"This..." Jiraiya was also stunned. He said it out loud. He was worried that the old man wouldn't be able to take this blow. Now he understood a little bit of what Tsunade said when he was a child:
"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, do you two know that my grandpa said that our teacher (Third Hokage) was better when he was young, but when he turns old, his true nature would be revealed. His courage was not strong enough. Konoha would rise in his hands, but it would also decline in his hands. Do you know what this means?"
Jiraiya didn't know what these words meant when he was a child, but after all these years of setbacks, he completely understood. At the same time, he was very impressed by the foresight of the two founders of Konoha. They could actually see the future development of Konoha in the hands of the Third from so many years ago. They were magnificent.
"It seems that I was wrong all along. The mistake has been made. I can only try my best to make up for it in my lifetime. Jiraiya, promise me that if anything happens to me, you will step up to be the Hokage. Although Tsunade still treats me as her teacher, I know that she will never forgive Konoha and me for the rest of her life."
"I think she had found out a long time ago that the reason why his brother had an accident was actually because of my mistake and the secret operation of Danzo and the others."
"The reason why she didn't act up was that I, her teacher, still didn't want her grandfather's hard work, the Village of Konoha, would be destroyed because of her revenge. You have always been my most trusted disciple. If I am not here, you must stop Danzo. You must not let him mess around. The future of Konoha might be successful because of Ryoha, and he also might be the loser."
It's amazing. If Ryoha knew what the Third was saying, he would definitely be shocked. The truth that was revealed by the Third seemed to be different from what he knew. However, if he knew, besides being surprised by the inside story, he would just take them for granted.
As he said, Tsunade and Nawaki were the most likely candidates to inherit the power of Wood Release. Konoha should have protected them before they were strong enough. How could they let something happen to him on the battlefield? How could they not know that Tsunade had left Konoha?
It turned out that everything was because of the power struggle. Danzo and the other leaders didn't want the Senju family to regain its power and become the rulers above them.
Sure enough, anime is still anime. It magnifies all good things, so everything dark is minimized. The world had a good side and a bad side. It is impossible for such a bloody thing to happen.
"I will try my best, old man." Jiraiya also wanted to refuse, but when he saw the Third begging him for the first time, he just couldn't say it, so his words turned into a yes.
"That's good. As long as you are still here, you can stop Danzo and the others from messing around." The Third said excitedly, but soon he knew that it was not good to lose control of his emotions. After all, he was no longer young, so it was better not to be too excited. Therefore, he quickly collected his emotions and returned to the calm old man.
"Hey, Tsunade, you successfully deceived everyone. After your brother died, you had already guessed that someone had messed with the bloodline of the Senju clan, but you pretended not to know anything and deceived everyone."
"Of course, the Katou Dan should have been secretly killed by you, right? Haha. If it weren't for these years, I always think it's a little out of place, and I thought you would really like him. This Dan, who came from Konoha as a subordinate of Danzo, actually dared to approach you with such a goal."
"I think that when you saw Dan for the first time, you already knew that he had bad intentions, so you pretended not to know. Since Dan wanted to approach you, then you should also investigate the cause of your brother's death. After knowing all of this, Dan immediately died."
"It might look like he was killed by an enemy Ninja, but in fact, all of this was your doing, right? You, having a phobia of blood? haha, you don't have it at all." If the Third was to be surprised by what Ryoha said, then if Ryoha knew what Jiraiya thought in his heart, he would definitely be shocked. This world was a mess.
Whether it was because the real world and anime could not be exactly the same, so at least there would be some variables, or maybe it was the butterfly effect caused by Ryoha's crossing that caused the space-time disturbance that changed Konoha's history.
Katou Dan was not Tsunade's former lover, and he didn't die at the enemy's hands. Instead, he died in Tsunade's hands. From the beginning to the end, Tsunade was single and never liked anyone.
But thinking about it, how could she like such an ordinary guy with her status, strength, and looks? Moreover, he was just a civilian. How could he have the courage and ability to pursue the first beauty of the Land of Fire, the Flower of Konoha, Princess Tsunade?
Everything was because of a conspiracy. It was for the sake of Danzo and the others wanting to deal with Tsunade after taking care of Nawaki, so they plotted something against her and sent Dan. Who was Tsunade? When she was young, she was born into the Senju clan. She was very precocious and cunning. Moreover, she had been on the battlefield and was the commander of the battlefield. She had seen all kinds of plots and tricks. In addition, her brother's death had already made her realize that something was wrong.
She would definitely be more careful. Danzo and the others thought that they could let Dan take advantage of the saddened Tsunade. They didn't know that all of this happened too coincidentally. With Tsunade's keen sense, how could she not notice all of this?
On the surface, she made Danzo and the others think that Dan had obtained Tsunade's trust. In fact, Tsunade was not taken advantage of by Dan in the slightest. She had used him instead to find out his real identity and everything behind the scenes. Therefore, all of this seemed to be in Danzo's hands. In fact, all of this was just an act, Where Tsunade deliberately deceived everyone in order to find out the truth.
If this news was known by Ryoha, he would definitely be shocked for a long time. However, Ryoha would not know all of this for the time being. This was because Ryoha had already returned to the laboratory. Tomorrow was the finals of the Chuunin Exam. Ryoha naturally had to prepare well and have a good rest.
