43: The dark side of Konoha higher-ups

Watanabe's craftsmanship really didn't disappoint Jiraiya and the others, and the three of them really had a full meal at Watanabe's house.

"It's a pity that we are not yet adults, otherwise it would have been more enjoyable to drink some wine." Zilai also smacked his lips and sighed.

Watanabe was surprised when he heard this, and felt that he was unexpectedly following the rules.

"You can drink if you want, no one cares about us anyway." He and Jiraiya are orphans and uninhibited.

Jilai also shook his head vigorously and said seriously: "No, underage drinking will affect the development below...... Uh, Watanabe, you're an exception, you're fully developed. ”

Watanabe was speechless: "......"

"As soon as I graduate today, I will no longer be able to attend classes in one classroom every day as before, and I will see each other less often in the future." Jiraiya confided in his heart and began to say some emotional words.

"Don't look at me every day, in fact, the only people who can really be considered friends are Orochimaru, Kiryuhu, Watanabe, and the three of you, if Tsunade doesn't beat me, he can barely be counted as one."

Beryuhu and Orochimaru were quite touched, and Jirai also regarded them as friends, so why shouldn't they?

After all, there is a gap in identity between them and the children of the ninja family in the class, and they can't really make friends, they can feel it themselves.

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can say it, and I will do my best to help." He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

Orochimaru nodded.

Jilai also laughed and slapped Beiliu on the shoulder: "Aren't you taking advantage of what you said?" Watanabe and Orochimaru have a first place in graduation and a second place, and their future will definitely be better than the two of us in the future. ”

was poked out of his thoughts, and his face suddenly turned red, and he quibbled: "I, I don't mean that!" ”

Orochimaru's expression gradually became strange.

Watanabe smiled dumbly, feeling that the three people at the same table had their own cuteness.

The graduation examination of the ninja school is like the imperial examination in ancient China, after graduation, he first went to the grassroots level to do tasks for a few years, and then steadily and gradually promoted to the top of the ranks, and the ultimate goal was to become the core management of Konoha, which was also the only opportunity for the children of civilians to jump into the dragon gate.

And the better the graduation grades, the better the resource treatment and promotion speed allocated after graduation, as Jiraiya said, with the results of Watanabe and Orochimaru, the future prospects are indeed very good.

……

The four of them chatted until late at night before leaving, and made an appointment to come to Watanabe's house for dinner next time.

Before falling asleep, Watanabe felt quite amazing, he didn't expect to be friends with Jiraiya, Hiroku, and Orochimaru in the last few days of graduation, and he was not unrelated except Tsunade in Konoha for no reason.

Early the next morning, Watanabe was woken up by an alarm clock.

The graduation exam has ended, and the ninja school is reported at noon, and when there is nothing to do, Watanabe is lying in bed to study ninjutsu.

At about eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door outside, and Watanabe Ma slipped out of bed.

"Mito-senpai, why are you here?"

Looking at the familiar white-robed girl outside the door, Watanabe was surprised.

"Is it convenient for me to go in and sit down?" Mito asked politely.

"Of course it's convenient, please come in."

Watanabe was like facing his mother-in-law, and for fear that the hospitality would not be good, he went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea.

Mito looked around quietly, and saw that the house was tidy and tidy, and there was no sloppy mess, and his good impression of Watanabe increased a few points.

He's an attentive boy.

"Mito-senpai, have a cup of tea."

Soon, Watanabe brought the brewed tea to Mito.

Mito smiled lightly: "Don't be so restrained, just treat me as your ordinary elder." ”

Watanabe should have been: "Mito seniors are elders in my eyes. ”

Mito was slightly stunned, feeling that Watanabe's words were strange and indescribable, had he already decided that he would be with Tsunade?

Taking two sips of tea, Mito directly expressed his intention: "I am looking for you this time to tell you one thing, the day has already decided to accept the apprentice." ”

"Among those candidates, there is no you."

Watanabe raised his eyebrows, a look of loss flashing in his eyes.

"May I ask who he has received?" Watanabe's smile was bitter.

Mito didn't hide it: "Orochimaru, Jiraiya." ”

"It's the two of them......"

Watanabe is not surprised at this time, he was able to lose even the first place in the score, and it is not surprising that he won a single result in the middle and upper reaches of the day.

"Do you know why Hizai doesn't think about you?" Mito asked him.

Watanabe nodded: "I guessed a little." ”

Mito was a little surprised, she thought Watanabe would ask three questions, but she didn't expect him to answer.

"Tell me about it."

"The third generation should want to check and balance Tsunade, try not to make her too top-notch, and support a few candidates who can compete with Tsunade for the fourth generation Hokage."

Mito was silent, and the air around her became solemn as she was silent.

Watanabe didn't care anymore, anyway, Mito asked him to give his opinion, so he was frank and bold to say it.

"Why do you think Hizai has such thoughts?" Mito asked.

Watanabe: "Because other than that, I really can't think of a reason why the three generations don't accept me, in terms of strength and qualifications, I am stronger than Orochimaru and Jiraiya." ”

Mito retorted: "But have you ever thought that Orochimaru and Jiraiya are both civilians, and if Hinata wants to support competitors for Tsunade, he should accept Hinata Zero or other ninja children." ”

Watanabe shook his head: "The ninja clan will have the thoughts of the top of their family, and they will not completely follow the will of the three generations, of course the three generations want to listen to his disciples." ”

Mito was silent again, and after a long time, he let out a sigh and sighed, "I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to think of this step." ”

After these few words, Mito refreshed his understanding of Watanabe, this child is not only outstanding, but also extremely intelligent and precocious, and looks at problems from a perspective that is even more thorough than most adults.

"Mito-senpai thinks the same way?" Watanabe said tentatively.

"Hmm."

Mito did not shy away from it and admitted it.

"I grew up watching him, and when I first took him as an apprentice, he was about the same age as you are now."

"Hizaki's contribution to Konoha is not even comparable to me, I must admit that he is a very competent Hokage, even more competent than Pillar and Kazuma, but no one is perfect, and he also has shortcomings."

"His shortcoming is that he is greedy for power, he has been in the position of the Hokage for more than ten years, longer than the pillars and the door combined, and there have been many heroes and talents in Konoha over the years, but he has been suppressed by the sun, and he has not intended to abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

Mito didn't treat Watanabe as an outsider and told him about the dark side of Konoha higher-ups, which was also the main purpose of her coming to Watanabe today.

Watanabe listened very carefully, knowing that Mito could say these words to himself, and he already recognized himself as his grandson-in-law.
