Chapter 333: The Departure of Hiruko and the New Jonin

"I saw it. The sun was bright yesterday at noon, but the sky east of the village was as beautiful as the sunset~"

“Why the sunset?”

"Oh, idiot, it's because the sky is red from the fire~"

Tiantian gave Xiao Li a helpless look, then looked at the boy on the other side who had his forehead bandaged and his black hair tied up.

"Ningji, did you see that too?"

Neji glanced at Tenten calmly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Ah."

Smile every day.

Neji has always been very aloof and rarely pays attention to others, but if the topic is about fighting, it can attract his attention.

"Hey, Xiao Li, who won in the end? Did Lord Kai and Lord Dai defeat Lord Beiluhu?"

Xiao Li's two big eyes widened and he shook his head blankly.

"I don't know. Teacher Kai didn't tell me."

"Oh~ Then let me guess, Master Beiluhu didn't show up again, so he must have lost!"

Tiantian did not hesitate to regard Beiliu Hucai, who had a bad reputation, as the loser.

"Do not."

Neji suddenly interrupted.

"Although Might Guy and Might Dai are very strong, my father said that Mr. Hiruko is the strongest ninja in Konoha right now, no doubt about it."

Neji calmly refuted Tenten's speculation, which made Tenten pout a little unhappy.

But immediately, Tiantian started grinning again.

Ningji took the initiative to talk to her!

Seeing Tenten smiling happily, Neji inexplicably avoided it and left.

"It's time to go to class."

......

Almost everyone in Konoha Village knew about the battle between Might and his son, Hiruho.

Despite the huge noise and the powerful double move that dyed half the sky red, only a few people still believed that Might and his son defeated Hiruho.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Although Obito is annoying, his strength is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even the Fourth Hokage can't do anything to him. The people of Konoha don't know who else can suppress Obito except Mr. Kozo.

Of course, hard power is only one of the important factors in determining victory or defeat. In fact, the major families still have some hidden treasures that can be used against Beiliuhu, but that is just the desire to win shown by a nouveau riche kid. There is no need to fight to the death.

Hiruko left Konoha.

This news was spread with the first appearance of Might and his son after the battle.

At this time, the people in the village suddenly realized.

Everyone felt a little uncomfortable. The usually bustling Konoha suddenly became quiet. Some people were not used to it because Obito was gone!

"Where did this guy Biru go? Orochimaru, don't tell me he betrayed the village again!"

Jiraiya received the news and hurried to the Hokage's office.

After all, Beiliuhu had defected passively before, so it is possible that he would defect again.

Although Jiraiya is the captain of the Jonin squad and holds a high position of power, Hiruzen calls him "not a Jonin"!

"He went to find a way to save Sichuan and Tibet."

In contrast to Jiraiya's panic, Orochimaru calmly flipped through the ninja world intelligence without even raising his head.

"Save Sichuan and Tibet...Alas..."

Jiraiya sighed and sat down next to him.

"Even you and Tsunade haven't found a way. Is there any other place in the Ninja World that can rescue Kawanzo? Orochimaru, do you think there is a way?"

Putting down the information in his hand, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya's somewhat distressed expression, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Of course there is. Chuan Zang is not dead, but has fallen into a state where he cannot wake up. It looks like some kind of irreversible illusion."

Of course Orochimaru would study Kawanzo. Not only that, he also conducted experiments. However, they were superficial experiments and did not reach the level of evil human experiments.

"But I don't think this is some kind of illusion, because the chakra in Kawazo's body is very stable, with no signs of being disturbed or modified. Instead, it seems like some kind of body protection mechanism. However, we don't know enough about Wood Release, so whether it's the first generation's illness or Kawazo's situation, we can't quickly resolve it."

In fact, Orochimaru's understanding of Wood Release is second only to that of Wood Release users, and even stronger than Yamato. But for Orochimaru, not mastering it and not fully understanding it is equivalent to not understanding it. Science requires such meticulousness and caution.

Jiraiya didn't understand what Orochimaru said, he just wanted to know one thing.

"Biliuhu, will you come back?"

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Orochimaru nodded.

"meeting."

"Huh? Are you so sure, Orochimaru?"

"So what if you don't come back?"

Orochimaru smiled.

Jiraiya was stunned when he saw Orochimaru's calm and confident smile.

He felt in his heart that Orochimaru, who became the Fourth Hokage, seemed to have changed a lot.

Although Orochimaru has always been very confident, especially when he has sufficient intelligence, he remains calm in the face of emergencies.

But compared to his previous snake-like nature of calculating everything and drawing blood with a single blow, the current Orochimaru has become more free and open-minded.

A snake walking in the sun does not need to use venom to kill its enemy. It only needs to show its fangs, and it will naturally be intimidating enough.

"Why, have you started liking men recently, Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru looked at the dazed Jiraiya and snorted.

"You stared at me for more than three seconds. This length of time is a bit dangerous."

"Get out of here!"

Jiraiya cursed.

Some people say that Jiraiya is not strong enough and he is too lazy to argue with others. Some people say that Jiraiya relies on Orochimaru's support and he does not need to defend himself. But if someone says that he likes men, Jiraiya will definitely not sit still. If the news gets out, how will others view him! Tsuna......

Jiraiya, feeling a little annoyed, patted his butt, stood up and left the Hokage's office.

As the squad leader of the Jonin squad, even if he doesn't manage much, he is still very busy. After all, management matters can make things less stressful, but task assignments must go through his hands before they can be assigned and executed. This is a responsibility, but also a restriction.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Jiraiya, who had already left the office, seemed to remember something and looked back.

"Yuhi Kurenai's mission to become a jonin has been completed. Can you please ask me for permission to go to the Daimyo's mansion?"

Everyone knows why Kurenai Yuhi went to the Daimyo Prefecture, but this matter involves the arrangements made by Orochimaru when he took office - Sarutobi Asuma will be one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the Daimyo Prefecture.

Kurenai Yuhi knew that even if she went to the daimyo's mansion alone as a non-ninja when she had no mission, no one would say anything, not even the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru.

But doing so might sow discord between Asuma and Orochimaru. As a more mature girl, she knew that she shouldn't be so willful.

Orochimaru looked up at Jiraiya and waved his hand in boredom.

"Now that you've become a jonin, it's up to you, the jonin squad leader, to make the arrangements. Don't try to slack off, Jiraiya."

"Ah!"

Jiraiya snorted and laughed.

Orochimaru doesn't trust Asuma or Kurenai, but Jiraiya!

As expected of Jiraiya's companion!
