Chapter 2447 Problem

"Chiba?"

Looking at the serious Ebisu with a frown in front of him, Jiraiya was slightly startled, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Is he...really alive?"

Seeing Jiraiya's look of astonishment, Ebisu, who had already left the wall railing and walked in front of Jiraiya, couldn't help but ask again.

Obviously, this issue is very important to him.

In other words, he is really eager to know the answer to this question now.

Yeah……

It has been circulated, and it seems that Sarutobi-sensei has made it public.

Now, for Ebisu, I have accepted Chiba's death for so many years, and now I suddenly say that in fact, it was a lie for more than ten years. Chiba is still alive, and has returned to the village, and has obtained the permission of the Hokage. Basically Being able to exercise the power of a temporary Hokage is a bit unacceptable no matter what.

In other words, it’s unbelievable!

After all, this was kept secret for more than ten years, and he still deceived the entire ninja world.

At this time, after hearing Ebisu's somewhat urgent inquiry, Jiraiya also understood.

To be honest, he was quite surprised when he received the news.

Strictly speaking, his teacher hid this matter from even himself. When he received this information, his reaction was actually similar to Ebisu's.

However, after all, he has been collecting intelligence outside, and what he has seen is much broader than Ebisu.

The combination of various ninja villages, various dark forces, and various sensitive intelligence, especially the reactions of various ninja villages and various dark forces to certain specific things, made him quite suspicious whether Chiba was dead.

During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, after all, he was in the enemy camp to gather useful information for the village, especially the situation in Kumogakure Village at that time. When he came back, all he saw was the words "Taki Chiba" on the hero monument.

Without seeing the corpse, no, it might be because Qianye had created too many miracles. Even if he saw the corpse, he didn't think Qianye would die so easily.

It is precisely because of this that every time he goes on an intelligence mission, or freely collects information for the village, or draws materials for his novels, he can't help but look for any clues related to Chiba.

However, although there were some speculative things, he did not find any direct or indirect evidence that Qianye was still alive.

The only thing that is known is that the entire ninja world is looking for information that Uchiha Nobuhiko and the elusive Taki Chiba are still alive.

The entire ninja world, secretly, did not dare to act rashly because of these two people, and was afraid and jealous.

However, after all, because he did not collect any effective intelligence, at that time, he finally gave up the idea that Qianye was still alive.

It wasn't until Kumogakure suddenly and secretly sent back Hinata Hizashi's body and signed a contract with the village in a low profile that he once again had the idea that Chiba was still alive.

From that time on, he began to collect information about Chiba intermittently. Although he did not find any substantive information in the end, the fact that Chiba was dead,

He still had doubts.

And always doubted it.

After all, Kumogakure's matter was too strange. At that time, he had already received the news that Konoha had handed over the body of Hinata Hizashi, so he bowed his head and begged Kumogakure for peace. While sighing in his heart, he felt that My teacher has no objection to this choice, but is just a little sad.

Behind every war and every political game, there is always the blood of innocent people.

It is also full of injustices that affect everyone.

However, the one who made this decision was the old man who always wished everyone well and wanted to protect everyone. In the end, he always issued the most cruel and cruel order to sacrifice innocent people. He was the old man who should enjoy the happiness of family relationship. .

He was grieving for his teacher.

The death of Hyuga Hizashi may bring peace, or Konoha's rebirth, but for Hyuga Hizashi's family, this is undoubtedly the greatest injustice and the most resentful thing in the world.

This matter was obviously Kumogakure's people killed by others, and it obviously had nothing to do with them. That night, perhaps Hinata Hizashi just stayed at home, just sleeping, and maybe he had a pleasant meal with his family. However, the next day, he had to make a sacrifice, paying the price with his life, in exchange for peace and a chance to breathe.

Perhaps, to himself, he felt that his death was a well-deserved one.

But how painful and resentful is it for his family?

For the village, Hinata Hizashi's death was necessary.

But what about Hinata Hizashi's relatives?

What about those who care and love Hinata Hizashi?

For another example, Chiba's father, Maya, clearly sacrificed his life for Konoha and his friends. He is the hero of Konoha and the Hyuga clan, and should be respected and loved by everyone.

However, despite being such a passionate and responsible man, in the end he could only protect his best friend by harming his wife and children in the name of a traitor.

What a helpless and sad thing this is.

And the one who made these decisions, the one who sacrificed Hinata and Hizashi, and the one who made Taki Maha suffer the infamy, was all his teacher. It was precisely the one who least wanted to see such a situation and had struggled all his life to avoid such injustice and helplessness. people.

How ironic is this?

How sad is it?

However, even as Hokage, leading the strongest village in the ninja world, as the leader of the strongest force, all his teacher can do is to constantly compromise, constantly compromise, constantly compromise, and sacrifice a small part. , in exchange for most of it.

Because this is the darkness and cruelty of the ninja world!

What's even more ironic is that even the Kumogakure Village, which imposes this darkness and cruelty on Konoha, only survives under this darkness and cruelty.

Even if it is the perpetrator, in the final analysis, he is still the victim.

Under the unchangeable darkness and cruel environment of this ninja world, every person and every force is just hanging on.

And just when he was sad and began to decide to temporarily put down some tasks and take a break because of sentimentality, just one day later, another piece of information was delivered to him.

Yunyin made peace.

Moreover, the body of Hyuga Hizashi was secretly returned.

The condition is just to keep everything absolutely confidential.

Jiraiya still remembers his stunned and disbelieving look at that time. This was almost, no, completely impossible.

Yunyin has already taken the absolute initiative, so why would he negotiate a peace as a passive party?

Although the Third Ninja War ended with this, it was the best thing.

