"Jiraiya, how long are you planning to stay this time?"
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with some fatigue. This scene. It was more like a father, asking his son who had been wandering for many years. Half hesitant and reserved, but he couldn't help but care. "Just like before."
Sidestepping the old man's question, Jiraiya's eyes also dodged a little. "Compared to this, the most important thing is to bring Orochimaru back as soon as possible."
Mentioning Orochimaru. The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into silence. It was very awkward... Jiraiya noticed the deeper wrinkles on his teacher's face, and the completely white hair. Jiraiya felt somewhat unbearable for this teacher who was also like a father. The old man was really getting older every year... Jiraiya saw it in his eyes, but he wouldn't easily say it. After all, with his personality, it really wasn't suitable for him to stay in Konoha all the time. And that guy who was suitable to stay had defected for some reason... Jiraiya's eyes were a little melancholy. "Well, hurry up and bring that traitor back, Konoha can also have an explanation for those families who were harmed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, and then took puff after puff of his smoking pipe. Right now. Only Jiraiya had the ability and willingness to bring Orochimaru back. Even after knowing what Orochimaru had done...
"By the way." As if thinking of something, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said. "Have you met those two disciples of Orochimaru? What do you think?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked. These seemed to be two questions. But in reality, there was only one question... The barrier team had sensed Jiraiya's existence the moment he entered Konoha. And as this bastard's teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew what Jiraiya had done... "But..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said, but his eyes became much more serious. "Unlike Tsunade... she comes from the Uchiha, and her combat talent is more outstanding than her medical talent." "Orochimaru may have just wanted to retaliate against me, and then stifle a genius." "But he only induced this child's medical talent 1.4..." Do you understand, Jiraiya."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said meaningfully. Jiraiya's eyes also gradually became serious. It was the first time he had seen the old man give such a high evaluation to such a young girl. And he probably understood what the old man meant... A genius from the Uchiha. From the Hokage's Anbu. It was full of political atmosphere, and there was no doubt that this was also the old man's request. "Allow me to consider it, old man."
Not in a hurry to agree, nor directly refusing, Jiraiya was rarely stable. After all, although he thought this girl would be very helpful in finding Orochimaru. But he had to consider whether to take the girl into the vortex of Konoha's high-level officials.
