Chapter 327 Danzo’s Problem

“What about that day?

“She is the only one left in Teacher Kai’s third class.

"It's a good time to join us, isn't it?"

"Don't mention it."

After hearing Sasuke's suggestion, Uzumaki Naruto looked even more listless.

He just waved his hands feebly and replied:

“I just came over from Tiantian.

“She has now successfully teamed up with Ino and Choji, taking Shikamaru’s place.

"Among us, Sakura and I are the only ones left without a place to go."

Here, Uzumaki Naruto leaned on the railing in frustration, looking helplessly at Konohamaru and the other two running in the playground, saying:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of Konohamaru, my junior.

"It's all my fault for coming back too late. If I had come back a few days earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"Don't worry, this is not an unsolvable problem."

Uchiha Sasuke was also leaning on the railing nearby, and he patted Naruto's shoulder and comforted him.

"Eh? That's right!"

On the side, Naruto seemed to remember something and shouted:

"Among Konohamaru's class, are there any other guys you think are not idiots?

"You are now the leading jonin, so you should be more clear about it.

"never mind!

"I'd better go straight to Iruka-sensei!"

As he spoke, Uzumaki Naruto jumped up excitedly again and was about to leave immediately.

"Hey!"

Uchiha Sasuke quickly called him and said:

“The situation in the village now is different from what it was back then.

"We are now in the period of preparation for war, and now is the time to actively encourage these Genin.

"The document has been sent out, and it clearly states that all Genin who meet the requirements should try to apply for the exam.

"Even if Iruka-sensei told you who was better, they were just a group of three.

"Newbies are the least likely to be left alone, so don't waste your energy."

"ah

"Then, what should I do?"

After hearing what Uchiha Sasuke said, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly became like a deflated ball, and his whole body wilted again.

"I say, there's no need for you to look like an abandoned dog."

Uchiha Sasuke was a little helpless.

He thought for a moment and spoke again:

“Alas, for this kind of thing, you should go directly to Master Toad.

"He knows better than anyone which Genin is still alone in the village."

In Sasuke's opinion, when it comes to forming a team for an exam, the priority is to find familiar ninjas.

However, if none of the classmates can find a suitable candidate.

Well, actually, just pick any one.

Konoha, Hokage Building, in Hokage's office.

Jiraiya, dressed in the Hokage's divine robe, was sitting alone behind the desk at this moment.

He was seen with his head down, staring intently at an intelligence document in his hand.

Jiraiya's expression looked very solemn at this moment, with his eyebrows tightly twisted together.

An indescribable gloom gradually gathered between his originally relaxed brows.

The contents of the file are as follows:

Latest news about Akatsuki organization

Key information: Taki Country was destroyed, and all the ninjas of Takigakure Ninja Village were wiped out.

Release time: September 17, the 65th year of Konoha

Intelligence details: According to the survivors, the enemies were three ninjas wearing black robes with red auspicious clouds embroidered on them.

This is speculated based on eyewitness descriptions and on-site investigations.

These three ninjas from the Akatsuki organization are Hoshigaki Kisame and the 'Sand Explosion Duo' (Gaara and Deidara).

At present, the Takigakure Ninja Village has been completely razed to the ground.

The situation at the scene is extremely tragic, and relevant pictures and materials will be delivered later.

Note: The intelligence source is reliable and on-site confirmation has been completed.

Special note: The body of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was not found at the scene. We speculate that the Seven-Tails has most likely been captured by the Akatsuki organization.

Intelligence source: Konohagakure Village West Front Military Intelligence Unit

Reporting by: Aburame Shiwei

Following this latest intelligence report, relevant information one after another flew through Jiraiya's mind.

Gradually sort out and mix them together.

——"The purpose of Akatsuki is to collect all the tailed beasts and monopolize all wars.

"Then, with the help of the power of the nine tailed beasts, the conquest of the entire ninja world was achieved";

——"During the stalemate between Orochimaru and the Hidden Mist Village, the Akatsuki organization stepped in, eliminated the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and captured him";

——"Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, defected and joined the evil Akatsuki organization, becoming one of its members";

——"The Kumogakure Ninja Village and Orochimaru reached an alliance, known as the 'Razer Alliance'";

——"Behind the war to destroy the Sand Village is a war commission from the Land of Earth.";

One tail, two tails, three tails, four tails

Information about the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki and its distribution in the Ninja World also flashed through Jiraiya's mind one by one.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Jiraiya's consciousness, and he sat up involuntarily.

Currently, Akatsuki has acquired three tailed beasts or Jinchūriki.

Of the remaining six tailed beasts, two are in the Land of Lightning, two are in the Land of Earth, one is in the hands of Orochimaru, and the last one is Uzumaki Naruto.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's eyes became more worried.

He just leaned back heavily.

The backrest of the Hokage chair, which was originally considered sturdy, couldn't help but let out a heavy "creaking" sigh.

Jiraiya lay in his seat with his head tilted back, covering his face with the documents in his hand to block out the light from his vision.

The internal structure of the village and the changes in the external ninja world.

Too much internal and external pressure made Jiraiya feel an indescribable depression.

Maybe it's because the document on his face is too heavy.

Jiraiya now really felt physically short of breath.

At this moment, he just wanted to relax for a while.

If it weren't for the deep love he had for Konoha and peace, he would really want to abandon everything now.

He went straight to the pub, found a few pretty girls, and had a great time drinking and having fun together for three days.

"Bang bang bang-"

A dull knock sounded outside the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya was once again forcibly pulled back to reality.

