Chapter 232 Jiraiya: Kato Dan, Tsunade Misses You!

The Fourth Raikage: "..."

Previously, the Fourth Raikage objectively evaluated Senju Tobirama's strength level.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qianju Tojian came back with a strange anger.

"What's the situation on the other side of Iwagakure Village and Kirigakure Village?"

The Fourth Raikage originally didn't care about the other two ninja villages.

But now, the Fourth Raikage had to make his next move based on the situation of the other two ninja villages.

"Back to Raikage-sama, there is still no movement over at Kirigakure Village."

"Not moving?"

"Yes, the Kirigakure army did not attack. It was just a battle between the Black Hoe Thunder Fang and the resurrected Metadai."

The Fourth Raikage's expression suddenly became even more ugly.

"Why is this Kirigakure so selfish?"

"So unsighted?"

"No sense of the overall situation at all!"

"A low-level ninja village is a low-level ninja village!"

"What's the use of a ninja coming out to fight?"

"Is this playing my role in Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Or did they get the news in advance?"

At the beginning, the Fourth Raikage didn't care about Kirigakure Village.

Hearing that the Kirigakure Village was adopting a conservative strategy, the Fourth Raikage sneered.

But now, Kumogakure's army encountered difficulties, and the Fourth Raikage's mentality was different.

I never cared about Kirigakure Village before.

It has turned into now hoping that Kirigakure Village can take action to attract Konoha's energy.

However, Kirigakure Village's strategy is unlikely to change because of the Fourth Raikage.

"Where is Iwagakure Village?"

"Iwagakure Village is also under restrictions."

The intelligence ninja said quickly.

"The two resurrected ninjas led by Shimura Danzo, one is Uzumaki Kushina, and the other is Hatake Sakumo."

"These two people..."

Given the current situation, the Fourth Raikage couldn't help but show a strange expression when he heard these two names.

The former died not long ago.

During the production, the seal was broken by Kyuubi, leading to the Kyuubi Rebellion.

The Fourth Raikage heard that someone was behind the plot, but he didn't get the specific identity.

It was precisely because of the birth of Kushina Uzumaki that the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, causing heavy casualties in Konoha.

Even Namikaze Minato died on the spot.

Konoha was now faced with a situation where there was no chance of surrender.

Therefore, many people in Konoha are dissatisfied with Uzumaki Kushina.

I think Uzumaki Kushina should not have given birth.

In addition to the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Uzumaki Kushina also has a certain responsibility.

And the Hatake Sakumo incident was even more uproar that year.

It even caused a large-scale discussion.

What is the most important thing to a ninja?

Task?

life?

companion?

Village?

Benefit?

When Hatake Sakumo was on a mission, he gave up the mission in order to save his companions.

Because of the failure of the mission, Konoha faced huge losses.

Let Konoha be questioned by the client.

Suddenly, the number of task delegations dropped significantly.

Hatake Sakumo chose to commit suicide because he blamed himself too much or could not bear the criticism from the outside world.

"Resurrect these two controversial ninjas who are questioned by the villagers of Konoha and continue to fight for Konoha?"

"Why not resurrect Namikaze Minato?"

"Not resurrecting Senju Hashirama?"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered.

"Because you don't want to?"

"No, the greater probability is because it can't be done."

"It's not realistic to hold the trump card at the bottom of the box, given the current situation in Konoha."

The Fourth Raikage thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this case, it proves that the situation in Konoha is not good enough to defeat the three major ninja villages."

"For me, Yunyin Village, there are nothing more than two choices."

"One, give it your all and give it a try."

"It has reached this level, and the hatred with Konoha is basically impossible to resolve."

"The stronger Konoha is not invincible."

"However, this requires the cooperation of Kirigakure and Iwagakure."

"Two, give up the plan to defeat Konoha and retreat slowly, but..."

"This is too frustrating."

"We have forced Konoha to this level. If we retreat, we will never have such an opportunity again."

"Moreover, even if we retreat, we must retreat with value."

"For example, find out what conditions are required for Konoha to resurrect these ninjas and what price they pay..."

The intelligence ninja continued.

"Shimura Danzo designed an ambush trap, and Lao Zi from Iwagakure Village fell into the trap. Uzumaki Kushina took action to contain Lao Zi so that Lao Zi couldn't use his tailed beast power."

