Chapter 59
Konoha.
Hokage's temporary office
"Old man, what's the matter that calls me back so urgently?"
A young man with white hedgehog hair was lying on the sofa, not doing anything serious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed:
"Jiraiya, you've seen what's happening in Konoha."
"Now is the difficult autumn"
"I hope you can take on the responsibility of being a Konoha ninja and stay to help me."
Jiraiya heard this and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Old man, please don't embarrass me."
"I'm not that cut out for this"
"Didn't Orochimaru become the head of Root?"
"That guy is always steady."
"I won't get involved if he's around."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed:
"You are a hopeless case."
"I've been so lazy since I was a kid."
"If you had half the research spirit of Orochimaru, you would definitely be the strongest among the three ninjas now."
When these words came out, both the master and the apprentice were stunned and fell into silence.
Among the three ninjas, there was also Tsunade.
Tsunade's challenge letter was still on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
After a long time, Jiraiya said painfully:
"Old man, must things have come to this?"
He was a sentimental man.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was his mentor.
Tsunade was his teammate and dream lover.
He was not unaware of what was going on between the two.
But he could not tell who was right and who was wrong.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed:
"Now it's not what I want, it's what Tsunade wants"
"I destroyed the Senju clan for the good of Konoha."
"With these big families around, when will the children of commoners have a chance to make a breakthrough?"
Jiraiya was silent.
He knew very well that this was only part of the reason.
The most important reason was that his teacher was greedy for power and didn't want anyone to threaten him.
When he thought of the smoldering Sarutobi teacher becoming the cold-blooded Sandaime Hokage, he didn't want to hold any position in Konoha.
Power is too corrupting to people's hearts.
It's better to stay away from it.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:
"At least, I didn't do anything to her, right?"
"She is still the princess of Konoha, I will give her whatever she wants."
"What else does she want?"
"You won't give up the position of Hokage to her, right?"
Jiraiya sighed deeply.
He rubbed his face and put on a smile.
"Old man, I don't want anything to happen to you or Tsunade."
"If you two insist on fighting to the death, then I can only stand by and watch."
"Besides, I will not take any position in Konoha."
After that
, he walked to the window and turned back to say:
"I went to find Orochimaru"
"Long time no see, I missed that guy a lot."
After Jiraiya walked away, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned completely cold.
He never thought that at this time, Jiraiya would not help him.
""Ignorant wolf!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared in the office at some point.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at his son and rarely said anything.
"Father, you shouldn't have taught them"
""What the hell are these two?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was indignant.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said nothing.
In fact, he was very regretful in his heart.
It was originally a proud thing to teach three world-famous disciples.
But who knew that these three disciples were all ungrateful.
Not to mention Orochimaru, if you don't show actual benefits, he won't help you even if you call him dad.
Jiraiya is also an ungrateful wolf. It's a pity that he had high hopes for Jiraiya and recruited Jiraiya back.
What disgusted him the most was Tsunade.
Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?
She has been a mentor and a helpful friend for so many years, and cultivated feelings for so many years, but it was all in vain.
"Father, do you want me to take Ye Bu to get Tsunade?……"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke made a"killing" gesture when he was halfway through his words. Sarutobi
Hiruzen felt a little tired.
His son, although not as strong as the three ninjas, was still pretty good.
But in terms of brains, he was too simple.
If he could assassinate Tsunade, he would have done it long ago.
Do you need to say it? Besides
, the whole ninja world knows about it now. If he really assassinates Tsunade, how will the world look at him?
Will he still have face?
"No, I know my limits."
"You go down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke had no choice but to leave.
"It's time to go to Mount Sarutobi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured.
He had to take Tsunade's challenge seriously.
If it was the old Tsunade, he could still ignore it.
But now, Tsunade has awakened Wood Release.
He once followed Senju Tobirama and witnessed the peak duel between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Even now, he still needs to look up to that duel.
Immediately, he suddenly slapped his palm on the ground.
"Spiritualism!"
After a puff of smoke, the ape demon appeared in front of him
"Sarutobi, have you made up your mind?"
Sarutobi said solemnly.
"No matter what, I can't lose"
"Even if it means death!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said every word, showing his heroic character.
Yuan Mo nodded and said:
"In this case, I will go back and prepare."
"When you are ready, I will use the reverse summoning technique to summon you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the shoulder of the demon.
"please."
