Chapter 374 What Did You Forget?

Konoha has been experiencing a lot of big events recently. First, there were the invasions and brawls that broke out during the Chunin Exams. Then there was the inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage, followed by the funeral of the Third Hokage... Tsunade said with the highest His teacher was buried in a ceremony, and then Konoha completed the transfer of supreme power in an extremely smooth transition.

This "stability" is the result of the interaction of many factors. Firstly, because the Sandaime Hokage had made all the arrangements before his death, and he had asked Tsunade to be a trainee Hokage for a period of time; secondly, because Tsunade herself had Overwhelming the prestige of all parties in Konoha, she is the first-generation granddaughter and third-generation disciple of the Senju clan, and she is also the Slug Princess, one of the three ninjas. She is naturally expected to succeed the Hokage, and thirdly, because she can cause the greatest obstacle to this matter overtly and covertly. He has sacrificed his life together with the Sandaime... he is considered a hero and brave.

If Konoha had a job like "Character Decryption", probably because of this last "passive" move, Danzo's evaluation would have greatly increased. Sacrifice for the village was probably the most commendable thing in his life. Something happened.

Any ninja who can do this is commendable, even if he is Danzo.

By the time Hagoromo and Naruto returned to Konoha, all major events had been basically settled, and only about ten days had passed from beginning to end.

Konoha has adapted to the new Hokage, and everything is back on track in an orderly manner.

The damage caused by Orochimaru before is also being gradually repaired, and everything will be completely healed before long.

At this time, Yuyi stood in front of the tombstone of the Third Hokage, but what was he paying homage to? To be honest, he didn't even know it himself.

The time two people spend together does not represent how important they are to each other, but it does have a certain connection. In many things, Hagoromo is not exempt from vulgarity. In other words, except for "occasionally" causing trouble (note the key words), he is no different from the most ordinary people.

He couldn't be completely indifferent to the Sandaime incident.

What's more, although everything is the Sandaime's own decision, Hagoromo also played a very important role in it, so he also needs to bear part of the consequences and responsibility.

Although no one will hold him accountable and harshly.

"Sometimes, there is some misalignment that makes me feel like I killed the Sandaime...except that Orochimaru is still alive, everything follows the Sandaime's vision and plan during his lifetime, but...is this what is called meaning? "

"Is there any meaning equivalent to life?"

Hagoromo asked suddenly, he was not talking to himself mentally.

There are people here who can answer his questions.

"For a ninja, death is something that can happen at any time. It is full of suddenness, chance and even... ordinaryness, so for us, death is always inevitable."

"But if you can choose the way you die, that would be the best, because if you have to choose between meaningful and meaningless, naturally the former is the must choice."

"This is especially true for a ninja with the identity of 'Shadow'. But 'meaningful' is always a relative concept. Perhaps for the thirty-year-old Sandaime, this does not mean much, but for Seven For the ten-year-old Sandaime, this is probably the best choice for him to realize his final value..."

"Maybe I have a deeper understanding of Sarutobi-sensei's sacrifice than you do. After all, I will reach his age soon... So, in comparison, what happened to Minato back then makes people feel so regretful."

The only person who could come here at this time and make such an explanation was probably Jiraiya.

Hagoromo didn't look back, he just turned his back to Jiraiya and nodded, indicating that he understood... In fact, what he just said was just a momentary emotion, and there was no need for such consolation.

Self-persuasion is more fundamental and important than the comfort of others.

"There are no problems within the village now. Tsunade has really become the fifth generation, and there is only one problem left that needs to be solved..."

"The most important issue facing Konoha now is how to deal with the relationship with Sunagakure. Fortunately, both parties are relatively restrained, but... is the news that Chiyo is dead true?" After a moment of silence, Jiraiya asked again.

This issue is quite serious, so he needs to confirm it with Yuyi.

Hagoromo left the village initially for Shukaku, but later he told Jiraiya that he wanted to take the initiative to track Chiyo, because at that time he had a vague feeling that the other party could use special methods to rescue Gaara... ...and then this happened.

Later he found Naruto again, and at this time the explanation changed to capture Uncle Snake.

