Uzumaki Naruto looked at Mitarashi Anko who was smiling but with murderous intent. He quickly raised his arms and showed his loyalty to the elder sister who had been giving him extra lessons!

"I...I don't have this idea..."

Xiang Ling shook his head cautiously and whispered: "If someone wants to kill Teacher Hongdou in the future, I will save you..."

"Xiang Phosphorus is so good."

Anko Mitarashi rubbed her red hair with a smile, patted Uzumaki Naruto's head, and pinched Uzumaki Naruto's little face: "You kid wants to kill me, but it's a hundred years too early.

It’s the next year! You must continue to guarantee me a pass next time…”

Mitarai Anko still looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a smile, but a hint of gloomy murderous intention loomed: "If your grades go backwards, I will kill you first!"

"I know...I know..."

Uzumaki Naruto stuttered in response.

"What an extreme education method..."

Jiraiya stood next to Ichiraku Ramen and shook his head helplessly. He did not disturb the gathering of his disciples and old friends, and hid in a place by himself.

It wasn't until Akihara Kagura finished eating ramen with them and watched Mitarashi Anko leave with Uzumaki Naruto and Karin that she found Jiraiya's location.

At exactly this time, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen learned the news that Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura had returned to Konoha, and immediately sent ANBU to order them to go to the Hokage Tower.

The person who came to deliver the order was Kakashi Hatake.

After not seeing each other for two years, Hatake Kakashi still wore a mask when conveying orders, but beside him was a purple-haired female ninja who also wore a mask.

Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya were buying pear juice when they saw them, and asked Hatake Kakashi casually: "Long time no see, Captain Kakashi, would you like a drink?"

After Akihara Kagura finished asking, she looked at the purple-haired female ninja and continued to ask: "Captain Kakashi, you have a new teammate by your side. Has my establishment in the ANBU been canceled?"

"Akihara Kagura Chuunin."

The female ninja with purple hair on one side wore a mask, and seemed to have kept in mind Kakashi Hatake's teachings, and whispered: "Please do not call the ANBU ninja by his real name when the ANBU is performing a mission."

"There is no need to persuade this guy."

Kakashi Hatake interrupted his subordinates helplessly and looked at Akihara Kagura: "Your ANBU staff are still there. Come with us to the Hokage Tower first. The Third Hokage has been waiting for you. Maybe

There is something important."

Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to be older.

The Hokage has been in power for too long, and the recent internal troubles in Konoha have made him mentally and physically exhausted. When he saw Jiraiya and Akihara Kagura coming in, his mood seemed to improve a little.

"Kagura has grown up a lot..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and saw that Akihara Kagura had obviously grown up a lot. After saying hello casually, he gave instructions: "Kakashi, go and take Akihara Kagura to learn about Chunin.

The assessment task for promotion to Jonin..."

"yes."

Hatake Kakashi nodded and took Akihara Kagura out.

"Hey, old man."

Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and seemed to know his teacher very well. He grinned and said softly: "Is it because you are calling us back in such a hurry just to promote Kagura to become a jounin? The task level performed by this little guy is enough?

"

"This is a special promotion from the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has his own power to select Jonin, and even he has good reasons: "Kagura has made great contributions to the relationship between Konoha, Kirigakure and Iwagakure. These contributions are enough for the little guy

Promoted to be a Jonin..."

Whether in war years or in peace times, Akihara Kagura's strength and achievements were enough for Konoha to promote him to Jonin.

In other words…

It would be strange if he was not promoted!

"Let's get down to business."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, his eyes becoming particularly firm: "There is a possibility of rebellion in the Uchiha clan. Promoting Kagura to become a Jonin is of great significance, so that the Uchiha clan understands that the village's senior officials have power over them.

Absolute suppression made them realize that their rebellion could not succeed..."

For these things…

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hide Jiraiya.

Because as long as Jiraiya stayed in the village for two days, he would be able to keenly notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village. ANBU ninjas frequently appeared around the Uchiha clan. The ninjas of the Uchiha clan frequently gathered for gatherings and even prepared their armaments.

.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have brought Kagura back..."

Jiraiya shook his head and sighed, not wanting his disciple to become a tool pawn for Konoha's top brass, especially a pawn used to suppress the internal forces.

"Jiraiya."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya and said solemnly: "This is to ensure peace in the village. I issued a summons order to both you and Tsunade. Tsunade ignored my handwriting..."

"This is normal."

Jiraiya understands the thoughts of his old teammate very well: "Are you asking Tsunade to deal with the ninjas in the village as enemies? Tsunade is a medical ninja, there is no way she will agree to you..."

"but…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciples and continued in a deep voice: "Facing the Uchiha who may rebel, the village must have overwhelming power to promote the peaceful resolution of the problems between Konoha and Uchiha..."

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is not a person who likes to use force to suppress, but he cannot do without force, because force is the basis of negotiation.

Konoha has reached a historical bifurcation point.

Any power is extremely important to Konoha today. For this purpose, Hiruzen Sarutobi specially recruited two of his disciples and many ninjas who were performing missions outside.

If something goes wrong and the Uchiha clan's rebellion causes huge losses, Konoha may be doomed.

It would be best if the Uchiha problem could be solved peacefully...

If there are no more problems within Konoha by then, coupled with Konoha's huge diplomatic advantage now, there will be no external war.

Konoha will usher in a long period of complete peace.

"I hope it can be resolved peacefully!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood by the window, sighed softly, and said: "Don't leave Konoha for a while, Jiraiya..."

"Forget it, I'm not interested!"

Jiraiya shook his head, frowned and said: "It's enough to let Kagura stay in Konoha. I have completed the task you gave me well. That little guy has learned the magic of immortality!"

"oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up.

If this is the case, that little guy Akihara Kagura can learn the more powerful celestial arts left by the first Hokage!

Thus…

Konoha will be more confident in solving the Uchiha clan's problems!

Even if the Uchiha clan is really determined to rebel, there is still a hidden Mangekyō Sharingan inside, and there are still people in the village who can compete with it!

If the Uchiha clan really spared no expense to secretly capture the three-tailed jinchuriki, the fourth generation Mizukage Gou Tachibana Yagura and the nine-tailed jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto living in Konoha, Akihara Kagura learned what the first generation Hokage left behind

Immortal magic is enough to solve these troubles!

Third update!

Ahhhhh!

Finally caught up, today is a success!
Chapter completed!
