Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

After the Night of the Kyuubi, what happened in Konoha quickly spread throughout the ninja world, causing shock to the entire ninja world.

At the same time, some people were secretly happy in their hearts. They were happy that Konoha had been weakened again. The main representatives were the Cloud Ninja Village and the Suna Ninja Village.They also started making small moves at the border.

The Third Hokage did not directly announce the information about the masked man that he had previously received from Mizama, and did not even tell the other senior officials of Konoha.

He has been secretly investigating the Uchiha clan recently, intending to confirm the information Minato said.

After Jiraiya heard the news, he quickly used the communication toad left in Konoha and used the counter-channeling technique to return to Konoha. That was before the Jonin meeting.

The Third Hokage met Jiraiya again and hoped that he could serve as the Fifth Hokage. However, Jiraiya was not willing to get involved in the vortex of the high-level struggle in Konoha and rejected the proposal of the Third Hokage.

Jiraiya temporarily stayed in Konoha because the Third Hokage needed his help to stabilize the situation in Konoha.

What Minama didn't know was that Jiraiya was actually present at the funeral before, but he was watching from a distance.

He even went to the nursery to see Naruto many times.

He also looked at Mizama from a distance, but Mizama didn't notice it at that time.

No, on the day after the funeral, the Third Hokage, who was so confused, finally sorted out the matters at hand and could have a good talk with his apprentice.

He then told Jiraiya exactly what he had said to Mizama.

"You mean that little guy has awakened the Wood Release?" Jiraiya looked in disbelief.

"Yes, according to our tests, he should have awakened not long ago, but he told me that he had it when he was five years old. It can be seen that he is deeply wary of me.

It was probably the words Minato told him before he died that made him distrust the village's senior officials, including me. "

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of cigarette and then said.

"Old man, I'm not interested in your high-level fights.

However, if I really find out that someone at the top has betrayed Minato, I will definitely clean up the door for Konoha.

We need to investigate the matter of the masked man carefully, Wood Release and Sharingan. It seems that the ninja world is very uneasy.

Also, what are your plans regarding Mizama and Naruto. "

“I’ve also been looking into leaks recently, but there are no clues.

Regarding the masked man, I have also checked, and it is true that the Uchiha clan does not have any clan members with wood release and mangekyou.

As for the two children left behind by the fourth generation, I will personally teach Mizuma. Naruto will go to the orphanage. When Mizama can protect himself and Naruto, I will let him raise Naruto himself.

I promise you that I will take good care of these two children. "

"I want to take Naruto and Mizama on a trip together and take care of these two children."

Jiraiya directly expressed his inner thoughts.

"Impossible, I think you all understand how important it is to the village, whether it's the Wood Release or the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Even if I agree, the other senior executives will not agree.

But if you are willing to be the fifth generation, then you can take better care of them. "

Sarutobi Hiizhan said lightly.

"I have no interest in becoming the fifth generation." Jiraiya said seriously.

"Do you think the child of prophecy will be that little guy from Mizama?" Jiraiya suddenly asked.

"It's possible. After all, since the First Hokage, he is the only one who has awakened the Wood Release. The Uzumaki clan is a distant relative of the Senju clan. There may be some connection between them."

"It seems that I still have to go to Miaomu Mountain and ask the Great Toad Immortal."

The master and apprentice said some other things about the village, and then Jiraiya said goodbye and left.

. . . . . . .

Since that conversation, the third generation never talked to Mizama again, nor did he talk about going to ANBU.

Mizama was naturally happy to have some free time. Apart from going to see Naruto, he was just doing some training and preparing to start practicing according to his own training plan.

Around noon, Mizama walked out of the forest and prepared to have lunch.

"Hey, Mizama, long time no see." Jiraiya's voice sounded next to him.

He has been here for a while and has been observing Mizama in the dark.

In fact, Mizama had discovered him a long time ago, because recently he discovered that he had a new ability, the ability to perceive.

