"Uchiha...Obito?"

A few minutes later, after listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's series of explanations, Jiraiya's eyes widened, he frowned, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"impossible?"

He said with a tone of extreme disbelief.

Uchiha Obito, that kid, has that kind of ability?

Jiraiya expressed doubts.

Not to mention that Obito was dead, but in terms of strength, it was not like he had never seen Uchiha Obito before. Although he was not familiar with him, he was Minato's disciple after all, so he had met him several times.

The three disciples of Namikaze Minato all had very obvious characteristics, so Jiraiya was very impressed by them.

In his memory, Obito Uchiha was a very mediocre Uchiha boy. Although he was born in Uchiha, he was not as arrogant as other Uchiha. His behavior was careless and confused, and he had no obvious talent.

His strength is at the middle to lower level in the class, and he is even called the weakest person in the class. Apart from his good character, he doesn't look like he has any potential.

Could such a person be the murderer seven years ago?

You know, Obito was only 14 years old at that time.

Even if Obito didn't die when Kannabi Bridge was over, you told me that a 14-year-old boy has grown by leaps and bounds in less than two years. Not only did he have the power to control the Nine-Tails, but he also planned and completed

The sudden incident that attacked Konoha and killed his master, the Fourth Hokage, single-handedly created the biggest disaster in Konoha in decades. It is really unimaginable that this would be something that a 14-year-old boy could do.

Even in the ninja world where geniuses abound, this is shocking.

"If the facts weren't in front of me, I wouldn't want to believe it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed after hearing this and said in deep thought.

He understood Jiraiya's feelings. It was only after he saw the masked man with his own eyes and verified his abilities that he truly accepted the fact.

And to be precise, Obito is not alone, because behind him are Uchiha Madara, the strongest in the history of the Uchiha clan, and Black Zetsu, the brother of the legendary Sage of Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo. With these two

With personal participation, it’s no wonder what happens.

From this perspective, Obito's identity is not so difficult to accept.

"Okay." Jiraiya rubbed his temples and forced himself to accept this reality, feeling that his world view had been greatly impacted.

"So, you got all this information from the Uchiha boy named 'Shirasawa'?"

"That's right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and then reminded him.

"By the way, it's best not to reveal this secret to others easily. There are ninjas in Akatsuki who are specialized in intelligence collection. If we don't go through special treatment, our conversation is likely to be eavesdropped by them."

Ever since they learned about the existence of White Zetsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen has attached great importance to the protection of intelligence, and they have strictly guarded against any loopholes that may leak secrets wherever they go, because this is their only advantage at present.

"I know."

Jiraiya nodded seriously, with a serious look on his face. As an intelligence worker, he naturally understood the importance of intelligence. It was an important part of a country's military power. Sometimes, intelligence was even more valuable than the life of a ninja.

Be important.

Therefore, he understood very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen kept this aspect secret. If it weren't for the fact that he was his apprentice but still an important "Sannin", he would probably have kept it secret even from himself.

At the same time, he also understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the Sky Cap Array when talking to him.

If what Sarutobi Hiruzen said is true, then the importance of the ninja named "Shirasawa" can be said to be unprecedentedly important. In order to protect this precious source of information, no matter what price we pay,

Pass.

"Old man, no wonder you are so eager to ask me to come back."

Jiraiya let out a long breath, half-lying on the fence, scanning the surrounding buildings with a very complicated look, and was silent for a while, then slowly turned his head.

"But speaking of this, I am becoming more and more interested in that 'Bai Ze'. When will you let me see him?"

Just listening to what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Jiraiya was always a little skeptical. After all, seeing is believing, and he still wanted to see with his own eyes whether Shirasawa was real or fake.

To be honest, without seeing it for himself, he really wouldn't be able to easily believe that there are humans in this world who can predict things better than the Great Toad Immortal who has lived for thousands of years.

"Um."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said of course that since he told Jiraiya about Yukimura's existence, in order to make him completely believe it, it was a natural choice to arrange for them to meet.

"However, you may have to wait a few days until Tsunade comes back..."

After thinking for a while, he continued.

"Tsunade?" Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this, looked at him sideways, and said, "Will that guy come back too?"

"Well, I specially hired someone to find her."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him. After these major changes, Konoha Village's high-end combat power was severely lacking. It was the time when personnel were most scarce. Of course, it was necessary to gather any forces that could be united, and even more

Not to mention the Sannin who occupy an important position in the 'future'.

For future stability, Jiraiya and Tsunade are indispensable.

"However, I received the news last night that Tsunade is on her way back to the village and will arrive in Konoha in about three or four days."

"oh?"

Jiraiya became even more curious.

"You actually have the ability to convince her to come back?"

He said slightly surprised.

Jiraiya knew the reason for Tsunade's departure. The various factors involved were extremely complicated. Even his former companion was not necessarily sure of convincing Tsunade. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not go out personally, but actually sent his subordinates.

It was done, which made him feel extremely strange.

"Probably because we found the most suitable candidate..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out smoke rings and said slowly.

"The most suitable candidate..."

Jiraiya looked slightly confused. He was silent for a moment and quickly searched all the suitable candidates in his mind. Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, as if he thought of something in an instant.

"Hey, old man..."

