"Jiraiya, you're back." After seeing who came in, the Third Hokage had a happy smile on his face.
That's right, the person who came was none other than Jiraiya, one of the famous Sannin in the future. Of course, now he was just a sunny young man who had just entered the Kage level, probably.
"Old man, smoke less. It's not good for your health."
Jiraiya couldn't get used to the Third Hokage's puffing of smoke.
To be honest, he still likes those young and beautiful girls with bulging fronts and backs, as well as delicious wines. The best thing is the perfect combination of wine + beautiful women.
Jirayu, who suddenly had his mind wandered, couldn't help but salivating from the corner of his mouth.
"Jiraiya, don't always think about bad things."
Originally, the Third Hokage was still happy to see Jiraiya suddenly come back after not seeing him for a while, but he didn't expect that this unscrupulous boy would disappear after just a few minutes. Reminds me of the worry-free Orochimaru.
Although he treats all three disciples equally, compared to Tsunade who likes drinking and gambling and Jiraiya who likes beautiful women and wine, Orochimaru who is devoted to research and never causes trouble to him deserves the most praise. Heart.
"It seems that Orochimaru is more suitable for the position of the next generation of Hokage." This is a true portrayal of the heart of the third generation of Hokage who is still in his prime.
"By the way, old man, I heard what you just said. So, can you show me the information about that child?" Jiraiya, who became serious, showed a rare serious look on his face.
In fact, Jiraiya was the one who walked to the door of the Hokage Building's office before the teacher, but the teacher rushed in with all his might, and as a result, Jiraiya fell behind.
After staring at Jiraiya seriously for a while, the Third Hokage motioned to the teacher to hand him the information on Namikaze Minato.
"Ah, Jiraiya-sama, this is the personal information of Namikaze Minato-san and the results of this training. Please take a look."
The teacher who was trembling nearby and ignored for a while was finally noticed, and then gave Jiraiya everything he needed.
"Teacher Kimura, you have done a good job. Next, continue to pay attention to the outstanding students among ordinary people in the school, and then report to you at any time. This matter will be recorded as an A-level task for you. Okay, then you go down and continue to give Let’s go to class, kids.”
Regarding the teacher who found him such a good prospect, the Third Hokage had long forgotten that he had just thought about letting people retire from school early and build a house.
"Yes! Then, the Third Hokage, the three advisor elders, and Jiraiya, I will take my leave now." After hearing the words of the Third Hokage, Teacher Kimura was overjoyed to finally have a name.
Teacher Kimura knew that he won the bet this time!
This time he risked school time to leave the school to report to the Third Hokage about Namikaze Minato, presumably to the satisfaction of several adults present.
It was not in vain that he risked being punished. Earlier, his colleagues discovered and reported Namikaze Minato's talent!
A resume of one A-level mission!
You must know that the teachers in the school are basically chunin, and the highest missions that chunin can accept are only B-level. If there is no big accident, it is impossible to receive an A-level mission in a lifetime, let alone an A-level mission. Mission accomplished!
For him, a chuunin from an ordinary family, there is no hope of rising to the jounin level in this life. Even a special jounin is not something he has the ability to achieve!
Therefore, this may be his only A-level mission experience in this life!
If a ninja wants to learn ninjutsu, the most important thing is that he must have a corresponding level of mission history.
You can easily switch to an A-level ninjutsu for an A-level mission, but it is definitely no problem to switch to a B-level ninjutsu, or even multiple B-level and C-level ninjutsu.
If you don't exchange for ninjutsu, but exchange for strategic resources such as ninja tools and detonating charms, you can get more.
As for those who exchange it for cash, they are fools. . . . . . It's not that you can't change it, but high-level mission resumes cannot be measured by money at all. With ninjutsu and resources, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make money?
Therefore, this trip was a lot of money for Mr. Kimura, so he left the Hokage Building happily.
Regarding the teacher who contributed such talents to them, several advisory elders looked at the back of Mr. Kimura who left with a gentle expression, which was completely different from the fierce look at the beginning, as if he wanted to eat the other person.
Several advisors and elders are all old men who are ready to dedicate their lives to Konoha, including Danzo at this moment. They also have the same good wish, which is to build Konoha into what it was when the first Hokage was alive. of strength.
The first task before that is to vigorously explore the geniuses among the poor ninjas. Only with more civilian ninjas can Konoha, the big tree in the sky, thrive!
The Hokage's office building fell into silence again. After a few minutes, Jiraiya read all the information on Namikaze Minato since he was born.
"Old man, I think this little guy can perfectly inherit my will of fire. You can't argue with me about this!" When Bo Shui Feng Sect's information was read by Jilai for the second time, he secretly felt something. I have a feeling that this boy will definitely be his disciple, even though I haven’t met him yet!
"Haha, it seems like there won't be any problem with the kid who wants to rob even little Jiraiya. Hiruzen, what do you think?" Mito Kadoyan was the one who spoke.
"Then I'll leave this child to you, Jiraiya, but if you want to accept him as a disciple, you can't be so out of tune anymore."
The Third Hokage thought about it, and still felt that what Jiraiya said made sense. Of course he knew about his disciples. Very few people could catch his eye, and those who could catch his eye must generally have good character and behavior. Guaranteed.
The only thing the Third Hokage is afraid of now is that the apprentices taught by Jiraiya will be as inconsistent as him in the future, which will give him a big headache.
Shaking his head and throwing away the unresolved matter, the Third Hokage began to look serious, but there was still business to talk about next.
"Jiraiya, this time you went to investigate near Yunyin Village. Did you find anything?"
