[Hokage] Secrets of the Fathers [Fourth Generation Center]

"So you kill him"

"I didn't kill him."

Konoha December 62, the informal Jiraiya never remembers to tear up calendars, he doesn't have that kind of thing at all.

In the Rain Country, the Rain Ninja Village, the free Jiraiya can eat and sleep well no matter where he is, just like his own home.

In Orochimaru's laboratory, the upright Jiraiya would not sneak in. Since everyone disliked him being in the way, it was no different for him to guard the door.Orochimaru was right, being a guard was not just about surveillance, but more importantly, protection.Although he still doesn't understand what Orochimaru's secrets are, he must protect Orochimaru's experiments from being disturbed.Because the only remaining disciples of his remaining disciples said that if Orochimaru succeeds, the peace brought by his teacher will not be a short-lived peace. If Orochimaru fails, such as Kato Dan, Senju Nōju, and many, many others will not die.

So Jiraiya carefully came into the laboratory after being invited to disinfect and change clothes and shoes. Orochimaru needed an assistant.A long time ago, when Orochimaru was still concentrating on studying ninjutsu, he would often call him for help.It's just that Jiraiya had no idea that now he was no longer a moving target to experience someone's ingenuity, but was instead disposing of corpses.

Right, after the master chef in the cafeteria has finished cooking, there will be leftovers to feed the animals. No matter whether the medical ninjas are practicing or conducting experiments, there will always be poor rabbits, seafood, turtles, and, Nagato, "Didn't we agree, for my sake?" Go ahead, save Konan and Nagato’s lives.”

"Again I didn't kill him."

"But Nagato is dead."

"Not completely dead." The day before yesterday, Orochimaru gave Nagato a tube of venom and watched as the subject's soul was taken away by a beam of light. Before being taken away, he gestured that he would be back soon.As a result, after three days, Nagato's soul had not yet appeared.But it’s not a big deal to stay in the Pure Land for a few more days.Orochimaru himself only realized something was wrong when he took over the Hokage's hat from Sarutobi Hiruzen, "If Nagato is as determined as he thinks he is, he still has a chance to continue living, and the experiment has just begun. "

"There are corpse spots all over his arms and legs, and the flesh is rotten. You have to wait for him to have worms before you admit that he is a dead person. You asked me to help him collect the body and feed it." The good-for-nothing elder Jiraiya's face is worthless, Orochimaru It is common for experiments to fail, and one of the conditions for Konoha to keep Nagato and Konan alive is to sign a voluntary human experimentation form. Nagato signed it, and Konan also signed it. But Jiraiya was still very sad, "Wait until Konan is discharged from the hospital. How should I explain to her in the future? I have agreed with her that she and Nagato will have the opportunity to become ordinary residents of Rain Ninja Village."

"There is a chance." Orochimaru threw the body bag at Jiraiya's feet, "I remember you once said that if Tsunade dares to betray Konoha, you will deal with her personally. I betrayed Konoha, and you must do it yourself. Deal with me, but it's a pity that you can't defeat me. Then, why do you think that Konoha's enemies can forget about it?"

""

"If Konoha didn't let anyone go, Kabuto Yakushi, Yamato, even the little idiot Anko would be better than you."

""

"Why haven't you started working yet? Your other disciple Namikaze Minato didn't give me much budget. It's really a waste of resources to keep a useless corpse fresh." Orochimaru returned to his seat and continued to observe under the microscope. With Senju Hashirama's cells, it would take a lot of time to divide and culture the active cells in a small piece of meat to a sufficient number for use.

"" Jiraiya finally opened the body bag to bury Nagato. He didn't know what made Orochimaru able to equate a person to a salted fish or a pig's foot in the refrigerator.But he knew that Orochimaru was doing evil, and Minato, Kakashi, and Konoha were all supporting Orochimaru in doing evil.But Jiraiya couldn't just smash the laboratory to pieces.If it had been a few years earlier, he would have smashed Orochimaru to pieces. "Your experiment seems to be highly profitable, but Orochimaru, even signing the scroll cannot prove that you did not kill anyone. This is human life."

