Like most people, Jiraiya didn't sleep all night last night.
For most Konoha people, the biggest problem yesterday was that a Hokage died.
But for Jiraiya, it was not just Hokage who died, but also teachers, elders, and relatives.
However, the most painful thing about this incident for Jiraiya is that in the entire Konoha, except for Jiraiya, no one seems to care about the death of Hokage.
Hokage was supposed to be the most powerful and respected being in the Ninja Village. But I don't know when Third Hokage lost that aura.
He has become different from before. Under his connivance, Konoha made too many mistakes. And all these mistakes eventually led to today's situation.
Jiraiya For the first time, he began to regret that he had left the village for too long.
There were footsteps coming from behind. Jiraiya didn't have to look back, but he could tell it was Aoba Kamikawa.
"Are you so impatient to prepare to liquidate the Hokage lineage?"
Jiraiya said with a hint of sarcasm. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Aoba Kamikawa did. But emotionally speaking, this person is considered one of the murderers of the teacher. Jiraiya naturally does not have a good attitude.
Aoba also doesn't care about Jiraiya's attitude.
The quality of a person is very complicated. Especially people like the third generation who have two faces. For people like Aoba Kamikawa, Kakashi, Uchiha, the third generation is worthy of death.
But to Jiraiya, to the Sarutobi Clan. He is a good person, a good Hokage.
It's a pity that I don't know when they started to become a minority.
"I came here because I have a task that Lord Jiraiya needs to complete. It's a task that only you can complete."
"Haha, I don't know what identity you are using to talk to me now, Hokage?"
"No, not now. But if I can't complete this task, maybe it will be."
"..."
Jiraiya was silent for a while, and then spoke.
"You want me to go find Tsunade and come back to be Hokage?"
"That's right. But it's not just that. You also saw the previous battle between Hokage and Orochimaru. Although Orochimaru escaped, he was seriously injured. If nothing else, he should go to Tsunade for treatment."
"Tsunade can't possibly treat him. He just killed Tsunade's teacher. How is it possible..."
Jiraiya did not believe that Tsunade would treat Orochimaru who killed Hiruzen Sarutobi. But Aoba knew that Orochimaru had too many cards in his hand.
"Haha, we can discuss this issue a little bit. First of all, as Tsunade is Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, what did she inherit from Hiruzen Sarutobi?"
Aoba did not directly tell Impure World Reincarnation the reason. Instead, he asked Jiraiya from an angle that Jiraiya did not expect.
This made Jiraiya unable to catch it for a while.
"She..."
After thinking about it carefully, Jiraiya realized that this question actually made him unable to speak. Because none of Tsunade's ability to become famous came from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He is different from Jiraiya, although they both have their own systems now.
But in fact, both of them have all five attributes. When they became famous in their early years, they relied on Five Element Ninjutsu to conquer the world. Even now, Jiraiya and Orochimaru's Five Element Ninjutsu are top-notch.
These are naturally the inheritance of Hiruzen Sarutobi. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi is famous for Five Element Ninjutsu. Five Style Great Combo was also the one who dominated Shinobi World back then.
But Tsunade... When Tsunade became famous, he was Medical Ninjutsu, the same as Wei Li. And Hiruzen Sarutobi can neither...
Jiraiya vaguely guessed what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to say. But he was unwilling to reveal the matter.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that I taught Sasuke Uchiha Lightning Release and swordsmanship because he has the lightning attribute like me and has good talent, so he can inherit my Lightning Release.
I taught Naruto Rasengan because... this is his ninjutsu. He uses Shadow Clone to fight with him every day because he is the kind of ninja who needs to grow in actual combat.
I accepted Sakura as my disciple because, like me, she is rich in theory and has excellent chakra control, so she can inherit my research work.
You see, the bond between master and disciple essentially has a straightforward reason, inheritance. What does Hiruzen Sarutobi want Tsunade to inherit from him? You know, whether it is fighting style or governing philosophy, they have no similarities at all."
"..." Jiraiya found that he didn't want to talk to Aoba Kamikawa anymore. Because this guy always let him break his defense with just a few words, and he couldn't refute.
The meaning of Aoba is already very clear. Hiruzen Sarutobi has ulterior motives for accepting Tsunade as his disciple. Jiraiya doesn't want to admit it. Or he doesn't want to blaspheme the dead teacher. But he can't refute Aoba's words.
The most important thing is that Tsunade's attitude towards Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to be able to explain something. Jiraiya doesn't even dare to continue thinking about it because he feels that he can't accept the answer.
In fact, Aoba is not sure whether his guess is correct. But it doesn't matter, Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead anyway. Now he only needs to fool Jiraiya.
"You know what? If it were me, I might actually do the same thing as Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Senju Clan, as the founder of Konoha, and Tsunade, as the princess of the Senju Clan, naturally have an unparalleled special status. This status is not even weaker than Hokage.
Even because Senju Clan has been disbanded, Tsunade's status becomes even more special. After all, she is the last Senju on the surface.
Therefore, except for Tsunade, no matter who takes the position of Hokage, they will inevitably face a problem. That is, there is another person in the village whose reputation and status are not weaker than his own. This is absolutely unacceptable for a person in power.
Fortunately, this problem is not unsolvable. The simplest way is to kill Tsunade. But no one with a certain bottom line will do this.
So we can use another method, just make her a generation shorter."
According to the original plot, when First was in power, Tsunade had already gambled with him. After First died, the second generation reigned for at least eight to ten years. Therefore, when the second generation died, Tsunade should have been about fifteen years old.
(There was a huge bug during this period, that is, according to some memories, Tsunade became a disciple of the third generation when he was four or five years old. But in fact, according to the above timeline, Tsunade should have been at least fourteen or fifteen years old before Tobirama died.
This calculation is obviously unreasonable. Because as long as Tobirama does not die, Sarutobi will not be a disciple. Theoretically, it is impossible to accept a disciple. And according to Tobirama's character and talent, it is impossible to let Senju Clan's little princess become his disciple's disciple.
According to the philosophy of the Eastern sect, Tsunade should be the junior junior sister of the third generation. But there is no way, Hokage has too many bugs. It is impossible to see if you look closely. However, this is also beneficial, giving the author more writing space.).
