"You mean, after using the psychic technique, Jiraiya disappeared on the spot?" The three Hokage reconfirmed to Hanyu that the Hokage had left the table to entertain the envoys of the Uzumaki clan because of the latter's sudden report about Jiraiya.

"Yes," Hanyu nodded, and continued, "If the third generation and the others didn't have Jiraiya sign a specific psychic contract, then I assume he did it without a contract...... That's why I felt that this was a very serious matter, so I took the time to report it. ”

“……”

The Hokage didn't know what to say for a while, he knew that Jilai was also a bear child, but he didn't expect the other party to bear to that extent.

"But I don't think there's too much to worry about Jiraiya, his various reactions when he casts the spell are actually quite normal, except that the psychic beast didn't appear and he disappeared in reverse.

First of all, Jilai didn't explode into a cloud of blood mist on the spot; Secondly, at least the spatial channel was opened correctly when he cast the spell, and the remaining question was nothing more than where he would randomly fall into the ninja world. According to the slug's perception at the time, it felt some familiar breath the moment the spatial passage opened...... At the very least, there should be a stable space on the other side. Hanyu thought about it for a moment, and finally came up with this explanation.

Hanyu was the one who witnessed Jiraiya's disappearance, so he had some right to interpret the situation at the time, and he felt that Jiraiya's situation was worth worrying about, but it didn't seem necessary to worry too much.

Because it's very likely that when he is worried about him and looking for Jiraiya, his reaction over there is just "I'm out of the warehouse and I feel good".

"What the hell will happen to Jiraiya?" While Hanyu was seriously reporting the problem to the Hokage, Tsunade was also muttering to Orochimaru, and it could be seen that they were still very concerned about Jiraiya's situation.

"Who knows, if it's serious, he might die, but that guy shouldn't be so funny to die...... Although he had always been funny, his life would have been too sad if he had died in such a funny way. Orochimaru followed up and said, he didn't think ...... Or maybe he didn't want to die so easily.

Tsunade glared at Orochimaru, obviously this guy was also worried about Jiraiya, but why was he so arrogant in his speech? If you're worried, just say you're worried.

"I'll send the enchantment squad to investigate the traces left by Jiraiya's disappearance, hoping to find some clues, and then I'll send some people to search for him." After hearing the conversation between the two of them, the three Hokage said.

In fact, what happened to Jiraiya made the three generations of Hokage a little helpless, the whole world is not very big, but trying to find someone in the world is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hanyu's heart moved, it is said that the real space location of Mt. Myoki is thirty days away from Konoha and this distance should be calculated at the speed of ordinary people's movements, otherwise if it is calculated at the speed of ninjas, those thirty days are enough for them to run to Mars...... If you think about it this way, in fact, Miaomu Mountain will not be too far away, and if you can really find out the direction of his spatial transfer from the traces left by Jiraiya, then there must be a possibility of searching.

It happened suddenly, but there was no hurry, and even after making these arrangements, the Hokage returned to his seat and continued to receive the emissaries of the Uzumaki clan.

Even if it's the Hokage, there will be a lot of people who can't help themselves...... No, it should be said that it was precisely because Sarutobi became the Hokage that he had more involuntary bodies. At this time of Uzumaki's visit, it was impossible for the three generations of Hokage to disrupt his reception arrangements for Jiraiya's personal affairs, even if Jirai was also his disciple.

Hanyu was also temporarily left here, but his reason for staying here was much simpler than the Hokage's major negotiation mission...... Responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

He took the opportunity to observe some of the emissaries of the Vortex Clan up close, and although he couldn't see with his eyes how powerful the chakras were on these people, it could be seen from the gestures of these people that they seemed to have an indescribable temperament...... The ninjas who have been condensed by blood ties and are of the Celestial clan seem to be like this, and they have something very different from the civilian ninjas.

However, today Konoha just gave a grand reception to the envoy of the Uzumaki clan, and did not do any substantive conversation, the other party will stay in Konoha for a while, and some important things will be talked about later. Therefore, after entertaining this group of people, considering that the other party was tired of the long journey, the Hokage arranged for them to rest...... Even the resting place of the Uzumaki clan is in the mansion of the Ape Fei clan.

This shows the close alliance between Konoha and Uzumaki. Although Konoha has also formed an alliance with Yunyin now, there is no doubt that allies are not the same as allies.

Hanyu stood outside a hallway, watching the people of the Uzumaki clan being arranged, and after a while, the three generations of Hokage, Uzumaki Mito, and Mishino came towards him.

As they walked, they discussed another matter.

"It is necessary to limit the number of upper ninjas, after all, as the highest combat power of a ninja village, upper ninjas are all talents and even pillars of the battlefield, and it is impossible to relax the selection criteria. Only by limiting the number of ninjas can we maintain sufficient competitiveness and ensure the strength level of the ninjas, but ...... The problem now is that the number of ninjas in the village is growing due to the emergence of the ninja school training system, and if it weren't for the war damage, our ninja population would have swelled rapidly. The three Hokages said to Uzumaki Mito.

"There are more and more ninjas, it's really a trend...... Do you mean that if the number of upper ninjas can't be opened, then a large number of ninjas will always stay at the level of middle ninja? Uzumaki Mito quickly understood the meaning of Sarutobi's words.

"Yes, Mito-sama, on the one hand, this will lead to a bloated structure at the parallel level, and on the other hand, the middle shinobi who has not been able to get promoted will also cause some psychological problems."

"So, what's your solution?"

"I'm going to set up a new ninja level to arrange some ninjas whose strength is higher than that of the middle ninja but not up to the upper ninja level...... As the name suggests, you can call them 'Special Shinobi'. "The third Hokage gave his solution.

He was going to change Konoha's ninja level structure again and create a new ninja level...... Generally speaking, this should be a good change, and he has at least solved the problem of promotion channels for middle-level cadres in a large enterprise.

If the project team leader can't be promoted to manager, then they can be given the title of deputy manager.

Hanyu, who overheard one ear, crooked his mouth, and said in his heart that he would clean up these flashy and vain things...... Although these false names should be quite useful, after all, no one would want to retire with the name of the middle ninja, right, especially the upper ninja, it sounds more atmospheric than the middle ninja.

However, in Hanyu's view, "special forbearance" just sounds good, "upper forbearance" and "special forbearance", probably the difference between Mrs. and Mrs. Ru, the former husband and wife Kun, Zheng'er Bajing is in charge of the other, and the latter, such as Mrs., listen, what is "like a lady"?

To put it nicely, it's nothing more than a concubine.

In the same way, what is called "special upper ninja", it is not upper ninja, it is just a middle ninja who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Fortunately...... Hanyu is just a shinobi, and the changes in the personnel organization above have little to do with him, otherwise he would definitely take the lead in opposing this chaotic personnel change.
