Chapter 319 Preconceived notions
Meanwhile, Jiraiya also arrived at the hospital and met Tsunade.
However, Tsunade's face was full of disgust the moment she saw Jiraiya.
Why are you here?
Jiraiya chuckled and said, "I need to talk to you about something, it's about the village."
Tsunade glanced at him dismissively and said:
"Isn't Konoha doing well now? I don't think there's anything I can talk to you about."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Tsunade, Naruto has basically sided with the Uchiha now."
"If the Uchiha clan gets the Hokage position, the old man will probably be in great danger."
Tsunade sneered: "Didn't you run away pretty fast last time, leaving me with this mess? And now you're telling me this?"
Speaking of this, Jiraiya was naturally a little embarrassed, but at this moment he was facing the possibility of internal strife in Konoha.
Jiraiya, still shameless, said, "Well, you know, I'm doing this for the sake of the ninja world too."
Tsunade didn't want to play games with Jiraiya, so she just gave a cold smile:
"Don't give me that nonsense. I think Uchiha Chiyo would be a good Hokage."
“If anyone else does something wrong, then they must be punished.”
Jiraiya said anxiously, "That's true, but if Chiyo's methods are too drastic, it could easily cause great damage to Konoha."
Upon hearing the words "significant damage," Tsunade reacted as if she had been stressed.
His eyes turned bloodshot: "Ha, that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi, is he afraid of this?!"
Jiraiya stared at Tsunade in shock. Although Tsunade had never shown much respect for the Third Hokage before, she had never cursed him like that before.
"Tsunade, how can you say that about the old man? He's still our teacher!"
Tsunade turned her head, staring at Jiraiya with murderous intent:
"What a joke! Who do I think I am? I can find any kind of teacher I want."
"If Second Grandfather hadn't been blind, how could he have fallen for that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi?"
Jiraiya was also annoyed: "Tsunade..."
"roll!"
Tsunade angrily punched Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was startled. Although he raised his arms, Tsunade's violent punches were not so easy to block.
He crashed directly into the door behind him, and the door flew off!
"Oh!"
The door flew off and crashed into the opposite wall, causing the wall to crack.
Jiraiya bumped his head on the door and left a mark.
"Cough cough..."
He fell down while coughing.
He was both shocked and furious; Tsunade's punch had landed squarely.
"Tsunade, are you crazy!?"
Not only were his arms in excruciating pain, but Jiraiya's back was also in agony.
Tsunade stared coldly at Jiraiya.
If it weren't for Chiyo's request to keep the secret, Tsunade would have already gone and killed the Third Hokage.
"Let's let it go this time, considering we were teammates before."
Tsunade spoke coldly.
"If you speak up for that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi again, we'll be enemies!"
Jiraiya was shocked: "Why!?"
"Tsunade, what exactly happened?"
Tsunade merely gave a cold laugh, stepped over Jiraiya, and didn't reply with a single word.
Jiraiya stood up somewhat dejectedly, feeling that there was something he didn't know.
"No, we have to ask the old man first."
……
News of the upcoming Chunin Exams spread quickly.
Although the graduation time for the elite class is only about six months.
However, their supervising teachers all said that they already had sufficient ability.
It's time to take the Chunin Exams.
Therefore, all the students who graduated from the elite class signed up.
Some students who were not in Konoha also began to rush back to Konoha.
Although this Chunin Exams were not jointly held, Konoha, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, still has many Genin.
Especially after the exam was changed from being held every six months to once a year, the number of people who signed up totaled over a hundred.
The Third Hokage was somewhat relieved after seeing the list.
Because it contains Naruto Uzumaki's name.
Once Naruto enters the Forest of Death, he'll have more opportunities to make a move.
As I was pondering this, a figure climbed over the window and came in.
The Third Hokage was no longer in the mood to reprimand Jiraiya; he had also noticed the anxiety on Jiraiya's face.
"what happened?"
Jiraiya wore a bitter expression, after all, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade were very important people to him.
When the two had a conflict, Jiraiya didn't know which side to take.
"Old man, it seems Tsunade has a lot of opinions about you," Jiraiya said tactfully.
The Third Hokage frowned slightly, then picked up his pipe.
He knew Jiraiya's personality perfectly well, and if Jiraiya had said so...
That means Tsunade may already harbor a great deal of hostility towards him.
Various thoughts raced through his mind. Danzo was dead, and the most likely explanation was that Orochimaru had revealed the Wood Release experiment.
When Orochimaru conducted his Wood Release experiments, it was already the second time he had restarted the Wood Release experiments.
The Senju clan was killed during the first Wood Release experiment, so this shouldn't be the case.
The Third Hokage felt reassured, calmly took a puff of his cigarette, and slowly said, "Orochimaru probably said something."
Jiraiya asked, puzzled, "What does Orochimaru want?"
The Third Hokage said, "You know that Orochimaru defected because he was conducting human experiments with Wood Release techniques."
"The Wood Release experiment was conducted by Orochimaru at Danzo's private invitation."
"But in the end, I found out that too many people had gone missing, and eventually I found out it was Orochimaru."
"But I never expected that Danzo had framed him."
"Although Orochimaru has returned, he still believes that I was aware of the situation and even conspired with Danzo."
"You should know that too many members of the Senju clan died in the first Wood Release experiment."
"Now that Orochimaru is on the Uchiha's side, he naturally won't say anything good about me."
Jiraiya was a result-oriented person; after all, he wouldn't feel pain unless the knife cut him.
Upon hearing what the Third Hokage said, he frowned and said:
"So much time has passed since those events, and Danzo is already dead. Tsunade is simply taking her anger out on you."
The Third Hokage said, half-truthfully:
"Tsunade recently visited the Uchiha clan, and it's unclear whether Chiyo said something to her."
Jiraiya recalled hearing Chiyo brainwash Naruto at the training ground.
They brainwashed the once obedient and sensible Naruto into someone who hates the Third Hokage intensely.
Based on this inference, Tsunade must have been instigated by Uchiha Chiyo.
The Uchiha clan has always been known for its strength, straightforwardness, or cruelty.
No one expected that someone like Uchiha Chiyo, who liked to use schemes and tricks, would appear.
But Qianyao is not only exceptionally intelligent, his martial prowess is also astonishing.
At least Jiraiya felt he definitely couldn't win.
"Old man, don't worry, even if Chiyo becomes the Fifth Hokage."
"I won't let him run rampant either."
The Third Hokage patted Jiraiya on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
