Chapter 211 The Third Hokage's Methods

Half a month later, Jiraiya led the Konoha ninja back to the village.

As the heroes who ended the war, Jiraiya and the other ninjas were welcomed by the villagers.

The villagers didn't care whether Konoha and the Fire Country lost their interests in this war, nor did they care whether Konoha's reputation as the number one ninja village was shaken.

After experiencing the Third Ninja War, the Night of the Nine-Tails and the Kumogakure War.

Both the villagers and the ninjas of Konoha Ninja Village are tired of the war. They just want to enjoy the hard-won peace and don't want to let their relatives and friends set foot on the battlefield again.

After the welcome ceremony, Jiraiya and others were invited to the Hokage Building conference room.

Unlike the flowers and applause outside the Hokage Building, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Hokage Building was extremely solemn, making people a little breathless.

Feeling the silent atmosphere in the conference room, Jiraiya quietly lowered his head.

Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Fugaku and others also felt the heavy atmosphere, and their faces became gloomy. This was not like a commendation meeting, but rather like a deliberate scolding of them.

This is also true. Although Konoha did not lose in this war, it was not much different from losing.

After looking around, Shimura Danzo said calmly:

"Jiraiya, I heard that when you signed the peace agreement with Kumogakure this time, you gave up the alliance agreement with Yugakure Village and agreed to withdraw your troops from Yuno Country?"

Jiraiya nodded in disbelief, he indeed led the ninjas to withdraw from the country of Yu.

After a pause, Shimura Danzo continued: "Jiraiya, do you know how much damage the withdrawal from the Kingdom of Yu will bring to the village? Other allies will also have doubts about the alliance agreement after knowing this."

"This is already the most favorable condition I can strive for, and the village has not sent follow-up troops to support... If Danzo Jonin sits on the front line, the situation will probably be even worse than this."

Jiraiya stared at Shimura Danzo and said, he is not afraid of the leader of the Root Organization.

Danzo was immediately speechless. He really didn't make much contribution in this war. His newly recruited root members had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and Tenzo was still being trained.

However, Jiraiya actually refused to give him face in public, and he would remember this offense in his heart.

Seeing that Jiraiya and Danzo were about to quarrel, Koharu quickly stood up and said:

"Danzo, Jiraiya's contribution this time is still very great. Without Jiraiya, this battlefield might have lasted for a few more years."

Mito Menyan also nodded:

"Koharu is right. Jiraiya has made great contributions this time. It would be better if he could keep the treaty with Yugakure."

"I just didn't expect Yuyin Village to be so ambitious. They took advantage of our war with Yunyin to win over Tangyin and sign an alliance agreement with Yuyin Village. However, as long as Yunyin Village doesn't get the Kingdom of Yunyin, it can't attack us. pose a fatal threat."

Jiraiya glanced at Danzo, who was attacking him, and then at the advisory duo acting as peacemakers.

He probably understood the intentions of these seniors. On the surface, they suppressed him, but in fact, they wanted to rely on suppressing themselves to suppress Hinata and Uchiha who had made great achievements on the battlefield.

While these old guys were chattering endlessly, the third generation teacher did not react at all, as if he acquiesced to the actions of Danzo and others.

Why do you do this? The village can't even distinguish between rewards and punishments?

Or, do the Hokage and other factions really exist in the village? Can't you be a little more tolerant towards Uchiha?

After thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed softly, suddenly feeling that staying in the village was meaningless.

For the next time, Jiraiya continued to attend meetings in an absent-minded state, and only nodded and shook his head when asked by others.

As the meeting progressed, Uchiha Fugaku's mood became worse and worse.

Danzo and others even suppressed Jiraiya, and did not mention Uchiha's contribution. This made him anxious and couldn't help but get angry on the spot.

At this time, Danzo seemed to remember something and said to Uchiha Fugaku: "Chief Fugaku, I heard that Shisui Ninja opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Is this true?"

After mentioning the Mangekyō, Fugaku said proudly: "Shisui did activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he also defeated the Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, and he did not fall behind when fighting the Eight-Tailed Jinchuriki."

"I see…"

Danzo nodded and then said: "Since Shisui defeated the two-tailed jinchuriki, where is the two-tailed jinchuriki now? Why don't you use the jinchuriki in exchange for Kumogakure's concession?"

"Um..." Fugaku frowned. He didn't know the whereabouts of the two-tailed Jinchuuriki.

Seeing that Fugaku was unwilling to answer this question, Danzo said:

"Chief Fugaku, are you saying that the second-tailed jinchuriki is dead? The second-tailed jinchuriki should not die so easily."

Faced with Danzo's sudden attack, Jiraiya couldn't help but said: "Duanzo Jonin, the two-tailed Jinchuuriki are dead, and Byakuya can prove this."

"Byakuya?" Danzo said unceremoniously: "Can a foreigner be trusted? I wonder if you Uchiha hid the second tail secretly."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku said angrily:

"Danzo, please don't slander anyone. Shisui can't hide the two tails, and when Uchiha is fighting life and death on the front line, what are you and your roots doing?"

Danzo said expressionlessly: "Who knows if you Uchiha are in disguise, and Shisui didn't open the Mangekyō Sharingan earlier or later, but opened it at this time. Who knows what he did with the Mangekyō."

As soon as these words came out, the ninjas here perked up and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

They all heard the implication of Danzo. Danzo not only questioned whether Uchiha secretly hid the two-tailed beast, but also pointed the spearhead of the Nine-tailed Night at Uchiha Shisui.

In addition, Shisui could defeat the two-tailed Jinchūriki, so he could control the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki.

Being watched by so many people, Fugaku's face became more and more ugly. He really hoped that Uchiha had the strength to launch the Nine-tailed Rebellion, and he didn't have to hide in the clan territory at the beginning.

But the Mangekyō Sharingan does have the ability to control the tailed beasts, and Shisui is very suspicious.

This is also something he did not expect. He thought that the appearance of the Mangekyō could increase the voice of the family, but he did not expect it to cause Danzo's targeting and suspicion.

If no one stood up to speak for Uchiha at this time, Uchiha would surely become the target of public criticism.

At this time, the Third Hokage, who had been sitting in the main seat and remained silent, slowly said:

"Danzo, don't continue. I watched Shisui grow up. I believe Shisui is a good boy. He will never do anything to harm the village."

"If he really has any conspiracy, he will not use the Mangekyō Sharingan to protect his companions."
