Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

She maintained that position for more than half a minute.

Someone seemed to have finally regained some "clarity" and "recovery," and got up again.

And once again, he struck a defiant pose, refusing to admit defeat.

The impact and shock of this scene are so strong.

It was no less than that of a Battle King who already possessed superhuman flying abilities, and suddenly he used the move "Battle Qi Transformation into Horse" and even complained that his horse was not as fast as others.

The two ninja spectators froze on the spot when they saw Jiraiya like this.

My urge to complain surged a thousandfold in an instant.

"No, brother, Konoha is about to be destroyed, are you kidding me?"

"Orochimaru's summoning beasts are powerful, but don't you have any? Summon my brother Guang and brother Jian to take him down!"

"Jiraiya, where's your Fire Release? Where's your hair ninjutsu? Where's your Sage Mode? Using taijutsu to fight a giant summoning beast, how did you even come up with that?"

"The acting was quite good; I was referring to the snake."

"Snake: Can you believe it? I once went toe-to-toe with Jiraiya, who was known as the Toad Sage. No, to be more precise, I beat him to a pulp."

"That giant purple snake was probably completely dumbfounded, thinking, 'How come I never knew I was so awesome?'"

"Snake: I'll brag about this for the rest of my life, okay?"

……

Orochimaru of the Ninja World:

"Jiraiya, are snakes fun?"

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

"What kind of outrageous words are you spouting? Besides, that's not me at all, it's just that someone who looks like me and happens to have the same name."

Original Minato Namikaze (Undead):

"Teacher, are you serious about your acting?"

Original Uchiha Great Fire (Undead):

"Hilarious! Hiruzen Sarutobi thinks he's the Hokage, with all the power in his hands, and that defeating a mere rogue ninja who's abandoned by everyone is just a piece of cake."

Unexpectedly, he was the one who was truly abandoned by everyone; not a single person actually wanted to save him.

I have to say, this scene was fucking satisfying to watch. That's exactly how I wanted to do it to him, hahaha.

Uehara Masaki of the Ninja World:

"Orochimaru dared to attack a Hokage so brazenly and recklessly because he was certain that no one would come to save the Third Hokage, right?"

It's a pity that Dad is still so popular even now, otherwise I would also...

Uehara Sasuke of the Ninja World:

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to find that purple snake and form a contract with it to become my main summoning beast."

"Manda is nothing compared to Camilla; Shiro is the real YYDS."

Minato Namikaze of the Ninja World:

"I suddenly remembered the Fourth Hokage's declaration when he took power."

'For twenty years, Hiruzen Sarutobi ruled Konoha, his perverse policies fueling public resentment and earning him the people's long-standing disdain.'

He said he was simply following the desires that everyone harbored deep in their hearts but dared not express.

……

Up until Jiraiya appeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi anxiously sought help and hoped for the other party's return, but everyone around him was preoccupied with their own affairs.

The Anbu were responsible for protecting the spectators in the Chunin Exams stands. Might Guy and Kakashi were fighting the Sand Ninja, while Jiraiya was tightly "entangled" by a snake and unable to break free.

Meanwhile, our Nagakage Danzo is dreaming of getting promoted, receiving a raise, becoming the general manager of Konoha, becoming the CEO of the ninja world, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Yes, her smile was very bright.

In fact, although Konoha had fallen to its lowest point, it was not without any strength at all.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Aburame-Inuzuka clan, and the Hyuga clan all still maintain a fairly strong foundation.

Some top-tier fighters who retired early are still alive, such as Chen Baojun, known as the Konoha Dragon God with the strongest taijutsu, and Maru Hoshisuke, a legendary genin who received personal guidance from the Second Hokage.

But despite the magnitude of the event, not a single one of these people intervened to stop it.

This reveals the true state of people's hearts.

Everyone, including the ANBU members whom Hiruzen Sarutobi personally selected, trained, and trusted, wished him dead.

If you're simply watching an anime or reading a literary work...

