Chapter 231 Jiraiya's Killing Intention (4000)

Ninjas are a very strange species.

He possesses extraordinary powers, but obeys the orders of ordinary people.

Even Hashirama Senju, who possesses the power to move mountains and fill the sea, is not immune.

Ordinary people are as vulnerable in front of ninjas as a six-year-old child facing a strong man in his prime.

Even though they possessed this power, they never thought of replacing it.

Even when Hashirama Senju founded Konoha, he was nominally a vassal of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

In other words, it is nothing more than a sharp blade in the hands of the so-called daimyo.

Ninjas fought bloody battles with enemies on the front lines, while the nobles, who were ordinary people, enjoyed themselves in the rear. Even the so-called shadow had to be approved by the daimyo, even in name only.

This is extremely outrageous in any world.

Why should the strong obey the weak, especially when the weak only know how to exploit ordinary people and suck their blood.

If this so-called weak person has unique qualities, for example, even if he is weak in military force, he is good at political affairs and people's livelihood, then the compassionate strong person naturally does not mind becoming the sharpest knife in his hand.

Unfortunately, most of the so-called nobles in the ninja world are the same kind of people.

Two great masters, Ohnoki, bowed respectfully before the newly appointed Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

However, the daimyo who had just come of age couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when he saw the silent Tsuchikage in front of him.

He was the first to know about what happened in the Fire Nation and the Water Nation.

The initial excitement of becoming a new daimyo was gone, and all that remained was fear and terror.

Fear of the power of ninjas.

Afraid that the Tsuchikage would follow Konoha's example.

"Lord Oonoki."

The voice of the Land Kingdom Daimyo was a little hoarse.

"You, tell me, what should we do now?"

Ohnoki stood up and looked seriously at the young man in his twenties.

Naturally, he was also well aware of the current situation in the Fire Nation and the Water Nation.

When he first learned the news, he thought Konoha and Kirigakure were crazy.

But thinking about it carefully afterwards.

What's wrong with ninjas taking charge of a country?
But the duty of a ninja in his heart told him that it was his responsibility to protect the daimyo, the nobles and the country.

If he were to do the same thing as Konoha Kirigakure at this moment, then what on earth was he doing in his life?
What have I been protecting for those decades?
Is my own will, my own will of stone going to direct Dust Release towards the being I have spent almost my entire life protecting?

Ohnoki is a stubborn old man and also an old man of great age.

He is the only old man left among the current Five Kage.

The Hokage of Konoha is only eighteen years old, the Mizukage of Kirigakure is thirty years old, the Kazekage of Sand Shinobi is twenty years old, and the Raikage of Kumogakure is also twenty years old.

The other four ninja villages have already entered the fourth generation period.

He was the only Tsuchikage who was still the third generation. He was already over fifty years old and his hair was already half a hundred years old. The most important thing was that he had not yet found a suitable successor.

He thought his son could become the Tsuchikage, but he died at the hands of Uzumaki Kyuyuki.

At first glance, it seemed that there was no one in the Iwagakure Village who could be of great use at the moment.

"Tsuchi, Lord Tsuchikage..."

The daimyo looked at the silent Ōnoki in front of him with some trepidation.

"Don't worry, Daimyo. I will not go along with those rebellious people."

Oonoki's words eased the daimyo's anxiety a little, but he suppressed his nervousness and continued:

"So, when will the Tsuchikage-sama set out to invade Konoha?"

The ninja transformation of the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom, with more than 100,000 nobles in the two countries combined, were all brought down to earth and became no different from civilians. This made the Daimyo of the Earth Kingdom a little unbearable.

Intermarriage between nobles was common, and nobles in the five major countries and even dozens of small countries were basically related by blood.

This world was almost their forbidden territory. Now that the privileges of the nobles had been brazenly torn away by Konoha and Kirigakure, he truly felt the pain of losing one's teeth.

"My Lord Daimyo, the strength of Konoha's army is just as strong as it was when Hashirama Senju was alive. Now we..."

Oonoki said helplessly.

If he was capable of fighting, he would have led his troops there long ago. Why would he be here chatting with this newly appointed famous kid?

"But, but if we don't fight now, won't we still die when they come to attack us?"

The daimyo spoke almost subconsciously.

