Chapter 180: Refusal (II)
"Now that Orochimaru guy doesn't know where to run, and he won't be able to find it anymore, it's all because of the lustful immortals, that's why he missed such a good opportunity." Naruto's spit was about to squirt on Jiraiya's face.
Jiraiya kept a confused face the whole time, and waited until Naruto finished speaking before he blinked and reacted.
"Smack."
"Stupid Naruto!" He stood up suddenly, slapped Naruto on the head, and yelled at him, "Is there water in your head?" β
"Orochimaru is seriously injured, even you only know about it now in Mute, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, how can I know in advance?"
As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to his nose, "Naruto, you can figure it out, I'm a toad immortal, not a six-way immortal, do you really think I'm a prophet?" β
Jiraiya really didn't know about Orochimaru's serious injury before this, when he arrived at the venue of the third exam of the middle ninja, Orochimaru had already left, leaving only the corpses of the three generations of Hokage in place, and the shadows who watched the battle between the three generations of Hokage and Orochimaru before that didn't know the specific situation because they couldn't see the god of death.
And when I met Orochimaru just now, among several insiders, of course Orochimaru and Dou would not expose their shortcomings, Tsunade had not yet come out of the state of hemophobia, and Mute was confronting Dou, and after seeing Orochimaru leave, he only thought about seeing Tsunade's situation first, and he didn't think to remind him.
And Sakura, who was traveling with Jiraiya, although she was also one of the insiders, and knew more about the details than Tsunade and, but she didn't tell him about Orochimaru's serious injury.
The reason is very simple, first of all, Sakura's real purpose this time is to ask Orochimaru about whether the spell mark can be improved, if Orochimaru is really killed by Jiraiya, although he will not really die, but will be reborn, but he has so many strongholds, how does Sakura know where it will be, then she still asks Mao.
And Sakura can't reasonably explain why she knew about Orochimaru's serious injury, knowing that she wasn't there at the time.
As for why Jiraiya took the Six Dao Immortals as an example, it was because in the long-term war in the ninja world, a lot of information had been lost in the long river of time, and the strength of the Six Dao Immortals was too strong, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas, so now people basically only think that the Six Dao Immortals are just a myth and legend, not a real person, and no one will know that he is the ancestor of the ninja.
Moreover, because of the various magic changes on the way to the spread, the legends of the six immortals have also evolved into many kinds, and saving the world from monsters is just one of the more popular versions.
I also say this, which can basically be understood as, are you and I God?
"I... I..."After listening to Jiraiya's words, Naruto suddenly didn't know what to say.
His personality is inherently babbling, and he often speaks with no brain, and, with his brain, it is impossible to expect him to think of all these causes and consequences before he speaks.
But Naruto didn't want to admit that he had a brain pump before, and finally said with a hard mouth, "Lustful immortal, aren't you the same partner as Orochimaru?" In that case, can't you still see that he was bluffing before? β
"Hey, hey, Naruto, you're too vexatious, aren't you? If that's the case, didn't you tell me before that you had close contact with Orochimaru during the middle ninja exam? And I haven't seen him in more than ten years, so you should know more about him than me, right? Zilai also retorted, and unceremoniously retorted to the army.
"This ......" Naruto was completely speechless at this moment, he had seen Orochimaru before, but how did he know the identity of that strange woman at that time.
At this moment, a man rescued Naruto.
"Bang!"
"Enough, it's noisy, you two shut up for me, I don't want to watch you fight here." Tsunade, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, slapped the table hard and said.
After the two of them were honestly quiet, she looked at Jiraiya with drunken eyes, "Jiraiya, you asked so much just now, and now it's my turn to ask you, why are you here?" β
As she spoke, she waved her finger, "Don't say that you happened to be passing by, no one will believe this kind of thing." β
Jiraiya shook his head, "Of course I'm not passing by, Tsunade, I came to you on purpose this time." β
"Oh? Did you come to me on purpose? Hehe. Tsunade smiled and said with emotion, "Fate is really wonderful, you two people who haven't seen each other for more than ten years will actually appear on the same day." β
"That guy from Orochimaru came to me so that I could heal him, but what about you? You're not going to get hurt too, are you? β
"I'm here this time to ask you to come back to Konoha and serve as the fifth Hokage of Konoha."
