Naruto's strongest wooden escape

"I understand, teacher." Seeing that Uchiha Matsuri was in a bad mood, Metkai said nothing more.

The news that Kato Dan's team was killed in battle spread back to Konoha.

Not only the Third Hokage and Tsunade, thousands of civilians in Konoha spontaneously took to the streets to mourn the four Kato Danki who died in the battle.

After receiving the news of Kato Dan's death in battle, Tsunade Hime refused to eat or drink for several days and locked herself in Konoha Hospital all day long, unwilling to go out.

In the past few days, the only time Tsunade showed up was when she was performing the funeral for Kato Dan and four others in front of Kato Dan's memorial monument.

After seeing Tsunade's negative mood, the Third Hokage gave up his plan to send Tsunade to the front lines to rescue injured ninjas.

front.

War is about to break out, and whether it is the Konoha camp or the Kumogakure camp, there is a lingering atmosphere of war.

Inside the Third Raikage's camp.

The Third Raikage was sitting in the middle. Standing on both sides were Ai, the Third Hokage's son, and Ai's younger brother, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Rabbi.

"Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle. Ai, Bi, whether you two can become famous in one battle depends on your performance tomorrow." The Third Raikage said.

Although the two of them did not complete the characters they assigned, Otoi, the senior leader of Kumogakure and the one who took the lead in opposing Ai's succession to the Raikage position, also died in the mission a few days ago.

Therefore, Ai now has no competitors or stumbling blocks on the road to the Raikage.

As for Ai, what he needs to do most now is to highlight his strong strength in the war and use facts to prove the legitimacy of his "Raikage Candidate".

Inside the Konoha tent.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya analyzed the current situation.

"In this war, if we can defeat the Kumo ninja, many jounin, including Minato and Matsuri, will be awarded the title of 'elite jounin'." After carefully discussing the tactics, Jiraiya stretched his body. , said with emotion.

Whether it is Namikaze Minato or Uchiha Matsuri, their true strength has already reached that of an elite Jonin.

What the two lack, like Ai, is an opportunity to express themselves.

With the opportunity and stage, with the strength of the two of them, not to mention shocking the ninja world, they can at least become somewhat famous in the ninja world.

"Jiraiya, it seems that your focus has always been on your two disciples." Orochimaru said playfully.

What Orochimaru didn't know was that when Jiraiya was a child, he went to Mt. Myoboku to practice immortality, and the Great Toad Sage once told Jiraiya about the "Child of Prophecy".

Therefore, whether it is Nagato, Yahiko, Namikaze Minato, or Uchiha Matsuri, they have all been or are being paid close attention to by Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, you also know that although Konoha has a lot of talent reserves, the number of people who can get the position of Hokage can be counted on one hand." Jiraiya said seemingly unintentionally, but actually he meant it, "To be honest, we These disciples of Sarutobi-sensei are the ones closest to the position of Hokage."

"Tsunade and I have no intention of becoming Hokage. In this case, the one who has the best chance of becoming Hokage is you, the teacher's favorite disciple."

"After you, the two guys who have the best chance of becoming Hokage are Minato and Matsuri..."

After hearing what Jiraiya said, Orochimaru immediately became wary: "Jiraiya, what exactly do you want to express?"

"Hahaha." Jiraiya laughed.

<

"I just want to ask you, who is closer to the position of Hokage, Minato or Matsuri." At this point, Jiraiya became serious.

"You can't see such a simple thing?"

Orochimaru's words made Jiraiya startled.

"Maybe you've seen some clues?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"Uchiha Matsuri will never become Hokage." Orochimaru emphasized coldly.

"Why is this?" Jiraiya frowned.

From Jiraiya's point of view, both Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Matsuri have great hopes of becoming the Hokage.

Therefore, Jiraiya would not agree with Orochimaru's point of view, at least until Orochimaru explained the reason.

"Because he is from the Uchiha clan." Orochimaru's hoarse voice reminded Jiraiya.

"What about the Uchiha clan?" Jiraiya asked, "He grew up next to me, and he has no connection or contact with the Uchiha clan."

"This is just your idea." Orochimaru reminded again, "Those old guys at the top will not think so! Even Mr. Sarutobi probably doesn't think so, right?!"

After that, Orochimaru picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled Jiraiya's and his own glasses with sake.

"Orochimaru, what do you mean?" Hearing this, Jiraiya said slightly dissatisfied, "Sarutobi-sensei has asked me this question twice. It can be seen that in the eyes of the teacher, Matsuri and Minato are not What a difference."

"Oh? The old man has asked you this before?" Orochimaru's eyes flashed with anger and murderous intent.

"That's right." Jiraiya nodded without noticing the change in Orochimaru's mood.

"Jiraiya, you are too naive." Orochimaru shook his head, and his eyes when looking at Jiraiya changed subtly, "Do you think Sarutobi-sensei has considered Uchiha Matsuri as Hokage from the beginning? "

From Orochimaru's point of view, the Third Hokage never thought about letting Uchiha Matsuri become Hokage.

Family is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Even if Uchiha Matsuri has not established contact with the Uchiha clan now, won't the Uchiha clan take the initiative to contact Uchiha Matsuri after becoming Hokage?

With the blood relationship between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Matsuri (blood brothers), the Third Hokage would definitely not trust Uchiha Matsuri as the Hokage.

In addition, some daily details confirmed Orochimaru's own conjecture.

First, the Third Hokage assigned the genius Kakashi to the Namikaze Minato class instead of the Uchiha Matsuri class.

As a once-in-a-century genius in Konoha, Kakashi has been placed high hopes by the Third Hokage since his graduation.Such a genius was assigned to Namikaze Minato's team. Combined with the tradition of Hokage's master and apprentice, the move of the Third Hokage makes people think a lot.

Some people may ask, wasn't the Third Hokage's biological son Asuma Sarutobi assigned to the Uchiha Festival team? Doesn't the Third Hokage not want Asuma Sarutobi to succeed as Hokage?

You know, for his own son, the Third Hokage must know Asuma Sarutobi's abilities better than anyone else.To be honest, Sarutobi Asuma has no potential as Hokage.Regarding this, the Third Hokage himself must be well aware of this.

Second, after Uchiha Matsuri entered the "root" department, although the Third Hokage approached Shimura Danzo, the Third Hokage did not use all available means to "rescue" Uchiha Matsuri.
