"Jiraiya!! You!"
When she went to bed, Xiaochun couldn't believe her ears.
It's not like she hasn't thought about the possible turmoil in her status in the village.
But now, Uchiha Sasuke has just left, and Jiraiya has lost a large chunk of Jimura's bargaining chip. It is the time when he and Mito Kadoen are needed to support him and maintain stability.
At such a point in time, she really couldn't understand what Jiraiya was planning.
"Lord Hokage, Koharu has been working as a consultant for many years. He is very experienced and the basis for judging things has always been from the standpoint of the village.
"In an organization, there are often forces with different attitudes, and the existence of Utatane Koharu has irreplaceable value in bridging the gap between different positions.
"I'm afraid your hasty decision won't convince the public."
Mito Menyan opened his mouth to persuade at the right time.
Compared to Sasuke's departure, what happened now made him feel even more wary.
But as a veteran politician, the more times like this, the more calm and clear-headed he is.
During the conversation, he was almost telling Jiraiya not to go too far——
Without them, the conflict between Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo would probably lack the necessary buffer zone and return space.
"So, I didn't move your position!
"Aren't you close friends? As the woman behind you, Master Xiaochun can also bring sufficient value to the village.
"Besides, every time, and I mean every time, you two give exactly the same opinion, so why do you have to take up two seats?"
In front of the full audience of Konoha backbones, Jiraiya pointed out the truth about the two of them being together without mercy.
This sentence made Mito Kadoyan's stance become extremely passive.
No matter what he says next, he will easily be labeled as "greedy for power".
I saw that Mito Menyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something stubbornly.
However, Jiraiya immediately interrupted his speech and continued:
"Don't be so nervous, two adults. As I said, the treatment for Xiaochun who has moved to another dormitory will definitely not be dismissal or expulsion, but just a temporary suspension for us to explore new possibilities.
"During this period, I propose that Tsunade from Konoha Hospital temporarily take over the position of consultant and assume all corresponding responsibilities."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaochun's heart completely went cold.
A successor has been found.
Considering his age, what Jiraiya said about "taking a break from work" was just to give himself a surface appearance.
As for the people in the audience, after hearing the name "Tsunade-sama", the ninjas who had some complaints or worries in their hearts were all speechless at this moment.
With Tsunade's strength and qualifications, she is absolutely qualified to hold this position.
At this time, everyone looked back and thought.
The "coincidence of opinions", "Konoha's brain vitality" and "sustainability and diversity" are issues that Lord Hokage has previously mentioned.
It seems that they all exist in reality.
After figuring this out, everyone remained silent.
With his head lowered, he quietly waited for the Fifth Hokage to further implement his personal strong will.
-
In the country of Tian, Yinyin Ninja Village.
Uchiha Sasuke ran quickly.
In a daze, through the swaying hair on his forehead, he felt that he had been to this land before.
Remote, desolate, cold air and turbid dust.
Sasuke felt the atmosphere around him and felt an indescribable familiarity in his heart.
Finally, the four of them stopped in front of a pit.
The walls of the pit are vertically steep.
There are no stairs or naturally formed mountain paths.
"This is it."
Kidomaru gasped slightly.
Everyone was out of breath from their too eager rush before.
Uchiha Sasuke looked around and saw that the entire ground was gray-purple, resembling dried blood.
In the middle of the ground, there is an artificial path that leads to a dark tunnel entrance.
"I'll go down first and show you the way."
After seeing Sasuke's lack of action, Jirobo was extremely sensible.
As he spoke, he jumped down.
After seeing the safety, Uchiha Sasuke no longer hesitated and jumped down.
Behind him, Kidomaru and Tayuya jumped down one after another.
Several people walked along the path at the bottom of the valley and hurried into the dark tunnel entrance.
In the long and winding dark tunnel, the four of them were silent. They could only hear each other's heartbeats and slight breathing.
The deeper he went, the more Sasuke felt that everything was so familiar.
It wasn't until he passed by a room that Sasuke suddenly realized.
The scene here is almost exactly the same as the place where Kimimaro was once imprisoned in Konoha Hidden Village!
Thinking of this, Sasuke suddenly remembered.
Master Toad Jiraiya once told himself that Orochimaru spent some time under Danzo Shimura when he was young.
Perhaps it was because of this experience that the architectural style of Orochimaru's base greatly referenced Konoha's Root Organization base.
"Lord Orochimaru, this is right here."
Just as Sasuke was thinking wildly, everyone suddenly stopped.
Jirobo bowed respectfully, pointed his hand at a big door in front of him, and motioned Sasuke to go in directly.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't hesitate, immediately calmed down, opened the door and walked in.
Jirobo claims to be the messenger and is going to go with him.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped fiercely by Tayuya on the side.
"Fat pig, what do you want to do in there? Why are you trying to be so attentive? Is there any room for you to speak in there?!"
Tayuya cursed.
Jirobo felt ashamed and angry after someone told him what he was thinking.
After a moment's pause, he saw that the fan logo behind Uchiha Sasuke was getting smaller and smaller, and there was no chance to follow him.
He couldn't help but complain:
"You are always so mean and abusive, Tayuya. Even if I am not your teammate, you should not talk to a ninja like this. This is the most basic respect."
"The premise is that you deserve my respect, you silly pig who is flirting with you!"
Tayouya continued to curse without any hesitation, then walked straight out the door and went to her room.
A long day's trek, and battles, and even life and death.
She only felt upset in her heart. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good sleep in her own world.
Jirobo hesitated for a while, and just as he was about to leave, he saw Kidomaru dawdling about something beside him, and asked in confusion:
"Aren't you going back?"
Kidomaru scratched his head, shook his head and smiled: "I'll wait a moment, I still have some unfinished business."
Seeing Jirobo staring at him in confusion, Kidomaru couldn't help but become impatient and scolded with a smile:
"Come on, you annoying guy."
As he spoke, he used his four arms to grab Jirobo, turned him around, and pushed the fat ninja away from here like a dung ball.
"Sasuke, you are finally here."
In the hall, after seeing Uchiha Sasuke walking into the room alone, Orochimaru felt so excited that he was trembling inside.
He couldn't help licking his long tongue, and said excitedly in a hoarse voice:
"I told you when we first met that you were destined to come to me."
Under the other party's reminder, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but think of the encounter in the Death Forest again.
Looking back, that was nearly a year ago.
"Where is Neji?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked around and didn't see his friend, so he asked coldly.
"He's safe. Maybe we should talk alone first."
Orochimaru spread his hands and said softly.
"We had nothing to talk about before meeting Neji."
Uchiha Sasuke answered very simply.
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils stared at Sasuke quietly.
After a while, he gave in again.
A small snake emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve and slid quickly towards the door with a hissing sound.
