People raise Hokage in Yunyin

News came from the village that Shimura Danzo went to convene the Five Shadows Conference as the acting Hokage.

Jiraiya was a little irritated. He didn't have much affection for Danzo. His actions were too extreme. Even for Konoha, Jiraiya couldn't agree with some of his actions.

But who am I to question it? I'm just an evader. Jiraiya was a little self-deprecating.

Ever since he gave up returning to the village to take over as Hokage, he had lost the opportunity to participate in Konoha's high-level politics.

'Tsunade, Tsunade, why aren't you in the village at this time? ’

Jiraiya thought Tsunade could do better, but it was a pity that she was not in the village at the moment.

Danzo's approach was indeed correct, and even Jiraiya had to admit that Konoha would suffer greater losses if it didn't take a while.

When news of the Five Kage Conference came out, Sunagakure also stopped attacking and maintained a stalemate with the Konoha troops.

"Jiraiya-sama!" came a voice.

"Ah, it's Fugaku, what's the matter?"

The person he found was the current leader of the Uchiha clan. During this war, he revealed his legendary eye - the Mangekyo Sharingan. He relied on the technique called "Susanoh" to withstand the pressure on the battlefield and greatly reduced his power. He has suffered the loss of Konoha and has a small reputation among the Konoha troops today.

"Jiraiya-sama, may I ask why the war has stalled, and when can our clan return to the village to repair it?"

This question made Jiraiya freeze instantly.

"I'm not sure why Sunagakure stopped attacking, but Fugaku, we still need the power of the Uchiha clan as a deterrent, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in a short time." Jiraiya said carelessly.

"Is that so, I know."

Uchiha Fugaku forced a forced smile and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Jiraiya noticed the disappointment in Fugaku's eyes.

"sorry!"

After a long silence, Jiraiya still didn't say anything, he just bowed his head deeply to apologize.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled bitterly, turned around and walked out.

'Politics...'

The top leaders of the village asked Jiraiya to stabilize the Uchiha clan and prevent the Uchiha clan from returning.

Of course Jiraiya understood the reason.

‘We are obviously friends from the same village, but we can’t trust each other? ’

Thinking that as the opponent's superior and a partner leading the opponent in the war, I couldn't say anything at the critical moment.

The disappointment in Fugaku's eyes hurt Jiraiya deeply.

‘A person like me is really not worthy of trust! ’

-

Fugaku returned to the Uchiha clan's camp, and the surrounding clan members gathered around him.

"How about the clan leader, is there any relevant news?"

"Chief, do you know why the war stopped suddenly?"

"Clan leader, when can you return to the village?"

Looking at the eager eyes of the surrounding tribesmen, Fugaku was a little breathless.

Recently, he received vague news from his companions in the village that Danzo Shimura had gone to hold the Five Kage Conference as acting Hokage.

He went to Jiraiya seeking information, but got nothing.

Fugaku naturally saw Jiraiya's guilt, but what does this guilt mean to him and his people?

‘Are we so dedicated to the village and working hard to participate in the war, but in the end we are still not trusted? ’

There was a fire burning in Fugaku's heart.

"Jiraiya-sama is not sure, but the village still needs our strength. Please be patient for a while."

After hesitating for a long time, Fugaku could only reply like this.

"Okay, then just listen to the clan leader!" A clan member said in disappointment.

"When we go back, our clan will have a Hokage, right?" A clan member suddenly mentioned.

Suddenly the discussion around them became lively, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

'Oh, Naruto...'

Fugaku laughed at himself silently, knowing that his dream of being the Hokage was over.

-

"Jiraiya-sama, the elder is looking for you."

A toad suddenly appeared and delivered a message to Jiraiya.

"The Great Toad Immortal is looking for me?"

Jiraiya didn't dare to neglect and quickly activated the counter-spiritual technique.

In Miaomu Mountain, Fukasaku is already waiting here.

"Boss Fukasaku, what does the Great Toad Sento want from me?" Jiraiya was a little confused.

"The great master has made a new prophecy." Toad Fukasaku looked serious.

After hearing this, Jiraiya also became serious.

The old-looking Toad Immortal was sitting on a round chair, looking at Jiraiya kindly.

"Little Jiraiya." said the great toad sage.

"The ninja world will usher in an unprecedented war."

"War, is this what we are seeing?" Jiraiya was a little confused.

"This is a war that is countless times larger than what we are seeing now. It will be a catastrophe that will determine the entire future. Countless people will die as a result, and countless people will be reborn as a result." The Great Toad Immortal said with a serious face.

"Then... what about the Son of Prophecy?"

Jiraiya's throat was a little dry. He was shocked by the scene described by the Great Toad Sage.

After a brief pause, the Great Toad Immortal sighed.

"I can't see clearly. The future has changed and I can no longer see clearly." The Great Toad Immortal was a little helpless.

"I don't even know if the Son of Prophecy still exists and is still alive. Maybe he can no longer play the role in the prophecy."

After thinking about it, the Great Toad Immortal added.

Jiraiya didn't care about what happened next. He returned to the Konoha troop base in a somewhat confused state.

"The Child of Destiny...is gone?" Jiraiya couldn't accept it.

"Then why have I persisted from beginning to end?"

Jiraiya was a little puzzled. He thought about the prophecy he received from the Great Toad Sage when he was young, and traveled all over the shinobi world in search of the child of destiny. In order to find the child of destiny, he also wanted to enrich his own insights so that he could make decisions at critical moments.

‘Are these all meaningless? ’

Even with the mentality of a ninja like Jiraiya, he was also confused at this time. His lifelong persistence seemed to be denied, which was also a huge blow to him.

‘No, I cannot accept such denial! ’

Jiraiya thought of the three apprentices in Amegakure who were determined to change the cruel Amegakure, and also thought of Minato, the perfect ninja he thought. They all trust themselves so much and have no doubts about my thoughts and ideas.

‘I have achieved the best in my pursuit of the Destiny Child. ’ Jiraiya had an enlightenment.

‘Whether there is a child of destiny or not, I will use my hands to find the real solution! ’

Jiraiya's eyes burned with fire.
