Naruto: The Savior

Chapter 52: Passing the torch

"How could it be him?" Mizuki really felt a little puzzled. In the original book, Moonlight Blaze followed and monitored Yakushi's pocket, and was killed by Sand Ninja Maji. Although he didn't have a deep friendship with Moonlight Blaze, as a comrade-in-arms who was born and died, if he had Maybe, Mizuki still hopes he can survive.

"What's the problem?" Kakashi asked. "Moonlight Blaze is a special junin who is good at tracking and lurking. He has excellent swordsmanship and good combat power. Isn't it appropriate to investigate the pharmacist's pocket?"

Mizuki nodded and didn't speak. Without accurate information, it seemed impossible to send a stronger ninja, so he couldn't let himself say that Sand Ninja was going to betray. Although there is indeed information showing that this ally who has been unconvinced by Konoha has been acting abnormally recently, it is still too shocking to say that Sand Ninja will join forces with Orochimaru to attack Konoha Village.

"I really can't help you, moonlight and wind, you can only ask for more happiness. 』

Haruno Sakura, who was listening to Mizuki and Kakashi talking, suddenly interjected: "Kakashi-sensei, the moonlight blast you are talking about is the examiner of the Chunin exam, and Yakushi is the examinee who took the exam together, right?"

"Yeah." Kakashi replied.

"But why are they all Konoha ninjas, Senior Dou is going to attack Sasuke, and the village's special Junin is going to investigate?"

Mizuki listened to Sakura's question, looked at Kakashi and said, "Did you not tell your subordinates any information?"

Kakashi responded embarrassedly: "Didn't you forget this? Anyway, no one asked, I thought I knew it. Sakura, the senior dou in your mouth is actually Orochimaru's subordinate and traitor. Well-meaning."

"How could this be?" For Sakura, who has rarely been exposed to the dark side of ninjas, the Orochimaru attack was very frightening. This time, I heard that the senior who was close at hand was actually a spy with evil intentions. It hit Sakura's worldview.

"Sakura, that's how the ninja world is. Betrayal, injury, and even death are all things to face." Mizuki said comfortingly.

"Is that so, the teacher has also had this experience?" Sakura asked.

"Hey, Sakura, some things are too early for Genin, but it's time for you to know what happened around you." Kakashi felt that he should do his part as a teacher, "I still remember. Is it the mission of the Land of Waves, the attack of Shiro and Shiro? Naruto and Sasuke almost died? There are more things behind it than you imagined. Do you remember that Mizuki-sensei was seriously injured when you returned to the village? In fact, he With your chunin exam instructors, Moonlight Hikaze and Mori Ibiki, both participated in the mission of the Land of Waves, secretly, Konoha ninja blocked the attack of ninjas from other villages, so that we only need to face two people."

Kakashi said with a sigh: "Sometimes fighting in the sun is not everything, and fighting behind the scenes is also extremely important. The ninja school teaches you skills such as stealth and counter-espionage, not just for exams. , is for you to actually use to protect yourself."

"Okay, Kakashi, now is not the time to preach, don't you still have something to do?" Mizuki said further and further, and said to Kakashi.

"Yes, then I'll go first."

Watching Kakashi leave, Mizuki turned his head to Haruno Sakura and said, "It's not good for you to know too much about some things, it will hurt your enthusiasm."

"Yes, Mr. Mizuki."

Looking at Sakura, who was studying hard, Mizuki sincerely hoped that this smart girl wouldn't think too much, and it would be fine.

On a high roof in Konoha Village, Jiraiya leaned against the railing and watched with interest the farce below. The elite teacher Ebisu was teaching Naruto Uzumaki to use chakra skills. People are always bad, they are scalded by the hot water of the hot spring, they are soaked all over, and they are bickering with Ebisu. Since yesterday, Jirai has been observing this pair of living treasures, and the open-minded Jirai is also laughed at by the funny Naruto from time to time.

At this moment, an uninvited figure appeared behind Jiraiya and slowly walked over.

"Hey, have you been discovered yet?"

"You didn't hide it well. Isn't it normal to be found out? Jiraiya." From time to time, others came, but it was Jiraiya's teacher, the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Rizan, "I have been away from the village for so many years, this time Is there anything wrong with coming back?"

"What else is there to do?" Zilai also replied, "I am quite a famous and popular writer."

"Okay, it's up to you." The third generation also had a headache for Jirai's unfrank character, "But this time back is just right, the current situation of the village, after watching it for so many days, you must have some understanding."

"So many days? Did someone find out who told you the secret?"

"Don't talk about those irrelevant things, you already know the news of Orochimaru's return, this time I will make up for the mistakes of the year." Sandai said, "I am also getting older, no matter what the outcome is, I hope you can take over for me. s position."

"Old man, stop joking, I'm not interested in staying as this thankless Hokage, you should find someone else, there are many people who want to be."

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Sandai also said regretfully: "I know you were dissatisfied with my actions back then, otherwise you and Tsunade would not have wandered outside for so many years and never came back, but as the leader of the village, weighing the pros and cons is It is an inevitable thing, and it cannot be accommodated to a few people.”

Sarutobi Hizan has been Hokage for so many years, and the situation in the village is the most clear. When the situation is unfavorable, it sacrifices the interests of a few people and maintains the authority of the village. I don’t know how many times I have done it over the years. He started, and he acquiesced. The death of Hyuga Neji's father, Hyuga Richa, and Uchiha's extermination were just two of the more famous ones.

"So I can't do this kind of thing, so let's leave it to someone more suitable to do it."

"Hey," Sandai sighed, "Then what do you want to do when you come back this time? Did you hear some bad news?"

"Forget it, but this time I met an interesting guy." Jirai was also noncommittal, looking at the funny Naruto Uzumaki below.

"Oh? What is your destiny's child's prophecy again?"

"Who knows? That is the nine-tailed man Zhuli, the fourth generation son has also grown up healthy!"

"Well, Konoha is already an excellent ninja, quite similar to you back then."

"Time flies so fast, four generations have sacrificed for more than ten years, and my son is so old." As if remembering something, Zilai couldn't help but say: "Don't die, old man~"
