Konoha's New Third Hokage

While everyone was still immersed in the shock caused by Hatake Sakumo's previous outburst, Mito Kadeni gathered his thoughts early and began the final round of the exam, because there were only three candidates left at this time, all of whom were Sarutobi Zan's students. No matter who it is, someone will be eliminated.

Jiraiya grasped the fence with both hands, watched Mitomon Yan slowly groping in the lottery box, his heartbeat seemed to follow his movements, he secretly glanced at the calm-faced Orochimaru, and prayed that he would follow Orochimaru duel.

Orochimaru is Sarutobi Zhan's most valued student. His thoughtfulness towards Orochimaru often makes Jiraiya jealous. Another point is that Orochimaru's god is always plain and indifferent, as if he doesn't take anything seriously. The look made Jiraiya feel very unhappy.

Jiraiya often imagined how he defeated Orochimaru so that he could no longer maintain his aura, how Sarutobi-sensei turned his attention to him, and how his teammate Akemi praised him, although these never happened. Happened in reality.

There were no ninjas in Orochimaru's ancestors, but he had extremely outstanding talents. He learned the qualitative transformation of two types of chakra at a young age. You must know that the qualitative transformation of chakra without shadow points as an aid, ordinary people at least It takes a year to learn, but he has already mastered two.

In Sarutobi Zhan's view, Orochimaru might be able to master the qualitative transformation of the five types of chakra like him. How could he not imprison a student who looked so much like him?

And Jiraiya is just an ordinary crane tail. Compared with Orochimaru, he is not as calm and smart as Orochimaru.However, he knows how to make up for his shortcomings through hard work. Although he often causes some jokes, such as the throwing shuriken technique that Sarutobi regarded as a black history, despite this, his strength is still increasing, slowly. Slowly catch up with those talented people.

Although there is still a big gap between him and Orochimaru, Jiraiya has his own trump card. When he asked Sarutobi Zhan to teach him a powerful ninjutsu, Sarutobi Zhan felt that it would be better to let Jiraiya learn a difficult ninjutsu. It is better to find helpers as assistance, so he taught him the art of channeling.

If you want to use psychic skills, you must sign a contract with a psychic beast. The psychic beast mainly lives in the secret realms that ordinary people cannot enter. These creatures have the same wisdom and powerful power as humans, so they are very suitable choice, but not everyone can meet.

The Sarutobi family signed a contract with the ape clan in their early years, and it has since become the inherited psychic beast of the Sarutobi family. Although Sarutobi Zhan is also very concerned about Jiraiya, it still requires him to sign his own psychic beast contract. Think about it.Maybe Jiraiya can be asked to sign a contract in the future, but for now it is better to let Jiraiya use a psychic beast that is not from the secret realm, but is specially trained by ninjas for combat.

However, when Sarutobi was thinking about which psychic beast to choose, Jiraiya, who didn't know the full extent of the psychic technique, used it, and was taken away by the technique.In the final analysis, the art of channeling is a kind of time and space ninjutsu. If you use it in the wrong way, it will cause time and space to move if you are not careful. If you are lucky, you may be left somewhere in the village. If you are not lucky, you may not know. Going to fly somewhere.

Sarutobi was stunned immediately. He didn't expect Jiraiya to be so impatient and didn't know what to do. It was not easy to find someone in the entire ninja continent.Just when he was discussing how to find it with his teacher who knew how to use time and space ninjutsu, Jiraiya returned to Konoha Ninja Village inexplicably. He asked about the past and found out that Jiraiya was sent to a secret realm called Mt. Miaomu. The toad creature living there thought it was fate between the two parties, so they signed a contract with them. Later, a toad who went out came to the vicinity of Konoha Ninja Village and used the technique of reverse psychic to call Jiraiya back.

Sarutobi Zhan had vaguely heard of Mt. Myoboku. It was said that this place was the inheritance of immortal magic. Jiraiya actually had such an opportunity.Knowing that Mount Myoki had such a background that he had arrived inexplicably, Jiraiya was extremely excited and asked Sarutobi not to tell anyone else about this, especially Orochimaru.