As the Third Hokage spoke these words, the atmosphere that had been a little lively due to the matter of robbing talents became serious again.
"Well, old man, just as we expected last year, the Third Raikage's old guy is also starting to make a move. I found a large number of Kumogakure's elite ninjas gathering in the Kingdom of Yu. They seem to be ready to attack us from the Kingdom of Fire at any time. Take action."
Putting down the information at hand, Jiraiya resisted the urge to rush over to find his future disciple, and began to seriously report the information about Kumogakure to the Third Hokage.
"Sure enough, these ambitious people have been eyeing our territory of the Land of Fire. Tsunade and Orochimaru also sent intelligence respectively. Sunagakure Village of the Wind Country and Kirigakure Village of the Rain Country also began to recruit large numbers of ninjas. Transferred to the border."
There was a look of solemnity on the face of the Third Hokage. Although Konoha is indeed not afraid of the siege of the four major powers, tigers cannot hold back a pack of wolves.
In a 1 vs. 4 situation, even if Konoha repelled the siege of the other four great ninja villages, it would end up being more painful than the gain.
And this is not what the Third Hokage wants to see. What he wants to win is to win beautifully!
"Hiruzhan, there is something strange happening in the four great ninja villages. What are you going to do?" After sleeping, the worry in Koharu's heart was almost written directly on his face.
The office fell into an eerie silence again. Even Danzo didn't know what to do this time. He was not afraid of the siege by the four major powers. He was also afraid that Konoha's losses would be so heavy that no one could accept it.
Knocking on the office in front of him with his pipe, the Third Hokage instantly attracted the attention of everyone.
He picked up the pipe and took two strong puffs. Just when everyone else at the scene couldn't help but urge the Third Hokage to have something to say, he finally spoke.
"Since the four major ninja villages want to join forces, let's defeat them one by one!" the third Hokage said with a glint in his eyes.
"Hiruzen, how are you going to defeat them all?" Mito Katoyan still didn't know what the Third Hokage's words meant.
Similarly, Xiaochun, who was sleeping next to him, also looked confused.
Jiraiya seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked like the Third Hokage with a look of disbelief on his face. He was about to ask if it was the method he thought of, but then he shut his mouth again.
Indeed, if it is the method I think of, it is indeed the most effective method to deal with the encirclement of the four major ninja villages, but it seems a bit inconsistent with the will of fire.
"Hiruzen, are you saying that we take the initiative to provoke the second ninja war first? And then focus our forces to defeat 1 or 2 ninja villages first?" Apart from Jiraiya, Danzo is the only one who has been hiding all year round. Only those in the darkness can think of it and follow the thinking of the Third Hokage.
Hearing Danzo state his intention, the Third Hokage also nodded slowly.
"Hiruzhan, if you do this, will you..." Xiaochun didn't say the rest of his words when he went to bed, but everyone understood what he meant.
"We can't control that much now. If we don't do this, we in Konoha will sacrifice more of our vitality." Mito Kadoyan is more open-minded about this than Koharu, who has moved to bed.
"Hiruzen, let's do this! If there are any negative consequences afterwards, I am willing to bear it!" Danzo, a war madman who is not afraid of taking the blame, fully agrees with the Third Hokage's proposal.
At this time, Danzo really wanted to say, Hiruzen is indeed my best friend. This method really suits my heart!
"I came up with this method. How can I let you, Danzo, take the blame? After the war is won, I will take full responsibility for it." Now, as the Third Hokage of Ninja, he is not so cowardly that he needs his friends to take the blame.
"Hiruzen, it goes without saying! There can be no stain on the Hokage! I will arrange everything properly, you don't have to worry." At this time, Danzo was still very reassuring as a teammate.
For this reason, Danzo didn't feel any discomfort at taking the blame. Instead, he had a look of joy and enjoyment on his face, which made the three people next to him, Jiraiya, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kadobu, unable to stop their brows from jumping wildly.
Good guy, Danzo was eager to carry this blame that everyone was trying to avoid on his shoulders. It was really because he was so ticklish because of the lice.
"Danzo...Thank you, I'll leave everything to you." From this moment on, the Third Hokage felt deep guilt for Danzo in his heart, which also led to his hatred of Danzo in the future. Second indulgence.
The team battle was even more exciting because of the third Hokage's thank you. He only felt that he had performed a feat like Hokage at this moment, because he was recognized by everyone present.
Yes, for Danzo's spirit of sacrifice, even Jiraiya, who had always been disgusted by his always hiding in the dark and doing shameful things, now admired him.
Jiraiya asked himself that he didn't mind carrying the reputation of being drunk and lustful, but he really didn't have the guts to carry the reputation of provoking a ninja war that could be recorded in history.
At this moment, only Jiraiya still had complicated emotions on his face, and all of this was seen by the Third Hokage.
"Jiraiya, I know you feel uncomfortable doing this, but compared to the sacrifices of other countries, we should protect our country better, right?" At this time, the Third Hokage also got up from his desk and walked to his own country. Laiya said in a serious tone.
He didn't want Jiraiya to treat him in his heart and leave a grudge against the village.
"Huh, old man, I understand. I can still distinguish between right and wrong. Although I hope everyone can understand each other, if there are destined to be sacrifices, I will choose to protect the people I care about first!" Jiraiya His expression was very serious, and then he looked at the Third Hokage who was looking at him with a worried look and said seriously.
He also knew in his heart that the Third Hokage's proposal was undoubtedly the best option at the moment, but he just couldn't get over it for the moment.
If the other ninjas in the Ninja Village really threaten the village and the people he loves, he can only choose to "physically" convince them!
