Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

Konoha Village!

Now it is already a bit dejected.

Ever since the ninja alliance's attack on the castle tower was defeated a few months ago, the confidence that "Konoha is the strongest" in everyone's hearts has disappeared.

Just kidding, in the past it was the gods of Konoha who came down to earth and beat everyone. When will it be their turn to form a group with others to beat people.

The point is that even if you beat me hard, you still get beaten back.

Even the thick-skinned villagers are embarrassed to say that Konoha is the strongest ninja village now.

The Kingdom of Lieyang!

It is now recognized as the strongest force in the ninja world.

How can the villagers of Konoha feel at ease after being taken away from the title of being the strongest and still being so close to the opponent.

Occasionally, you can see some villagers leaving in carriages.

migrate!

In the past, the only way to move to Konoha was from other places, and few villagers were willing to move away.

But from a few months ago to now, thousands of villagers have left.

Note that villagers are not the same as ninjas.

These people do not need the consent of the village's top management to move away, let alone ask for instructions.

Hokage Building!

"Jiraiya, we must find a way to prevent those people from leaving the village. Without these villagers, Konoha..."

After going to bed, Koharu opened the door and came in with a stern warning to Jiraiya, the fifth generation Hokage who was sitting in the Hokage's seat with a tired look on his face.

He had become like this since his defeat a few months ago, as if he wanted to use this state to numb himself.

There is no way, who made Konoha lose so miserably in the previous battle.

Not to mention the loss of Nara Shikaku as the 'Konoha Military Advisor' and Gai as the 'blue beast', the loss of fame and honor alone was a huge blow to Konoha.

In comparison, the fact that Tsunade, who was covering his retreat, failed to save him, was not the biggest blow.

Of course, there are also reasons for the toad clan.

If we say that during the battle at Miaomu Mountain, the only high-level toads lost were the Great Toad Immortal and the powerful toad.

In this Ninja World War, it can be said that the top leaders of the Toad Clan have almost suffered complete losses.

Except for Shima, Fukasaku, and Bunta who were lucky enough to survive, no other high-level toads survived, which was a devastating blow.

Don't look at the toad family now, there are still a lot of growing little toads.

But if you can't grow in a holy land, there won't be such a rich natural energy environment.

This is the most crucial point!

The reason why the toad clan has strong people is precisely because they occupy Miaomu Mountain.

Now that Miaomu Mountain has fallen into the hands of Lieyang Kingdom, it is impossible to return to their hands, which is doomed to the decline of their clan.

It's not impossible to give birth to a toad of Bunta's level in the future, but the chance is pitifully small, let alone one that grows to the level of Shima and Fukasaku.

Natural energy is so important.

Otherwise, the Toad Clan would not be able to do everything possible to take back Miaomu Mountain.

It can be said that the current toad clan's last hope is the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima, as well as Bunta.

Once these pillars are gone, the entire toad clan will become a race of ordinary ninja beasts.

"I see!"

Jiraiya nodded slightly, indicating that he heard Koharu's reminder to go to bed, but he was not ready to do anything.

"Jiraiya, Konoha is in danger now. If you continue like this..."

After going to bed, Xiaochun said this and turned around angrily to leave the office.

She could no longer stand the current Jiraiya.

In this case, even if Danzo was given the upper hand, he would still be much stronger than Jiraiya.

'For Konoha, no matter what it is, I can do it! ’

She made up her mind.

Yes, since Jiraiya didn't take action, then it was up to her.

Just let people kill the relocated villagers, and then announce that it was the castle tower... that was done by Lieyang Kingdom, so that other villagers can be prevented from leaving.

"Elder Xiaochun!"

A voice interrupted Xiaochun's thoughts as he went to bed.

Sarutobi Asuma, who was wearing a ninja uniform and had a feminine temperament, walked over.

"It's Asuma!"

After going to bed, Xiaochun's face looked much relieved.

No matter how disappointing Jiraiya is, at least there are still some trustworthy juniors in the village.

