After all, this is the time.
In the eyes of these people in Kirigakure Village.
These strange things that happened in Konoha Village have been attributed to Namikaze Minato.
So in their impression, Namikaze Minato has become the person who planned all this, a very sinister young man who is not particularly easy to get along with.
certainly.
Even the Loquat Juzo who gave them this impression also thought so in his heart.
It is for this reason that everyone feels that it is difficult to negotiate with Namikaze Minato, and this is also the greatest value of Loquat Juzo at present.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
The third Mizukage raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile. He had just disintegrated the shadow of Kirigakure Village, and his foundation was not solid.
In addition, just after he took over, Kirigakure Village had already broken up with Kumogakure Village.
Not only did he not get the support of Yunyin Village, but he also had a big enemy at the beginning. This kind of thing was actually very difficult for him.
but.
Now there is a thread called Loquat Juzo.
He can use his own abilities to catch up with Konoha Village.
You must know that Konoha Village has changed to a new Hokage, and this Hokage will lead Konoha Village to a completely different and new height. In this case, being good friends with Konoha Village will also be good for Kirigakure Village. A very important thing.
All of a sudden.
In the eyes of the Third Mizukage, Loquat Juzo's position is very important. This person already represents the future of Kirigakure Village, and his decisions will affect the rise and fall of Kirigakure Village.
"I will definitely complete the mission!"
Loquat Shizang said eloquently, his face was very serious, and he knew very well what he meant by what he said now, which carried the hope of the revival of Kirigakure Village.
In fact, he could have kept it secret that he knew about Namikaze Minato.
This also allows him to take less risks.
The task he was doing now was what he had just said.
If he hadn't just said these words.
There is absolutely no way such a mission would exist now.
So now, they will be meeting to speculate on the impact of what happened in Konoha Village.
Perhaps the vast majority of people are waiting to see the joke in Konoha Village.
After all, this kind of thing has not happened in Konoha Village for a long, long time, and such things are rare even in the entire human world.
You must know that Orochimaru is the disciple of the Third Hokage, and Danzo is the person whom the Third Hokage trusts most. These two people simultaneously exposed the black information of Konoha Village and dragged the Third Generation into the water. If this kind of thing happened in any village, , will all be thrown into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Loquat Shizang is fully confident and believes that other villages are also discussing this issue at the same time. However, they do not have such information, so the angle of discussion must be different from theirs.
Some villages even laughed at the situation that happened in Konoha Village.
After all, many people regard Konoha Village as a thorn in their side and want Konoha Village to continue to be in chaos. The more that happens, the more excited they become and the more comfortable they feel.
From the current perspective.
Konoha Village has indeed become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world.
But if you understand what's going on.
You will understand how powerful Namikaze Minato's skills are.
He had witnessed Namikaze Minato performing time and space in front of him, and the appearance of the ninjutsu, and he had even seen Namikaze Minato's girlfriend, how powerful the Kyuubi was.
This person can obviously solve it in the simplest and crudest way.
But he had to reconcile with them in the end in exchange for that information.
Not long after he learned the information, Danzo said those words and left the Leaf Village. The third generation also followed suit and resigned.
There is absolutely no way this is something that happens naturally.
No high-level village official would make such a simple mistake.
Simply put, there is only one possibility.
That means someone is controlling all of this behind the scenes.
As for controlling this person, his skills were extremely powerful. There was only one possibility for the person he could imagine, and that person was Namikaze Minato.
It is because they all have the same understanding that they think about things in a much more complicated way, which leads to what they are like now.
Loquat Juuzang has a strong sense of village honor in his heart. He feels that even if he has to do these things, he will still choose to go.
"I'll leave now."
Loquat Juuzang immediately spoke.
"At this time, something must have happened in Konoha Village. If my prediction is correct, a new Hokage of Konoha Village will be born in the next few days, and that person is Namikaze Minato."
"Now I can go to Konoha Village ahead of others."
"If we wait until the ninjas in other villages have reacted and sent envoys there, we will have no advantage."
Loquat Juuzang said one sentence after another. He understood that now is his best time. This is the power of intelligence and must not be let down.
Otherwise, the information he obtained would be worthless and meaningless.
It was precisely because of the information he had at the moment that he was able to take the lead in this kind of matter. Before others came to visit Namikaze Minato, he arrived early to establish better contact with Namikaze Minato, so that Konoha Village and The fog shadow villages are all connected.
