[The son of the Fourth Generation, Uzumaki Naruto. 】The third generation's words directly confirmed Jiraiya's guess.
A sudden surge of memories hit him like a tide. [The protagonist in this book is so handsome who refuses to give up until the end. He is really similar to the teacher’s behavior.
】【So I decided! 】【It would be great if my child who is about to be born can become a ninja like the protagonist in the book when he grows up.
】【So, Mr. Jiraiya, can you lend me the name of the protagonist in this book? 】【.........】【Yes, Mr. Jiraiya.
】【Naruto, that's a great name. ] Jiraiya still remembered that under the warm light, Minato and his wife looked at him expectantly.
[Naruto,] Obviously it was just the protagonist's name that he came up with casually while eating ramen, but it was so cherished by those two people.
As for the second half of the Sandaime's sentence, the boy's life has not been very good recently, but there is no big disturbance in his heart.
After all, how could any ninja who was chosen to be a Jinchuriki live a good life? In addition, the child has lost his parents since he was a child, so his life must have been very difficult since he was born.
During this time, a sense of self-blame spread in my heart.
"I know, I will give Uzumaki Naruto a chance." After a brief recollection, Jiraiya pulled away from the memories and looked at the white-haired old man in his field of vision and responded seriously.
No matter what, Minato's kid always calls himself sensei, and he also hopes that his son can become a qualified and outstanding ninja.
Therefore, he has no reason to completely ignore it, not to mention that the key that can weaken the Bagua seal is also in his hand.
"But if that kid can't pass my test, then let him live as an ordinary person."
"Can you promise me about this?"
"Sandaime." After saying this, Jiraiya's voice suddenly became dignified and serious. This is his bottom line and requirement.
Because the Jinchuuriki that carries the tailed beasts are, in a sense, cultivated by each village as a war weapon to deter other forces.
This requires the host itself to have strong resilience and awareness, otherwise, it will easily be swallowed up by the negative energy of the tailed beast, and then become a dangerous source of losing self-awareness.
In history, every force that owns tailed beasts has more or less experienced tailed beast riots. Once the jinchūriki riot uncontrollably, they will become their own village's biggest enemy!
He didn't want Uzumaki Naruto to end up like this. That was the last concern of the Yondaime couple who had already sacrificed their lives for Konoha.
The two powerful sealing techniques of [Bagua Seal] and [Ghoul Seal] can also ensure that Naruto has a worry-free life and will not suffer from the erosion of the tailed beast's will.
"Yes, I promise you." Sarutobi Hiruzen had no reason to refuse, and this was also the best outcome he expected.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will take him out of the village to practice." After receiving a positive response, Jiraiya stopped being procrastinating, became extremely decisive, and started to arrange the itinerary directly.
"Don't worry, although I don't know what other plans you have."
"However, I will bring it back before the last trial of the Chuunin Joint Assessment begins." Looking at the Sandaime who hesitated to speak, the visitor said directly.
Leaving is a given. In addition to preventing the dissipation of the Nine-Tails energy from causing certain impact and damage to the interior of Konoha during the process of weakening the [Bagua Seal], it is also to seize the time to find Tsunade, so as to bring the Sandaime to the throne. The last wish entrusted to me is fulfilled.
In this way, he could truly continue to search for the [Child of Destiny] that the Great Toad Senkama said could change the structure of the ninja world without any worries.
As for what the Sandaime was thinking, Jiraiya didn't care at all. His inner structure has long been revealed through his coexistence with the three little ones from the Kingdom of Rain in troubled times.
"I just wanted to ask if it would be a little too early to start tomorrow morning."
"After all, the wound on the child has not completely healed yet." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was accidentally poked into some thoughts by the former, obviously had a more sarcastic expression on his face.
But who is he? How many incidents have you experienced? Such a small setback was naturally suppressed by his hand.
"Since you are a ninja, you must be mentally prepared to continue performing even if you are injured."
"What's more, since that guy has inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and carries the power of the nine-tailed demon fox, he is destined to not be as fragile as ordinary ninjas." Jiraiya didn't doubt him and continued following the Sandaime Hokage's words. said.
But regarding this point, the former should be clearer than himself. What's more, during the war years, there were many ninjas who were similar to Naruto Uzumaki, or even younger, who rushed to the front lines without hesitation.
This is the consciousness of being a ninja.
"Well, you're right."
"Then, just do what you want."
"I hope that child, Naruto, can gain some bonds and the strength to break free from his fate from you."
"He has indeed not had an easy life these years."
"Although that boy has a bit of a naughty character, he actually longs to be seen by the world, accepted and recognized by others." I don't know if it was to strengthen Jiraiya's sympathy and sense of responsibility for Naruto Uzumaki, prompting him to show up this month During this period, I had to guide and educate the little guy well; or it was because I had some unspeakable guilt for the latter.
In short, looking at the disciple in front of him who wanted to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly added again.
"Why, I heard some guilt from your mouth."
"If you are really sorry, why haven't you taken the initiative to help him more over the years?"
"As Hokage, you should have such an ability." For some reason, after hearing the old man's entrustment and the repeated mention of Uzumaki Naruto's poor current situation, Jiraiya suddenly felt a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart. It feels so comfortable.
Of course, he couldn't blame him too directly. After all, as the Hokage of this village, after experiencing the disaster caused by the Kyuubi in the past, the other party had too many things to consider.
For the sake of the overall situation, the interests of some people will inevitably be sacrificed, and perfection will inevitably not be achieved. Moreover, in terms of seniority, he himself is also Uzumaki Naruto's master.
However, apart from the name, I care that I have not participated in the other person's life. Even if the Sandaime doesn't mention it, even if the little guy fails to pass the test he set, he will try his best to make up for the other party in this month.
