"Jōnin is really a high-end combat power in this world. It seems that the information of the Sagi family is correct."
Sitting alone on a bench in Konoha Park, Shanks gently looked at the children playing ninja games in front of him, "Although Hyuga Ryosuke is young, perhaps it is because of his unique talent that he has such shocking strength. "
"He should be regarded as the top level in this ninja world."
After staying in Konoha Village for a while, getting a lot of information about ninjas, and actually seeing the ninja classification and the corresponding combat power level, Shanks' heart is not as heavy as when he first entered the village.
The profession of ninja is not as scary as he imagined.
Characters like Hyuga Ryosuke are only a handful in this world, and there may not even be a ninja stronger than him in the current Konoha Village.
And now, in Shanks' Observation Haki,
Right behind where I was sitting, there was a ninja looming in the trees some distance away.
The watcher was so easily discovered by him, the watched person, and he didn't seem to realize it. He thought that hiding in the tree was very concealed, which seemed a little immature.
Vigilance is definitely much worse than many people he saw in the Hyuga tribe.
"Should be...a ninja at the Chūnin level, and doesn't have any blood inheritance boundaries."
While looking at the children playing in front of him, Shanks evaluated in his heart, "But these families who inherit the blood line are really cheating, just like eating Devil Fruit, they are much better than ordinary ninjas, especially Hyuga .”
"The ability of those eyes, coupled with that number, is definitely a group of guys worthy of attention..."
Finally, it is not the "Yamanaka savage" with black eyes. Shanks has also gained some understanding of the force system in this world, and he can more or less judge the level of some people's combat power. After all, he also has a strong combat power. Backed by strength and experience.
As for the fact that he was being watched, he was not surprised, and he could even guess why he was being watched, it was nothing more than because he came into contact with Hyuga.
Not only himself, but even Nozomi Sagi, who is really an ordinary person, is being watched.
And hide in the dark,
Anbu, who was instructed by Konoha's high-level officials to monitor those who had close contact with Hyuga, did not know that he had been discovered. From his understanding, this man who looked imposing and not easy to mess with was just an ordinary person. It should be some noble official from the Kingdom of Fire.
It is also because this goal is for ordinary people that it is his turn to complete this task.
"Hyuga...has been acting a little too much lately."
the fourth time,
When Mitokado Homura knocked on Hokage's office door for the fourth time to report the matter to Jiraiya, he got the same answer again.
"Then what can you do?"
Jiraiya poked his head out of the pile of documents with difficulty, and replied in a half-dead tone.
"..."
Suddenly, Mitokado Homura once again lost the ability to speak,
He breathed heavily in his chest, not knowing how to vent it.
"For the first time, you said that Hyuga has a different heart, and they are secretly cultivating their own ninja army."
It's a pity that he didn't speak, but Jiraiya was really annoyed and scolded in a cold voice: "At that time, I explained to you that I knew about this matter a long time ago, and Hyuga didn't intend to hide it from Konoha or from other families. .”
"What is darkness? They are cultivating their own ninja army in an upright manner! They buy ninja tools and medicine... They are supplementing Hyuga's background!"
"You don't need to report these to me. I know everything, even better than you."
"But after I told you, I asked you what should we do? If you don't speak up, you can't do anything, then I can't do anything, I can't do anything with them Hyuga!"
The tone of the speech became louder unconsciously.
"The second time, you said that the Koharu consultant sent you a letter, saying that the team of Hyuga's family did not obey the command along the way, delayed the progress of the mission, and treated a large group of them as free nurses, bodyguards, and labor."
"But what? In the meeting before departure, under your persuasion, I have handed over the command of their family in this mission to themselves, and I can't command them."
"So I can only give you an answer. Send a message to Utatane Koharu. If the progress of the mission is really delayed, the team can go to the Land of Rain first, but do they dare? They don't dare, they need Hyuga's detection and perception ability!"
While talking, Jiraiya got really angry and stood up abruptly.
"The third time, Hyuga's people left the village privately. You didn't report to me, but you secretly sent people to follow them, but they lost them, and then came back to report to me."