Ohnoki was stunned for a moment.

Because Konoha in the era of Hashirama Senju was almost like a good guy, his subconscious mind believed that Konoha was not aggressive.

But the Konoha at this moment is the Konoha led by the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Kaoru, the one who single-handedly led the destruction of the Fire Country nobles.

How can such a person not be aggressive?
Am I too naive?

At this moment, Ohnoki suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.

He had a feeling that the Iwagakure Village would end in his hands.

And he will be the last Tsuchikage.

There is no need to look for an heir...

Konoha
Hokage Building
At this moment, the second to tenth floors of the Hokage Building were filled with noise.

Hundreds of staff members were quickly counting the money and food that had been confiscated from the homes of nobles across the Fire Nation.

When these people completed the accounting statistics that had been in place for nearly a month and handed them to Xun, he was directly shocked by the almost astronomical figures in front of him.

And this does not include all kinds of rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. If all those things were converted into money, the number would multiply several times.

Closing the account book heavily, Xun let out a long breath. With Konoha's current progress, it would take Konoha a hundred years to spend all the money.

This is the wealth accumulated by the so-called nobles over thousands of years. They would rather let these things rot in the warehouse than give them away to help anyone.

If they had a little kindness, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

"A bunch of hopeless guys."

Xun truly felt the greed of the nobles at this moment.

The blonde girl looked out the window at the brand new Konoha and said:

"Send Elder Mitomon and Tsunetouchi over here."

"Yes."

Following a voice of agreement from the dark, the Anbu who were on standby at any time disappeared.

Although Mitomon En and Utane Koharu are old-fashioned and inflexible, they are tough people.

When people come, they always have to do something to show their presence, so as not to make young people feel useless.

Konoha is now extremely powerful, so it doesn't matter if Mito Kado En died. He had taken the first step in the Dragon Vein Plan because of his mission to the second parallel universe, so it can be said that he died without regrets.

As for Utane Koharu, there has been nothing good to show off her presence until now, so let her be the main one, and Mito Kado En as the auxiliary, and the two of them supervise each other, and then arrange for Mitarai Shisho to be involved. In this way, the three parties can supervise each other, and Utane Koharu can also satisfy her so-called "sense of presence".

Jiraiya sat alone on the former Hokage Rock, drinking alone. Now, perhaps only the Shadow Rock under his feet could remind him of the former appearance of Konoha.

Everything has changed since Xun came to power.

He couldn't say whether this change was good or bad, but he had indeed felt with his own eyes that Konoha was becoming increasingly powerful.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

As Jiraiya finished drinking the clear liquid from the bottle in his hand, a young man appeared behind him.

Jiu Xing calmly looked at Jiraiya who was trying to get her drunk, and had no intention of stopping him.

Jiraiya turned around and saw that the person he was waiting for had arrived. He stood up reluctantly, pressed Jiu Xing's shoulders directly, and said incoherently:

"explain."

"Tell me!"

"Did you ask Xun to do this?!"

"She's only eighteen!"

"You let her do this!"

"Do you know what the history books will say about her?"

Jiu Xing smelled the smell of alcohol on Jiraiya, frowned, and pushed him away.

Jiraiya lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

"The history books will give Kaoru a separate biography, the Namikaze Chronicle, and record that Kaoru, the Shadow of Konoha, is the first woman to ascend the throne."

"She swept away all the warlords, created new laws, destroyed the old system, and allowed the people to recuperate. Under her rule, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."

"With the dragon vein of the ninja world, we created the diverse Konoha and established the supreme great cause." "There is no one before us, and there will be no one after us."

"Is this enough, Jiraiya?"

Jiu Xing looked at Jiraiya, whose face was flushed, and was not sure whether he was angry or drunk.

"Unprecedented?"

"No one will come after you?"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Uzumaki Kuyuki!"

"You are so full of yourself!"

"Do you think violence can solve everything?"

Jiraiya stood up angrily, his chest heaving violently, and his red eyes stared at the young man in front of him who was not yet an adult.

"If you get rid of all those nobles, who will run this country?"

“Who will be responsible for so many people?”

"Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

"The nobility has always ruled the world!"

"Ninjas defend against foreign enemies!"

"What qualifications do you have to do this!"

"Why do you do that!"

