"On the other hand, as for your question about Shimura Danzo.

“However, it is just a specific extension of the overall arrangement.

"We need to have a big framework first, so that we can decide how to deal with domestic threats accordingly."

Here, following the narration of the cunning Monkey, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The words are finished.

Before he knew it, Sasuke's entire back was soaked with sweat.

He and Master Gama kept saying all day that they wanted to bring stability and peace to the entire ninja world.

But in Hou Jue's mouth, it was just some slogans.

When it really comes to decision-making, people really act arbitrarily based on their emotions.

Take myself for example. The reason why I refused to let Jiraiya go to the Hidden Rain Village was entirely out of concern for my master's life.

but

"Then, sir, do you have any good ideas regarding future combat plans?"

Uchiha Sasuke thought it over and asked in a deep voice.

“It requires a lot of intelligence as a basis.”

The cunning monkey said lightly.

After a pause, he said half-jokingly:

"What? Are you planning to formally invite me to join the Konoha Cabinet?"

"Personally, Mr. has long been one of my most trusted cabinet members."

Uchiha Sasuke said seriously.

Then, without waiting for the cunning monkey to speak, Sasuke once again said seriously:

“Just now, I was indeed too impatient.

“Now, I have completely understood Mr.’s intention.

"But what I want to say is that if Jiraiya dies, then it doesn't matter to me if I sit on the Hokage throne.

"Please help me persuade him."

This time, it was finally the turn of the cunning monkey to be stunned.

Yes, I have been immersed in the rational world for too long.

But we also forget that for human beings, there are always some emotions and bonds that are precious and transcend everything else.

"I understand."

The cunning monkey nodded silently and said:

"lead the way."

"Is it this close?"

"Well, we live together."

As he was speaking, Uchiha Sasuke led the cunning monkey Kai to the study in the Hokage's house.

Inside the house, Jiraiya was frowning and once again holding the intelligence document from Kakuzu and reading it over and over again.

"Why is it taking so long?

"Um?!"

Jiraiya looked up as he heard Sasuke come in, complaining.

However, Jiraiya looked quite shocked when he saw the cunning monkey Kiku following behind Sasuke.

"Let me introduce you. This is my spiritual beast. Uh, it's not a traditional fighting type. It's Mr. Tricky Monkey Orange."

Uchiha Sasuke started to introduce, then turned to Houju and said:

"Sir, this is my mentor, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya."

"What a joke!

"Aren't you called Da Sheye?"

On this side, after seeing Jiraiya's appearance clearly, the cunning monkey Jie also showed a very shocked expression.

"Sly Monkey?!

"You actually would serve as a spiritual beast for others??!"

At the same time, Jiraiya also shouted loudly.

"what?

"Do you guys know each other?"

Uchiha Sasuke was startled and asked.

"Humph, it's more than just acquaintance."

The cunning monkey snorted coldly.

"Do not!

"do not know!

"Of course we don't know each other!"

Without waiting for Hou Jie to speak, Jiraiya immediately interrupted him.

At the same time, Jiraiya desperately winked at Hou Jie, begging the other party to give him some face.

When Uchiha Sasuke saw this, he already understood in his heart that the two of them had indeed had some intersection.

It seems that both of them are characters who move around in the ninja world all year round.

It's not too strange that they have dealt with each other.

However, looking at the look on Master Toad's face, I'm afraid that what happened back then was probably not very glorious.

"I never thought that the fifth Hokage of the dignified Konohagakure would be a ridiculous fellow like you.

“This world is really ridiculous.”

The cunning monkey squinted his eyes, sneered and said sarcastically:

"No wonder the current Konoha is still the same as before.

"The government's orders are unclear and it's a mess!"

"Um, Sasuke, you just asked me to wait.

"Now you invite this monkey brother over again, what's the matter?"

Jiraiya pretended not to hear Houju's sarcasm and turned to ask Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke came to his senses immediately after hearing this, and hurriedly said respectfully to the cunning monkey:

"Mr. Houju, please."

No matter what conflicts you two had in the past, they are not as important as this matter.