"What do you say? Let me be the Hokage, what are you kidding? Tsunade said with a look of surprise on his face.
Jiraiya said solemnly, "I'm not joking, what I said is true, you also know that the three generations of Hokage have been killed by Orochimaru, and Konoha is now withering, and there is no one in the village who has enough prestige to succeed the Hokage, so I came to ......"
"Isn't that still you?" Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted him.
"Aha......" Tsunade yawned, supported his chin with the back of his hand, and said lazily, "The third generation Hokage is your master, the fourth generation Hokage is your apprentice, and you yourself are also a legendary ninja who is famous in Konoha, and you will be the fifth generation Hokage, will anyone be dissatisfied and opposed?" β
"That's true, yes." Jiraiya first agreed with her words, and then changed the subject, "But Tsunade, you also know that with my character, I prefer to live a free and easy life, and I prefer to travel to the ninja world to collect materials, rather than being tied to the Hokage's position, so I can't be the Hokage anyway." β
After hearing this, Tsunade immediately asked without thinking about it, "If you can't do it, then can I?" β
"Of course you can." Jiraiya said with certainty, "Your identity, qualifications, popularity, ability, all meet the conditions to become Hokage, and I also talked to the three advisors before I came, and they all agreed. β
"Hmph, don't use those three old guys to press me." Tsunade had a disgruntled look on her face, she had always looked down on the three members of the Elders.
Then, as if she remembered something, she pursed her lips and said, "By the way, speaking of the three of them, hasn't Danzou always wanted to be the Hokage?" Since you don't want to be it, why don't you just give it to him? β
Jiraiya showed a wry smile, "Tsunade, Tuanzang is already seventy years old, not to mention whether he can gain the trust of the ninjas and the daimyo, even if he really becomes the Hokage, he won't live for a few years, and then he will still choose the sixth generation Hokage, in this way, the frequent change of the village chief will have very serious consequences for the mentality of the villagers, which is very bad for Konoha." β
Even for ninjas, seventy years old is a very high age, and the god of death is basically already beckoning, after all, ninjas are not immortal cultivators, no matter how high their strength is, they can't add lifespan, and their energy and strength will be greatly attenuated when they reach their age, and it will be difficult to be competent for the work of the Hokage, and others don't know that the group has the first generation of cells, and they are alive all day long.
At the beginning, the third generation of Hokage also abdicated in his fifties to make way for Xian, but he had to re-serve as Hokage because of the accidental death of Bo Feng Shuimen.
As sad as him is the Tsuchikage Onoki, the lack of talent in Iwakuin Village is even greater than that of Konoha, Konoha has a Kakashi who can support the faΓ§ade, Iwakure doesn't even have one, the most important thing that makes Onoki vomit blood is that he finally cultivated the genius of Deidara, and as a result, this unlucky kid also defected......
So to sum up, it's not actually a mantra to hide when you say this, of course, if this is heard by Tuan Zang, it will definitely be blown up.
"Okay, don't say it, anyway, I refuse."
"Hokage or something, there's no way I'm going to be it." It's a pity that even when it comes to this, Tsunade still chooses to refuse.
Seeing this, Jiraiya had no choice but to say helplessly, "Because of Orochimaru's invasion and the fact that he also killed three generations of Hokage, the entire Konoha ninja is panicked, and the other four great powers have now learned about it, Konoha is now in a situation where they are eyeing it, and if it continues like this, the Fourth Ninja World War may break out at any time, and at that time, Konoha without the leadership of the Hokage is like a flat boat in the wind and rain, and there is a risk of destruction at any time." β
"Tsunade, Konoha is a village that your grandfather built with great effort, can you really bear to watch it destroy under the siege of the other four powers?"
