Crossing Naruto: Becoming a Perfect Jinchūriki

As Deidara fell into the illusion, Naruto and the others continued to talk and say goodbye.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I have made up my mind. I will stay here and help those who are suffering." Nagato said firmly.

"But... Well, never mind. Since this is your choice, we respect you." Jiraiya sighed helplessly. He knew that Nagato had made up his mind and no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

"Yes, Senior Brother Nagato, if you have really decided, then do it. I believe you can do it." Naruto also agreed, but his heart was full of regret.

In the end, Naruto and Jiraiya could only say goodbye to Nagato and Konan with regret.

"Nagato, Konan, I will come to see you often." Jiraiya said goodbye reluctantly.

"Yes, Senior Brother Nagato, Senior Sister Konan, Sensei Jiraiya and I will come to visit you often." Naruto said with a smile.

Naruto then took out a kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark and gave it to Konan for safekeeping: "Sister Konan, use this to contact me if you are in danger."

"Thank you, Naruto." Konan took the kunai and put it away carefully.

"Teacher Jiraiya, Naruto, goodbye." Konan pushed Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said goodbye with a smile.

Looking at their departing backs, Naruto silently wished them safety.

Jiraiya was deeply moved and was pleased to see the changes in Nagato. He hoped that Nagato and Konan could live a good life in the Hidden Rain Village.

Finally, Naruto and his crew embarked on the journey back to Konoha.

……

Inside the Konoha Hokage's office.

Tsunade sat on the podium, her arms folded across her chest, a look of helplessness on her face.

Standing below were the F4 of Konoha - Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

Naruto couldn't help laughing as he watched the scene in front of him. He felt that this moment was full of humor.

"Brother, Tsunade, Monkey, and the Fourth Hokage, hello." Tobirama broke the silence and spoke first.

"Tobirama, I heard that you died from excessive chakra consumption in the battle with Kinkaku and Ginkaku. I always tell you not to study forbidden techniques all the time and to practice chakra more. Now you see you died." Hashirama said seriously.

"Brother, if you weren't dead, how could I die!!" Tobirama roared angrily.

"Ahahaha..." Hashirama touched the back of his head, too embarrassed to know how to respond.

"Oh, by the way, Minato, I haven't even asked you how you died?" Hashirama asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

"As for me, I died because of sealing the Nine-Tails." Minato answered casually.

"??? Can't the Nine-Tailed Fox be caught with one hand?" Hashirama asked in confusion.

"Brother, do you think everyone is like you?" Tobirama rolled his eyes.

"Haha, that's true." Hashirama scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Monkey, I have walked all the way from the entrance of Konoha Village and found that the people of Konoha live and work in peace and contentment. It seems that you have done a good job when I passed the position of Hokage to you. By the way, where is Danzo?" Tobirama said with relief.

When Hiruzen heard what Tobirama said, his old face turned red and he stammered, not knowing how to face it.

Tsunade began to blame. "Second Grandfather, you don't know that Danzo has committed many evil deeds and is already dead. After you left, the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War broke out.

Konoha was seriously declining under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utatane Koharu and Mito Enmon. Even when Konoha was victorious, Hiruzen cowardly gave in again and again, just for the sake of peace, regardless of Konoha's development. "

"What!! Monkey!!" Tobirama looked at Hiruzen in front of him angrily and shouted harshly.

When Hiruzen saw Tobirama getting angry, he suddenly became younger and was so scared that he trembled all over like a grandson.

Because Tobirama is a very important person in Hiruzen's heart. He was the person he was supposed to protect before, the person who passed the position of Hokage to him, and his teacher.

Seeing this, Naruto smiled and helped Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Second generation, don’t be too angry, it’s actually not that bad, Konoha has indeed declined without you;

But at that time, the other four major ninja villages were almost all targeting Konoha, and the third-generation grandfather was able to support Konoha until it rose up, and he had done a very good job.

He also trained three ninjas. Now that he is old, he has volunteered to be the principal of the Ninja School for the development of Konoha, just to train the next generation of Konoha. "

Naruto spoke from the bottom of his heart. In fact, Naruto knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had made many mistakes, especially after his father Namikaze Minato passed away, Konoha's development was greatly hindered;

However, the tragic extermination of the Uchiha clan has not yet happened. Overall, Sarutobi Hiruzen's contribution to the village is still invaluable.

In addition, since the death of Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya and Tsunade have both thought about returning to Konoha and taking on the position of Hokage. If they were willing to succeed the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably have agreed to them at the time.

As for the other people in Konoha, Naruto felt that it would be better to let Sarutobi Hiruzen continue.

If Danzo, Fugaku, Hiashi or others were allowed to serve as Hokage, Konoha would probably fall into chaos, let alone lead Konoha to prosperity.

Although Shikaku is extremely intelligent, he lacks sufficient strength to suppress the forces of all parties.

"Naruto...thank you." Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Naruto's words, his heart full of emotion and moved. He looked at Naruto with gratitude, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Second generation, Naruto is right. If the Third generation had not taken the Book of Sealing and taught me Flying Thunder God, our Konoha might not have won the Third Ninja World War." The kind-hearted father Minato also helped the Third generation.

"Yes, Nidaime, if it weren't for Sensei Sarutobi, we Konoha might not have won the Second Ninja World War." Sensei Jiraiya also helped.

When Tsunade heard that Jiraiya actually spoke up for Sarutobi Hiruzen, she clenched her fists tightly and trembled slightly with anger. She stared at Jiraiya with wide eyes angrily, making Jiraiya shiver.

"Naruto, Minato, and Jiraiya..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was very moved as he watched the scene in front of him;

He said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you for speaking well of me, but I just did what I should do; but I did do a lot of wrong things."

"monkey! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled and looked at Tobirama again.

"Good job, thank you for your hard work."

Tobirama gently patted Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder and said softly: "I have a general understanding of the matter."

In fact, when returning to Konoha Village, Tobirama had already discussed with Jiraiya the development of Konoha after his death.

After losing himself and his elder brother, Konoha was indeed a difficult challenge for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, the four major ninja villages were not all a mob. There were a lot of ninjas, and their second-generation Kage leaders were research talents just like him.

Each of them developed a unique ninjutsu, such as Dust Release, Boiling Release, Lightning Release Armor, and Puppetry, etc.

"No, Tobirama-sensei, I was wrong. If it weren't for Naruto and Tsunade, Konoha wouldn't be what it is today."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Tobirama's recognition of him, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he hurriedly wiped away his tears.

"Monkey, don't think like that. You are the Hokage I personally designated!" Tobirama patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Teacher Tobirama, thank you. I will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted excitedly.
