Konoha Village, Yamanaka flower shop.

As the patriarch of the Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Haiyi is not so distressed to rely on the flower shop to make money to subsidize the family. This flower shop is an industry passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch of the Yamanaka clan. First, this is the Third Generation. Konoha's history is less than 60 years!

Yamanaka Hyichi’s wife is responsible for daily care of the flower shop. There is a recruited girl to help in the shop, and the baby girl looks like a big girl after school in the ninja school. She will help in the flower shop after school. By the way, I hugged my mother's arm and said private words like "Sasuke in class is so handsome."

Yamanaka Keiichi, who learned that her baby girl had a favorite in the ninja school, was shocked. He took his good friend Nara to the pub to buy drunk, and when he was drunk, he was embarrassed and cried on the street. Fortunately, his good friend Nara Lujiu was very reliable. Before Yamanaka Haiichi did something more embarrassing, he directly controlled him with shadow mimicry and quickly left the street.

Otherwise, maybe many intelligence ninjas in the village are going to experience the disillusionment of idols the next day!

"Oh! What can I do in the future!"

The gentle woman who is sitting behind the counter with the illustration has her thoughts farther, as if she has seen how ‘lively’ the future daughter will be when she gets married.

"jingle!"

The bell on the store door slammed into it.

The woman put away her thoughts about the future and stood up with a gentle smile on her face. She raised her eyes to the customers who entered the store. What came in was a tall old man with long white hair falling down. There are two long red marks under his eyes on the back of his waist. There are brown clothes in the red gown, wooden clogs on his feet, and his voice is clear and loud as he walks.

"Old sir, what flowers do you need?"

The woman always felt that the old man in front of her was a bit familiar, but she was married not long after graduating from the ninja school. Her social circle was not broad. After searching for people she knew, she did not find out the identity of the old man. .

Of course, the little confusion in her mind didn't make her behave.

"Just give me a bunch of white chrysanthemums."

The man’s voice is low, his expression is solemn, coupled with the request... the smile on the woman’s face fades, her expression suddenly becomes very solemn, and she chooses a bunch of white chrysanthemums, packs them, and sends them. The man has nothing to spare. After paying the money, he left.

Looking at the back with white hair, the woman suddenly remembered what happened when she was a student of a ninja school many years ago. Shortly after the end of World War II, the principal of the ninja school invited the famous [Sannin] Come to the school to speak to the students.

At that time, she had seen 90% similar backs. What she once saw was flying self-confidence, but now her back seems to have gone through the vicissitudes of life.

"Master Jiraiya?"

The woman's eyes widened in amazement.

I finally remembered this big figure who had not returned to Konoha for a long time. She hurriedly let the girl who helped see the shop. She hurriedly went out and went back to the family land of the Yamanaka clan, and brought Master Jiraiya to the flower shop. The purchase of flowers was told to the elders of the clan. The elder did not dare to neglect, and went to see Yamanaka Kaiichi himself.

Then,

Only then did Konoha's executives learn that one of the [Sannin] Jiraiya had returned to the village.

"Jiraiya is back!"

Akamichi sat down on the large office chair and sighed in a complicated tone.

Nara Shikahisa and Yamanaka Yamanaka didn't know what to say. Hyuga Hiashi and Aburame Zhiwei, who felt that it was nothing to say, had nothing to say, so they responded with silence.

Aburame Zhiwei has returned from the front line,

The frontline war was over, he did not join the mission of Zongxian organization, and Zhihei could represent their clan, and he and Akamichi Dingza returned to the village with a victory.

"Since Jiraiya is back, my agent, Hokage, seems to be able to take off the burden at last." Akamichi took the wind and showed a relieved expression, but everyone was still silent and couldn't agree with him. "Hokage My lord, you are right. I also think your old man should go home for the elderly, right?" Nara Shikajiu and their brains are broken.

Looking at the silent people, Akamichi sighed slightly, he also understood why the people were silent.

Isn't he in a complicated mood?

What it's like to be a Hokage can only be experienced by sitting on it in person. Akamichi doesn't know how to describe the taste of Hokage, but he somewhat understands why Sarutobi firmly holds the authority of Hokage. Ken let go.

"Lu Jiu, let's talk about it! What should we do next? We can't just sit here and do nothing."

Of course,

Akamichi took the wind and turned his attention to Nara Shikahisa who was a "think tank".

