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

Chapter 190 190. The Great Immortal has long lost the ability to predict

After receiving the authorization from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Jiraiya officially became the Fifth Hokage.

After becoming Hokage, he was assigned more work than Jiraiya imagined. Even if the internal affairs were outsourced to Tsunade, various high-level commissions and military intelligence made it difficult for Jiraiya to leave the Hokage Building to relax.

Fortunately, with the help of two consultant elders, Jiraiya was not kidnapped by work in the Hokage's office.

After dealing with a mountain of official business, Jiraiya and Tsunade began to discuss the future reform of the village. The reference object was the country of Uzumaki across the sea, but the specific situation must be analyzed in detail.

Due to the wealth of the Fire Country and the large number of ninjas in Konoha Ninja Village, there is no need to reform the economy and education for the time being.

Currently, there are only two major departments, Anbu and Genbu, that need to be reformed immediately. The former still needs to exist. Although it is nominally the training department of Anbu, it has actually become Danzo's private army.

The act of secretly collecting war orphans to train dead soldiers and then letting them fight each other completely goes against the will of fire.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade said: "My opinion is that part of the teaching model of the root can be retained, but the training program of cannibalism must be abandoned. ANBU ninjas are not tools, but companions responsible for the dark side."

Jiraiya nodded, agreeing with Tsunade's idea.

The ANBU was a special force that carried out secret activities when it was first established. It was itself the dark side of the village, but the existence of the roots made the ANBU almost become an Mingbu, seriously lowering the lower limit of ninjas.

After the two discussed it, they issued an order for rectification to the ANBU.

As a department directly under the Hokage, the ANBU's reform is proceeding smoothly, and it won't take long for it to become a brand new ANBU.

But in other aspects of reform, Jiraiya and Tsunade did not go smoothly. They encountered almost the same problems as the first three generations. Not only the ninja clan, but also most civilian jounin opposed the content of the reform.

But unlike the Third Hokage, Jiraiya forced himself to carry out reforms under pressure.

After formulating the development plan for Konoha in the next few years, Tsunade took out the experimental projects compiled by Anbu. The source of these projects was the root laboratory, and some of them were already very complete.

Jiraiya looked at the experimental projects, and the one on top was the Wood Release Experiment Plan.

The wooden escape experimental plan was carried out more than ten years ago. At that time, except for Tsunade who felt that it was an insult to the first Hokage, most of the senior officials were in favor of the wooden escape plan.

Once the Wood Release Plan is successful, it will not only be able to train Wood Release Blood Ninjas in batches, but also greatly boost morale.

It is also for this reason that countless ninjas volunteered to participate in the Wooden Release Project, but none of them successfully transplanted the Wooden Release Blood Successor. They all died tragically in the laboratory, and the plan was completely banned.

When Orochimaru defected to the village, he captured ninjas and civilians in the Land of Fire for experiments without authorization, which violated the taboos of the Konoha Ninja Village, so he was kicked out of Konoha.

At this time, Tsunade said in a faint tone: "Jiraiya, I plan to restart the wood escape experimental plan."

Jiraiya frowned, he couldn't understand that Tsunade, who was the most opposed to the Wood Release Plan at the beginning, actually wanted to restart the Wood Release Plan.

Tsunade explained with a serious face: "I started the Wood Release Project not for the sake of the Wood Release Bloodline Limit, but for the Wood Release's super regenerative ability. Grandpa's cells can clone limbs, so that those who have suffered cruel injuries can obtain prosthetic bodies. "

After hearing this, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, but still said: "If we are doing research on wood escape, there is actually a wood escape blood successor ninja in the village. His name is Tenzo and he is currently serving in the Anbu."

"It's just that, according to Kakashi, Wood Release is a good Blood Succession Limit, but it's not as strong as imagined."

"The reason why the First Generation Master was able to sweep across all countries was because the First Generation Master himself was powerful, not just because of Mu Dun. You'd better not have too high expectations."

Tsunade snorted coldly: "I had no intention of creating an artificial limit for blood successors."

…

Enjoying the feeling of arguing with Tsunade, Jiraiya left the Hokage's office and planned to run to a room away from Tsunade to use the telescope technique to collect materials for novel creation.

As soon as he entered the secret room, Jiraiya felt something in his heart and used the psychic technique.

After a burst of white smoke dissipated, the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima appeared on the floor, then jumped on the table, stared at Jiraiya and said: "Little Jiraiya, congratulations on becoming the Fifth Hokage."

"The position of Hokage means to me..."

Just as Jiraiya was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima.

I was too busy these days to pass the news to Myobokuzan. How did Myobokuzan know that he had become Hokage? And judging from Fukasaku Sennin's expression, it seemed that he had already known that he would become Hokage.

Seemingly guessing Jiraiya's thoughts, Shima patted Fukasaku on the head: "Old man, you still haven't apologized to little Jiraiya."

Fukasaku Sage scratched his head and said: "Little Jiraiya, actually I knew you would become Hokage a year ago. The Great Toad Sage told me his prediction, but I was thinking about whether to tell you or not."

"Did the Great Immortal know that I would become Hokage a year ago?"

Jiraiya's eyes were filled with shock, but he soon felt a little bit scared and didn't know what to say.

Since more than 20 years ago, he has always believed in the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage and believed that the son of prophecy would really appear in the ninja world. Under the leadership of the son of prophecy, the ninja world would finally move towards long-term peace.

But repeated failures told him that the son of prophecy would also die.

After meeting Naruto, Naruto rejected his teachings, which made him change his mind and came up with the idea that there is no child of prophecy in the ninja world. The original intention of the Great Sage should be that everyone has the hope of becoming a child of prophecy.

The prophecy of the Great Toad Sage is to tell the ninja not to give up on the son of the prophecy and not to give up hope.

But when he accepted the reality, refused to escape, and became the ninja world that the Fifth Hokage wanted to change, Fukasaku Sage told him that the Great Toad Sage knew that he would become Hokage as early as a year or even earlier.

This gave him a sense of fate, as if a pair of big hands were controlling his destiny.

What makes Jiraiya feel even more weird is that if he hadn't become Hokage and made up his mind not to escape anymore, he would have thought all of this was natural.

After retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Jiraiya returned to his previous unruliness and said with a smile: "Fukasaku Sage, does the Great Sage have any other prophecies?"

Fukasaku Sage shook his head: "After predicting that you will become Hokage, the Great Sage will have no other predictions."