"By the time other people in Iwagakure found out, it was already too late."

"Konoha threatened Lao Zi's life to stop the Iwagakure army."

The Fourth Raikage: "..."

When the information ninja said this, the Fourth Raikage thought how bad it could be.

The co-author was just one of the Jinchūriki being captured.

So far, Yunyin Village has suffered the biggest loss?

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered.

"Is this Senju Tobirama's revenge on my Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Revenge for killing him by Golden Horn and Silver Horn?"

"But my second-generation Raikage of Yunyin Village, didn't he die in the hands of Golden Horn and Silver Horn?"

"Speaking of which, my father even avenged him."

The fourth Raikage looked towards the direction of the Konoha army again, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

But.

"Listen to my orders, retreat for the time being!"

The fourth Raikage knew that in the current situation, retreating temporarily was the best choice.

Forced attack, taking, can also take down the Konoha ninja army.

Even if there are Jiraiya, Senju Tobirama, and Kato Dan on the opposite side.

But the advantage of the number of the Kumogakure army is real.

Konoha collapsed in one blow, and the fierce attack of the Kumogakure Village can get the greatest benefit.

But once Konoha cannot be easily defeated, the fierce attack of the Kumogakure Village is equivalent to making wedding clothes for the Mist Village and the Rock Village. This kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others is impossible for the fourth Raikage to do.

With the order of the fourth Raikage, the Kumogakure army slowly retreated.

Jiraiya was stunned.

Konoha's disastrous defeat, the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and Minato's death, this series of events, gave Jiraiya a great blow.

Jiraiya actually didn't agree with the Impure World Reincarnation at first, but he was in a bad mood at the time and didn't say it out loud.

But now, Konoha has indeed relied on the Impure World Reincarnation to block the attack of the three major ninja villages.

"Does it mean that Orochimaru's path is the right one?"

"Teacher Sarutobi, the paths chosen by me and Minato are all wrong?"

Jiraiya had some doubts in his heart.

"But Orochimaru is far from the child of destiny described by the Toad Sage."

"But Orochimaru is already the Hokage."

The Hokage is the first person in Konoha.

Whether it is the abdicated Sarutobi Hiruzen.

or the resurrected Senju Tobirama, they are not the real Hokage of Konoha now.

Konoha.

Hokage Building.

Orochimaru is sitting in the Hokage's office.

Three Anbu ninjas came to Orochimaru and reported to him.

"Hokage-sama."

"The Kumogakure army has retreated."

"The Iwagakure army has retreated."

"The Kirigakure army has not made any moves yet."

Orochimaru nodded and smiled.

"I know. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

After the Anbu ninja left, Orochimaru looked at the battlefield direction of Konoha against the Kirigakure army from a distance.

"Teacher Sarutobi, do you still think that I am not as good as Minato as the Hokage candidate?"

"I saved Konoha."

But soon, Orochimaru's smile was restrained.

"However, this is just overcoming the first difficulty."

"Next, the Kumogakure village will definitely try every means to obtain information about the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and how to deal with it."

"It is impossible to withdraw completely and end the war so easily."

"The current Impure World Reincarnation Technique has too many flaws."

"I need to improve it."

After dealing with the documents on hand, Orochimaru immediately entered the laboratory.

Seeing the Kumogakure army retreat, Senju Tobirama returned to the Konoha camp.

"Senior Tobirama."

Senju Tobirama looked at Jiraiya, the "young man" with the same hair color as himself.

Jiraiya's performance before, Senju Tobirama saw it.

Then, Senju Tobirama thought of Orochimaru, the successor to Hokage.

"Hiruzen has trained several good disciples!"

Kato Dan trotted over here, and when he saw Senju Tobirama, he was obviously nervous.

It was like abducting someone's daughter and meeting for the first time.

In fact, Kato Dan was indeed Tsunade's legitimate and formal lover.

It was completely different from Jiraiya who only secretly loved Tsunade behind her back.

Senju Tobirama was not Tsunade's father, but he was also an elder and a close second grandfather.

"Senior Tobirama."

Senju Tobirama looked at Kato Dan.

"Kato Dan, you used the spirit transformation technique well."

