I am a Celestial Dragon!

At the edge of the forest, after listening to a series of stories from Jiraiya.

The Third Hokage gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

“I really didn’t expect that what he once said was not a whitewash or a joke!

I thought he was just a strong man who had quietly risen in this era and didn't want to reveal his identity.

It turned out that he was really who he said he was, with traces of his... name from a thousand years ago! ! ! "

This famous identity really made the third generation a little embarrassed.

After all, the world of Naruto is still based on a world with a Japanese background, and for Xiaozhi, the position of daimyo is really too sacred.

Although most ninja villages only regard the daimyo of their respective countries as urinals for withdrawing money, they use them when they need to pee and throw them away after peeing.

But no matter what, they still respect the identity of the daimyo from the bottom of their hearts.

so…….

The third generation was a little confused.

Are you planning to send a big name to the position of Hokage?

And Gawain agreed? ? ?

How could this be agreed? In name, isn't this adjusting a senior official to the position of mayor?

etc!

Suddenly, Hiruzen became excited.

Something suddenly occurred to him!

As a daimyo from a thousand years ago, it is impossible for the current Fire Nation to recognize Gawain.

And after Gawain gets the position of Hokage, his ambition will never stop at Ninja Village.

Therefore, if you let Gawain be the fifth Hokage, then under the leadership of Gawain, Konoha Village may be able to control the power of the Fire Country!

At the same time, what you do is also a way of respecting your ancestors.

And Gawain has the name and tools to control the Fire Nation.

In this case…….

"Ha ha!!!"

Hiruzen laughed loudly three times, and then clapped his hands fiercely.

"I understand, Jiraiya, don't worry!"

He patted Jiraiya on the shoulder.

Seeing the teacher raise his thin old hand, Jiraiya bent down sadly and asked the teacher to put his hand on his shoulder.

While tapping twice, Hiruzen continued.

"Prior to this, the Great Toad Sage of Miaomu Mountain did not leave any prophecy about the return of ancestor Gawain to the ninja world.

Obviously, the power of ancestor Gawain has exceeded the limit that the Great Toad Immortal could predict, and he is a strong man who has the ability to surpass destiny.

He is even the most orthodox monarch of our Country of Fire. He is an ancient name known as the Dragon King, and he has achieved great success in nearly unifying the world!

Such an ancestor, I decided... to hand the position of Hokage into his hands in the future!

Jiraiya, you were originally... or you were always my best choice, but now I... have made my decision.

You have been too deeply constrained by the words of the Son of Destiny, and now, it is obvious that the ancestor who can transcend destiny is more suitable than the disciple of the Son of Destiny that you are destined to be.

Of course, it now appears that the Big Toad Immortal’s prediction was not wrong.

Your disciple, Minato, is indeed worthy of being called the Child of Destiny.

Not only is he talented in Ninjutsu, but more importantly, his son is actually the reincarnation of Asura in this generation!

Without the confirmation from Gawain's ancestor, I would never have imagined that Naruto would be the reincarnation of Asura like Hashirama-sama, and Naruto's strength is destined to reach the level of Hashirama-sama.

And you.

Don't forget, Jiraiya, before that, it was the day Naruto graduated from the ninja school.

You wrote to me and planned to return to the village to take Naruto as your disciple.

In other words, you kid is actually the teacher of Destiny Child, and it seems that every disciple of you is a part of Destiny Child!

It's just that compared to Destiny's Child, I prefer to place my hope on destiny itself.

Since there is an ancestor like Grandpa Destiny in front of me, why should I choose Grandson Destiny?

What's more, we are powerless to resist Gawain. Since we are powerless, we might as well go with the flow.

As for the most important reason…. "

Having said this, Hiruzen sighed leisurely.

Opposite him, Jiraiya guessed something, so he lowered his head silently.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen continued.

"As for the most important reason, I am old, Jiraiya.

I...can't wait any longer.

You should know my ideals, Jiraiya. I don't want to die in bed. I should die on the battlefield like other Hokages, even if I am attacked by a sneak attack.

But now that I am old, I am afraid that my strength is no longer as good as yours. "

"How could that happen, haha!"

Like a child being urged to get married, Jiraiya rubbed his hair and laughed.

"The last time we sparred, I turned on the immortal mode, but the result was still not as good as the teacher.

