"I didn't expect you to be gone for so long, but welcome back."
At the gate of Wood Leaf, the ninjas of the Department of Security are still doing their job.
Standing outside the village are two men in black, their clothes are very different from the others in Wood Leaf, even one of them didn't wear a forehead protector.
But the pass is real, this is the pass issued by the Department of Security, and it even has the signature of Kei Uchiha.
Even if the ninjas at the gate don't know these two people, the pass is enough to prove everything.
"Thank you, it's good to be back."
A hoarse voice sounded from the mouth of one of the men in black, the man raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of golden snake-like eyes under the bamboo hat.
But the ninja of the Department of Security obviously didn't notice, and even if he did notice, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, this person has the pass signed by the minister himself, as long as there is this document, everything will be fine.
His attention has been completely focused on the ninjas who will enter the village next, the Chunin exam is about to begin, and their current task is really huge.
They have to face all kinds of people every day, and they don't have so much energy to investigate a person with the minister's signature.
"Interesting."
The man with the bamboo hat and the other person walked in and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Seeing that it's Kai Jun's signature, I don't care anymore, his prestige is still so high. And … it's really nostalgic, after so many years, Wood Leaf has become more prosperous. "
"I think you are really bored." The black-haired man next to the man with the snake eyes shook his head: "I can bring you back directly, why do you have to go through the gate?"
"Because I still have a subordinate waiting for me." The man with the snake eyes licked his lips. Fortunately, he was covered by the bamboo hat, and no one noticed this scene.
The two of them are Orochimaru and Obito. As the protagonist of this operation, Orochimaru, of course, came back to participate.
As for Obito, he came back because he was worried that something unexpected would happen, so he could secretly help.
He now had complete control over the Akatsuki, and Nagato was no longer managing the daily affairs of the organization.
Even the Obito himself did not expect such a situation, and he had no experience in managing an organization.
In order to have the Akatsuki under his control and not let Black Zetsu notice anything unusual, Kuroto decided to go with Akatsuki.
Therefore, the Masked-Man decided to ask Orochimaru and Ghost Shark and the others to help him.
Orochimaru's position in Wood Leaf in the past was not something he could compare to in the past. This guy actually had good management skills.
Ghost Mermaid had worked in Hidden Mist and Wood Leaf's secret department before, so it wasn't a problem for him to help monitor the others in the organization.
With the help of these two, the Akatsuki was indeed in Obito's hands.
Moreover, the cooperation and techniques of these two people were very strong, especially Orochimaru. Under his management, even Hei Jue did not notice anything.
This made the Masked-Man sigh with emotion, Orochimaru's ability is really strong.
If Kei Uchiha knew about this, he wouldn't be surprised at all. After all, this guy was able to establish his own Shinobi village and develop it well.
However, Orochimaru was also a little dissatisfied with this matter. Managing this organization still consumed a lot of his energy.
This caused him to waste a lot of time on managing this organization, leaving him little time for research.
However, the Masked-Man did not care too much, and he also promised Orochimaru that no matter what kind of materials this guy wants, as long as he doesn't have any bad intentions towards Wood Leaf, he will help him get it.
It was this promise that made Orochimaru suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and obediently help Kuroto.
"Your subordinate?" The Masked-Man turned his head and glanced at Orochimaru. He is currently using the appearance of Forest Uchiha.
Of course, it can be seen as his own appearance and cover up the injured half of his face. He didn't change his appearance at all.
"Yes, to be precise, he should be the subordinate of Minister Suike." Orochimaru nodded, "A very talented child, Minister Suike gave him to me to help us with some things. He will assist us in this mission. "
The Masked-Man nodded, he didn't take this kind of thing too seriously.
In fact, when he walked in from the gate, he felt weird. Although he has always been recognized as a Wood Leaf ninja, he clearly remembers what he did in the past.
Therefore, when he returned to Wood Leaf before, he basically relied on Kamui to sneak in.