Sarutobi knew what Jiraiya was thinking, and after much thought, he agreed to keep this secret for Jiraiya and would not reveal it to Orochimaru and Akemi. In addition to studying under Sarutobi, Jiraiya also often went to Miao. Go to Mushan and learn the legendary magic.

Sarutobi Zan would not tell Orochimaru and Akemi, but he still revealed it to his teacher and classmates. Tobirama believed that this was an opportunity that belonged to Jiraiya, so he left it alone. He did not interfere much, but was a little worried. Can Jiraiya learn immortal magic?

An ancestor of the Sarutobi family also tried to find a secret realm and learn immortal magic, but he ended up being disabled and recuperated for many years before he could recover from the sequelae of practicing immortal magic. Sarutobi himself was not sure about the consequences of practicing immortal magic. If the opportunity is in front of you, will you learn it?

After Fengmori Masaki heard about this, he comforted Sarutobi Zhan. He felt that Jiraiya was a pure and emotional person, and the practice of immortal magic valued his experience. Perhaps, Jiraiya was very suitable for learning immortal magic.

This is what Feng Senzhenghui speculated based on his own experience. The immortal method must first let oneself feel the power of nature. Unless it is a real immortal body, ordinary people must practice hard to sense their own mental state. Make yourself forget yourself and become one with the earth.

This state pursues a pure and peaceful state of mind. With Jiraiya's purity, it is possible to approach this state. Masaki Fengmori feels that although Orochimaru is smarter than Jiraiya, he may not be that suitable.After all, the more a smart person thinks, the more troubles he will have, which is inconsistent with the state of mind pursued by the immortal method.

Later, Orochimaru found Ryūchi Cave, the place where immortal magic is inherited, but he was unable to withstand the power of immortal magic. Masaki Fengmori once thought it was caused by the mental loss and physical discomfort caused by the reincarnation of immortals, but he experienced it personally. After reaching the realm of Senfa, he felt that Orochimaru might be too obsessed with immortality that he could not achieve the state of mind pursued by Senfa.

The reason why Tsunade failed to learn immortal magic may be that she didn't want to learn it, or it may be that the grief of losing her brother and her lover made her lose the motivation to pursue that kind of state of mind.

The learners who are really suitable for immortal law should be the kind of pure "fools", not smart people with other thoughts.

As a classmate for many years, Sarutobi Zhan already knew about Fengmori Masaki's possession of immortal magic. Although he did not know the specific situation, as someone who successfully learned immortal magic, he must know more about this than himself, so he chose to believe Fengmori Masaki's method, praying that Jiraiya can truly learn the immortal method.

At this time, Jiraiya has not yet learned to enter the sage mode, but he has already started to get started. The Fukasaku sage of Mt. Myoboku believes that this is a good start. In time, Jiraiya may be able to truly practice the immortal method.But now, Jiraiya does not regard the sage mode as his trump card, but the psychic toad of Mt. Myoboku.

Come on, let me see what the choice is for the next round.

Just as Jiraiya was expecting, Mito Kadoyan glanced at the number plate he pulled out and said, "In the next round, Orochimaru vs. Akemi."

"Ha" Jiraiya was startled. He didn't expect that he would be the one who was given a bye.

"Am I following Orochimaru?" Minmei looked at Orochimaru hesitantly. Seeing that the other person's face was calm, she turned and walked down, becoming even more uneasy.

Akemi knows Orochimaru's strength, and he is excellent in physical, genjutsu and ninjutsu. It's important for people to know themselves. She knows that she can't beat Orochimaru.She didn't have the same winning mentality as Jiraiya. Knowing that she would lose, she didn't want to compete with her fellow students, so she directly raised her hands and shouted: "Teacher Yan, I admit defeat."

Orochimaru stopped and looked back at Minmei with a strange look in his eyes, as if he didn't expect the other party to make such a choice. Soon, the strangeness in his eyes disappeared and he turned back.

"Have you decided yet, Akemi?" Mito Kadoyan asked.

"Yeah." Mingmei nodded heavily.

"Hey, why do you have to admit defeat? Isn't it good to test your own strength?" Jiraiya looked at Akemi in confusion.