Although it has not been developed much, it is still possible to roughly sense the relatively close chakra.

"Master Jiraiya, have you returned to Konoha? You should have been back for a few days." There was some complaint in Mizama's tone.

"Ah, I've been back for a few days, and I've already visited Naruto. He's a very active kid."

"How was the discussion with the third generation?" Mizama asked directly.

"You know I'm going to talk to the Sandai about you know what" Jiraiya was a little surprised.

"It's hard to guess that when you received the news of my parents' death on the night of the Nine-Tails, you would definitely return to Konoha as soon as possible.

Considering the spread of the news, it's been at least three days since you've been back.The reason why you didn't show up was probably because you were helping Sandai handle some things.

You should have even seen me and Naruto's situation from a distance, so you are not in a hurry to see me.

As for now, you should have finished talking to the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage is definitely not willing to hand me and Naruto over to you unless he becomes the fifth generation.I guessed it right.

And the third generation should have told you all the conversations I had with him. "

Mizama looked at Jiraiya with a slight smile.

"I have to say that you really surprised me. Your sensitivity is indeed a bit like Minato's."

Jiraiya said with real appreciation.

"Actually, this is not difficult to guess. After all, there are not many people that Sandai can trust and can give him some opinions.

And you're definitely not looking for me to reminisce about old times. Tell me, what's the matter?

Let me explain first that if it's for comfort or something, there's no need for it. I'm no longer a child, you should have noticed. "

Mizama directly stated his purpose of coming.

"I think you may be the child of the prophecy, and I want to take you to Mt. Miaomu to show the Great Toad Sage." Jiraiya was not sloppy.

"Haha, you must have made a mistake. I can tell you clearly that the child of prophecy is Naruto. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Great Toad Sage. But it is definitely not me." Mizama said seriously. He did not lie to Jiraiya. .

"Oh, why do you say that?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"That night, at least that's what my father thought, so he chose to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto. I'm willing to trust his judgment." Mizama said half-truthfully.

"Naruto is still a baby, and no one can predict its future.

But you are different. With Uzumaki bloodline and awakened Wood Release, you might really be able to change the world, just like I once thought the other person could. "

"You are talking about Nagato, right? I heard my father say that he is a member of my race and has the Samsara Eye, but what happened?

If Master Jiraiya really wants to take me to see it, that's fine. I happen to be very curious about Mt. Myoboku. "

"You're such a brat... Why haven't I noticed you like this before?" Jiraiya also teased.

"That's because I am no longer myself. Master Jiraiya, you have delayed me for so long, shouldn't you treat me to a bowl of ramen to compensate me?"

Minato planned to kill a fat sheep and save some money for himself. Although he inherited the inheritance of Minato and Kushina, he couldn't bear to keep sitting on nothing.

"Haha, let's go, I haven't been to Ichiraku Ramen for a long time."

The two of them walked towards Ichiraku. Jiraiya had a bold personality and didn't care much about small details, so the two of them got along quite happily.

Soon they arrived on the streets of Konoha. When they saw Mizama, he was still as unfriendly and hostile as before. Even if they knew that he was the son of the fourth generation, it had not changed.But Mizama didn't care.

Jiraiya had been observing Mizama from the side, and found that no matter what other people looked at him, Mizama really didn't care, that is, he directly ignored the eyes of the people around him.

This made him a little more curious about Mizama, and he even vaguely confirmed that he might be the child of prophecy.

Soon, after slaughtering Jiraiya, the fat sheep, the two of them went to help Naruto buy some supplies to send over. Naturally, they asked Jiraiya to reimburse him. He was not short of the money and was happy to pay it. One wish Fight and suffer.

During the whole process of getting along, the two got along very well. Even when Mizama asked to be called teacher instead of master, Jiraiya did not object.

When they separated, he asked Mizama to wait for his notification, and then left anxiously.

Mizama probably either went to collect materials, or went to Miaomu Mountain to make an appointment with the Great Toad Sage.