Looking at the stiff Jiraiya in front of him, Jiu Xing said without changing his expression:

"Has it always been right?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya froze in his tracks, then said angrily:

"really!"

"It's really you!"

"You're the one who led Xun astray!"

"If I had known this, I should have fought to the death to sever the relationship between you and Xun!"

Jiraiya was like a madman on the Hokage Rock at this moment.

Jiu Xing looked at the person in front of him with pity.

Old-fashioned and outdated.

Even Mitomon En and Utane Koharu are more flexible than him, and he himself doesn't want to take responsibility and likes to give orders.

A pedantic person.

"Jiraiya, you're drunk."

Jiu Xing said.

"I'm not drunk!"

"I'm sober!"

Jiraiya shouted, looking at the young man in front of him like a wild animal.

"Jiraiya, are you going to kill me?"

Jiu Xing felt the murderous intent emanating from the other party and looked at him calmly.

Jiu Xing didn't like Jiraiya.

Just like Jiraiya didn't like him.

It has been like this from the beginning to the end, from childhood to adulthood.

But he is Xun's teacher, and he promised Xun not to make things difficult for her.

After hearing what Jiu Xing said, Jiraiya couldn't help but fall silent, and then became a little depressed.

He couldn't do anything, and he couldn't move his hands.

"I will leave Konoha."

Jiraiya said this dejectedly, and disappeared alone in front of Jiu Xing.

Jiu Xing did not stop his thoughts.

This is very consistent with Jiraiya's personality.

escape.

Even though he thinks he is right, he cannot shoulder the responsibility and uses escape to cover up his cowardice.

This is not cowardice towards yourself, but cowardice towards others.

Afraid that I am not doing well enough, afraid that I will do something wrong, afraid that trouble will occur because of myself.

If there was a strong enemy of Konoha at this moment, Jiraiya believed that he would stand up without hesitation, as Jiraiya was not a person who was afraid of death.

He is afraid of others getting hurt, being disappointed, and suffering.

People are diverse, and it is undoubtedly foolish to only look at one person from one side.

What's more, Jiraiya is such a complex yet simple person.

His disciples from the Rain Country died, his disciples from Konoha disagreed with him, the person he loved got married, his teacher died, and his brother Orochimaru could not agree with him. The only ones who could be with him were Konoha and the Fire Country.

Konoha has changed a lot now, and even the Land of Fire seems to be changing subtly.

He can't accept it...

A pair of hands gently hugged Jiu Xing from behind.

From beginning to end, Xun never showed up.

She saw it all from beginning to end.

When Jiraiya showed his murderous intention towards Jiu Xing, her heart almost rose to her throat.

"It's embarrassing for you."

Xun rested his forehead against Jiu Xing's back, and it was unclear whether he was frustrated or had some other emotion in his words.

"Of course I remember what I promised you."

"Come to think of it, it's my fault that you have to bear such a great pressure."

Holding Xun's hand, Jiu Xing said softly.

"No, I'm already very happy that Jiu Xing can think of me and restrain herself."

Xun naturally knew what kind of person Jiuxing was. If Jiraiya had shown his murderous intention towards Jiuxing in the past, Jiuxing would not have killed Jiraiya, but would have definitely beaten him up severely.

Jiu Xing's kindness is only towards people close to him.

And Jiraiya obviously does not fall into this category.

"Kaoru, when we're done here, let's go explore other worlds with Nao."

Jiu Xing said.

"Yes, yes."

"But what about this side?"

Xun said hesitantly.

"Sister Tsunade is the fifth generation in the second parallel universe. How bad can her management skills be for someone who can be a Hokage?"

"Then I'll just give her the whole country."

Jiu Xing sold the pregnant Tsunade without hesitation.

"Pfft."

"If Sister Tsunade knew about this, she would beat you to death."

Xun scolded with a smile.

"He who can do it should work harder."

"Besides, she also wants to create a good life for her children, right?"

Jiu Xing turned around and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

"Then why don't you ask Sister Tsunade if she's willing."

Xun pursed his lips.

"At that time, we will leave a letter directly to Kato Dan. With Kato Dan's personality, he will try his best to make Sister Tsunade become Hokage."

Jiu Xing thought of a solution in a blink of an eye.

"You are such a bad guy!"
