Chapter 302



As a member of the most powerful ninja armed group in the mainland, Jiraiya knew very well what kind of creatures ninjas were.

Ninjas pursue greater strength and will stop at nothing to become stronger. As long as they can improve their strength and kill the enemy, they will do whatever it takes.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Six Paths Sage, the master of the Ninja Clan a thousand years ago, used the word "Ninja" as the name of the ninja.

A ninja is someone who can endure pain and must never act recklessly.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya said loudly: "Just because the other party has a strong bloodline, do we have to start a war to seize it? The first Hokage established Konoha Village to protect our descendants from war, not for us to start a war!"

Jiraiya's voice was loud and firm. Some ninjas immediately felt ashamed after hearing it, thinking that they should not be greedy. However, some old and strong ninjas like the Third Hokage had their own ideas and would not be affected by Jiraiya's words.

"Jiraiya, you are going too far."

Orochimaru smiled and spoke, his narrow eyes swept around the senior executives in the office. As someone who had some cooperation with the Root Ninja, he knew the brain circuits of the Konoha senior executives better than Jiraiya. He said slowly: "Tsunade is indeed eager to get the Samsara Eye, but she is also a descendant of the first generation, and she knows the first generation's ideas better than you, otherwise why did she tell you this?"

The Third Hokage coughed and said, "Okay, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, stop arguing. We have to trust Tsuna."

He looked at Tsunayuki and said in a more serious tone, "Tsunayuki, rather than the matter of the Rain Country, can you first tell us about the Wisteria Fairy? After all, the sky above the village is still covered with a canopy of wisteria flowers, which is more important."

After hearing this, everyone showed expressions of approval and looked at Gangshou.

Tsuna looked at Jiraiya meaningfully and said slowly, "Orochimaru and I have met the Purple Toad Sage. First of all, I want to make it clear that as the village's Kage, I have the responsibility to protect the village and everyone. I will not ignore the safety of Konoha and make requests that may endanger the village. Please rest assured."

After Gangshou's statement, many people looked better.

"The Purple Vine Immortal told me the method of resurrection."

Tsunade generously announced the information about the Rinnegan, "As long as you have the Rinnegan, you can revive the dead."

Jiraiya showed an anxious look on his face, and just as he was about to speak, Tsuna raised his hand to stop him.

"Jiraiya, I understand what you mean. I don't want to launch an operation against the Rain Country, but please take a look at this information first."

Tsuna motioned Orochimaru to give Jiraiya a piece of information.

Orochimaru smiled and handed over the cause and effect of the Root's action plan against the Rain Country to Jiraiya. He also said: "Danzo's Root has already taken action in the Rain Country in advance. External actions have always been the responsibility of the Root. Even the Tsunayoshi has no right to interfere. It was not until afterwards that they noticed something wrong."

"The actions of the Konoha Root led to the death of your student Yahiko. I'm sure that Nagato and Konan who stayed behind also hate Konoha very much."

Orochimaru admired Jiraiya's pale face and said slowly: "Tsunade hopes that you will go to the Land of Rain in person and bring Nagato and Konan back to Konoha. If you fail, Konoha will have to act secretly."

"That's the Rinnegan. If we allow ninjas with the Rinnegan to grow up, perhaps in the future the Rain Country will turn to the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind and become Konoha's enemy."

At this point, Orochimaru suddenly looked at Danzo who had been silent, full of malice: "Speaking of which, the Root should have known about the Samsara Eye a long time ago, but I'm afraid that Danzo-sama saw the Samsara Eye as his own, which is why he acted in secret. It's a pity that even if a ninja with the Samsara Eye is not the Sage of Six Paths, the Root Ninja cannot deal with it."

Danzo snorted and slammed his cane.

"The Land of Rain is located at the junction of three countries. In order to prepare for the next Ninja World War, Konoha must cultivate a pro-Konoha force there. The newly emerged Akatsuki organization actually wants to be on an equal footing with the five major countries, just relying on the Land of Rain? Are they worthy?"

However, Hanzo of the Salamander has always had a good cooperative relationship with Konoha, so after Danzo got the intelligence of the Rain Country, he naturally chose to join forces with Hanzo of the Salamander to clean up the newly emerging Akatsuki organization.

"Jiraiya, you actually taught ninjas from other countries in the Land of Rain. Those three ninjas also destroyed Konoha's overseas layout. The village did not pursue your treasonous behavior, which is very kind! I am here to clean up the mess for you!"

Danzo said this but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Perhaps Jiraiya could not accept this approach, but Danzo believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen would understand, and what he wanted was Sarutobi Hiruzen's guilt and compensation.

"As for the Samsara Eye... Although I got the information of the three little devils, I didn't know that kind of eye was called the Samsara Eye at that time. Later, the Root Ninjas I sent died, so naturally I don't know what happened next."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, indicating that he owed Danzo a favor and was willing to take responsibility for the matter.

He advised Jiraiya helplessly: "Jiraiya, things in the village are not as simple as you think."

Jiraiya shut his mouth in frustration, and the fingers that were holding the data turned white from being too tight.

The Third Hokage looked at Tsunayuki again: "I believe Jiraiya can handle the matter of the Rain Country. He will go to see his former disciples. Now it's the village's problem..."

"Don't worry." Tsuna sighed, "Senren Shido didn't tell me the method for no reason. He said that the Fujisen Cult has developed well in Konoha and is qualified as a price for exchange, as long as Konoha does not take over the Fujisen Cult in the future."

Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, Tsunade has reached the exchange conditions, and Shido Sage has provided the method. Moreover, obtaining the Samsara Eye is only the first step. How to use the technique and how to resurrect still need Shido Sage's guidance."

After a pause, the young man's expression was a little subtle, "In fact, the Purple Vine Immortal also gave a second method."

