Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Wonderful...

But forget about this bad luck, Qing Zhi decided to just let nature take its course and not interfere.

(End of this chapter)

377. Chapter 377 Yes, I did it, what’s wrong?

Chapter 377 Yes, I did it, what’s wrong?

Konoha, in front of the open door.

Entering middle age, Jiraiya stood at the door with a greasy face.

He was wearing a gray corset, a red coat, and wooden clogs on his feet, looking casual.

Not long ago, I received news from the village that the village will hold an annual end-of-year meeting. At that time, all jounin-level ninjas with branches in various places will return to the village to report on their work.

These are all commonplace things. Originally, Jiraiya wanted to avoid this kind of thing and just go to leisurely clouds and cranes as usual.

But one person was mentioned in the letter so much that he had to go back to the village to hold this meeting.

When the guard saw him and recognized him, he was stunned for a moment, then became excited, and shouted respectfully: "Jiraiya-sama..."

Feeling the admiring looks from his juniors, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh. Time flies so fast. Before he knew it, he had transformed from a young boy to a middle-aged uncle who was over fifty years old.

I don’t know what that guy has become, but he must be an uncle like himself.

Jiraiya sighed, entered the village, and walked to the conference room building. Along the way, he looked at the young and beautiful young women in the village. He subconsciously compared them with the young women outside, thinking that the girls in his own village were more beautiful.

I was thinking as I walked, and before I knew it, I entered the large conference room.

There are already many people here, most of them wearing uniform green vests, but there are also men and women who occasionally wear their own clothes.

As soon as Jiraiya entered the room, he quickly attracted everyone's attention and became the most handsome boy in the conference room. Seeing Jiraiya's rare return, they all shouted out his name and the honorific title "Sir" to him.

At this time, a masked young man walked towards him and said hello.

He had white hair, and the forehead protector was not properly worn and hung diagonally on his forehead, covering half of his face, revealing a dead fish eye that he had not woken up from.

"Kakashi..."

Jiraiya saw the person coming and smiled: "Long time no see."

He has a close relationship with Kakashi. Minato, the Fourth Hokage, is his student, and Kakashi is a student of the Fourth Hokage. In a sense, he is Kakashi's ancestor.

"It's really rare, Lord Jiraiya, to appear here this time."

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was chatting.

It was no secret that Jiraiya was often away from the village.

"You should go back to the village occasionally, otherwise the old man should complain." Jiraiya was very carefree, without any airs of superiority.

"I think it's because of that person."

When the lie was exposed directly, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile, "You really don't give me any face..."

"After all, it's easy to guess."

"So...where is that person?"

Jiraiya glanced around the conference room, but did not see the figure of his former friend: "I haven't seen him yet. There is no way he can use me for fun."

Kakashi was about to respond when there was a commotion nearby.

Looking in the direction, a young man with plain hair and blue eyes was walking towards him. Behind him, there were three middle-aged people following him. They were following him, and they thought it was the young master of the family who was traveling.

Jiraiya also noticed this boy with plain hair and blue eyes, and was a little confused about who this kid was. He looked so arrogant.

And if he remembered correctly the people behind him.

Those were Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Inui, both of whom were top-notch masters in the Uchiha.

And the man with a solemn face among them is Uchiha Fugaku, which is even more remarkable. He is the leader of the Uchiha clan. Who can let such a person follow him? Who is this young man?

Jiraiya rubbed his chin, vaguely feeling that this white-haired boy looked familiar to him, but unfortunately he couldn't remember it for a while.

Kakashi smiled and said: "Haha, isn't this coming?"

Jiraiya, who was confused, was stunned when he heard these words. The figure in his pupils slowly overlapped with the figure in the past, forming a childish face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya wiped his eyes with his sleeves and looked at Aokiji with a look of disbelief on his face.

Transformation?

No, I didn't get that feeling from him.

Besides, there was no reason for him to be like this.

Damn it.

Why is this guy getting younger and younger as he lives?

what is happening.

On one side, Jiraiya was looking at Aokiji's affairs. On the other side, Aokiji also noticed Jiraiya. When he saw it was him, he was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Jiraiya..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened: "It's really you..."

Qingzhi nodded, admitting it.

"How did you become like this, and where have you been all these years."

Hearing Jiraiya raise this question, everyone around him cast curious glances, or consciously pricked their ears.

Fugaku glanced at Aokiji and saw him respond in an ambiguous tone: "It's a long story."

Jiraiya realized that this might not be a topic to discuss openly, so he immediately gave up.

Those around me who were very interested in this topic could only give up in frustration.

Aoki looked at the increasing wrinkles at the corners of Jiraiya's face: "You, on the other hand, have aged a lot."

Jiraiya looked at his friend who was as tall as his waist and wanted to complain.

It's really unfair. Why is it that I am getting older as I live, while this guy in front of me is indeed getting younger and younger.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two stood chatting for a while. As the number of people gradually arrived, they realized that the meeting would be held soon, so they stopped chatting and found a seat to sit down.

After that, four old men entered the room. When everyone saw them, they stopped talking and fell silent, watching them walk up the steps and sit down at a rectangular table one by one.