He frowned and guessed with some suspicion: "You must have found someone over there, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, but turned to look at him. From his eyes, Jiraiya got the answer.

"I see."

Jiraiya sighed and understood.

The "people over there" he refers to is none other than the Thousand Hands Clan who once shocked Feng Yun.

The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are known as the two most powerful clans in the ninja world. During the Warring States Period sixty years ago, no other clan could compete with them alone. It could be said that they dominated for a while.

However, after the establishment of Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan was still developing vigorously, while the Senju clan slowly withdrew from the stage of history. The specific reasons for this were only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya.

Only the elderly can know this.

The reason why the Senju Clan disappeared was not because they suffered all casualties in successive battles, nor was it because others were afraid of their strength and persecuted them. Ultimately, the historical reasons for this have to be traced back to the first Hokage.

Senju Hashirama and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama mentioned it.

Sixty years ago, when Konoha Village had not yet been established, the Senju clan headed by Senju Hashirama lived and developed together as a family unit. At that time, the family and the clan were what Senju Hashirama wanted.

something to protect.

However, in Year 0 of Konoha, after the Ninja Village was established, the narrow family concept was no longer applicable to the situation at that time. From that time on, the ninja activity group had developed from a family unit to a Ninja Village as a unit.

What Senju Hashirama wants to protect and fight for as Hokage is no longer just the Senju clan, but has expanded to the entire Konoha Village.

Therefore, at this stage, retaining the original Senju Clan is no longer in line with the situation at that time. On the one hand, the Senju Clan is too powerful. They control most of the say in Konoha Village, and their excessive power is concentrated in

Together, it will lead to selfish desires and ambitions, and it will also be detrimental to the future development of Konoha Village.

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama can guarantee that they are dedicated to the village, but they cannot guarantee that their descendants, or the descendants of the Senju clan, will definitely inherit their ideas. If any of them have selfish motives,

With the strength of the Thousand Hands Clan, it may cause violent turmoil.

On the other hand, if Senju Hashirama, who has become Hokage, still retains the Senju clan, given the situation at that time, it will also cause some criticism from outsiders. When the village was first established and people's hearts were unstable, a person of origin

The Hokage of the Senju clan will inevitably make people doubt whether his motives are for the Senju clan. In order to prevent the development of the above situation, Senju Hashirama, as the Hokage, came up with the idea of ​​disbanding the entire Senju clan.

Although they are both the strongest ninja clan, unlike the Uchiha clan who have Sharingan eyes, the Senju clan does not have any dominant genetic characteristics and will not be easily identified among the crowd. At the same time, as long as the Senju clan does not

If it re-exists, no one will doubt Senju Hashirama's sincerity for the village. Just imagine, if someone has given up his own family for the sake of the village, what other selfish motives might he have?

However, if you think about it, it is not that easy to complete this plan. Disbanding the family means giving up the reputation and power that the Senju clan has built over hundreds of years. Although it has the support of Senju Tobirama,

There are many selfish people in the Senju clan who are unwilling to give up these precious things. Even Senju Hashirama cannot force them with force.

Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, Senju Tobijian thought of a compromise.

When Konoha Village was established, in order to stabilize the relationship between Konoha Village and the Fire Country daimyo, under various arrangements, Senju Hashirama married his daughter to the son of the then Fire Country daimyo to form a marriage alliance.

This method ensures better cooperation between the two parties. Their children are Tsunade, one of the future Sannin, and her younger brother Naoki. This is why neither Tsunade nor Naoki is named Senju, and there are so many names before and after.

Naruto, but only Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, is called Princess Tsunade, because she is really a princess.

Senju Tobirama's idea is based on this situation. Since some people have no reason to give up the benefits brought by their family, then they will be sent to serve under the daimyo of the Land of Fire. They will use their daimyo to privately

The way soldiers live in the capital of the Country of Fire, far away from the environment of Konoha Village, on the one hand ensures their demands for power and status, on the other hand it also prevents them from having an adverse impact on the political status of Konoha Village. These

The ninja who left with Senju Hashirama's daughter was the origin of the Fire Temple and the guardian of the Twelve Ninjas in the future.

After sending away the stubborn conservatives, the remaining people can be easily arranged. They have no ambitions and no desires. As long as they can live peacefully, it doesn't matter whether the Senju clan exists or not. These people changed their names and integrated into Konoha.

, and became ordinary villagers.

Then, decades later, the part of the Thousand Hands clan that moved to the capital of the Fire Country changed their names and developed vigorously through their previous in-law relationships, becoming aristocrats with high positions and power. They were aloof and controlled the world.

Some of the powers of the Fire Nation have military armed groups headed by the Fire Temple, which have become the main source of power for the daimyo.

The people who stayed in Konoha Village have completely integrated into Konoha and cannot tell the difference from other people at all. Unless they go through detailed research, many people don't know that their ancestors are still here.

It has such a glorious history.

In this way, the Senju clan was divided into two and disappeared in the long river of history. Although their bloodline is still spread in the world, the surname Senju has gradually disappeared.

The old man that Sarutobi Hiruzen had contacted before was the member of the Senju clan who left Konoha Village that year. The former Senju Masashige and the current Morita Masashige were also the Lord Dainanagon of the Fire Country.