"I also have my own difficulties." After opening his mouth silently, Sarutobi Hiruzen still gave such a weak answer.
"Yes Yes."
"Let's go, old man." Fortunately, Jiraiya didn't want to continue listening. After humming twice in an extremely perfunctory manner, he opened the door and prepared to leave.
But just when he stepped out of the room, he suddenly stopped as if he suddenly recalled something.
And after a little hesitation, he turned his back to the white-haired old man and said slowly: "When I was passing by the Country of Yu, I seemed to hear some stories about the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ara."
"The residents there don't seem to reject him as much as Konoha. They even have a completely different respect and praise for him than Konoha." When he said this, Jiraiya paused obviously.
Because he originally wanted to use some words with a clearer stance, for example, similar to the respect and belief that ninjas in each village have for their own [Kage].
After all, whether it is to quickly clean up all the evil forces in the Kingdom of Yu, or to exorcise the evil church and evil religion that has taken root in that area, completely eliminating this shadow that has existed for too long is enough to make that country residents are grateful.
However, he was worried that if he said such words directly, it would arouse some other emotions and thoughts of the third generation, so he would use relatively euphemistic words to describe it.
However, even relatively implicit words must be enough to alert the former.
"For Uchiha Ara, and the Uchiha clan behind him, I hope you can treat him truly fairly, and don't let the incident three years ago happen again."
"Then, that's it."
"Hello........."
"Well, forget it, I'm leaving." Jiraiya swallowed back the words 'do it for yourself' that he was about to blurt out.
After all, the other party is his mentor and the shadow of this village. He is not qualified to say such radical words.
'Da da da. 'As the crisp sound of clogs hitting the floor faded away, the entire Hokage's office fell silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind the Hokage's desk, smoked tobacco in a depressed manner. 【Tang Country,】【Thunder Light Group!
】【Sure enough, is that where you can rely? 】I don’t know how long it took, but the quiet environment was broken by a sharp "Hokage-sama".
I saw an ANBU ninja wearing a standard ninja uniform and a white mask half-kneeling quietly in the office.
"Send an order to have the garrison on the eastern border keep an eye on every move of the Yuno Country ninjas, in case there is any cross-border situation."
"Then it's considered a war."
"At the same time, the same order has been issued to the garrison on the western border to monitor the Sunagakure Village ninjas who are conducting military exercises. If there is an unreasonable border crossing, it will be regarded as a war!"
"Even if they are allies." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was cold and irrefutable.
He didn't care at all about the huge sacrifices such a decision would cause. At this moment, Yu Zhi had only one thought in his mind.
It is absolutely impossible for the Thunder Group from the Country of Yu to the east, the Sunagakure Village from the Country of Wind to the west, and the Uchiha clan in the center of the whirlpool to form a triangle of encirclement against Konoha!
"Yes." After a simple response, the ANBU ninja who appeared quietly disappeared into the Hokage's office, leaving only the Sandaime alone, who continued to work at his desk.
At the same time, the battle far away in the Valley of the End also came to an end. The surface of the earth was shattered, giant trees collapsed, and large tracts of forest were flattened by violent collisions. The screams of the giant beasts completely turned into painful, low wails.
"Uchiha, damn Uchiha!!" Staring at the boy with his arms folded around his chest and resting peacefully among the mighty chakra giants, Ichibi Shukaku roared with hatred.
At the moment, it's in bad shape, very bad. Not only did the Jinchuuriki not die, he was saved by that bastard Uchiha at the critical moment.
The most important thing is that after landing, it still doesn't have the slightest advantage. Ninjutsu is useless, and the body that can be relied on is tightly restrained by the giant blade wrapped with special demonic flames.
Every blow seems to strike at its soul and the source of its power, making it weaker and weaker as it fights, but the opponent still looks at ease!
During this period, it thought about escaping. However, it is already surrounded by equally obscure and powerful individuals on all sides, and there is no way to escape.
Moreover, if they end together, there is no doubt that they will lose faster. [What is going on with these guys!
] Puzzle roared in his heart.
"You are really weak,"
"So, have you decided how to die?" Huang said with an indifferent expression as he looked at the demon raccoon with wounds all over his body, fine sand and soil scattered freely from his body, and only one claw left on his upper limb.
"kill me?"
"Kill me and that guy won't survive."
"If you really want to kill me, why bother to save him!!" Suppressing the anger in his heart, the one-tailed Shukaku used sharp words to deal with it. At the same time, it was also mobilizing its own power to kill the bastard in front of it directly. A blow!
"Oh, this is just for the sake of Sunagakure Village, leaving a whole body."
"Anyway, over the years, haven't he been assassinated by people from his own village enough?" As soon as the boy finished speaking, the bull ghost standing in the north threw Gaara in his hand to the ground, not caring whether the subsequent fight would happen or not. It will affect him who falls into coma.
Such a scene and the past that the host had experienced made Shukaku feel a little bit less confident.
"What will it take for you to let me go!" So, looking at the chakra giant approaching step by step, it made a compromise.
But it's a false compromise. As long as the other party gets closer, and gets closer... that's now!
"I will not die!" Without any warning, Shukaku screamed and opened his huge mouth, with deep purple energy condensing in his mouth!
The energy symbolizing destruction was pouring out and raging around at this moment. This is its strongest blow.
【Tailed Beast Jade. ] However, before it could fully unleash its offensive, the giant's arm had already arrived in front of it and pressed its long mouth fiercely.
Such a sudden attack directly caused Shukaku to hold the ball full of terrifying energy in his mouth, and no matter how hard he struggled, the former showed no signs of relaxing.
What reflected in Yao Li's eyes was the young man's indifferent attitude and cold mockery.
"Playing cleverly in front of the prophecy kaleidoscope."
"I really don't know where you got the courage."
"Die."
