He continued, "In fact, Konan not only set up the magical talisman on the Hokage Rock, but also placed talismans in other places."
The Third Hokage looked at the map in Jiraiya's hand: "Let me see."
Jiraiya awkwardly handed over the map.
The Third Hokage took a look and couldn't help but gasp: "So many!?"
"Ok?"
Upon closer inspection.
The Third Hokage noticed a problem: "Why are they all in places that are rarely visited by people?"
A slight smile appeared on Jiraiya's face:
“I know Xiao Nan well. She’s kind-hearted. She just put those magical talismans in those places as a formality.”
"After all, there was no one around when she blew up the Hokage Rock, so even if there was an explosion, it wouldn't have hurt any innocent people."
“After we imprisoned Danzo, Konan told Kawasaki about the information about these areas filled with magical symbols.”
The Third Hokage picked up his pipe and took a deep drag.
It seems that Xiao Nan from my family isn't a bad person at heart.
"Jiraiya, do you think it's possible to persuade Nagato to join our side?"
What the Third Hokage could never forget was Nagato's Rinnegan.
It would be such a waste if such formidable fighting power couldn't be put to use by the village.
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's face immediately lit up with joy:
"Grandpa, are you willing to accept Nagato?"
The Third Hokage waved his hand: "After all, he is your disciple. How can you just stand by and watch him fall into ruin?"
"Since Danzo was behind everything, we still have a chance."
At least there's still hope of winning her over from Xiaonan's side.
Jiraiya had felt guilty all these years for not being able to take good care of them.
If Konoha could accept Nagato and Konan, it would undoubtedly be a win-win situation for both sides.
Firstly, Jiraiya could personally guide them; secondly, it could also strengthen Konoha's power.
"I'll go try it now!"
Jiraiya said.
Seeing Jiraiya's eagerness, the Third Hokage figured that if he agreed, Jiraiya would probably leave the village immediately.
"Don't rush, let's wait until Kawasaki officially becomes the clan leader before we take action."
Hearing this, Jiraiya calmed down a bit.
He also understood that Kawasaki might encounter some turmoil after becoming the clan leader.
.....
Inside Konoha Village.
The once peaceful Hidden Leaf Village has recently been plagued by a series of major events.
First, the Uchiha clan was attacked, and then Kakashi was also attacked.
Following this, the Uchiha clan issued an announcement stating that Uchiha Fugaku was seriously injured and that Uchiha Kawasaki would take over as the new clan leader.
He exposed the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage and removed Obito from the family genealogy, banishing him forever.
Subsequently, an accident occurred at the Hokage Rock where the Third Hokage lived, and half of his face was destroyed.
According to an official statement from the village, the Hokage Rock of the Third Hokage needs to be rebuilt due to years of disrepair and for safety reasons.
In addition, Elder Danzo, who just appeared in the announcement, has been added to the blacklist again.
This time, the situation is much more serious than the previous Nine-Tails attack.
Murdering villagers, kidnapping infants for human experimentation, framing Orochimaru, and stealing the remains of the First Hokage, Hashirama—each of these is a serious crime.
Danzo's Root organization stronghold was also captured by Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, who found a large amount of evidence.
The evidence against Danzo is irrefutable.
With the Third Hokage's encouragement, the entire process of Danzo's crimes was also detailed.
How did they frame Orochimaru, and how did they force Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, to leave the village?
Everything was recorded clearly.
The villagers looked at each other in disbelief.
If Danzo was previously disliked by the villagers, he is now terrifying.
I never imagined Danzo had done so many bad things.
Through the machinations of certain individuals, even ordinary villagers came to know about Orochimaru's "grievances."
All the ninja clans remained eerily silent, uttering not a single word.
Today, after school at the Ninja Academy, Naruto had just stepped out of the school gate when he spotted the person he desperately wanted to avoid.
It is indeed Jiraiya! (The last sentence is a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
Chapter 110 Tsunade! Kawasaki's Coolness! Four Pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan! Orochimaru's Road Back! Anko!
"Hey Naruto, wanna grab a bite to eat?"
Jiraiya struck up a conversation as if he were talking to an old friend.
"Sasuke, let's go."
Naruto felt extremely uncomfortable upon seeing Jiraiya.
Ever since Kawasaki gave him a heads-up a few years ago, Naruto has disliked Jiraiya from the bottom of his heart.
Sasuke glanced at Jiraiya expressionlessly, neither showing disdain nor contempt.
He seemed not to see him at all, letting Naruto drag him away.
Jiraiya scratched his head, realizing he didn't really have any good ideas for the time being.
He had no choice but to secretly follow Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto realized he was being followed, so he gave up on the idea of going to the food street.
They dragged Sasuke directly back to the Uchiha territory.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I ran into Tsunade, who was busy checking the medical equipment that had been delivered.
"Tsunade-neechan!"
When Naruto saw Tsunade, it was like he had found a lifeline.
He ran towards Tsunade while shouting.
Upon hearing Naruto's energetic shout, Tsunade's face immediately broke into a smile.
She waved for someone to handle the equipment, then turned around.
Turning around, he discovered that Sasuke and Jiraiya were following behind Naruto.
"Naruto, so early."
Naruto immediately grabbed Tsunade's hand and hid behind her.
"What's wrong, Naruto?"
Naruto said with a hint of helplessness, "Jiraiya is always following me around, and I don't like him at all."
"Tsunade-neechan, I know you two used to be teammates, but could you please ask him to stop following me? I'm very safe at school, and I'm perfectly safe here too."
Tsunade wasn't surprised that Jiraiya was following Naruto, but she was quite curious about why Naruto disliked Jiraiya so much.
"Naruto, can you tell me why you don't like him?"
Naruto gave a disgusted look: "Because Jiraiya loves to spy."
I hate people who disrespect women the most.
Tsunade was greatly surprised after hearing this. This kid is only 11 years old, yet his values are already so upright.
Tsunade ruffled Naruto's hair: "Don't worry, I'll handle this. Jiraiya won't bother you anymore."
Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Thank you, Tsunade-neechan!"
Since Naruto ignored Jiraiya the whole way, Jiraiya decided to take a roundabout approach and chat with Sasuke for a bit.
As a result, Sasuke didn't utter a single word the entire time, nor did his expression change at all.
This left Jiraiya feeling extremely frustrated.
Of course, Jiraiya didn't know that Sasuke had just been scolded by his mother, Mikoto, the day before.
Never speak out about things you don't understand or are unclear about.
Tell him to learn from Itachi and not to say a word when he's not allowed to speak.
Too much talk leads to mistakes; less talk means fewer mistakes; and no talk means no mistakes.
Sasuke walked up to Tsunade and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lady Tsunade." Tsunade waved her hand, gesturing for Sasuke to go inside first.
Tsunade turned to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, stop bothering my brother all day long."
Jiraiya was stunned: "What? Your brother?"
Tsunade patted Naruto's head, who was hiding behind her: "Naruto is my little brother."
Jiraiya's face darkened: "Tsunade, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're saying?"
"Naruto, you go in first," Tsunade instructed.
"Alright, Tsunade-neechan, it's almost lunchtime, you should come in quickly too."
Naruto gave a few words of advice and then went inside with Sasuke.
"If Naruto calls me 'older sister,' then he's my younger brother."
