The Steady King of Konoha

The strategy of the Kingdom of Wind is not very clever, and it was seen through by Sarutobi Hiruzen at a glance, but it is so good that people cannot refuse it. The wealthy Konoha will not refuse the land that is offered to them, even if it may cause deeper hatred and a more brutal war.

.

These days, landlords don’t have enough food to spare, so don’t give it up for free.

As a result, the content of the armistice treaty was initially reached smoothly, and the next step was to select the signing location. Due to various considerations, the Third Kazekage requested to sign the treaty in Platycodon Castle, the largest city in Akihabara, but the old fox Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen

He rejected this proposal and unilaterally announced a signing ceremony at the border of the Land of Fire. Although he was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's hooligan behavior, the Third Kazekage still agreed, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.

After all the preparations were arranged, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to consider selecting ninjas to escort the Fire Country daimyo and his party to sign the treaty.

In name only, the daimyo is the head of state, and the entire territory is under the jurisdiction of the daimyo, but that is only in name. In fact, the daimyo of the Land of Fire only has economic and administrative rights in the territory, and the most important military power

The power is controlled by the Hokage, which is equivalent to a disguised thug-employer relationship.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire provide massive military expenses to Konoha every year, and Konoha Village is responsible for protecting territorial security. The two are integrated and do not interfere with each other. Although the Daimyo has the power to convene a meeting to replace the Hokage, more than forty years have passed.

, no daimyo dares to do this. After all, the minds of violent groups cannot be shaken by ordinary people, and daimyo who dares to challenge may be gone tomorrow.

As for the escort, Hiruzen Sarutobi would of course have to choose from his three apprentices. Is it possible that he should give it to the red-eyed Uncle Yu in Tuanfan Alley? It doesn't exist. This kind of fat job that brings people closer will be Hinata's turn.

It's not Uchiha's turn.

Among the three apprentices, Tsunade was no longer on the same side as Sarutobi Hiruzen due to the incident with the Senju clan, so she was eliminated first; Orochimaru was strong and calm, but he was too cold and would scare the daimyo, so he was also eliminated;

In the end, there is still one Jiraiya who is rough but somewhat lustful. It seems that there are many beauties in the capital. I wonder if it will cause trouble...

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brows in distress, frustration welling up in his heart. The successors he had trained since childhood were more and more outrageous. Is there anything worse than this?

After much deliberation, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to send Jiraiya. Although Jiraiya was lustful, good at drinking, and carefree and outspoken, he was the taller among the dwarfs, and he was the only one among the three ninjas that Hiruzen Sarutobi was given the opportunity to do.

dessert.

"Call Jiraiya." Hiruzen Sarutobi called to the empty office.

An ANBU emerged from the shadows and walked away immediately after receiving the order.

All ANBU ninjas knew that if they were looking for Tsunade, they would go to the casino, because the money-lending boy must be gambling; if they were looking for Orochimaru, they would go to his secret hut, but it was best not to go in, as it would be easy to get into trouble; if they were looking for Jiraiya, they would go to Fengqing Street or Fengqing Street or

When it comes to bathhouses, make sure you find the right one.

Jiraiya, who had lipstick marks on his face, walked into the camp's temporary Hokage's office as if he were at his own home. He slapped himself on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at the ground with dull eyes. His whole body instantly entered a state of resisting ideological education.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

If it weren't for the purpose of cultivating successors, labor and management would have to give you two big mouths.

"Jiraiya, don't go to those places with fireworks. Sex is like a bone-scraping steel knife. Young people should exercise restraint." Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.

Jiraiya couldn't help but nodded, and blurted out three times perfunctorily: "Yes, I understand, I will do it next time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's blood pressure rose, he muttered "Don't be angry, it's all your own choice" and then returned to calm.

"Go and fetch the daimyo. The signing ceremony will be held next..."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Jiraiya stood up and turned around to leave. Are you kidding me? After finally ending a large-scale war, it was a great time to search for materials and pick up some ghost names. Today

Even if the King of Heaven comes, I will never give in.

"I recently invented a telescope technique."

Just a few words made Jiraiya's legs unable to move anymore. A tangled look flashed across his face, and finally he became solemn and said solemnly: "As a member of Konoha, you should contribute to the village. This task

I took it."

No one can escape the law of true fragrance, and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is not worth mentioning in front of the law.

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a proud smile and successfully captured the heart of a handsome man, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"But this task is difficult."

"Difficult tasks can reflect the resilience of Konoha ninjas, leave it to me and you can rest assured!" Jiraiya said.

"No, no, I think Orochimaru is more suitable for this task than you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a desperate manner.

Jiraiya saw that the telescope technique was about to slip away from his hands, and said anxiously: "I was the one who came here first!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "Can you promise not to go to Fengqing Street?"

"able!"

"Can you promise not to drink alcohol or collect materials?"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said cruelly for the sake of future happiness: "Yes!"

