Naruto: Across Worlds

Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Office.

After Jiraiya disappeared from the Land of Rain, he returned directly to Konoha to discuss the next situation with Sarutobi.

At this time, Sarutobi took a deep breath of cigarette, put down his pipe and said excitedly: "You said that Hanzo promised to announce to the ninja world in three days that he would attach himself to Konoha?"

"As expected, we will know the answer in three days. However, Mr. Sarutobi, it is time to be prepared. In three days at most, I believe that the sandstone coalition will basically be able to occupy 80% of the territory of the Land of Rain. , will also push the people of the Kingdom of Rain completely into despair. At that time, we must assist them as a savior.

Otherwise, I am afraid that even if the Kingdom of Rain declares its attachment to the Kingdom of Fire, we will not be able to get the support of the people of the Kingdom of Rain.

In addition, once the sandstone coalition forces completely capture the entire Land of Rain, our role in Konoha will change from a savior to an active defense, and we will completely offend Hanzo, the leader of Rain Gakuin. "

Jiraiya said calmly, with a somewhat uncertain look in his eyes. Although Sarutobi had previously said that he would have full authority to handle war matters, after all, Sarutobi was still the supreme leader of Konoha.

There is no doubt about this and it will not change. His will represents Konoha's true attitude.

However, judging from the past situation, Sarutobi has always regarded peace and stability as Konoha's external policy. Unless he has no choice, he will not agree to take the initiative to fight.

At this time, as if he was aware of what Jiraiya was thinking, Sarutobi raised his head and smiled slightly: "Jiraiya, you have done a good job in this matter. You were right before, war is inevitable, so we must What they do is to eliminate the enemy to the greatest extent and reduce Konoha's losses.

Haha, maybe you thought I wouldn’t agree, right?

But the teacher tells you, I completely agree this time. As long as the Kingdom of Rain declares to the ninja world to become a satellite of the Kingdom of Fire, then we Konoha will have a reason to go to war.

At the same time, as long as the Kingdom of Rain is immortal, there will be an unbreakable natural defense line around Konoha in the future.

Being able to gain the support of the people of the Rain Country is a good thing for Konoha and the Fire Country.

We can also free up our hands to defend the east, and Konoha will have enough energy to face all invading enemies."

Hearing this, Jiraiya was relieved, he smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "That's good, since Mr. Sarutobi has agreed, then I can summon the ANBU members to start preparations.

In addition, although this battle can almost be said to be won, it is undeniable that dangers exist.

I am not going to mobilize any ninjas below the jounin level, which means that neither the chuunin nor the genin will participate in this battle."

"Why Jiraiya, tell me your reason?" Sarutobi asked, his brows furrowed as he looked thoughtful.

If genin and chunin are not called upon, Konoha's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Don't underestimate ninjas at the level of genin and chunin. The ants will bite the elephant to death, and the effect is very big.

Moreover, in past wars, the main force was usually cannon fodder like genin.

first

Even if the number of losses is large, it is an excellent training. Unlike jounin and shadow-level experts, as long as one dies, it will be a huge loss to Konoha's strength.

Secondly, this kind of fighting method has never been used before. After all, no matter which hidden village, each Jonin-level character basically has his own reputation. Whoever comes up will use the highest combat power.

However, all Jiraiya said calmly: "Teacher Sarutobi, I have always disagreed with underage children going to the battlefield, although it will help them have an intuitive understanding of the ninja profession and help them in the future. Become an amazing ninja.

However, Sarutobi-sensei, you should know that in every war, the genin are the ones who die the most.

What are genin? Genin are the future. As long as they can successfully grow into truly strong men, Konoha will become stronger and stronger."

After hearing this, Sarutobi frowned, looked at him with a disappointed look and said, "Jiraiya, you still don't trust Danzo. Although these few years have passed, you are too vindictive. "

Although Sarutobi's words were abrupt, Jiraiya understood them, and Sarutobi understood what he was thinking.

"Teacher Sarutobi, this is not to hold grudges, but to prepare for a rainy day. You should know what kind of person Danzo is. He is hostile to all major families in Konoha. This is true for Uchiha, so is Hinata, and even more so for the Senju clan. , now, look at how many members of the Senju clan are left. Those are the clansmen of the first Hokage and the second Hokage who founded Konoha.

But now, except for a few old people in the Senju clan, only Tsunade is the female, and the only male is Nezuki. Mr. Sarutobi, do you think of seeing your teacher when you die and begging for his forgiveness? "?" Jiraiya said without giving in.

There is no need to discuss this matter. The tree cannot die in the Second Ninja War like in the original work. Whether it is for Konoha or Tsunade, this cannot be changed.

In addition, children should study hard in school and learn knowledge. Not all men in Konoha have died on the battlefield.

In an instant, Sarutobi's expression changed. He looked directly at Jiraiya and said loudly: "Jiraiya, I am the Hokage of Konoha. It is up to me to decide what to do and how to do it. You just need to execute the order."

Hearing this, Jiraiya smiled coldly, looked directly at Sarutobi, and said calmly: "So that's what Sarutobi-sensei thinks. You think I will try to seize the position of Hokage and make you step down, right?"

I know that you are afraid of me. This problem has existed since eight years ago, so it is true to keep me away from Konoha, and it is false to avoid conflicts between me and Danzo and weaken Konoha.

Haha, Sarutobi-sensei, you underestimate me Jiraiya too much. The position of Hokage is nothing more than a burden to me. I don’t even care about Jiraiya and I have never thought about becoming Hokage.”

Having said this, Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi seriously, and seeing the angry look on Sarutobi's face, he spoke again: "Sarutobi-sensei, don't worry, I will solve this war by myself. I won't Use one of Konoha's soldiers.

At the same time, after the war is over, I will leave Konoha with Tsunade and Noden Tree. By then, I will not come back to Konoha Hidden Village. You can rest assured that I, Jiraiya, will keep my word."

After finishing his words, Jiraiya turned around and walked out of the Hokage's office full of disappointment.