In short, it doesn't look like there is any deep hatred.

Here, the cunning monkey sighed and muttered to himself:

"I really owe you both."

Then he raised his head again and spoke directly to Jiraiya:

"I said, you can't go to the Rain Village."

Is it so direct?

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke was shocked.

I thought Hou Jie would use some clever method, but I didn't expect him to open his mouth so stiffly.

Here, hearing this topic again, Jiraiya suddenly became serious.

He looked at the cunning monkey majestically and said:

"Give me a reason."

"The successor is too weak."

The cunning monkey replied immediately.

Pretty.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

This is no longer a question of whether it is stiff or not.

I treated you politely and invited you over here courteously, and you attacked me personally?

"If you leave, or die there, Konoha will be in chaos."

The cunning monkey's tone was flat and emotionless, but every word was heart-piercing.

After these words were spoken, Uchiha Sasuke and his disciple fell into an awkward silence.

"I say, Sasuke is still standing over there."

Jiraiya looked embarrassed and said half-jokingly:

"No matter what, you are still his psychic partner. Have you forgotten that?"

"Of course I didn't forget it.

"Also, I remember that Uchiha Sasuke is not a foolish guy who only likes to hear nice words."

Here, the cunning monkey said calmly:

"The Hidden Leaf Village is in danger. Is this the time to worry about these things?"

“Yes, Sasuke is not an arrogant person, but there is no need to be overly humble.

"No matter what, it's ridiculous to describe him as 'weak'."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice:

“Judging from his past battle results, his strength is probably no less than mine.

"As for age, when the Fourth Hokage took the throne, he wasn't much older than him.

"Besides, before I leave, I will make arrangements and explicitly propose that he take over the position of the Sixth Hokage."

Here, it was the first time that Uchiha Sasuke heard his master say this.

I couldn't help feeling mixed emotions in my heart.

“The difference between a successor and an actual controller.

"A few words make a world of difference."

The cunning monkey looked sharp and said:

“If you weren’t nearby, he might not have been able to become Hokage.

"Even if he succeeds, he won't be able to truly control this huge machine of Konoha."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's expression changed slightly.

As the fifth Hokage, he knew very well how deep the gap was between his ascension to the throne and his actual control of power, and how much effort he had put in during this period.

As one of the three great ninjas, his own reputation is far beyond what Uchiha Sasuke can currently compare to.

"Strength is not Sasuke's biggest problem right now."

The words of the cunning monkey continued.

After a pause, he added:

“In fact, age is not Sasuke’s biggest problem.

"At present, all of Uchiha Sasuke's military exploits were achieved outside of Konoha by single-soldier assaults.

“It’s a marked difference from the Fourth Hokage’s brilliance on the battlefield.

"Even if you believe in him, others may not believe in him.

"They would only explain away the hard facts by belittling Akatsuki's strength or Orochimaru's intelligence.

"You know, the stupid majority only believe what they see with their own eyes."

"What do you think?"

Jiraiya asked.

It can be seen that because the two had known each other before, Jiraiya still recognized Hou Jie's knowledge.

"In my opinion, Akatsuki's attack is the best thing that can happen.

"I will beat your Konoha half to death, and help him, so that I can show off my power in front of others."

"Monkey Orange!"

Before the cunning monkey could finish his words, Uchiha Sasuke's face changed drastically and he immediately shouted at him.

On the side, Jiraiya's originally calm expression also became very gloomy.

"Mr. Houju, I know you have never had a good impression of Konoha.

"However, if you say this kind of thing in front of me again, please go back."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

"Don't like to hear it?

"That's it, it's still the best case scenario!"

The cunning monkey sneered and said:

"Can Uchiha Sasuke single-handedly fend off several ninjas of equal strength?

"Orochimaru, the Fourth Raikage, two Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, and one Jinchūriki of Sound-gakure.

"That's not even counting the potential threats from Iwagakure and Akatsuki.

"Compared to that, what do you have left in Konoha, or rather, your Wind, Fire and Water Alliance?!"

Although the cunning monkey's words were harsh, every word hit the nail on the head for Jiraiya.