However, he has to say that walking in from the main entrance like this is indeed a very unique feeling.
At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly turned his head and walked to a corner, the Masked-Man tilted his head and followed.
He didn't use his Sharingan, but he can also perceive that there seems to be some arrangement in that place.
Shaking his head, the Masked-Man followed Kuroto in, and in just a moment, a wind blew in the open space.
In this gust of wind, a figure appeared out of nowhere. He adjusted his glasses, and there was a faint smile on his face. This person was Apothecary Dou.
"Lord Orochimaru." Yakuza bowed slightly to Orochimaru and said, "And this person …"
"He is my leader." Orochimaru chuckled, "The actual controller of the Akatsuki organization."
Yakuza's eyes slightly widened, he really didn't expect that this dangerous guy would actually come to Wood Leaf?
However, he is also a very qualified ninja. Although his heart is extremely shocked, he still looks as usual.
After all, he is someone who knows the actual situation of the Akatsuki organization, although he was sealed, he was shocked mainly because this guy actually came here in person.
Moreover, why does this guy look so young?
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be in his twenties.
"Well, let's not talk about these things, you can negotiate this matter with Minister Uchiha." Orochimaru licked his lips, then slowly said, "How is the layout of Wood Leaf? Did you give me a part of the plan? "
"Hokage-sama has already taken it out." Yakuza respectfully handed a document to Orochimaru, "This is the current layout of Wood Leaf, I made some changes in some places, it can't be too complete, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
"It seems that you have saved me a lot of trouble." Orochimaru took the document and nodded after a little glance, "Very good, these things are enough."
"So, Lord Orochimaru …" Yakuza lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What do you plan to do with Yondaime Kazekage?"
"That guy … I'm afraid he is not far from death. I specially arranged a team to deal with him. "
"You actually let Akatsuki take action?"
"It's not me, it's him. As for the person who will do it, it's naturally him … "
…
The night was like a song, under the moonlight, on a cliff, the night wind blew, bringing a trace of the coolness of the night and the smell of wind and sand.
At the end of June, even late at night, the heat in the Land of Wind is still unbearable.
A figure stood on the edge of the cliff, a black robe with red clouds fluttering in the wind, the night wind constantly blowing his hair, but he didn't care.
His expression was as cold as a statue. If it wasn't for the unique warmth and aura of a living person on his body, he wouldn't have been able to stand there.
Behind him on the top of the cliff, there was a cave, in the cave from time to time there was a fire.
A man wearing the same black robe with red clouds squatted next to the fire, next to him were two roasted golden birds stuck on a branch, it seems like they live on the cliff.
But at this time, even the most ferocious bird can only be used as food, it has a strong aroma.
The man who squatted next to the fire turned his head, his shark-like face came into view, he glanced at his partner on the edge of the cliff.
"Shisui, you have been watching for a long time, it's time for you to eat something." said Ghost Shark calmly, "Leave the rest to me, I am quite familiar with that guy."
"Don't worry, you eat first." Shisui shook his head and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ghost Shark didn't mind, if it wasn't because he didn't want this guy to drag him down, he wouldn't even bother to say anything.
Ghost Shark and Shisui had been in the same team for years, but the relationship between them didn't really change.
Shisui thought that Ghost Shark was an evil guy who escaped from Wood Leaf, while Ghost Shark thought that Shisui was a bastard who betrayed Wood Leaf. Both of them hated each other from the bottom of their hearts.
But no matter how much they hated each other, they were in the same team now, they were just monitoring each other.
Therefore, neither of them dared to be too excessive, even if they were really unhappy, they couldn't really kill each other, right?
However, even if they couldn't kill each other, they wouldn't be able to get along well with each other in other aspects. Even if he asked casually like this, it was just a formality.
If he wanted to eat, he could eat, if he didn't want to eat, it was not a big deal.
