Chapter 56 Main Mission 3: Meeting the Three Hokage

"I want Sasuke to go abroad to study." Shingon revealed some information to Kakashi, because Sasuke's departure from the village could not be kept secret. "And Naruto has been confused recently, hasn't he? I found someone who can help Naruto solve his confusion."

After the Chunin Exam, Naruto has been troubled. Jiraiya happened to be leaving the village to look for a recruit, so he took Naruto with him and let him go out to relax.

After the two of them brought back the Fifth Hokage, Shingon planned to ask the Fifth Hokage to arrange the study abroad procedures for Sasuke. He wanted to allow Sasuke to leave the village and study abroad properly.

Before the return of the Fifth Hokage, Shingon asked Hakuzetsu to help search the Uzumaki clan's territory for the Death Mask. While waiting for the result, Shingon discovered that the comic forum had been updated.

This comic update mainly talks about Naruto and Jiraiya's search for Tsuna and how they persuaded him to return to the village to become Hokage.

Tsunade is a medical ninja with superb medical skills. She is also one of the three famous ninjas along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. She has disappeared in recent years because her lover and brother died in the war. These two most important people to her both once aimed to become Hokage. Now that she is asked to return to the village to become Hokage, she can't help but feel a little sad.

So when Jiraiya and Naruto came over, Tsuna refused without any hesitation.

Although she refused, Tsuna was curious about Naruto. She asked Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, who is this kid you brought with you?"

"Naruto, can't you recognize me?" Jiraiya asked back.

Tsuna stared at Naruto and said in a daze, "He must be Minato's son."

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto emphasized. These days he was often called the son of the Fourth Hokage, so he was more sensitive about the title.

"Hey, kid, you are quite ambitious." Tsunade teased.

"Of course. One day, I want everyone to remember my name!" Naruto said.

Tsuna curled his lips and said, "It's not easy to achieve this. You little brat, don't you want to be a Hokage in the future?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "I don't want to be Hokage."

Tsuna asked in surprise: "Why don't you want to be Hokage?"

"Didn't Granny Tsunade also refuse to be Hokage?" Naruto said.

"You want to compete with me, kid?" Tsunade smiled and said, "I refused to be Hokage because I didn't want to do it."

"I don't want to do it either." Naruto followed.

"You're talking big like that. Do you really have what it takes to be a Hokage?" Tsuna felt somewhat dissatisfied when he heard Naruto look down on the Hokage.

Naruto was unconvinced and said, "Of course I have the ability, but I want to become a ninja more powerful than the Hokage!"

The gang leader laughed out loud, and she said, "In that case, do you dare to bet with me?"

"What are you betting on?" Naruto asked.

"Let's see who's better." said the leader.

"What if I hurt Granny Tsunade?" Naruto asked, he was very confident in his own strength.

Tsuna laughed out loud again, and she asked Jiraiya: "Who taught this brat?"

Naruto grew up with Kakashi, but if you ask who had the greatest influence on Naruto, Jiraiya would think of Shingen.

"He's an interesting kid." Jiraiya said.

"Another little brat?" Tsunade muttered. At this moment, she didn't take Jiraiya's words to heart.

Tsuna looked at Naruto in front of her, she stretched out a finger and said, "I can beat you with just one finger."

Hearing what Tsunayoshi said, Jiraiya wanted to stop them, but thinking of the purpose of their visit, he changed his mind and said, "Naruto is still a Genin, Tsunayoshi, aren't you a little too strict?"

Tsuna glanced at Jiraiya and said, "Why? How much more do you want me to give up?"

"No, I just want to ask what the bet is?" Jiraiya asked, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

"If this kid wins, I'll go back with you." The master said confidently, "If I win, you don't have to bother me anymore."

"Master Tsunade..." Tsunade's apprentice Jingyin was very worried because Tsunade was a good gambler but always lost when he gambled.

If he hadn't bet on this competition, the probability of Outsmarting the opponent to win would have been very high, but after betting, Jingyin always had a bad feeling.

"What are you afraid of?" Tsuna asked proudly, "Jingyin, do you think I will lose?"

Silent: “…………”

"I will never lose to Granny Tsunade!" Naruto couldn't help but speak out, and while he was speaking, he had already attacked.

Tsuna was smiling confidently one second ago, but the smile froze on his face the next second, because Naruto had thoroughly discovered the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth tactics since the battle in the Forest of Death.

Tsuna was caught off guard by the verbal attack, and she didn't start to react until Naruto got close to her. However, due to the interference of the voice in her head, her movements seemed a little uncoordinated.