Orochimaru has never regretted it, but now he really feels that saving several lives of the idiot Jiraiya when he was young is debatable, "There is a room of scrolls in Konoha Hospital, and Minato Namikaze took the lead in signing it, and Hiruzen Sarutobi has already Just signed it.”

""

"They are willing to let the medical ninja experiment with new drugs and new technologies when they are sick and injured. After death, all the remains, including internal organs, eyes, bones, and muscles, and every cell can be used and studied by the medical ninja, just for the advancement of Konoha's medical technology." Orochimaru raised his head, "The success of every medicine means that the younger generations will suffer less. The maturity of every new medical ninjutsu may save the lives of the younger generations."

""

"A new product cannot be used on a large scale without sufficient human clinical trials, because who knows what irreparable sequelae it will have."

""

"Psychic beasts that have not dissected a large number of corpses and have not gained enough experience on living people are all slugs. Even if Tsunade allows more medical ninjas to sign slugs' psychic scrolls, few of them will have enough." His chakra and control power summoned slugs that could save lives." Orochimaru smiled, "Human experimentation just sounds evil."

"Orochimaru, can you stop talking like that?" Jiraiya felt goosebumps all over his body as he listened to Orochimaru's voice, which was as broken as a blackboard with his nails.

Orochimaru thought that Jiraiya was older and could use his brain better, "Hey, what do you think the cells of the so-called Senju Hashirama, the first generation are?"

Jiraiya had nothing to say, he couldn't speak to Orochimaru, he hadn't been able to speak to him since he was a child.Later, he thought that he was a figure after all, but it turned out that he was still the quiet one, "Are you going back to Kakashi's inauguration ceremony? I don't think Konoha will not let you participate. I just said that you are one of them. It is such an important occasion." But without you, it would be quite troublesome to explain. After all, you still have a few admirers in Konoha."

"Of course I want to participate." Orochimaru was counting the time. When the first-generation cells were cultured and Nagato hadn't come back, he would have to go to Konoha to get the spare parts. However, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, "What are you doing?" It was then that I started to become interested in politics.”

"Let's celebrate the New Year this year at Sarutobi-sensei's place." Jiraiya carried the dead Nagato on his back, "We haven't celebrated the New Year together in 20 years. I have also contacted Tsunade. You see, She also has the Flying Thunder God communicator. I used to criticize Minato for building a new Hokage as a waste of money, but now I find out that it is actually a signal transmission tower."

"Tsunade will not come back." Orochimaru pressed the button of the electric steel door at hand, thinking of the mine-like corridors of the Sound Ninja Base Yunokuni Base and the dim light bulbs of candle oil lamps, and then looked at the hair-thin hair in his hand. It took several craftsmen from the Craftsman Country to make one needle. Konoha brought him hundreds of them in just one week. This is the difference between the power of one person, the power of a village and the power of a country, "Jirai Also, don’t hold the elevator door open.”

Jiraiya stood in the elevator, holding the door open and motionless.

"What else do you need?"

"That scroll, do you have it, is the one who donated the body, no, the body."

""

"I haven't signed it yet." Jiraiya really wanted to do something more for Konoha, "Since Minato and Sarutobi-sensei have signed it, it must be something that will benefit Konoha a lot. Don't you need experimental subjects?" It seems like I just said that I need someone with a strong will, what do you think of me, I will be your experimental subject."

"The scroll has nothing to do with my experiment." Orochimaru opened Jiraiya's fingers and continued to close the door, "ask Kakashi for the scroll."

Jiraiya dragged the big black bag containing Nagato's body and took the newly installed elevator from several underground floors to the ground.But then, if you are in Konoha, just dig a hole on the hill behind the Memorial Monument and bury it.As for Rain Ninja, should I bury it somewhere or burn it?

Orochimaru's order was to dispose of the body. In fact, Jiraiya only had to carry Nagato out of the secret laboratory and hand it over to any Anbu to complete the task.But this is a disciple. Nagato may have stopped treating him as a teacher a long time ago. He already hates the enemy of Konoha.