This time, they had a mission, which was to come to this place to intercept and kill Yondaime Kazekage!
This mission was a bit dangerous, after all, they were going to kill a whole village of Kazekage.
However, Ghost Shark didn't take it too seriously, he had indeed faced Yondaime Kazekage before, but that time, they didn't fight.
He still clearly remembered that he and that guy, Full Moon, were surrounded by a large group of sand ninjas, and almost couldn't get out.
This time, he came to find this guy, it could also be counted as revenge.
He didn't believe that Kazekage would bring so many people with him this time.
Glancing at the meat aside, Ghost Mermaid showed a faint smile on his face. However, this smile wasn't gentle at all. Instead, it even looked a bit creepy under the light of the fire.
Shisui inadvertently glanced at Ghost Shark from the corner of his eyes, then he retracted his gaze.
He really didn't have any appetite right now, his mind was still paying attention to the movements of Wood Leaf.
Shisui knew some of the movements of Sand Village, but he didn't know much information.
For example, Sand Village was very closed, but recently, he could see a lot of elite teams quickly entering the Country of the River.
This situation seemed a bit too bad, because no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that they wanted to kill Wood Leaf!
In order to prove this, Shisui also quietly intercepted a team and used Genjutsu to interrogate them.
Unfortunately, the other party obviously set up a seal, and the moment they were interrogated, they activated such a seal, and then they died.
However, Shisui still found some relevant information, on the bodies of these guys, there was a map of Wood Leaf, and the position they needed to cross!
This is almost a hundred percent sure that Sand Village really wanted to kill Wood Leaf, so he accepted the mission to assassinate Yondaime Kazekage.
In his mind, Sand Village should go to Wood Leaf in advance, so after he killed him, he can also go to Wood Leaf to see if he can help.
But the current situation gave him a little headache, so far he hasn't found Sand Village.
The place where they ambush is the fastest way to Wood Leaf, and this is the best place to ambush Sand Village.
But today, seeing that the Chunin Exam is about to begin, why hasn't this damn Sand Village made any movement?
This made Shisui's heart really uncomfortable …
…
"Uncle, you don't have a pass, and you don't wear a forehead protector, how can I let you go!"
Outside the Wood Leaf Village, a ninja from the Department of Security looked at the guy in front of him helplessly.
This guy has thick white hair like a lion, and he doesn't have a forehead protector on his forehead, instead, he has a forehead protector with the word "oil" written on it.
Under the corner of his eyes, there are two red eyeliner, which looks like the makeup of a sacrifice.
He was wearing a common grey robe with a red vest on the outside, and there was a huge scroll on his back that seemed to be sealed with something.
In fact, this ninja from the Department of Security has already recognized who the guy in front of him is, so he is so polite and even looks a little wronged.
There is no way, the person in front of him is Jiraiya, one of the Sanin!
If it was in normal times, he would absolutely not dare to stop her, but now is a critical period.
The higher-ups have already issued an order, no matter who it is, they must pass a strict test, so he did not dare to let Jiraiya go.
"Don't call me uncle, I am still young!" Jiraiya replied very unhappily, and then said helplessly: "Can't you send someone to inform me? Kakashi is fine, Ki is also fine, can't you find someone who knows me? "
"He has already gone, he hasn't come back yet." The ninja from the Department of Security said helplessly: "Uncle … No, Big Brother, don't embarrass me anymore."
"Bullshit Big Brother …" Jiraiya scolded, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I will wait."
After Jiraiya finished, he simply went to the side and didn't embarrass this guy anymore.
However, he is also a little strange in his heart. Although the Joint Chunin Exam is very important, isn't this kind of inspection a little too much?
Is it possible that something is going to happen?
…
"Jiraiya -sensei, why are you back?"
In the evening, in the Hokage office, Po Shui Mun looked at his Sensei with a helpless face.
He really didn't expect that his Sensei would come back at this time, this is absolutely beyond his expectation!
