Chapter 254 Who is the Examiner 14
"That guy is not easy to talk to."
"I know."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was having a headache when he saw his student as soon as he walked out the door.
There are two of them, one yellow and one white, but the only one missing is the black one that the old man loved the most.
"Sarutobi-sensei."
Jiraiya bowed slightly. This was the final courtesy.
"If this is about that guy, I'm already tired today."
"Please talk to me another day."
Jiraiya didn't want to hear that. He wasn't interested in the disputes between the old man and the old lady.
Although he is not young, toads are always friendlier than humans. With fewer tests, they are more innocent and passionate.
"Teacher, it's not too late for you to leave after listening to this."
"We know what you are going to do next, but of course, it is not for us as students to interfere."
"It's just that some things are more important than being polite."
It's nothing more than the Chunin Exam and Orochimaru.
"I've already said this before..."
"It's about Nora."
Jiraiya just felt that no matter what he said, he couldn't explain it to this stubborn old guy.
It has come to this point, do you still think he will persuade me?
Don't joke, we have already taken half a step towards the worst possible outcome. No matter how much persuasion we get, it is an inevitable outcome.
Furthermore, naturally someone will force this group of people to take responsibility.
"What does that person do?"
Although he said he refused, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pace slowed down significantly. He knew that there were eyes watching him from behind, and Danzo must have obtained some solid evidence to say such words in the meeting.
However, he also has Danzo's tail in his hand, and as long as Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En do not completely believe in Shimura Danzo, things will not be able to continue to develop.
But it's only now, even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself doesn't know how long it can be delayed.
After all, Hyuga Neji did show up, and he didn't show any intention of hiding it.
Tsunade and Itachi made some big moves, but they definitely did not attract Danzo's attention - that man only saw threatening things and things that did not pose a threat. In other words, he would never be sure that Hyuga Neji would be a Nora.
It is impossible for a god to be born.
Just a few years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself had the same idea. How could a god who came and went without a trace and had the power to grant wishes be born? Only a mortal body came into this world from the mother's womb.
"That was the news spread by Orochimaru."
"Teacher is so vigilant, he is just afraid that we will cause trouble for Orochimaru."
Tsunade tried to speak again and again, but was stopped by Jiraiya's eyes every time: "Besides, Orochimaru and Danzo have been in contact. What made the teacher so upset today may be related to it."
"Orochimaru's goal is the same as ours, to find that person and use his power to fulfill his wish."
There was a subtle slyness in Jiraiya's tone: "At least right now, the other party has much more information than us. If we leave it alone, it will only be a matter of time before they find Nora."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Of course we won't sit and wait for death. It's not your turn to say that."
"Besides, whether Danzo and Orochimaru are colluding or not is up to you. Jiraiya, Jiraiya, since childhood I have taught you that the mouth can cause trouble, but after all these years, you still haven't improved at all."
He took a deep breath, and his mind, which had entered the twilight years along with his body, worked rapidly: the last time they met, they parted unhappily. If his memory was correct, this child should have accepted the mission of protecting the daimyo.
As one of the legendary three ninjas and the direct disciple of the Hokage, Jiraiya's appointment as a bodyguard was a great honor to the Daimyo.
If I can find myself in front of me at this time, could it be...
The daimyo was also involved in this matter.
It's no wonder that Nekoharu and Mitomon En mentioned the Daimyo in every sentence during the meeting.
"This child is incorrigible!"
He seemed to be so annoyed by the student that he couldn't even speak clearly: "Danzo was hand-picked by the Second Daeme Tobirama, and his loyalty is obvious! Everyone has witnessed his contributions to Konoha over the years. If he heard what you said, how chilled he would be!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with confidence and sincerity, as if he was not the one who coldly ignored Danzo Shimura during the meeting and brought up the old Uchiha affairs.
"It's useless for us to talk any more. We might as well go back and rest, or patrol the surrounding areas of the village. Maybe we can find some clues."
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Tsunade turned her head to look in the direction where her teacher left, and for a moment she was unable to open her eyes because of the sunlight.
Whether it was Jiraiya beside her or the teacher in front of her, they both made the woman feel unfamiliar.
"Let's go back."
She patted Jiraiya's shoulder and said, "The Daimyo must be getting impatient. It was you who promised to accompany them to the hot springs tonight."
"go quickly."
"Being indecisive is not a solution. Now, we can only take one step at a time."
Tsunade's understanding of Jiraiya is still that of a white-haired young man in his twenties with an overflowing sense of justice.
He roared when he saw injustice and then fell into the women's bathhouse.
Writing erotic stories and singing songs that only he can understand, the fool back then has now created a world of his own.
He, who disdains verbal disputes and open and covert fighting, can do this today.
Is it Jiraiya or himself who is wavering?
The woman lowered her head and found that her hands were already bloody.
The nails pried open the flesh, revealing the cowardice and confusion within, mixed with the smell of blood that filled Tsunade's nostrils.
A wound of this severity would heal quickly even if left alone.
But...what happens after you recover?
She suddenly didn't want to think any further.
The boy's pure white eyes suddenly entered the woman's mind. For some reason, she thought of Hyuga Neji.
Those eyes always carry bottomless sadness and inextricable fatigue.
Can I understand him a little bit now?
This kind of... the feeling of powerlessness of not being able to grasp anything even if you try your best, this kind of... not being able to see your own insignificance in the vast world.
“What will happen next?”
Tsunade walked in a completely different direction from the previous two people.
She muttered to herself, raising one hand high, and the crumbling sun radiated its light generously, while recklessly and unsympathetically squeezing through her fingers and piercing into Tsunade's eyes.
Many people will die.
People she knows, people she doesn't know, important people, unimportant people.
She is a doctor and a ninja.
"go home."
She suddenly stopped.
But where is home?
All her family members died, her lover left her, and she was left alone wandering here.
And there is also Hyuga Neji.
A brother in childhood, a friend in adulthood.
Someone who treats you like a blood relative, warm and kind.
But now, it seemed that Hyuga Neji was also about to be lost by her.
The conspiracy was spreading, it was the smell that Tsunade hated the most, the smell after the rainy season.
The mold floated in the air and entered her body through her breathing, spreading until the woman no longer had the strength to resist.
The body has its own thoughts. It gives up breathing, but chooses the instinct of survival when it is approaching death.
asphyxia.
The area above the neck was sometimes tense and sometimes soft, as if any gust of wind could blow away the woman's soul.
The scenery in front of me was blurry, yet it was changing reallY when my body was finally tired and wanted to rest, everything became clear again.
A grayish-white tombstone, white flowers with water droplets on them, and an inscription that has no practical meaning.
Between Thousand Hands.
The well-deserved Second Hokage, a legendary master of forbidden techniques.
He is also a stubborn old man, a hopeless love-brained person.
After living a life full of excitement, Banyuan passed away with dissatisfaction, and now is lying here quietly like a corpse.
The person below is Tobirama Senju.
The one who actually raised her.
He is also her second grandfather and little grandfather.
The sky was already dark as ink, but Tsunade's eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Grandpa Tobirama."
She whispered to the sky and sat down on the cold marble floor. The wind moved, the flag fluttered, but the woman's heart remained motionless.