Qing Zhi, who was sitting on the chair, clasped his hands, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and his blue pupils were dyed blood red, focusing his gaze.

As if he was being stared at by some cold-blooded animal, Danzo in his seat was keenly aware of it, and suddenly noticed a pair of cold eyes below.

This guy... Danzo was not afraid at all and fought back with his gaze.

He would not show fear in front of Uchiha.

Unexpectedly, the young man Aokiji had no moral principles and directly upgraded his Sharingan. The three magatama connected together and gathered into blood-red snow.

Even without using the power of the pupils, the oppression exerted by the powerful Mangekyo Sharingan alone was enough to make Danzo feel uncomfortable. He dared not look directly at it, turned his face away, and was defeated.

"Humph."

The corners of Qingzhi's mouth rose, and the blood-red eyes faded into green beady eyes.

The two people's eyes met for a short time. No one present noticed the smoke that just happened, but one person noticed it, it was Jiraiya who was sitting next to him.

It is not an ordinary three-magatama Sharingan, but a more complex pattern that has never been seen before.

This is... the Mangekyo Sharingan!?

"Qing Pheasant, you..."

Jiraiya's eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly open.

Aokiji tilted his head, smiled, and looked puzzled.

"No, nothing."

Jiraiya evaded the question, his expression becoming serious.

He wasn't wrong just now. Aokiji's cold eyes definitely showed that he wanted to kill someone.

After the meeting is over, it seems I need to have a private chat with this long-lost friend.

After that, the meeting officially began. The elders on the stage began to speak, mostly about future development as in the past, and then the people in the audience made some suggestions in real time.

Then, the elderly person on the stage listened, considered whether to adopt it, and gave a response.

In addition, representatives from each major clan will also put forward demands that are beneficial to their own clan at this meeting.

For example, the typical Uchiha clan, they were very active in previous years, but unfortunately they were all rejected for various reasons.

Seeing the Uchiha clan encountering such a situation, some people feel sorry for them, but they will not speak for them.

On the one hand, the Uchiha clan does not get along well with the villagers. On the other hand, the village's cake is only so big. If the Uchiha clan gets more, they will get less.

Naturally, I turned a blind eye to it.

However, this year the Uchiha clan was unusually quiet, not saying a word, as if they were just spectators, which attracted the attention of everyone present, especially those from the big clans.

Is it because you know it’s useless to mention it, so you just give up this time?

This is what the representatives of the big families thought in their hearts.

At this time, a ninja stood up and expressed his opinion that the village's future development strategy should still be based on continuing the past strategy of recuperation and development, minimizing friction and maintaining good relations with all countries.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took advantage of the situation and asked everyone present for their opinions.

Everyone present expressed no objection to this matter.

After all, who would want to fight after having nothing better to do?

But this is actually very difficult. Many times, it is not that they want to cause trouble, but that external forces covet the territory of the Fire Nation. As a village with close ties with the Fire Nation, they have to fight back to defend their country.

After reaching a consensus, Sarutobi Hiruzen set the tone for the matter: "For the sake of peace in the village, I hope everyone here will work together to maintain the hard-earned peace. Do not act on your own to avoid unnecessary conflicts that could lead to war."

This statement was met with unanimous response from everyone present: "Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and when he seemed to be about to let the matter go, another voice sounded beside him.

"and many more……"

Everyone was slightly startled, their eyes focused on Danzo who was standing beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, their faces showing confusion.

Danzo said what the leader could not: "Huruzen, are you forgetting something?"

Hiruzen remained silent, waiting for Danzo to speak up.

Danzo cursed inwardly.

Hiruzen always tried to completely disown himself, taking all the blame. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "I recently received some information..."

"Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended to be hypocritical and performed for everyone, as if he was trying to stop something.

Danzo ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's attempts to stop him, his face darkening as he spoke bluntly, "A guy went out without permission and caused a ruckus in Kusagakure Village, causing a lot of trouble there. Now they've sent people here, demanding an explanation from us."

When the people below heard that someone in the village had actually done such a thing, they showed surprised expressions and occasionally whispered to each other, speculating who might have done it.

Fugaku half-closed his eyes, what was supposed to come finally came.

He glanced at the man and saw that he had his arms folded across his chest, his face calm and expressionless, and it was obvious that he didn't care at all about the matter.

Everyone looked at him with curiosity, eagerly waiting for an answer. Danzo didn't say anything, but just silently set his eyes on one person. Following his gaze, everyone saw a white-haired boy with a calm face.

It turned out to be him...!

There was confusion and even surprise in many eyes.

Aokiji closed his eyes, exhaled, loosened his arms that were clasped in front of his chest, lowered his head, and casually swept the dust away with his hands. Although there was no dust on the table, it was very clean.

"Yes, I did it, what's wrong?"

Aokiji raised his face, tilted his neck, and put on a confused expression.

"what happened?"

Before Danzo could say anything, Mitomon En beside him couldn't sit still anymore and asked loudly, "Don't you know that this will provoke a war between the two countries?"

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."