Po Shui Mun now feels a headache. Jiraiya has been wandering around these years. His declaration and reason to the outside world is very simple – to hunt down Orochimaru.
This reason is indeed very sufficient, because they were called Sanin in the past, and they grew up together, and they have deep feelings for each other.
In addition, Orochimaru is such a dangerous guy, and it is not realistic for others to go out.
Those who can deal with Orochimaru, those who are strong enough may not have the time to do so.
Needless to say, those who are not strong enough are simply sending themselves to death.
Therefore, Jiraiya personally going to capture Orochimaru is the best result.
Of course, this is also said to the outside world. In fact, Jiraiya knows that Orochimaru is actually a spy of Wood Leaf.
He belongs to the kind of person who would not hesitate to ruin his reputation for Wood Leaf.
It has to be said that this is a wonderful misunderstanding, at least in the past, it was definitely a misunderstanding.
As for now, Kei Uchiha sometimes is inexplicable about Orochimaru's attitude.
That guy is really trying his best to help him, whether it is in research or in some of the things that he planned.
This kind of attitude really makes Kei Uchiha think that Orochimaru simply regards him as Sasuke?
Don't say, this possibility is really big, it is really difficult to figure out what a person like Orochimaru is thinking.
Jiraiya doesn't need to monitor the Akatsuki organization anymore, because he believes in Orochimaru.
However, he also has some other tasks to deal with, these tasks are his own fault.
One of the tasks is to find information about Otsutsuki Ichi, in fact, this task can be regarded as finished, but Jiraiya is still not at ease.
He thinks that his strength may not be able to help Kei Uchiha and the others, so he can use his other advantages.
He can wander the entire Shinobi world unscrupulously, so it is more convenient for him to find the so-called Otsutsuki.
The second point is Tsunade.
During the mission in the Land of Sequoia, he accidentally got information about Tsunade, so he followed him without hesitation.
He followed him for several years, and no one knew when he would come back.
Who knew that he would choose to come back at this time!
Po Shui Mun is really having a headache now, because Jiraiya doesn't know what this Chunin Exam means.
After all, considering the relationship between Jiraiya and Sandaime Hokage, there are some things that he really doesn't dare to tell him.
At most, he will tell Jiraiya everything after it happened.
After all, things have already happened, and it has become an established fact, can it be changed?
And now if this guy knows, and even stays in Wood Leaf, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble.
"Isn't it normal for me to come back?" Jiraiya didn't understand what was going on, he said with a smile on his face: "Do you think that I came back now and disturbed you from work?"
"No … No." Po Shui Mun quickly shook his head: "I just feel a little surprised."
"Surprised?" Jiraiya didn't think so much, but he also has some questions: "By the way, Shui Mun, why did the Chunin Exam become so serious? Even if I come back, I still need a pass, it's really bad luck, I didn't ask you when I went out, and today I sat at the gate until they got off work. "
"This matter …" Po Shui Mun has a headache.
Right now, he was thinking about how to explain this matter.
I'm afraid that it will be a lot of trouble, after all, Sarutobi is Jiraiya's Sensei!
Even if this matter was agreed by Sarutobi himself, but there is also the influence of Kei Uchiha, his own acquiescence, and the cooperation of all the senior leaders of Wood Leaf.
In other words, the death of Sarutobi is inseparable from the entire senior leaders of Wood Leaf!
Although Jiraiya was sad because he was in Wood Leaf, because he saw his Sensei constantly changing, so he left Wood Leaf a long time ago.
But who can guarantee that Jiraiya will not think wrong after knowing the cause of Sarutobi's death, especially in the case of Orochimaru?
Afterwards, he can let Jiraiya see some changes, and naturally, he will be able to explain it.
But now, Sarutobi is dead, I'm afraid that Jiraiya will leave in anger.
Po Shui Mun doesn't want to have any misunderstanding with his Sensei. Along the way, there are three people who have had the greatest influence on him.
