Chapter 278 The Third Resurrected One
"Turn to the next room," Xiaochun emphasized.
"Konoha is extremely weak right now. In order to restore Konoha's vitality as soon as possible, we will continue to have one person step forward to lead everyone."
And naturally, you, as one of the Legendary Sannin, are the most suitable person for this role.
Mitomon added.
"Furthermore, the Fire Country Daimyo said before leaving Konoha that we should select a Fifth Hokage as soon as possible so that Konoha could resume operations quickly..."
"That's enough, you two!"
Jiraiya raised his hand to interrupt the two.
"I said a long time ago that I am not suitable to be Hokage. If I really had any desire for the position of Hokage, I would have returned the year Minato died."
Becoming Hokage is not a good choice for me or for the village.
Mitokado asked somewhat anxiously.
"But if you don't become Hokage, who can?"
"That's right. In terms of aptitude and ability, you are the most suitable as one of the Three Legendary Sannin."
"You don't necessarily want to see Danzo become the next Hokage, do you?"
Danzo!
The thought of Danzo becoming Hokage sent shivers down Jiraiya's spine.
If it really turns out like that, Konoha might as well stop calling itself Konoha Ninja Village and change its name to Root Village.
In that case, I'm afraid all ninjas will become like the Root ninjas, devoid of any thought.
"Okay, I understand."
Suddenly, Jiraiya had a brilliant idea and clapped his hands and shouted.
"Besides me, I know someone who is more suitable to become the next Hokage than me in terms of strength, qualifications, and even status."
Xiaochun frowned as she turned to her new room.
"Could it be that you're referring to the other one of the Legendary Sannin, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade?"
Jiraiya nodded.
"That's right, it's Tsunade. She's more suited to be Hokage than I am."
"But she's not in Konoha right now."
"It's okay, I will find her."
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance. Indeed, bringing Tsunade back to be Hokage might be more suitable than bringing Jiraiya back.
But at the same time, they were also worried that Jiraiya was making excuses to run away.
“Sure, but in order to find Tsunade more quickly, we can send three top-tier ANBU ninjas with you.”
Jiraiya waved his hand, walked to the window, and opened it.
"No need, don't worry, I won't run away. But I have one request: I have to take Naruto with me."
In Konoha, Tetsuya and Tobirama, whose appearances had been slightly altered, walked the streets of Konoha.
Although the attack by Sunagakure caused considerable damage to Konoha, it had little impact on the main city and commercial district.
"How is it? It's been a long time since I've come back for a visit. Is Konoha still the same as the Konoha you remember?"
Tetsuya asked Tobirama with a grin, a tricolor dumpling he bought from a roadside stall still dangling from his mouth.
"Want a skewer?"
As he spoke, he casually handed a string of three-colored dumplings to Tobirama.
Tobirama didn't stand on ceremony, even though he had stopped eating sweets many years ago.
"The Konoha of today is very different from the Konoha of the past."
"Right, right? Of course, the changes are huge. After all, I invested in building this commercial street, so the overall style is naturally based on my ideas, hahaha."
Tetsuya laughed as he spoke, then pointed outside the street.
"Of course, if you want to see the old Konoha, turn left after leaving this street, and that's the original Konoha street."
"Hey, can you please not say such jarring things when I'm feeling sentimental?"
"Oh dear, how did my words spoil the mood? I was just telling you the facts."
"You bastard."
Tobirama glanced at Tetsuya, then, not wanting to say anything more, took a bite of the tricolor dumpling.
It's soft and chewy at first bite, followed by a sweet taste—it's incredibly sweet.
"Tsk, it's too sweet. How could you like this kind of thing? This is a sweet treat that only children like."
"What do you know? Living in this world is already hard enough. How can you not eat more sweets to neutralize the bitterness of life?"
As Tetsuya spoke, he casually tossed the skewer he had finished eating, and the flying skewer hit the distant trash can with perfect accuracy, like a thousand sticks.
"Speaking of which, how about we go to the Sarutobi clan? To pay our respects to your good disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Tobirama thought for a moment, but ultimately rejected the suggestion.
“No, it just doesn’t feel right for a young master to go and mourn his elderly disciple.”
It should be noted that ever since Tobirama was resurrected by Tetsuya, his physical condition has been frozen at his peak.
He was in his prime, while the deceased Hiruzen Sarutobi was already very old, which made him feel somewhat awkward.
"Alright then, we can go see him after he's buried. Maybe we can even get some offerings then."
"You don't have to go this far, he's already dead."
"Hey, so what if you died? You've died once before, haven't you?"
For a moment, Tobirama didn't know what to say.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go, pick a place with good feng shui, and call Izuna over. We need to prepare to welcome the next resurrected person."
"The next resurrected one."
Upon hearing this, Tobirama immediately became serious.
"Are you planning to revive Uchiha Madara? Or are you planning to revive him in Konoha?"
"Hmm? Is there a problem? It doesn't matter where you revive, it's still resurrection. Besides, with me here, are you really worried that the resurrected Uchiha Madara will destroy Konoha?"
Tobirama felt a little relieved upon hearing this; it was indeed true.
"After reviving Madara Uchiha, will my older brother be the next person to be revived?"
"I'm not too sure about that. I can only say there's a chance. After all, I can only know who the next person to be resurrected will be after the current person is resurrected."
Tetsuya patted Tobirama on the shoulder to comfort him.
"But don't worry too much. Judging from the current situation, those who can be resurrected by me first are all people with some strength."
"Look, first they resurrected Izuna, then you, and next is Uchiha Madara. So, correspondingly, I think there's a high chance that your older brother, Senju Hashirama, will be resurrected after Uchiha Madara."
Tobirama thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense, and was quite likely.
One Uchiha corresponds to one Senju, and Izuna killed himself, while Madara was killed by his older brother.
Since Izuna was resurrected, it is indeed very likely that my older brother was resurrected after Madara Uchiha.
Even Tetsuya didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew that Tobirama was thinking this way, he would probably say, "Just think about it."
Who will be resurrected depends entirely on the dog's mood.
Furthermore, Madara Uchiha wasn't killed by your older brother; he died of natural causes.