After a few words, Jiraiya just felt a pain in the nerves in his head.

However, Hou Jue had not finished speaking.

"At the moment, the reason why the other party has not yet completed the battle is simply that they have not yet figured out your Konoha's background and capital.

"But if you leave, believe it or not, they will come knocking on your door the next day?"

Jiraiya lowered his head, thinking about what the cunning monkey had said, and remained silent.

"Let's talk about Uchiha Sasuke.

"Let me ask you, among the six major families in Konoha, which one has he taken over now?

“Who would risk his life to protect his position as Hokage? Is there any family that would regard Uchiha Sasuke’s interests as their own, just like Ino-Shika-Chou did to the Third Hokage?

“Although elite jonin like Kakashi are willing to assist him, how many of them truly believe in him, rely on him, and are willing to regard him as a leader?

"As for the scoundrels in the village, now they only know that he is the Hokage's beloved disciple and don't recognize Uchiha Sasuke!

"Tell me, what's wrong with what I said about lacking an opportunity to 'show off in public'?"

After saying these words, the cunning monkey Jie hunched over, put his hands behind his back, and looked proudly at the Fifth Hokage in front of him.

To be honest, Uchiha Sasuke himself has not thought about the issues mentioned by Hou Jie in such a systematic way.

On the other side, Jiraiya also looked troubled and was obviously struggling in his heart.

I just feel that since I became the Hokage, all the happiness and freedom are gradually leaving me.

The world is so big, but in such a small space, we are always entangled in trivial matters and have no freedom.

"Then just wait like this?"

After a long while, Jiraiya asked through gritted teeth.

I just felt very depressed.

"of course not."

The cunning monkey glanced at Uchiha Sasuke beside him and did not forget his original responsibility.

He slowed down his tone and spoke to Jiraiya again:

“What you were arguing about before was nothing more than which crisis was more urgent.

"Right now, Akatsuki and Shimura Danzo are holding two bombs in their hands at the same time. I don't know which one to deal with first, right?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke and Jiraiya looked at each other, then nodded silently.

This metaphor may be crude, but it's true.

Beside my ears, the cunning monkey's voice sounded again:

“My advice is, don’t judge.

"Just take the initiative to smash one!"

October 3rd, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

The first round of the Chunin Exam has passed.

Compared to the strictness of previous years, more than half of the ninjas this year successfully passed the preliminary test, totaling nearly two hundred people.

However, most of them are mature ninjas who have been stuck in the position of Genin for many years.

A group of fellow ninjas, including Uzumaki Naruto, also entered the next stage very smoothly.

Root organization's underground base, Danzo's room.

In the light of the candle, Danzo Shimura was sitting there.

The person crawling at his feet was Sai.

".In September of the sixty-fourth year of Konoha, during the second stage of the Chunin Exam, in the Forest of Death, Uchiha Sasuke summoned a summoning beast for the first time, an old monkey.";

"In the same year, during the preliminaries, facing Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Sasuke used 'Fire Style: Flame Armor' at the last moment.

"Based on the on-site video footage, it's clear that he suddenly learned it at the last minute. It's like he suddenly became a different person."

"According to Uzumaki Naruto, the entire process of Uchiha Sasuke becoming Jiraiya's apprentice was entirely initiated by Sasuke unilaterally, and the specific process is unknown.";

"The weapon in Uchiha Sane's possession, the 'Kusanagi Sword·Moon Shadow', came from Granny Cat's weapon shop and is worth over one million taels. The source of this huge sum of money is unknown.";

"There is not much information about the coup in Kirigakure. Not much is known about Yamanaka Ino and Uzumaki Naruto, who are relatively easy to get to know.

“On the other hand, Nara Shikamaru and Kimimaro were on high alert and were unable to find out any useful information.

"But what is certain is that it was Uchiha Sasuke who first proposed to help Mei Terumi, rather than the Kirigakure officials at that time."

“Since then, Uchiha Sasuke has begun a long period of solo operations, and very little information can be collected.

"above."

Sai finished his report.

He raised his head and stared at Shimura Danzo silently.
