Heroes of Konoha

Next to the clear spring in the forest.

Sarutobi finally caught Jiraiya. The beautiful scenery of several energetic young girls happily playing in the water with each other was helplessly gone. A pair of white-headed master and apprentice sat and talked.

"You brat, if I don't come to you, won't you come to see me?"

"Aha, old man, I have seen your face countless times. See you again after many years. You are even older."

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for so many years. But when you returned to Konoha, you didn't come to see me. Are you still my disciple of Sarutobi?"

"Your old man's face will only get older and older. It will only become more and more ugly in a few decades. I'm not interested. In comparison, women are different. They were still little girls before I left. Now she has become a pure and lovely girl. As for the girls before leaving, each of them has now become a sexy and charming mature woman. This kind of beautiful scenery full of fresh tension, many years later, I am about to It’s a good time to experience it again, hahaha.”

Jiraiya said with a nonchalant smile, Sarutobi took a breath of cigarette and sighed.

"Jiraiya, I haven't seen you for many years, and you're still the same."

"Old man, do you really have the right to say that to me? You refuse to teach me how to use a telescope, but you hold a crystal ball all day long and use it to spy on people. If I had the ability to use a telescope, a young girl, a mature beauty, Bathhouses and hot springs”

Jiraiya fell into an excited imagination, Sarutobi also blushed silently, and a lot of wrinkles on his face loosened.

As expected of master and apprentice, they are the same as each other. After greeting each other for the first time, it’s time to get down to business.

Sarutobi came to Jiraiya with an important purpose, but seeing Jiraiya's unruly look, he felt that things would not go well.

"Jiraiya, regarding the matter of the Land of Waves, it's a good thing you happened to be there at that time, otherwise Naruko and the others would have suffered."

"It was no coincidence that when I was investigating the Akatsuki organization in the Country of Rain, I overheard the information that Uchiha Itachi deliberately leaked that a member of the Akatsuki organization was going to the Country of Waves. I always felt concerned about it, so I rushed to the Country of Waves as well. Good to catch up.”

"It's fortunate that this is the case, otherwise it would be a disaster for the village." Sarutobi skipped the topic of the Akatsuki organization, although it was also very important, and he knew more information than Jiraiya.

However, the most important thing now is another question.

"Jiraiya, are you interested in becoming the fifth Hokage?"

"Old man, could it be that you want to be lazy?"

"Retirement, you see." Sarutobi rubbed his head, which was full of white hair, "I feel like my experience has become worse and worse recently, and I have become more and more unable to deal with things. It just so happens that you are back, so I will..."

Jiraiya quickly interrupted: "Old man, you still have a few decades to live, although it will become more and more ugly."

"Hey, you're right, I do still have a few decades of good life, hehehe~" Sarutobi burst into laughter, "But that must be when I feel relaxed after retirement. If I continue to work hard for the village, I I'm afraid I won't be able to survive even a few years.

Jiraiya, my beloved disciple, can you bear to see your beloved teacher lose his life due to overwork, and are you unwilling to take over the burden of Hokage and only focus on taking care of yourself?"

Sarutobi's eyes flashed, and he launched an emotional offensive pitifully.

Jiraiya couldn't hold it any longer, turned his head, avoided looking, and said: "Anyway, old man, you know me. In the fate predicted by the Great Toad Sage, I am insulated from the position of Hokage. I think Tsunade is more suitable." , why not find her?"

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Sarutobi followed suit, "If possible, it would be best to start a family. Over the years, you have also"

Jiraiya immediately interrupted: "There are many people in Konoha who can go to Tsunade, so I won't participate. Besides, old man, don't worry about starting a family. How can I, a majestic Jiraiya, be willing to do anything for a big tree?" , and gave up the entire forest. Besides, in a sense, I also have a granddaughter, who is older than your grandson Konohamaru, old man."

Jiraiya's disciple is Namikaze Minato. He has no family, so he regards Namikaze Minato as his own child in his heart. Naruko is Namikaze Minato's child, so he regards Naruko as his granddaughter.

Sarutobi also knew: "Naruko didn't know that there was such an irresponsible grandfather like you. She has suffered a lot over the years, but she has also worked hard to come through, but she has to be stubborn and regard herself as As a boy, I have to fight tenaciously in a boy's way, so I have no choice but to follow her wishes. If she is willing to admit that she is a girl, the environment she faces can be much better, just like Jiu Xinnai said Face it like that, be relatively tolerant."

"Hahahaha~" He is indeed an irresponsible grandpa. After hearing this, Jiraiya laughed instead of being heartbroken, "As expected of Minato and Kushinai's child, with such a tough and stubborn temper, he really looks like Kushinai Well, if Kushinai hadn't met Minato, maybe he would be like Naruko now."

"What if we meet Naruko?"

"Old man, are you referring to that silver-haired kid, Sakuragawa Shiraki?"

Sarutobi nodded. There was a lot of investigation information about Shiraki in the archives room. This was the attention that he would definitely receive as a teammate of the Jinchuuriki.

"Hard-working, progressive, and calm beyond his age, and as far as I know, Shiraki played a huge role in this battle in the Kingdom of Waves. Without his desperate fighting, I'm afraid Team 10 wouldn't be able to hold on to you." . More importantly, his influence on Naruko, in my opinion, is all positive, and Naruko seems to have a good impression of Shiraki. Isn't this just like Kushinai and Minato back then?"

