Chapter 92: Faith for the New Era (3rd Update)
"Hokage? That's really a problem," Jiraiya said, suggesting, "I've got a goal in mind for who to be in this position, and I'm going to go out and find Tsunade back this time." β
"Whether it's identity or strength, she can afford the position of Hokage."
Regarding Jiraiya's proposal, Sakura just smiled kindly before continuing to speak: "Jiraiya-senpai, why do you think Sasuke and Naruto are here today?" β
"Do it, please take up the post of senior Jiraiya."
The ethereal voice was still gentle, but his expression changed, and before he could react, the blonde boy and the black-haired boy had already appeared beside him in an instant.
Sasuke grabbed Jiraiya's hands directly, and then only clamped him, and the power that was even more terrifying than the strange power of Tsunade acted down, making Jiraiya unable to move.
And Naruto directly struck down a set of seals, adding three or five layers of seals to Jiraiya's body in one go, and then he said leisurely: "Jiraiya-sensei, you don't have to struggle." If you're unguarded, I'll join forces with Sasuke, and you won't be able to hide. β
"What are you doing here?" Jiraiya roared angrily, struggled for a while, and then his mouth was gagged.
At this time, it was difficult for him to move even a little, and in front of Sasuke's powerful physique, after he was also tightly restrained, there was basically no possibility of breaking free with pure strength.
"Na, Zilai senior, you also know that far water can't quench your thirst." Sakura looked at Jiraiya with a smile, looking gentle.
After all, it was Sasuke and Naruto who did it, she was a peace-loving literary girl who didn't like to fight with people, "And now Konoha is in a period of unprecedented change, not to mention Naruto's development plan for Konoha's future." Even the peace talks with the Sand Ninja Village are still underway, and it takes a person to make decisions. β
"With so many burdens, Jiraiya-senpai is going to push it to Tsunade-senpai who doesn't know where it is?"
Jiraiya's mouth was covered by Sasuke, and he couldn't open his mouth for the time being, so he could only continue to listen to Sakura.
Didn't hear any objections from Jiraiya, Sakura nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Jiraiya still had some responsibility.
Of course, whether he disagrees or not, the result has already been decided.
These days, while he was saddened by the death of three generations and recalled the past green years, the seventh class and the other people jointly asked for the approval of the daimyo with the Konoha high-level officials, and selected Jiraiya as the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village, just waiting for him to take office.
Well, at this point, those two advisors were rarely on the same page as Kakashi, believing that Jiraiya was a good fit for the position.
Although under normal circumstances, Koharu and Mito Menyan like to disagree with the Hokage the most, but they actually care a lot about the rise and fall of the village.
At this critical moment, it is natural to push people who are qualified in identity, strength, and status to the position of Hokage to stabilize the situation in Konoha Hidden Village. It just so happens that he also has shadow-level strength, and his identity is very popular, and the reputation of one of the three ninjas is completely sufficient.
Poor Danzo finally won three generations once, but the Konoha higher-ups unanimously ignored him, and no one thought of letting him take up the position of Hokage.
But no matter what Tuan Zang thinks in his heart, as long as there are still people in the village who can take office, it is impossible for him to take his turn.
The hands of the three generations are white enough, but the hands of Tuanzang are no longer clean.
And being in the dark for a long time makes Danzou have no prestige, except for the strength of a god costume, nothing meets the requirements of being the Hokage.
In the original trajectory of fate, everyone also unanimously decided to elect Jilai for the five generations, and the daimyo documents were prepared, but they were resigned by Jilai.
At that time, no one could force Jiraiya, after all, even if he didn't enter the immortal mode, he was still at the shadow level. In addition, he swore that he would definitely be able to get Tsunade back, and the two advisors couldn't force it.
couldn't be forced, and there was a new suitable candidate, so the top management of Konoha had no choice but to agree to Jiraiya's proposal.
Now it's Sakura's turn to persuade, and naturally it's impossible to give Jiraiya a chance to repent.
First physical persuasion, and then mouth rejection.
Naruto and the two teamed up, not even giving him the opportunity to open the immortal mode, and after subduing him, he slowly talked to him about the Hokage.
"In the world of ninjas, there are always a lot of unnecessary deaths." Sakura sighed softly, ready to move with emotion and reason, "What we want to do is hope that one day, we can change the mode of ninja survival." β
"Only by developing the economy of Konoha Hidden Village and changing the ninja mentality of fighting and killing can it be possible to end this endless grudge. You should have read Naruto's notes too, Jiraiya-senpai. β
Already knowing what Jiraiya hates and desires the most, Sakura naturally knows what to talk to him about.
