The Hero Story of Konoha no Spring Wild Sakura

Chapter 503 Some inside stories divert the topic

After hearing the words of the third generation, Zilai also fell silent. He didn't expect that his escape would have such a chain effect...

"Sorry... old man... I... I am... I left Konoha under the pretext of chasing Orochimaru because I don't want to see death and war anymore..."

"Ah..." Hearing that Zilai also apologized to him, Sandai sighed silently again, "No, it's all because I didn't do well enough, to blame my disciples for my faults...it's really embarrassing. "

Jilai also firmly affirmed, "No! Teacher Sarutobi, you will always be the most handsome in my heart!"

"Hehe, he's actually not that handsome." Sandai chuckled, accepting Jiraiya's compliment...

"However." Jiraiya changed the subject and asked Midai, "Did you just say that Hatake Sakumo's suicide was unexpected by you and Danzo?"

"Uh...I...Have I ever said such a thing?" San Dai wanted to slap himself a few big mouths at this time, why would he say everything outside when his brain became hot and his blood pressure rose!
Why don't you go back and buy some antihypertensive medicine...

Jilai didn't say a word, he just stared at the third generation without moving.

"Alas..." After a while, Sandai sighed again, he didn't know how much he sighed, "Sakumo Hatake's death... I really have an inescapable responsibility..."

Jirai did not speak, but silently waited for Sandai's next words.

"At that time, I already had the idea of ​​wanting to step down from the position of Hokage, and basically only Sakumo and the three of you were qualified to take over as the fourth Hokage."

"Of course, there is also Danzo. He has always wanted to be Hokage, so in order to eliminate a potential opponent, he took advantage of the opportunity when Sakumo gave up the mission to rescue his teammates and launched a public opinion offensive against him."

"Of course... After a series of exchange of interests with me..." This sentence has not been uttered for three generations. No matter how old and confused he is, he still knows what to say and what not to say.

"At the same time, I also think that Hatake Sakumo's character is not suitable for Hokage. He is too emotional, so he acquiesced in Danzo's behavior, but we didn't expect that Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide because of public opinion. ..."

The third generation shook his head, and then continued, "His loss is immeasurable to Konoha. If we had known that the matter would be so serious, we would not have taken such actions..."

The period when Hatake Sakumo committed suicide was during the Third World War. Losing this general in the war was an unacceptable loss for any village.

However, the reason why the third generation would allow Danzo to target Hatake Sakumo is actually more than that.

Although the Hatake family has a long history and is powerful, their population is not prosperous, so they have no way to become a large family like Uchiha and Hinata.

But precisely because of this, a large number of small and medium-sized families gathered around him, and the Hatake family seemed to be the leader of Konoha's small and medium-sized families.

Of course, these small and medium-sized families gather around Sakumo Hatake for the sole purpose of gaining benefits. After Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, we can know that no family gathered around Sakumo Kakashi anymore. up.

And it is precisely because of this that once Hatake Sushige becomes Hokage, then he will definitely start to benefit from the small and medium-sized families that support him.

This kind of thing is absolutely unavoidable. For example, the three generations, the Inokacho clan, as his confidantes, have jumped from a small and medium-sized family to the third largest group after Hinata and Uchiha.

However, Konoha's interests have already been allocated. The rise of one family must be accompanied by the decline of another family. Even the rise of the three clans of Inoka and Butterfly did not happen in an instant. It took nearly 20 years for the three generations. Time allowed them to silently develop to this level.

But if Hatake Sakumo is in power, three generations can already foresee conflicts and disputes between Konoha's big family and small and medium families.

So even for the stability of Konoha, the third generation cannot let Hatake Sakumo become Hokage.

Also, that's why he chose the rootless civilian ninja Minato Namikaze to become the Fourth Hokage, because he wouldn't disturb Konoha's existing balance of power.

Moreover, if any commoner family really develops with the support of Namikaze Minato, then its influence will be far lower than the confrontation between small and medium-sized families and large families.

The original intention of the first generation of Hokage to gather a large number of families to jointly establish Konoha is of course good, but what he did not expect is that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Konoha has experienced decades since the establishment of the village. Many families in Yeyin Village also disappeared. Did they all die out naturally?

