Chapter 237 The Third Hokage's Surprise

"If they pursue peace blindly, Akatsuki will never see the day of true peace."

After hearing this, Bai Ye and Nagato looked at each other and were stunned.

This sentence sounds fine, but the problem is that it came from Yahiko's mouth.

What is Yahiko? He is the holy father of Akatsuki. He would rather die in Nagato's hands in exchange for Konan's life and cooperation with the Hidden Rain Village.

Now he has shown such a tough attitude, which makes Bai Ye, a conservative, a little ashamed.

Nagato even took a step forward and said in a caring tone: "Yahiko, have you been too hard recently? You are talking nonsense. This is not your style."

"That's right..." Bai Ye nodded, and then said:

"Bai Ye, Nagato, you are too extreme. Bringing the leader of Kusagakure Village here in this way will not convince the other party, nor will you get real peace."

"This is what you should say. After all, you are the extreme brother."

"What is the extreme brother?"

Yahiko wiped the sweat from his forehead. He just said his true feelings very seriously, but it seemed that they were taken as a joke.

And what's wrong with Bai Ye?

Isn't my previous persuasion regarded as nonsense? How come I remember it so clearly, and even learned his expression vividly.

After coughing and clearing his throat, Yahiko regained his seriousness:

"You did a good job this time, but please don't do this next time. If the operation fails, we will have a grudge with the Hidden Grass Village, which violates the organization's concept of unity and cooperation."

"That's right."

Bai Ye and Nagato both nodded, approving of Yahiko's expression.

Yahiko's character is the leader of the doves. If he steals the words of the hawks, what else can the hawks say? Is it too mild and too conservative to start these wars?

Seeing the expressions of Bai Ye and Nagato, Yahiko's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally thought that after so many years of getting along, everyone had changed, but now it seems that they have changed but not completely changed.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Yahiko walked towards the office.

After Bai Ye and Nagato brought the leader of the Hidden Grass Village over, their work was over, and his work had just begun.

It is necessary to design a more reasonable plan that is beneficial to both parties.

…

After traveling for half a year, Jiraiya set foot on the land of the Land of Fire.

After seeing the huge statue of the Valley of the End and the familiar faces on the Shadow Rock, Jiraiya suddenly felt more at ease, and even the fatigue on his body was swept away.

No matter how beautiful the scenery in various parts of the Ninja World is, Konoha is still the hometown he can't leave.

After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya walked into the Konoha Ninja Village, and appeared in the Hokage's office a few minutes later, and saw the Third Hokage smoking.

The Third Hokage teacher always couldn't give up the bad habit of smoking. When he was in a good mood, he would help cheer up, and when he was in a bad mood, he would have a cigarette to suppress the bad mood. Anyway, he could find an excuse to have a few cigarettes.

"Old man, smoking is bad for your health."

The Third Hokage glanced at Jiraiya, and then said: "I know smoking is bad, but writing 18+ books is not a good hobby, it is also very harmful to your health."

Jiraiya hurriedly explained: "Old man, you know that I have always been clean. I went to the red moon places just to collect materials, and I never had any other ideas."

"If you have other ideas, you are still a normal person."

The Third Hokage complained in his heart, and then asked Jiraiya: "Calculate the time, you have been out for more than half a year. Have you gained anything in the past six months? Have you found Orochimaru?"

When Orochimaru's name was mentioned, Jiraiya became more serious, and then said:

"I have seen Orochimaru several times, but no matter how I persuaded him, he never thought of coming back. With my strength, I am not his opponent."

Are you really not Orochimaru's opponent... The Third Hokage was too lazy to expose Jiraiya's true thoughts.

Jiraiya couldn't kill Orochimaru, and even his teacher was the same. He couldn't kill the proud student he cultivated.

Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have had the chance to escape.

After all, although Orochimaru is strong, he is his teacher, knows all the moves mastered by Orochimaru, and has a very strong ability to restrain him.

After taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage asked: "In addition to the news about Orochimaru, what else have you gained?"

Jiraiya nodded, and then began to talk about his experience of traveling to various countries.

After hearing that Jiraiya traveled to various countries and met all kinds of ninjas, the Third Hokage also showed envy in his eyes. He also wanted to see the prosperity of the ninja world in person.

Unfortunately, he never had the time.

Before becoming Hokage, he had been working under Teacher Tobirama and experienced the most brutal first Ninja World War.

After becoming Hokage, because of his identity as Hokage, he could not leave easily.

So he stayed near Konoha Ninja Village and Daimyo Castle. The farthest he reached was the border of Konoha and commanded the Second Ninja World War.

In this era of undercurrents, he can't leave the village easily.

He envied Jiraiya's carefreeness very much. Perhaps it was because Jiraiya knew that the position of Hokage was a constraint that he always refused to become Hokage.

After talking about the civil situation in various countries in the ninja world, Jiraiya began to talk about his experience as a guest in the Hidden Rain Village.

Unlike traveling to other countries, many high-level officials in the Hidden Rain Village are Jiraiya's apprentices. This time, Jiraiya even visited the interior of the Hidden Rain Village and exchanged a lot of experiences.

After hearing that the ninja school in the Hidden Rain Village is a seven- to nine-year education, the Third Hokage was slightly startled.

Nowadays, the six-year system of the ninja school is already the limit he has achieved by balancing multiple forces. The purpose is to first let the Genin who graduated from the ninja school have the quality close to that of the Chunin.

But I didn't expect that the Hidden Rain Village actually implemented a seven- to nine-year education. Is this directly training the captain of the Chunin?

Jiraiya saw the surprise of the Third Hokage and hurriedly explained: "Old man, the Hidden Rain Village does not want Pei to directly train Chunin, but to train talents in many aspects."

"Bai Ye and Yahiko also believe that ninjas have many careers to choose from besides mercenaries, and they want to popularize chakra education among the villagers of the Hidden Rain Village so that everyone can master one or two ninjutsu."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage fell silent.

Let all villagers learn ninjutsu and become ninjas. This is a policy that even Tobirama Sensei dare not imagine. Is the Hidden Rain Village so bold and radical?
