dog in ninja world

To be honest, Jiraiya was still quite surprised that Sarutobi Hiruzen would take the initiative to contact the Senju clan members who left.

Back then, in order to prevent the departed Senju clan from intervening in the village's internal affairs in the name of the Country of Fire, ever since they left, Senju Hashirama issued an order that unless it was a very urgent official business, almost no one in Konoha Village would do anything.

Take the initiative to contact the Thousand Hands clan members who left. The two sides usually only meet a few times at regular meetings of the Fire Nation to get a little understanding of each other's current situation. Other than that, there is basically no overlap.

This was only the initial situation. Later, because of an incident, the relationship between the two parties declined rapidly, almost to the level of strangers.

About thirty years ago, a big event happened in the Land of Fire.

Naoki, who was supposed to be the next daimyo, admired the achievements of his grandfather Senju Hashirama so much that he went to Konoha Village alone to practice ninja training. However, he accidentally died on the battlefield. This incident caused a stir in the Fire Country at that time.

There was an uproar, and Tsunade fell into collapse for a time, because she told the story of Senju Hashirama to the rope tree, and it was Tsunade herself who triggered the rope tree's dream of being a hokage. In addition, this also led to the current daimyo of the land of fire.

His position fell aside and could only be taken over by Tsunade's uncle.

Because of this factor, the Senju clan complained a lot about Konoha. Although they said they were not hostile, their relationship dropped to a freezing point. They had not had much contact with Konoha for decades, and it seemed as if they had been completely separated from Konoha.

Therefore, today, only very few people know that the widely rumored Fire Temple in the Fire Country once had such a connection with Konoha Village.

"Is the situation serious enough?

Jiraiya frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

You know, even in the face of the chaos after the death of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha Village did not try to contact the Senju clan members outside, but at this time, in order to recall Tsunade, it changed the past decades of Hokage.

Strategy, this shows that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, the situation facing Konoha Village has exceeded Konoha Village's ability to bear, and it must use all means to gather all the strength to resist.

"It's probably more serious than you think."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly. He knew that Jiraiya had doubts in his heart, but he also believed that the real truth was definitely many times more terrifying than Jiraiya expected.

Ever since meeting Yukimura, Sarutobi Hiruzen has hardly had a good night's sleep. The terrifying future is as heavy as a mountain on his shoulders, almost crushing the sixty-year-old man. The prospect.

It was a gray area, but no matter what, as Hokage, he had to lead everyone in the village to find a way in this almost invisible darkness, so he needed to unite all the forces.

At this time, all rules and influences can be put aside and everything can make way for survival.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen resolutely violated the regulations of the First Hokage and asked for help from the Senju foreigners.

"All right."

Jiraiya sighed after hearing this. He had just come back. He only knew the general situation from Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous description, but he didn't know the specific content yet, so he couldn't make an appropriate judgment, and he couldn't

Knowing whether Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision was right or wrong, he could only put these doubts aside for the time being and wait until later.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

After thinking for a while, he asked again. Judging from the current situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen had his own plan. Since he had chosen to call himself and Tsunade back, he naturally had specific arrangements.

Jiraiya wanted to know what Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to do with him?

"First of all, I hope you can accept Yan's previous job."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly, a very important issue they are currently facing is the government affairs of Konoha Village.

Because of Minato Yan's sacrifice and Danzo's escape, in Konoha Village, there are now only two of the original four high-level officials. Koharu and he can be said to have completed the work that originally belonged to two people alone. In a short period of time,

They can still cope with it, but after all, they are all over sixty years old, and their bodies will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time, so they must find someone to share part of the work.

"ah?"

Jiraiya pursed his lips after hearing this, looked up at the sky, and showed a look of trouble, boredom, and no interest. He thought that in the beginning, he chose to leave Mu because he was unwilling to accept such a tedious job.

Ye Cun, it is impossible to be very positive about this now.

"You can't escape this time..."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw his appearance, he knew what he was thinking. Of course, it was impossible to let him cheat again, so he immediately said.

"Besides this matter, there is also a very important task that needs you to take over, and only you can take over."

"Ah? What happened?"

Jiraiya came back to his senses and wondered, what kind of task could only he take over?

"Come with me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, his eyes flashing with a light that made Jiraiya feel a little weak. He said hello, then turned and walked downstairs.

"Old man..."

Jiraiya stood there and stared at his back for a long time. He had no choice but to get up and follow him.

The two of them walked down the stairs, and then, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, they walked eastward along the avenue, bypassing the crowded ninja school, passing through Tea Street and the small forest behind, and came to

The heart of Konoha Village.

This is the commercial street, one of the most prosperous areas of Konoha Village. Many famous shops are located here, including the famous Ichiraku Ramen, which is famous for its tonkotsu soup base, and the BBQ restaurant, which is famous for its special sauce.

The largest theater in Konoha, in addition to many apartments for people to live in, is also located here. Because it is the golden hour, it is very crowded and lively.

"Sandaime-sama, Jiraiya-sama."

"Hokage-sama..."

"Isn't this Lord Jiraiya?"

The figures of the two people in tandem attracted the attention of many people. Although Jiraiya had left Konoha Village for some time, due to the previous false propaganda, Konoha villagers knew a lot about the specific identities of the Sannin.

From time to time, someone would come up to say hello or stop and look back.

"here it is……?"

As Jiraiya walked, he felt even stranger. In front of him was obviously the residential area in the center of Konoha Village, where the villagers lived. Many single ninjas settled there. Could something else happen?

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not explain, and just kept walking forward. The two of them passed through the crowd one after another, occasionally saying hello to passers-by who greeted him, and finally stopped at the north side of the theater.