Of course not, Konoha's cake is too small, and there are too many people, so it is everyone's common idea to let those who look weaker exit first.

It's just that some people don't know that they are in the eyes of others...

Also the guy who looks weaker...

"Is that so... because of this..." Jilai also nodded. Hatake Sakumo's suicide was beyond everyone's expectations. He even thought that Sakumo did not commit suicide but homicide. , He also investigated for a while, but he didn't find anything.

But now it seems that Shuo Mao was indeed forced to death by public opinion...

Jiraiya smiled wryly, then shook his head again. It is a big joke that a ninja with such strength would die under the attack of public opinion...

"Even so... this matter... you did something wrong."

"I know I know…"

The two were silent for a while, and after a while, Jilai also broke the silence first, "Speaking of which, how is the progress of your clone?"

Jilai also raised his head and looked at the row of petri dishes in the back. Three generations were wrong in this matter, but he was not wrong. At the time when the debate of "the task is more important or the companion is more important" was at its most intense, He also didn't stand up to give Shuo Mao enough support. In that case, what right does he have to criticize the third generation now?

When the third generation heard Jiraiya's question, he breathed a sigh of relief silently. Anyway, he had fooled Jiraiya this time.

It doesn't matter whether he himself dies or not. He has lived for 70 years and has seen all the glory of the world. He has already made preparations to go down to the underworld to make up for the wrong things he has done these years. .

But Konoha can't bear the blow of losing Jiraiya again now. The ninja world war is about to break out, and Konoha has once again become the target of public criticism, so every battle power now is very precious.

Sandai can't be said to be a good person, nor can he be said to be a bad person, but he is definitely the one who thinks about Konoha the most.

"Clone? With the help of Tsunade, after these days of experiments, it is almost ready. I will start cultivating my own clone in a few days, and then I will start the experiment of reincarnation in about a month. , If I fail at that time, I still have some time to adjust, and generally speaking, there is no big problem."

Jilai also nodded, "It's better if you're okay, Konoha still can't do without you."

"Hehe, there is no one who can't live without someone. Even a baby bird has to spread its wings and fly high. I will die sooner or later. It is impossible to take care of Konoha all the time. The next generation... is the master of Konoha."

"However, if that number can be completed, it seems that you can't even want to die." Jiraiya pointed the petri dish in front of them with his finger. I am immortal, although I don't know if this ninjutsu can really make people immortal, but at least from the current situation, there is no problem for people who use Undead Reincarnation to live for hundreds of years...

"Hehe, that's what you said." Midai didn't refute Jiraiya's words, and if Konoha Mirai really encountered any crisis, he wouldn't be able to stand idly by.

The third generation suddenly turned his head and said to Jiraiya, "By the way, Jiraiya, if there is nothing wrong, you should not stay here any longer. Tsunade will start to worry about the ones on the border recently. Hair is gone, since you are free, why don't you help her, don't look at me, an old man, here anymore."

Ji Lai also said to the third generation with an aggrieved face, "Old man, you have misunderstood me. I haven't just been here in a daze for a while, I have been practicing how to activate the fairy mode by myself. ah."

"Immortal mode?" Sandai asked a little puzzled, he really didn't have a deep understanding of fairy art, "Is it the one you used last time? Isn't it ready for you to use it? Why are you still practicing?" ?”

"The sage mode I used before can only be performed with the assistance of two sages, Fukasaku and Shima... But this speed is too slow, so I am now practicing how to quickly activate the sage mode alone." Jiraiya finished. Then he took a silent look at the third generation. If he had been able to activate the fairy mode faster last time, then the third generation would not have become what it is now.

"Then it's up to you." Midai waved his hand at Jiraiya, "Anyway, don't blame Tsunade for not helping her later."

"Hehe, no, I've discussed it with Tsunade a long time ago, and I'll take care of it during this time..." Uh... Ziraiya slipped his mouth inadvertently...

The third generation smiled at Zilai and shook his head, "You guys..."

What else could he say, so he had to frankly accept the concern from the younger generation.

However, regarding the previous debate, Sandai did not convince Jiraiya, and Jiraiya also did not convince Sandai. They were just distracted by the matter of Hatake Sakumo.
