After these two men successfully assassinated the Third Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, who was trusted by the first two Hokages, left Konoha with Orochimaru and officially joined Orochimaru's camp.

Therefore, when it was announced that the third Hokage had died heroically, the S-class wanted document regarding Kakashi Hatake, the former ANBU minister of Konoha, was also sent to various countries as quickly as possible and was widely circulated among the people.

Not only that, Konoha senior officials claimed in official intelligence that the elder Danzo did not attack the Third Hokage intentionally, but was misled by the spy Kakashi Hatake and did something wrong without noticing, and Hatake

Mukakashi is another nail planted by the traitor Orochimaru in Konoha. All the criticisms Konoha has encountered during this period are all because of Orochimaru's carefully planned conspiracy. Everyone has been used by the traitor Orochimaru.

…

Therefore, in view of the great harm the rebellious ninja Orochimaru has to Konoha and even the ninja world, Konoha will adjust the pursuit of Orochimaru to the highest level and rope in the rebellious ninja Orochimaru and Hatake Kakashi as soon as possible.

Bringing the matter to justice is now an urgent matter for Konoha.

Once such news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in Konoha Village.

Although most people, in line with the expectations of the senior officials, began to launch a fierce attack on the rebellious ninja Orochimaru, many ninjas were filled with indignation and actively requested to join the pursuit force to kill Orochimaru.

But there are also a few calm people who express doubts about this matter. They even do not believe that Kakashi, who has made countless contributions to Konoha, would betray Konoha... They asked the top management to reveal the real truth. When they saw the top management bring it out, they succeeded.

When the White Fang dagger was used to kill the Third Hokage, it misfired.

The medical ninja who conducted the autopsy on the Third Hokage, after repeated examinations, came to a unanimous conclusion, that is, the wound that caused the death of the Third Hokage completely matched the shape of the wound stabbed by the White Fang knife. It can be confirmed that the Third Hokage died from

White Fang Dagger.

This undoubtedly further confirmed the testimony of the senior officials, that it was Hatake Kakashi and Orochimaru who killed the Third Hokage despite insufficient ANBU protection.

Therefore, on this day that was not suitable for travel, the top management of Konoha, headed by the fifth Hokage Tsunade, began to hold a grand funeral for the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Condolences to the Third Hokage who died heroically in the line of duty during this large-scale chaos in Konoha.

All the Jonin who stayed in Konoha participated. Even the Jonin who was stationed far away on the border heard about this incident and some rushed back to Konoha without stopping to attend the funeral of the Third Hokage...

Although the appeasement policy adopted by the Third Hokage in foreign affairs during the Third Hokage's reign caused many ninjas within Konoha to be dissatisfied with it, and also gave rise to terrorist organizations like the Roots that were separated from the Anbu... But after the other party had been in power for thirty or forty years

Over the years, everyone has recognized his great achievements in connecting the past and the future.

With the power of one person, he reconciled the friction between the ninja clan and the civilians, and successfully resolved many conflicts left over from Konoha's history for the stability of Konoha's environment.

Therefore, even the fighting factions who are dissatisfied with the various appeasement policies of the Third Hokage will not openly boycott the other party's funeral. They are also solemnly mourning the other party's death in the line of duty.

The dead are the greatest.

"I didn't expect that I would be so busy when I came back, attending my teacher's funeral... I really don't know what to say..."

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Tsunade stood in front of the tombstone of her teacher, the Third Hokage, and looked at the black and white photo, which showed the kind smile of an old man, with a complex look on her face.

In terms of policy, she is not a traditional conservative, and what she does is not in line with tradition.

It is precisely because of this that she has a lot of dissatisfaction with some of the policies implemented by her teacher, the Third Hokage.

But this does not mean that she agrees with the radical ideas of the martial arts faction in the village. Therefore, she resists the martial arts organization headed by Danzo and privately believes that this is a cancer of Konoha.

She has never objected to the existence of fighting ideas, but Danzo's fighting ideas are too extreme. This too extreme fighting ideas will cause an extremely bloody and cruel high-pressure reign of terror within the village... and eventually form an alternative version of blood.

Village of Mist.

"Because of this, your return is very important, so as not to make Sarutobi-sensei's sacrifice meaningless. I will handle Orochimaru's affairs, you only need to manage the village well. Shikaku is a rare

Liangcai, you must make good use of him."

Jiraiya, standing next to Tsunade, said.

"It's too dangerous for you to investigate Orochimaru alone. I heard that he has a huge organization behind him that supports him."

When Tsunade heard Jiraiya's proposal, she immediately frowned and rejected it.

"That's why I have to investigate him. In addition, things have been difficult for that organization recently. I heard that Iwagakure and Kumogakure have organized a pursuit force and started to hunt down the members of this organization. Although the two villages have not united, they have

I think when faced with the joint pursuit of two ninja villages, even the most powerful ninja cannot truly remain indifferent."

