The matter Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were discussing was the list of applicants for the Impure World Reincarnation.
Currently, the demand for Amegakure Impure World Reincarnation services in the entire Shinobi World is based on relationships of kinship and friendship.
Even if it was for Mei Terumi and Mizukage Reanimation Hozuki Gengetsu, it was all for the sake of Kirigakure where they lived.
Jiraiya didn't care about developing the ninja village; Jiraiya cared about was peace in the Shinobi World.
Just like the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's evaluation of Kashin Koji, Jiraiya's fate seemed to be set for this.
Therefore, Jiraiya was not interested in the development of Konoha.
Even in the worst conditions in Konoha, no one will starve to death.
The key issue is the survival of the Shinobi World.
If the Ōtsutsuki were to descend, even the aftershocks of the battle could cause massive casualties.
Putting aside other things, both Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi have personally experienced the power of the Otsutsuki Clan.
It might even be Ōtsutsuki that has been weakened countless times.
A Momoshiki residing inside Boruto's body easily defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi, treating him like a roadside stray.
Shimura Danzō half his life plotting conspiracies and assassinations, but Momoshiki only needed to use his strength to send bricks flying to complete the task.
Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was instantly killed in a sneak attack, Jiraiya had a longer period of contact with him.
He Omnipotence feel the oppressive feeling Boruto gave from behind in Momoshiki.
Even that looked-down-upon fisherman, Urashiki, could be defeated in one move.
Urashiki's problem isn't a lack of skill, but rather a problem with their mentality.
They had absolutely no fighting spirit.
In short, both of them had experienced the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the Otsutsuki Clan.
The Urashiki and Momoshiki who died were from the future; that is to say, the Urashiki and Momoshiki of their world are still on their way.
Besides these two, there is also an Ōtsutsuki hidden in the Shinobi World.
In order to combat these threats, the Akatsuki Organization and Orochimaru continuously researched and developed new technologies.
They can't just sit idly by.
We need to think of suitable candidates who can stand against the Ōtsutsuki.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi still planned to use contribution points to exchange for it, rather than using the Impure World Reincarnation for free in the name of the Shinobi World.
Firstly, he didn't want to owe Orochimaru a favor.
Secondly, if the Impure World Reincarnation individuals are summoned for free in the name of Guardian Shinobi world, then staying in Amegakure to help, like the First Hokage, the Second Hokage Kushina, and Rin, would be the best option.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention was indeed to Guardian Shinobi world.
But isn't Konoha also part of the Shinobi World?
He wanted the Impure World Reincarnation individuals to prioritize protecting Konoha, and then contribute their strength if problems arose elsewhere or if a collective battle was needed.
Therefore, he has to spend contribution points.
Free things are often the most expensive, and Hiruzen Sarutobi understood this.
And now their first target, without a doubt, is Minato Namikaze.
" Minato won't work."
Jiraiya thought about it for a moment and then rejected Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.
"Why? Didn't you say that no one is as good as Minato? And I've seen Minato's excellence for myself. If he hadn't died young..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression.
Jiraiya, as Minato's teacher, actually rejected Minato?
"Old man, I certainly understand Minato's excellence, but you've forgotten that the best way to fight the Otsutsuki Clan is with Senjutsu or Taijutsu."
Jiraiya sighed.
" Minato's Taijutsu are not outstanding enough, and his Senjutsu Mode is too short-lived to launch multiple attacks."
What's needed to defeat the Otsutsuki Clan isn't speed, nor is it simply about inflicting damage.
The Otsutsuki Clan are all tough and resilient, requiring high-damage Taijutsu or Senjutsu techniques.
"... Minato's Senjutsu isn't very proficient, but that's just because he's too young. Give him some time, and he'll master it. Besides, there's Naruto's special shortcut, isn't there?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and then spoke.
"..."
Jiraiya's expression was strange. "Old man, have you forgotten again? Even if you install the Sensing Formula on the Impure World Reincarnation, it still won't be able to enter 'Sage Mode'."
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shut his mouth.
He almost forgot.
He had specifically asked about this.
Impure World Reincarnation body is equipped with a sensory Formula and undergoes the "entering Sage Mode process," it will remain in the "entering Sage Mode process" stage indefinitely and will never truly reach that state.
"Even if it were possible, do you think Minato, given his personality, would really be so shameless as to use such a method?"
Jiraiya added a sentence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has completely given up.
That's true.
Naruto and Jiraiya can use it without restraint because that's who they are.
But for a respectable person like Minato, even if he were forced to use it, let alone whether he would use it or not, Hiruzen Sarutobi Minato n't be willing to do so.
The reputation of Konoha will inevitably be tarnished by Naruto and Jiraiya, but at least there will be a moral exemplar, Minato, hanging on the wall.
We can't let this moral exemplar be lost.
"Well."
"Well."
In the dim, misty environment, the two sleazy old men let out a long sigh.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the two of them thought of something else.
"Old man, do you think the same way I do?"
"No, I didn't think of anything, my foot just felt a little itchy."
Hiruzen Sarutobi vehemently denied it.
Because he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too perverse and did not fit his image as a highly respected person.
"Tch, just keep pretending. If you won't say anything, I will."
Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with disdain and continued,
"We just mentioned Naruto's special shortcut. Since that's the case, we can easily let other promising individuals use this shortcut to complete their Sage Mode training!"
" Orochimaru is said to be modifying genes, trying to create an artificial human who can activate the Perfect Sage Mode."
His method may not succeed, and even if it does, it may not be mass-producible, and it will definitely take a lot of time.
Naruto's method, though primitive, is really practical and quick. Try it and you'll see if it works.
Jiraiya became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Well said, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll think of the list of those to Impure World Reincarnation, and we'll discuss it again when I've decided."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Jiraiya on the shoulder.
"Okay! I'll take care of it!"
Jiraiya nodded vigorously, pushed open the sliding door, and walked out.
Just as he stepped out of the hot spring inn, the sunlight brought Jiraiya back to his senses, Jiraiya the smile on his face froze.
wrong!
Nine out of ten points are incorrect!
What is he going to do now?
Go promote Naruto's special shortcut Sage Mode.
So, who should we go to?
Of course, it's the current Tsunade of Konoha, Hokage Tsunade.
"..."
Jiraiya retreated without hesitation.
If he goes to Tsunade to propose this plan, will he really be able to leave the office alive?
We must find another way.
