I sell sweets in Konoha

There are so many things that come to mind that I can't figure them out.

It is a light.

"Do you know why she is Hokage?" Jiraiya said, standing next to Naruto: "Because she understands how to sacrifice herself to light up others."

"Why do you want to become Hokage?" Jiraiya asked, "Is it because of the heroic words of my former self?"

"Or is it because you want to be recognized by others?"

"Or is it just because of her?"

"Following in Junko's footsteps?"

Why?It seems like no one has mentioned this issue for too long.It's been so long that Naruto himself has forgotten the answer to this question.

Because he shouted 'I want to become Hokage' when being laughed at?

Because when you are not recognized, you think you will be recognized by becoming Hokage?

Or is it just because Junko-san is Hokage.

Following in her footsteps?

Seems to have both?

But has no one really told him the answer to this question?

Do not!

No!

Someone told him the answer to this question!

"The so-called Hokage is a person who brings hope to everyone, stands in the dark night, protects everyone, and welcomes the dawn for everyone. The so-called Hokage is not that you can be recognized by others because you become Hokage, but that you can become Hokage only by being recognized by others. qualifications."

"The so-called fire means that wherever there are fluttering wooden leaves, fire will burn!"

Jiraiya spoke word for word.

"Set the mountain on fire and sit in jail!" Naruto suddenly said this without any clue.

"Hai?" Jiraiya was so stifled by Naruto's mindless words that he didn't even know what to say next.

"Do not..."

Naruto smiled to himself and said, "I just suddenly remembered what Junko-sama said."

"She didn't say it less."

"Whenever the third generation grandfather said this, Sister Junko liked to add, 'Set the mountain on fire and sit in jail.'"

Naruto laughed at himself, Naruto didn't want to cry, he wanted to be strong, but the tears stayed involuntarily.Unable to stop it, it flowed down my cheeks.

"I know...I understand the truth." Naruto bit his lip and tried not to cry.

"But...but...but..."

The first time I was recognized by someone, the first time I had a family, the first time I had a place I could call home, the first time I went home and shouted "I'm back" and someone responded.

It was all brought to him by Sister Junko.

It was the first time I gave him candy, the first time I cooked for him, and the first time someone told him things that he didn't understand at that time.

"I know..." Naruto sobbed softly, "I just..."

"I just want Junko-sama to watch me become Hokage."

"Why... why did it become like this..."

"Because she is Hokage." Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder and said, "Even if she has to step down from that position for many reasons, she is still Hokage."

"What she has to do and bear is far more than others."

"I can understand how you feel." Jiraiya said, "I have lost too much."

"I didn't have the ability to chase my teammates back, and I didn't help my master in that battle."

"And he didn't save one of his important students."

"In the end, even my own apprentice will turn against him."

"The woman I love most is with someone else again..."

"Someone else had a baby."

"Really speaking..." Jiraiya sighed and said self-deprecatingly: "My whole life... it is simply moving forward amidst all kinds of failures."

"It seems like my whole life has been spent in constant failure and defeat."

"Although it feels like I'm just living through different failures."

"But failure at least keeps me from standing still."

Looking at Jiraiya's words, Naruto's eyes seemed to have more light.

"I don't know when I will have real success." Jiraiya continued: "But at least so many failures have taught me a lot."

“From the important to the trivial, there are many, many, so many that I don’t even know how to summarize them.”

"You should also know, right? This is what Junko gave you."

"What?" Naruto seemed to be asking knowingly.

"You can't stay a child forever." Jiraiya pressed Naruto's shoulder.

It was very forceful, as if he wanted to entrust something completely to Naruto.

"Growing up is not just physical growth. There will come a time when you need to take responsibility. Junko is the Hokage who burns himself to light your way forward."

"But there will be a moment when she burns out, and at that moment someone has to take over her will."

“Be the light, be the fire shadow that illuminates others’ progress.”

"Naruto."

'Be the light? 'Naruto looked at the Hokage Rock.

He wiped away tears.

