Chapter 87 - Chapter 88: Jiraiya

For Momo's words, it was no less than a shocking thunderbolt appearing in the hearts of Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Sandaime, causing them to be alarmed.

It was true that they hadn't thought about the possibility of other ninja villages sending people to contact Hattori Masanari before, but now with Momo's words, they had to take this possibility into consideration.

The three of them were not stupid, they were naturally able to see where Hattori Masanari's value lay, and the plan, if it really worked, and allowed a part of Amegakure to get close to Konoha, would indeed be very beneficial to Konoha, and at the very least, the pressure they would face from Amegakure in the future would be much less.

But if they don't go to contact Hattori Masanari and give him support, and instead let the people of other ninja villages contact them and successfully reach cooperation, then it will undoubtedly cause a lot of pressure on Konoha.

After all, judging from Hattori Masanari's current attitude towards Amegakure, it wasn't very friendly, and it might actually be possible that they would be cooperated with by Hattori Masanari, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure and other ninja villages that hadn't had any conflicts with Amegakure.

And Hanzo is equally hostile to Konoha.

It was like the high ground of public opinion, if your side didn't go to occupy it, then the enemy would.

The thought that Hattori Masanari would fall to the other ninja villages, Amegakure would get support from the other ninja villages and develop again, and Hattori Masanari would be just as hostile to Konoha as Hanzo, and the two of them would work together to deal with Konoha, Sandaime and the others felt a huge pressure in their hearts.

Hanzo alone gave Konoha a big headache, and now there is an additional strength no less than the power of the Sannin, Hattori Masanari, the pressure is not simply one plus one so simple.

Once Hanzo released the worries of the Amegakure, he could let go of his hands and feet to do a big fight, the pressure he will cause to Konoha on the battlefield will definitely be many times greater than before.

Whether the young Sannin would be able to hold him off was unknown.

Of course, the other ninja villages supporting Hattori Masanari would likewise face tremendous risks, and their plans would probably fail.

It was just that Sandaime, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado didn't dare to gamble on this possibility of failure right now.

Because once the gamble was lost, then the three of them would be the sinners of Konoha.

"Ahem, Momo is right, supporting Hattori Masanari in this matter should be considered more carefully, I personally believe that this matter has great potential, even if it doesn't work out, we should let Hattori Masanari see our Konoha's sincerity, moreover, from the current point of view, Hanzo still needs this person very much."

Sandaime coughed and finally voiced his opinion.

"I agree."

Momo immediately agreed.

This plan had come out of Tsunade's hands, and it was great, so she was definitely going to give it her strong support.

When Utatane Koharu heard Sandaime's support for this plan, and Momo chose to support it as well, she knew that it wouldn't help if she and Homura Mitokado opposed it any further.

Moreover, she herself was now shaken by the decision she had just made.

Indeed, as Sandaime had just said, even if this plan failed, it was imperative that Hattori Masanari see Konoha's sincerity and reduce his hostility towards Konoha, as well as not being able to allow Hattori Masanari to be drawn in by the other ninja villages.

Left and right was nothing more than spending some money.

Compared to starting another war and spending a huge amount of money to win Amegakure once more, spending some money to buy peace was a good choice.

Thus, Utatane Koharu sighed after a moment of silence, "Although the success rate of this plan is very low, considering that other ninja villages may also intervene in Amegakure's internal power struggles, we, Konoha, do need to get in touch with this guy called Hattori Masanari."

"Not bad, that's what I'm thinking right now as well, and I have to remind you that this matter must be done with the fastest speed possible, and we can't let the other ninja villages catch up to us Konoha."

When Homura Mitokado saw Utatane Koharu voicing his support, he followed suit and made a reminder.

"That's right, the speed of doing this must be fast, before this Hattori Masanari goes back to Amegakure, we have to find a chance to get in touch with him as soon as possible, once he goes back to Amegakure, it will be difficult if we want to find another chance to get in touch with him."

Sandaime nodded and said.

"Then who will be sent to make contact with Hattori Masanari?"

Seeing that everyone's opinions had been aligned, Utatane Koharu began to voice a more crucial question.

"Since this plan is Tsunade's idea, it's only natural that she should be the one to make contact with Hattori Masanari."

Momo did not hesitate to choose to let Tsunade take over this matter.

This matter was obviously a fat job, as long as she succeeded in getting in touch with Hattori Masanari, the subsequent support of Konoha for Hattori Masanari would probably fall into the hands of the person who carried out this matter, with many benefits, and in the future if the plan succeeded, it would be another great achievement.

If Tsunade can successfully take over this matter, in the future it will definitely be a great help for her to take over the position of Hokage.

"I don't agree, Tsunade has only just had a bad deal with Hattori Masanari, letting her touch Hattori Masanari now will most likely backfire."

Utatane Koharu sniffed, and immediately raised a reasoned objection.

"There are indeed concerns in this regard, and since Tsunade has just returned and is about to take over the hospital side of things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to juggle both."

Sandaime hesitated for a moment before agreeing with Utatane Koharu.

Seeing this, Momo's expression became a bit ugly, snorted coldly, and said no more.

Sandaime's opinion had a great impact on decision making, and now that he was in agreement with Utatane Koharu, she knew that it was impossible for her proposal to pass, and now she could only watch as Tsunade's credit was going to be split, her heart was very upset.

"How about Jiraiya? He is now in the Land of Rain territory, having him come into contact with Hattori Masanari is also acceptable in terms of status, and is not considered to be neglecting Hattori Masanari."

Homura Mitokado spoke out his favored candidate at this time.

"This proposal is good, this bastard kid now rely on the Land of Rain refuses to leave, it is just right to let him in the Land of Rain to do something for Konoha, it is regarded as making up for the past."

Sandaime heard Homura Mitokado's words and immediately brightened up, decisively fighting for this good errand for his disciple.

He was having a headache with this matter of Jiraiya's asshole disciple ignoring his orders, and now that Jiraiya had this errand, he could rightfully ask Jiraiya to stay in the Land of Rain for a long time.

"Agreed."

Utatane Koharu was also in favor of this proposal.

The Jiraiya she remembered was not a very reliable womanizer, but his social skills were the best among the three ninjas, and he was a somewhat naive thinker, a peace-loving guy, so putting him in contact with the equally peace-loving Hattori Masanari might be of great use.

"Alright, just choose him."

Momo then remembered that white-haired kid Jiraiya and agreed.

If it was Jiraiya, she could accept it.

After all, that horny white-haired kid wasn't interested in the position of Hokage, and was also interested in Tsunade, and would probably support Tsunade as Hokage in the future, sort of rotting in the pot.

Soon after the five made a resolution, a messenger eagle flew out of the Konoha and flew over to the Land of Rain.

Half a day later, a Konoha ANBU ninja arrived in front of a fairly well-preserved house in the Land of Rain.

He had just reached the door when a man with long white hair like a waterfall suddenly appeared in front of him, none other than Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.

Jiraiya looked at this Konoha ANBU ninja who had sneaked in and sighed, "Didn't I tell the old man before, that I would naturally go back when the time comes."

Meanwhile, by the window of the house, three little kids with different hair colors were getting together, the three of them nervously peeking through the window at Jiraiya and the Konoha ANBU ninja outside the house.