One is his wife, Kushina, who always helps him from behind, so that he can deal with everything with peace of mind.
The other is Kei Uchiha, it is because of him that he has a desire for Hokage.
It is also because of him that he came all the way to where he is today, helped him stabilize his position, and learned a lot of things.
The most important thing is that he changed Wood Leaf, and even began to change the Shinobi World!
As for the last one, it is naturally his Sensei, Jiraiya.
If Jiraiya hadn't chosen him, it would have been extremely difficult for him to grow up.
If it weren't for Jiraiya, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have been able to become one of the choices of Sarutobi.
If it weren't for Jiraiya's affirmation and support, I'm afraid that he won't easily participate in Hokage.
If it weren't for Jiraiya …
There are too many reasons for Po Shui Mun to not want to fall out with his Sensei. If it really goes to that step, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
"What's wrong? Is it difficult? " Jiraiya was a little confused, but he immediately felt that there may be some secret in it: "Forget it, if it's too confidential, don't tell me. By the way, I have good news for you. "
"What good news?" Po Shui Mun opened his mouth, and finally the statement turned into a question.
"Tsunade, she decided to come back!" Jiraiya showed a smile: "Isn't it a surprise? It took me a lot of time to convince her! "
"Tsunade -sama …" Po Shui Mun's mentality was a little broken.
Forget about Jiraiya, but now Tsunade came back?
Po Shui Mun really had a headache. Why did Tsunade come back?
Does he want to return to the Thousand-Hand Clan?
To be honest, Wood Leaf is very stable now, and it can even be said that there is almost no place for Tsunade.
The current leader of the Thousand-Hand Clan is Kenta Imai. Although this guy does not intend to change his surname, he is the current head of the Thousand-Hand Clan!
And Tsunade is best at medical ninjutsu, the problem is that the head of the medical department obviously has someone else.
How to arrange for Tsunade has become a problem. In addition, Tsunade is also the disciple of Ape!
Although according to analysis and understanding, it seems that the relationship between the Thousand-Hand Princess and her Sensei is not as good as imagined, otherwise, the Princess would not leave Wood Leaf.
But the reason is the same as Jiraiya, Po Shui Mun really doesn't want to cause trouble for himself!
After thinking about it, Po Shui Mun made a decision, that is, let Jiraiya find Ape by herself.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bit of a dilemma? " Jiraiya glanced at her disciple and immediately thought of something. She couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Tsunade came back to avoid debts, and also to see the current situation of the Thousand-Hand Clan. She doesn't have any thoughts, so don't worry. "
"Is that so?" Po Shui Mun responded with a smile. Although his Sensei sometimes looks silly, he is definitely a very wise person. Taking a deep breath, Po Shui Mun looked at Jiraiya with a serious face: "Sensei, there is one thing I want to tell you, but …"
"If it's not convenient, then don't say it." Jiraiya shook her head: "Please, you are a Hokage, can you show some of the Hokage's aura?"
"It's really not convenient for me to say it, but you must understand this matter." Po Shui Mun shook his head, then took out a pen and a piece of paper, bowed his head and wrote a paragraph: "So, I hope you can go see Sandaime Hokage."
"See the old man?" Jiraiya was also a little confused. Looking at Watergate, who quickly finished writing and then packed the paper and handed it to him, he asked curiously, "What is going on?"
"Sensei, when you see Sandaime Hokage, give him this letter, and he will understand." Po Shui Mun said seriously: "This is very important, I hope Sensei will do it immediately."
"Aren't you afraid that I will peek?"
"No, because there is no substantive content in this letter."
…
At night, in Sarutobi's room, he looked down at the note given to him by his disciple.
There is not much written on this note, only one sentence, "Tell him the truth," but the signature is very clear, that is, Po Shui Mun.
Seeing such a note, Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh, it seems that he still has to help Po Shui Mun.
