Kumogakure forced me, and the Third Hokage persuaded me to die.

Inside Konoha Village.

A group of villagers were discussing the news coming back from the front line.

"I heard that Hyuga Naraku-sama easily defeated the AB team from Hidden Cloud Village before. It was really impressive."

"Just like the Fourth Hokage back then!"

"Moreover, I heard that the 3,000-strong Kumogakure assault force that invaded the Fire Country was completely wiped out by us!"

"Good job!"

"If they don't teach Kumogakure a lesson, they really think that we Konoha are easy to bully!"

"Your news is too late. I heard the latest situation. Lord Naraku led his team to block the entrance of Yunyin Village, forcing Yunyin Village to open the barrier and not come out at all!"

Someone proudly shared

"What happened next?" Others couldn't wait to ask

"Later……"

The man made a long sound, and after whetting his appetite, he continued:

"Later, Naraku-sama used some powerful ninjutsu to directly cut off two mountains and forcefully smashed Yunyin Village open!"

"hiss……"

A group of people couldn't help but gasp.

Use the mountain to smash open other people's villages!

What a level of power this is!

"Well, is the Hyuga Naraku you are talking about the commander-in-chief of this expedition?"

Jiraiya, who had white hair hanging behind his back, asked as he had just returned to the village.

He had heard that there was a sudden war in Cloud Hidden Village, and the Fourth Raikage led his team into the Land of Fire.

Then he hurried back.. But after rushing back, he found that there was no depressing atmosphere due to the war in the village.

When he came over to listen, Jiraiya discovered that Konoha had already sent troops to fight Kumogakure back!

They even kept chasing him. Arrive at Cloud Hidden Village!

"Uncle, did you just come back from a mission that took too long? Even Naraku-sama doesn’t know!"

A young man said, looking at Jiraiya's clothes covered in dust.

"Ahaha, it’s true that I have been away from the village for too long and I don’t have much information."

Jiraiya scratched his head and said haha

"really!"

The young man had an expected expression, and then he said as if he was deeply proud:

"Naraku-sama is a genius ninja of the Hyuga clan. Everyone selected him as the commander-in-chief for this expedition."

"As for strength, there is no need to question it at all!"

"The AB combination that easily defeated Cloud Hidden Village is definitely comparable to the Fourth Hokage back then!"

"What's more, Lord Naraku and more than two thousand people can block Yunyin in the village and dare not come out!"

"Can that old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen do this kind of thing?!"

Jiraiya nodded slowly at first.

Although Minato passed away, there are now ninjas who can take on important responsibilities in the village.

Hearing the last sentence, Jiraiya couldn't help but twitching his lips.

His teacher, the most popular person in the village Are the reviews already so bad?

Some people have already publicly ridiculed it...

However!

"What else can that old guy like Sarutobi Hiruzen do besides being able to deal with his own people!"

"Lord White Fang back then was completely forced to death by him!"

"I hope Naraku-sama can get rid of that nasty traitor Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

When a group of villagers heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's name, they started to curse angrily.

"Well……"

Jiraiya's expression gradually stiffened.

This... seems to be explained by more than just the deterioration of his reputation...

Also, what does it mean to say that his teacher is a traitor?

"Let me explain these things to you."

A strong figure walked towards Jiraiya.

"Uncle Qiudao Feng?"

Jiraiya's pupils shrank, becoming more and more puzzled.

Akimichi Tifeng was one of the six disciples of the Second Hokage, and he was considered the junior brother of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In terms of seniority, Jiraiya really needs to be called his uncle.

…… a long time.

After listening to Akimichi Tifeng's long words, Jiraiya stood frozen on the ground, completely stunned.

"……The old man defected?"

After a long silence, Jiraiya finally spoke and asked in disbelief.

He hurried back to the village, thinking that he would rush to the Kumogakure battlefield immediately after returning.

However, he found that the war was going smoothly and he was not needed at all.

Jiraiya, who was relieved at first, suddenly learned such big news!

His teacher, the shadow of a village, was impeached and overthrown by everyone, and then he had no choice but to defect?

"indeed so."

Qiudao Qifeng sighed and said:

"Not only Sarutobi defected"

"Danzo was executed in public by Hyuga Naraku at everyone's request for desecrating the remains of the First Hokage, transplanting the First Hokage's cells, and other crimes without authorization."

Jiraiya:"……"

Although it was very unnatural, Jiraiya wanted to say: Die well!

He has disliked Danzo for a long time!

"Mito Katoyan, Koharu and the others have also been dismissed from their posts and are now locked up in Konoha Prison. Akimichi

Tokaze said with a sigh.

The six disciples of the Second Hokage back then, except Uchiha Kagami, who died early.

Now the remaining few, except him, died, defected, and were imprisoned.

However , , Qiudao Qifeng didn't feel wronged for those four people.

They had the end they did today entirely because of themselves!

"Has such a big change happened in the village?"

Jiraiya feels a little headache

"By the way, was the old man impeached because he wanted to hand over the young man named Hinata Naraku to Kumogakure?"

"not only that. Qiudao

Qifeng said with a sigh on his face:

"In order to hand over Hyuga Naraku, Sarutobi and the others planned multiple assassinations, and even tried to replace the Hyuga clan leader, but they all failed."

"Moreover, there are too many crimes against the four of them."

"For example, the White Fang incident back then was actually a trap planned by Sarutobi and the others!"

"white teeth……"

Jiraiya murmured after listening to Akimichi Tofuu's account of the White Fang incident.

If this is the case, then even if his teacher is imprisoned and executed, it will not be unjust. but.

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he is his teacher.

If he saw the opponent who was now a rebel ninja, Jiraiya couldn't imagine how he would face that situation.

"I see."

Jiraiya nodded slowly, feeling a little depressed.

Akimichi Kazami conveyed the situation clearly and said:

"Before Hyuga Naraku went on an expedition, he entrusted me with temporarily taking charge of the affairs of the village."

"He told me that if you come back, let me help convey a message"

"What?"

Jiraiya managed to cheer up a little bit.

"He said, let you go take a look and take care of the fourth generation orphan, Uzumaki Naruto."

Akimichi and Feng Shen were filled with emotion.

What happened to the fourth generation son is another crime against Sarutobi and the others.

"Naruto?……"

Jiraiya's eyes flashed a little brightly and he nodded.

He left the village partly because he wanted to find the child of destiny.

On the other hand, it was because he could not accept the increasingly unfamiliar Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has defected, and the elders who have caused the village to deteriorate more and more are either dead or stepping down.

It was also time for him to go and see Minato's son.