However, after all, neither Konoha nor Kumogakure revealed any information. Even with his intelligence level in Konoha, all he could know was that there was such a thing, and the result of such a thing was this, But I don't know any more detailed information.

In this case, he naturally thought of Chiba.

I'm afraid only Chiba can do this kind of thing.

Only Chiba can make Kumogakure, who is impossible to negotiate a peace with a low profile, and Kumogakure, who is impossible to return the body, negotiate with a low profile and return the body.

At that time, the idea that he was already convinced that Qianye was dead collapsed instantly. He began to think that Qianye was still alive again, and he spent a considerable amount of time to verify this matter.

Although nothing was found in the investigation in the end, the suspicion still remained in my heart.

And because of this suspicion, after he got the news that Chiba was still alive, after all, he had more emotions of "sure enough" rather than disbelief. Even because it was too unbelievable, people like Ebisu couldn't believe it now. own emotions.

"Well, the fact that Chiba is still alive is absolutely reliable information, and the fact that Chiba can exercise the power of acting as Hokage is also absolutely correct information. Don't worry, Chiba..."

Thinking of this, Jiraiya didn't show off, and with a slight smile on his lips, he said with absolute certainty:

"……came back!"

"Really...really?"

After hearing Jiraiya's affirmative words, Ebisu looked like he thought he had heard wrong, and spoke subconsciously.

“The real deal.”

In response, Jiraiya nodded affirmatively.

"Really...I'm back, I'm not dead!"

But after hearing this sentence, Ebisu seemed to have let go of a big stone in his heart. He took a long breath, and even his body shook a little, as if he was a little unsteady due to the sudden relief.

His mouth was filled with joy.

That's great!

Chiba is not dead, great!

It’s great that Chiba is back to take charge!

It's really great!

With Chiba here, Konoha will be fine!

No one dares to act arrogantly in Konoha Village where Chiba is in charge!

The recent tense atmosphere in the village should be relieved! This time the Chunin Examination should not be as peaceful as it seems.

There must be something wrong...

Otherwise, Chiba would not be allowed to exercise the power of acting as Hokage...

During this time, Chiba must have become stronger!

I probably can't compare with him at all.

Ah!

Ebisu, what are you thinking? Chiba became a true S-class ninja in his teens. How can you compare with him?

Moreover, the talent of Hokage is not on the same level, okay...

However, it doesn't matter anymore, the most important thing now is the village's affairs...

No!

It doesn’t matter what happened in the village, as long as Chiba is still alive!

It’s good to be alive!

Everything is fine!

As long as Chiba is still alive!

But at this time, his heart was in chaos, and he was almost confused because of the ecstasy and excitement.

Even as he went through this series of thoughts, his eyes turned red.

"Thank you, Lord Jiraiya. With you and Chiba here, there will be no problems. No one can shake Konoha."

At the same time, he followed with a ninety-degree bow, and blurted out this sound.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Then, without waiting for Jiraiya to say anything, he hurriedly turned around and left, and soon he was off the rooftop.

Yeah……

For Ebisu, Chiba is not only a reassurance, but also a good friend for many years!

Seeing Ebisu leaving in a hurry, a slight smile appeared on Jiraiya's lips, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

Obviously, Ebisu was excited and ecstatic because he was so surprised that he couldn't help himself because of the news that Chiba was still alive.

I am sincerely overjoyed because of Chiba's survival.

And this should be the emotion that the group of people who grew up with Chiba should have.

After all, in addition to being the patron saint of Konoha, Chiba is, after all, a living partner and friend who grew up together in their eyes.

They are also comrades who have fought side by side and can go back to back.

Emotionally, it's even stronger.

but……

Here, as long as Chiba is here, it will be fine.

As for Ebisu's last words, Jiraiya still held a relatively conservative attitude. At least, he didn't really want to stay here.

I don’t really want to face that person either.

The one who already has definite information is in Konoha now.

That man named Orochimaru!

Let Chiba do this.

And with this thought, he made such a decision in his heart.

After all, no matter how much he went through, Orochimaru was always his heartache, and it was one of the reasons why he didn't want to appear in the public eye anymore.

It was the darkness and cruelty that this ninja world inflicted on him.

At first, he did not recover Orochimaru.

Now, he didn't know if he could attack Orochimaru.

Although I know that Orochimaru is unforgivable, an enemy, and my own enemy, after all, this enemy has been together day and night for decades, fought side by side countless times, relied on each other, and licked each other's wounds. He can no longer be regarded as a simple partner and best friend. exist.

The relationship between them is already akin to family affection.

He had already regarded Orochimaru as a brother and a sibling.

Even if he has defected, even if he has become an enemy, after so many years of love, can he really eliminate Orochimaru as an enemy?

In fact, he is no longer a qualified candidate to deal with Orochimaru.

Regarding Orochimaru, he must have many personal feelings that cannot be ignored.

He cannot participate in this matter.

also……

There seemed to be no fighting spirit involved.

Now that Chiba has returned, it would be best to leave this matter to Chiba.

He could only choose to let Qianye handle this matter.

Therefore, Ebisu's words, which said that he and Chiba would feel at ease when they were here, still felt that they were well-deserved.

"Naruto……"

Then, after thinking of this, Jiraiya turned back and looked at the blond boy who was already fast asleep. A complex look slowly appeared on his face.

"The man who shouldn't exist and the son of prophecy who know everything...the two prophecies that coexist, what exactly...is going on? What does the destruction of the former and the salvation of the latter mean?

Could it be that the predictions made by the Great Toad Immortal were also wrong?

Otherwise, how could there be such contradictory predictions? "

Then, he looked at the carefree young man sleeping soundly and slowly murmured in his mouth.
