Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 170 The Walking Witch

"Is there still no news from Tsunade?"

also asked.

"There are no clues at all. The legs of Anbu who are looking for Tsunade-senpai are almost running thin. I have checked all the casinos in the Land of Fire. Unfortunately, Tsunade-senpai seems to have no intention of showing up at all, and has been playing with Anbe. Guerrilla warfare."

"That's it!"

Zilai also sighed lightly.

It seems that Tsunade still hasn't got rid of the shadow of the past after all these years, and he doesn't want to go back to the village... so forget it!Anyway, Mr. Chifeng looks old, but he should be able to persist for a few years. The new generation of Konoha is also thriving. It is better for him, a wanderer who left the village, not to point fingers at the affairs of the village. !
"A new generation?"

Immortal Toad's eyes flicked over Zongxian's body, and then turned to Itachi and Junmaro. Looking at these young faces, Jiraiya also deeply felt that Konoha's new generation had grown up. In fact, compared with these young people, he is already a genuine old thing.

"Munexian-kun, I heard that you met Orochimaru in the Water Country?" Since he didn't intend to express any further opinions on the Fifth Hokage, he simply changed the subject and talked about another matter that he was very concerned about.

He has been traveling for many years,

One is to find the Child of Destiny, which is a long task with no end in sight, and the other is to track the whereabouts of Orochimaru. For the betrayal of this former classmate and comrade-in-arms, he is still brooding and hard to let go.

"Yes."

Zong Xian nodded, "But it wasn't me who met Orochimaru, but Shisui. He fought with Orochimaru, and the end result was that Shisui was injured, and Orochimaru escaped alone. Junmaro... ·That white-haired kid, a child who was brainwashed and deceived by Orochimaru, was rescued by Shisui."

"According to Shisui's report, Orochimaru's soul was flawed because of his research on the forbidden technique of immortality, so he was easily repelled by him."

All these information about Orochimaru were compiled into reports and submitted to the village.

With Jiraiya's status, he must have seen all these information, and Zong Xian is just repeating it at the moment.

"Uchiha Shisui? Repelled the two-tailed Jinchuriki with your own strength, you Uchiha are really talented! You can make that guy Orochimaru suffer... I really want to see that bastard look embarrassed, I betrayed the village in order to live forever, but in the end I got rid of my own soul by researching forbidden techniques!" Jiraiya seemed to be cursing, but also seemed to be sighing, even Jun Malu who was standing not far away could do it. Feel the complex emotions contained in the words.

"The Kingdom of Water... Let's go and see it if you have the chance!"

Zilai also murmured.

Although Orochimaru is unlikely to stay in the country of water, but who can say for sure about this kind of thing, that guy's brain is different from ordinary people, and he can't figure out what Orochimaru is thinking according to common sense.

"It's okay to go to the country of water. We are allies with Mist Ninja now, but... I thought Jiraiya-senpai would stay in the village and take care of Naruto!"

"I'm used to traveling all over the world. I can't hold back my desire to travel after staying in the village for such a long time!"

Jilai also smiled freely, "As for Naruto, I originally thought that if it didn't work, I would take him away from Konoha and travel with me, but now it seems that it is better to let him stay in the village, compared with a bad The old man is traveling together, what Naruto needs is a friend of the same age...but I will come back to visit Naruto from time to time!"

learn from mistakes,
After being fooled by Sarutobi-sensei for a while, Jiraiya obviously learned his lesson, his last sentence was an implicit threat, and he was always worried that Uchiha's approaching Naruto was a force plotting Kyuubi.

"Please don't worry, Naruto is my sister's friend, and he can be regarded as half of my disciple. No matter what, it won't make his life worse than when the third generation was in power." Zong Xian smiled ironically and went back. Before threatening others, first see clearly whose fault Naruto was treated in the past.

Hearing what Zong Xian said,

Ji Lai Ye's smile stiffened suddenly.

This is something he can't let go of until now. Some of Sarutobi-sensei's actions made him completely unacceptable. However, Sarutobi-sensei is gone. No matter how much dissatisfaction there is in his heart, he can only hold it in his heart, and there is no way to vent it. , even if he was ridiculed like this, he could only endure it.

