Chapter 222 One Tail Was Caught (Subscription Request)

"It turns out that the jonin is really the high-end combat power in this world. It seems that the information from the Saki family is correct."

Sitting alone on a bench in Konoha Park, Shanks looked at the children playing ninja games in front of him gently. "Although Hyuga Ryosuke is young, perhaps because of his unique talent, he has such a terrifying strength."

"He should be considered the top level in this ninja world."

After staying in Konoha Village for a while, getting a lot of information about ninjas, and seeing the ninja level division and corresponding combat power level, Shanks's mood was not as heavy as when he first entered the village.

The profession of ninja is not as scary as he imagined.

There are only a few people like Hyuga Ryosuke in this world, and even in the current Konoha Village, there may not be ninjas stronger than him.

At this time, in Shanks's observation Haki,

There is a ninja hiding in the trees at a distance behind where he is sitting.

The monitor was so easily discovered by the monitored, and he himself seemed to have not realized this, thinking that he was hiding in the tree, which was a bit immature.

His vigilance was definitely much worse than many people he had seen in the Hyuga clan.

"It should be... a ninja at the level of Chunin, and he does not have any bloodline limit."

While watching the children playing in front of him, Shanks evaluated in his mind, "But these bloodline limit families are really cheating, just like eating a devil fruit, they are much stronger than ordinary ninjas all of a sudden, especially the Hyuga."

"The ability of those eyes, plus the number, they are definitely a group of guys worth paying attention to..."

Finally, he is no longer the "mountain savage" who is completely in the dark. Shanks has also gained some knowledge of the world's military system, and can more or less judge the level of some people's combat power. After all, he also has a strong combat power and experience.

He was not surprised that he was being monitored, and he could even guess why he was being monitored, which was nothing more than because he had contact with the Hyuga.

Not only himself, but even Nozomi Saki, who was truly an ordinary person, was also under surveillance.

And the Anbu, who was hiding in the dark,

under the instructions of the Konoha high-level to monitor people who had close contact with Hyuga, did not know that he had been discovered. In his understanding, this man who looked imposing and difficult to mess with was just an ordinary person, probably some noble official of the Land of Fire.

It was also because the target was an ordinary person that this task was his turn to complete.

"Hyuga... has been making a lot of small moves recently."

For the fourth time,

When Mitomono En knocked on the door of the Hokage's office for the fourth time and reported this to Jiraiya, he got the same answer again.

"Then what good ideas do you have?"

Jiraiya struggled to stick his head out from the pile of documents and replied in a half-dead tone.

"..."

In an instant, Mitomono En lost the ability to speak again,

He was choked in his chest with a breath, not knowing how to vent.

"The first time you said that the Hyuga had ulterior motives, they were secretly training their own ninja army."

Unfortunately, he didn't speak, but Jiraiya was really annoyed, and he scolded coldly: "At that time, I explained to you that I had known about this matter for a long time, and the Hyuga didn't intend to hide it from Konoha or other families."

"What do you mean secretly? They are training their own ninja army openly! They buy ninja tools, buy medicines... They are replenishing the foundation of the Hyuga!"

"You don't need to report these to me, I know them all, even better than you."

"But after I told you, I asked you what we should do? If you don't speak, you can't do anything, then I can't do anything, I can't do anything to them, the Hyuga!"

The tone of his voice unconsciously became louder.

"The second time, you said that Advisor Koharu sent you a letter saying that the Hyuga family's team disobeyed orders along the way, delayed the progress of the mission, and treated a large group of them as free caregivers, bodyguards, and labor."

"But what? In the meeting before departure, I had already handed over the command of their clan in this mission to them under your persuasion. I can't command them."

"So I can only give you an answer, send a letter to tell Utatane Koharu that if the progress of the mission is really delayed, the team can rush to the Rain Country first, but do they dare? They don't dare, they need the Hyuga's reconnaissance and perception ability!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya was really a little angry and stood up suddenly.

"The third time, the Hyuga people left the village privately, and you didn't report to me, but secretly sent people to follow them, but lost them, and then came back to complain to me."