"Huh..."
Everyone at the scene took a deep breath. Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Loquat Juuzang. There was more awe in their pupils. They had re-recognized Loquat Juuzang because this person could Kirigakure makes anything possible.
…
Since the recent period.
Because of the exposure of Orochimaru and Danzo, these black materials flew all over the sky.
The entire ninja world knew what happened in the Leaf Village.
Each force has different views on this matter. They came to different conclusions after discussions at the meeting, and almost everyone has their own opinions.
Kirigakure believes that they have obtained more information, and at the same time, their guess is the closest to the real situation. They know that there is a pair of black hands behind Konoha Village, which determines everything here, but they think that the pair of black hands is Namikaze Minato. , and determined that Minato Namikaze would become the new generation of Hokage.
The Iwagakure Village believes that this is the sacrificial spirit of the third generation. In their view, the third generation decided to withdraw from the position of Hokage and entrust his hope to the future Namikaze Minato. At the same time, he used this method to paralyze other people in the ninja world and let the whole world Everyone thought that Konoha Village was becoming more chaotic, but at the same time, this new-old alternation method was created to successfully complete the transfer of power and make the people of Konoha Village more obedient to Namikaze Minato.
Iwagakure Village was completely dismissive of this kind of thing. They thought it was so ridiculous that there was no need to even hold a meeting.
From the perspective of Sunagakure Village, they usually feel that things behind the scenes may not be that simple, but they don't have any mental conjectures about what the specific situation is, and they can only watch the political changes silently.
As for the other ninjas.
Their thoughts are very simple, and they just feel like watching a show.
In their view, it turns out that there is so much shady material behind even someone as powerful as Konoha Village. In order to protect their own interests, the senior officials can say that they will do whatever they can to protect their own interests.
In the past few days.
Things in Konoha Village formed a whirlwind.
Sweeping every corner of the ninja world.
It sparked discussion among almost all ninjas.
…
In the Kingdom of Iron, somewhere, at the entrance of a tavern.
A muscular figure slowly walked to the door of the tavern. He stretched out his right hand and pushed forward hard. The wooden door slowly opened, and the noisy sounds inside rushed towards him.
This person has long silver-white hair.
There is a special ninja on the head. There is no village logo on the monkey, only the word "oil" is written on it.
It's still afternoon now, but there are already many customers in the bar.
They drank and chatted.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, everyone's face was red, and the content of the chat was related to the recent incident in Konoha Village.
"Have you heard about the recent events in Konoha Village?"
"I heard it, I heard it. It's so funny."
"Orochimaru, the disciple of the Third Hokage, actually publicly told all the misdeeds he had done over the years in front of the entire village."
"Not only, not only Orochimaru, but also Shimura Danzo, the man who walks in the darkness."
"When things have developed to this extent, they have become a scandal in Konoha Village."
"I also heard that the Third Hokage has taken the blame and resigned."
"I wonder who the new generation of Hokage of Konoha Village is?"
"Whoever he is, Konoha Village has become a joke."
"Yeah, yeah, we just have to laugh at them. After all, this kind of thing has never happened before."
“…”
One after another, the voices of discussion kept ringing out, filling the bar, making the bar even more chaotic.
Everyone at the scene was laughing wantonly at such a thing.
After all, for anyone, things in Konoha Village are enough to be ridiculed.
The man with long silver hair slowly sat on a chair. His expression was neither happy nor sad, as if he had not heard these words.
Just tears in the corners of his eyes.
Let people feel some of the changes.
This person is none other than Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha Village.
"I didn't expect such a big change to occur in Konoha Village."
Jiraiya murmured to himself that he was preparing to return to Konoha Village. Of course, the reason why he knew this was not because he didn't want to learn from the things that happened now, because he had just learned about these things.
He went back because he saw a magical book.
Teacher Bai from Ninja School.
The book is still in his ninja bag.
I can’t remember how many times it has been read.
After making inquiries during this period, he discovered that the author of this book was from the Leaf Village.
With this feeling.
He started back on the road back to Konoha Village.
What he didn't expect was that he would hear some information about the Leaf Village here, and the people involved were all his acquaintances.
"A glass of soju."
Jiraiya waved casually to the bar of the tavern, sat down quietly, and waited for the wine to arrive.
For now.
He didn't need to ask these people anything.
He just needs to listen quietly.
These people at the scene were talking to each other, and the chats were all about things in the Leaf Village, and there were almost no other topics.