In that sparring session, I couldn't even get past ten moves in your hands. How could you be so old, haha~. "

“But the last time we sparred, it was sixteen years ago, and Minato wasn’t even dead yet!

Sixteen years have passed now. Look, I can hardly stand my spine straight. "

Speaking of this, a trace of memories appeared in Hiruzen's eyes. Those days were really nostalgic.

Although the past may not be all good, just like sixteen years ago, during the Third Ninja War.

At that time, I didn't want to collect war compensation from the Kingdom of Earth, but I was scolded by the villagers to the point of resigning.

Although it was one of the few humiliations in his life, Hiruzen didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

After all, the purpose of the existence of Iwagakure Village is to check and balance the Kumo Ninjas near him, and in the three ninja wars, Ohnoki's losses were too great. Kumo Ninja Village replaced tens of thousands of ninjas in Iwagakure Village with a third-generation Raikage!

Under such circumstances, if the Iwa Ninja Village is suppressed all at once, it is very likely that the national power of the Iwa Ninja Village will be reduced to even less than the Mist Ninja and Sand Ninja.

By then, Iwa Ninja Village will no longer have the strength to check and balance Yun Ninja Village!

You know, compared to Konoha, Onoki and Kumo ninja have more hatred, and the wars between their two villages are more frequent.

If the Iwa Ninja cannot continue to bring pressure to the Kumo Ninja, then Konoha will have to bear more political pressure from the Kumo Ninja Village.

Cloud Ninja Village has always been the most aggressive village. Their style is tougher, their ambitions are greater, and they are more united internally. They are constantly trying to surpass Konoha and become the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

Compared with the war reparations that Konoha does not lack, the significance of the Iwa Ninja Village to check the Cloud Ninja is more important.

For this reason, even if Hiruzen takes the blame and resigns, he must give Iwa Ninja Village a chance to slowly recover!

Otherwise, if the Iwa nin fell, he would be in despair.

The one who ate this mouthful of meat was definitely not Konoha, but many Kumo ninjas who were closer to Iwa Ninja Village.

Those muscle sticks are Konoha's biggest trouble!

And the so-called war reparations….

Konoha fought three ninja wars and won three ninja wars. In the past few decades, Konoha has long been reluctant to collect compensation, and the Konoha government is not very short of money.

Compared with the compensation, Hiruzen believes that the biggest trouble in Konoha is still the Konoha ninja clan that continues to try to become bigger.

Those major ninja clans that are constantly developing are the gold-eating beasts that are parasitic on Konoha's resources.

Therefore, Hiruzen does not regret any of his past operations, and if the dignified shadow of a village can be understood by anyone.

Doesn't that kind of shadow also prove that it is very shallow?

While Hiruzen kept thinking, Jiraiya on the side rubbed his head in silence.

I'm so sorry, teacher, I, a prodigal son, am really not a good choice for Hokage.

Whether Orochimaru or Tsunade, they are all better than him, but he is just a loser.

I am absolutely not qualified to shoulder your expectations...

Yes, Jiraiya is actually a person with low self-esteem. This can be seen in many ways. For example, he never dared to say that he loves you to Tsunade or give Tsunade a promise.

Looking at the disciple in front of him who was trying his best to shirk the position of Hokage as always, Hiruzen sighed leisurely.

"I used to be just like you, Jiraiya.

When I was young, I always felt that I was living in the shadow of my father Sasuke Sarutobi, and my achievements in life, including my peak strength, were far inferior to those of my father Sasuke Sarutobi.

My father was a strong man who had the ability to lead his family to confront Lord Hashirama and Madara Uchiha during the Warring States Period.

Even if he wasn't able to defeat Hashirama-sama and Uchiha Madara, he could at least fight with those two people for a long time.

As for me, I'm afraid I won't be overpowered by the two of them in less than three moves.

In terms of intelligence, I have always been inferior to Danzo. At that time, the Shimura family was a powerful family that was qualified to compete with the Sarutobi family, and Danzo was also an outstanding ninja who was far smarter than me.

Before I became Hokage, why did I ever think that I was the most suitable person for the position of Hokage?

But then, hey...

Jiraiya, you are still qualified to shirk my expectations for you.

And I, if I also die on the battlefield, and declare before my death that you must inherit the position of Hokage.

Perhaps only in this way can you, a boy, shoulder everything like a real man, instead of constantly retreating like a libertine.

