Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

"For the sake of the stability of the village, I have no choice but to make this decision. I will suffer the Uchiha for a while, and when the time comes, I will naturally transfer the Uchiha clan back to the center of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said it very nicely. He did not say that he would not let Uchiha come back, but that the time was not up.

"I'm surprised. It's not like our Uchiha clan dug up other people's ancestral graves. Why, in my time, I felt that the village seemed to be very prejudiced against our Uchiha clan.

"I thought it would slowly get better as time went by, but decades later, instead of getting better, it actually got worse."

Aokiji said with some excitement: "Aren't we companions? Why don't we even have this little trust? Don't we, the Uchiha clan, shed enough blood every time on the battlefield?"

Qing Pheasant's words aroused strong feelings among the three tribesmen behind him.

"This is my incompetence."

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept his attitude very low, and it was easy to win favor. Coupled with the previous misunderstanding, this made everyone present almost unconditionally believe what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Hokage-sama, you don't need to explain, we believe you."

"That's right, that's right."

At this time, a reasonable guest jumped out and said: "Everyone is doing this for this village, and no one is silently contributing. How come you, the Uchiha clan, talk so much and are so distrusted? First think about yourself." question, whether you have done something wrong, whether you have worked hard, and less blame others and prejudice.”

After hearing the above, Fugaku could still hold back his anger by clenching his fists, but Yashiro and Ino couldn't bear it. They opened their Sharingan in excitement and glared:

"Asshole——! Who do you think didn't do a good job?"

In the public place, with so many eyes staring at him, the sarcastic ninja just now felt confident: "Why, if you don't work hard, why don't you tell me?"

Another person helped: "That's right, others may be afraid of you, the Uchiha clan, but I am a lonely person with no worries, so I am not afraid of you."

How could Yashiro and Ino endure such a provocation?

He immediately said that he was going to fight.

Let this rude guy see the power of the urban management team.

Qingzhi waved his hand to stop the two men whose brains were congested.

"Lord Aoji!"

Yashiro and Ino opened their eyes wide and shouted one after another to express their dissatisfaction.

The sarcastic ninja smiled proudly.

Aokiji closed his eyes for a while and said, "Good, very good." When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned and didn't understand what Aokiji was talking about. Given Aokiji's personality, shouldn't he fight back immediately when his own people were insulted?

Why are you still cheering?

While everyone was wondering about this, Aokiji continued to speak, making a loud noise: "Since everyone knows that we Uchiha are not so prejudiced, from now on, we, the Uchiha clan, will announce our withdrawal from the Konoha Guard."

"W-what-!"

After hearing these words, everyone including the top management of Konoha became uneasy.

Those jounin who were talking so much never thought that Aokiji would choose to lead his tribe to be so hard-hearted and directly announce his withdrawal from the Konoha Guard.

"Hey, Aokiji!" At this time, even Jiraiya couldn't help but speak.

"Aoji, calm down." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"calm?

Aokiji, representing the Uchiha clan, said angrily: "We, the Uchiha clan, are all heartbroken."

"Aojiha, don't do anything stupid. Are you going to lead the Uchiha to rebel against the village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen made the first impression, and determined the matter first, and then everyone had an impression and subconsciously formed it.

"I didn't rebel against the village. Don't talk nonsense."

Aoki immediately denied: "Konoha was founded jointly by Senju and Uchiha. Anyone can rebel against the village, but we, the Uchiha, are the only ones who cannot rebel against the village."

Aoji looked like he was still angry. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that persuasion was useless. He looked at the other speaker, paying great attention to his speaking skills and speaking from the perspective of the other person:

"Fugaku, although Aokiji is your elder, you are the clan leader now. Do you really want to see your efforts in establishing the Uchiha clan go to waste?"

The Konoha Guard is a tool used by the village to observe every move, but Aokiji cannot be withdrawn so easily. This will make the Uchiha clan develop in an uncontrollable direction.

"Hokage-sama, I am no longer the clan leader."

Fugaku smiled bitterly: "The decision lies in Aoki's hands, I have no right to interfere."

"What--!"

These remarks caused an uproar in the audience.

The Uchiha clan actually changed its clan leader.

Among them, the top management of Konoha were the most shocked.

When did the Uchiha clan change its leader?

How come there is no reply from the Uchiha and Uchiha bulls?

Is it...

"I am getting older and I am no longer capable. In addition, in the past I was always busy with work and neglected my family. In the future, I plan to spend more time with my family. Therefore, I plan to hand over the position of patriarch to Qing Pheasant. With his prestige, I don’t think there will be any The tribe is against it.”

Everyone complained in their hearts, Qingzhi must be younger than you.

After Fugaku finished explaining, he added an additional sentence: "Originally, it would take a few days for this kind of thing to be announced.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the spy was not exposed. He then asked: "Does everyone else in the Uchiha clan know?"

Fugaku shook his head: "Only the four of us know about this matter."

"Put aside other reasons." Sarutobi Hiruzen advised: "We hope you will calm down and withdraw from the Konoha Guard. Such a big matter must be discussed with the entire clan."

