Chapter 46 The Fifth Hokage: Jiraiya (Seeking Follow-Up Reading)

Senju Tobirama also knew about the existence of the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

During the years when the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were fighting, Mount Myōboku sent a toad to find the brothers, Hashira Tobirama, and wanted them to write their names on the summoning scroll of Mount Myōboku.

Facing the toads that suddenly came to his door, Tobirama would not let them become his and his elder brother's summoning beasts before he knew the details.

So during the investigation, he learned some things about the big toad sage.

He knew that this toad had the ability to predict the future.

To be honest, Tobirama at that time was very disgusted with the abilities of divination, fate, and prophecy.

Anyway, fate has arranged everything, and prophecy has accurately predicted their success.

So do they still need to work hard?

Just lie down.

However, Senju Tobirama is not such a character. He does not believe in any prophecy. He only believes that man can conquer nature.

Seeing Jiraiya firmly believe in the big toad, Tobirama was quite unhappy.

"Jiraiya, you want to be a traitor?"

"What? Second-generation master, don't joke."

Obviously, Tobirama's words frightened Jiraiya.

Not only Jiraiya, but even the Third-generation Hokage said, "Teacher, did you make a mistake? How could Jiraiya want to be a traitor?"

Tobirama looked at the Third-generation Hokage and said, "Does Jiraiya often not return to the village? And does he not perform village tasks?"

The Third-generation Hokage was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and replied with difficulty, "That's right."

"A ninja who often does not return to the village and does not perform village tasks, do you dare to say that such a person is not a traitor?"

Looking at the strong Tobirama, the Third-generation Hokage and Jiraiya were speechless.

If you really follow the rules of the village strictly, Jiraiya's behavior can indeed be regarded as a traitor.

"Yes, yes, Jiraiya can definitely be considered a traitor."

Lying on the ground, Orochimaru laughed out loud when he saw Jiraiya's pained look.

Adhering to the principle of watching the fun, Orochimaru affirmed Tobirama's words.

"Orochimaru, shut up."

Jiraiya was already annoyed, and Orochimaru took the opportunity to make trouble for him. At this moment, he wanted to slap Orochimaru twice to let him know what to say and what not to say.

"Second-generation sir, why don't you let Tsunade come back to be the fifth generation Hokage? She is more suitable than me."

"Tsunade?"

Seeing Tobirama looking thoughtful, Jiraiya continued while the iron was hot: "Yes, whether from her own background, strength or personality, she is the most suitable one."

After hearing what Jiraiya said, Tobirama did think that Tsunade was also a good candidate.

But he knew his granddaughter. If nothing particularly disappointed her, she would not leave the village.

It would be extremely difficult to get her to come back and become Hokage.

Moreover, he also knew that his granddaughter had the same hobby as his elder brother.

"I won't ask how difficult it is to find Tsunade. I will just ask one thing: are you ready for her to leave the village?"

That's right, Tsunade's hobby is gambling, and she always loses. Except for winning against her elder brother Hashirama Senju when they were young, he has never seen Tsunade win again.

After thinking about it, Tobirama felt that it would be better not to take such a big risk.

"Monkey, you don't want the village to be lost to Tsunade, do you?"

"."

"It's decided, let Jiraiya become the fifth Hokage."

"Then Tsunade"

"Don't consider her."

After making the decision, Tobirama looked at Jiraiya again and said sternly: "If you dare to run, I will let Monkey announce that you have become a traitor to Konoha. Don't you want to find a child of destiny outside? Then you might as well not come back to the village."

"But Second Generation, the child of destiny is really very important."

"Important as hell."

Tobirama didn't give Jiraiya any face at all, and angrily scolded: "What qualifications does that big toad have to ask the ninjas of Konoha Village to help him find a child of destiny? I ask you, is that illusory child of destiny more important, or is the village more important?"

"This"

Jirai was also in a dilemma.

Because he felt that the big toad sage would never lie to him.

It said that this child of destiny would bring changes to the ninja world, and it would definitely be as it said.

And he, Jiraiya, needs to find this person as soon as possible and guide him to grow in a good direction.

Compared with the safety of the entire ninja world, the village's affairs naturally have to be put aside.

Of course, he dare not say this in front of the second generation Hokage, otherwise he will be beaten.

"Believe me, Jiraiya, instead of searching aimlessly, it is better to stay in the village. Maybe the child of destiny you are looking for will show up by himself."

"How is this possible."

Jiraiya didn't really believe what Tobirama said.

He had been looking for the child of destiny for so many years but couldn't find him. How could he suddenly appear?

"You can ask your teacher for details."

After that, Tobirama turned to look at the Third Hokage and continued, "You should understand what I mean."

The Third Hokage nodded, "I understand."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Orochimaru, who was lying on the ground, had an idea.

He remembered the light curtain that Tobirama had just mentioned.

Could it be that this light curtain not only allowed them to appear here, but also helped find people?

Orochimaru was already full of interest in this so-called light curtain.

If he hadn't been sealed and unable to move, he would have shaken his tongue.

At this moment, a soft light curtain emanated from the bodies of Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Kagami.

Tobirama knew that their time had come.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back."

"Remember, Monkey. If Jiraiya dares to run away, he will be made a traitor."

"For the sake of the village, this is not the time to be soft-hearted."

After saying this, Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Kagami disappeared from the eyes of the Third Hokage and others.

"Old man, what is going on?"

Without Tobirama, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became casual.

"I will tell you when you officially become the Fifth Hokage."

".Okay."

The matter was settled, and Jiraiya could only agree helplessly.

He knew the Third Hokage. If he really dared to run away and not be the Fifth Hokage, then the old man would really dare to list him as a traitor.

With the Second Hokage backing him up, he could really do it.

"What about Orochimaru? What are you going to do with him?"

"Orochimaru."

Looking at Orochimaru with a complicated expression, the Third Hokage sighed and said, "Just put him in prison first."

Orochimaru didn't care about the punishment he would receive next.

With the old man and the idiot Jiraiya around, he would not die anyway.

Even if he died, he would have a backup plan to revive.

"Orochimaru, you won't run away, right?"

The three people present knew that the prison in the village could not hold Orochimaru.

"Don't worry, I won't run away."

Just kidding, he wouldn't run away before he figured out what the light curtain was.

"Okay Jiraiya, send Orochimaru and these people to prison together."

"What about you, old man?"

"Me? Of course I'll go home to rest and recuperate."

"Okay, then you go back and rest first."

Neither of them was worried about the current battle situation, because the Konoha ninjas had been suppressing the Sound and Sand ninjas.

I believe that in a little while, this war will be completely over.

And Jiraiya's career as Hokage is about to begin.

Jiraiya: I really don't want to be Hokage!