As one of the three ninjas, Tsuna reacted quickly. If she wanted to win, she couldn't let the sounds in her head accumulate. As a medical ninja, Tsuna relied on her familiarity with the structure of the human body. She acted decisively and used chakra to block her own hearing nerves.

This time when she looked at Naruto again, Tsuna put away her initial playful attitude. She became serious and said, "Kid, your little tricks are no longer effective on me."

Tsuna flexed his fingers, intending to flick Naruto away with one finger when he came over again.

Naruto's desire to win had already been aroused. When he heard what Tsuna said, he also became serious. Golden chakra began to surge from his body, and the golden chakra enveloped Naruto layer by layer. Finally, a golden giant fox condensed with Naruto as the center...

The hand that just finished exercising its fingers: "…………"

Tsuna turned to Jiraiya who was watching the fight on the side. She suddenly forced out a kind smile, waved her fist which had just been flexed, and hit Jiraiya: "You told me this is a Genin!"

Jiraiya was punched in the head by Tsunade, and the earplugs in his ears fell out. Seeing the earplugs, Tsunade threw another punch: "Jiraiya, you dare to cheat me!"

Jiraiya covered his head and explained repeatedly: "You were the one who wanted to make the bet, I didn't say anything!"

"You didn't tell me that brat was a genin?!"

"I'm telling the truth. Naruto didn't get promoted in the Chunin Exam not long ago." Seeing Tsuna start to clench his fists again, Jiraiya, who had already been hit by two punches, quickly moved back a distance and reminded him, "Tsuna, your competition with Naruto hasn't ended yet..."

"Um...are you still going to fight?" Naruto, who had entered Nine-Tails mode, also asked.

Before the Chunin Exam, Kurama and Shukaku's chakra were taken away by Shingon. During the Chunin Exam, although both of them came out, they did not last for more than a few minutes because they both exited the Tailed Beast Mode due to insufficient chakra.

The Chunin Exams have just ended not long ago, and Kurama's chakra has not yet fully recovered, so Naruto's Nine-Tails mode cannot last for a few minutes.

Tsuna heard Naruto's voice and looked over.

Hit? What to hit?

Flick the beast with one finger?

From the moment Naruto entered Tailed Beast Mode, there was no need to continue the fight, and the bet naturally came to an end. Tsuna, who always lost in bets, lost without any surprise.

Now, according to the bet, Tsuna is going to return to Konoha to take over as the Fifth Hokage.

Tsuna, who was tricked by Jiraiya, was very angry. She chased after Jiraiya and punched him twice before leaving without looking back.

"Master Tsunade, where are we going?" Jingyin chased after him, holding the little piglet Tuntun.

"Go back to Konoha." Tsunade said with gritted teeth.

Seeing that Tsunayoshi Ken was returning to the village, Jiraiya hurriedly followed him, but he kept a distance from him. He covered his chest and said, "Are you still that heavy-handed? My ribs are almost broken..."

"So it's not broken yet?" Tsuna clenched his fist again, "Do you want me to hit you again?"

"Hey, hey, give me some face in front of your disciple!" Ziraiya knew that he was in the wrong, so he asked for mercy.

Tsuna snorted in dissatisfaction, she looked at Naruto who was following Jiraiya, and asked, "Who is the brat you were talking about before?"

"You'll see him when you return to Konoha. He's a very interesting kid." Jiraiya said with a smile on his face. "Many changes in Konoha over the years are related to that kid."

"From the looks of it, it seems that you like that kid very much. Will you accept him as your disciple again?" Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya shook his head in regret: "That brat is not a ninja."

"Not a ninja?" Tsunade was suspicious. Jiraiya said before that Naruto was a Genin, but Naruto released the Nine-Tails. Now there is another person who is not a ninja. Tsunade suspected that Jiraiya was trying to trick her again.

"It's definitely not a ninja."

The two of them walked in silence for a while without saying anything else. Jiraiya suddenly said, "You already know about Orochimaru, right?"

"That guy is getting further and further away..."

Shingon saw what happened above in the comics, but he never expected that the black shadow would appear again. Just after Jiraiya and Tsunade talked about Orochimaru, the comics turned to Orochimaru's base.

In the dark base, Orochimaru faced a black figure, with a line of dialogue written next to him: [I am looking forward to our future cooperation.]

[Ahhhhh the shadow appears again]

[The black shadow is causing trouble again, the protagonist is in danger!]

[Who is this shadow? Why is he always causing trouble behind the scenes?]