Jiraiya deliberately made the situation much worse in order to get Tsunade back, in fact, although Konoha is very dangerous now, it is far from the level of destruction that he said.
Not to mention the rest, the country of the wind has just signed an alliance agreement with Konoha , although only interests between countries are the most important, and the alliance agreement is not reliable at all, but if you immediately regret it after signing it, it will be too ugly, it will greatly affect the image of Sand Hidden Village, and the number of tasks will plummet, after all, the publisher of the task still prefers the ninja village with a good reputation.
And the Sand Hidden Village is also dead Wind Shadow, and now it's also a mess, Konoha at least has a candidate who can succeed the Hokage, and Sand Hide doesn't even have a ninja who is qualified to succeed the Wind Shadow now {although it is not specifically written, but according to my Airo's recollections, he only became the Wind Shadow not long ago in Shippuden}, even if he wants to invade Konoha again, he is powerless.
And because of the geographical location and the fact that it didn't take long for Mitsumi to become the water shadow, there is no possibility of invasion, so Konoha is actually not too dangerous.
"Really? In that case, it's even more unlikely that I'll go back to be a Hokage. β
Jiraiya's words seemed to have the opposite effect, and after listening to them, Tsunade said such words instead.
"The first Hokage, the second Hokage, the third Hokage, the fourth Hokage." Tsunade said lightly, "None of the previous Hokages of Konoha died normally, and they all gave their lives for the sake of the village. β
"Life is not the same as money, it is much more valuable than money, so if you don't cherish your life, these people are the stupidest guys in the world."
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, looked at Tsunade, and said in a complicated manner, "Tsunade, you have changed, you used to be, you would never say such a thing." β
Tsunade scoffed, "Isn't that normal?" People are subject to change, and with the passage of time, hasn't Orochimaru become different from before? β
"Speaking of which, Teacher Ape Fei is really, obviously he is a seventy-year-old man, isn't it good to retire early and enjoy the blessings? If you have to be strong, you are simply looking for death. β
She looked at Jiraiya, her eyes were as dead as water, and she said calmly, "Only a fool would be willing to take a position like Hokage. β
"Enough!"
"You guy...... You guy......" Naruto, who had been listening, stood up abruptly and looked at Tsunade angrily, his hands clenched into fists under the table, his lips trembling with anger.
From the beginning to the present, the little favor that Tsunade had just generated for helping him out of the siege has long been gone, and now his heart is only full of anger.
For Naruto, the Hokage is the noblest ideal, the ultimate goal of his struggle, although he cries out every day to become the strongest Hokage beyond the previous Hokage, they are the people he admires and admires the most.
But now, this woman dared to belittle the Hokage like this, which was something he absolutely couldn't accept.
"You guy, you dare to insult Grandpa Hokage and the Hokage of the past generations in front of me, I can't forgive you."
"Even if you are a woman, I will never spare you!"
Naruto jumped to his feet and lunged at Tsunade, who was close at hand, while slamming his fist into Tsunade's face.
"Naruto, don't." Jiraiya's eyes widened at this scene as he reached out to grab Naruto, but he was a step too slow.
Tsunade looked at Naruto who rushed towards her contemptuously, under the huge difference in strength between the two sides, Naruto's movements seemed to have been slowed down countless times in her eyes, it was simply slow, and the strength of the other party was not worth mentioning in her eyes at all, her body didn't move, just gently stretched out her hand, and held Naruto's fist firmly, and then threw Naruto to the ground with a flick of her hand.
"Zilai, this kid you brought is too self-conscious, it's ridiculous to actually attack me." Tsunade stood up, glanced at Naruto who fell to the ground, and said lightly to Jiraiya.
"Mute, let's go." After saying that, Tsunade turned around and walked out, regardless of how he would react.
