Chapter 110: Lucky Life

[Hokage Office]

Seeing Jiraiya climb in through the window again.

The Third Hokage also helplessly waved his hand, letting Anbu withdraw first.

"How's the investigation?"

So many explosive tags were placed in Konoha, the Third Hokage of course had to investigate clearly how they appeared.

What if they come again next time.

Now the Hokage Rock of the Third Hokage still has a hole, but no one dares to laugh at the Third Hokage.

After all, Hiruzen summoned such a large number, obviously loyal to his personal combat personnel.

If these people really were all Sarutobi clan members as the Hyuga clan said.

The position of Konoha's number one noble clan, Uchiha would have to give up.

After all, even Uchiha and Hyuga added together don't have as many people as the Sarutobi clan.

Jiraiya took out a few explosive tags from his body and slapped them on the table.

"These are the unexploded explosive tags."

The Third Hokage was shocked, having the ability to leave explosive tags in Konoha but making such a low-level mistake?

He picked up the explosive tags to observe, somewhat suspiciously said, "How come these are explosive tags from more than ten years ago?"

Things like explosive tags iterate fairly quickly, the ones from more than ten years ago are very different from the current ones.

Jiraiya added, "Not only are they explosive tags from more than ten years ago, they were even installed more than ten years ago."

"Some lost their function due to time, and the places we found them were all in building interlayers."

"It should be that these were placed when the buildings were constructed."

"I investigated, at that time we were fighting the Kagero Village."

"Later they had already signed a truce agreement with us, but they were destroyed in a surprise attack by Takigakure."

"Most likely they were installed by Kagero Village's trap ninja."

"Now they're just being discovered and used."

The Third Hokage knowing they were installed back then, let out a sigh of relief.

At least they weren't installed recently.

"Does the Hyuga clan have ties to that disciple of yours, Konan?"

These explosive tags were definitely arranged, otherwise Konan couldn't detonate them either.

Jiraiya looked a bit awkward, but could only honestly reply at this time, "Not sure."

"The Hyuga clan insists the main family knew nothing, that Hyuga Koshin's accusation before death was slander."

"Their reasoning is that the branch family discovered the explosive tags and reported them to Hyuga Koshin."

"Hyuga Koshin as the only branch elder suppressed all the reports, did not report up."

"Now Hyuga Koshin is dead, no way to confront."

"Not sure what the transaction content between Hyuga Koshin and Konan was."

"And whether this matter is related to the Uchiha," Though he said so, Jiraiya by intuition felt Uchiha was involved.

But exactly what role they played, he wasn't sure.

The Third Hokage pondered a moment, "It should be related to Uchiha, otherwise Uchiha wouldn't spread rumors in the village during the day."

"And at night stay put," Jiraiya was also very troubled by the Uchiha clan, after all the Uchiha clan before was simple and reckless.

Totally didn't understand these twists and turns, now Uchiha has grown.

'Mm, even started using tactics.'

Playing Konoha's people in circles, the Third Hokage here also suffered quite a bit.

Although the Sarutobi clan of the Third Hokage had many people, now they were all exposed under the sunlight.

Now everyone knew, Hiruzen was deep-minded.

Jiraiya on this side, had to put aside the Uchiha topic for now, and spoke of another matter, "Naruto's seal on him is the Four Symbols Seal improved by Minato, now no one in Konoha researches this."

"If we want to completely prevent Naruto from going berserk, we can only modify the seal, or think of a way from Yamato's side."

The Third Hokage had also placed high hopes on Yamato before, gave Yamato a lot of training resources.

Did his best to cultivate Yamato, hoping that if the Nine Tails Jinchuriki went berserk, Yamato could use Wood Release to seal.

But the result greatly disappointed the Third Hokage, Yamato's Wood Release and the First Hokage's were completely different things.

This Nine Tails riot, Yamato's performance also proved this point. Though not completely useless, it was almost the same as useless.

"Modify the sealing technique huh?", The Third Hokage slowly took a puff of smoke, eyes thinking deeply.

"Sealing techniques comparable to the Uzumaki clan, only the priestess lineage of the Land of Demons remains, Miroku wouldn't leave the Land of Demons," Jiraiya gave the suggestion then left it alone, after all he had no better way.

What to do still depended on the Third Hokage's decision.

"Old man, now the village is fine, I want to go out for a bit," Jiraiya scratched his head, somewhat guilty as he said.

The Third Hokage flew into a rage, "Now the village is such a mess, everywhere is under repair, you want to run at this time?"

Jiraiya awkwardly laughed, leaving Konoha at this time was indeed a bit bad.

But he had reasons he had to leave, "Uchiha already sent people out to take missions, they probably won't change the situation by force."

"Besides your Sarutobi clan has so many people. Where still needs me."

"I'll just go check what missions those Uchiha who went rogue took."

The Third Hokage looked up at Jiraiya, "You want to find Konan right."

"Uh..."

"Ah haha... ah haha..."

Jiraiya laughed awkwardly twice, seeing the Third Hokage's look, also drooped down, "Alright, I am going to find Konan."

The Third Hokage smoked silently without speaking, Jiraiya felt very uncomfortable.

Just when Jiraiya was about to give up going out, the Third Hokage finally exhaled all the smoke, "Go then."

Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage in surprise.

The Third Hokage tapped his pipe on the table, "Danzo can't be moved now, doesn't mean he can't be moved later."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up, "Don't worry old man, I understand."

After speaking Jiraiya directly jumped out the window.

The Third Hokage and Danzo originally just used each other, guarded against each other.

This time Danzo made such a big mistake, the Third Hokage was also considering whether to get rid of Danzo.

Danzo's Root had too many secrets, the Third Hokage was gradually unable to control it.

Though this time he took the chance to demote him to commoner, stripped him of his position.

But Danzo's strength wasn't much affected.

Even to appease Danzo, the Third Hokage also allocated some funds to him.

But this was just the Third Hokage's stopgap, he already faintly had killing intent toward Danzo.

Just that now wasn't the right time yet.

His Sarutobi clan members were already exposed, the Third Hokage's way of doing things also had to change.

"If you act, can Danzo survive?", The Third Hokage asked toward the empty room.

"Root is more tightly guarded than before, I can't get in."

"Unless he appears outside."

The Third Hokage nodded, that meant if outside Danzo definitely wouldn't survive.

"The team that went to the Land of Lightning fell into a trap, all wiped out."

That voice was calm, "I guess I was lucky."

The Third Hokage also felt fortunate, keeping him in Konoha was better than dying in the Land of Lightning.

"You finished reading the records about Uchiha's Susanoo right."

That voice responded, "Mm, though the data was a bit little, Susanoo's weaknesses are also quite obvious."

"Except for Fugaku, Itachi and Rengoku are young, not much combat experience."

Hiruzen reminded, "You be careful, maybe this time's Uchiha also awakened that eye technique called 'Amaterasu'."

"I understand."