[Those who are positive are not villains]

[In addition to the fact that Black Shadow's words revealed a lot of information, judging from Jiraiya and Tsuna's conversation, is there a new character about to appear?]

[If he's not a ninja, he probably isn't a main character]

[From Jiraiya's description, he should be a very positive character]

[The author probably wanted to balance it out, after all, the shadows are too dark]

[I want to know the real identity of Black Shadow more than the new character. Don’t just give me a shadow every time!]

[I have a feeling there is a terrifying conspiracy behind the black shadow]

[I agree. This time Black Shadow and Orochimaru are working together for a big purpose]

Seeing the conspiracy theories start again in the comments section, Shin-Yeong used a guest account to guide the discussion: [I think Black Shadow and Orochimaru are discussing serious business.]

[Hahahaha this is so funny, someone above actually said that Black Shadow and Orochimaru were discussing serious business?]

[Has the person above not read the previous comics? This black shadow has caused trouble several times]

[This black shadow is a real villain]

[The above person said that Black Shadow and Orochimaru were discussing serious business, but it is more reliable to guess that Black Shadow and the positive energy character mentioned by Jiraiya are the same person.] Amidst a bunch of objections, this comment suddenly popped up, and Shinyan had to like and reply: [You are right! ]

Having successfully led to today's correct comments, Zhenyan left the forum with satisfaction.

When the comics were updated on the forum, Naruto and Jiraiya brought back the Fifth Hokage. At the same time, White Zetsu found the Death Mask that could break the seal of the corpse in the Uzumaki clan.

Mango was not in a hurry to meet the Fifth Hokage, but went to see Orochimaru first with the mask of death. This time was different from the last time, Mango brought Naruto and Sasuke with him.

Arriving at Orochimaru's base and meeting Orochimaru, Shingon first introduced Sasuke and Naruto: "Say hello to your Uncle Orochimaru."

"Uncle Orochimaru." Naruto spoke first, then looked at Orochimaru curiously.

"Uncle Orochimaru." Sasuke also spoke, but his expression was very cold.

The last time they met in the Forest of Death, although Orochimaru had a strong aura when he appeared, his performance was not very good when he fought with him and Naruto later. In short, if Sasuke were to become Orochimaru's disciple, he would still have some doubts about Orochimaru's true strength.

When Orochimaru saw Sasuke and Naruto, he subconsciously rubbed his temples. It was obvious that he was not very excited about his future apprentice.

Orochimaru retracted his gaze and turned to Shingon: "It seems that Shingon-kun has found a way to crack the seal of the dead."

Shingon didn't waste any time. He directly took out the Death Mask and told Orochimaru how to use it that Kushina had told him.

"I am only responsible for providing the method. You have to do the stomach cutting yourself." Zhenyan emphasized that in order to break the seal of the corpse ghosts, one needs to put on the mask of the god of death to summon the god of death, let the god of death possess the body, and then cut open the stomach to release the soul devoured by the god of death.

Zhenyan felt that she couldn't do this.

Orochimaru had no objection to this. After all, the condition they had discussed before was just to let Shingon find a way to crack it.

Orochimaru took the death mask handed to him by Shingon, and then asked his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi to prepare the sacrifice.

The so-called sacrifices are the vegetative people spawned by the White Zetsu spores. Three are used for the earth rebirth, and one is used for Orochimaru's undead reincarnation.

Shingo thought the next scene might be a little bloody, so he took the two minors, Naruto and Sasuke, to wait outside the room.

"Brother Shingon, is Uncle Orochimaru a bad guy?" While waiting, Naruto asked Shingon.

It is really difficult to judge this question. The final cause of death of the Third Hokage was due to the use of the Ghoul Sealing Technique, but Orochimaru, who provoked the incident, is not innocent.

But fighting and killing seems to be the norm in the ninja world, not to mention that Orochimaru and the Third Hokage have a complicated master-disciple relationship. Whether Orochimaru is good or bad, Shingon thinks that the person most qualified to answer this question should be the Third Hokage.

"You can ask the third generation master about this question later." Zhenyan said to Mingren.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise: "I can still see the third generation master?"

"Not only the Third Hokage, you will also be able to meet the other two Hokage in a while. The Hokage should be able to answer your questions." Shingon added. This was also the reason why he brought Naruto along.

As soon as Zhenyan finished speaking, Yaoshi Dou came out and reminded, "A few of you can come in now."

In the room, Senju Tobirama saw Orochimaru again, and he couldn't help but say, "Why are you here again?"