"Half a disciple? You taught Naruto the secret technique of painting, Zongxian-kun?"

Zilai, who was not justified, had no choice but to change the subject.

"Super beast fake painting, Yang escape secret technique is very suitable for Naruto, he is not only Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also inherited the blood of the Uzumaki clan, this kind of Yang escape type of secret technique can shine in his hands. "Zong Xian didn't chase after him too closely, a sarcasm was enough, and he continued to gossip with Zilai as if nothing had happened.

"Then why not just accept Naruto as a disciple?"

"One is to avoid suspicion."

Zongxian replied calmly, "After all, our Uchiha clan has such a history. Strictly speaking, Shisui and I both have the power to manipulate tailed beasts... If Naruto is accepted as a disciple, maybe there will be some monsters in the village. How many gossips are not conducive to our family's integration into the village."

"The second is that Naruto is not suitable to be my disciple. The skills of our Uchiha clan are basically in these eyes. There are not many things I can teach Naruto. I am also the secret art of super beast fake painting. I got it from one of Danzo’s subordinates, even if it’s not me, Naruto can learn it from other channels in the village, and besides, there is Jiraiya-senior you are here! I don’t have to do it for me.”

When the two were talking, they walked towards the street outside the park,
Itachi Uchiha and Junmaro followed behind.

"Senior Jiraiya, if I have nothing else to say, I will leave. I still need to report back to Hokage-sama regarding the fact that you have no intention of the fifth generation, senior." When he reached the side of the street, Zongxian stopped and said goodbye to Zilaiye.

"Please tell Senior Qufeng, I am really sorry for the delay."

Said so too.

Zong Xian smiled, and was about to get up to leave, but found an unexpected person approaching. On this street where there were not many pedestrians, Anbu wearing a fox face mask knelt in front of him on one knee, "Zong Xian Sir, there is an emergency, please go to the Hokage Building immediately."

Emergency situations?
The sudden change made Zong Xian a little confused. It was the war in the north that had changed. He thought in his heart and said, "I see, this will pass."

"Master Jiraiya, if you have time, Hokage-sama would also like to invite you to the Hokage Building."

"Eh? Is there still me?"

Zilai also scratched his head, hesitating.

He has self-knowledge. As a wandering vagrant, he doesn't have the shame to meddle in the big affairs of the village. This is why he doesn't meet Hokage-sama when he comes back to the village. Sooner or later, he will have to set off again of.

but,

He is a little embarrassed that he took so long to reply about the fifth generation purpose, and it seems that something big has happened. If the situation is serious, he can't really just sit back and ignore it. , His love for the village has never been less.

"All right!"

After a brief hesitation, Zilai also agreed, and then looked at Zong Xian again, "Mr. Zong Xian, it seems that I don't need to trouble you to speak."

"Senior Ziraiya, together?"

"Then let's go together."

Soxian and Jiraiya also hurried towards the Hokage Building. As for Uchiha Itachi and Kimomaro... continue to work, as newcomers to the police department, patrolling is their daily task.

----

Hokage building, changed the owner's office.

In Jiraiya's memory, Sarutobi-sensei was the first to sit here. At that time, Sarutobi-sensei was high-spirited and well-known in the ninja world. Hiruzen Sarutobi is not worthy of the courage of the title "Ninobi" at all.

Later, because of a series of incidents during World War Three, Sarutobi-sensei abdicated, and Jiraiya watched his favorite disciple enter the office. At that time, he firmly believed that his disciple, who was as warm as the sun in winter, would give The village brings a brighter future.

But who knew that the "yellow flash" really disappeared like a flash, Konoha's fourth Hokage died young, and the surviving third generation ascended to the throne again, and now the third generation has stepped down in a disgraceful way, And was humiliated and assassinated in prison by a traitor from Wuyin Village, this office has a new owner.

"Mr. Zongxian, you are here! And... Zilaiya."

