Save Uchiha From Being The Patriarch

When receiving the news of Third Hokage's death, Jiraiya did not feel much sadness or sorrow. It was probably that after being silent for less than a minute, he continued to sit on the hotel’s tatami mat, leaning on the desk and continuing to work.

People are always mortal,

The old man is already more than sixty years old. Compared to the average life span of Hokage in the past, he is already long enough. It is not a bad thing to pass away at this time. There should be a new Hokage to bring a little bit of difference to Konoha. Something out.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go back to the village.

Not for the position of Hokage, his ambitions do not lie in this. He went back to the village to check something and meet certain people.

August, also known as Ye Yue, Qiufengyue, according to the official calendar of the Land of Fire, this is the month when summer and autumn change from hot to cold, but it is a pity that Konoha’s climate is still hot. Jiraiya returned to the village with emotion. With a sound of the scorching sunlight, I went to the Yamanaka flower shop to buy a bunch of white chrysanthemums, wandered around the cemetery twice, and found the small tombstone belonging to Third Hokage.

Jiraiya knows that this is just a burial mound.

The corpse of a ninja is extremely valuable, otherwise there would be no such organization as a corpse disposal team. Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a Third Hokage, his corpse is naturally of great value, and it is impossible to just be buried in Konoha Cemetery. In the past, the bodies of Hokage were buried secretly, and the burial place was only known to a small group of people at the top of the village.

Jiraiya, who is just a tourist out of town, is not qualified to know such secrets. Of course, if he is willing to go back to the village, all the secrets in the village after he succeeds Fifth Hokage will open the door for him, but he refused this option.

There are not a few burial mounds like this in the cemetery.

Basically, it is to comfort the living in the village, to give them another place to put their souls, and also to confuse spies and those who have bad intentions, and set up these clothing mounds.

Enshrine the white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone,

Jiraiya didn’t move anymore. He didn’t have anything to say to the dead teacher. It’s just a simple grave sweeping to come here. It’s to do his duty as a disciple. Even this is not the real cemetery of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It doesn't matter.

Just as he started to think about where to go next, the visitors came together.

Not strangers, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikahisa, although they are different in age and seniority, they all had a lot of dealings with Jiraiya during the Third Ninja War.

"Master Jiraiya, I haven't seen you for a long time, your style remains the same!"

Nara Lujiu's attitude is very respectful.

"Lujiu, you look haggard, and you have a beard. So is Hiashi. You are not the kid of the year!" Jiraiya looked at the two people in front of him and sighed with emotion. , The new generation replaced the old, and the memory of fighting side by side with the patriarchs of the previous generation Hyuga and Nara clan in the Second Ninja War is still vivid, and now standing in front of him is no longer his former comrade-in-arms.

"My son is five years old."

Nara Lujiu said helplessly.

Hyuga Hiashi didn't say a word. His daughters are also five years old, but of course they are all juniors in front of Jiraiya.

"Haha! That's it! Speaking of which... Naruto is almost five years old, right?" Jiraiya said thoughtfully. He had only seen Naruto as a baby.

He traveled abroad five years ago when he received the news of Minato’s sacrifice. When he returned to the village hurriedly, he found that he was too late and everything was hard to recover. Minato and Kushina both passed away, and Sarutobi teacher returned to the position of Hokage. Only a baby, Naruto was left, lying in the nursery of Konoha Hospital.

Seeing Mr. Sarutobi, who was reappearing with the Hokage hat, Jiraiya was in a terrible mood, but he couldn't do anything. Third Generation was always his mentor, and the night of the Nine Tails chaos was the Third Generation. He didn't say that he didn't work hard, on the contrary, he didn't do anything when he arrived late.

The gloomy mood prevented him from staying in the village. He refused Third Generation's purpose of staying. After confirming that Naruto, who was still a baby, was well taken care of, he left the village again to continue his endless journey.

Until this time,

After Sarutobi teacher passed away, Jiraiya re-planned the journey and returned to Konoha.

"Is Naruto okay? Did he go to a ninja school?" Jiraiya asked casually, but this simple question was not answered immediately. Hyuga Hiashi's stern face showed that it doesn't matter to him to hang up high. However, Nara Lujiu is inevitable. Who makes Hokage the current Fifth Generation representative is the master of the wind? It would be too fake if he didn't know about Nine Tails Jinchūriki.

Waited for two seconds without any sound,

Jiraiya frowned slightly and stared at the bitter-faced Nara Lukuhisa. "Lukuhisa, what happened to Naruto?"

"That's not what I said, Naruto... isn't in the village now." Nara Shikajiu replied bitterly.