Now, both she and Mito Kadoyan have regarded each other as the hope of the Hokage system, and have even given many resources to each other.

It can be said that Jiraiya has actually been 'abandoned' by the Hokage system.

Otherwise, Xiaochun wouldn't have decided to take action on her own without even a few words of persuasion when she went to bed.

"Elder Koharu, are you okay, Jiraiya-sama?"

Asuma seemed to be extremely 'concerned' about Jiraiya.

Well, at this moment he felt that the opportunity had come.

Nowadays, Jiraiya is simply unable to rebuild the glory of Konoha. This is his great opportunity.

"Well, Jiraiya was hit too hard and it will take some time to recover. During this time, I can only look at you young people!"

Koharu, who had gone to bed, was naturally aware of Asuma's ambition, but he was extremely supportive of it.

It's better to be ambitious than to 'lay flat' like Jiraiya, right? .

So these words can be regarded as encouragement to the other party.

"Elder Xiaoharu, please rest assured, I will definitely protect the village and restore the glory of Konoha!"

Asma gave a firm assurance.

What he said was really not nonsense.

He was serious about rebuilding the glory of Konoha.

However, the premise is that Konoha is under his leadership.

If you cannot be under your own leadership, then destruction will be destruction.

However, Asuma still needs Jiraiya's help, so he won't show his ambition for the time being.

After sorting out his mentality, he came to the Hokage's office.

"It's Asuma!"

Jiraiya forced himself to cheer up.

In front of an 'elder' like Koharu Utatane, he was too lazy to pretend, but he still had to maintain his image in front of his juniors.

"Jiraiya, my strength has been declining recently..."

Asuma described his difficulties in strength.

As the other party is the Hokage and his father's disciple, it is completely natural for him to come to the other party for guidance.

"Is that so!"

Jiraiya frowned.

Because he knew very well that Asuma's current strength was not much weaker than his own.

Even if it was himself, he only surpassed the other party in experience and some aspects.

The only thing that widened the gap was that.

Seeing Jiraiya pondering, Asuma felt his heartbeat quicken, because the power he dreamed of was closer to him than ever before.

"…Asuma, have you inherited the summoning scroll of the Sarutobi clan?"

Finally, Jiraiya spoke up.

Now Konoha really needs a powerful new "sage" to boost morale.

"No, the style of the Sarutobi clan doesn't match mine!"

Asuma shook his head.

As for the real reason, he won't say it.

Yes, he started to target the Toad Clan.

In the past, this plan would never succeed.

Can you make a contract with Myoboku Mountain just because you want to? .

The noble and cold holy land is very picky about the contractors. If you are not a prophet, don't even think about making a contract.

But now? .

Without Myoboku Mountain, the current Toad Clan can't be noble and cold, but have to rely on Konoha for food.

At least some resources need to be supplied by Konoha.

If natural energy is gone, nutrient solution and medicinal materials can be used as substitutes.

Only when there is a request from Konoha, Asuma will feel that there is a chance.

As for not being able to learn? .

Sorry, there is only whether the investment is big enough, not whether it can be mastered.

Not to mention, under the premise of close guidance of two "sages", they will directly help you condense and master natural energy, instantly reducing the difficulty countless times.

"If you want, you can sign a contract with the Toad Clan, and then let them help you master the "Sage Mode", so that your strength may grow!"

Jiraiya made a promise.

He also needs the support of the Sarutobi Clan or the entire Hokage system, so it is not excessive to teach Asuma the Sage Mode.

As for the destruction of Myoboku Mountain, there is no Toad Oil? .

Indeed, those in the past must be gone, but it does not mean that the Toad Clan has no Toad Oil, not to mention that there are two Sages to guide, so there is no problem in learning the Sage Mode.

The question is whether it can be used in actual combat!

"Thank you, Jiraiya!"

Asuma bowed excitedly to thank him.

He knows what the Sage Mode represents too well.

Asuma lowered his head, a strange smile flashing across the corner of his mouth, but unfortunately Jiraiya didn't see it at all.