Fugaku responded: "In a few days, I think Aokiji will listen carefully to everyone's opinions at the clan meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to play the emotional card: "In short, I hope you will calm down and don't act out of emotion. Konoha Guards, after all, this is your hard work for many years."

"Well, when Qing Pheasant's anger subsides, I will try to persuade him again."

Fugaku still needs to do some superficial work.

◎

After the meeting, Jiraiya found Aokiji alone.

Aoki said to Fugaku and the others behind him: "You should go back first, I have something to say."

After the three of them left, Aokiji and Jiraiya found a secluded place to talk.

"Tell me, what do you want to say to me?" Qing Zhi crossed his arms and leaned against the big tree.

Chapter 383: Jiraiya Knows the Truth

Chapter 383 Jiraiya knows the truth

Jiraiya looked at Aokiji's face. The two were so close that he could touch them if he just took one more step forward.

But it's just one step away, but it's out of reach.

It was as if there was a pitifully thick barrier between the two of them. This feeling was the same as when Orochimaru betrayed the village.

"You should know what I want to ask you." Jiraiya asked.

Aokiji exhaled and sneered with explicit sarcasm: "Instead of asking me, don't you think it's more important to ask what your good teacher did to me and what he did to Tsunade."

"W-what."

Jiraiya opened his eyes wide and his face was full of shock. After a few sounds, he opened his heavy lips and said, "Here, what exactly happened."

"There are some things you'd better not know."

Qing Zhi slowly closed his eyes: "For someone with your personality, knowing this will only increase your worries."

"Ao Pheasant..." Jiraiya opened his mouth, wanting to stop talking.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave. Unlike you, who likes Xianyun Yehe, I am very busy."

Aoki turned around and walked away, leaving Jiraiya with a lonely figure.

Jiraiya was stuck on the spot, his hand stretched out into the void, as if trying to grab something, he opened his five fingers, and after a while, the hand stretched out into the void dropped down feebly.

Jiraiya lowered his head and lowered his eyes, saying in a low voice: "Old man..."

◎

Hokage's office building, conference room inside.

The four old men who were in a meeting raised their heads and looked at the door.

There was an argument coming from which direction.

"and many more……"

"Jiraiya-sama, you can't go in..."

"Hokage-sama and the others are having a meeting..."

……

Ignoring the guards' obstruction, Jiraiya roughly opened the door and glanced around, finally landing on an old man wearing a white robe.

The guard neglected his duty and did not stop Jiraiya. He stood at the door, looked at the old man in the room, knelt down on one knee, and just said something about despicable neglect of duty and hoping that the Hokage would be punished.

Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed the tolerance of his superiors: "It's hard for you, go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already expected that Jiraiya would come here, and had even laid out the plan.

"Yes."

The guard quickly stood up and left.

Jiraiya stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said with a straight face: "Old man, I have something to ask you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while, and then his eyes signaled to the people around him to avoid suspicion, leaving him alone to talk to Jiraiya.

Mito Kado and Koharu, who moved to bed, stood up and left their seats without asking any questions, and walked away slowly with their legs.

Danzo sat in his seat and refused to move his buttocks.

"Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and urged.

"This happened not because of you, but because of me."

Danzo's act of taking the blame made Jiraiya frown, wondering why this matter had anything to do with Danzo again.

After the others left, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Danzo were the only three people left in the room.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the air. Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly spoke, breaking the oppressive silence: "Jiraiya, you are here for Aokiji's matter."

Jiraiya remained silent, waiting for them to take the initiative to tell the truth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and looked embarrassed. He took a deep breath for a long time as if he was preparing to say something. Then just when he was about to tell the truth "truthfully", Danzo interrupted him from further speaking.

"Hiruzhan, you don't need to talk about this, just let me do it."

Danzo plays the role of a bad guy, paving the way for and even highlighting the image of Sarutobi Hiruzen who knows nothing and is kept in the dark.

Danzo probed in a deep voice: "Jiraiya, in your opinion, what kind of person is Aokiji?"

Before officially deceiving Jiraiya, Danzo had to accurately determine whether Jiraiya had gone to look for Aokiji and how much he knew about the truth, so that he could proceed with the conversation. Jiraiya frowned, not understanding Danzo's intentions. He could only give an image of Aokiji based on his impression and organize his words, but the words slipped back on the tip of his tongue.

He can no longer understand Qing Pheasant: "I...I don't know. But I know that he is not a bad person."

Danzo didn't explain good guys and bad guys because it was useless. The best way to convince a person is to present factual evidence and let him make his own judgment.

So, he started to do the next thing: "You know, Qing Pheasant is sometimes too childish?"

Jiraiya's expression was stunned, and he couldn't tell which song Danzo was singing: "Childish?"

"What is a child? A child means that if you treat him well, he will treat you well, but if you treat him badly, he will treat you badly."

"Is there any problem with this?" Jiraiya said, "I think most people are like this."

Danzo sighed: "There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but the problem is that Aokiji is too childish, and children often do things without considering the consequences."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiraiya with a solemn look and said, "Do you still remember when the son of the Fire Country's daimyo was kidnapped?"

The son of the Fire Nation Daimyo was kidnapped?