Nara Lujiu feels a bit of a headache, but fortunately, as a smart person, how can he not know that the trouble will ultimately fall on him? There was silence for two seconds, after reminiscing about the prepared belly script, then he said: "Master Jiraiya returned to the village alone, and none of the Anbu sent out to find Master Jiraiya came back. This matter... I’m afraid it’s not as simple as we thought."

Akamichi froze for a moment.

He really didn't notice these details.

"Is there anything wrong with this matter?" Akamichi frowned. He and Jiraiya, a disciple of Sarutobi, are not familiar with each other. His knowledge of Jiraiya is limited to one of Sannin. He is extremely powerful and has high prestige in the village. This level.

"Jiraiya-sama, he is a bit casual."

Nara Luji thought it over and over again and chose the subtle adjective ‘casual’.

"casual?"

Akamichi can catch the flies even if he frowns, "You mean he...may refuse to take over as Fifth Hokage?" After dealing with the Nara family for so many years, Akamichi has also honed in taking the wind. The ability to understand the euphemisms of these smart people.

He was a little unbelievable and said:

"This is Hokage? Could anyone refuse to be Hokage?"

In the eyes of Akamichi and the old people, no one can refuse the temptation to become Hokage. The group of their little friends back then, knowing that Sarutobi is the most optimistic disciple of the Second Generation, they are still dreaming. I want to be Hokage.

Like the extremely stubborn guy Danzo, he probably never gave up his dream of becoming Hokage until the moment he died.

so,

He couldn't understand that someone would reject the position of Hokage.

"I think I still need to explain this matter to Master Jiraiya first, and ask Master Jiraiya's attitude so that we can do some preparations. Otherwise, if Master Jiraiya refuses, we will have to sit on wax instead." Nara Luku Proposed.

"I agree."

Hyuga Hiashi was positive at this time.

"I know the temperament of Jiraiya-senpai. It's best to ask about this kind of thing face-to-face. You can't make any assumptions."

Akamichi froze, even Hyuga Hiashi said so, is this apprentice of Sarutobi such a weird one? Rejecting the handy Hokage position...This is really not a lie.

"Haiyi, Zhiwei, what do you think?"

"I agree with Lu Jiu's idea."

Yamanaka Keiichi expressed his trust in Nara Shikahisa, and the three families of Ino–Shika–Chō are in the same spirit, not just for fun.

"I have no opinion!"

Aburame Zhiwei's attitude is also very clear. He and Jiraiya are not familiar, but he and Namikaze Minato are very close friends, and Fourth Generation respects his teacher very much, even if he will complain about his teacher from time to time. Pu, I just love to go to the custom shop, and I have to take him to go with him, almost the two masters and apprentices were killed by the furious Nine Tails Jinchūriki.

But he still remembers the deep respect in Namikaze Minato's helpless smile.

So he was very sure,

Jiraiya is a respectable elder.

Therefore, he is not opposed to Jiraiya's succession to Fifth Hokage.

"In that case...Lujiu, Hiashi, please go to meet Jiraiya and ask him what his attitude is. If he is interested in the position of Hokage, then we can start to prepare. If it is him It’s no different from this, so let Anbu hurry up on Tsunade’s side. There hasn’t been any results for so long, it’s too procrastinating."

Nara deer smiled helplessly for a long time,

Tsunade is not so easy to find. This famous "big fat sheep" seems to have owed a lot of money at the beginning of this year. In order to avoid debt collectors, he has been trying his best to hide his whereabouts, so he gave it to Anbu. Brought great trouble.

In the past, Tsunade’s information could be easily collected because she never deliberately concealed her whereabouts.

But if Tsunade deliberately hides, it is not so easy for Anbu to find the Grandmaster Medical Ninjutsu Princess Konoha.

"Let's go now."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded and agreed.

It's just an errand to meet Jiraiya and ask for a sentence. There is nothing to shirk. He and Aburame Zhiwei have the same mentality. As long as he is not a person like the Third Generation, he doesn't care very much no matter who comes to sit in this Hokage, anyway. The position of the first generation of Hokage and Hyuga are destined to have nothing to do.

As for the future,

That is something that people in the future should consider.

Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Kajiu left the Hokage building. According to the information sent by Anbu, who was in charge of tracking Jiraiya, they flew straight on the roof treetops and came to the cemetery. They saw the tall man in front of the tomb where Third Hokage was buried. man.

"Senior Jiraiya."

"Master Jiraiya."

Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Kajiu stepped forward and greeted the man.

"Oh! Isn't this the Hyuga chief and Lujiu?" Jiraiya turned around and saw no sadness on his face. Instead, he wore a hearty smile and said hello to the two with a smile, "Long time It's gone!"
