Naruto's Strongest Force

Hokage Building.

"Old man." Jiraiya turned in from the window.

The third generation put down the documents in his hands.

"How is Natsuki?"

Jiraiya said:

"Although I won, I felt that he had something to hold on to."

Sandai took a puff of cigarette calmly: "What about you?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "I didn't use sage mode."

The third generation raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? Then he didn't use Susanoo?"

"It was used, but for a short time. It seems that Susanoo consumes a very large amount of chakra and cannot last long."

Sandai took a few steps back and forth and murmured: "It can't last, it can't last..."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Jiraiya."

The Third Hokage showed a relaxed expression.

Jiraiya shook his head:

"After a competition between Natsuki and I, I don't think Natsuki is a careerist. Maybe he really just wants to guard Uchiha's territory."

"Really?" If you don't judge a person by his own feelings, the third generation will definitely curse him.

But Jiraiya is different. Jiraiya also practices in Miaomu Mountain and receives natural energy for a long time.

You can marvelously detect a person's character and tendencies.

Therefore, Jiraiya's words are of great reference value.

Moreover, even the Third Hokage himself has not fully realized how powerful Jiraiya's Sage Mode is.

Now that Jiraiya said there was no problem, the third generation relaxed a lot.

After all, Uchiha Natsuki has always been an unstable factor, often making unexpected moves.

This time it ruined Jiraiya's reputation, and I have to say that it would suit Jiraiya very well.

After all, the Third Generation could no longer force Jiraiya to take over as Hokage.

Which village's shadow can be a voyeur?

Speaking of which, since Orochimaru is not the murderer who stole the baby, then...

"Old man, I'm ready to leave."

Jiraiya's voice interrupted the Third Hokage's thoughts.

Sandai frowned: "You're leaving in such a short time?"

Jiraiya spread his hands:

"There seems to be nothing wrong with staying in the village. You have disbanded the Roots, and the Uchiha have returned their rights. I tried Natsuki and he is not a careerist."

"Why should I keep it?"

The third generation looked at Jiraiya with doubtful eyes:

"You're afraid that you can't go to the bathhouse to peep, so you're leaving in a hurry, right?"

Jiraiya's head is full of black lines:

"This is absolutely not the case! I just received news from Orochimaru and wanted to check it out."

"Really!?" There was a different emotion in Sandai's voice.

But Jiraiya didn't hear it and just nodded seriously:

"It's true. I received clues that there are traces of Orochimaru in the northern Tian Country."

Sandai pondered for a moment:

"Then go ahead. There's no need to catch him back."

Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage in surprise.

"What did you say, old man?"

The Third Hokage looked a little confused and picked up his pipe and took a puff.

After a long time, he sighed:

"It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not. Just help me bring this message to him."

"Old man?"

Jiraiya was quite moved, he knew what the third generation meant by these words.

It means that the third generation will not pursue the past things. Moreover, the third generation still regarded Orochimaru as his disciple.

The third generation waved his hands a little tiredly:

"Natsuki brought news that the kidnapping of the baby was Danzo's work, and Orochimaru was at best collaborating on experiments."

"Although I don't know where Xiamu got the news, there is no need for him to lie."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up. To be honest, his friendship with Orochimaru was not shallow.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been working hard all the time, talking about chasing Orochimaru, but actually he was just traveling outside.

If the kidnapping of the baby hadn't been so bad back then, Jiraiya wouldn't have taken this job.

Now it is actually said that the mastermind of the kidnapping case was Danzo.

Jiraiya suddenly felt relieved.

When it comes to the relationship between the Third Generation and Orochimaru, Jiraiya is also aware of it.

Orochimaru has been extremely good since he was a child, and he can learn all ninjutsu at once.

He is also the proud disciple of his teacher, and his relationship must be very good.

It's just that Orochimaru is unruly, so the teacher chose Minato.

In fact, what Jiraiya didn't know was that the third generation originally intended Orochimaru to be the fourth Hokage.

But Danzo recommended Orochimaru, and the two cooperated deeply.