Although these words may be magnified with their subjective thoughts, that is, they are a secondary creation based on the original situation, the whole process is like spreading rumors, but these words are not completely false, there are a lot of real events in them, It's just that these real things are appropriately exaggerated within everyone's control.
"okay!"
The waiter at the tavern bar responded quickly, then took a glass of sake and started heating it. After a while, the strong aroma of the wine began to fragrant.
After a while, the glass of wine was handed to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was not polite, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip. As the wine went into his throat, he listened more carefully to what was said there.
Now this time.
He already had a rough idea of what was going on.
Although things may not be exactly as he understands them, there may be some discrepancies, but generally there will be almost no changes.
No surprises.
It should be Orochimaru who exposed what happened in Konoha Village.
There's a lot of black stuff here.
Then Danzo also said a lot of things.
The words of these two people almost confirmed all these things.
As a price, the third generation was brought up, which made it possible for the third generation to continue to be the Hokage.
He didn't completely believe what happened to Orochimaru. After all, there seemed to be a lot of strange things here, but he still expected that the third generation would do something. After all, he knew his teacher too well.
"It's time to go back and take a look."
Jiraiya had originally planned to go back, but he never made up his mind. After all, he left the village just because he didn't want to go back, and he found so many reasons and excuses.
If he goes back like this now, he will need to make up some new reasons if he wants to come out again.
Although he seems very carefree now.
But in fact he is still a ninja of Konoha Village.
He cannot leave the village at will. He needs to have a reasonable and legitimate reason, at least an excuse.
If you don't have these, you can't leave the village casually, otherwise you will be judged as a traitor.
He didn't want to end up as a rebellious ninja.
So when he goes back, he will still be subject to some restrictions. Basically, he will not go back easily unless there is a last resort.
It's just like being in school.
Jiraiya was like a student who skipped classes.
He found a reasonable and justifiable reason for asking for leave, and then left without wanting to go back. This way he could at least maintain his status as a student.
But if he comes back and runs out again.
Skipping classes for long periods of time.
Then he might end up being expelled from school.
This is almost the same.
Jiraiya doesn't want to be restricted in the Leaf Village, and he doesn't want to be arranged by others, especially when his ideas are contrary to those of the higher-ups of the Leaf Village.
Based on things like this.
Even if he wanted to return to Konoha Village.
I will drag it as much as possible.
But this time.
When he knew that the third generation had withdrawn from the position of Hokage.
Well he understands now.
The time has come to go back, because I also participated in the selection of the new generation of Hokage, and he must be present at this time.
This is not to say that he has any interest in the position of Hokage.
Instead, he had to find a reason again in front of the new Hokage.
As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.
He needs to report this matter to the new Hokage again to ensure that he can go out smoothly again without being implicated or restricted or affected.
Finish this glass of soju.
Jiraiya immediately stood up and left the tavern, embarking on the road to Konoha Village.
"It might as well go back and take a look now."
"I haven't seen the teacher for a while."
"I don't know where Orochimaru has gone."
"I must find him."
"He must give an explanation to the Leaf Village."
"I can't allow him to turn around and run away after doing something like this."
"Looks like things are getting more lively."
The corners of Jiraiya's lips curled up into a smile, and he immediately set foot on the road to Konoha Village. The distance from the Country of Iron to the Country of Fire was not particularly far, but he had never taken this step.
"Now it seems that there are still many things that people miss about Konoha Village."
Jiraiya thought that actually he still had a lot of things to do. For example, maybe he could see Tsunade when he went back this time, he could see how Namikaze Minato's boy had grown up, and he could see what the current situation of the third generation was like. Finally, and most importantly, he could see the author of the book here.
The author of that book is actually very important.
Jiraiya is also a novelist himself.
He has been working hard to write the Ninja World Fire Book, searching for inspiration and resources everywhere, and constantly going to various places to collect materials, so that he can write the current work.
But.
What he never expected was.
There is such a genius in Konoha Village who can write such a haunting story.
This kind of thing is really rare.
So much so that he couldn't believe his eyes.
This kind of book exists like a dream.
It shouldn't appear in the real world.
…
On the other side, somewhere, is the casino.
A woman with the word "Gamble" written on her body walked into the casino. She had a hot figure and a free and easy personality. Almost everyone in the casino knew her.
This is a big fat sheep.
Every bet must be lost.
Every time I come it's like giving away money.
As long as you play the same bet with her, you can almost win.
