MTL - Naruto’s Strongest Force-Chapter 40
Therefore, Jiraiya's words are of great reference value.
Moreover, even the Third Hokage himself has not fully realized how powerful Jiraiya's sage mode is, since Jiraiya said there is no problem.
Those three generations were much more relaxed.
After all, Uchiha Natsuki has always been an unstable factor, often making unexpected moves.
This time, Jiraiya's reputation has been ruined. I have to say that it will suit Jiraiya's wishes. After all, the third generation can no longer force Jiraiya to take over as Hokage.
Which village's shadow can be a voyeur?
Speaking of which, since Orochimaru is not the murderer who stole the baby, then...
"Old man, I'm ready to leave." Jiraiya interrupted the Third Hokage's thoughts.
Sandai frowned: "You're leaving in such a short time?"
Jiraiya spread his hands: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with staying in the village. You have disbanded the Roots, and Uchiha has given back his rights. I tried Natsuki and he is not a careerist."
"Why should I keep it?"
The third generation looked at Jiraiya with suspicious eyes: "Are you afraid that you can't go to the bathhouse to peep, so you are in a hurry to leave?"
Jiraiya's head was filled with dark clues: "That's absolutely not the case! I just received news from Orochimaru and wanted to check it out."
"Really!?" There was a different emotion in Sandai's voice.
But Jiraiya didn't hear it and just nodded seriously: "It's true. I received clues that there are traces of Orochimaru in the northern Tian Country."
Sandai pondered for a moment: "Then go ahead, there's no need to catch him back."
Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage in surprise.
"What did you say, old man?"
The Third Hokage looked a little confused and picked up his pipe and took a puff.
After a long time, he sighed: "It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not. Just help me bring this message to him."
"Old man?" Jiraiya was quite moved. He knew what the third generation meant by this sentence.
It means that the third generation will not pursue the past things. Moreover, the third generation still regarded Orochimaru as his disciple.
The third generation waved his hand a little tiredly: "Natsuki brought the news that the kidnapping of the baby was Danzo's work, and Orochimaru was at best collaborating on experiments."
"Although I don't know where Xiamu got the news, there is no need for him to lie."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up. To be honest, his friendship with Orochimaru was not shallow, otherwise he wouldn't have been working as a foreigner. He talked about chasing Orochimaru, but he was actually traveling outside.
If the kidnapping of the baby hadn't been so bad back then, Jiraiya wouldn't have taken this job. Now he actually said that the mastermind of the kidnapping was Danzo.
Jiraiya suddenly felt relieved.
When it comes to the relationship between the Third Generation and Orochimaru, Jiraiya is also clear about it. The Third Generation originally intended Orochimaru to be the Fourth Hokage.
But Orochimaru was too powerful and extremely independent in his thinking. He would not accept anyone's control at all. None of the elders in Konoha agreed.
The third generation also wanted to temper Orochimaru's temperament, and finally chose Namikaze Minato, a civilian representative. After all, Namikaze Minato had no backstage and was easier to control.
Unexpectedly, Orochimaru was too arrogant and couldn't stand being provoked, so he went directly into the darkness to pursue his truth.
In the end, a baby kidnapping case broke out, and Orochimaru never explained it from beginning to end.
In the end, Orochimaru's departure was not so much because of his position as Hokage, but rather because he couldn't stand it and it was the third generation's distrust of him.
And the so-called Konoha Collapse Plan that Orochimaru came up with in the end was just like a child showing off his achievements to adults.
Even when he finally killed the Third Hokage, he shed tears himself.
Jiraiya had dealt with Natsuki, and although the process was not pleasant, Jiraiya also believed the information.
"Okay, I will pass the message to Orochimaru." Jiraiya's casual expression also changed slightly.
The Third Hokage waved his hand.
"Go and see Naruto before you leave. That kid is in ninja school now."
Jiraiya nodded and disappeared into the office.
…
Jiraiya came out of the Hokage Building and deliberately used the transformation technique to avoid commotion.
Became an ordinary Konoha ninja.
It was afternoon and the school had not ended yet.
Jiraiya found a suitable location after greeting the ANBU nearby who were monitoring Naruto.
Jiraiya looked over and saw Naruto, who had fluffy yellow hair and a few beards on his face, training on the playground with a serious look on his face.
They started with running, but also had to cross obstacles, jump into pits, and cross ropes.
These are the most basic physical fitness and body coordination training.
Iruka leads the team at the front. Iruka spoke as he ran.
"After you graduate, you will encounter countless terrain obstacles when performing tasks, so you must adapt to various terrains now."
The fastest student behind him is Sasuke. He has a very serious face and he will not be careless about any training.
From jumping into pits to crossing ropes, Sasuke's movements were very standardized and natural. You could tell at a glance that he had received similar training at home.
But the other people behind were different. Children from all the major ninja clans were running ahead.
Children from other civilian families are still a little overwhelmed by this kind of training. There are many children who fall into the pit and cry loudly, fall off the rope, and are unable to get up after falling for a long time.
Of course, there are also children from the great ninja clan who run slower, such as Akimichi Choji...
The most outstanding among the civilians is Naruto. Naruto takes this kind of training very seriously. He always remembers Natsuki-senpai's expectations for him.
Therefore, even though Naruto often fell into pits or fell off ropes, he quickly got up and worked hard to catch up with Sasuke and his party.
After the last three laps, only half of the students had finished, but Naruto just relied on his perseverance and ran to the end of the first echelon, finishing in ninth place.
Jiraiya, who was far away in the tree, was very pleased to see it.
Naruto is really hardworking and very sensible.