In the end, there will definitely be a war, and you can't say it, otherwise it won't be good to push Jiraiya to the opposite side, anyway, as long as Konoha develops, the daimyo and other ninja villages will definitely be tempted to do it.
When others have already done it, talking about war can break the illusion that Jiraiya can make peace as long as he doesn't do it.
And to attract Jiraiya Ren Hokage, of course, is to talk to him about peace.
If people's hearts are very stable, the development of productive forces in this way will change the survival mode of ninjas. There is no need to perform any high-level tasks, the ninja can have plenty of money, and the ninja village will naturally no longer listen to the daimyo, even if the daimyo declare war between them, the ninja village can not listen.
It's just that the human heart is actually the most difficult thing in the world to grasp.
Whether it's smashing the jobs of daimyo and nobles, or being the boss of each ninja village, it will inspire new contradictions.
However, there is no need to talk about those things for the time being, as long as the benefits of increasing productivity and economic development are real, we will naturally not fail to take the bait.
Recalling the note that made him a little dizzy, Jiraiya temporarily stopped struggling, contemplating Sakura's words.
Ignoring Jiraiya's change in demeanor, Sakura continued to speak slowly, "The Will of Fire has been passed down for many years. It is true that every person who sacrifices has been touched by their relatives and future generations, and I believe that there will still be people who are willing to choose to die in those few minutes of choice when a new danger comes. β
"But people should not always be faced with this choice, and we should not just dwell on the past, and then shout the will of fire when danger comes, so as to calmly die, so as to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors."
"The development of things should always be spiraling. We have the dream and idea to get out of this reincarnation, but now we just lack people to move forward together, so are you willing to support us? β
Before you know it, Jiraiya has completely stopped struggling.
His eyes fell on the people in the seventh class, and what he saw was vigorous vitality and enterprising spirit.
In contrast, his so-called predecessor is a little too shirking.
[It turns out that the so-called savior, is this what it means]
I haven't been to Miaomu Mountain for a while, and I can't communicate with that group of old toads, so I can only speculate in my heart.
Although there are many theories that they can't understand, he knows the basics, that is, to make the ninja world no longer rely on tasks to make money.
In the long run, the ninja village became richer and richer, and naturally it had confidence.
"Let's let go of Jiraiya seniors!" Sakura let Naruto and the others let go at this time, and said in a low voice, "If you choose to escape, you can choose to find Tsunade-senpai now, and then it's okay to miss this development opportunity." After all, evasion, while shameful, works. β
"Little girl, what do you think of my dignified toad immortal?" Jilai also replied in a deep voice, and his enthusiasm had been mobilized, "Needless to say, I took the location of the fifth generation of Konoha Hidden Village." β
"From today onwards, I will support your actions. I also want to see what kind of future you desire. β
"Then let's ask Jiraiya-sensei to take up a job now!" Naruto answered at this moment and sighed lightly, "To be honest, I really want to be a fifth-generation purpose, but it's a pity that I don't have enough qualifications. β
His dreams since childhood have not changed, but after having a clear ideological guidance, he has a more definite direction of action.
Become the Hokage and work for a new era.
Although the former has become a phased goal, after all, he has worked hard for it, and now he wants to watch others take up the post of the fifth generation Hokage, which makes Naruto feel a little pity.
To Naruto's sigh, Sakura only relieved: "Naruto, you accumulate more merits now, start with the middle ninja, and slowly rise up, there will always be a chance to reach the position of the Hokage." β
"Speaking of which, congratulations on becoming a middle ninja, I can only work hard slowly if I have a lower ninja." Naruto replied with some grievances.
Originally, according to his performance, he could become a stable ninja this time. However, due to a riot, the results of the Nabu exam were invalidated, and Naruto returned to the position of Shinobi.
And Sakura was promoted to Nakayanu because of her outstanding achievements and victory in the official competition.
After becoming a middle ninja, Sakura can take on high-level missions alone, while Naruto, as a lower ninja, can only take D-rank missions.
It's just that he has a lot of new things to study every day, and he can't be too busy, so except for some pity, he is not too persistent.
