People are in Hokage, one person at a time

"This time we screened a total of 120 people, including Senju Nawase. There are a total of four people who can be called wedge targets. However, based on the actual situation, I'm afraid that only Senju Nawase will survive the first round of screening."

Inside the house, Goshin Koji carefully reported all the information to Isshiki, but Isshiki was not interested in Goshin Koji's unusual attention to Jiraiya and the details of the battle.

For Isshiki, confirming Senju Nawaki as Ashura is the key. Although Isshiki himself looks down on the two bastards of the Six Paths Sage who only have chakra left and not much self-consciousness, if the reincarnation of this generation of Ashura is not Senju Nawaki, does it mean that Senju is no longer the first choice for Ashura?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Forget it since you can't bring it back. Anyway, it's just a matter of confirmation in advance. Sometimes it's quite boring to figure out the protagonist of a story before it even begins. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Layman. The selection of the wedge will be decided by you and Dr. Amado."

"In that case, I won't disturb your rest."

Goshinji turned around and left for Amado's laboratory. As Goshinji's mother, after the battle with Goshinji, Jiraiya did not dare to slack off and rushed back to Konoha with Rope Tree at a high speed.

Originally, Jiraiya was quite confident in his own strength and ability to accept things. He even accepted Nagato, who possessed the Sage's Eye, as his disciple without batting an eye. In addition, he had been busy on the front line of saving the world (collecting materials) for many years. What kind of storms and waves had Jiraiya not experienced?

But this time Jiraiya was really scared. Human experiments, cloning or some other weird things. In short, ever since Danzo became a rebel ninja, walking in the ninja world has become an extremely challenging job. Even his own clone was made. What did Danzo want to do? Rely on the technology of human experiments to secretly replace or establish a new Konoha?

Anyway, Jiraiya knew nothing about human experiments, but judging from the other party's performance, he didn't feel any pressure at all when it came to replacing his own name!

It wouldn't matter if something unexpected happened to me, but what if Danzo had clones of other people in his hands?

Jiraiya broke out in cold sweats at the thought that Konoha might have been infiltrated by Danzo. It would take about eight hours to reach Konoha from the border of Hot Spring Country even by thunder chariot, but with Jiraiya's full efforts, in less than five hours, Konoha Village, which had completed the second round of expansion, appeared before their eyes.

During the time of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha Village was at most a small town with a permanent population of about 150,000. However, after many reforms, according to statistics, the current permanent population of Konoha has almost quadrupled from its original level.

Although its population density is not as high as that of the Fire Country's capital, if the floating population is taken into account, Konoha is undoubtedly the second largest city in the Fire Country today.

"The last time I left, the village wasn't yet..."

Scratching his head, Sheng Shu didn't know how to describe it.

"Is it really appropriate to call it a village now?"

"What's inappropriate? Anyway, Konoha is Konoha. It doesn't make much difference whether it's called a village or a city. Let's go to Minato first. We actually ran into such a thing this time. It seems that this immortal must do something!"

Jiraiya laughed twice and felt relieved. Although he was known as the number one playboy in the ninja world, he also had a family before becoming a playboy.

After saying hello to the two gate gods who had just been transferred back from the Sand Village, Jiraiya entered the village and went straight to the Hokage's office building.

Minato was not at all surprised at the arrival of his mentor, but he had not yet revealed any information about the Otsutsuki clan to his mentor. Jiraiya's mention of Danzo's conspiracy really made Minato feel choked.

What do you mean by Danzo's conspiracy? Didn't Qingyuan spend more than three years to completely kill Danzo? Even his soul was sent to the Pure Land by Qingyuan himself. In this situation, he can still do something. Teacher, do you think too highly of Danzo?

But if you think about Danzo's style of doing things, although Danzo's own ability is a little bit lacking, when it comes to the ability to disgust people, he is very strong.

The Second Hokage agreed with this. When he received the news from the Anbu, he had planned to come over to supervise Nawaki. He didn't expect to hear such news as soon as he arrived. Although this was most likely due to technology leakage or simply part of Danzo's plan, considering the cost of artificial humans and the extremely high mortality rate, no matter who inherited Danzo's legacy, the other party would not have the strength to carry out what Jiraiya was worried about.

The reason why Jiraiya was successfully recreated as the second generation was that he doubted whether it was because Jiraiya himself did not possess any special bloodline or bloodline limit. However, although the second generation himself was also a freak of wit, considering the stability of the village's high-end combat power, the second generation did not directly say such words that were not conducive to unity.

If Qingyuan was here, he would probably give everyone a completely different answer, something like Master Otsutsuki Isshiki has returned to the arena, the eye legend has ended, and the next era is the era of tattoos and collapse. It's just the appearance of a Jiraiya clone, even if the other party is involved with the traitorous Toad Clan of Myoboku Mountain, but what's the use?

All the fear in this world actually stems from insufficient firepower. Today's Konoha has Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju, the complete three ninjas of Konoha, as well as Mangekyō-level combat forces such as Konoha Raiga Kakashi, the hot-blooded youth Might Guy, the double blood limit Mei Terumi, the ninja swordsman Manzuki, the evil eyes Fugaku and Uchiha Obito.

Even further down, there are the third generation of combat forces since the reform of Konoha, such as Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Mitarashi Anko and Gekko Hayate.

Even if you tie the other major ninja villages together, the high-end combat power that can influence the battlefield is probably not as much as Konoha's. In this situation, let alone the leader is a super combination of Namikaze Minato + Senju Tobirama + Uchiha Kiyogen, even if you let Konoha F4 come back to power and pull Danzo out of the Pure Land...

Well, it’s hard to say.

Maybe it's because the Uchiha flavor is too strong. Kill the Uchiha first, and then take advantage of this juncture for Shimura Danzo to make another attempt to become Hokage. In this way, no matter how good the situation is, it won't be able to hold on, right?
