"Jiraiya, yesterday we had a detailed discussion with the lords of the Land of Fire. We have to elect the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible. Only you, one of the Legendary Sannin, have the strength and fame to sit in this position." Koharu said to Jiraiya.
"I'm really sorry. I'm not suitable for this position at all." Jiraiya shook his head and refused. He was too lazy. He really didn't want to be held down by a lot of jobs like the old man or dealing with those big clans every day for power and profit. He was really not interested.
"We have already decided. even if you are one of the Legendary Sannin, who else can you choose?" Homura said.
"Isn't there another one among the Legendary Sannin besides Orochimaru and me?" Jiraiya said this and deliberately looked at the two of them. Sure enough, both of their faces changed slightly, and Jiraiya sighed. It seemed that they also had responsibility for Tsunade's brother. Although they didn't participate directly, they definitely knew this matter, but they kept silent.
"You're right. Tsunade was the commander of the Second World War. Her leadership ability was excellent, but now no one knows where she is."
Homura's face was a bit strange, but obviously, it was not a concern at this time unless they turned to Danzo.
Otherwise, as Konoha's counselor, they would follow every Hokage. Without the existence of the Hokage, they would never have the power do anything. Therefore, even if they were guilty, they could only choose Tsunade. After all, if Jiraiya wanted to leave, they would not be able to stop him.
"That is to say, as long as I can find her, everything will be fine." In fact, Jiraiya was also uncertain. Who knew if Tsunade would kill him if she was angry? However, for the sake of his happy life, he could not be bound by the position of Hokage. He could only sacrifice himself once.
"Compared to the clever Tsunade, I am obviously not suitable to be a Hokage."
While the three were having their conversation, Itachi appeared along with another member of the Akatsuki. He was worried that someone would harm his brother if the Third died, so he immediately returned to Konoha. It might look like he was here to catch the Nine-tailed Fox, but in reality, he was here to warn Konoha that he, Itachi, was still alive. If they wanted him to continue working for Konoha, they should not touch his brother.
Precisely because of his existence that Danzo did not dare to touch Sasuke. Although Danzo was very confident since he had obtained a lot of Sharingan and was very strong, after all, time was not forgiving. In the face of Itachi, who had awakened the powerful Mangekyo when he was only ten years old, he did not dare to make their relationship too stiff.
"Kurenai, why are you here?" Kakashi was leaning against the door of a small restaurant. He was secretly spying on the two mysterious people in black-and-red robes. Seeing that Kurenai was here, he immediately gave her a look. In the original story, Kurenai and Asuma had already started dating, but now it was completely different.
Kurenai didn't have this idea at all. She was single until now, so she didn't get teased by Kakashi like the original.
"Nothing, I just went to see Haku. She is a very interesting child. It's really hard to imagine how she trained to this level all these years. Her talent is really amazing." Kurenai also noticed that Kakashi gave her a look and told her to be on guard, but on the surface, she pretended that she didn't know anything.
Not long after, Asuma came after dealing with the 3rd. He liked Kurenai, but unfortunately, Kurenai didn't care about him. Now that she saw Kakashi's signal, she knew that things might not be simple, so she was secretly on guard.
"Kakashi-sensei, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me." At this time, the voice of Sasuke suddenly came, making Kakashi worry. He had basically confirmed that the person inside was Itachi. He was also worried that Sasuke would make things worse.
"Sometimes, I also come early." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Because Itachi had already left, he quickly gave Kurenai and Asuma a look to signal them to follow him. Then, he settled things with Sasuke.
Fortunately, Sasuke did not like sweets or dango, so Kakashi didn't need to worry anymore. He quickly sent him away and then rushed over as fast as he could.
If it were really as he thought, then only Jiraiya could suppress Itachi. However, Jiraiya was looking for Naruto at the Ichiraku Ramen, so it was too late to ask for help.
"You two don't seem to be from our village, right? What are you doing here?" Asuma had already picked up his chakra blades.
"It's been a long time, Asuma-san, Kurenai-san." Itachi took off his bamboo hat, revealing his iconic Sharingan, which made the faces of Kurenai and Asma slightly change. At the same time, they looked at him vigilantly.
"You are.. Itachi!" Asuma already knew that this would not end well.
"So you already know each other. Then let me introduce myself. My name is Hoshigaki Kisame. Kisame sneered and took off his bamboo hat. He still didn't pay much attention to Kurenai and Asuma, not to mention that there was also Itachi, who he was very afraid of.
"But I don't think you will have a future because I will take care of you right here!" Asuma took out his chakra blade, and after injecting them with chakra, he extended the blade.
"I think I know who you are. You are a traitor from Kirigakure. Because you assassinated other countries' daimyo and attempted a coup d'etat against the village, you are classified as an S-rank fugitive." Kurenai's pupils contracted. Itachi was already not easy to deal with, and there was also a Kisame. This was really troublesome.
"Asuma, Kurenai, I would like to ask the two of you to leave me alone. I really don't want to kill both of you." Itachi said flatly as if saying that he was pinching two ants to death instead of two Jonins.
"It seems like we can't settle things peacefully. Then leave him to me." Kisame drew out the Samehada and smashed a pit on the ground with astonishing strength. Kurenai immediately used a genjutsu to seal Kisame and Itachi. Unfortunately, while her genjutsu might be useful to Kisame, for Itachi, a 3-tomoe Sharingan was enough to rebound it back.
