, he has a lot of responsibility, and it is impossible to leave Naruto behind and go to that kind of place to risk reconnaissance.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Since it is a time of peace for the time being, it is better not to act rashly.

Seeing that Jiraiya was back, Naruto Uzumaki, who had been waiting impatiently in the room for a long time, suddenly shouted.

"Lustful immortal, so slow, didn't you say that you taught me to practice today?

"Literally! How many times have I said it, I want you to have a little more patience and perseverance!"

Zilai also said with a headache,

"Don't talk about this, I just got the news that your companion Sasuke Uchiha won the first place in the middle ninja exam, and now he is very famous!"

"The first in the Shinobi exam?"

Naruto Uzumaki was taken aback,

"When will the middle ninja exam be held again, why don't I know?"

"Half a month ago, I was also for your good, so as not to distract you from your cultivation, so I didn't tell you. ”

"fairy, you're too bad. When I'm not around, Sasuke is in the limelight, which is bad, maybe Sakura will be attracted to that stinky guy. No, I'm going back to challenge Sasuke!"

After saying that, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't wait to return to the village, but was held down by Jiraiya's big hand on his shoulder.

"Save your strength, Naruto, Sasuke is the strongest shinobi who has defeated all the competitors in the ninja world, you are the way you are now, you don't have to worry about cultivation, how can you win him, you will only be defeated when you go back, maybe you will be looked down upon!"

"What then?"

Naruto was a little depressed, pouting and complaining very dissatisfied,

"Kakashi-sensei doesn't know how many tricks he has been taught, it's really eccentric!"

"Don't worry, with my toad immortal teaching you, you will definitely not be worse than Sasuke! you should be patient now and look at what I gave you, and practice refining chakra refining and manipulation......"

To put it mildly, Naruto was finally persuaded to stop, and Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Or the competition of his peers is more pressure, so he can work hard!"

Naruto, who has a poor foundation, has too much homework that needs to take time to make up for it, and relying only on Spiral Pill and Spiritism, he can only reach this level. If you want to go one step closer, you can't do it without a solid foundation.

After convincing Naruto, Jiraiya took out his pen and wrote a few sentences at the end of the small note of information he received, which can be summed up in one meaning: calm down.

Then a small toad emerges, rolls the note into a ball, seals it, and stuffs it into the toad's mouth, allowing it to take back to Tsunade.

Being on the outside, I can also see it more clearly, a little bit of a small contradiction is actually irrelevant, as long as there are no major problems.

If these problems arise in the village, the root cause is not to be considered, but the solution is simple.

"Invincible foreign patients, the country will perish. 』

Now the threat to the village from external pressure is not great, so that some small things come to the fore. By the time the three tails are resurrected and the "Akatsuki" organization takes another large-scale operation, it will be too late to unite with the outside world, so how can there be time to care about these small things?

The last calm before the turmoil does not need to be changed too much, just try to maintain and improve the combat power of the village.

Tsunade is indeed a qualified Hokage, but in terms of the overall situation, he may not have a lofty vision. It is not without reason why after the death of the third generation of the war, the first successor that everyone thinks of is Jiraiya, not Tsunade, who has a more noble bloodline and a better reputation.

Orochimaru's defection was not necessarily a blow to Jiraiya than Sasuke's defection was a blow to Naruto, and the strong man who was bound by the mental cage he had built ended up regretting his dream of Hokage.

……

In the early spring of March, even if it is one step later than the warm land of fire, the country of Taki-no-kuni in the north is also in the season of recovery. The Mizuki clone who secretly followed him waited until Fu and her companions returned to Taki Shinobi Village, and they didn't see anyone doing anything to them......