"Take your time, don't rush." Sakura comforted Naruto, and then said to Jiraiya, "By the way, Jiraiya-senpai." Although today I want you to go to the Hokage. But Tsunade's predecessors still have to be found, and Konoha Hidden Village needs some top experts in this area to help with the development of medical treatment. β
In addition to the need for some such talents for the Konoha development plan, there is also the fact that Sakura's medical ninjutsu cannot find a suitable teacher to guide for the time being.
Originally, Kakashi said that he would help ask some powerful medical ninja to guide him, but now that he is busy, he doesn't know if he forgot it, so he hasn't seen it for a long time.
For this reason, Sakura can only ask Jiraiya to help find and bring back the exiled Tsunade.
"Get Tsunade back?" Jiraiya hesitated, "If there is not enough reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince her to come back." Moreover, if I really become the Hokage, it will be inconvenient for me to go out. β
"You have to try." Sakura replied calmly, "And with Naruto's Flying Thunder God, as long as you know the direction, it doesn't take much time to rush." β
Cha Ton La version of Flying Thor, a must-have for people, and the mission must be achieved.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
In short, after Sakura and the others knew their feelings and reason, and persuaded Jiraiya, the position of the Hokage, which had been vacant for two days, finally ushered in the fifth generation of Hokage.
Under the clear and bright sun, in the comprehensive conference room of the Hokage Building in Konoha Hidden Village, most of the high-level people of Konoha gathered.
In addition to the Hokage Advisory Group, there are also a group of Konoha Shinobi, Kakashi Hachiki, Maitkai, Sunset Red, Sarutobi Asma, Yamanaka Kaichi, and Nara ShikahisaΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
In short, Shangnin is here as if he doesn't need money, and those who don't have a position in Shangnin, can't enter here.
At the suggestion of Konoha's two advisors and Kakashi Hachiki, Jiraiya took office here to become the Hokage.
"After everyone's unanimous approval, and the approval of the daimyo, we all agreed that Jiraiya's predecessor can become the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village." In the conference room, Kakashi spoke calmly, not loudly, but few dared to ignore it.
As the leader of the seventh class, he has more and more power to speak.
In the corner of the conference room, Tuan Zang endured and endured, endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back: "I am against this proposal." I've done my best for Konoha, I've given so much, and now that Hinata is dead, it's necessary for me to touch his position. β
The eyes of the crowd fell on Tuan Zang, and then they shifted away, and turned to Koharu to speak: "Jiraiya, since the daimyo has come down, from today onwards, you will be the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village." β
"Ahaha, I didn't expect Uncle Ben to become the Hokage one day." Jiraiya laughed heartily, his expression was not very serious, "I became the Hokage, Uncle Ben has some ideas that I have wanted to do for a long time." Starting tomorrow, Uncle Ben will issue the first order to let all female ninjas over the age of eighteen in the village penetrate the sight costume. β
The more he talked about the back, Jiraiya's expression gradually became a little unserious, and Kakashi's tense expression also tended to be a little broken.
Mito Menyan just said, "After all these years, you're still the same, and you like to fiddle with these boring things. β
"Now that I've become the Hokage, of course I have the right to do this." Jiraiya returned to seriousness and said seriously.
In fact, he was thinking about the safety of those female ninjas, but because of the unserious words in front of him, he seemed a little ill-intentioned.
In the corner, Tuanzang's face became darker and darker.
Such an unscrupulous person has become the Hokage, and as the root of Konoha, he has done his best for Konoha, but he can't even do it once.
[Damn, if I had paid more attention to it at that time, there would not have been so many accidents]
Recalling the information of the seventh class, Tuan Zang regretted it a little in his heart.
Nine years ago, Sakura's hair, the only one without a backstage, turned pure black overnight, and it wasn't taken seriously because she didn't have any special abilities to manifest.
After all, there are too many people with various hair colors in Konoha, unless it is those special red hair, blonde hair, etc., and almost no one pays attention to normal hair color.
By now, by the time Tuan Zang knew, the difference in strength was too big.
Regardless of whether Danzang's face was black or not, in the conference room, the advisory group representing the top level of Konoha and the various powerful shinobi all pushed Jiraiya to the Hokage position with a majority vote. Carefully calculated a wave of group collections, as usual, although it hurts others but not themselves.
"Now that you've become the Hokage, it's time to settle the negotiations with the Sand Ninja Village first." Turning to bed, Koharu talked to Jiraiya, but it made the high-spirited Jiraiya temporarily return to seriousness.
Recalling what Sakura and Naruto had said, Jiraiya said solemnly: "Don't worry, the negotiation with the Sand Ninja Village will soon have a good result." β
