Started as a Hokage

The white-haired middle-aged man who fell from the sky made the expressions of the two people present freeze.

Fortunately, Orochimaru said that facing his former friends, what he had done was indeed a bit difficult to face, but he was still able to face Jiraiya calmly.

Yuan Shuyi's expression was really gloomy, he made a mistake again.

The first time he fought with his own strength, coupled with his lack of combat experience, made him immersed in the battle and forgot the time and place.

Obviously, he shouldn't be here at this time, especially when he is with Orochimaru.

Once Jiraiya reports that he is here to Sarutobi Hiruzen, combined with the previous ANBU captain's affairs, he will easily become a target for Sarutobi Hiruzen or Danzo.

Although these things may not necessarily drive him out of the village, it will also bring a lot of trouble to his subsequent plans.

Gen Shuyi's eyes fell on Jiraiya's back, and he was constantly thinking in his heart whether he should leave Jiraiya here as well, just like dealing with a 'cow'.

But after thinking for less than a second, Yuan Shuyi quickly turned around and used the teleportation technique to quickly run away from the area.

Just kidding, Jiraiya is not an old man like a cow.

Jiraiya, who was in his prime, had real Kage-level strength, as well as a sage mode that broke the conventional strength. Gen Shuyi could not be Jiraiya's opponent at all.

What's more, Orochimaru is still there.

If Genshu Yi takes action against Jiraiya, it is obvious who Orochimaru will help.

At this time, Orochimaru was not as indifferent as later generations, and his feelings for Jiraiya were still very deep.

As for whether he would be exposed, Yuan Shuyi seemed calm.

Jiraiya is not a 'cow'.

'Niu' was the one who captured Minamoto Shugi when he was in the Hokage's forbidden area, and he knew what Minamoto Shugi did there.At best, Jiraiya only saw Genshu Yi and Orochimaru confronting each other. He didn't know what happened specifically.

Even if it was guessed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, it would be a little troublesome at most, as he would have to advance the opponent who was originally supposed to be dealt with later.

Although troublesome, it is not fatal.

This incident also taught Gen Shuyi a great lesson. After possessing the Ninja Card, his state of mind changed. He was no longer as cautious as before, but more careless.

In addition, his combat experience was really insufficient, so he forgot to be cautious when he was dragged by Orochimaru. Fortunately, it was Jiraiya who came instead of Sarutobi Hiruzen, otherwise this matter would not have ended well.

In fact, Jiraiya didn't pay much attention to Gen Shuyi, especially when his former comrades defected and fled the village, which was a huge blow to him. This iron-hearted ninja unconsciously lost his mind and did not take a closer look at Gen Shuyi. s face.

But for ninjas, a few characteristics are enough to identify a person.

It's just that Minamoto Shugi was worried about Jiraiya, because even without Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew about Minamoto Shugi.

Before Niu died, he realized that Yuan Shuyi's men were still hiding around him, and he knew that he would not survive this time.

The Anbu's arm he grabbed was not only in pain because the meridians in the body were cut off, but also used the Anbu's body to write the words he wanted to write to Sarutobi Hiruzen before he died.

As for whether the Anbu he captured was also a subordinate of Minamoto Shugi, he had no time to care, he just wanted to contribute his last bit of value to Konoha.

Fortunately, he made the right bet. The ANBU was well-trained. After noticing something was wrong with his arm, he gritted his teeth and endured the burning pain on his skin without any fluctuation in his expression.

After Niu died, he and several colleagues collected the remains of the captain until the arrival of the third generation.

Looking for an opportunity, he avoided everyone and showed the message that Captain "Niu" wanted to send to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In order not to be exposed, even he himself did not know what words the captain had carved on his body.

I saw bloody carvings on my arms:

"Be careful with Orochimaru and Minamoto Shugi."

'Niu' didn't know that Orochimaru had been experimenting on humans and had expelled himself from the village, so he took Orochimaru with him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, however, looked at the words Minamoto Shuyoshi and fell into deep thought.

Because of the tight time, it was impossible for 'Niu' to write more before his death, but these few words were enough for Hiruzen Sarutobi to figure out all the problems.

It seems that one of the two Danzo and Orochimaru who peeked at the Sealed Book was Minamoto Souyoshi in disguise. It happened that Orochimaru was also there at that time, causing an oolong incident.