Danzo said in a lost voice: "The second method? There is more than one way to revive?"

"Yes, he is a sage after all." Orochimaru shrugged, "But the cost of the second method is too high, Tsuna can't afford it."

The Third Hokage quickly asked, "What's the price?"

"... to develop Fujisen in three ninja villages, and to get two more ninja villages to recognize and promote Fujisen in addition to Konoha." Tsunade smiled bitterly, "If we really want to achieve that... the only way is to take the initiative to provoke a war and win, right?"

The Third Hokage was silent. Indeed, in comparison, it seemed that going to the Rain Country to look for Nagato who possessed the Rinnegan was the simplest and least costly method.

"As for the wisteria flower, it is a part of the body of the Wisteria Sage. The fragrance and life force emitted by the wisteria flower can help the ninja recover quickly and heal the hidden injuries in the body. Anyone can talk to the wisteria flower, and if the Wisteria Sage is in a good mood, he may give power to them."

Tsuna added: "Of course, the village defense will become very troublesome, but fortunately he now regards Konoha Village as a place of faith. As long as we do not actively attack Shido Sage and do not harm Shido Sage's followers without reason, Shido Sage will be on our side."

Danzo objected: "But our every move will be under his surveillance."

Tsuna suddenly smiled: "I am planning to report this to the Lord of Fire Country. Maybe in a few days the Lord will send an envoy to ask the Immortal to stay in Kyoto for a while."

Everyone smiled when they heard this, which means that the Wisteria Fairy will not stay in the village for too long?

Tsuna: "But maybe the Land of Fire will become the Land of Vine."

Everyone's smiles froze in an instant. Oh, this!

Tsuna: "The Leaf Village and the forehead protection symbol remain the same as always and will not change."

Everyone's stiff expressions finally relaxed. Okay, as long as the village remains unchanged, it's fine.

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and said, "Master Tsunade, can you please finish what you are saying at once?"

Tsuna winked and smiled slyly.

Ever since she became Hokage, her once cheerful smile has almost disappeared. Now, after years of persistence, she has finally seen the light of hope, and she feels much more relieved.

"That's about it."

Tsunayoshi said sternly: "Take good care of the villagers and do a good job of explaining and promoting the relevant issues. In the meantime, Jiraiya, the Rain Country needs you to go there."

Jiraiya said gloomily, "Okay, but Uncle Danzo, give me all the operational data related to the Root."

Danzo curled his lips, not very happy, but he rolled his eyes and said cunningly: "Come to the root later."

He planned to place a Root Ninja next to Jiraiya so that he could obtain first-hand information.

The crowd dispersed one after another, and Tsuna called out to Minato Namikaze who was about to leave.

"Minato, stay for a moment, regarding the situation of the Jonin squad..."

With a click, the office door closed and the subsequent conversation disappeared.

The Third Hokage withdrew his gaze. He thought that this was a good opportunity to withdraw the Anbu team that was following Uzumaki Kushina and her son, so he did not investigate further and walked to Danzo's side: "I will also go to the Root to check the information."

At the same time, in the Hokage's office, Tsuna whispered, "Minato, you take Jiraiya with you and follow him to the Land of Rain. Don't let him find you."

Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly: "Master Tsunade, I don't think Master Jiraiya will show mercy or even let him go. He won't betray Konoha..."

Tsuna was at a loss for words: "What are you talking about? Of course I believe Jiraiya. I'm just worried that something might happen to him."

Her face was a little gloomy. "After all, those are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths."

After a moment's silence, Tsuna said, "You may have heard rumors that some ninja clans are descendants of the Six Paths Sage, but I can tell you accurately that this is a fact, such as the Senju and Uchiha clans."

Namikaze Minato frowned slightly: "You mean..."

"According to the intelligence, the kid named Nagato is a whirlpool."

Tsuna's expression was a little complicated. "Uzumaki is good at sealing techniques, plus the Six Paths Sage's Samsara Eye... that brat probably hates Konoha very much. I'm worried that Jiraiya will get into trouble because of his soft heart. If everything goes well, then it's nothing. If Jiraiya is careless and gets attacked, you must bring Jiraiya out at the critical moment."

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato felt relieved: "Yes, I understand, leave it to me."

After Namikaze Minato left, Tsuna looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru licked his lips subconsciously and became excited: "Will I follow you?"

The master said unhappily, "Even if I didn't tell you, you would have followed me!"

She was silent for a long time. "Go ahead and act accordingly."

The room fell silent.

Tsuna stood up, she leaned against her desk and looked up at the Hokage photo frames hanging above, especially the portraits of the first and second generation Hokage.

"Grandpa, Second Grandpa..."

——"The reincarnation technique has certain conditions for its performance. Both the body and the soul are necessary. Therefore, in theory, the reincarnation technique can only revive people who have just died and whose souls are fixed in the world."

——"But Senju Tobirama developed the Earth Reincarnation Technique, which can summon back the souls of people who have died long ago. This means that as long as you cultivate a suitable body, anyone can be resurrected."

——"Tsuna, you want to resurrect your brother and your lover. Do you really only want to resurrect them?"

——"Will you really not be so greedy that you want everyone to be resurrected in the future?"

——"Can you control all the ninjas in Konoha Village who may be tempted to live forever?"

——"Master, I am waiting to see your choice."

With Shido's words echoing in her ears, Tsuna looked at the First and Second Hokage who were smiling at her, and subconsciously clenched the Wood Release Crystal Pendant in front of her chest.

Is her choice really the right one?

"Huh?" In the Ganligan dessert shop in Konoha Village, Oberon, who was eating taro balls and black rice soup with Izawa Shan, was a little surprised.

"The dream illusion has been weakened. Is she going to start facing reality?"