After nodding with satisfaction, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Take the Minato team with you. At the same time, I will send two teams of ANBU to guard it secretly. By the way, what do you think of Baiyun Hazan in the Minato team?"

Jiraiya touched his hair in confusion and asked: "Isn't the Minato team always Inuzuka E, Akimichi Toto, and Shimura Shinji? Where did Baiyun Yeshan come from?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

"Go away, go and perform the mission immediately!"

Jiraiya ran out of the office in embarrassment amidst the roar of his master. As soon as he went out, he straightened his waist and became serious, and walked away amidst the greetings of the ninjas he met.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi scolded the unreliable Jiraiya, he picked up a report placed in the drawer and read it carefully. His eyebrows furrowed from time to time showed his displeasure.

This second investigation report on Baiyun Hayama made Sarutobi Hiruzen slightly dissatisfied. Hatake Sakumo's influence in the camp obscured the authenticity of Genbu's first investigation, but as Hayama's strength continued to improve,

Coupled with the fact that he was in Konoha's sensitive star team, Hiruzen Sarutobi launched a second investigation.

In the report, the head of the investigation team, Sarutobi Hakata, wrote Hayama a comment that he had no will to fire. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen alert. He was thinking about whether to kick Hayama out of the Minato team, but he had no reasonable excuse and was afraid of the cold.

The hero's heart made him very distressed.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, a ninja who does not support the concept of the Will of Fire is useless.

Although Konoha is small, there are many factions, and there is no meritocracy at all. Otherwise, how could the powerful Uchiha clan be promoted to the top.

The Will of Fire is very complicated to say, but there is only one core standard, which can be summarized as follows: listen to the shadow's command, have a good style, and be able to win the battle, among which listening to the shadow's command is the most important.

Although there is no record of disobedience in Hayama's report, there is no need to accuse him of it. Sometimes, it is not up to you to decide whether you can do it or not. If others say you can do it, you have to do it; if others say you can't, you can do it.

Not good enough.

...........

The next day, the Minato team, led by Jiraiya, quietly disappeared into the camp to perform an escort mission.

Hayama watched Jiraiya's tall body walking through the strongest side of the team, carefully thinking about the danger of the mission.

Obviously, the Third Hokage sent Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, to perform the mission not only to train successors, but also to prevent accidents.

From this perspective, it is clear where the potential danger comes from. Kirigakure, who is fighting fiercely with the Uchiha clan at the border, has sufficient reasons to take action.

The truce between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire will have the greatest impact on the Kingdom of Water. Once Konoha frees up its hands to concentrate its forces to deal with them, the consequences can be imagined. Due to emotions and reasons, Kirigakure will send ninjas to assassinate the Daimyo to prevent

The signing of the armistice treaty.

But the daimyo's special status in the country determines that Kirigakure does not dare to take action in the capital, even if they have the courage to do so. The daimyo who assassinated the largest nation in the ninja world in the capital, and the first one to jump out and reprimand Kirigakure, must be Minato.

The name of the country.

You know, in the final analysis, a daimyo is an ordinary person with power and cannot compete with ninjas. Once Kirigakure sets a precedent of assassinating a daimyo in the capital, he will immediately become the target of crusade by the entire ninja world, and even the daimyo of the Land of Water will declare a reorganization.

Ninja Village, completely abandon Kirigakure Village.

There is no way, as long as you have territory and property, you can have as many ninjas as you want. The entry barrier for this thing is not high, you just need to have the skills.

The non-production of ninjas determines that they rely on the daimyo for financial resources, and the safety and status of the daimyo are determined by the strength of the ninja village, forming a situation of mutual win-win and mutual assistance.

Therefore, Kirigakure's assassins would only take action after leaving the capital. Of course, the motives of other ninja villages to frame him and frame him cannot be completely ruled out.

The task of escorting the daimyo was destined to not be easy from the moment he left the capital and returned.

Two days later, the capital of the Country of Fire appeared in Hayama's sight. The capital of the Country of Fire is located in the center of the continent, with developed transportation and flat terrain. With this advantage, it has successfully developed into the largest city in the ninja world.

To be honest, Hayama, who has been accustomed to waiting in the shadows for many years, has entered the world of ordinary people for the first time. Hayama and Yamashiro Tatsu once discussed how to identify ninjas in the bustling streets, and the final conclusion was:

Anyone who likes to walk in the shade with his hands hanging motionless on his thighs must be a ninja.

At the entrance of the city gate, Jiraiya took out the official letter from the Hokage to the daimyo, and then followed the nodding and bowed young officer to Konoha's exclusive station to rest and wait for the daimyo's summons.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Jiraiya, who was full of uprightness, patted Minato on the shoulder, said "please take a stroll", and walked away in a flash.

Minato smiled bitterly. He naturally knew what his master was doing, but he couldn't say anything. After all, who doesn't have a personal preference?