At the end of the training, Mr. Iruka announced the rankings and then left for free activities.
Iruka came to Naruto: "Naruto, are you okay?"
Naruto worked very hard just now, so he fell many times and had many bruises on his body.
Naruto raised his head to Iruka and showed a big smile: "Iruka-sensei, I'm fine. They're just minor injuries."
Iruka patted Naruto on the shoulder with a gentle face: "Naruto, you performed very well this time, but be careful next time and don't be so reckless."
Naruto gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, Mr. Iruka, I will definitely get first place in the next training!"
"Naruto! Come over and play games!" A voice came from afar.
"Iruka-sensei, I'm going to play..." Iruka's next words were stuck in his throat.
Seeing that Naruto was indeed fine, Iruka could only shake his head helplessly.
"Let's play catch the bad guys!"
"Then I'll be a guard!"
"I also want to be a guard!"
"Then I can only pretend to be Jiraiya, and you come and catch me!"
Jiraiya, who was standing on the tree, almost fell down.
I greeted Natsuki heartily and left the Ninja School.
He couldn't stay in Konoha for even half a minute!
…
Chapter 51 Developments of all parties
The dissolution of the roots and Jiraiya's departure made Konoha return to the Konoha it once was.
The security force without Uchiha was well managed by the Hyuga clan.
But many people didn't notice that all the small restaurants related to Uchiha in Konoha Eighth Street had secretly closed their doors and renovated them.
Outside the Kingdom of Water, sporadic news came. The Snow Clan, the largest ninja clan in the Kingdom of Water with the blood inheritance limit, was dissatisfied with the fourth generation of Gotachibana Yagura being the Mizukage and assassinated him.
After the assassination failed, Yagura was seriously injured and disappeared behind the scenes, and then began the brutal purge of the major blood families in the Kingdom of Water.
Many Kirigakure ninjas began to flee.
Because the Kingdom of Water is far away, and after the country is closed, there is less and less news. The other forces are not very clear about what happened to Kirigakure.
The fourth generation Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure Village was hastily appointed during the Third Ninja War, and his foundation was originally unstable.
But after the Third Ninja War, he stabilized himself with his personal abilities and worked hard to develop the village's economy.
He also used his blood inheritance limit magnetic escape gold to pan for gold in the desert, which brought considerable financial subsidies to Sand Hidden Village, and Sand Hidden Village entered a period of stable development.
In Amegakure Village, where several countries meet, the old man Sanshouyu lost his fighting spirit and was greedy for pleasure. He was killed by Nagato. Then Amegakure Village entered the period of Nagato's rule.
Deidara, a talented young man from Iwagakure Village, eventually left Iwagakure Village and became a rebellious nin because he disobeyed discipline.
Yanyin Village is in a state of decline, with only one large wild tree supporting the scene.
Natsuki spent the rest of his time focusing on supporting Uchiha business.
At the beginning, when Natsuki asked these civilian Uchihas to change their businesses, they encountered considerable resistance.
But Xia Muzai showed off his skills and invited everyone to have a dinner together, and everyone was immediately conquered by the Chinese food.
The unique way of processing ingredients and the taste-bud-exploding flavors have made these Uchihas loyal fans of Chinese cuisine.
Xia Mu had already written a plan before and asked them to renovate their store.
Natsuki's attention was focused on communicating with Orochimaru.
Natsuki used Yao Ye's psychic beast to deliver messages every day, except for the various reports from Itachi and Shisui at the beginning.
The subsequent messages were basically discussions between Orochimaru and Natsuki.
Natsuki is also very optimistic about the strongest scientist in the world. Many of his future plans are inseparable from Orochimaru's support.
Natsuki also told Orochimaru some things that were not written in the plan.
When Orochimaru learned that the great changes in the ninja world would happen in a few years, he became even more urgent. The experiments continued every day, and he no longer had the intention to manage the Sound Ninja Village.
Fortunately, with the addition of Uchiha elites, the Sound Ninja Village instantly changed.
The number of tasks completed has jumped to become the ninja village with the most tasks among the five major ninja villages.
Leaving Amegakure, Takigakure, and Kusanagi far behind.
Under the investigation of many ninja villages, Uchiha, who was not disguised, instantly let all the major ninja villages know that Itachi had defected to a small ninja village.
All the ninja villages were watching Konoha's reaction, and the result surprised all the ninja villages.
Konoha was indifferent to this, as if the matter didn't matter at all.
What surprised everyone even more was that with so many Uchiha, if they wanted to seize power, the entire Sound Ninja Village would belong to the Uchiha.
But Uchiha didn't seem to have any thoughts in this regard, he just worked as a ninja in the Oto Ninja Village.
Natsuki was not surprised, because this group of Uchiha elites had long been brainwashed by other gods. Not to mention asking them to complete their tasks honestly, they could even commit suicide immediately.
Natsuki focused more of his energy on the renovation of restaurants on Konoha Eighth Street.
After inviting various Uchiha civilian bosses to taste delicious food last time.
Xia Mu's confidence in Chinese food has also increased a lot.
So the process was sped up, and in just two months, signs called [Chinese Food] were all over the entire Eight Streets of Konoha.
As soon as the store opened, it became popular throughout Konoha Village, and there was an endless stream of people coming to taste it.
All Uchiha shops sell different specialties: hot dry noodles, roujiamo, crayfish, rice rolls, rice noodles, snail noodles...
It's enough for you to eat from the street to the end of the street, with its exclusive production method and various secret ingredients.
With no way for others to imitate it, other restaurants in Konoha Village suddenly lost their business and had no choice but to change careers.
At the same time, in Tian Country, Natsuki took even greater steps.
