The three generations looked at the bottle of clear sake in front of them, and the elegant and sweet aroma of the sake rushed to the nostrils, seducing the worms in their throats.

"How long has it been since the old man had a drink?"

"Every day I am busy with the big and small things in the village, and the spinning top keeps spinning around, but the situation is slowly slipping..."

"I can't deal with the Uchiha, and the ninja clan is starting to be dissatisfied with me, and Danzo has disappeared and disappeared, and even Mito-sama's time is running out..."

The three generations sighed, and the huge pressure on life and work almost crushed this former "ninja". Even if the ape Fei Ri slash withstood it with superhuman endurance, it was also on the verge of collapse.

Konoha's stall is too big, capable ninjas, one after another, and everyone's demands are strange, if you can't satisfy them, just wait for these capable people to do something.

While the Hokage enjoyed supreme power, he was also under the most pressure.

"That's it, let's all step down!!" The three generations shouted, and there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps on the roof, which was the dark part that protected him in a secret place.

The bottom drawer was opened, but instead of a confidential document printed with "top secret", there were several cans of pickles inherited from the Warring States period, as well as several bottles of expensive liquor.

Jiraiya looked at the "private collection" of the three generations of Hokage with amusement, "Pickled radish, salted cucumber, natto, sure enough, the old man of the Warring States period loved to eat these heavy salt things..."

"You're the Hokage, why can't you make yourself eat better?"

The three generations quickly took off the robe of the gods, revealing a breathable and light undershirt, slowly grabbed a chopstick natto, and violently dried the sake placed in front of him.

"Huh... It's fun, it's fun! ”

Smacking his lips, the three generations experienced the stimulation of the alcohol in their mouths, and then turned their heads to look, looked at Jiraiya, and said with some disdain:

"Boy, what do you know? These flavorful side dishes are what men should eat when they drink! ”

"You juniors, when it's time to drink, you put big fish and big meat on the table, so what is drinking? That's eating, sheer waste of these good things..."

Jilai also snorted, stretched out his hand and grabbed a pickled cucumber, "Don't say it, it's really delicious..."

A pair of masters and apprentices, three generations of Hokage and the immortals of Miaomu Mountain, just like this, drank a few catties of wine silently with a few side dishes of Warring States flavor.

The two didn't speak, just raised and clinked glasses frequently, and the sound of crisp collisions sounded in the Hokage's office from time to time.

After a few rounds, the three generations of Hokage relaxed and collapsed on the stool, and his previously straight waist softened, and he let out a long and comfortable breath.

"I didn't expect that when I grew up, the closest student to me was Jiraiya? In the past, I was the most optimistic about Orochimaru, but there is no news, and I have not been in contact for two years..."

"Not to mention Tsunade, after she fell in love with Fan Ma, she hasn't seen me as a teacher since the Second Ninja World War..."

The three generations were reminded of the memories, recalling the interesting stories of the ape flying class when he was a child, but he was surprised to find that it was the mischievous and mischievous Jilai who also occupied the majority of his memory.

Orochimaru has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, whether it is ninjutsu or illusion, it is a teach, and the quality of a ninja is also like innate, born with good material, and is the favorite "genius" type of all teachers.

But for this kind of student, the teacher will not put too much energy into it while worrying about it, so that the feelings will not be so deep.

And Jiraiya is different, his personality is reckless and straightforward, and the three generations are hand-in-hand to take him from an unqualified ninja school student to a shinobi who can take charge on his own, and even a battlefield commander.

The sense of accomplishment in this is not comparable to cultivating the Great Snake Pill...

This is a piece of jade, although it has infinite potential in its own right, but it needs to be carefully carved and polished by three generations of Hokage.

And the same is true of Jirai, looking at the three generations of Hokage who have been unloaded with exhaustion in front of him, he can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

"The old man is really old, but I've grown into a powerful ninja. It's time to stand up and shelter him and the whole Konoha from the wind and rain..."

As an orphan of a civilian ninja, there are two main turning points in his life, one is that he was accepted as an apprentice by three generations of Hokage, and the other is that he accidentally entered Mount Myoki.

And if you don't take it as an apprentice by the three generations of Hokage, as a civilian orphan with no family inheritance, you may not have the opportunity to come into contact with the high-end spatial ninjutsu of "Psychic Technique" in middle age.

After a few rounds of drinking, the faces of the two gradually became rosy.

The third generation put down the wine glass in his hand, took a puff of pipe with enjoyment, and lowered his eyebrows again, looking at Jiraiya with some heaviness.

"Now, I'm going to tell you about the Uchiha clan..."

Jiraiya's face was grim, he left Konoha earlier than Tsunade.

Since the end of the Second Ninja World War, he hurriedly returned to Myoki Mountain and conducted a closed training for nearly two years, knowing almost nothing about Konoha's situation.

The three generations knocked on the table rhythmically, and seemed to be sorting out their thoughts.

"The change of the Uchiha clan starts with Uchiha Fanma taking over as the head of the Uchiha clan..."