, Danzo also forced Yahiko to commit suicide in such a despicable way. Danzo is a bad guy, and no one in Konoha dares to say that he is a good guy.But Danzo is still Konoha's Danzo, just like Jiraiya will always be Konoha's Jiraiya.Nagato did not take revenge in the wrong place, "The same goes for Xiaonan. I went to the hospital to see her that day, but she was clearly awake but didn't even look at me. She must hate Konoha, little friend Nagato."

"You said you guys, when I wanted to take you back to Konoha, they all said in unison that they would become ninjas in the future and be ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village. I don't know if you still think you are Rain Ninjas now." With Jiraiya's physical strength , Carrying someone for a few steps shouldn't be tiring, but he was still gradually out of breath.But the sea is right in front of you.

Yes, the Country of Rain is a completely landlocked country, a small basin surrounded by vast deserts, towering mountains, and rolling plains.But who says landlocked countries cannot have seas.Just on the edge of Yuren Village, the clear water is as calm as a mirror, and there are lotus leaves and lotus roots near the shore.Yes, this is just a slightly larger lake, smaller than the lake in the forest outside Konoha, but the people of the small Rain Country just want to call it the sea, "What do you think of this place, Nagato?"

Jiraiya didn't wait for Nagato's answer. He began to consider whether to lose the person alone or throw the bag together. "It's really annoying. We have this stinky problem in Konoha. We don't care about our own things, including toothbrushes, toothbrushes, light bulbs, body bags, and even military rations." Even Marukami wants to be branded as Konoha."

"You are all prisoners of Konoha, and being branded as Konoha's beauty doesn't matter, right?" Jiraiya still didn't open the zipper. As a ninja, it was hard to say that he was actually very afraid of corpses.When I was a child, I was a late maturer and ignorant, and I didn't feel anything when I killed someone.Only when he grew up did he realize what he had done. "Nagato, really, a ninja would be lucky if he died without any arms or legs."

Jiraiya said as he threw the black bag far into the water, "When you were kids, you still argued with me. I showed you photos. You can't see the end of the windy sea, but you insist on saying that you can't see the lake either. To the end. I don’t know if you have ever seen the real sea later.”

"Nagato and Konan must have met each other. It's hard to say for sure. Yahiko was not even a jounin when he died. I don't know if he had ever been in the field as far as the sea." Jiraiya squatted on the ground and muttered to himself. , he watched the black bag gurgling and quickly sank out of sight. He rubbed his sour eyes and couldn't cry, "Actually, many people in Konoha know something, but I haven't told you. My young At that time, I received a prophecy from the Toad Immortal. He said that one of my disciples would have a miraculous son, who might save the world or destroy it. It all depends on how I educate him. Then I searched and searched, and found the three of you who insisted on it. Worship me as your teacher.”

"At first I thought Yahiko was the child of destiny. He said he would bring peace to the world." Jiraiya opened the jug and poured the wine into the water. "I hope his method of bringing peace is not war. Yahiko really did not choose war. , but called on everyone to sit down and negotiate. In fact, he almost succeeded. Because even many young ninjas in Konoha felt that Yahiko was right. This also included the later golden flash. After that, I thought it was you, Chang Door, after Yahiko's death, I heard that you and Yahiko's remaining followers wanted to take revenge on the world. I searched and searched, but I still couldn't find you. I thought you were eliminated by Sanshouyu, but it turned out that you killed him."

"Forget it, what's the use of talking about this now?" Jiraiya put away the empty wine gourd, took two canteen lunches and squatted in front of Orochimaru's door again.It was a boring job, but Jiraiya really didn't dare to leave his post without permission this time.He doesn’t agree and will have no further opinion.Sarutobi-sensei was right, the last thing he should have done in his life was to leave Konoha when everyone was working hard, but fortunately there was compensation, and the strong Jiraiya was still far away from retirement.

But Konoha, the Country of Fire

New Hokage Studio

Naruto Office

The new Hokage still wished that Jiraiya could simply retire, "I told him it was for surveillance, but he was deceived by Orochimaru and became Orochimaru's bodyguard."

