Chapter 157 Looking for Answers
Konoha seemed to have experienced a huge earthquake.

One third of the entire village was destroyed.

Over a thousand people were killed or injured.

Hundreds of Ninjas!
Recovery is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Jiraiya is back.

Dealing with the three ninjas in their peak condition earned him the trust of everyone in Konoha, which gave them a certain amount of confidence.

but!

Because he came back, many things became even more difficult to deal with.

In such a huge explosion, the ninjas of the Sarutobi family could no longer hide.

A population of several thousand appeared in front of everyone.

Thousands of ninjas were also in everyone's sight.

The atmosphere of the entire Konoha suddenly changed.

During the reconstruction work, the ninjas of Konoha also became silent.

……

"No, absolutely not!"

The third generation spoke fiercely and shouted: "Jiraiya's Konoha Sannin is the pillar of Konoha. How can we hurt him?"

"Hiruzen, don't hesitate!"

Danzo said angrily: "The Sarutobi family has been exposed, and the Shimura family has also been tracked down intentionally or unintentionally. Sooner or later, it will be exposed."

It wasn't that he was lucky, but that he built the ninja clan in a relatively remote corner.

It's a matter of his character.

The Sarutobi family was closer to the center of the village.

Xiaonan's detonating talisman paper crane naturally radiates from the center of the village to the surrounding areas.

As a result, the Sarutobi family suffered huge losses, while the losses of the Shimura family were almost negligible.

"Although the clan sites of Tenne and Mitomon were bombed, a large number of ninjas came out of them."

"Seven thousand!"

"The outside world now says that our four clans have 7,000 ninjas."

"If we don't take Konoha now, when will you wait?"

"Your and my reputations are now at an extremely low level. We must rule all of Konoha by force as soon as possible."

Danzo roared angrily.

Although he didn't care what people thought of him, he was extremely eager to become Hokage.

"That can't hurt Jiraiya!"

The third generation was very persistent about this.

He is already in this state, and he probably won’t be able to stay in the position of Hokage for long.

Jiraiya was his choice!

He actually wanted to pass the position to Asuma Sarutobi.

In the original work, Asuma Sarutobi's student is Ino-Shika-Chou, which makes the point clear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted his son to compete for the position of Hokage. Even if he failed, he would at least serve as an elder of Konoha.

but.

It is impossible for Asuma Sarutobi to become Hokage now. He is far from being strong enough and prestigious enough.

Even Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help him.

So, he chose Jiraiya.

Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "Jiraiya has sided with those ninjas. He has become our enemy invisibly. Do you understand?"

"I'll talk to him."

"You... Hiruzen, you're going to regret this."

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

The two were separated at this point.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En remained silent on the side.

No one cares about them anyway.

Moreover, they are still immersed in grief.

Although some people escaped from the explosion caused by Uchiha Kazuki, many people still died.

They feel distressed!

"Somebody come!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's deep voice sounded: "Call Jiraiya."

After saying that, he prepared to return to the position of Hokage and wait for Jiraiya.

When he turned his head, he saw the two people sleeping in the same bed, and he was startled. "You two are still here?"

Utane Koharu, Mitomon En: "..."

So you didn't care about us just now?

This was the scene Jiraiya saw when he arrived.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked as if they had eaten a dead child. They turned around and left without even looking at him.

Jiraiya was confused and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Old man, did you molest them?"

"roll!"

Hearing this 'cute, fierce' scolding, Jiraiya shuddered in fear.

Almost jumped!
"Hey, old man, what's wrong with you? I'm scared."

"Cough cough!"

"Okay, stop coughing!" Jiraiya said helplessly: "When you talk, if you are not restrained for a moment, you will... Alas!"

He covered his face!
Nima!

How many days has he been gone this time?

He no longer recognized the entire Konoha.

The Uchiha clan is gone.

I won’t play with you anymore.

Seven thousand ninjas from the four clans including Sarutobi suddenly appeared.

When Nara Shikaku saw him, his eyes were filled with tears, just like when he saw his dead father, and he was almost kneeling down to kowtow.

The old man had become like this, that high-pitched sound…it was just rubbing against the skin.

You said there is no problem, let me believe it or not!
The village became like this.

There is also a little secret belonging to Jiraiya.

He seemed to know the woman who caused all this... He must not tell her!

absolute!

The third generation said coldly: "It's because of Uchiha..."

"okay!"

Jiraiya interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "My attack interrupted Uchiha Kazuki's words. He didn't continue talking about the Uchiha and Naruto. Otherwise, what do you think he would have said?"

"I'll tell you."

"He will say that the Uchiha have made great contributions to the village, so why can't the village accommodate them? Why force them to leave?"

Jiraiya's eyes looked a little dazed.

"Sometimes, I wonder, if a Hokage is really born in the Uchiha..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Sandaime interrupted Jiraiya excitedly and said, "Oh my God, Jiraiya, how could you have such an idea? If the Uchiha gave birth to a Hokage, can you imagine what the village will become?"

Jiraiya said coldly, "I don't think it will get any worse than it is now."

The third generation froze in place.

Heartbroken!
The two fell into silence.

"Flying Thunder God!"

Jiraiya was the first to break the silence and said, "Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's most proud ninjutsu, is now strangling Konoha's throat. What are you going to do?"

"do not know!"

The Sandai smiled bitterly and said, "Flying Thunder God comes and goes freely. What I am worried about now is that Uchiha Kazuki will have nothing better to do and suddenly appear in Konoha, throw down a bunch of detonating tags and run away. But..."

"Boom!"

Just before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his words, loud noises were heard in the distance.

"…The barrier can't stop him!"

Neither of them moved.

Does it make sense to rush out at this time?

Jiraiya stood outside the window, looking at the rising smoke, sighed, and said, "And Naruto."

Sandai was startled and asked quickly, "What happened to him?"

"Uchiha Kazuki was not interrupted by me, but didn't have time to finish his words." Jiraiya turned his head and looked at the Sandai with a serious expression, and said: "I think he did this on purpose. His purpose is to let Naruto find the answer himself."

"One that's related to him."

"One is related to his good friend, Uchiha Sasuke."

The answer you find yourself is the best.

Uchiha Kazuki, in a sense, is also a devil who controls people's hearts.