Jiraiya snorted, and with a grandfather's feelings for his beloved granddaughter, he took a slightly hostile look at any man who might approach his granddaughter: "Humph, Shiraki is indeed interesting, but he wants to be worthy of Naruko , let’s practice for another ten thousand years, because no one can be better than Minato.”

Jiraiya has no doubt about Namikaze Minato's excellence, and even firmly believes that Namikaze Minato is the son of destiny predicted by the Great Toad Sage. Even if he has the divine eye, an existence with sacred significance, he cannot let him. He wavered.

Until that night more than ten years ago, Namikaze Minato chose to sacrifice his life in order to protect the village and sealed the most terrifying tailed beast in the world, the Nine-Tails.

"Yes." Sarutobi absolutely recognized this and couldn't help but think about it, "What if Minato was still the Fourth Hokage?"

The atmosphere became a little heavy for a while.

It was Sarutobi who was the first to get rid of the heaviness and said seriously: "No one can compare to Namikaze Minato, but no one can compare to you as a teacher. Do you have any ideas of accepting a few more disciples?"

"Old man, do you still expect me to train another outstanding Minato? Minato's excellence is not because he met me, but because he is such an outstanding person. Moreover, the disciples I taught?"

Jiraiya paused here, with a somewhat complicated expression. In addition to Namikaze Minato, his disciples also taught three disciples from the Land of Rain. He also vaguely detected that these three disciples were the same as those from the Land of Rain. It is related to Akatsuki, an evil organization that emerged in the country.

"Even if it's Naruko, won't you agree? Since you love Naruko so much, then stay and teach her personally. You also hope that she will grow better, Jiraiya?"

"After so many years, Naruko has grown up and is becoming more and more like her mother Kushinai. Kurenai Yuhi is the most suitable teacher for her."

Jiraiya has personally seen Yuhi Kurenai, and inspected it secretly and openly, and expressed that he was very satisfied. It's a great beauty and so on. It's the best.

"With Kurenai Yuhi as a teacher, Naruko will definitely be able to be trained into a girl with both talent and appearance, outstanding temperament, gentleness and violence like Kushinai. This is not something I can do. Besides, you don't think highly of that girl. A white wood boy?"

Jiraiya seemed to suddenly think of something interesting and couldn't help but laugh.

"Old man, if you think Shiraki can have a good influence on Naruko, then let me see if Shiraki can become Minato in Naruko's mind, or become an ordinary classmate who is beaten up by the red pepper. Both of these two , everyone must have the consciousness to bet on their lives, hahaha~"

Sarutobi also had some expectations for this. Can Sakuragawa Shiraki and Uzumaki Naruko be like Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushinai?

The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and the sun gradually moved to the center, and the sunlight fell on the two of them through the gaps between the leaves.

Jiraiya, who was sitting on the floor, stood up and stretched.

Seeing this, Sarutobi said, "You're leaving again, Jiraiya."

"Hey, old man, you also know that I never stay in one place for too long. When I come back this time, I have already traveled all over Konoha."

For example, he would never miss the bathhouses, hot springs, and clear springs and streams in the mountains. The only pity was that there was no nightlife here.

"So, it's time to set off. There is no other way. The schedule is too full. The beauties of the ninja world are eagerly looking forward to the visit of this Toad Sage, hahaha~"

Jiraiya laughed and turned his back, not letting Sarutobi see his expression, and took steps to leave: "Old man, goodbye. By the way, I am investigating the Akatsuki organization recently, and I want to remind you, this The organization must attract the attention of the village, and I always have a bad feeling that one day, the Akatsuki organization may bring huge changes to the world."

With that said, Jiraiya walked away. Sarutobi's eyes followed his disciple's back. His old face was wrinkled and he didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly he saw Jiraiya turned around and shouted.

"Ah~ I almost forgot. Old man, please take care of Bai Bai. A boy who is too kind is very fragile, and I don't want to."

The last words were lost in the wind. Jiraiya raised his right hand high and waved his hand widely, and his unruly figure disappeared in the unruly wind.

Jin took Bai away.

Since it is Danzo's will, it is not something Shiraki can resist.

Shiraki had also heard of Danzo, who was an elder of Konoha and whose status was second only to the Hokage. He didn't know more about it.

A person with such a high status suddenly sent someone to find Bai. What should he do?

Shiraki had a bad feeling in his heart. Is there still a need for Shiro's review? Didn't Jiraiya say that everything will be taken care of by him? It doesn't look reliable either.

If there is a review, I hope they will have a better attitude. It is difficult for him to help in this regard, but the village will not go too far.

Bai Shenxin thought so.

Dong Dong~ Not long after, the door knocked again, and Yuhi Hong walked in. Her daily routine was over. She heard that Shiraki was discharged from the hospital, so she came to visit her home.

After a heart-warming conversation, Shiraki immediately asked Yuhi Kurenai about Danzo and Nebe.

"Danzo, known as the Darkness of Konoha"

Following Yuhi Hong's impartial description, a rather dark and vicious image was immediately sketched out in Bai Mu's mind. When he thought that Bai would be targeted and censored by such a terrible person, he couldn't help but worry about Bai even more. stand up.

At this time, he did not know that the matter was more serious than the so-called censorship.

Yuhi Hong also noticed that something was wrong with Shiraki's expression: "What's wrong? He looks very anxious. What happened?"

When Bai Mu was about to tell Yuhi Hong about the matter, hoping that she would think of a solution, Bai came back, speaking in a very calm tone, and it seemed that nothing bad had happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stopped there, and entertained Yuri Kurenai who came to the door.