This also caused that as long as she participated in the gambling game, there would be a lot of people coming, and she had become a celebrity here in a short period of time.
In the midst of gambling.
The dice swing.
There was a constant crackling sound in the small cup.
This is a very classic gambling game here. If you bet big or small, no matter how unlucky you are, you will not keep losing.
But there are still people who can keep losing in this kind of gambling.
That is the legendary big fat sheep.
Wherever the big fat sheep goes.
Then all bets are profitable.
Everyone is waiting for the fattened sheep!
this day.
Tsunade walked in the gambling room.
Only this kind of gambling can make her feel a little better. She uses this method every day to numb herself.
"Have you heard? Something happened in Konoha Village!"
At this time, a man in the gambling game said with a smile, in fact, they rarely chatted when gambling, because this was not a relaxing occasion, not like chatting at the dinner table or drinking, but Focus on yourself and see if you can make or lose money.
But after this man spoke, everyone had a smile on their face.
It was a faint, sarcastic smile.
It can be said that everyone has many inexplicable feelings in their hearts after encountering such a thing.
"How could you not know?"
"Everyone in the world knows about this now."
"Konoha Village can't live without its own fault."
"It's true that such a scandal happened in such a big village."
"If it were me, I would also want to find a place to hide in. I would not dare to admit that I am from the Leaf Village."
“…”
The gamblers in the live gambling game chatted one sentence after another. Their attention was still on the gambling table, and they just chatted casually, indicating that they had heard such stories.
"Um?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and glanced at these gamblers.
"What happened in the Leaf Village?"
Tsunade was very confused mentally. During this period of time, she had not paid attention to anything in the ninja world at all. She was completely unaware of the development of the ninja world. She only knew that the third ninja war was held not long ago, but She no longer had any interest in those things.
Now this time.
Suddenly I heard this about Konoha Village.
And these gamblers didn't say what it was at all, they just laughed to their heart's content.
When will Konoha Village be laughed at by so many people
All of a sudden.
Tsunade's curiosity grew.
I couldn't help but ask.
The gamblers at the scene all raised their heads and looked at Tsunade, their expressions became weird. If it were anyone else, they would definitely say something sarcastic. You don't even know about the most popular things at the moment. Things like being out of date.
But the person in front of me is a big fat sheep.
That was the legendary financial owner.
They have been here for so long just to get some benefits from her.
Now Big Fat Sheep has initiated questions in this regard.
There is no reason for them not to reply.
Otherwise, it is likely to affect the relationship between them.
Once the big fat sheep becomes unhappy and leaves here, their bet will be gone.
"A very ridiculous thing happened in Konoha Village recently."
One of the gamblers' eyes fell on the master, and he glanced up and down. Finally, he found a suitable focus point and focused his eyes on the ups and downs of the mountains.
"Maybe you don't know that yet."
"Orochimaru, the disciple of the third Hokage of Konoha Village."
"And the Third Hokage's best friend, Shimura Danzo."
"These two people jointly exposed all the dirty information in Konoha Village over the years."
"It contains many things that the Third Hokage did."
"These things are now fully out there."
"Not only the entire ninja world, but people all over the world are discussing these."
"Maybe it's because I don't want to be humiliated."
"The Third Hokage of Konoha Village resigned."
"Actually, if I think about it, if it were me, I would find a place to get out, and I would have to appear in front of everyone again."
The gambler said with a smile.
In fact, at this time, he didn't know these so-called inside stories at all. The knowledge he knew was much less than that of other people in the ninja village. It was just what he heard after dinner.
But people are often like this. After they understand something, they may only stop at a very superficial level, but they must pretend that they understand it very well.
Especially the most popular things about eating melons nowadays, a simple look at them will express your own judgment and understanding.
Otherwise, you will look very outdated.
Knowing is necessary, but it does not necessarily mean understanding, and even if they do not understand, it does not prevent them from expressing their own personalized opinions.
Especially when things are unclear, they will express some unique opinions, or deliberately go against the grain, in order to highlight their own personality and attract unique attention.
"Sandai resigned?"
After hearing such words, Tsunade's face flashed with confusion. She didn't know what happened at all. She just looked at the unopened dice in front of her, with a very complicated emotion in her head.
Before she left Konoha Village, she very much hoped that Konoha Village could change, especially some political status, involving the position of Hokage in Konoha Village.
But this kind of thing is not that easy.