Akimichi Takkaze was a bit surprised when he saw Jilai appearing with Zong Xian. Jilai had always made a choice that was out of the way. Speaking of Jiraiya, after all, he is such a powerful combat force who is not from the Uchiha clan.

"Finally willing to come see me!"

Akimichi Torukaze and Jiraiya are no strangers either. As Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, the well-known "Sannin" also fought under Akimichi Torukaze before growing up.

"Lord Hokage."

Jiraai also didn't hold back, and directly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry for the delay for such a long time, but please forgive me that I still can't take over the Fifth Hokage's seat."

"...Are you still refusing?"

Qiu Dao was taken aback for a moment, but he was not too surprised by the answer. After such a long delay, whether it was Zilai, he finally agreed or refused. refused,
Only in this way, the candidates for the Fifth Hokage became difficult again.

"My temperament is not suitable to be Hokage."

"That's it! In this way... Anbu can only step up efforts to find Tsunade!" Fifth Generation Acting Agent Hokage sighed, as if he had completely forgotten what Munezuru said just a few days ago Proposals made directly by him from agency to official.

"Hokage-sama, let's talk about the Fifth Hokage later, can you tell me what happened first?" Zong Xian interrupted Hokage-sama's remarks about looking for Tsunade, and set his target on the Sixth Hokage He didn't want to see the granddaughter of the first generation come back.

If Tsunade with good looks comes back, with the status of the granddaughter of the first Hokage, the disciple of the third Hokage, the founder and perfecter of the Konoha medical ninja system, and a little red among the dignified Konoha Sannin, it can be said that there is no one. Can compete with him for the position of Hokage, as long as she is interested in Hokage, even Yellow Flash will not be her opponent.

And this is a woman with tenacious and long vitality,

Even though Zong Xian is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he doesn't want to wait for another 20 or [-] years before competing for the sixth generation. Such a long waiting time is really tormenting.

"Ask Anbu to rush me and senior Jiraiya over here, did Yunin make any big moves? Could it be that Shisui and the others didn't block Yunin's attack?" Zong Xian cast his eyes on the person standing in the room while speaking. The other three are the squad leader of the ninja class, the head of the interrogation department, and the head of the Anbu.

Nara Shikahisa, the squad leader of the ninja class, is an acquaintance. The head of the interrogation department is a middle-aged woman with a cold and stiff face, Ryo Itoi. The life experience of this head of Itoi can be regarded as inspirational.

She has the most ordinary background, her parents are commoners, she refined the chakra because she had a little talent and entered the ninja school, but she relied on her own efforts to get the position of the deputy head of the interrogation department before the age of 30. Taking advantage of the downfall of the Third Hokage, he overthrew his immediate boss and removed the word "deputy" before the age of 35.

For this Deputy Minister Itoi, no, now Minister Itoi, Sozuru is no stranger, and the police department and the interrogation department also cooperate a lot. Although the Uchiha clan can use Sharingan to interrogate a lot of information, but Due to various circumstances, there is a lot of cooperation between the two departments.

As for the new minister who said Anbu codenamed 'Songzang'.

Seeing the not-so-unfamiliar Chakra breath, Zong Xian recognized the identity of the man hidden behind the mask, the third-in-command of [gen], second only to Shimura Danzo and Yuyue Ryoma, Yamanaka Masakazu from the Yamanaka clan , before, together with the woman who used the secret technique of super beast fake painting, he attacked Zong Xian, but Zong Xian was captured alive.

The death of Shimura Danzo and Younv Ryoma does not mean the demise of Gen. To be precise, because of their death, Gen has reintegrated into Anbu, and Yamanaka Masakazu was chosen by Akimichi to pick the general among the dwarfs because of his family background—— In the near future, he became the new minister of Anbu, and the former third-in-command of Reagan became one of Konoha's real high-level officials.

Fate change is so wonderful and interesting!
Zong Xian looked at the interesting combination in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder what happened on the front line. It's all right for the Anbu minister to be here, why is the interrogation department's minister also appearing here?
"It's not Yunin."

Akimichi Torokaze didn't talk about the Fifth Hokage. Although this matter is quite urgent, there is another more urgent matter right now, "It's Iwa Shinobi."