"Honestly speaking, I think it is a blessing in misfortune that your people can come back safely. Do you think if your people can't come back, then what kind of attitude should we, Konoha, treat Hyuga? Tear your face? Drive them out village?"
He clapped his hands on the table, his expression was very ugly, "Wake up, Advisor Mito, Konoha is not the same Konoha as before, and Hyuga is not the same Hyuga as before."
"The fact that they're showing their strength so blatantly speaks volumes. They're not Uchiha's pack of wolves who won't hide!"
"And... I am the Hokage. You rely on your qualifications again and again and don't tell me this Hokage. Isn't it a bit too arrogant!"
Jiraiya is angry, not entirely because of Hyuga's problem, but more because of the two Hokage consultants Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu who have been making small moves behind their backs.
Obviously they forced him to take the position, but what happened? After sitting up by themselves, the two old guys began to point fingers.
One warning and two warnings just let them hide their actions deeper, so that they can't trace them at all. If Konoha can't stand the turmoil now, Jiraiya really wants to say a word, who loves this broken Hokage? Whoever does it, then run away directly.
"But...but that's all for now!"
Clenching his fists, Mitokado Homura certainly knows these things, but he just couldn't swallow his breath, "This village is called Konoha, and it was founded and managed by Shodai and Nidaime!"
"In order for everyone to unite and protect the village of Konoha, they even made Senju disappear from everyone and gave up their surname."
"But it's only been a few generations, and it will be transferred to the family again, and handed over to Hyuga!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have found a reason, "Hyuga is an absolute family-oriented force, completely dominated by its own family, which is an old habit left over from the Sengoku period."
"Shodai hopes that the world will usher in peace. First, the family will unite into a village, and then the village will unite into a country. When everyone gathers to become a family, long-term peace will be ushered in."
The more he talked, the more excited Mitokado Homura was like a fanatic, trying to figure out the thoughts of the great man in history, "Now... Jiraiya, you, the Fifth Hokage, are you going to abandon the previous Hokages and watch Hyuga become bigger and stronger, so that Konoha's Is history turning backwards!"
His cloudy 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 sarcasm.
The enthusiasm stopped abruptly again, Mitokado Homura opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
"You can only talk about ideas and results, but you can't give practical solutions. I think you may not be a consultant anymore. You should abdicate as soon as possible and give it to Lu Jiu."
This Mitokado Homura is fooling people with this method of painting big cakes, which really makes Jiraiya unable to bear it anymore.
"As for what you said... I won't do anything, heh." Jiraiya sneered, "Can you tell me what kind of power Konoha has now, so that we can have a relatively strong posture to face Hyuga? ?”
"Is it the Mito family that relies on you, or the family that has passed away? Or... the Shimura and Sarutobi clans?"
Jiraiya slammed down on the table, documents scattered and flying all over the sky.
"Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Shisui, and even Namikaze Minato...all of these names have been brilliant on the battlefield. They used to be the pillars of Konoha."
"But what? They have survived the most difficult battlefields, created their own myths, and let their reputation spread in the ninja world. However, many of them ended their lives inexplicably in the peaceful era. You can Tell me, why is that?"
Mitokado Homura's expression froze, and then turned ugly Kaidō: "...they all died for a reason."
"Of course, if I didn't have their own reasons, but died inexplicably, then I don't think I would stay in such a "terrible" Konoha."
Jiraiya's icy eyes stared straight at Mitokado Homura, "Hatake Sakumo missed the opportunity to usher in peace because of the delay of the war plane, and caused even more damage to the village, so he committed suicide in shame."
"Namikaze Minato died for sealing the Tailed Beast and using the Forbidden Technique."
"Uchiha Shisui was implicated in his family's coup and unfortunately died... There are reasons for each of these, but does this mean that their end is inevitable? Does it mean that you, the older generation, have no responsibility?"
"No! As Konoha's high-level executives, when there was a problem, you didn't correct it in time, and you didn't make it back in time, which eventually led to the death of the hero. If you are in your position and don't plan for it, this is your dereliction of duty!"
"This is the Konoha you old things left me, the mess you left me!"
With those words, Jiraiya's blood was welling up and his face was flushed.