Even some of the suggestions she made were not fully understood, which ultimately led to her leaving Konoha Village and evolving into what it is now.
But…
When she heard that the third generation resigned.
The mood is still quite complicated.
The Tsunade at this time is not the Tsunade during the three generations of death in future history. The Tsunade at that time has left Konoha Village for a long time, and her heart has long been numb, and she will not easily have any emotional fluctuations.
But Tsunade is different now.
She has just left Konoha Village not long ago, and the environment she is in is still a chaotic gambling situation. The less she cares about the affairs of the village, the more she misses her in her heart. This is the nature of human beings.
Often things that you really don’t care about can be done without being so deliberate!
All of a sudden.
Tsunade pursed her lips.
"What else do you know?"
Tsunade continued to think about these people and asked. After all, she still wanted to know more clearly about some things about Konoha Village. These things were very important to her, and she still cared about Konoha Village. Ye Cun's, after all, it wasn't long before she left with a disappointed attitude.
All of a sudden.
The gamblers at the scene looked at each other.
Their expressions became weird.
They simply didn't understand why such a big fat sheep was actually curious about things in the Leaf Village. Judging from the appearance of this woman, she didn't look like a ninja at all, and she was so concerned.
"Actually, this is not an important matter."
"It's nothing more than some scandal."
"This is not important at all."
"The village of Konoha is in ruins."
"Let's start the bet."
"It's enough to just laugh at such a boring thing."
"There's no need to waste too much time on him."
"Not worth it at all."
The gambler said one sentence after another. In fact, he didn't know anything more. He just knew that Orochimaru and Danzo had leaked many scandals, exposed many secrets about strangers, and said many things they had done. matter.
but…
What's the matter with you
He didn't know.
He had no idea what Orochimaru and Danzo had revealed.
I don’t even know what impact these things will have.
He also didn't know what the truth of these things was.
I don’t understand what the significance of these things revealed by Uncle Maru and Danzo are to Capricorns
To him, he is just a member of the public.
And this melon is not particularly comfortable to eat.
Because he is not very curious about this melon.
Now that he knows this, he is even less curious.
The reason why he said this was just to show that he understood some of the popular things at the moment, so that he knew a lot and there wouldn't be any big surprises. He just wanted to end it after saying this. .
But he never thought of it.
This big fat sheep actually started asking questions.
And there is a vague attitude of asking for more information.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
We can't let her continue asking like this.
Because even he didn't know what happened next.
"No more gambling."
At this moment, Tsunade immediately stood up and walked directly outside the casino in a smart manner. After knowing these things, although she didn't know very clearly, she understood what she had to continue to do at this time point. , not gambling here, but returning to Konoha Village.
Some things can only be made clearer by going back in person.
Now it's time to go back.
"Don't leave."
The eyes of the gamblers fell on Tsunade one after another. They all knew very well that if this big fat sheep left here, then they would have no money to make during this period.
This kind of thing is really too important!
It absolutely cannot end like this!
All of a sudden.
The expressions on almost every gambler's face became tense. Their eyes were all focused on Tsunade, and they were extremely concerned about the latter.
This is not a simple gambling companion, but a money bag that they rely on to survive.
For these gamblers…
Making money is not the first priority!
Although they all come here to gamble in name, deep down in their hearts, all they want is nothing more than recognition, which comes from inner satisfaction. After successful gambling, the goddess of fate stands on their side. The feeling of accomplishment on this side.
These feelings are often more comfortable than money!
Money is just the icing on the cake.
It is the fruit that comes with victory.
Now, what this person, this legendary big fat sheep, can satisfy them is not just money, but also the sense of accomplishment of winning in gambling.
It was like a short period of time in their gambling life, which relieved their originally tense life, but when they returned to such a life now, they still felt a little disappointed.
Although each of them knew that this would happen sooner or later...
But when the time came, everyone felt very disappointed, to an indescribable degree.
"No."
Tsunade shook her head decisively. She was not an indecisive person, and she also liked others to influence her choices. This was evident from her ability to become Hokage in the future.
As long as it's something she decides.
Then you will definitely do it.
Now she is going back to Konoha Village.
"I gotta go."
Tsunade left the last words and walked directly out of the main entrance of the casino, feeling the dazzling sunshine outside, and embarked on the road to Konoha Village.
Going back this time not only involves the third generation, but also Orochimaru, which shows that Konoha Village is in great chaos at the moment.
(End of chapter)
