Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

Earth Kingdom battlefield, Konoha camp.

"what!"

"what is that!!"

"What the hell happened there?!!!"

"It's hard to see hope that the war will end, but don't let anything bad happen again...!!"

The Konoha ninja looked at the horrifying scene on the horizon in the distance with a stunned expression.

Under the dark night, the purple thunder pillar that seems to connect the sky and the earth is clearly visible;

It reflected the sky in that place into purple.

Even though we are so far apart;

They all felt that the air seemed to be charged with electric particles.

There is even a slight tingling sensation on the surface of the skin.

From their perspective, the thunder pillar seemed to be connected with the mushroom cloud that appeared at noon.

Such a doomsday disaster-like scene filled the sky with the aura of destruction.

It also casts a layer of gloom in the hearts of everyone who sees it.

"what happened?"

"Why is it so noisy...!"

"Will you let me, Toad Sage Jiraiya-sama, have a good sleep?"

In the central tent, Jiraiya was lying on the bed without any image.

He was awakened by the noise from the outside world, with a heavy look of tiredness on his face.

three years of war;

Both body and mind are exhausted.

Today we finally managed to repel the Iwa Ninja and cut off the opponent's supply line;

There is a high probability that the enemy will withdraw at this point, and the battlefield of Earth Kingdom will probably end here.

He was finally able to sleep peacefully, but he was woken up by these ignorant ninjas.

My heart was suddenly filled with deep resentment.

"It's really not going to happen...!"

"You don't have any sympathy for me, Jiraiya-sama."

"At this time, I should arrange two young ladies with super figures for me to comfort Jiraiya-sama's body and mind."

Jiraiya got up from the bed in a hurry.

It seems that I am thinking of those young ladies who have been given warmth by me in the past;

There was a look of aftertaste on his face, and from time to time, a lewd laugh like a madman came out of his mouth.

"After the war is over, I, Jiraiya-sama, must live in Flower Street for a month!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Jiraiya was in a generally good mood.

The Sand Ninja surrendered, and the Iwa Ninja were basically unable to attack Konoha anymore;

Kirigakure Village also reduced its defenses due to unexpected factors and stopped invading Konoha.

Compared with the precarious situation under the siege of the four villages at the beginning, Konoha's current situation can be said to have greatly improved.

As long as the Kumo ninja are defeated, the Third Ninja War will be over.

Peace will come to the village again.

Even when he falls, he can once again embark on the road of collecting materials;

Start a series of beautiful encounters with the ladies along the way.

"Teacher, there is an emergency!"

"Outside..."

The figure of Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared in front of Jiraiya and spoke in a somewhat urgent tone.

But when he saw the little Jiraiya who was already swollen underneath;

What he was about to say stopped abruptly.

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

"Cough cough..."

Jiraiya coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

He quickly bent over and walked to the chair to sit down, covering his lower body.

He was a little lost in thought about the young lady just now.

Let the disciple see his majestic side, and the old face was a little embarrassed.

Quickly changed the subject:

"Minato, why are you here!"

"You just came back not long ago, you should have a good rest."

Jiraiya picked up a glass of cold water on the table and took a big sip.

There are corresponding people on duty in the camp, so take a good rest when it's time to rest.

Otherwise, you have to find one person for everything big or small, and even a tough guy won't be able to bear it.

"teacher!"

"It's still the same battlefield at noon, and an extremely powerful thunder escape just suddenly appeared."

"The power should be very huge, appearing almost instantly and disappearing instantly."

Namikaze Minato looked serious and spoke solemnly.

When it came to business, Jiraiya immediately returned to his seriousness and asked solemnly:

"Except for the ninja who was sent to investigate and returned injured due to the explosion, are there any others who have returned?"

Because of the explosion, many Konoha ninjas who went to explore suffered severe burns on their bodies.

There were even ninjas who went blind because they looked directly at the bright light of the explosion.

"No one has returned yet, except for those who returned in the afternoon."

Namikaze Minato shook his head, his voice heavy.

"Where are Aoki and the others?"

"I gave them orders to collect battle traces along the way."

"He's around there, he should know something."

Jiraiya put down the glass of water he had finished drinking.

He thought of Aoki and others who were sent by him to carry out the order.

"Teacher, I have contacted the subordinates who came from the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind to support us."

"They said Aoki went to explore the direction of the mushroom cloud and has not returned yet."

When that thunder pillar appeared.

He used psychic techniques to contact the Konoha ninjas who were near the battlefield and were supported by the Kingdom of Congfeng.

These ninjas have collected all the battle information about the two strong men along the way.

They are waiting for the return of Aoki and his disciples at the agreed place.

"Is that so..."

Jiraiya looked thoughtful, and then said solemnly:

"Minato, that battlefield is very dangerous."

"There will be many hostile ninjas coming to investigate."

"I'd better trouble you to go and bring those genin back."

Jiraiya never mentioned Aoki again.

Because I can't contact the other party, there is a high probability that something happened.

The top priority now is to bring back those weak middle genin.

As for the investigation, he would leave it to other ninjas.

"Don't worry, teacher!"

"I will bring those people back safely."

After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Ugh!"

Jiraiya had a complicated expression on his face and sighed softly.

He was very satisfied and proud of Namikaze Minato as his disciple.

But the more this happened, the more he felt that he was incompetent as a teacher.

This time, in order to blow up the Kannabi Bridge, his disciple's disciple stayed there forever.

'Minato must feel very uncomfortable. '

'But this is war, anyone can die, including you and me...'

'I hope you can become Hokage as you wish. '

Basically, his disciples single-handedly ended the Earth Kingdom battlefield.

Not only did they blow up the Kannabi Bridge, they also cut off Iwagakure's supply line.

He also instantly killed dozens of rock ninjas, including many jounin.

Information transmitted through spies planted in Iwagakure;

His disciple has been called "Yellow Flash" by the Iwa Ninja;

There was even an order to abandon the mission midway if a "yellow flash" was encountered during the mission.

These actions of the Iwa Ninja all showed that he was very afraid of his disciple's strength.

His disciple Minato Namikaze has truly grown up.

In terms of strength, he already has the qualifications to become Hokage.

Coupled with the meritorious service performed on the battlefield;

With the support of himself and his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, he has great hope of becoming the Fourth Hokage.

Jiraiya thought of the secret message his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi sent to him not long ago;

The above vaguely expresses the idea that the teacher will abdicate and prefer Minato Namikaze to be the next generation Hokage.

He naturally agreed with his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.

As for why he wanted to abdicate, he knew it very well.

It’s nothing more than three years of war;

As the Hokage, the teacher never appeared on the battlefield even once.

Compared with the Kage who fought bravely on the battlefield in other ninja villages, it is really a bit unjustifiable.

"The teacher may have something to hide..."

Jiraiya didn't want to believe that his teacher didn't go to the battlefield because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

In his heart, he instinctively found an excuse for Sarutobi Hiruzen to comfort himself.