Then the two people were accidentally hit by a 'cow'. After the fight, the three of them fled outside the village. The ANBU captain was defeated by the enemy. The two teamed up and came back with their last breath to remind him, but they could not persist because of their injuries. He died when he saw himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already deduced the general plot, and it can be seen from the last message of 'Ou' that Minamoto Shugi is definitely the murderer who caused the death of the ANBU captain this time.

But he knew that this alone was not enough to defeat Yuan Shuyi.

Not to mention that the only witness, 'Niu', was dead, but Minamoto Shuyoshi's prestige and power were now such that even Sarutobi Hiruzen would not dare to attack rashly.

Not to mention that Gen Shuyi has probably won over all the forces in the fourth generation. Those forces are not very interested in him, and they are not likely to take the retired Hokage seriously.

But it was not Sarutobi Hiruzen's style to be put on the spot by Minamoto Shugi and do nothing.

Especially this time, the Hokage family suffered heavy losses, and they must give an explanation no matter what.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smoking arm paused, and his eyes became particularly sharp.

In the evening, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking a cigarette in the Hokage's office, was still waiting for Jiraiya's return.

The door was opened from the outside, and Jiraiya, who was looking embarrassed, walked into the Hokage's office silently.

Seeing his disciple walking in alone, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt pain in his heart. Orochimaru finally ran away and left Konoha.

"Teacher, I tried my best, but Orochimaru, that guy doesn't want to come back." Jiraiya's voice was full of exhaustion, and his originally cheerful face was now full of loneliness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said nothing more.

This is to be expected. Orochimaru and Jiraiya are equally powerful, and Orochimaru may be slightly better. When Orochimaru wants to leave, it is normal for Jiraiya to miss.

In fact, he didn't know that Jiraiya almost beat Orochimaru to death in a rage, but unfortunately he still couldn't let go of his former glory and let Orochimaru go.

"When you went after Orochimaru, was Minamoto Shugi there?" Sarutobi Hiruzen put Orochimaru's affairs behind him at this time and asked Jiraiya.

If Jiraiya is willing to identify Minamoto Shugi, even if he cannot be beaten to death, his reputation in Konoha will be damaged.

"Gen Shuyi?"

Jiraiya frowned and carefully recalled that he did indeed see Orochimaru and Genshu Yi confronting each other, but his attention was not on Gen Shuyi at the time, so he subconsciously ignored it.

So he nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked and said quickly: "That's easy to handle. Genshu Yi and Orochimaru stole the Sealed Book together. Jiraiya, for the sake of the village, I hope you can..."

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I want to rest for a while first." Jiraiya suddenly interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, stood up directly, bowed tiredly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, turned around and walked out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not finished speaking, was stunned on the spot.

How come Jiraiya...! !

Jiraiya was not a fool, he knew what his teacher was going to say, but he couldn't agree to it.

Firstly, he was tired of the infighting among the top management.

They forced Tsunade away, and now Orochimaru also ran away. Even he himself couldn't hold on any longer. This village made him feel suffocated.

Secondly, it was for Namikaze Minato.

Regardless of Minamoto Sogyi's purpose, what he is doing now is to gain reputation for Namikaze Minato, whether it is the fund or something else.

Jiraiya was very grateful to Gen Shuyi for everything he did for Namikaze Minato.

He always felt that he owed Namikaze Minato.

If he hadn't always instilled in Minato that he was the savior and that he had the spirit to sacrifice everything for the ninja world, maybe Namikaze Minato wouldn't have resolutely died for the village. In the end, Minato's child became the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Freedom cannot be guaranteed.

He stayed in the village because he wanted to compensate Minato and atone for his sins.But Minamoto Souyoshi could do better, let Minato's stories continue to be passed down, and he was even very generous in his treatment of Naruto.

It may be difficult for Naruto to have freedom, but it is possible for him to have a prosperous life.

This is enough.

He was really grateful to Gen Shuyi for everything he had done for Namikaze Minato.

The fight at the top caused him to lose a friend, and they also wanted him to lose the opportunity to compensate Minato.

Jiraiya really couldn't do it.

Jiraiya came out of the Hokage Building feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Looking at the brightly lit Konoha, he hesitated for a moment and instead of going back to his home, he walked out of the village under the moonlight.
