Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Hahaha, although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove that the old man appreciates you."

Indeed, Jiraiya was able to completely draw the Sandaime Hokage to Shimizu's side, and his new Arashi Release Ninjutsu was also very powerful.

A young Konoha jounin who can independently develop blood succession limited ninjutsu.

Can such a person deliver food at will? ! Can it be sacrificed as a political bargaining chip at will? !

Therefore, Qingshui can be saved not only because of Konoha's current good diplomatic status and the comfortable situation without war, but also because of its own value, such as Madara's importance to him, the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, and Demonstrated ability to develop blood succession limited ninjutsu.

Each of these items has a unique importance, not to mention all three superimposed at the same time.

But the real purpose of Jiraiya's coming here was naturally not to discuss his new technique with Qing Shui.

He informed Qingshui of Konoha's attitude towards this matter, so naturally, Konoha and Kumogakure have become enemies.

The other thing is...

"So now I have become the hero of Konoha?" Qingshui still couldn't accept this setting.

"Isn't this a matter of course? And there will be an investiture ceremony soon, and the higher-ups will promote you as a positive example."

From Qingshui's point of view, being able to escape this disaster safely is the greatest good news. Not only did he escape, but he also inexplicably gained great success like a blessing in disguise...

Something always feels wrong.

The black and white of the matter have been completely reversed, can't we keep a low profile?

"But in this case, doesn't it tell Madara that his plan has completely failed?" Qingshui reminded.

Madara's purpose was to drive a wedge between Shimizu and Konoha and force him to defect. Now, once Madara knew that his wishful thinking had failed, how could he ignore it?

The investiture ceremony was not brought up by the Sandaime Hokage, but arranged by the other high-level officials of Konoha who did not know the inside story.

They felt that a positive image of Qingshui, who was brave and resourceful, was very suitable for pre-war mobilization propaganda.

After all, there is a high probability that Kumogakure and Konoha are going to war.

"I have also had concerns about whether this is too much fanfare..."

"But Madara's hands can't reach Konoha. No matter you are high-profile or low-key, Kumogakure will always hate you."

"It's better to openly put yourself on the bright side... If this matter is unfortunately reversed by Kumogakure in the future, and the truth of the matter is made public by them, then you will also have the aura of a hero of Konoha."

"If they really want to deal with you, they should also consider the feelings of the people in the village. At least they won't fall out just because they want to."

Qingshui was immediately convinced by Jiraiya. It sounds like it would be more beneficial to him to hold the award ceremony with great fanfare?

After just this moment, his reputation as "Shunshin Kiyomizu" will definitely become famous in the ninja world.

After all, he killed the Sandaime Raikage, who was said to have the "strongest spear" and the "strongest shield"!

And although he relies on unexpected sneak attacks, Konoha will only package him as a glorious image of defeating the Sandaime Raikage head-on, but this is seriously asymmetrical to his strength...

"Did Yunyin make any requests?"

"Hand you over, return the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and there will also be a huge amount of compensation."

It's not surprising that he handed over Shimizu, but the two-tailed Jinchuuriki was taken as a hostage. That little girl turned out to be still in Konoha?

"So Konoha doesn't plan to return it, the two-tailed jinchūriki?"

"Hahaha, would you repay it if it were you? Konoha has already broken up with Kumogakure." Jiraiya suddenly laughed, "Originally, if Kumogakure was not so domineering and negotiated carefully, they might not be able to bring back the second tail. Jinchuuriki..."

"I just got carried away by their anger and arrogance. I always thought that Konoha was a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by them."

"I remember clearly...the sacrifice of the Nidaime Hokage and the kidnapping of Kushina during the Second Ninja War.

In fact, Konoha didn't even settle the accounts with them. "

"I can remember it. How can those old guys who have gone through two ninja wars not remember it?"

Speaking of which, Qingshui already knew it, because the fact that he accidentally killed the Sandaime Raikage would definitely trigger a war between Konoha and Kumogakure in the future.

"Coupled with the arrogant Ninja Village like Kumogakure, how can it really maintain long-term peace with Konoha... The establishment of that alliance agreement was because Konoha paid enough benefits."

"But it's good now. Because of your incident, Konoha has taken advantage of the situation to recover the interests it originally lost in the country of Taki."

"So, don't think about it anymore. You killed their strongest shadow and greatly weakened their top power."

"It will also be a good thing for Konoha when there is a war with Kumogakure in the future."

"I don't think too much about it, I just feel a little sad..."

"oh?"

"I can only tell you these words, Jiraiya-senpai..." Qingshui said slowly, "Just from my personal feelings, I think the Sandaime Raikage is a real man. I admire him a lot, too. I admire such a ninja with true temperament."

"Perhaps the peace between Konoha and Kumogakure will not last long, but I think that as long as he is around, it will be difficult for Konoha and Kumogakure to actually have a war..."

"But by chance, it was me who killed him..."

"He will never die in peace."

If one day we meet again, and the dirty earth is reincarnated and gets the chance to come to the world again, how will the other party feel?

"After all, Madara was the one who designed all of this. It's understandable that you fell into his illusion." Jiraiya shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not many people can resist his illusion..."

"Even Jiraiya-senpai...can't you?"

"This...I have never seen a genjutsu ninja as powerful as him, maybe he can't do it." Jiraiya turned to show a confident smile, "Of course, it doesn't mean that I can't do it."

"Because no matter how powerful the illusion is, it requires certain conditions to be used."

For example, the Sharingan requires looking directly into a person's eyes to activate genjutsu.

The way to crack it is also very simple, just like what Li Kai said in the original work, avoid the opponent's eyes and just stare at the opponent's limbs to fight.

It's just that without a certain amount of practice, it's impossible to adapt to this fighting method.

Qing Shui secretly made up his mind to gain experience in fighting Sharingan enemies from now on.

He had a vague sense of crisis. While Madara became younger, he probably also regained a certain amount of strength.

Who can guarantee that he will not become younger?

Who can be sure that he will never meet Madara again in the future?

Fortunately, there is Shisui...

He could use Shisui as a sparring partner to practice fighting against enemies with Sharingan.