It's the house behind the wine shop.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped in front of a building. It was a three-story apartment building, with about five or six rooms on each floor. Although the house looked a bit old, it was in a good location. Once the window was opened, it was

You can see the Hokage Rock, the iconic building of Konoha Village.

The two of them stopped here for a while. Before Jiraiya could ask anything, Sarutobi Hiruzen took action again. He led Jiraiya up the stairs to the third floor, and then walked along the corridor to the corner.

In front of the apartment.

Obviously, this is a residence of a person. The khaki wooden door is closed tightly, and a piece of white paper with a red swirly pattern is pasted on the door. It seems that the owner of the house drew it at will, so the pattern is a bit distorted and crooked.

, looks a bit funny.

"arrive."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, he fumbled in his bag for a while, took out a slightly old key, and stepped forward to open the door.

Zhila~

With a long and harsh sound, as if something was screaming, the wooden door was finally fully opened.

As soon as I opened the door, a strange smell suddenly hit my face. I don't know what caused this strange smell. It felt like something was rotten and spoiled.

"Wow, what does it smell like?"

Jiraiya frowned and covered his nose to try to avoid the smell. It was not that he had never smelled the smell before, but he had never smelled such a smell in a place where people lived. It was unimaginable that this place was from the Leaf Village.

apartment.

"Old man, what exactly is this place?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned on the light in the room with a snap, and the yellow light instantly filled the entire room. With the bright light, the situation in the room could finally be seen clearly.

The first thing that catches the eye is a living room of about 20 square meters. There are all kinds of tables and chairs in it, but they are all scattered and skewed. There is a single bed in the top corner.

The bedding had not been made up yet and was wrapped in a mess with the pillows.

To the right of the living room are three small rooms, two smaller ones and one larger one, which appear to be toilets and washing areas.

To the left of the door is a small washbasin. Next to the basin is a paper box filled with cup noodles. The dining table in the middle of the living room is filled with empty cup noodles boxes. In addition, the floor of the room

and other locations were also littered with packaging bags of various fast foods, some of which looked very old, and ants could even be clearly seen moving in and out of them.

Judging from the current situation, the owner of the room seems to be rather slovenly and not very good at living.

Jiraiya frowned, he finally understood where the unusual smell in the room came from.

But he still didn't understand. What was Hiruzen Sarutobi planning to do by bringing him to a place where others lived?

"This...is the house where Naruto lives."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scene in the room, was silent for a while, slowly turned around, and finally said a word.

"Naruto?" Jiraiya was startled when he heard this: "Minato's child?"

"Yes, that's Minato and Kushina's child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded heavily.

"But why..."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, this didn't make sense.

He didn't understand that Minato was the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, the one who sacrificed himself to save the village. His child, the child of a hero, how could his living environment be like this?

Naruto's life could be so bad, this was something Jiraiya had never imagined.

In fact, since chasing Orochimaru away, Jiraiya has not returned to Konoha for many years, so he does not understand the treatment Naruto received in Konoha.

Seven years ago, after the Nine-Tails Incident, Konoha Village suffered an unprecedented huge impact. The Hokage died in the battle, the village was extensively destroyed, and countless elites who survived the Third Ninja War were also killed and injured. This made

Konoha, which was originally the victorious country and had the strongest military strength, suddenly fell from the peak to the bottom. It may not be the weakest, but its own strength has gradually become weaker than the Kumo ninja who are vigorously developing armaments.

At the same time, because of this incident, the surrounding countries have become somewhat ready to take action. Especially the Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja, who suffered heavy losses in the three wars, have mobilized their troops, seemingly taking this opportunity to provoke another war.

war intentions.

If their plan succeeds, once the war resumes, the scarred Leaf Village will easily become the target of public criticism. At that time, not to mention the Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja who are enemies, and even the ally Suna ninja or those nearby.

Small countries may also take the opportunity to invade, and the safety of Konoha Village suddenly becomes precarious.

At this critical moment, as the only high-end military force that exists outside, Jiraiya certainly cannot stay out of the matter. Although he also wants to know the inside story of the Nine-Tails incident, at that critical moment, the most important thing is to disrupt other countries' attempts to invade.

important things.

Therefore, seven years ago, under the instructions of the high-level officials of Konoha Village, Jiraiya went deep into the hinterlands of various countries alone, traveled to several large countries, and wandered around the territory of enemy countries. With the deterrence of the Sannin, he forced all countries not to send troops easily.

Because they were all afraid that Jiraiya would take advantage of the lack of troops to attack the Ninja Village headquarters.

No one will doubt the destructive power of the three ninjas. Any one of the three ninjas has the strength to destroy a small country alone. As long as they are willing, they can cause casualties comparable to the rampage of tailed beasts using only psychic techniques. No one can

Dare to ignore such a terrifying being wandering around your village.

It is also because of this that the war has not been rekindled for several years.

He has been doing this for several years. Fortunately, Jiraiya is very powerful, and with the help of the toad clan, his mobility has also been greatly improved. Although various countries have conducted hundreds of manhunts, they have not caught him, so he can

The enemy country, which is surrounded by dangers, has persisted for such a long time.

Until recently, with the passage of time, Konoha Village has almost digested the negative impact of the Nine-Tails Incident, and a new generation of young people has gradually grown up. The era of inactivity has gradually passed, and Jiraiya finally lost his

With a heavy burden on his body, he began to investigate the mysterious organization called "Akatsuki" that he discovered while tracking down Orochimaru. However, the investigation had just begun when he was urgently called back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, this is the first time that Jiraiya has returned to Konoha in seven years. At the same time, this is also the first time that he has come into contact with the fourth generation Hokage's son, Naruto.