"Iwa Ninja?"

Zilai also frowned.

It is already quite difficult to deal with the northern cloud ninja's attack on Konoha. If Iwanin changes at this time, wouldn't Konoha have to fight on two fronts again?
"Has Iwagami gone south?" Zong Xian asked calmly. Compared with Jiraiya, who has been drifting away from the power center of the village, he actively moved closer to the power center and successfully made himself a member of the center. Shinobu's change is just something that must happen, the only question is when will it happen?
"Iwanin hasn't gone south yet, but it's about the same. The spy we placed in Iwanin sent back a secret report. Yunin and Iwanin have envoys to each other. The third Tsuchikage is ready to go south to attack us personally." Mention this This matter, Qiu Dao Fengfeng is also a headache.

Although this matter was expected long ago, it could not change Konoha's current problem of insufficient troops. It is already difficult enough to block Yunnin. At this time, there are still enough troops to fight Iwanin. At that time, Iwashin also suffered heavy losses. It should not be possible to mobilize too many troops, but no matter how you say it, it is more comfortable than Konoha who is fighting on two fronts.

"Onoki? That old guy's dust escape is quite tricky!"

Speaking of the old and strong third-generation Tsuchikage, he couldn't help showing a headache. He had also faced the third-generation dust in the past, and he still remembered the terrible destructive power. Power, enough to be compared with Tailed Beast Jade.

"Is Yannin going south? It's definitely not possible to rely on the border defense troops in the northeast, but the village...can't squeeze out more troops now, right?"

"The problem is not just that."

Qiu Dao took the wind to sigh, and he waved his hand, "Lu Jiu, please explain it!"

"not only that?"

Zong Xian raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and cast his eyes on Shikahisa Nara, waiting for the wise man from Nara's family to explain.

"The spies we placed in Yanyin Village were originally members of Gen." Nara Shikahisa said briefly, and then asked Zongxian a question, "Mr. Uchiha, have you ever heard of walking?" Miko?"

"Walking witch? Are you talking about our Konoha's legendary spy? Could it be that she is the spy lurking in Hidden Rock Village?"

Before Zong Xian could answer, Zi Lai answered in surprise.

Strictly speaking, being famous is not a good thing for a spy, it means that the enemy will focus on tracking down, but if he can hide his true identity while enjoying a great reputation, then this is undoubtedly a top spy. spy.

walking witch,
It is a legend among legends.

As a well-known legend of Konoha, she had such a name at the end of the Second Ninja War, but the enemy pursuers did not get any other intelligence name except for confirming her identity as a woman , age, and appearance are all a mystery.

Later, this witch was active in the intelligence community, wandering around Shayin Village, Yanyin Village, and Yunyin Village, and collected a lot of important information, which greatly helped the frontline war.

Without the activity of the spies represented by this miko, even if Konoha could win World War II and World War III, he would have to pay a heavier price.

"That's right, before Shimura Danzō was defeated, many spies including this walking priestess had been dispatched to Yanyin Village, this time the information was delivered by this priestess... " Having said that, Nara Shikahisa paused for two seconds, and then said: "But now, we suspect that the spies planted in Yanyin Village in the village may be exposed."

"Exposed?"

Zong Xian was puzzled, "Did our legendary horse stumble?"

"No, there is something wrong with the village." Nara Shikahisa smiled helplessly, "The root organization was disbanded some time ago, and the process of merging into Anbu was not without incident. A considerable number of Danzo's diehard elements made trouble. It’s not a small mess, the Uchiha patriarch should still have an impression, right?”

Zong Xian nodded slightly.

Nara Shikahisa continued: "The problem was at that time. The internal chaos at that time gave many spies in the villages a chance to fish in troubled waters. Iwanin's spies took advantage of the chaos to steal a share of the root organization that we placed in various villages. The list of spies... If Minister Itoi hadn’t tortured this piece of information from an Iwanin spy whose identity had been discovered, we probably wouldn’t have known about the leak of the list until now.”