"To be honest, I think it's a blessing in disguise that your people can come back safely. If your people can't come back, what attitude do you think we should use in Konoha to treat the Hyuga? Tear up the face? Expel them from the village?"

He slapped his hands on the table, his face was very ugly, "Wake up, Mitomon advisor, Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the past, and Hyuga is no longer the Hyuga of the past."

"They will show their force so blatantly, which is enough to explain the problem. They are not the wolves of Uchiha who can't hide!"

"And... I am the Hokage. You have repeatedly relied on your qualifications and actions without telling me, the Hokage. Aren't you a little too arrogant!"

Jiraiya was angry, not entirely because of the problem of Hyuga, but more because the two Hokage advisors, Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu, have been doing small tricks behind the scenes.

Obviously, they forced him to take the position, but what was the result? After he took the position, these two old guys began to point fingers.

One warning, two warnings, only made them hide their actions deeper, so that he could not track them at all. If Konoha could not withstand the turmoil now, Jiraiya really wanted to throw down a sentence, whoever wants to be the Hokage can be the Hokage, and then run away directly.

"But... but can we just let it go!"

Clenching his fists, Mitomon En knew all these things, but he just couldn't swallow this breath, "This village is called Konoha, and it was founded and managed by the first and second generations!"

"In order to unite everyone and protect the village of Konoha, they even let the Senju be lost in the crowd and gave up their surnames."

"But it's only been a few generations, and it's going to be handed over to the family and handed over to the Hyuga!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have found a reason, "The Hyuga is an absolute familialist force, completely based on its own family. This is an old custom left over from the Warring States period. "

"The first generation hopes that the world can usher in peace, first from the family to the village, and then from the village to the country, everyone gathers together to become a family, and then we can usher in long-term peace."

More and more excited, Mitomon Yan was like a fanatic, trying to figure out the ideas of the great historical figures, "Now... Jiraiya, you, the fifth generation Hokage, are you going to betray the previous generations of Hokage and watch Hyuga become bigger and stronger, and let Konoha's history go backwards!"

His turbid eyes stared at Jiraiya, trying to ignite something.

But unfortunately, Jiraiya still looked half-dead, "So... do you have any good ideas?"

His eyes were full of ridicule.

The passion in his heart stopped abruptly, and Mitomon Yan opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"You can only talk about ideas and results, but you can't give us practical solutions. I think you may not need to be an advisor anymore. You should abdicate and let Shikaku take over as soon as possible."

This Mitomon En is fooling people with this kind of pie-in-the-sky trick, which really makes Jiraiya unable to bear it.

"As for what you said... I won't do anything, haha." Jiraiya sneered, "Can you tell me what power Konoha still has that can allow us to face the Hyuga in a relatively strong posture?"

"Is it relying on your Mitomon clan, or the Utane clan? Or... the Shimura and Sarutobi clans?"

Jiraiya slammed the table heavily, and the documents scattered and flew all over the sky.

"Hatake Sasuke, Uchiha Shisui, and even Namikaze Minato... These names were all glorious on the battlefield, and they were once the pillars of Konoha."

"But what? They survived the most difficult battlefields, created their own myths, and let their reputations spread in the ninja world. But many of them ended their lives inexplicably in the peaceful era. Can you tell me why?"

Mito Kado En's expression was stunned, and then he replied unhappily: "...their deaths all have reasons."

"Of course, if they didn't all have their own reasons, but died inexplicably, then I don't think I would stay in such a "terrible" Konoha."

Jiraiya's cold eyes stared straight at Mito Kado En, "Hatake Sasuke... Yun missed the chance to usher in peace because of the delay in the war, causing greater losses to the village, and he committed suicide out of shame. "

"Namikaze Minato died because of using forbidden techniques to seal the tailed beast."

"Uchiha Shisui was implicated in his family's coup and unfortunately died... Each of these has its reasons, but does this mean that their ending is inevitable? Does it mean that you old generation have no responsibility at all?"

"No! As a high-level official of Konoha, you did not correct the problem in time when it occurred, and did not make timely corrections, which eventually led to the death of the hero. You are in your position but do not do your job, which is your dereliction of duty!"

"This is the Konoha and the mess you old guys left for me!"