"You also know the "boosting incident" in the last war, right? Uchiha Fan Ma used the large amount of money collected for the construction of the clan land, and set up many pension policies, firmly grasping the hearts of the Uchiha clan, and now the Uchiha is in step with a terrible unity. ”

"After that, he invested the money he collected in the commercial street, and concentrated the forces of the Konoha Security Department around the Uchiha commercial street he established to ensure its law and order, attracting a large number of vendors."

"The current Uchiha clan has become the economic center of Konoha... Uchiha Van Ma used this as an excuse to set up a high-level barrier in the residential area of the clan land, completely cutting off the village's source of information about the Uchiha..."

Jiraiya frowned, this situation was a little different from what he imagined.

In his cognition, the Uchiha clan should have been ready to fight with the Konoha high-level, and they were about to fight at the end.

And now, apparently, the top level of Konoha has been completely suppressed, and even the economy has made people suck blood to the point of shriveling...

It seemed that he saw Jiraiya's questioning gaze, and the three generations smiled bitterly.

"I don't know where he got so much money from, and he doesn't follow the rules at all, and he beats us up very badly."

"With the temptation of ninjutsu teaching and settling-in fees, I exchanged land with the residents around the Uchiha clan, and then built a commercial street for the sake of not charging booth fees or even gifts in the early days, and wantonly tempted those ordinary traders."

"And after those vendors left, Uchiha Fan Ma bought their original store at a low price, completely encroaching on the market, and now it is in a monopoly position in Konoha, and there is no way to counteract..."

Jiraiya listened to the narration of the three generations of Hokage in a daze, and after a while, he asked rhetorically:

"In other words, except for those clans, the current Konoha Market is all under the hands of Fan Ma?"

"Why did you let him buy the land in the first place? Even if we give those vendors corresponding benefits..."

The three generations shook their heads sadly, "Did you take the money because the wind blew?" I'm not a daimyo of the Fire Nation, so how can I have so much funding! ”

"Those white flowers, and those precious ninjutsu scrolls, how many ninja clans will promise to fund them to make and then distribute them to civilians?"

"You haven't sat in this position, I don't know how many departments you have to wait for money to eat as soon as you open your eyes, where do you have the spare money to fight with Uchiha Fan Ma in the ring!"

"I thought he was just doing useless work, but I didn't expect his mind to be so heavy, this round, I really lost..."

Jiraiya scratched his head a little irritably, he felt that there was something strange in the words of the three generations, but he couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

"Then he mobilized the security department to make profits, is that all there is? Using the public resources of the village to make a profit, this should always have some explanation..."

After thinking about it for a while, he finally came up with a question that didn't seem so stupid.

"The current security department has deviated from the original intention of the second Hokage-sama, so why don't you choose to disband, this will only allow the Uchiha's power to continue to expand in a disorderly manner, causing more serious consequences..."

The third Hokage sighed and raised his glass again, "The idea is good, but there are many problems in operation, let me ask you a question, you can see how to solve it." ”

"The Uchiha clan now has thousands of clansmen who have opened the Sharingan, and among them, there are more than 100 people with three hooks."

"These guys are now in the security department, entertaining themselves in the Uchiha shopping street, how are you going to face their anger if their strength is cut?"

"Hundreds of Sangotama Uchiha are wandering around the village with nothing to do, is this kind of scene what you want to see?"

The three Hokages stared at Jiraiya in a daze, waiting for his answer.

And Jiraiya also looked embarrassed, if he pushed open the door of his house, and there were a hundred Sangoyu Uchiha standing outside the door, it would really be a hell scene than hell...

The three Hokage pushed open the window, letting the cool air blow in, dissipating most of the alcohol in the house.

Looking at the shadow of the second-generation Hokage outside the window, he said with some emotion:

"The Konoha Guard Department was originally a piece of chicken ribs. Neither does it have the function of dealing with emergencies in the dark, nor can it go out of the village to do tasks, so it is a guard dog raised at home in captivity. ”

"But in the hands of Uchiha Fanma, now it is more majestic than the dark department, not only can it meddle in the affairs of the village justifiably, but it can also enter and leave the village at will, and the security department has become the second center of the village in addition to the Hokage Building."

Jiraiya's face became silent, he understood this truth.

Originally, the security department was very weak, and most of its functions overlapped with the dark department, while the rest of the villages did not have this department.

But looking at it now, the so-called power, everything must be based on effective constraints, otherwise even the Konoha Guard Department can be several times stronger than the Hokage's dark department...

The three generations looked at the somewhat autistic Jiraiya, and pointed out the window playfully, "Can't you stand this... You came back late two days ago, and you haven't seen the main event yet! ”

"Buzz Woo Woo Buzz!"

And as soon as the three generations of voices fell, the Uchiha Fortress seemed to be remotely controlled, falling from a high altitude and staying hundreds of meters above the security department.

Jiraiya looked at the strangely shaped fortress and stood up suddenly.

"What is this... Where did he get all these resources! ”

"You ask me, how do I know? I'm just an ordinary Hokage of Konoha and not the ruler of the ninja world..."

The third generation saw that Zilai also had a somewhat defense-breaking reaction, but he laughed, and this smile was very sincere, which made his whole person's aura a little lighter.

