Volume 1, Chapter 218: Jiraiya is fooled again, Orochimaru exposes the truth
"Jiraiya is still the same. Nothing has changed."
Sheng Shu had a look of disdain on his face.
Minato was speechless, patted his forehead and smiled bitterly:
“It’s a bit of a hassle. I went to the Hokage office building this morning to apply for a mission with Qianyue.
The Hokage said that he has a special mission for Qianyue and asked Qianyue to go to the Hokage office building. "
"Good for you Minato!!"
Before Minato could finish, Nawaki started to scream:
"You're actually going to abandon me and leave the village with Qianyue. You have no loyalty!!"
"Shut up!!"
Things are chaotic enough already, why are you adding to the chaos?
Minato glared at Rope Tree with a stern face.
"Well........"
Rope Tree instantly became quiet, staring at the mad Minato in astonishment, thinking to himself:
Did Little Sun take the wrong medicine today?
The smell of gunpowder is so strong.
Looks like something interesting happened, old man and Chizuki-kun?
Nawaki quieted down, and Minato continued:
"When Qianyue came back, he asked me to help him write an application. He wanted to retire and no longer be a ninja."
“........”
The smile on Orochimaru's face froze slightly.
Sheng Shu was stunned. He didn't care about the injuries on his body and sat up from the bed:
"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts!!
Qianyue, this bastard, actually wants to retire. What did the Hokage say to him? "
"Because the Hokage asked Chitsuki why she was unwilling to contribute to the village, Chitsuki, who had always been targeted, felt very disappointed, so she wanted to retire."
"No more talking, I'm going to go find Jiraiya-sensei."
Minato rushed out of the ward and ran towards some areas of Konoha where children were not allowed to go.
"teacher."
Nawaki was extremely anxious and wanted to ask the Third Hokage in person why he did this.
However, he was injured and couldn't move at all. He could only look at Orochimaru for help.
Orochimaru smiled slightly:
"I'll go ask the old man. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. I'll send a message to Tsunade."
"Then I'll leave it to you, teacher."
With a wave of his hand, Orochimaru left the ward and closed the door gently.
It seems that the old man has done some good things again, otherwise he would not have chosen to retire Qian Yueqi.
If Tsunade knew this news, she would be furious.
“It seems to be getting more and more interesting.”
Orochimaru did not go to the Hokage's office building first, but went around to the Intelligence Department.
"I need to send some information to Tsunade, you prepare a ninja hawk."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
The people from the Intelligence Department didn't dare to ask more questions. They put away the scroll handed to them by Orochimaru and then released the Ninja Hawk.
The ninja hawk flew into the sky and headed towards the river country.
After doing all this, Orochimaru slowly walked towards the Hokage office building.
Unfortunately, not far from the Hokage's office building, he ran into Jiraiya, who was drunk and had several lipstick marks on his neck.
Seeing Orochimaru, Jiraiya's eyes lit up, he walked up quickly and complained:
"Orochimaru, what's wrong with the old man? The situation in the village is already chaotic enough, why is he still making things worse?"
"Don't you know what those old guys are thinking?"
Orochimaru smiled disdainfully.
“........”
Jiraiya paused, smiled bitterly and said:
"I hope this matter won't get out of hand. Once it gets out of hand, it will definitely affect the morale of the frontline. By the way, Tsunade still doesn't know about it, right?"
"I just sent her a message."
“Nani!!!”
Jiraiya jumped up high, unable to believe what Orochimaru said.
Has he sent a message to Tsunade?
Once Tsunade finds out about this, she will definitely be furious and will probably rush back to the village immediately.
Orochimaru, do you think the matter is not big enough?
Jiraiya was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction. He pointed at Orochimaru and was speechless.
Orochimaru sneered:
"Since you're going to make a scene, why not make it bigger and let everyone know the ugly faces of some people. Now it's Qianyue Jun, and maybe it will be you and me in the future."
"No, the old man would never do that!"
Jiraiya believed in the Third Hokage. He believed that the Third Hokage would not do this to him and Orochimaru.
"I didn't believe it before, but after experiencing the war in the Rain Country, I realized that people can change."
“........”
Jiraiya was speechless in rebuttal.
The two came to the Hokage's office building, and Jiraiya opened the door anxiously and walked in.
When the Third Hokage saw Jiraiya and Orochimaru, he knew that trouble was coming.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you willing to force Qianyue out of the village?"
"That's not what I meant."
The Third Hokage had a gloomy face and said defensively:
"Besides, I wasn't the one who asked Qianyue to carry out this special mission."
You guys made the suggestions, and now that things have gotten out of hand, of course you have to take the blame.
The truth cannot be hidden, and since it cannot be hidden, we must first get ourselves out of it.
The situation is different when the Hokage targets his own people and when the elders target their own people.
The former can easily cause a big mess, but the latter...
It doesn't hurt or itch and it subsides easily.
"Even if it wasn't you, you were the one who sat back and watched them do whatever they wanted!"
Jiraiya's voice rose several degrees in anger, and Orochimaru stood aside with his arms folded, watching the show.
He found the play very interesting.
"What kind of special mission is it that requires Qianyue to complete it?"
"We negotiated with Hanzo on behalf of the village to have Rain Village evacuate the Iron Kingdom to end the war. Danzo has already been there, but was chased by Hanzo all the way, and the Anbu and Root lost a lot of people."
The Third Hokage sighed, lit his pipe, and took two deep puffs of smoke:
“We do all this for the village.”
"The Iron Country, as a neutral country, was attacked by the Rain Village ninjas led by Hanzo. Konoha could not sit idly by.
But because of the defeat in the war, Hanzo became hostile to Konoha, so the negotiations broke down."
Directing the problem to the village level would make it easy to appease Jiraiya, which was a tactic often used by the Third Hokage.
This trick is very useful against Jiraiya and Tsunade.
No matter how angry they are, Jiraiya and Tsunade will choose to make concessions for the sake of the village.
Sure enough, after hearing what the Third Hokage said, Jiraiya fell silent with a bitter look on his face.
The words he wanted to say on behalf of Qianyue were stuck in his throat.
Everything is for the village. The interests of the village are obviously more important than personal issues.
"I remember Tsunade mentioned that Hanzo hated Konoha because the village did not send someone of equal status to the negotiations after the war, which led to Hanzo's hatred."
Just when Jiraiya was about to be convinced, Orochimaru said slowly.
“Cough cough cough!!”
After these words were spoken, the Third Hokage was choked and started coughing, tears streaming down his face.
Jiraiya widened his eyes and stared at the Third Hokage, are you fooling me?
"Old man, Jiraiya, Tsunade and I fought hard in the Rain Country battlefield and were given the humiliating title of Sannin for no reason. Please don't use Hanzo's excuse to make things worse."
The Third Hokage used other things to block Jiraiya, but Orochimaru had no objection and would not interfere.
But when the Third Hokage used Hanzo to block Jiraiya, Orochimaru couldn't stand it anymore.
Old man, you are awesome!!
Jiraiya was so angry that he slammed the table hard:
“It’s clear that Hanzo’s hatred for the village was caused by the negotiations.
Qianyue is the one who forced Hanzo.
Since it’s useless even if Danzo goes there, what do you think Chitsuki can do if he goes there?
Force Hanzo to give in again?"
"Aren't you afraid of forcing Hanzo to the enemy's side?"
"I remember Qianyue had already refused to accept this mission, didn't she?"