Orochimaru is too capable and extremely independent in his thinking, and he does not accept anyone's control at all.

Neither can the Third Hokage.

That's why the third generation finally chose Minato Namikaze, a civilian representative.

After all, Namikaze Minato doesn't have any backstage, so it's easier to control.

It’s just that Sandai didn’t expect it.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru was too arrogant and couldn't stand being provoked, so he went directly into the darkness to pursue his truth.

In the end, a baby kidnapping case broke out, and Orochimaru never explained it from beginning to end.

Orochimaru's departure in the end was not so much because of his position as Hokage.

Rather, what he couldn't stand was the third generation's distrust of him.

And the so-called Konoha Collapse Plan that Orochimaru came up with in the end was just like a child showing off his achievements to adults.

Or maybe I don’t want the Third Hokage to finally rot here.

Even when he finally killed the Third Hokage, he shed tears himself.

Jiraiya had dealt with Natsuki, and although the process was not pleasant, Jiraiya also believed the information.

"Okay, I will pass the message to Orochimaru."

Jiraiya's casual expression also changed slightly.

The Third Hokage waved his hand.

"Go and see Naruto before you leave. That kid is in ninja school now."

Jiraiya nodded and disappeared into the office.

…

Jiraiya came out of the Hokage Building and deliberately used the transformation technique to avoid commotion.

Became an ordinary Konoha ninja.

It was afternoon and the school had not ended yet.

Jiraiya found a suitable location after greeting the ANBU nearby who were monitoring Naruto.

Jiraiya looked over and saw that Naruto, who had fluffy yellow hair and a few beard lines on his face, was training on the playground with a serious look on his face.

They started with running, but also had to cross obstacles, jump into pits, and cross ropes.

These are the most basic physical fitness and body coordination training.

Iruka leads the team at the front. Iruka spoke as he ran.

"After you graduate, you will encounter countless terrain obstacles when performing tasks, so you must adapt to various terrains now."

The fastest student behind him is Sasuke. He has a very serious face and he will not be careless about any training.

From jumping into pits to crossing ropes, Sasuke's movements were very standardized and natural. You could tell at a glance that he had received similar training at home.

But the other people behind were different. Children from all the major ninja clans were running ahead.

Children from other civilian families are still a little confused about this kind of training.

There are many people who fell into a pit and cried loudly, fell off the rope, and couldn't get up after falling for a long time.

Of course, there are also children from the great ninja clan who run slower, such as Akimichi Choji...

The most outstanding among the civilians is Naruto. Naruto takes this kind of training very seriously. He always remembers Natsuki-senpai's expectations for him.

So, even though Naruto often fell into pits or fell off ropes.

But they all quickly got up and worked hard to catch up with Sasuke and his group.

At the end of the last three laps, only half of the students had finished.

But Naruto relied on his own perseverance and reached the end of the first echelon, finishing ninth.

Jiraiya, who was far away in the tree, was very pleased to see it.

Naruto is really hardworking and very sensible.

At the end of the training, Mr. Iruka announced the rankings and then left for free activities.

Iruka came to Naruto: "Naruto, are you okay?"

Naruto worked very hard just now, so he fell many times and had many bruises on his body.

Naruto raised his head to Iruka and showed a big smile: "Iruka-sensei, I'm fine. They're just minor injuries."

Iruka patted Naruto on the shoulder with a gentle face: "Naruto, you performed very well this time, but be careful next time and don't be so reckless."

Naruto gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, Mr. Iruka, I will definitely get first place in the next training!"

"Naruto! Come over and play games!" A voice came from afar.

"Iruka-sensei, I'm going to play..." Iruka's next words were stuck in his throat.

Seeing that Naruto was indeed fine, Iruka could only shake his head helplessly.

"Let's play catch the bad guy!"

"Then I'll be a guard!"

"I also want to be a guard!"

"Then I can only pretend to be Jiraiya, and you come and catch me!"

Jiraiya, who was standing on the tree, almost fell down.

I greeted Natsuki heartily and left the Ninja School.

He couldn't stay in Konoha for even half a minute!