Although he felt unhappy, he still shouted "Come in".

The door opened and the sound of a wooden cane hitting the ground slowly rang out in the house.

Jiraiya quickly removed the paper from his face.

When he sat up again, he saw that the person coming was Danzo Shimura.

"Well?

"long time no see."

Jiraiya remained calm on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.

When facing political enemies, one must always present an image of being energetic and having a strong fighting will.

But I never thought that Danzo Shimura, who had not visited for a long time, would choose to come in at this time.

I couldn't help feeling a little regretful that I had let this guy see my weak side.

"Is there a problem?"

At this time, Danzo Shimura had slowly moved to the center of the room.

Jiraiya didn't stand up either, but just leaned back in his chair and looked at the other person lazily.

"You've heard about what happened in Takigakure Ninja Village, right?"

Shimura Danzo stopped, holding his cane in his hand, and asked in a gloomy tone.

"Humph, you are well-informed."

Jiraiya was slightly startled, as he had just received the news that the other party had come to him for this.

It seems that the intelligence system in Danzo's hands is even more efficient than his own.

“Right now, the peace of the entire ninja world is at stake.

"In the ninja world, my Konohagakure Ninja Village is the last bulwark of justice.

"In this situation, you and I should put aside our differences and unite as one.

"It's about working together."

On this side, Danzo Shimura had a blank expression on his face. He looked directly at the Hokage opposite him and spoke in a calm tone.

"Not bad, Danzo.

"This is the first time I've heard you say something decent.

"Ivory is coming out of a dog's mouth."

Jiraiya grinned, not believing the other party's words at all.

"I know you don't trust me."

Here, Shimura Danzo stepped forward, took out a resume from his arms, placed it on Jiraiya's desk, and said:

"But me, and the Root organization that I control.

"The desire to contribute to Konoha is a fact that no one can deny."

"What do you mean?"

Jiraiya glanced at the documents Danzo put up, then looked up and asked in a cold voice.

I was secretly wondering what conspiracy Danzo was up to.

"This young man named Sai is an outstanding leader among my men.

"He is still young and has a clean background. His strength is beyond words."

On this side, Shimura Danzo's voice was heard in a low voice, slowly saying:

“Now, I want to officially hand him over to you.

"The specific arrangement can be decided by you according to the needs of the village."

"Danzo, you haven't woken up yet, have you?"

Jiraiya didn't even look at the resume that Danzo handed over.

As for those high-sounding reasons and words, Jiraiya refused to believe even a single punctuation mark.

How could Jiraiya not see through such an obvious act of "burying chess pieces and adding sand"?

“I know you don’t trust me.

"But the current situation in the ninja world does not allow us to continue fighting among ourselves.

"Sai is just the first gift I use to show my sincerity.

"The final gift is nearly fifty elite ninjas from the Root Organization.

“I am very clear about the principle that if the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached.

“You and I just have different political views.

"But as for Konoha's sincere heart, I think it should be the same."

When Jiraiya heard this, he was speechless for a long time.

In my heart, I couldn't help but feel even more curious about what Shimura Danzo was planning.

Jiraiya reached out and picked up the resume on the table.

In the upper right corner of the resume is a photo of the boy named "Sai".

At first glance, his eyebrows were quite similar to his beloved disciple Uchiha Sasuke.

Continuing to look down, one can see this person's various strength indicators and the introduction of related secret techniques -

This is indeed a rare talent.

To be honest, if he was harboring hostility in his heart, Danzo's move was too direct and too obvious.

But on the other hand, it was precisely because it was too obvious that Jiraiya felt a little shaken.

Could it be that this old guy has really changed his personality as he said?

Not long ago, Nara Shikamaru's theory that "the existence of external enemy threats will greatly promote internal unity" once again echoed in Jiraiya's mind.

"I know you don't trust me. So, regarding Sai's placement, you can put him anywhere you want.

"I believe that with his ability, he can contribute to Konoha's cause in any position."

Here, Danzo's gloomy voice continued to narrate.

Jiraiya looked at Danzo Shimura in front of him suspiciously, and after a while, he just said lightly, "I know."

Seeing that Jiraiya did not clearly object, Shimura Danzo nodded.

Then he used his crutches again and walked out step by step.

What on earth is this man planning?

Jiraiya stared closely at Shimura Danzo's back, quickly speculating on all the possibilities in his mind.

Judging from what Danzo said, he even intends to donate the entire "Root" organization free of charge.

However, the ideological seal accepted by the members of the Root organization is probably more powerful than the Will of Fire or even the "Bird in a Cage" of the Hyuga clan.

In fact, speaking only of the direction of "controlling people's hearts", the Root organization's ideas are so extreme and powerful that it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best in the entire Konoha.

Therefore, as long as Danzo is alive, Konoha's digestion and absorption of the entire "Root" organization will always be just a mirage and a castle in the air.

"By the way, Hokage-sama."

When he reached the door, Danzo stopped again, turned around and asked:

"Tell me, is there any ninjutsu in this world?

"Can one person's soul be placed into another person's body?"

Here, Jiraiya was stunned, not knowing what Danzo meant.

Then, Danzo actually smiled, which was rare.

He pretended to be chatting and said:

“Now that I’m older, I want to develop some new ninjutsu to stay in the world.

"Hokage-sama traveled the world when he was young. I'm sure you saw many strange things."

"You mean, a ninjutsu similar to the 'transformation jutsu'?"

Jiraiya answered subconsciously.

“It needs to last longer.”