These minor details might simply be things the author hadn't considered or overlooked at the time, or perhaps the story had only just begun and the setup wasn't yet complete.

There can be countless reasons.

But when it becomes a real world, then behind every irrational phenomenon there will be a reason that makes it reasonable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is trash, that's universally acknowledged in the ninja world, there's no denying it.

The Primitive Ninja World

It was still that dark cave.

Uchiha Itachi looked at the depictions of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Danzo, the Anbu, the ninja clans, and all the others on the scroll.

Seeing that they showed no grief whatsoever for the deaths of three generations, but instead seemed delighted, practically ready to celebrate with gongs, drums, songs, and dances,

Even Matt Kay, whom he previously thought was the most brainless, was able to distinguish right from wrong afterward.

His face immediately turned ashen.

His hands were clenched into fists, and he was trembling with anger.

A terrifying aura of killing intent erupted from his eyes.

He roared with laughter:

"Haha, am I the only fool? Only me, only me is a fool, hahahahaha."

"So, I was the only fool. Everyone else knew, everyone knew."

"Dad, Mom, Sasuke, Shisui, elders, clansmen, I've been tricked! I've been tricked so badly! Hahahaha, ahh ...

Chapter 131 Jiraiya Infiltrates Amegakure

Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha was a grand and spectacular undertaking, even uniting one of the Five Great Nations.

They claimed they would completely destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village and kill everyone, which sounded incredibly terrifying.

As a result, after a chaotic battle,

Among the ninjas with names and surnames, only Hiruzen Sarutobi died, along with Hayate Gekko, who became famous because his girlfriend was too beautiful.

Others, including strong figures like Kakashi, Might Guy, and Jiraiya,

The genin participating in the Chunin Exams, and the spectators—who should have been at the very center of the storm and the very place where the turmoil began—

They were all completely unharmed.

At most, it would include the few buildings that were destroyed by the summoned beasts, as well as the rooftops used for the final battle.

This loss, for a country as large as Konoha, is probably equivalent to losing a nose hair, or even a broken one.

Calling it outrageous is a bit of an exaggeration; it's practically a miracle.

In the video,

After confirming that Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly dead, and that Naruto's side had successfully defeated the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and was no longer in any danger,

Jiraiya breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The location he painstakingly found was not only convenient for supporting Orochimaru, but also allowed him to keep an eye on Naruto's side in crucial moments.

Fortunately, both battlefields were won decisively, so he didn't need to take action.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiraiya immediately unleashed a fireball.

He easily dealt with the giant purple snake that had been blocking his way for more than twenty minutes in no time.

When Koharu and Homura emerged from their private shelter to arrange the follow-up matters...

This guy has actually found a suitable bath.

Holding a telescope, he was "collecting materials" with a heart full of joy and no trace of sadness.

With the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi,

At this moment, among the older generation of Konoha's strongest ninjas, only Jiraiya truly possesses both prestige and strength, making him a worthy pillar of strength.

Although he did not bear the title of Hokage, he had become the de facto uncrowned king.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly carefree and unreliable demeanor.

However, very few people dare to disrespect him when he makes decisions.

This hero,

First, a hand slapped Shimura Danzo, who was dreaming of becoming Hokage, awake, causing him to cower at the base, too afraid to move an inch.

Without Hiruzen's cooperation, the already weak Kage...

Even facing the world's only master of immortal arts, he couldn't muster any strength.

He could only rage helplessly alone in a dark corner.

But even if he was furious, he wouldn't dare to step forward. Jiraiya could sit idly by and watch Hiruzen Sarutobi be killed by Orochimaru; he might very well take action against him as well.

Freed from the constraints of teacher-student relationships, this hero has truly broken free of his shackles and returned to the sea like a dragon.

After suppressing Danzo, Jiraiya decisively rejected the two advisors' proposal to become Hokage.

With unwavering certainty, he unilaterally and directly established Tsunade, who had been away from Konoha for over ten years, as the sole candidate for the Fifth Hokage.
