Time passed quietly.
Unknowingly, half a year has passed.
News came back that the war was over.
The legendary ninja demigod Sanshou Hanzo overestimated his own strength and attempted to fight two against two, and after failing to deal with Konoha and Iwa ninja at the same time, he admitted Konoha's victory and gave Konoha three "pornographic gambling and drug abuse" titles. The title of the ninja "Sannin of Konoha".
This war that lasted for three or four years ended with Konoha's victory and Amegakure's defeat.
Strictly speaking, the title "Sannin" is a shame for Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, because the three of them still lost to Hanzo.
If Sanshouyu Hanzo hadn't put the overall situation first, he might have really killed him.
But no matter what, the final result was that Konoha won, and all three of them were disciples of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and they were also one of the best, most famous, most legendary, and most complex ninja groups in the history of Konoha. one.
They are the most powerful group of Hokage candidates after the Third Hokage. Everyone is qualified to take over any generation of Kage, and they all have the temperament, mind, ability and qualifications of a leader.
After returning from this war with great victory, it can be said that everyone is honored.
So, when the Konoha Sannin returned to the village with a large number of Konoha ninjas, countless people waited eagerly at the entrance of the village, eager to see the Konoha Sannin.
Unlike the dull atmosphere last time when the wounded returned to the village, most people in the village were immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
No one likes war.
Xuanye Sheng was also among them. He was full of interest in the Konoha Sannin, no, strictly speaking, Orochimaru, and wanted to find a chance to get acquainted.
He felt that with the genetic knowledge he currently had, he and Orochimaru should have many common topics.
Of course, given his current inconspicuous status, people probably don't even know his last name.
After a while, Xuanye Sheng saw the so-called Sannin of Konoha.
With blond hair and a majestic chest, Tsunade is a female ninja who is worthy of being called the number one nanny in Konoha.
A handsome and feminine man with straight black hair, who kept away from strangers and exuded a faint murderous aura - Orochimaru.
A wretched one...
Huh?
Where are the Jiraiya people?
Why are there only two Sannin left?
Did you go to the bathhouse?
Kurono Katsu recalled something in his mind, and then remembered that Kuraiya was probably cultivating enemies for the Leaf Village at this time, that is, he was with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Although he stayed for a long time, Xuanye Sheng never had a chance to talk to Orochimaru. This one of the three shinobi in the limelight was always surrounded by a group of people wherever he went.
"Forget it...let's wait until we have the opportunity to communicate again in the future."
…
…
Hokage Building.
Konoha F4 gathered together.
What, you ask who are F4?
That was naturally the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the advisor Koharu Mito, and the root leader Shimura Danzo.
Compared with the gloomy expressions on their faces during the war, the four people's expressions were slightly calmer now, especially when Xiaochun went to bed and was still in the mood to take a look at the beautiful scenery under the sunset outside the window.
"The war is over."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, he sighed slowly, as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart.
The other three were noncommittal.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
After a while, Mito Kadoyan was the first to break the calm and said: "Although the war is over, many messes left for us have not yet been resolved. Some problems can be postponed, but some problems must be solved immediately!"
After a pause, the consultant elder continued with some dissatisfaction: "In addition, Jiraiya, as the jounin of the village, disappeared during this critical period after the war, when everything was in vain, and he has not returned to the village yet. It’s so ignorant!”
After the War in the Land of Rain ended, only two of the Sannin of the honorary ninja world came back, which sent a lot of signals to those who cared.
Jiraiya actually stayed in the Land of Rain because he took in three orphans from the Land of Rain.
Sarutobi Hiruzen actually knew this matter well, and he was also very complicated about his disciple's decision.
Because strictly speaking, this behavior of ignoring the village's orders, staying in other countries to adopt orphans, and delaying returning to the village has seriously violated the village's rules.
If it weren't for Jiraiya's status as a disciple of the Hokage and the reputation he had just accumulated from the battlefield, other ninjas would have been defined as traitorous ninjas and arrested or killed on the spot.
Rules are rules. If everyone behaves like this, the rules will lose credibility.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook the ashes and smoothed things over: "Don't worry, my disciple, I understand that Jiraiya is an outstanding talent who has inherited the will of fire. He knows it well."
Mito Katoyan frowned, not very convinced by Sarutobi Hiruzen's vague statement.
And Shimura Danzo said directly and rudely: "Hiruzhan, you are too indulgent of your disciples! Sometimes I can't tell whether Jiraiya is a Konoha ninja or a ninja from Amegakure Village! Moreover, What if that Hanzo guy turns his back on me and refuses to recognize me?"
Danzo's words were heartbreaking, but they were not unreasonable.
Regardless of the Rain Country War, Konoha was the final winner, but the process was full of twists and turns.
The most important thing is that Konoha defeated the Hidden Rain Village, but failed to defeat the "Ninja World Demigod" Sansho Hanzo.
In that final battle, only the Konoha Sannin survived, and the other hundreds of Konoha ninjas were poisoned to death.
Sanshouyu Hanzo couldn't bear the further damage to the Amegakure Village, so he let the Konoha Sannin go.
If he was more careful, he could kill Jiraiya for any reason while he was staying in the Rain Country.
This kind of thing must be something that other ninja villages would like to see, and Konoha probably has nothing to say. After all, it was Jiraiya who decided to stay in the Land of Rain on his own initiative.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Jiraiya has already informed me in a letter in advance. His move is also to ease the relationship between Konoha and Amegakure Village. It is all for the sake of peace... If something unexpected happens, I will This Hokage will take full responsibility!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said this because he wanted to completely characterize this matter, prevent others from holding on to Jiraiya's problems, and prevent subsequent punishment.
Naturally, Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu did not believe Hiruzen Sarutobi's statement that he would take all the responsibilities. They felt that Hiruzen was simply favoring his disciples.
When Shimura Danzo heard Hiruzen's emphasis on the word "Hokage", his sensitive nerves seemed to be stimulated, and he even said bluntly: "Hiruzen, even if you are Hokage, you can't act like this!"
As if his passive was triggered, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said solemnly: "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"
After that, Danzo slammed the door and left.
