Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 150

Perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen's death made Konoha Maru understand that the other party cannot protect him forever, even if the other party is the Third Hokage, although from now on some people will remember the Third Hokage, and some will remember that Konoha Maru is the third Hokage's grandson, but It is absolutely impossible for Konoha's ninjas to indulge Konoha Maru as before.

The elder Yu Ze always has a day of exhaustion, Konoha Maru suddenly wakes up, but finds that he has not made any friends with Jonin or special Jnin during Hiruzaru Sarutobi's life, even if he was acquainted. nothing.

This can't help but make Konoha Maru hate the original self in his heart.

Sarutobi Asma, as Konoha Maru's uncle, will of course teach him earnestly and unreservedly, and Huibis' love for him is unquestionable, but at the same time, Konoha Maru, who has experienced the death of a close relative, has gradually Mature, began to sort out and recognize the network of relationships around him, and use this to seek every opportunity to make himself stronger.

Nara Shikamaru, who rose to fame in Konoha Village and had a hidden mentor-student relationship with Sarutobi Asma, was also taken into the eyes of Konoha Maru at this time, even compared to Sarutobi Asma and Huibis, Shikamaru, who is similar in age to Konohamaru, can make the opponent feel the gap even more.

But looking at the child in front of him who tried hard to stop his sobbing but always failed, Shikamaru found that whether he looked at Asma Sarutobi who helped him a lot, or this helpless and thin figure, he felt that he couldn't help himself. Can't say no.

"it is good!"

…………

Zhuanju Koharu and Mito Menyan found Jiraiya on the top floor of a building not far from Konoha Onsen.

Although Jiraiya always makes himself appear absurd, it can be judged from some actions that his nature is not like this.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sacrificed himself, and Konoha Village had just experienced a big battle and seemed to be weak. Jiraiya also understood this, and did not leave Konoha Village, but temporarily took root in Konoha Village. It is announced to the outside world that there is a ninja with super strength sitting in Konoha Village, and at the same time, he also acts as the backbone for the wandering people in the village.

"You're still the same, Ziraiya," Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said dissatisfiedly when he saw Zilaiya holding up the binoculars, "you're always doing such boring things."

"Don't say that, I'm also doing this to collect materials!" Ji Lai also put the telescope in his arms, defending his actions.

However, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun and Mito Menyan obviously didn't follow Ziraiya's way, and they still looked at him expressionlessly.

"So it's Uncle Menyan and Teacher Xiaochun!" Zilai also turned around with a smirk, looked at the two and asked, "Is there anything you two can do with me?"

"What are you talking about? You should already understand!" Mito Menyan frowned at Jiraiya and said, "Although Sand Hidden Village has announced its unconditional surrender, this cannot directly compensate for the loss of Konoha Village."

"The strength of Muye Village has become very low now. In this case, we must assume that we may encounter a more terrifying crisis and make adequate preparations." Zhuanji Xiaochun said: "In this situation At that time, every neighboring country may take bold actions, even provoking the Nation of Fire and even Konoha, at that time we Konoha must be tough and not be underestimated."

"Listen to Jiraiya," Mitomonyan looked at Jiraiya seriously, and said, "Konoha Village urgently needs a leader who is strong enough and worthy of everyone's trust, that is, the Fifth Hokage! "

"And in the emergency meeting held yesterday with the Fire Nation Daimyo, the two of us have already proposed that you be in charge, and the Fire Nation Daimyo also agreed to this proposal." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said.

"Sorry!" Zilai also didn't look happy when he heard the words of Xiaochun who turned to sleep. Instead, he waved his hand seriously and refused, "I'm not suitable for this position."

"Jiraiya!" Turning to bed Xiaoharu's voice turned sharp when he heard the words, frowned, stared at Jiraiya and said: "This is something that your teacher Hiruzaru Sarutobi seriously explained to the two of us before his death, and it has already After discussing with the fire country daimyo, it is a matter that has been decided, and you cannot refuse!"

"No," Jiraiya rubbed his neck, which was a little sore from peeping before, with a wry smile, and explained to Junan Xiaoharu and Mitomenyan: "My personality is really not suitable for Hokage, but I have better skills." candidates."

"You must have read Yamato's report!" Jiraiya said to the two of them: "Since we need to arrange manpower to find and protect her, why not just use this to bring her back to Konoha."

"Speaking of which, as the granddaughter of the first Hokage and one of the 'Three Ninjas', Tsunade, who used excellent medical ninjutsu to treat countless Konoha ninjas during the war, is actually more suitable than me to be Hokage!" He also smiled and said, after thinking about it, he added: "And she is much smarter than me!"

Koharu and Mitomonyan looked at each other, and Mitomonyan said hesitantly: "Tsunade does have the ability to serve as Hokage, but now no one knows where she is, so we need to find her." I don't know how long it will take, but Konoha urgently needs the Fifth Hokage to sit in charge now."

"Don't worry!" Jiraiya put his hands on his hips, and confidently said to the two, "I will find Tsunade myself, and then bring her back to Konoha Village!"

"In that case, we'll send two Junin to go with you!" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said aloud after hesitating for a moment.

"With the current manpower in the village, it's a bit tight to send two jounin!" Ji Lai also chuckled lightly after hearing this, and said to the two of them, "If you want to send people to watch me, then there's no need for it. I am also aware of Ye Village's current situation, and I will not run away."

"I have already found out the sealing technique that Sarutobi-sensei used on Orochimaru. It is a super forbidden technique that Minato used to seal Kyuubi. Orochimaru is seriously injured now. I must ask Tsunade for help." Jiraiya He continued: "He is aware of Tsunade's weakness, and with Orochimaru's character, it is impossible to lead many of his men to look for it with great fanfare."

Not to mention the loss of Yin Ninja Village in the Battle of Konoha Invasion, and the indispensable resident manpower in order to maintain the operation of a Ninja Village, it is Oshemaru's own character, and he would not like to expose his weak self to his subordinates. Jilai, who grew up and fought with him, is also very sure of this.

"So you don't need to send too many people with me," Jiraiya said after thinking for a while, "Just send a few ninjas to help me find Tsunade!"

…………

"Sanju Koharu and Mito Monyan are going to ask Jiraiya to go find Tsunade!?" Shimura Danzo muttered to himself.

As elders together, it is difficult to hide from Shimura Danzo what moves Koharu and Mitomonyan have taken, especially when it may involve personnel transfers. Specific news.

Shimura Danzo came back to his senses, and looked at his subordinate half kneeling on the ground in front of him.

This is a pale-skinned teenager with short ear-length hair and a handsome face. He is wearing a pure black crop top and trousers of the same color. Ye Hu's forehead was carefully bound, with a cold expression on his face.

"This time, Mitomonyan was going to lead the team with the shinin Nara Shikamaru who performed well in the Chunin exam, but your ninjutsu has many functions, and the detection is not a shortcoming, and you are still a Chunin. I will recommend you Join the team and lead other ninjas." Shimura Danzo looked thoughtfully at the boy half kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "You already understand the mission, from today onwards, you will be called '鶗鴃', understand !"

"Understood!" The boy half kneeling on the ground nodded and answered.

'鶗鴃' is another name for cuckoo birds. It is said that they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, and are generally born earlier than other birds. As soon as they are born, they push other birds' eggs out of the nest , and was raised by adoptive parents, this cold-faced boy thought about the plan Shimura Danzo had ordered him, and felt that the name seemed very appropriate!
