Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"Why are you pushing for this kind of thing? The old man has mentioned it several times."

"It's because you haven't trained any talents for the village."

Yanagishita rolled his eyes at Jiraiya. Orochimaru accepted Nawaki, and although Tsunade did not formally accept a disciple, she trained countless medical ninjas. Moreover, to some extent, Yanagishita was also trained by Tsunade.

On the other hand, Jiraiya, who is also one of the Three Ninjas, would run around everywhere looking for the Child of Prophecy under the pretext of traveling around the Ninja World to look for materials. He had neither a partner nor a disciple. The Third Hokage was very worried that he would be destined to be alone!

Jiraiya scratched the back of his head awkwardly and laughed dryly: "Haha, well, it seems so, but I already have a candidate spot!"

Yanagishita asked suspiciously, "Oh? Are you talking about Minato Namikaze?"

"Hey, you know Minato too?" Jiraiya seemed a little surprised.

"Yeah. He and Kushina are classmates and I've met them a few times before." Yanagishita felt some complicated emotions when he recalled the hedgehog-haired boy.

"How about it, not bad, right? I think he will definitely become the pillar of the village." Jiraiya looked at Yanagi with a proud look on his face.

"Indeed, he is a good candidate who is worth training. If he can acquire the appropriate ninjutsu, he might be able to surpass you, Brother Jiraiya."

Although Yanagishita had some opinions about Minato, it was only because of Kushina.

Yanagishita admitted that Minato's ability and potential were actually quite good and he was very dedicated to his duties in the village, but unfortunately he ultimately failed his family.

Jiraiya sighed: "You can say that too. Actually, I found him on the battlefield before, but I couldn't find his family, so I had to bring him back to Konoha. I didn't expect that he would become my disciple right away."

Jiraiya sighed: "You can say that too. Actually, I found him on the battlefield before, but I couldn't find his family, so I had to bring him back to Konoha. I didn't expect that he would become my disciple right away."

"Then Brother Jiraiya, do you still want a disciple? Just tell me and I'll send one to you right away." Liu Xia said half-jokingly.

"Oh, yes, who are you going to recommend? I won't accept ordinary people." Jiraiya asked curiously. Since Yanagishta knew that he was going to accept Minato and was planning to recommend him to him, it might be a surprise.

"Are you talking about Yahiko, Konan and Nagato? I thought you were going to take them with you yourself." Jiraiya recalled the three children from the Rain Country.

"I'm not even an adult myself, how can I take care of others?"

Liu Xia responded half-jokingly, he actually thought Jiraiya had done a good job in training his apprentice in the original time and space, and it would be a good choice to continue to let Jiraiya train him.

"So you want to give them to me?"

Jiraiya thought of the three people he had met before. They were all newcomers with great potential, especially Nagato. He always felt a special feeling from him.

"Yes, that's what I think. Brother Jiraiya, you must be good at teaching your disciples!" Liu Xia said half flatteringly and half seriously.

Jiraiya was indeed very good at training his disciples in the original time and space, and all his disciples became successful.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are a good judge of vision. If they are willing, I will accept them."

Standing in front of the gate of Konohagakure Village, Ye Cang's mood was complicated and deep. This place was both familiar and strange to her. Facing the same gate, she knew that her situation and mood had changed drastically.

"I didn't expect they would arrange for you to come to Konoha. I thought they would arrange for Garuru to come." Liuxia stopped and looked at Ye Cang who didn't say a word.

"What? I'm not welcome?"

Ye Cang raised her head, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in her eyes. Since the long talk with Jialuo Luo late at night, her attitude towards Liuxia has become much calmer, but when she heard such words, she couldn't help but feel a little entangled.

"No, you are welcome to do so. It's just that you are not in good health, so I didn't expect it."

Liuxia realized that he seemed to have said something taboo and quickly comforted Ye Cang.

"It was just an accident! Now, let's finish our business, there's still a lot of things to do in the Sand Village!"

Ye Cang blushed as she finished speaking, then turned around and strode forward. However, her steps were quickly stopped by two insignificant gatekeepers of Konoha.

"No surprise, you two. This is Miss Ye Cang, the Sand Village messenger I brought with me. I have just gone to inform the Third Hokage."

Yanagishita quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Cang, and explained the situation to the guards.

"Lord Liuxia! Since you brought it here, there must be no problem! Please come in!" The guard's attitude changed immediately and he respectfully made way.

"Okay..thank you. Ye Cang, let's go."

Yanagishita nodded to the guard, then turned to Ye Cang and motioned for her to continue.

"I didn't expect Lord Liuxia to come back so early." One of the guards whispered.

"Yes, the youngest candidate for Hokage. I heard from my eldest cousin that Lord Yanagi is most likely to become the youngest Hokage!" Another person also joined the discussion.

"This gentleman seems to be very close to that beautiful lady from Sunagakure."

"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. Moreover, our Lord Liuxia is so handsome. If I were a woman, I would like him too."

...

"Uncle Sandai."

"The Third Hokage-sama!"

Yanagishita and Hagura walked into the Hokage's office building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and saw Yanagishita and Yekura, with a gentle smile on his face: "Yagishita, you are back. You have completed the mission well this time."

He greeted Yanagishita with a smile, then turned to Yekura with a look of approval in his eyes: "You are Yekura from Sunagakure, right? Your performance in the Chunin Exam is still fresh in my mind. You are a child with great potential."

"Third Hokage, this is the official handover document of our Sand Village. I hand it to you on behalf of the Sand Village."

Ye Cang took out a document from the sealed scroll behind her, and her movements were respectful and cautious as she handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Very good. It is a great blessing for the ninja world that Sand Village and Konoha can reconcile after going through so much hardship."

The Third Hokage took the document, his eyes revealing his cherishment for peace, and handed it to the Anbu beside him, continuing to speak in an official tone.

"Then Hokage-sama, our Kazekage-sama, several elders, and the ninjas of Sunagakure...?"

"Of course, of course. Since we live in peace, after the Konoha celebration is over, the people from your village will naturally go back. I'm sure you don't want to miss this grand ceremony." The Third Hokage gently twirled his beard and answered with a smile.

"Celebration? Uncle Sanda, when did we have so many celebrations in Konoha recently?" Liuxia seemed a little surprised. He was curious about this sudden celebration.

"You didn't have it before, but now you have it. Your Hokage Succession Celebration!"