After all, people are not made of steel. There are always times when they need to eat and sleep, and it is impossible to stay alert all the time, otherwise it will put a huge load on the body.

Most of the rebellious ninja who betrayed the village did not die in direct battles, but were unable to survive alone in the outside world. When they were exhausted, they were easily killed by the village's pursuing ninjas.

"But……"

"Stop talking about me, your job here is not easy either." Jiraiya interrupted Tsunade and said solemnly: "You are now the Hokage of the village, and the people you have to deal with next are comparable to Orochimaru.

Guys are much more dangerous.”

"The country of ghosts?"…

Tsunade knew what Jiraiya was referring to.

"Yes, Orochimaru's danger is only personal, but the danger of the Demon Country is an entire country. Compared with your work, this is not difficult for me at all. I have a hunch that the Demon Country will soon

It will cause a bloody storm in the ninja world, you have to be careful and don't get in the other person's way."

"Having said that, there is actually a lot of trade between Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons. Cooperation with the Kingdom of Demons will not necessarily bring bad results."

Tsunade paused and spoke from a neutral and objective perspective.

"The Kingdom of Oni is just using trade as an excuse to spy on the reality of our Konoha. The person who leads that country is the disaster predicted by the Great Toad Sage to destroy the ninja world. As Konoha ninjas, we must not

Ignore this issue.”

Jiraiya said with a serious expression, the solemn look in his eyes silently conveying his hostility and fear towards the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"...You still believe in that prophecy? You know, I don't really believe in prophecies."

Tsunade helplessly spread her hands.

"The Great Toad Immortal is on the same level as the Slug Immortal. You who signed a contract with the Slug Immortal should be aware of their power. As mortals, if we can glimpse a corner of the Immortal's prophecy, we will feel that we have no regrets in life."

Jiraiya's attitude was extremely determined.

"...I'm sorry, I still can't agree."

"I know. But it is my responsibility to guide the son of prophecy to save the ninja world. Next, I will take him to Mt. Miaomu."

"He? The son of prophecy?"

Facing the confused Tsunade, Jiraiya nodded and replied:

"It's Naruto. According to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, he will be the key to leading the world to peace."

"A little kid...are you serious?"

Tsunade was taken aback.

"I believe he has such potential."

"What you said is a bit too random."

"This is a request from the Great Toad Sage. It wants to see Naruto."

Seeing that Tsunade seemed to have the intention to refuse, Jiraiya continued: "Besides, letting Naruto go to Mt. Myoboku earlier may allow him to learn senjutsu in advance, which is also a good thing. Anyway, he has already signed a contract with Mt. Myoboku.

According to the contract, sooner or later he will go to Miaomu Mountain. With me watching him personally, what else do you have to worry about?"

"It's just because you, a fool, am here that I feel uneasy."

Just when Tsunade was in a dilemma whether to agree to Jiraiya's request or not, two consultants, Koharu and Mito Kabuto, came over.

"Tsunade, just let Jiraiya take Naruto there. The magic of Mount Myoboku is indeed a powerful trump card. If Naruto can learn the magic of Mount Myoboku, Konoha will be more confident in facing other countries.

Enough. You must know that in the manuscripts left by the first generation of adults, the magic of immortality was also highly praised."

"Why are you two here to join in the fun?"

Tsunade looked at the two advisors.

Mito Katoyan did not pay attention to the displeasure in Tsunade's tone, but replied: "It is not a bad thing to let Naruto follow Jiraiya to Mount Myoboku to learn senjutsu. In Konoha now, in addition to the two of you, there are also other needs

It’s just a deterrent.”

Tsunade probably understood the meaning of Mitomon Yan. She put aside the prophecy for now and let Naruto learn the magic of Mount Myoboku and increase the power of Konoha. In his opinion, the most important thing is to go to Mount Myoboku.

matter.

And what Mito Kadenyan said is right, Konoha does need more new troops, especially the deterrent power of top ninjas.

As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Naruto can be said to be the most promising one.

"Okay, I agree to this... However, regarding the legacy left by Minato and Kushina, let's hand it over to Naruto as soon as possible. You have still controlled the legacy of Minato and Kushina for so many years. As senior leaders, you can't

I feel ashamed."

Having said this, Tsunade looked at the two advisors with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Because his identity was not disclosed in the past, so..."

"If it were made public earlier, wouldn't there be less trouble? And the job of concealing the jinchuriki's identity has not been done well... I really don't know what you have been struggling with all these years, is it face, or is it so pitiful?

What about your ridiculous self-esteem?"

Tsunade's extremely pungent words of criticism made the two consultants' faces suddenly dim, and they walked away in gray.

"You are really unreasonable, just like in the past. Aren't you afraid that they will hinder you in your work in the future?"

Seeing the two advisors running away in confusion under Tsunade's words, Jiraiya's face was filled with shame.

"If you keep pampering them like Sarutobi-sensei, there will be problems. Don't worry, these two old guys will not take the soft. Only by doing this can I successfully control Konoha."