"Not in the village?"

Jiraiya repeated such an incredible answer. What does it mean that Nine Tails Jinchūriki is not in the village? Suddenly remembered that it seemed that the village and Wuren were at war again. Could it be said that Naruto, who was only five years old, went to the frontline battlefield?

"Lujiu, tell me, where is Naruto?"

"Um, if nothing else, I should be following Patriarch Uchiha in the Water Country." Nara Shikaku replied.

"The country of water?"

Jiraiya raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of anger between her eyebrows.

"Lujiu? Don't tell me that the situation in the village is not optimistic enough that the five-year-old Nine Tails Jinchūriki needs to be sent to the battlefield. Make it clear, what is going on?"

Nara Lujiu's forehead was sweating, and she complained constantly. What's all this? Didn’t they come to ask Master Jiraiya’s opinion? Why should I be questioned by Lord Jiraiya in turn, and it is still such a delicate matter.

If Jiraiya-sama is not a disciple of the Third Generation, then he can confess all what happened to Naruto, but who makes Jiraiya a disciple of the Third Generation? He doesn't know the relationship problem between Third Generation and Jiraiya, even if he can see a little tediousness.

But as the saying goes, I can say that he is not good, but it does not mean that other people can also accuse him of his mistakes.

In case Jiraiya-sama thinks they are shifting responsibility to the dead Third Generation, that is a situation that Nara Shikahisa absolutely does not want to see.

"The situation is more complicated. In short, Naruto was not forced to leave the village, and to be honest, it is safer for Naruto to be with the Uchiha patriarch..." Nara Shikahisa racked his brains, wondering if he could avoid it. Open those'minefields'.

Jiraiya's brows frowned even more.

"Senior Jiraiya, let me do it!"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was going to watch, reached out to help Nara Kajiu to get out of the siege. Nara Kajiu let out a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hiashi, tell me what the hell is going on?" Jiraiya changed to a more gracious name. Nara Shikahisa's attitude made him realize that Naruto's affairs seem not as simple as he thought, and the situation inside feels very complicated. .

"It's really complicated to say..."

Hyuga Hiashi pondered for a moment, sorted out the clutter, and then asked, "Master Jiraiya, I don't know if you know that the Third Generation has covered up the fact that Naruto is the child of the Fourth Generation?"

"I know."

Jiraiya’s jaw, "The old man told me that in order to protect Naruto Nine Tails Jinchūriki’s identity from leaking, he intends to change Naruto’s surname to avoid being discovered from his name. Naruto Nine Tails Jinchūriki’s identity. What is Naruto's current surname?"

Heard this question,

Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Kajiu glanced at each other, seeing similar surprises in each other's eyes.

"It's Uzumaki, Uzumaki Naruto."

Hyuga Hiashi replied.

"Uzumaki?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

From Namikaze to Uzumaki?

What magical operation is this?

For fear that others will not know that Naruto is Nine Tails Jinchūriki? The two generations of Nine Tails Jinchūriki in Konoha Village are all members of the Uzumaki clan. Especially after the collapse of the Uzumaki Kingdom, the surname Uzumaki has become so rare that it is even more conspicuous than the surname Namikaze, okay?

"This name is..."

"It was the Third Generation project that was taken five years ago. If yes, it was just after Jiraiya-senpai you left the village." Hyuga Hiashi didn't stop, but continued, "It's unfortunate to say, Anbu's. The secrecy work is not in place. I don’t know when there was a rumor that Naruto was a "demon fox" in the village. Now almost all ordinary people in the village believe that Naruto is the incarnation of the monster that destroyed the village five years ago."

Jiraiya closed his eyes.

He is not a fool.

Hyuga Hiashi's hidden meaning of these words is very clear to him. Naruto's life does not seem to be well taken care of as he imagined. On the contrary, what kind of childhood will a child accused of being a "demon fox" have? ·····

He did not doubt that what Hyuga Hiashi said was true or false.

He doesn’t think Hyuga Hiashi has the courage and it is necessary to deceive him. Even though these words may contain subjective opinions, the fact that Naruto is regarded as a demon fox is probably not false. He will occasionally think of it when he is writing. Naruto, imagined Naruto who grew up happily under the careful care of the village, guessing that he will grow up more like Minato or more like Kushina?

However, reality ruthlessly shattered all his illusions.

"Then what does all this have to do with Naruto's being sent to the Water Country?" Jiraiya did not continue to ask about Naruto's life. He has returned to the village. He is going to learn about Naruto's life in the village. Why is Naruto not in the village, but in the country of water?