"The Oil Girl clan also took refuge in the Uchiha before, and there must be some deal in it, but I don't want to know anymore..."

"It's enough to keep the basic plate on our side now. The Uchiha clan has no intention of breaking out into conflict, which is already good. ”

Jiraiya covered his forehead, and quickly sorted out the ins and outs of these events in his mind, only to find that it was always a mess, which was a bit beyond the scope of his brain.

"I... I still don't get it. ”

The three generations shook their heads, motioned for Jiraiya to sit down, and slowly explained:

"Nothing I don't understand. We are not wrong, and neither is Uchiha Vanma, and both sides are doing their best to fight for their own interests as much as possible. ”

"Behind me, there are policies and guidelines handed over to me by the second Hokage, as well as the ninja clan who support me, and this is the person I need to be responsible for."

"On the Uchiha Fanma side, he is in charge of the Uchiha clan and the ninja clan he fancies. However, the current battle is still in the ring in the rules of the game, which is different from the previous Uchiha. ”

Miyo didn't say "everything is for Konoha" like Jiraiya, and as a politician, his understanding of the "Will of Fire" is above everyone.

Konoha is a military collective dominated by the ninja clan, and it has only been established for more than 30 years, so it is impossible to make the ninja clan of hundreds of years willing to sacrifice everything in this short time.

Although the departure of the oil girl clan shocked the three generations, it was still within his expectations, and it was nothing more than being lured away by the greater good.

Miyo took a deep puff of his pipe and flicked the ash to the ground.

"Why are we targeting the Uchiha? Ha... That's right, that's right. ”

Seeing Jiraiya's eyes widened, the three generations waved their hands in amusement.

"The Uchiha clan has rebelled twice since the establishment of the village, and it is not trustworthy in the first place, which is based on history."

"Their personalities are extremely emotional, and they are definitely not suitable for the top management of Konoha. If the Uchiha's people are put on the throne, it is very likely that they will start a war without saying a word, and then peace will stay away from Konoha. ”

"And now the Uchiha is obviously much more emotional, although I can't give them the position of Hokage, I don't have to worry that they will rush into the Hokage building and hack me to death with a knife."

"If it's fair to say, the current Uchiha and Konoha get along quite well, and it can even be said that it's very good..."

Jiraiya looked at the Uchiha fortress above the sky with a distraction, "That is to say, the Uchiha clan is not strong, and it is not strong either..."

"Then why don't you just wait?" Will of Fire", will Konoha ever fulfill his dream? ”

"Cut the ninja clan and open up educational resources, so that the children of Konoha can spend a full childhood in the ninja school and no longer suffer from war..."

The third generation shook his head, "The current situation is not something I can say, but the ninja world is full of variables, as long as you stabilize your position, then there is always the possibility of turning over..."

The faces of the three generations looked a little vicissitudes at this moment, and his words were not unreasonable.

In the ninja world, how many heroes who once dominated one side have unexpectedly fallen in some events.

The second generation of Mizukage of Kirigakure, the second generation of Earth Shadow of Iwakure, the second generation of Thunder Shadow of Cloud Hide, the "Golden Horn and Silver Horn", and the second generation Hokage of Konoha, the first Hokage, and Madara Uchiha...

Who would have thought that the former two gods of the ninja world would almost die together in the infighting?

The first god speed in the ninja world who has mastered the art of flying thunder will also die in the siege?

The "shadow" who commands a village will also lose his life on the battlefield at any time...

The three generations deeply understand that as long as they live long enough, then everything can be seen, and Konoha is far from the moment when there is no turnaround.

And Jiraiya, who was opposite him, didn't think so.

As a person who can listen to the toad's prophecy and work hard for it all his life, it is very easy to get into the horns of thinking.

"It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this... The good is good, the bad is bad, and you can't be deceived by the superficial momentariness. If the essence of the Uchiha clan does not change and there is no idea of peace, then all this will only bury an even bigger minefield! ”

"I'm going to talk to Fan Ma, and if necessary, I'll do it with him!"

Jiraiya's face was solemn, and he said seriously to the three generations.

"You don't know how strong I am when I enter the immortal mode, do you? With the two immortals of Miaomu Mountain, even if it is the Nine-Tails, I am confident to fight with them! ”

"The power of the Immortal Chakra is far above the weak single Chakra!"

And the three generations of Hokage didn't say much, just silently cleaned up the table.

"If you're willing to go, go for it."

"But pay attention to the scale, Mito-sama may be at the end of his life, and he will need your help to hand over the Nine-Tails."

Jiraiya frowned, "If Mito-sama has such a situation, then I'll go find him in a few days." If a conflict does break out, I can't keep my hand, Van Ma is really strong. ”

"You may not know it, but he can carry the Tailed Beast Jade with his body... If I want to defeat him, then I can't be stingy with the Immortal Chakra, and it's hard for me to grasp the degree in between..."

And the third generation just sighed deeply and patted Jiraiya's shoulder.

"You probably don't understand what I mean."

"I mean, don't that guy off, be careful not to die yourself..."