"If I want to fight Orochimaru, there is no need to be in this place. If it is a candidate from another ninja village, I might compete, but if the opponent is Orochimaru, forget it." Akemi smiled.

"A woman's heart is really difficult to understand." Jiraiya clasped his hands in front of him and shook his head, as if he had seen through something.

"That's right." Orochimaru unexpectedly agreed.

"Oh Orochimaru, you can actually say this, could it be you?" Jiraiya seemed to have discovered something new and came closer to Orochimaru.

"You're so annoying, Jiraiya." Orochimaru said expressionlessly.

"Compared to this, it's really unpleasant for you two to spare me. Isn't it better for me to give up the victory?" Mingmei smiled, but her tone carried a dangerous aura.

"No, no, it's not that interesting." Ji Lai also jumped up immediately, waving his hands again and again.

"Humph, it's true." Mingmei turned her head away from them.

"Mingmei's decision is actually in line with the principles of ninjas." Sarutobi Zhan came over at this time and smiled: "Although the battle of ninjas is not absolute, as long as the tactics are used rationally, it is possible for the weak to defeat the strong, but we ninjas We should not pursue such a miracle. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is because its occurrence is very rare. Unless it is necessary, the main thing is to give in. When fighting, the main thing is to bring the enemy back, and It’s not about betting on the possibility of your own victory.”

"But, this is not a battle, teacher, is my choice correct?" Seeing her teacher, Mingmei humbly asked for advice.

"Indeed, it's not a battle after all, and you two are from the same sect, so there's no harm in competing. But like Akemi, you can fight Orochimaru at any time, so it's a little unclear." Sarutobi Zhan said with a smile. : "In any case, Akemi's keen judgment on victory or defeat is actually a good thing. When facing the enemy, it can help you survive better. If it were Jiraiya, he would probably fight the opponent to death in one go. "

"Sarutobi-sensei, don't look at me." Jiraiya said dissatisfied, "I have completely memorized the ninja code that you punished me to copy."

"Really?" Sarutobi Zhan smiled and said, "Then why don't you wait until after the exam is over and I'll take a swipe?"

"Why will the exam be over soon?" Jiraiya asked curiously, not answering Sarutobi Zhan's question at all.

"Tsk." Sarutobi sighed in his heart at Jiraiya's smoothness, "In order to make the exam more exciting, we decided to start it in a month. Then the nobles will come to appreciate it. You must perform well."

"I see." Zilai nodded again and again, "In that case, we have to practice hard and not waste time on things that don't matter."

"What is a place that doesn't matter?" Sarutobi asked.

"It's just something that has nothing to do with practice." Jiraiya approached the railing, looking excited, "Anyway, I can't wait."

"I really don't know who I learned from." Sarutobi Zhan smiled and shook his head, "Maybe this guy won't necessarily fight the enemy to the end."

At this time, Mito Gate announced the results of the exam. The remaining candidates will begin the exam one month later, and the list of contestants for the duel was drawn at this moment. Representatives from various countries immediately understood the intention. It is for the candidates to carry out targeted training in the next month. The candidate information obtained from this preliminary selection will become a valuable report and can test the ability of the ninja.

I don’t know if it’s fate, but both Chike and Liu have been assigned the opponent they dreamed of. They are not very motivated to fight. In the next month, they will study the opponent’s retribution and practice, and for them The same is true for Yan's opponent.

Hanzo looked at the excitement of the advanced candidates and felt that the exams in the next month would be a grand event, but he could only be a bystander when all the students under his name were eliminated.

He patted the shoulders of the frustrated students and said, "Don't be disappointed. There will be a chance next time. Come back after training well. Of course, I think you are already qualified to serve as chuunin. If you are willing, you can give me a chance when you return." Recommended by the village.”

"Teacher, we decided to try again." One student hesitated and then said, and the other two also expressed that they would also take the Chunin Exam.

"Okay." Hanzo smiled happily. Competing with these candidates from major countries seems to have opened up a narrow vision and mind for his students. If they can really get good results, they can also become quite good in the Amegakure Ninja Village. An excellent chuunin.