"Senior Tobirama, you are too kind. I just played a little harassment role. It was you, Senior Tobirama, who caused greater deterrence to the Hidden Cloud Village and stopped them."

Senju Tobirama nodded slightly.

"The situation here has stabilized a little. I need to return to the village as soon as possible. You two guard here. If there is any situation, report to the village in time."

"Yes, Senior Tobirama."

Jiraiya and Kato Dan nodded at the same time.

The next moment.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Senju Tobirama's figure disappeared.

There were only two people left.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

The main reason was that Jiraiya knew that Kato Dan was Tsunade's lover.

And Kato Dan also knew that Jiraiya had a crush on Tsunade.

The two were not rivals in love, but they seemed to be rivals in love.

Afterwards, it was Kato Dan who took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Jiraiya, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

"Is Tsunade okay now?"

After resurrecting, Kato Dan received the order to fight for Konoha before he figured out the situation.

Kato Dan had nothing to say about this.

Even the resurrected Senju Tobirama was like this, so he had no reason to refuse.

However, compared to the village, Kato Dan actually cared more about Tsunade's situation.

Jiraiya was silent for a while.

"Not sure."

"After the Second Ninja World War ended, Tsunade's mood became increasingly depressed, and she also suffered from hemophobia, and could not continue to do the work of a ninja, whether it was a combat ninja or a medical ninja."

"So Tsunade left the village."

"I haven't seen her for a long time."

Kato Dan was stunned for a moment.

"Hemophobia?"

Suddenly, Kato Dan seemed to have thought of something.

"Because of me?"

The death of the rope tree was before Kato was cut off.

Therefore, Kato Dan can be sure that Tsunade did not suffer from hemophobia due to the death of Naoki.

Then there is a high probability that it is because of yourself.

Jiraiya didn't want to admit it.

Because this incident shows how much Tsunade cares about Kato Dan.

However, I had to nod.

There was a trace of remorse on Kato Dan's face.

"I'm really useless."

"If you don't tell me that you are dead, you will implicate Tsunade."

"I'm such a terrible person."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then comforted Kato Dan.

"If you were a terrible person, Tsunade wouldn't like you, and she wouldn't care about the level of hemophobia you suffer from. Since you have been resurrected, let's go see Tsunade."

"After the war is over."

"She must miss you very much."

Jiraiya only felt that when he said these words, it hurt, as if his heart was bleeding.

It's obvious that he likes Tsunade so much.

But at this time, she had to comfort Tsunade's dead lover.

Jiraiya felt like he was so stuffy that he almost couldn't breathe.

"I will, Jiraiya, thank you, you are a good person."

Jiraiya: "..."

This sentence was a compliment, but at this time, Jiraiya didn't want to hear it.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere became awkward again.

Neither of them knew what to say.

"I'm going to get some air."

Jiraiya walked out of the tent.

…

…

Osamu Uehara looked at the letter in his hand and opened it. After seeing the content on the letter, his eyes flickered.

"Sure enough, if Orochimaru comes to power, Konoha will inevitably use the art of reincarnation."

"A village that is already on the verge of collapse will not care about morals or immorality. The dead will not die."

"To live is the only thing I want."

"Even at any cost."

"Matt Dai, Sarutobi Sasuke, Senju Tobirama, and those who can harvest the lives of Kumogakure ninjas invisibly... are most likely Kato Dan's spiritual transformation techniques."

"This must be just the beginning."

"Once this hole is opened, Konoha will definitely not reincarnate just these few people."

"Perhaps, people like Konoha will not be willing to just save Konoha."

"It is quite possible that he will want to retaliate."

"Bring back the dignity that Konoha deserves."

"You might even go too far."

"A bigger and more intense war is coming!"

Kaguya Izumi trotted over.

"Mr. Minister."

"Um?"

"Zhongji is here."

Osamu Uehara's eyes lit up slightly.

"arrive?"

"Just landed on the island."

Osamu Uehara nodded.

"Let him wait at the Contract House. I'll go there when I'm done."

"Yes, Sir Minister."

Uehara Shu put the letter away, packed it up briefly, and then walked towards the Contract House with the soul-stealing knife.

A young man noticed Uehara Shu and hurriedly came up to him.

"Uehara-sama?"

"Zhongji?"

"I am."

"come in."
