Wherever Uchiha flies, descendants are born.

Inside the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was sitting in his desk. In front of him stood Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune, six Anbu, and a pink piglet.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and ordered the ANBU: "You did a good job, go down first."

"yes!"

Six streaks of smoke drifted past, and the ANBU disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After seeing the ANBU leave, Jiraiya and Tsunade stopped pretending and sat down on the sofa without losing their temper.

"Old man, I haven't seen you for many years. You are in good health..."

"Haha... Jiraiya, you have grown a lot stronger..."

"Okay, okay, Jiraiya! Do we still need these useless greetings? Old man, you called us back. What happened?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of smoke: "I came back to you to deal with Orochimaru..."

He informed his two beloved disciples in detail about the recent events within Konoha and his concerns.

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other without any emotion on their expressions. They were already mentally prepared before coming.

"Due to my improper teaching back then, Orochimaru has gone too far now. In order to avoid future troubles, I am going to clean up the family..."

"There is Orochimaru's spy in the village, named Kabuto. I put him in charge of Uchiha Natsuyu, but there has been no result... Jiraiya, can you find Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya touched his chin: "If you work hard, it's almost... but do you really want to go this far?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I know you still have feelings for Orochimaru, but he went too far and I was helpless."

Jiraiya: "Okay, but when I see him, I have to ask clearly before taking action."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Well, it's up to you... After you find Orochimaru, remember to let Xia Yu and the Root Organization be the main force."

When speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately lowered his volume:

"This time, on the one hand, I want to get rid of Orochimaru, and on the other hand, I want to get rid of Xia Yu..."

"Xia Yu will also participate in the Orochimaru force annihilation battle. I gave him full responsibility for this matter from the beginning. Although the Root organization is currently managed by him, in fact, the real owner of the Root is me..."

"After taking care of Orochimaru, you and the root organization can directly kill Xia Yu on the spot."

"I have been preparing for many days. First, let him enter the senior level to take over the Root Organization, and then let him be responsible for investigating Orochimaru. All of this is to pave the way for killing him."

"And before killing him, we can let him and Orochimaru fight first..."

"No matter who wins or loses, the final winner will be us."

"Please, Jiraiya, Tsunade..."

"I'm afraid you and I are the only ones capable of dealing with them at the moment. However, I am the Hokage of the village and I have a lot of things to do. I can't just go out..."

"..."

Tsunade: "Old man, why don't you kill Xia Yu... He didn't do anything excessive. He only caused trouble for Danzo for revenge."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly turned cold:

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, I am old. One day, one of you will sit in my position. I hope you can consider the problem as the leader of the village..."

"Do you know why Danzo wanted to destroy the Uchiha clan at that time? Although he had selfish motives, his starting point was always for Konoha. The Nine-Tails must have been controlled by the Uchiha clan on the night of the Nine-Tails. This was why the Uchiha wanted to rebel. A precursor to..."

"Later, without my knowledge, Danzo and Uchiha Itachi bloodbathed the Uchiha clan. Although it was cruel, it actually preserved the stability of the village in the future."

"Now everyone knows the truth about Danzo. Even though he is despised by the world, in my heart, as the Hokage, I think he did the right thing..."

"But you have to admit your guilt. After all, from a moral perspective, he is wrong, but for the overall situation, he is right."

"Sacrificing Uchiha is better than sacrificing the entire Konoha. If the day comes when Uchiha really rebels, both Konoha and Uchiha will suffer, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure around us will definitely strangle us."

"I don't want to see that day, and I believe you don't want to either. Uchiha Xiayu's eyes are too dangerous. This is an unstable factor..."

"Remember, you are the future leaders. The benevolence and morality on the surface are for the public to see, but the darkness behind is the key to stabilizing the foundation, and it must be unknown!"

After hearing so much, Jiraiya and Tsunade were completely stunned and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, Tsunade said softly: "Master, you... seem to have changed."

In her eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen was always a kind person with a smile on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "No, this is the real me. After sitting in this position, you will understand..."

Jiraiya said seriously:

"Well... maybe I haven't reached your level yet, but I always feel that people will eventually understand each other. I also believe that there will be someone in the future who can make everyone in the world understand each other. No longer just rely on Take another person's life to solve the problem...even if that other person is the enemy."

"Innocent..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought helplessly in his heart and asked, "Jiraiya, then...are you still going to accept this mission?"

"catch!"

Jiraiya did not hesitate and responded directly: "I must go, but before killing Orochimaru and Xia Yu, I will talk to them in person..."

"Okay..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed:

"Then it's up to you to find Orochimaru's base, Tsunade. Go to the hospital. There are body fluids collected from pregnant women in the entire Hokage building. Go and have a look and try to research an antidote."

"Okay, I understand..."