He felt that he should be the most aggrieved Hokage in history.
As soon as he took power, Shimura Danzō disappeared without a trace with his roots,
Then, the Kirigakure invasion occurred, causing the village to lose most of its manpower.
Inside, Hyuga is growing bigger and stronger, and outside, there are major forces watching,
And now the only people available in the village are the two or three kittens. Jiraiya wished that one person could be used as two people, and it turned out that there were still such two people holding him back.
If it wasn't for Tsunade who would help from time to time, he would have been exhausted, but they also have Konoha Hospital to take care of, so it's a great face to be able to go back to the village and stay there.
So sometimes Jiraiya wonders, what would Konoha be like if none of these people died? Will it still be crushed by Hyuga?
For these words, Mitokado Homura clenched his fists and did not refute.
At that time, they didn't expect that there would be such a group of white-eyed wolves in the village, and they were hiding so deeply.
If they knew it at the beginning, they might not condone Uchiha's genocide, but would save some Uchiha to check and balance Hyuga.
In response to Mitokado Homura's silence, Jiraiya took a deep breath, "From today onwards, you are no longer a Hokage consultant, leave all affairs to Shikajiu."
He couldn't bear it anymore, even if Mitokado Homura still had some prestige and ability, he didn't want to use this person anymore.
"you……"
Mitokado Homura's face froze, and he was about to say something, but a figure opened the door eagerly.
"Master Hokage, there is a message from Sunagakure, requesting Konoha's support!"
"Has Sunagakure's Jinchūriki been taken?"
As soon as Hokage's office got the news, Hyuga also received relevant information immediately.
in the courtyard,
Ryosuke is playing chess with Nozomi Sagi.
The Hyuga tribe who came to report glanced at Nozomi Sagi, but did not answer.
"No, Patriarch Sagi is our Hyuga partner."
Ryosuke chuckled, signaling him not to hide.
"Yes."
The Hyuga tribe received Ryosuke's answer, nodded and explained the intercepted information, "The One Tail Jinchūriki Gaara of Sunagakure was taken away by the Akatsuki organization three days ago."
"The content of the letter did not disclose the current situation of Sunagakure and Fourth Kazekage. It only revealed that because of the rain country, there are not many forces in Sunagakure to deal with it. I hope that Konoha, as an ally, can send troops to support."
"This news was sent to Konoha ten minutes ago. After we intercepted and confirmed it, it was restored to its original state three minutes ago, and it was delivered to the Hokage building intact."
After a pause, he added: "At present, the Patriarch has called a meeting with the clansmen to discuss this matter, so he asked me to come here and ask if you would like to participate."
"no need."
Ryosuke shook his head, "They can arrange this matter."
"Yes, I will truthfully convey it to the Patriarch."
This Hyuga clansman didn't say much, nodded respectfully, and quickly left Hyuga's main house.
On the other side, Nozomi Samu, who was pretending to be a deaf-mute, carefully observed the situation on the chessboard, felt a little turmoil in his heart.
Konoha can even intercept intelligence information by Hyuga first, read it once, and then hand it over to Hokage? It seems... there is nothing to do with me anymore.
If Hyuga wants Konoha, does he really need the assistance of his own Sagi family?
"Patriarch Sagi, you have been thinking about this move for a long time."
In his thoughts, Nozomi Sagi was interrupted by a reminder. When he raised his head, he happened to meet Ryosuke's clear and bright eyes, and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, "Master Ryosuke is very skilled in chess, let me think about it, think about it... ..."
He quickly lowered his head and set his eyes on the chessboard.
And sitting opposite him, Ryosuke's face was calm.
He was not surprised that Akatsuki's Tailed Beast capture plan was advanced, after all, he reminded Black Zetsu to do this.
"I don't know when he will wake up Uchiha Madara. I just hope he can arrange it sooner. If it is later, this old man will have no chance to participate in this big show in the ninja world."
Compared with One Tail being caught, Ryosuke cares more about when Uchiha Madara will come out,
If it was too late, until the power of the other world was discovered and mastered by him, then maybe he would not be able to bring himself any fun.
