Konoha Hits The Soul

Chapter 360: The Meaning of “Shadow”

“now?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, but quickly shook his head in denial.

“not the right time yet.”

He closed his eyes blankly.

“We still need to wait.”

“Wait?!”

Jiraiya frowned and stared at his teacher. The village enjoys the many beloved Hokage adults in the village: “In this situation, if we wait any longer, I am afraid that none of the team sent will survive.”

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen just raised his eyes, looked at Jiraiya quietly, and said, “Yes, I didn’t knock on the table this time. I have grown a lot.”

“…”

Jiraiya was silent, clenched his fists, and said after a long time, “What are you thinking about.”

“The big picture.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him and said peacefully: “If you can get the stability of the whole village by sacrificing a few people, then how would you choose? Jiraiya.”

“Do you have to make this choice?”

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said.

“You have been in war, Jiraiya.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: “You know how many people Konoha will die if there is a war.

Mature, like a politician, life is not a novel, it is not something you can really escape if you want to escape.

Only when all these people are dealt with can we lose the least. ”

“…”

Jiraiya was silent, his eyes full of struggle.

But this time.

Another scroll of intelligence was sent over, directly across Jiraiya, and delivered to Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“What happened…what?” Although I don’t know what happened, Jiraiya felt his heart tighten.

“The last piece of information from the exploration team.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen judged the final end of Jiraiya’s just “fight” with a blank face, and said at the same time:

“Send another team to do the final intelligence confirmation. If the degree of danger exceeds the limit we can bear, we will directly activate the third set of plans and destroy everything.”

“You want to send a team?”

Jiraiya shook his head in shock: “Isn’t it enough? Isn’t the information just enough? It’s clear that so many people have already been sacrificed, so is it still necessary to fill it with human lives.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the scroll in Jiraiya’s hand: “Of course, this is the fate of the ninja.”

“The fate of a ninja?”

Jiraiya squeezed the scroll tightly, took another deep breath, unrolled the scroll, and frowned.

There is only one piece of information.

The Cthulhu awakens, there is a high probability that he has released the seal and takes control of Gao Tianyuan.

“In other words, all our calculations are now a joke?”

Jiraiya’s expression was hard to look like: “With so much effort, even at the expense of so many people, did you get such a result?”

“Calm down, Jiraiya.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya: “The reason why you asked you to send another team is to confirm this information.

Inside it can be determined that there are Third Raikage and Third Tsuchikage. Even if the power of these two people can’t compete with Cthulhu, they will definitely be able to cause certain damage to Cthulhu.

Regardless of whether on both sides, whoever wins is beneficial and harmless to us.

If the Cthulhu wins, we will completely close Gao Tianyuan and never open it again.

If Raikage or Tsuchikage wins, we will send troops to seize everything and kill them here at the same time.

For at least five years, Cloud Shinobi and Rock Shinobi will no longer be a threat to us. ”

“But this is just your guess!”

Jiraiya growled. He couldn’t just ignore everything.

Even if he knew that the other party was right, he couldn’t ignore the subordinates he personally selected like a number.

“A guess is enough.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen still said blankly: “It is the meaning of shadow to take the initiative to grasp when it is possible to guess, and to make a choice when it is time to make a choice.

Even if you don’t like it, you have to accept it. Even if you can’t, you have to force yourself to do it.

Because your personal preferences are no longer meaningful, you represent the entire village, the entire Konoha, and even the entire country of fire.

Your every move affects the lives and lives of these people.

Jiraiya, you said that you want Minato to become Hokage, and you have to bear the darkness for Minato, but if that’s the case, it won’t work.

Wanting to be a shadow is not only to get the love of the villagers, but also to face the crisis outside the village, to catch everything that should be, and to bear the weight that it should not have. Only in this way can you be qualified to become a shadow.

This time I asked you to call Minato back, just to make you understand this truth. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed to his table: “Hokage is Konoha’s Hokage. If you want to sit in this position, you must first turn into a fire and bear everything.”

“I…I understand.”

A touch of loneliness flashed in Jiraiya’s eyes. He squeezed the scroll and put it back on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s table: “I will act as you said. As for Minato, let him witness a good world.”

Third Hokage looked at him in silence, then nodded.

“I hope you understand what you are doing, rather than just relying on blood.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, lit his pipe, stood up, looked out the window, and ignored Jiraiya.

For a time, it was extremely silent.

Jiraiya took a deep look at his rickety back, then turned back.

He tried to make his slightly declining look expressionless.

Then he walked out the door, looked at the men with root masks who had been waiting outside, and said coldly:

“Prepare the second communication team, the people below need support.”

The man nodded and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and left here.

Jiraiya closed his eyes.

Standing there quietly, there was no movement for a long time.

……

at the same time.

Within Gao Tianyuan.

The cold light of steel cast a sharp edge.

A large number of puppet troops gathered together, raising the mist in their hands one after another, and aimed at the strong old man with bare arms in front of him, revealing his murderous intent.

That is… Third Raikage.

Behind him, the people from Cloud Shinobi Village who came to explore are slowly backing away.

Only a man of the same size was guarding him.

That is the son of Third Raikage, Fourth Raikage in the future, Ai in the future.

“If I have a problem this time, the name’Ai’ will be handed over to you.”

“But……”

“Nothing but.”

Third Raikage smiled: “I have done a lot of right things in my life, and I have done a lot of wrong things at the same time. As your boss, I always hope to lead you to a better life, but the truth is not. As beautiful as imagined.

But at least, if one day, I really want to die, I hope I can die on the battlefield, because this is the fate I want. ”

He patted his son on the shoulder: “Let’s go, if I can’t go back, remember to be a good Raikage and a good boss.”

The man looked at him, then solemnly nodded his head.

Get up and fly back.

And at this moment.

The puppet army stepped forward again, slowly surrounding the lonely but not lonely strong old man in front of him.

“It doesn’t make people stop for a moment.”

Third Raikage sneered, pulled off the headscarf he was wearing forehead protector, treasured it into his clothes, then twisted his neck and looked at the puppet army in front of him:

“It’s just right, it’s been a long time since I had a good activity.”

The pair of eyes shining thunderously lifted up, swept past the puppets that disgusted him, and raised the corners of his mouth:

“It’s rare, let the old man have a good time.”