Time has come to this point, and he doesn't have too many other thoughts.
Although Po Shui Mun used to be his enemy, he has to admire this guy's transformation of Wood Leaf.
Of course, it can also be seen that Kei Uchiha's unique insight has led the entire Wood Leaf on an unimaginable path, but visible to the naked eye.
The current comprehensive strength of Wood Leaf, whether it is the quality of ninjas or the number of ninjas, is the first in the Shinobi World!
And with the deepening of the transformation, especially the assistance plan to the country of Wave and the country of Tea, has now seen results.
Other people can see the benefits of Wood Leaf, how can Sarutobi, who has been sitting in the position of Hokage for so many years, not see it?
In fact, he was able to see even deeper and farther into the distance.
Seeing this, Sarutobi can be half relieved.
As for the other half, it is entirely on his son.
Neither Po Shui Mun nor Kei Uchiha broke their promise, plus his son is really working hard, his son and the group of people following him are now really getting better and better.
His eldest son is dead, he used to be the Root, but because of the Root, his son went to the Anbu and died because of a mission.
Sarutobi didn't blame Po Shui Mun for this matter, perhaps in his opinion, his son, Maru's father, joined the Root, is dead.
He doesn't know if it is compensation, or if Po Shui Mun has completely regarded Asuma as himself.
They actually arranged for Asuma to be the descendant of InoShikaCho as a student, and let him be the mentor of these three little guys!
No matter which one it is, this is a good thing, it can be said that such a legacy will be of great help to his son in the future.
After knowing this matter, Sarutobi has completely put down the matter, and now he is looking forward to the Chunin Exam, his final appearance.
That will be his last performance, that will be his curtain call as a Hokage.
Similarly, he will use his death to tell the next generation that the Shinobi world is never a peaceful place, and as a Hokage, even if he dies, he will protect them!
Sarutobi can betray everyone, but he will never betray Wood Leaf, this is who he is.
And for him, instead of sitting at home and slowly growing old, slowly feeling the passing of life, it is better to fight fiercely and become a Hokage who dies in battle!
It is better to fight a vigorous battle and become a Hokage who dies in battle!
Po Shui Mun and Kei Uchiha are good to him, and I have to say that this is very strange.
Perhaps it is because he recognized the reality that they are good to him, right?
When they were still enemies, they were not polite to him, completely not considering that he is an old man.
He was even the Grandmaster of the Wave Wind Water Sect.
Shaking his head helplessly, Sarutobi felt a little funny in his heart.
But soon he made a decision, since this is the case, and he has figured it out, it is not a problem to help him again.
After all, helping him is also helping his disciple.
"I understand." Sarutobi nodded, and then quickly printed with his hands, and suddenly a soundproof enchantment appeared.
"I didn't see it, old man, you are still in good shape." Jiraiya said with a little surprise.
"Humph, that is natural." Sarutobi smiled and did not say anything. Naturally, it is necessary to maintain a good condition, after all, he still has a magnificent curtain call. If he doesn't exercise well and do rehabilitation exercises seriously, how can he do all of this?
"So, what is it?" Jiraiya is now full of curiosity. "So serious, and still using a soundproof enchantment."
"This is very important, very important." Sarutobi took a deep breath. "You have to be prepared, Jiraiya. Remember, you must completely bury today's words in your heart! "
…
Late at night, Jiraiya left Sarutobi's house alone, his expression looked a little silent and dignified.
The moonlight slowly shone on his body, pulling out a long shadow, the summer wind rolled up his hair and clothes, the whole person looked a little lonely.
After a long time, he looked up at the Hokage Rock, looked at the third statue, and then seemed to fall into a state of thinking.
Dogs barked from time to time in the Wood Leaf Street, and cicadas constantly repeated the sound of cicadas.
After a long time, Jiraiya's eyes became firm, he seemed to feel a unique will.
Perhaps, this is the will of fire …
