I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 127 127. Jiraiya’s confusion

"Jiraiya, I need an explanation."

After hearing what the Third Hokage said, Jiraiya sighed inwardly, feeling a little disappointed in his teacher.

It was certainly wrong for Naruto to leave the village and establish a Ninja Village in the Land of Whirlpool, but the reason behind it was the Third Hokage's indifference and allowing the villagers to maliciously slander Naruto, which ultimately led to Naruto's defection.

And Naruto's behavior of establishing a Ninja Village is more like creating an ideal hometown in his mind.

This is not an extremely disappointing behavior for Hokage, but the old man doesn't seem to realize this yet.

After sighing, Jiraiya explained: "I tried to persuade Naruto, but Naruto's attitude was very tough, and he even threatened me with the village to leave. Compared to the jinchuriki of the village, he seemed more willing to serve as the leader of Uzushio Village. leader……"

After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "Old man, I wonder if it would be better if you went there in person. After all, there are some things that cannot be done for you."

Leave the village?

The Third Hokage hesitated, then shook his head slightly.

He could not leave Konoha, at least not until he had chosen an heir. If he died outside, the village would fall into unprecedented civil strife.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya gave up the idea of ​​persuasion, and immediately mentioned the Uchiha in the Country of Whirlpool, and requested that the wanted Uchiha in the Country of Whirlpool be dropped.

Regarding this point, the Third Hokage neither agreed nor objected.

The ambiguous attitude made Jiraiya a little frustrated. He seemed to have accomplished none of the things he promised to Naruto. The old man had been hesitant on major matters and could not make a decision quickly.

Skipping the topic of Uchiha, Jiraiya brought up the topic of Orochimaru, and also mentioned the third-generation Kazekage puppet and Scorpion. According to his inference, the puppet master was probably the genius puppet master of Sunagakure who disappeared together that year. Red sand scorpion.

After involving the Kazekage Puppet and the Red Sand Scorpion, the Third Hokage regained his decisiveness, and then asked about the relevant details in detail. After learning that Orochimaru might join a certain force, he sighed softly.

…

The report lasted for half an hour, and Jiraiya left the Hokage's office with a complicated mood.

When he returned to the village several times before, he felt that the Third Hokage just looked a little tired, but his judgment as a shinobi hero was still there, but after returning this time, he completely felt that the Third Hokage was old and inadequate.

In a sense, it can even be called stupid.

Can such a teacher really lead the big ship of Konoha if he stays in the position of Hokage? Should the village choose a new Hokage?

The performance of the third generation teacher was not even as good as Naruto. Naruto even dared to threaten himself in order to establish Uzushio Village.

But the third generation teacher didn't even dare to go out of the village, and kept making excuses.

After walking out of the Hokage Building, Jiraiya was suddenly a little confused. He didn't know what to do next. Should he continue to carry out the mission assigned by the third generation teacher, or should he leave the village and continue looking for the Son of Prophecy?

The tasks of the third generation teachers are endless. No matter how many tasks they perform, the teachers will not regain their youth.

And he has found the child of prophecy, and if nothing else goes wrong, it should be Naruto, but Naruto does not need his guidance, and the son of prophecy does not belong to Konoha.

When Naruto fully grows up, will Konoha become a stumbling block for the Child of Prophecy?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya suddenly felt a little scared and wanted to run to Miaomu Mountain immediately to find the Great Toad Immortal. Only the Great Toad Immortal could guide him to the future and know what to do in the future.

At this moment, Danzo, wrapped in bandages, appeared in Jiraiya's field of vision.

After seeing Jiraiya, Danzo slowly stopped, looked at the former and said, "Jiraiya, the mission to bring back the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki failed?"

Jiraiya glanced at Danzo, then nodded slightly.

Danzo had expected it, and snorted coldly before saying: "It's not your fault, it's Sarutobi who indulged the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki too much. If the Jinchuuriki had been trained by the root, he would have become a weapon to protect the village long ago, and the tool would be You have to have a tool awareness.”

Danzo's words made Jiraiya very uncomfortable. He had always hated the leader of the root organization hidden in the darkness.

Many actions of the Root organization went against the will of fire, but the Third Hokage has always protected the Root. If not for the actions of the Root that were beneficial to the village, he would have turned against him long ago.

After passing by, Danzo went straight to the Hokage's office and opened the door.

The strong smell of smoke made Danzo frown, and then he said with an ugly face: "I heard that Jiraiya found the whereabouts of the Uchiha. The remnants of the Uchiha built a village in the Kingdom of Uzumaki, and they also offered a Uzumaki ninja. As a leader?"

Hearing this, the Third Hokage raised his eyes and stared at Danzo, wondering: "Did you get the news from Jiraiya?"

Danzo shook his head slightly: "Of course not, it was my men who obtained information on the black market. Although those Uchihas are hiding, they still need to purchase supplies. It is not difficult to find their traces."

"However, I just met Jiraiya. He was in a bad mood? Did he not find the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"

The Third Hokage stared at Danzo for a while and asked, "Did your men find out the identity of the leader of Uzushio Village? Or is it that your information did not come from the black market, but came from someone else?"

"The identity of the leader of Uzushio Village? Is his identity very special? Who is he?"

Danzo was a little confused. Could it be that Orochimaru didn't give him complete information?

After seeing that Danzo knew nothing about the identity of the leader of Uzushio Village, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately:

"You don't need to know the identity of the leader of Uzushio Village, and the Uchiha of Uzumaki Country don't need to pay attention to it for the time being. The ANBU and the roots have more important things to do."

"Sit back and ignore those Uchiha remnants?"

Danzo's expression was gloomy, but the village really didn't have the energy to hunt down the remnants of the Uchiha.

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, and then handed the part of Jiraiya's report about Orochimaru and Scorpion to Danzo.

After seeing the appearance of the Third Kazekage puppet, Danzo seemed to remember something and looked ugly: "Orochimaru and the Red Sand Scorpion teamed up together. Do you suspect that they have joined the force of the masked man?"

"It's not doubtful, it's almost confirmed that they have joined the masked man's forces."

At this point, the Third Hokage stared at Danzo with stern eyes, and then said: "So, compared to the insignificant remnants of UUchiha, it is more important to investigate this mysterious organization, and the root of this task should be up to the task."

Danzo also put forward corresponding conditions: "The root department is currently short of manpower... more funds are needed."

"I will increase the budget of the root. If you are short of manpower, you can choose among the chunin, but you can no longer interfere in the village's affairs. You have gone too far in Uchiha matters."