Jiraiya's blood rushed to his head and his face flushed.

He felt that he should be the most aggrieved Hokage in history.

As soon as he took office, Shimura Danzo disappeared without a trace with his roots.

Then, the invasion of Kirigakure occurred, causing the village to lose most of its manpower.

Internally, Hyuga is growing stronger, and externally, various major forces are eyeing them covetously.

Now the only people that can be used in the village are those two little cats. Jiraiya wishes he could use one person as two people, but in this situation, there are still two people who hold him back.

If Tsunade hadn't helped from time to time, he would have been exhausted, but she also had Konoha Hospital to take care of, and being able to stay in the village was already a great honor.

So sometimes Jiraiya would wonder, if these people hadn't died, what would Konoha be like now? Would it still be crushed by the Hyuga?

Mitomon En clenched his fists and didn't refute this.

They didn't expect that there would be such a group of ungrateful people in the village, and they were hiding so deeply.

If they knew it at the time, they might not condone the genocide of the Uchiha clan, but would save some of the Uchiha clan to check the Hyuga clan.

In response to Mitomon Yan's silence, Jiraiya took a deep breath, "From today on, you are no longer the Hokage's advisor. Leave all matters to Shikaku."

He has been unable to bear it. Even if Mitomon Yan still has some prestige and ability, he doesn't want to use this person anymore.

"You..."

Mitomon Yan's face froze, and he was about to say something, but a figure opened the door eagerly.

"Hokage, there is news from the Sand Village, requesting support from Konoha!"

"Has the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village been taken away?"

As soon as the Hokage's office received the news, the Hyuga side also received the relevant information at the first time.

In the courtyard,

Ryosuke was playing chess with Nozomi Saki.

The Hyuga clan member who came to report glanced at Nozomi Saki and did not answer.

"No, the head of the Saki family is our Hyuga partner."

Ryosuke chuckled and signaled him not to hide.

"Yes."

The Hyuga clan member got Ryosuke's answer, nodded and explained the intercepted intelligence, "Gaara, the one-tailed Jinchuriki of the Sand Village, was captured by the Akatsuki organization three days ago."

"The content of the letter did not reveal the current situation of the Sand Village and the current situation of the Fourth Kazekage. It only revealed that because of the matter in the Rain Country, there is not much power inside the Sand Village to deal with it. I hope that Konoha, as an ally, can send troops to support it."

"This news was transmitted to Konoha ten minutes ago. After we intercepted and confirmed it, it was restored to its original state three minutes ago and delivered to the Hokage Building intact."

After a pause, he added: "The head of the family has convened a meeting of the clan members to discuss this matter, so he specifically asked me to come and ask if you want to participate."

"No need."

Ryosuke shook his head, "They can arrange this matter."

"Yes, I will convey it to the head of the family truthfully."

The Hyuga clan member did not say much, nodded respectfully, and quickly left the Hyuga main house.

Meanwhile, Nozomi Saki, who pretended to be deaf-mute and carefully observed the situation on the chessboard, felt a little turbulent in her heart.

Can Hinata intercept even the intelligence of Konoha now, read it once, and then hand it over to the Hokage? It seems... there is nothing left for me to do.

If Hinata wants Konoha, does he really need the assistance of his own Saki family?

"Master Saki, you have been thinking about this move for a long time."

While thinking, Nozomi Saki was interrupted by a reminder. When he raised his head, he happened to meet Ryosuke's clear and bright eyes, and his heart tightened, "Young Master Ryosuke is very good at chess. Let me think about it, think about it..."

He quickly lowered his head and focused his eyes on the chessboard.

Sitting opposite him, Ryosuke's face was calm.

He was not surprised that the Akatsuki organization's plan to capture the tailed beasts was advanced. After all, he was the one who reminded Black Zetsu to do this.

"I don't know when he will wake up Uchiha Madara. I just hope he can arrange it earlier. If it's too late, this old man won't have a chance to participate in the drama of the ninja world."

Ryosuke is more concerned about when Uchiha Madara will come out than the capture of the One-Tail.

If it's too late, when the power of the other world is discovered and mastered by himself, then maybe he won't be able to bring any fun to himself.