The only mistake I made in my life was that I didn't die on the battlefield like the first and second generation adults.

Even though I always win.

I should have died long ago... "

Having said this, Hiruzen sighed leisurely.

Then, he patted Jiraiya's arm.

"Stop talking about that, come with me to meet Ancestor Gawain.

The Great Toad Immortal has disappeared, and it is time for us to meet our ancestors. "

"I see!"

Jiraiya nodded heavily, and then nervously ran towards Gawain's direction with Hiruzen.

After a while.

Whizzing!

The two of them stopped firmly in front of Gawain, and then half-knelt down on one leg.

"Lord Gawain."

"Lord Ancestor."

They both said at the same time, their words breaking Gawain out of his thoughts.

After raising his hand to let the two of them stand up, Gawain looked at Jiraiya who called out his ancestors and smiled.

"Toadmaru, it seems that the biggest toad has told you a lot.

Now, Hiruzen, you should believe what I say, I am really the father of Six Paths Sage Hagoromo.

Now that you know what's going on, there's no need to say more about what's going to happen next. On a good and auspicious day, Hiruzen, you can hand over the position of Hokage.

If the villagers knew that the next Hokage was an old ghost like me, they might be more worried.

In this case, there is no need to tell them in detail, just the normal replacement of Hokage.

And I will continue my mission from thousands of years ago to bring the long overdue unification of the ninja world.

Of course, even though I come from ancient times, I don’t like too many tragedies and deaths and injuries in this world.

Therefore, I will use the ninjutsu of Reincarnation in the Earth to let the dead in the past fight for the future peace of the ninja world.

You juniors using filthy soil to reincarnate is indeed a blasphemy to your ancestors, but I am different.

I use the dirt to reincarnate, just to let those who have never driven me to meet my ancestor again!

Look, there is no need to worry about the destruction of all life in this world, and unity does not necessarily have to be exchanged for countless blood.

Maybe you may not believe what I say, so it’s just right for you two to lend a hand beside me, see with your own eyes what I will do in the future, and witness the changes I bring about.

Come on, follow me back to the village. "

Gawain didn't care what the two of them thought. After he finished speaking, he directly waved and took the two of them back to the Hokage Building with him.

When they appeared, Danzo was actually in the Hokage's office, arguing with Koharu and Mito Kabuto about something.

When Gawain saw Danzo, his mood suddenly became a little worse. When Danzo saw Gawain, he was also shocked and did not dare to continue talking.

Obviously, the purpose of his sudden visit to the Hokage's office must be related to the super giant toad that appeared outside the village before, and Gawain's departure from the village with Jiraiya.

Seeing Danzo's silence, Gawain frowned slightly.

"Since you are no longer the Hokage's assistant, why are you still arguing in the Hokage's office? Do you have such qualifications?

Go away, don't let me lose my patience. Since you have indeed made certain sacrifices for Konoha, go back to your roots and wait for orders.

If there is no order, then you and the root cannot take any action.

Go ahead. "

Gawain waved his hand impatiently, and Danzo was immediately sent away by him.

Obviously, Danzo, who was scolded and sent away in this way, would inevitably get angry at the root, but except for the people at the root, his current little tantrum could no longer have any meaning.

With endless anger and unwillingness, after suppressing his anger, Danzo thought he could no longer endure it.

So, he called his men and sent out a letter written with his infinite ambition.

This letter was given to Orochimaru by Danzo.

Originally, his secret cooperation with Orochimaru was centered around Hiruzen.

But now, that core must change.

Whether it's a temptation or an attack.

He must find a way to send away that damn ancestor so that he can regain the qualifications to sit on the throne of Hokage!

As he thought about it, Danzo's anger overflowed again.

You deserve to die, Gawain, you deserve to die! ! !

It was that night, early in the morning.

Danzo suddenly sat up from the bed and patted his quilt with a sinister expression.

"You really deserve to die!!!"

At the same time, in the Sound Ninja Village, Orochimaru's laboratory.

Looking at Danzo's letter and Kabuto's letter, Orochimaru licked his tongue thoughtfully.

"It's really interesting, haha, Gawain?

Was he actually called an ancestor by his teacher, and was he going to hand over the position of Hokage as soon as he appeared?

How long has it been since I saw such a decisive teacher?

It’s really exciting…. "(End of chapter)