Although he eventually caught up with Uncle Snake, his actual purpose was to get rid of the Nine-Tails in Naruto... What a terrifying thing it was when lies had become a habit.

"It's true. Chiyo's death is a fact that I witnessed with my own eyes." Based on the situation that Hagoromo saw at that time, Chiyo was indeed dead.

"That means that during the Chunin Exams, Sunagakure lost the Fourth Kazekage and Advisor Chiyo one after another..." Jiraiya thought for a moment, and then continued, "In this case, the opponent's high-end combat power has already withstood a considerable amount of A certain degree of loss, and more importantly, the sudden loss of the Kazekage will cause Sunagakure to fall into a certain degree of chaos. With the Third Kazekage's lessons learned, Sunagakure will not take the opportunity to attack Konoha now."

There is nothing wrong with Jiraiya's judgment. Although Konoha has also lost the Hokage, but comparing the strength difference between the two sides, Sunagakure probably will not make any unwise moves.

"Originally, they had no excuse for war. The Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru, and the dispute between Konoha and Sunagakure was provoked by Orochimaru by taking advantage of the distrust between the two parties. We are also victims in this matter. ...In short, just put all the responsibility on Orochimaru."

Well, Hagoromo's last words spoke true to his true feelings.

Although Orochimaru started the trouble this time, he should not bear all the responsibility in terms of the process.

But there's nothing wrong with letting him take the blame. As long as the whole thing is blamed on him, then both Konoha and Sunagakure will have steps to go down, and the possibility of peacefully resolving the matter will be greater.

Anyway, Orochimaru is a homeless old bachelor, so it doesn't matter if he adds a little more notoriety to him. He probably doesn't even care about this kind of problem... Whether he cares about it or not, Hagoromo just pretends that he doesn't care about it.

So...Who did Orochimaru provoke, and he was going to be blamed?

If the blame is placed on each other, Konoha and Sunagakure will inevitably fight under the premise that both parties have lost their current "shadow", but fortunately Orochimaru is there.

Orochimaru is everyone's Orochimaru. He is neither tall nor short, nor fat nor thin, just right. Moreover, he did cause trouble during the Chunin Exam not long ago, so if the responsibility is not his, who else should it be?

All the mistakes were Amaru's fault. In this matter, Sunagakure could only deal with it haha. Otherwise, would he have to fight Konoha?

So what else can Orochimaru do? Just listen to what other people say and make your own decision. You can only give up all logic on weekend nights and lie on the sofa in grievance...

In fact, there is no need for Hagoromo to suggest this matter. This is what Konoha and Sunagakure are doing now... The great ninja village is rogue, but it is much more rogue than Hagoromo.

"Tsunade-sama, let me explain to you the detailed process of this trip."

Sunagakure's problem was not only the loss of Chiyo and Kazekage, but also the permanent loss of Shukaku. However, perhaps due to various concerns, they did not explain this matter to Konoha.

This is natural. After all, it would be strange if the Konoha Shukaku who was so enthusiastic about Sunagakure disappeared... What's more, they haven't figured out how Shukaku disappeared.

Similarly, after Konoha lost the Kyuubi, Hagoromo also needed to explain to the Godaime.

"Of course Tsunade is in the office, although she seems reluctant..." Jiraiya said.

For Tsunade to stay in the Hokage's office, given her character, it can be imagined that she will be quite embarrassed and uncomfortable, especially in the initial adaptation stage.

Maybe she would go on strike from time to time...but fortunately, the nanny Shizune kept urging her.

As Yuyi and Jiraiya spoke, they turned around and prepared to leave from here.

But Yuyi always feels that he has forgotten something. Is there anything necessary that he has not yet explained? But if you can't remember it all the time, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Fortunately, Jiraiya gave him a heads up.

"By the way, after the chunin exams, Uchiha Sasuke, the last descendant of the Uchiha clan and the seventh class, disappeared. Do you know what happened?"

Yuyi was stunned:

Oh, there is something else going on.

Well, this last Uchiha seems to be an important character, but it seems that he will not cause any interference to Hagoromo's purpose, so that is not the character that Shiroyasha-san needs to focus on.