Although my mood has not fully recovered, it seems that my will has begun to gradually recover.

"Moreover." Jiraiya then complained: "Why do you think Junko is dead?"

"Although there are rumors from the outside world, these rumors may not be accurate, right?"

"Because of you!" Naruto said: "The lustful immortal was beaten like that and Junko-san didn't come back, and Payne seems to be in peace."

“So I think that’s how it should be.”

"Hey...you brat!" Jiraiya slapped Naruto on the head.

"The reason why I'm so miserable is not because of how powerful Payne is."

"It's because I was careless!"

"That guy Payne actually took advantage of my carelessness to trick me and attack me secretly. He has no martial ethics at all."

"If I hadn't been careless, could this have happened?"

"But..." Although Jiraiya said this, he had to admit one thing.

"That guy Nagato is much more powerful than I thought."

"Junko's current situation is uncertain. He should take this opportunity to take revenge on Konoha."

"If you're not here now, you might still be planning all this."

"If you continue to be depressed like this."

"I guess he's coming in the next wave."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish anything."

"How is it possible!" Naruto shook his head and said, "How is it possible! Impossible!"

"I'm going to be Hokage's man!"

"Practice! Practice! Practice!"

"If Penn comes, come!"

"I have an account!"

"I have to settle with him!

Chapter 199 Frozen hands are not frozen

"It's time to make a decision."

Obito stood in front of Payne in the secret base of the Land of Rain and said, "Your preparations should be completed, right?"

There is a consensus between Obito and Pain that is not a consensus.

They all thought that it was the best time to capture the Kyuubi while the Fifth Hokage's whereabouts were unknown.

At the same time, there is also a consensus based on this consensus.

Everyone knows that doing this will take a lot of risks, especially Payne.After leaving the Kingdom of Rain, he left his hiding place!

Remotely operating the Six Paths of Pain can indeed temporarily allow some people who don't know the truth to focus on the Six Paths of Pain.

But the Fifth Hokage knew that Pain Six Paths was only controlled by Nagato.

She would completely hide in the dark and search for the location of Nagato's body.

Use her strange detection ability in conjunction with the Sharingan, if she is sincerely looking for it.No one can guarantee that the Fifth Hokage will never find Nagato.

Once far away from the country of rain, the rain ninja village.

Nagato came out of the secret fortress he had built.

That's when he's at his most vulnerable.

If the Fifth Hokage really comes to visit, Obito will definitely not be able to rely on him and may not fully protect him.Konan, the only one who can protect himself with all his strength, may not be able to defeat the Fifth Hokage.

If you do the math, this was too expensive for Nagato.

Too much risk.

Of course, the benefits are also the greatest.

The most important thing is that there is a problem that Nagato has to face.

Kyuubi must be captured!

It's just a matter of time.

The original plan was to gather eight of them before challenging the Leaf Village, with the eight tailed beasts as their backing, and everyone in Akatsuki going all out.The probability of successfully capturing the Kyuubi is very high.

But people are not as good as heaven.

Nagato didn't expect that Jiraiya would come here, and he also didn't expect that the Fifth Hokage would come either.

What he didn't expect was that the first round of the fight with the Fifth Hokage would have such a strange result.

"Have you not made up your mind yet?" Obito asked after seeing Tiandao's delay in answering: "Now is the best reality. If we can't take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Kyuubi."

"We may not have this chance!"

Obito looked like he was urging.

It is also true.

It looks like a window, but it looks more like a trap.

Should I take the safer route or give it a try.

This is really a problem.

"Over there in Konoha." Tiandao asked expressionlessly, "No news has been sent back at all?"

"Jiraiya has been discharged from the hospital." Obito said, leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, "But his strength has been greatly damaged, and there is no way to replace the missing arm."

"Jiraiya is not a serious threat for the time being."

"The biggest problem is Gen." Obito waved his hand and said, "But Gen's main focus is currently on finding the Fifth Hokage, and most of the Anbu have left Konoha."