"Can this kind of thing flow out? What does Anbu eat?"

Zong Xian couldn't help interrupting Nara Shikahisa's words.

The newly appointed Minister Anbu and Minister Itoi of the Interrogation Department stood there silently like wooden figures.

"The head of the Uchiha clan, strictly speaking Anbu was quite chaotic at that time." Nara Shikahisa explained helplessly, the Fifth Generation Acting Hokage did not follow the tradition to take over the throne, and it was not even a hasty succession after the ancestor's sudden death, but an overthrow The third generation seized power.

Even if there is a smooth succession, it is necessary to replace the administrative team. Naturally, Akimichi Tokfeng, who seized power, wanted to take over Anbu, the most important power department, in the shortest possible time. The unavoidable cleaning caused Anbu to fall into unavoidable chaos ······
"······I understand."

Zong Xian also spoke quickly, and soon he remembered the situation at that time. Because of the chaos in Anbu, the police department spent a lot of energy in order to maintain the order and stability of the village. He no longer pursued the past, and asked directly: "So, the walking priestess is likely to have been exposed under the eyes of Yan Ninja? It has been so many months?"

"Probably not yet."

Nara Shikahisa explained: "First of all, the walking miko can send back information to prove that she should not have been discovered by Iwa Shinobi. The list stolen by Iwa Shinobi is not complete, but as the saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, even if these spies are basically They are all one-way connections, but that can't be said to be truly safe... The walking witch herself sensed that the wind direction was wrong, and the information she sent back said that she would choose to flee in the near future, hoping that the village can be at the border. Accept."

"So, do you want to send someone to pick up this walking witch?"

"Yes."

The new head of Anbu nodded, "Even if you can't save the person alive, you must try to bring the corpse back. If you can't even recover the corpse, you must ensure that the corpse is completely destroyed and cannot be left to Iwanin. .”

These words are quite ruthless.

However, it is not difficult to understand. Even Zilai frowned unhappily when he heard these words, but he did not deny the correctness of these words. Not to mention being captured alive, even if it is just the corpse of a legendary spy. There are too many secrets hidden in the mind, and it must not fall into the hands of Iwanin.

"Save people or silence them?"

Zong Xian rubbed his brows, he didn't know much about this walking witch, even in the memory of his previous life, it was only a passing mention, but at least he remembered that this witch seemed to have died in the In the hands of Yaoshidou, which led to the blackening of Yaoshidou, he was bewitched by Orochimaru and joined his subordinates, becoming a small boss that Naruto and the others would face in the future.

Now that Shimura Danzo is finished, and the walking shrine maiden is still alive and well, it doesn't matter whether Yakushidou will go black or not!
Just a pharmacist pocket,

So what if it is invested in Orochimaru?Facing Orochimaru himself, Zongxian has no fear.

"I probably understand the matter, but Hokage-sama, you didn't come here because you wanted me to visit the land of earth, right?" Zong Xian looked again at the agent of the fifth generation who sat on the chair and was silent for a long time. Hokage, even such a small matter requires him to do something, he won't do it.

If he had to do everything by himself, why should he be the patriarch or minister?
"That's not so."

Qiu Dao took Feng waved his hand and quickly denied it.

"I want to meet the walking witches to form an elite team, so I want to ask Zongxian-kun for your opinion, and Iwanoshi is going south. We must raise troops as soon as possible and decide on the commander... "···" Qiudao Fengfeng couldn't help sighing.

This force is really difficult to raise!
Civilian ninjas can't be scratched anymore, Sarutobi, Shimura and other families are almost exhausted, and if they go on, they can only let the students of the ninja school graduate early, or continue to "scrape" people from other families in the village, Among other things, Hyuga, Uchiha, Yasuzuka, and Inokacho, these families can definitely mobilize another wave of troops.

at this point,
Qiudao Fengfeng himself knows it best!
After all, he is from the Qiudao clan.

"So that's the case, so you called Jiraiya-senpai here because you hoped that Jiraiya-senpai would be the commander of the war against Iwanin?" Zong Xian understood the reason why even Jiraiya was called here.