"There's nothing we can do. That's how Jiraiya-sama is. If it doesn't work, let's change someone else." Genma thanked the fourth generation. The Hokage's office still only has a seat for the Hokage, but in addition to the lounge, there is also a balcony. When you want to be lazy, you can Kakashi closed the door, hey, everyone thought they were talking about some secret, "What a shame."

"What a pity. It would be better for Jiraiya to retire and write his novel instead of causing trouble all day long." Kakashi held a glass of water and sucked it through a straw.His work schedule is not as full as that of his teacher, nor is it as easy.

"It's a pity that the fourth generation didn't get to use the new office he dreamed of in the end." Genjian also drank water. The fourth generation's lesson warned them that without a good body, no matter how capable they are, it's useless. "Don't say it yet, you This water really works and makes me more energetic than drinking coffee.”

"Because it contains a universal supplement." Kakashi poured some more for Genma, "How about it? It's healthier than coffee and more effective than coffee. Do you think it would be easy to sell this as a drink?"

"Easy to sell, easy to sell." Xuanjian made a small calculation in his mind, "But the cost of producing supplements in Kabuto is not low."

"But adding one or two drops of supplements to a cup of tap water can have the effect of coffee." Kakashi felt that he really had the potential to be a profiteer. "If I want to completely make up for the big hole left by Pain, I still lack money. The detonating charms are occasionally sold. You get a good deal if you sell more, and the price drops drastically if you sell more.”

"Hey, I'm short of money when I don't have money, and I'm even more short of money when I have money." Shiranui Genma spat out the Senbon in his mouth and lay on the sofa, "Kakashi."

"Ah."

"Can't you wait two years before doing the fifth generation?"

"No."

"I always feel unhappy that the fourth generation did not work for 20 years." Genma wiped his eyes, "There was not even a retirement ceremony. I had already promised that my 40th birthday would be celebrated grandly, but in the end there was not much excitement."

"" Kakashi was lying on the sofa on the other side, "Teacher will move to a new house after the Chinese New Year. You take the time to help tidy up the wardrobe. He has a lot of clothes and shoes now. Yamato is neat and tidy, but he can always find something. I think it’s not as convenient as your arrangement.”

"Of course, Yamato's current position should have been mine." Genma smiled, then felt disappointed, "I'm always busy, and I haven't had dinner with Yondaime for a long time."

"Shisui is not the same." Kakashi sighed, "After we move, let's invite everyone to have a good meal." It just so happened that Kai came back. "

"Ah."

"Well, aren't I handsome today? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Hatake old house, Namikaze Minato's bedroom

"No, he's very handsome." Uzumaki Kina came back from Uchiha Mikoto again. The black shadow was still the same, but Mikoto seemed to be getting more and more unhappy, "It's winter, wear thicker clothes when you go out, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Minato looked at his corduroy pants, suede shoes, shirt, cashmere vest and cashmere coat, and then took out a pair of lambskin gloves, "They are thick enough. Look at who on the street wears thicker clothes than me."

That's right, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and all the ninjas who are due to return except the garrison personnel have also returned from their missions.Qinai thought as he took the scarf, "It's very windy today, so tuck your collar in."

Minato watched Kinai empty the scarf and quickly wrapped it tightly around his neck.

Everyone else was laughing and talking, but Mikoto stayed alone in the empty room.

Minato watched as Kinai emptied the mask and hesitated whether to wear it or not.When he caught a cold last winter, he casually asked the doctor for a mask. A girl who can carry a clean mask with her can do this.But this year he discovered that it was Kato Shizune who actually asked the logistics to change all the standard masks of Konoha medical ninja to pink. They changed it last year.

"I don't worry about you wearing the mask outside." Kinai finally put Mikoto behind her head. What she wanted to protect was Minato Naruto and her home, and Konoha was Kakashi's business. "Hurry up, put on the mask. Let’s go see the new house, and it’s up to you to decide on the floor for our bedroom.”

The ground says people should be down-to-earth

December 62 is already halfway through Konoha

There are less than fifteen days until Kakashi becomes the Fifth Hokage.
