I am in Konoha, I want to be Hokage

Chapter 45
After returning to Konoha, Jiraiya was still a little uneasy.

Especially when passing by Oshemaru's house occasionally, I wanted to go in and chat with Oshemaru several times.

Sarutobi Hiruza also wanted to chat with Jiraiya.

In fact, his original intention was to focus on Tsunade. With Tsunade's prestige, popularity, personality, and even his back, he couldn't be more suitable as the fourth generation.

It's just that Tsunade has experienced many changes in succession, and after all, he left the village before the war was over.

Besides Tsunade, he is more optimistic about Jiraiya.

In his opinion, the most suitable candidate for the fourth generation is Jiraiya.

As for Minato, his strength is enough, and his character is also good.

But he is too young, and it is easy to be criticized in his early twenties.

Orochimaru……

Orochimaru has become more and more incomprehensible to him over the years, and it seems that it has become what it is now without knowing it.

Uchiha Fugaku——

This is not in his consideration at all, agreeing to the participation of the Uchiha clan is just following the trend, and he does not want to cause too much conflict between the Uchiha and the village.

He has a lot of ways to suppress Uchiha again, so he doesn't care about this.

Danzo——

This doesn't work either. If Danzo is in charge, with his character, the family in the village will fall apart sooner or later.

Therefore, the candidate who can make him most satisfied is still Jiraiya.

It's just that Jiraiya's lazy temper needs to be changed.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi arranged for people in private, and called Jiraiya, who was a little out of his mind, back.

Jiraiya tidied up his messy thoughts. After entering the room, he was about to say hello to the teacher, but he turned around and immediately noticed the black-faced teacher Sarutobi Lake Biwa who was drinking tea.

For some reason, some pictures that are not suitable for the current scene suddenly popped up in Jiraiya's mind.

This made him laugh in embarrassment.

Sarutobi Biwako snorted with a dark face.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Lake Biwa turned his head: "Ask yourself what Zilai did!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little puzzled, Lake Biwa has a gentle temperament, and usually rarely gets angry.

He looked at Jiraiya suspiciously.

Jilai also pretended to cough: "Teacher, you know, I need to keep collecting materials to maintain my creative inspiration—"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately interrupted with a blushing face: "I, what do I know! I'm already old, I've never seen your messy stuff.

Lake Biwa, you have to meet——

Wait, Jiraiya, what do you mean by that? "

He suddenly came back to his senses in the middle of talking, how could it have anything to do with your material and your teacher's wife being angry!

Jiraiya awkwardly avoided Sarutobi's scrutinizing eyes.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi blushed on the spot, but he was embarrassed before, but now he was angry: "Jiraiya!"

His voice suddenly rose a lot, bastard, did you draw the material from Lake Biwa? !
Jilai also had to change the subject before Sarutobi-sensei got angry: "Santobi-sensei, I just came back from Mount Miaomu, and the Great Toad Immortal told me a very bad prophecy!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was temporarily attracted by this sentence, he put down his pipe: "What?"

Jilai also took a deep breath: "The Great Toad Immortal told me that Konoha will be destroyed in the near future!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression became serious immediately, he temporarily forgot about Lake Biwa, and looked at Jiraiya seriously.

When Jiraiya said this, his face was a bit obscure, he hesitated and said: "It told me that after many years, Konoha was submerged in the flames of war, and Hokage died in battle!
And Konoha was destroyed by the hands of two people, one of whom had eyes like a poisonous snake. "

Bang!
Hiruzaru Sarutobi stood up abruptly, knocking the chair under him to the ground.

Ji Lai also immediately comforted him: "Teacher, don't be nervous, I don't think Da Toad Immortal is talking about Da She Wan!

How could Orochimaru take action against Konoha? He is now the fourth-generation candidate with the highest number of votes. I believe in Orochimaru. "

Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised the seat, sat down again, and took a puff of cigarette: "No, it might be true if it's him."

What Sarutobi Hiruza said made Jiraiya somewhat disagree.

It's impossible to say what it means to be him. How could Orochimaru attack Konoha? It's impossible!
Why did Mr. Sarutobi question Orochimaru?

Ji Lai also laughed and laughed: "How come, Sarutobi-sensei, Oshemaru is definitely not that kind of person, I don't know him yet, he is a guy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi knocked on the pipe: "Jiraiya, how long has it been since you talked to Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya also fell silent. Since World War Three, no, it should be said that since World War II, Orochimaru has seldom participated in the dinner parties between the teams.

During World War Three, everyone was even more busy.

And Orochimaru has a reclusive character, and it is true that they haven't had a good chat for a long time.

At the same time, as we grow older, it is no longer the time to speak freely as a child.

But even so, Jiraiya didn't believe that Orochimaru would be the one who destroyed Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "I arranged for Orochimaru to follow Danzo, maybe it was a wrong decision.

Over the years, the two of them have done many things that crossed the line behind my back. "

Ji Lai also wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, because he had heard it too, but he had never seen it, so he never believed it.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed: "That fairy's prophecy has never been wrong, right?"

Ji Lai also nodded with difficulty and bitterness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Since this is the case, no matter whether the person who destroys Konoha in the future is Orochimaru, the position of the fourth generation target cannot be given to him.

Jiraiya, you have to earnestly fight for it. "

Ji Lai also immediately shook his head: "Ah, no, no, I can't do it.

Teacher Sarutobi, you know me, I am used to being free and undisciplined, I can't stay in the same place, I'm not that material at all. "

"Don't underestimate yourself."

"I can't, I really can't do it, let me be Hokage, it's better to kill me."

"..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya who still refused to bow his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and was extremely annoyed immediately!
Jiraiya said, "Teacher, in fact, Minato is more suitable for Hokage than me."

"Watergate?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was thoughtful: "His age is easily underestimated by the daimyo, he is too young.

And Minato-"

Minato is relatively close to Ikacho's generation, and there is a generation away from him, so the relationship is not as good as imagined.

The most important thing is that Minato's philosophy somewhat conflicts with his. Although the starting point is for Konoha, the specific policy is somewhat different.

He is not worried about Minato's lack of strength, but lack of experience, and he is worried that Minato will not be able to grasp many aspects.

Jiraiya said seriously: "Sensei Sarutobi, please trust Minato, he is more suitable than me to take the position of Hokage."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of cigarette, nodded after being silent for a while: "I see."
