Volume 1 Chapter 225 Submitting an application and reminding Orochimaru
"I'm sorry, seniors. I have to go back to the village. I will ask Orochimaru and Jiraiya to come back for support. You two seniors don't need to worry. The camp is weak. We just need to wait for a few days."
Play is play, jokes are jokes, but war is not a joke.
Even if Tsunade returns to Konoha, she will let Orochimaru and Jiraiya go back to the camp first to support Hatake Sakumo.
"That's good."
Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikashin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there is no shortage of jonin in the camp, there is a lack of strong people who can influence the situation on the battlefield.
It is far from enough to rely on Hatake Sakumo alone. Although Hatake Sakumo is strong enough, he can only drag the Third Kazekage and cannot help more.
Fortunately, Chiyo and Ebizo, the brother and sister from the Sand Village, have returned to the Sand Village and retired to enjoy their retirement, otherwise Konoha would be under even greater pressure.
Apart from anything else, the old lady Chiyo is enough to give Hatake Sakumo a hard time.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Tsunade left decisively, went to pack up her things, and then returned to the village.
Inside the command center, everyone looked at each other, staring at each other. It looked like this meeting couldn't continue.
"What the hell is going on! Why can't we just finish the war?"
Hatake Sakumo slammed the table in anger.
As the commander-in-chief, he felt so aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, there is no point in feeling uncomfortable, you can only bear it, there is no other way.
Even if you are the commander-in-chief on the front line, you still have to obey the orders of the higher-ups.
Even as the commander-in-chief, he still couldn't give orders to Tsunade and others, and could only discuss with them.
It was also thanks to the Sannin's respect for their senior, Hatake Sakumo.
If someone else were to take charge, it would probably be more difficult to direct.
No one wanted to respond. Since it involved high-level officials, no one wanted to get into trouble because of talking nonsense.
The next morning, Qianyue came to the Hokage's office building in full view of everyone and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in."
The Third Hokage's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked like he hadn't had enough rest, with fatigue all over his aging face.
"Hokage-sama, this is my application for retirement."
Qianyue put the application on the table:
"Please, Lord Hokage, review it and approve it."
Seeing the application on the table, the Third Hokage was too angry. His brain, which was a little groggy due to lack of rest, began to ache. He raised his hand to rub his solar plexus and sighed:
"Qianyue, there are some problems with my expression, but I don't mean to force you to retire."
Qianyue didn't say anything, but turned and left the Hokage's office.
Of course you don't mean to ask me to retire. You are just targeting me and want me to work like a slave for you.
It seems that this misunderstanding is difficult to clear up!
The Third Hokage shook his head, put the application away and placed it in the file.
As for reviewing and then approving?
it's out of the question.
"Go inform Orochimaru and Jiraiya to come see me."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The Anbu members received orders to go find Jiraiya and Orochimaru and tell them that the Hokage wanted to see them.
Orochimaru was fine. Even though he hadn't slept all night for his research, at least he looked in good spirits.
Zilai looked a little miserable, with messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't had a good rest.
After sending Rope Tree back to the village, Jiraiya went to some places where children were not allowed to go to have some fun.
Since I can't go and do some voyeuristic research, at least I can spend money to have fun, right?
While the rest time was still there, Jiraiya lived a fulfilling life every day, though it was a bit costly and strenuous.
But before the fun was over, Minato showed up.
Combined with what happened yesterday, Jiraiya couldn't sleep the whole night and looked half dead.
"Even if you're having fun, you should take care of your health. I'm afraid you'll die on a woman."
Glancing at Jiraiya, Orochimaru said calmly.
"Get lost. I can't sleep because of Qianyue."
Jiraiya got angry and started cursing at him.
Orochimaru sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
You Jiraiya looked hollowed out, and you were still saying that you couldn't sleep the whole night because of Chitsuki?
I, Orochimaru, also didn't sleep all night, but I didn't seem to be in a bad state.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Orochimaru looked at the haggard Third Hokage, then at Jiraiya whose waist was almost taken away, and smiled inexplicably.
"Ahem, Jiraiya, please exercise moderation. You are still young."
The Third Hokage thought he was in a bad enough state, but he didn't expect Jiraiya to be even worse than him.
How many women have you played with to become like this?
It was impossible to explain it clearly anyway, so Jiraiya was speechless and asked with a yawn:
"Old man, to make a long story short, I didn't sleep last night and I'm so sleepy. What do you want from us?"
"Orochimaru, did you receive the chakra metal that Danzo gave you?"
The Third Hokage asked first.
Orochimaru spread his hands and shook his head slightly.
It seems that someone's careful adjustment of supplies was discovered. No wonder the old man looks like this. It seems that there is a big fight going on.
"Chakra metal?"
Are you hiding something from me?
Jiraiya kept staring at Orochimaru, but Orochimaru had no intention of paying any attention to him.
"I have removed Xiaochun and Menyan from their positions."
The Third Hokage tried his best to control his emotions and voice and uttered these words lightly.
Give up power?
Orochi looked up in surprise. He didn't expect the Third Hokage to have such courage.
Is it because of the chakra metal thing?
It seems that Danzo has been hiding a lot of things.
This is more interesting.
For the three old guys including Danzo, power is everything to them. Without power, having only the status of a high-level official is even more painful than killing them.
"What?"
Jiraiya's reaction was much greater than Orochimaru's. He almost jumped up listlessly, leaning on the table and shouting:
“Hey, hey, hey, old man, what’s wrong with you, why did you suddenly deprive them of their power?
Although you did a good job, I want to ask, is it really appropriate to do this at this time? "
The Third Hokage shook his head:
"I don't want to do this either, but they are getting more and more outrageous. If I don't restrict them, I'm afraid my position as Hokage will become a mere formality."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
After calming down, the Third Hokage put on a serious face:
"Today, I called you here to tell you that I will not approve Chizuki Yagami's application for retirement. I also hope that you two can return to the frontline as soon as possible. The frontline needs you. Otherwise, if Tsunade leaves, Hatake Sakumo will be under a lot of pressure."
Tsunade, who receives the news, will definitely rush back as soon as possible, so the Third Hokage needs to make some arrangements in advance.
For example, let Orochimaru and Jiraiya return to the front line as soon as possible.
"I see."
Orochimaru didn't refuse and agreed.
Jiraiya pleaded with a bitter face:
"Teacher, can I rest for a few more days? I'm about to collapse..."
"no."
The Third Hokage shook his head firmly and rejected Jiraiya's request:
"I'll give you one day to rest. You two must set out tonight. This war has been going on for long enough. We can't bear it if it drags on any longer. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
"This is all for the village. I understand."
Jiraiya naturally took over the conversation and said what the Third Hokage had said.
The Third Hokage paused: "........"
Good guy even interrupts others.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go. Don't look at me like that. I can't wait to leave. Otherwise, if Tsunade comes back and you guys start fighting, I won't know who to help."
Since he is determined to go to the front line, he might as well do it. The Third Hokage will not let him stay in the village.
Even Orochimaru is going, let alone him.
With Orochimaru accompanying him, and Orochimaru unable to leave behind, Jiraiya felt balanced.
"Let's go, old man."
Waving his hands, Jiraiya felt that he needed to go back and have some sleep first, otherwise he would not be able to hold on on the journey.
My waist.
It seems that I really need to be more restrained in the future, otherwise my kidneys will not be able to stay in balance.
"Orochimaru, I don't know what terms Danzo negotiated with you. I want to tell you not to agree to any of his terms. As for Rope Tree's weapons, I will be responsible."