"Tobirama, I told you that you shouldn't have invented so many forbidden techniques." said Hashirama Senju.

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do this time?" The Third Hokage frowned and looked at Orochimaru, "Are you going to attack Konoha again? Even want to use me, your teacher?"

"It's not who I want to meet this time." Orochimaru spoke slowly.

The Third Hokage: "What do you mean?"

"Third-generation master, and the two Hokage masters, it is I who want to see you." Zhenyan walked in and said.

Hearing the voice of Shingon, the three Hokage looked over at the same time. The most surprised one to see Shingon here was undoubtedly the Third Hokage: "Shingon, why are you here?"

"Is it the Uchiha kid?" Senju Tobirama obviously still remembered Managao.

"Second-generation Grandpa, my name is Zhenyan." Zhenyan introduced himself first.

Senju Tobirama's eyes swept between Shingon and Orochimaru. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face became serious as he asked, "What do you Uchiha want to do?"

"It's my personal matter." Shingen said, "I want to ask the first generation master for a authorization to use Wood Release, and I also want to ask a few Hokage masters to help Naruto solve his doubts."

"Uchiha is actually coveting Wood Release?" Senju Tobirama said.

"I'm not coveting it. I'm just here to get the authorization from the first generation grandfather," Zhenyan explained.

"Don't be so serious, Tobirama." Senju Hashirama spoke with a gentle smile on his face. He asked Shingon, "Do you want to learn Wood Release?"

Zhenyan shook her head: "I just want authorization."

"Do you want to experiment with Wood Release?" Senju Tobirama spoke again.

"No, it was the clan leader uncle who said that Wood Release is the unique blood limit of the Senju." Shingon explained patiently, "I want to use Wood Release, so I came to the first generation grandfather to get authorization."

After Zhenyan finished speaking, the small room suddenly fell into silence. After a long while, Senju Hashirama suddenly laughed heartily. He looked at Zhenyan and seemed to have understood Zhenyan's train of thought: "You mean you can use Wood Release, but the clan leader uncle doesn't allow you to use it?"

"Yeah." Zhenyan nodded heavily. He didn't understand if what he said was so difficult to understand? Why did he have to ask him again and again.

"How do you know Wood Release?" Senju Tobirama was very surprised. Although he had previously mistakenly thought that Mangon was his brother's descendant, now no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Mangon looked like Uchiha.

"It's grown from farming." Zhenyan said. He felt that this was a very natural thing, but every time he said it, everyone seemed surprised.

Thinking of this, Shingen asked the First Hokage, "Grandpa First, how did you learn Wood Release?"

"Mine..." said Senju Hashirama, scratching the back of his head, "I was fighting on the battlefield and it came out."

"Can you use Wood Release in a fight?" Zhenyan was surprised. "I tried to open my eyes by fighting but failed."

"Hahahaha." Senju Hashirama was amused by the truth. He couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you grow Wood Release?"

"It's just to practice controlling chakra. I want to see if chakra can make radishes grow faster." Zhenyan explained, and at the same time couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it normal to grow Wood Release from farming? Why do everyone look so surprised?"

"Who told you that it is normal to grow Wood Release by growing crops?" Senju Tobirama couldn't help but speak. It was already very abnormal to grow Wood Release by growing crops, let alone that it was an Uchiha who grew Wood Release.

"Farming requires dealing with crops, and crops are plants. Plants and Wood Release are closely related." Shingon said.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

Senju Tobirama turned to the Third Hokage and asked, "Don't ninja schools teach ninja common sense nowadays?"

The reaction of the truth made Senju Tobirama feel that Konoha was doomed...

The Third Hokage: "Makoto has never been to school..."

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

"Hahahahaha." Senju Hashirama laughed heartily again. He said to Shingon, "You have a natural talent for Wood Release."

Shingon shook his head and said humbly, "I don't have any talent for cultivation, so I'm not a ninja."

Senju Tobirama: “…………” What happened in Konoha in these years after his death?

"Isn't he a ninja?" Senju Hashirama was also a little surprised.

Shingen nodded: "I don't know any physical skills, nor do I know how to cast hand seals."

Senju Hashirama thought back to the Wood Release Ninjutsu he often used and couldn't help but ask, "Is it difficult to make a seal?"

"Isn't it easy?" Shingon began to discuss with Senju Hashirama, "But the last time I used the Renju family's ninjutsu, the hand seals were very complicated."

"It's not difficult, I'll teach you an easy one." Senju Hashirama said, "Just clap your hands."!
