Konoha's Clow Magician

Seeing Senju Hideki's confident expression, Jiraiya nodded and said nothing.

The two of them spiraled downwards along the stairs, and soon arrived at the door of the confidential database.

"Snapped……"

Jiraiya pressed the token against the door, and the spell engraved on the token came into effect immediately. With a low sound, the door slowly opened.

So simple?

Looking at the token in Jiraiya's hand, Senju Hideki blinked.

Seemingly seeing his thoughts, Jiraiya laughed, "The spell on the token is only one-time, and the opening spell on the gate will change every once in a while. As for the rules, only the Hokage has them." Qualified to know.”

"Okay, come in."

Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder and entered the database first. He shuttled back and forth among the rows of bookshelves and searched for the scroll recording the Flying Thunder God according to the index.

Senju Hideki took this opportunity to use the dim light to carefully look at Konoha's confidential database with his Byakugan, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.

The ninjutsu and forbidden arts accumulated since the Warring States Period, as well as most of the secrets of the village, are all in this small room.

"What? If you want to see these, wait until you become Hokage."

Jiraiya didn't know when he came back, holding the Flying Thunder God's scroll in his hand and looking at him with a smile on his face.

Senju Hideki was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Jiraiya to have such expectations for him. He smiled and said, "Jiraiya-sama, I don't want to become Hokage."

"why?"

"What about you? Why didn't you choose to become the fourth generation, or even the future fifth generation Hokage?"

"Why?" Jiraiya murmured a few words in a low voice. The figures of Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Minato flashed in his mind, and he suppressed the smile on his face, revealing a trace of wavering and sighing, "Compared to previous generations of Hokages, , nothing I have done is worth mentioning, not to mention that I have to travel around the world to find the son of prophecy who can bring major changes to the ninja world."

Hearing what he said, Senju Hideki was not surprised. He took the scroll from Jiraiya's hand and smiled lightly, "Jiraiya-sama, you can capture the two-tailed Jinchuuriki alive. You are already a rare strong man in the ninja world. Why expect the so-called son of prophecy to change the world.”

Jiraiya was startled when he heard this, not knowing what he felt in his heart.

"Besides, if you hadn't arrived in time this time, I'm afraid the village would have had another war with Kumogakure, which is nothing to say."

He has some selfish motives. As he officially debuts in the ninja world and flaps his little wings vigorously, the reference value of many memories from his past life is getting smaller and smaller.

Just as the original three-year war with Kumogakure has now ended in an anticlimactic manner, it is uncertain whether Obito will continue to fight only the Uchiha clan like in his previous life, especially after he had just been fooled once.

From his point of view, there is no doubt that the more top power in the village, the better, and it is best for Jiraiya to stay.

Moreover, he would rather have a pure ninja like Jiraiya stand in that position than the third generation who is cunning and proficient in thick black science.

As for the prediction made by the Great Toad Sage, Senju Hideki said that it was useless, and even involved a shadow-level combatant in Konoha for the enemy.

Apart from anything else, if Jiraiya had stayed in the village when Naruto was born, as a teacher, he would most likely have been guarding Kushina. If Obito took the opportunity to attack, then... it's hard to say.

At least the village can have fewer casualties.

Seeing that Jiraiya was deep in thought, he struck while the iron was hot, "Jiraiya-sama, the village has just experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and almost fought with Kumogakure. At this time of weakness, you are Toad Sage, the "Three-Tails Rebellion" One of the "forbearance", with both prestige and strength, he will definitely be able to stabilize the floating hearts of the village."

A wry smile appeared on Jiraiya's face, "My life is full of failures. I was constantly rejected by Tsunade, failed to stop my friends from running away, and didn't even protect my apprentice and Kushina. How do I qualify to become Hokage?"

Why is it still so bad?Is it because he didn't learn Mouth Dun?

Senju Hideki frowned. Most people would go to heaven after being praised like this, but Toad Immortal sank into the well instead.

After pondering for a moment, he considered his words and then said, "Jiraiya-sama, whether the story is exciting or not depends on the ending of the story. Whether you are a qualified Hokage or not, you should only judge right and wrong when you step down. Since you are qualified to become Hokage, why not try to do it."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's expression changed, and the depression on his face eased slightly.

"Besides, if Tsunade-sama knows that you have succeeded as Hokage, she will definitely be impressed by you."

"Huh? Really, Tsunade will really change her mind about me?" Jiraiya showed a hint of joy on his face and held his wrist tightly.

This lsp!

Senju Hideki cursed secretly, calmly took away his painful big hand, and said expressionlessly, "Of course it's true. Why did you fail to confess your love so many times before? It's not because you were too rash. Impetuous, Tsunade-sama can’t even confirm whether your thoughts are true.”

"If you can become Hokage and show your steady and serious side, Tsunade-sama will naturally be moved. After all, women cannot resist an uncle who is in a high position and has a successful career."

After listening to his words, Jiraiya showed a sly smile on his face, and then hesitated, "No, I can't ignore the prediction of the Great Toad Sage."

After saying that, the frivolity on his face subsided and he said seriously, "Shu, I'm very happy that you consider this for the village and for me, but in the prophecy, my apprentice will be the one who changes the ninja world and brings peace to the ninja world. A stable person, I cannot throw aside the future of the ninja world for the sake of my own happiness."

Upon hearing this, a trace of respect flashed across Senju Hideki's face.

One is a powerful ruler of the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and the other is a lonely and helpless ninja who died in a foreign country!

Jiraiya chose the latter, and judging from the memories of his previous life, he persisted until the end and was a truly great ninja.

but……

Senju Hideki took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jiraiya-sama, you may have misunderstood what the Great Toad Sage meant."

"Um!?"

"The prophecy of the Great Toad Sage is that your apprentice is the person who can change the ninja world, so this is destined. Whether you are traveling around the world or staying in Konoha, he will eventually become your apprentice."

Zilai's eyes lit up.

"Perhaps the person who predicted it is in Konoha. Since you have become the Hokage, you can rely on the power of the village to observe carefully. After all, a person's power is limited."

"..."

"I have to say, you convinced me." Jiraiya's mind wavered, and it took him a long time to calm down, staring at him, "What about you, Shu, what do you want."

Senju Hideki smiled and said nothing.
