Naruto: Across Worlds

Konoha Hidden Village.

As Sarutobi finished speaking, several ninjas who entered the finals smiled.

They all knew that the Chuunin could no longer escape, but they had not yet received the rewards for the top few.

At this time, Kato Dan said coldly: "The next round will be Konoha's Nezuki, Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi, and Sunagakure's Sara.

Next, just like the previous competition system, lots are drawn to determine the opponents, and the top three winners can receive rewards from the Hokage. "

"Konoha"

"Konoha"

""

Cheers of cheers suddenly resounded throughout the venue.

However, at this moment, Sarutobi and Jiraiya received news at the same time that the Third Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage initiated the Five Shadows Talks at the same time.

At ANBU headquarters.

Jiraiya frowned slightly after hearing the news from the ANBU under his command. He thought that the alliance with Kumogakure would make other Hidden Villages wary of triggering the Second Ninja War in the original work at this time.

It's a pity that the power of the carriage of history is powerful, even if it is a little bit of his existence, it still can't change anything.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya nodded and said to Shigesaku Hatake beside him: "Since the Five Kage Conference is a rule that all ninja villages must abide by, Konoha is not easy to break.

The Sandaime Hokage is about to leave for the Kingdom of Iron. I will leave the security work to you along the way.

However, you have to promise me that there will not be any problems with the safety of the Third Hokage."

"Hi"

Hatake Shigesaku bowed slightly and answered without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiraiya nodded, walked calmly to the window, and murmured to himself: "Since history is still running on its original trajectory, then I can't sit still and wait for death."

Suddenly, an unparalleled aura appeared on his body, which soon spread throughout the headquarters.

Naruto Office

Sarutobi sat on the Hokage's chair, looking at the information sent by the ANBU, and suddenly felt a little confused.

He looked at the ANBU who was kneeling on one knee and asked calmly: "Jiraiya should also know the news, right?"

Hearing this, the ANBU members nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, the message is in duplicate and is sent to Jiraiya-sama and you at the same time. By this time, Jiraiya-sama must have received the message."

Hearing this, Sarutobi nodded and said, "In that case, go back and tell Jiraiya and let him tell me his thoughts.

Okay, you go down first.”

"Hi"

The ANBU member responded respectfully, quickly formed seals with his hands, and quickly disappeared into the office.

Not long after, Jiraiya gently opened the door and walked in. He looked at Sarutobi who was deep in thought and smiled: "Sarutobi-sensei, what are you worried about?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi raised his head, then put down the scroll in his hand, and said: "The third Kazekage of Sunagakure and the third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure initiated the Five Kage Talks at the same time. Although there is no connection on the surface, in my opinion there should be It's not that simple.

During the First World War, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, both defeated countries, did not take advantage and lost a lot of things.

Now, according to reports from spies, the resources of the two major countries are no longer enough to support their development.

I think if this negotiation fails, it may trigger another war.

 Although Konoha already has enough strength to dare to keep the enemy outside the country, it cannot avoid casualties.

Once war breaks out again, many people will still be displaced and lose their loved ones.

I don’t know what you can do to reduce the losses of Konoha and Fire Nation."

After hearing what Sarutobi said, Jiraiya was not surprised at all. If Sarutobi couldn't deduce these information, he wouldn't have been able to occupy the position of Hokage for so many years in the original work.

Jiraiya nodded and said: "Sarutobi-sensei's words make sense. Indeed, as I inferred, if this meeting fails, then war will definitely break out. I think this is absolutely correct.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are ambitious and want to expand their territory and obtain more resources to develop their countries.

However, their domestic resources are indeed very small, so there is no other option except war and aggression.

The Fire Country, where Konoha is located, is one of their targets. The Fire Country, with its vast territory and abundant resources, will definitely be invaded by the enemy.

So I think we have to get started.

As for the location of the war, I think it definitely cannot be within the Country of Fire. Then, the only choice is the Country of Rain, which is adjacent to the three major countries."

At this point, Jiraiya sighed and continued: "Although it is immoral to lead the war to other countries, in order to reduce the battle losses in the Land of Fire, there is no other way.

As for how to do it, it is still up to you, Sarutobi-sensei, to choose as before. After all, you are the Hokage of Konoha."

After saying that, he remained silent and waited for Sarutobi's decision.

After listening to Jiraiya's analysis, Sarutobi smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, Jiraiya, your idea is very good.

None of us want war, but when war does come, the only thing we can do is to reduce our losses.

Let's do this, arrange your manpower and go with me to experience this Five Shadows Conference.

As for taking over, it depends on the outcome of this meeting."

Having said this, he looked at Jiraiya calmly and sighed: "Jiraiya, the teacher is very lucky to have a disciple like you.

I still remember that when you were young, you expressed your opinion for the first time, and the result really came true as you said.

Haha, Jiraiya, you are very good. If this meeting fails, the teacher hopes that the war will be directed by you.

After the war, I am getting older, and Hokage needs someone to succeed me. I believe that under your leadership, Konoha will become stronger and become the truly strongest hidden village. "

Hearing this, Jiraiya glanced at Sarutobi in surprise. He didn't know that Sarutobi was a person who was very passionate about power.

Now that he actually said this in front of him, it showed that he had really let go.

It's a pity that other people would be overjoyed, but that was not his intention. Although the position of Hokage seemed to have unlimited glory, to him it was nothing more than trouble.

Moreover, he never thought that one day he would become the Hokage of Konoha.

In addition, there was another possibility, but he didn't want to think about it, that is, these words were just Sarutobi's temptation.

So, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Sarutobi-sensei, I love a free life, so let's forget about the position of Hokage.

Whether you mean it or not, really, I don't have any idea about Naruto's position.

However, I can guarantee that if Konoha is to be destroyed, I, Jiraiya, will die on the charge to protect Konoha."
