Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"Heh~ Here comes Master Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya sneered evilly, attracting the attention of the audience nearby.

As many people know, Jiraiya and the Uchiha Yashiro seemed to have some conflicts and were verbally disparaged.

Do you support Jiraiya or Uchiha?

Need I say more? Jiraiya comes from a humble background, a pure and honest person.

Uchiha? Just a rebel who hasn't defected yet~

"Come on Jiraiya!"

Without the support of his teammates Orochimaru and Tsunade, there will naturally be other audiences supporting Jiraiya.

Jiraiya imitated Orochimaru's cold expression, waved slightly to the audience, and then stepped onto the railing.

He is not as skilled in the art of instantaneous movement as Orochimaru, so he wants to choose a heroic way to debut.

But Jiraiya is a bit short.

Paji——

"Ouch! Why are the railings so high?!"

Jiraiya fell headfirst onto the ground.

The audience fell silent again, unlike the silence just now, as everyone was trying hard not to laugh.

After all, they support Jiraiya.

Of course, there are definitely some people who can’t help themselves.

One "haha" can lead to a lot of "haha", laughter is contagious.

Jiraiya was feeling very embarrassed at first, but when he stood up he heard laughter from the whole room and couldn't help but laugh along.

"Idiot, I heard you're very powerful, but...just you?"

On the opposite side, Uchiha Yashiro crossed his arms, looking very impressive. He slowly opened his eyes, and the two magatama in his eyes were slowly rotating.

There was endless contempt in his blood-red eyes; he didn't even think highly of Jiraiya.

"Calling that Orochimaru from earlier would be a bit of a head start, but you? You're not qualified."

"Hey! You pink-eyed fellow, I admit that Orochimaru is very strong! But! Do you think you can fight against that guy Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya laughed heartily, shook his finger at Uchiha Yashiro, and said with feigned contempt: "I'm no worse than Orochimaru, but what about you? I don't think you're a match for Orochimaru!"

"There's more."

Jiraiya slowly walked towards the Uchiha Eighth Hokage. As he took step forward, the ugly appearance of his fall just now gradually disappeared, replaced by a determined face and a serious attitude.

"Are you worthy enough to imitate that guy Orochimaru? You don't look like him at all~ You're so far behind!"

The two people's tit-for-tat words instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Through word of mouth and communication, many people learned about the conflict between Jiraiya and Uchiha Yashiro, and couldn't help but look forward to this battle even more.

"A crude imitator."

Kozo said from Tsunade's shoulder.

"I guess Jiraiya meant to say that, but his vocabulary is a bit lacking."

Tsunade stared at Gu Zang on her shoulder with dead eyes.

"Mr. Gu Zang, there's no need to be so detailed."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded to Gu Zang, because agreeing with Jiraiya's words was equivalent to agreeing with Orochimaru. The recognition from the senior was an encouragement even for Orochimaru.

Hiruzen was smoking his old pipe, with one arm resting on the railing, looking at Jiraiya and Uchiha Yashiro in the field.

There is no need to say much about Jiraiya, but Hiruzen actually has an impression of the eighth Uchiha.

Because when the Konoha Guard was first established, the Eighth Hokage was the only Uchiha clan member who joined the guard as a Genin.

You should know that the Konoha Guard, in addition to guarding the gate, is also responsible for maintaining the daily order of Konoha Village.

Although the Uchiha group is likely to be disruptors of order, in order to exist as an ordinary armed force, they must have at least a core level of strength, which means they must have at least the strength of a Chunin.

Therefore, the Eighth Uchiha can definitely be regarded as the leader of this generation of Uchiha.

He has talents that are recognized by his fellow tribesmen.

In order to respond to the call of the first generation, almost every major family in Konoha will send children of appropriate age to study in Konoha School.

Although most of the family members do not go to school, for example, in a big family like the Uchiha family, the children of the main lineage such as the head of the family and the elders do not go to school, they only need to study in the family.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's son also did not go to ninja school, but studied and trained at the Sarutobi family, and was determined to join the Anbu in the future.

This was a preferential treatment decided upon when the village was founded, as a compensation for the unified family joining Konoha.

If the major families wanted to join the development of Konoha, it would naturally not be possible to rely on Hashirama Senju's personal charm. At the beginning of the village construction, some existing interests were divided up.

For example, the Sarutobi clan's fire-style ninjutsu and knowledge monopoly, the Nara clan's sale of medical herbs, or the Akimichi clan's food distribution.

If you want cohesion, you must bind the major families together in power and interests, so that they will prosper and suffer together. Otherwise, no one will work for you, right?

Some of the children of these big families do not need to go to school or take exams. When they reach a certain age and their strength is similar, they will be directly given the status of Chunin.

As for the status of a Jonin, it does not require study and exams, but the accumulation of countless tasks and resumes.

The eighth generation of the Uchiha clan was not a descendant of the main branch of the Uchiha clan, but a descendant of the side branch.

Although the Uchiha clan is arrogant and not harmonious among themselves, these people are relatively straightforward. The most obvious manifestation of this is that they recognize the strong.

The eighth generation of Uchiha graduated from the Ninja Academy. He may not have much say within the family, but he is already well-known in the Konoha Guard and has many supporters.

Similarly, Uchiha Kagami, who joined the Hokage Guard, couldn't even say that he was sure to win against him, which shows his strength.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were flying, Mito Kado En had already announced the start of the competition.

Jiraiya and the Uchiha Eighth Hokage did not rush towards each other immediately, but kept their distance.

Jiraiya knew that the Uchiha should not be underestimated, and the eighth Uchiha had also studied Jiraiya a little since that day.

Originally an unknown civilian servant, after being accepted as a disciple by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he seemed to soar to fame. Not only did he have a good reputation, but he was also very powerful.

The eighth generation of the Uchiha clan is arrogant, but not stupid. He may verbally belittle his opponents, but he doesn't really think that Jiraiya is a piece of cake.

"Hmm? Uchiha! What are you afraid of?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but shout when he saw Uchiha Yadaime also retreating.

The eighth generation of Uchiha ignored Jiraiya. His eyes were fixed on Jiraiya's figure, and his hands were gathered in front of his chest, forming seals quickly.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Just as Jiraiya was speaking, a fireball came towards him at a very fast speed.

Jiraiya was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and used a water wall to block the incoming fireball.

The temptation is over.

but...

"Mr. Kozo, why is Jiraiya standing there in a daze?"

"Alas... This idiot was immediately caught in the Sharingan's illusion..."
