This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill-Chapter 466: The Ability to See Things for What They Are!
Chapter 466: The Ability to See Things for What They Are!
After a few days, the wind that was deliberately released had become more and more intense, and it seemed that the direction of the wind was also developing in a good direction.
However, Aoba, who was in the midst of the storm, began to live in seclusion, never showing his face easily.
No one knew more about this principle than him.
All the previous arrangements had been made at this moment, and even if he did not show his face, there would be people who would cheer for him, so at this time, the most important thing was to keep a low profile!
If he did more wrong, he wouldn't be wrong.
At this critical juncture, he had already done what he could do. So as long as he didn't make any mistakes, there was a 50 chance of winning this war without smoke.
It wasn't that he was being modest, but that he really regarded Jiraya as a formidable opponent.
As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat has three pounds of nails.
He was not at the level where he looked down on Jiraya.
What's more, his biggest advantage wasn't what he showed, but Jiraya!
Jiraya who had no interest in the Hokage position was his biggest advantage!
In a political game, the biggest way to win was not to be strong, but to directly deal with his competitor.
Otherwise, there was always an 'what if', how could there be a hundred percent?
However, before he could go to find Jiraya, Jiraya came to him first.
...
After serving the tea and water, a certain someone sent her away with a glance.
"Hmph!"
The little loli had probably gotten familiar with him recently and figured out his personality. As a result, the previously timid side had gradually disappeared. Even her courage had grown. She even dared to give him a 'look'.
He really hadn't gone to bed for three days!
Aoba gestured for Jiraya to drink his tea as he pondered how to teach this disobedient little loli a lesson.
He still remembered that when he was a child, if he was disobedient, he would be stripped of his pants and beaten up.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the two of them looked at each other in silence.
In the end, Jiraya couldn't help but say, "In fact, I have no interest in the position of Hokage. On the contrary, you make me very interested."
If it was anyone else, Aoba would definitely spit on the other party, but if it was Jiraya, he would believe it!
However, before he knew the purpose of Jiraya coming here, he still cautiously laughed and said, "When Jiraya-san was famous in the world, I don't think I born yet, so although I don't know which aspect of me Jiraya-san is interested in, I can go out and brag about it."
"Haha, Aoba really knows how to joke. You are going to be a Hokage, why brag about this?"
"From Jiraya-san's words, it seems like he wants to fulfill my wish?"
Jiraya didn't hesitate and nodded, "Originally, I came back to mourn for Sarutobi0sensei, and then I was ready to go after Orochimaru. However, the two elders kept persuading me to stay. I didn't mean to be the Hokage."
"But because I stayed, I could witness the rise of a young talent."
"When I was traveling, I heard your name many times. I once thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but after I came back, everyone who mentioned you in front of me was full of praise for you. So, I took advantage of these few days to investigate your deeds and found that you were indeed as the rumors said."
"What is the rumor like?" Aoba poured him a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"His talent is extraordinary and he works hard to improve. Although he is reckless, he is still a sentimental teenager."
"Is Jiraya-sam praising me? I didn't know I had so many good points." Aoba said with a smile.
"Praise? I guess so. But I also found a lot of unusual things. Can you help me solve them?"
Aoba directly made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time, he was secretly vigilant. He didn't know what Jiraya found.
"Does Danzo's disappearance have anything to do with you?"
"Danzo-san? How could Danzo-san's disappearance have anything to do with me? Jiraya-san can't throw dirty water on me just because you and I are competitors."
Jiraya kept looking at Aoba's expression. Although he didn't find any flaws, his intuition told him that Danzo's disappearance was likely to have something to do with it.
"But as far as I know, Danzo seems to have been targeting you time and time again. He even sent people to kill the entire Team 3, but in the end, he didn't succeed. With your personality, have you never thought about revenge?"
With Jiraya's status, it wasn't difficult for him to know about these things, not to mention that there were two old helpers who had been helping to find Aoba's other 'weak points' behind his back.
But Aoba was not worried about this at all, because Danzo's death really had nothing to do with him.
The one who attacked was Akatsuki, what did it have to do with him?
So he couldn't help but show a trace of anger, "Since Jiraya-san mentioned this matter, then I won't hide it anymore. I did think about it, but how could Danzo have a high position and high authority, plus Hiruzen has always been partial to him, so in the end, I could only helplessly choose to keep the peace."
"Moreover, I was in the village when Danzo went missing. It was only when I went to ask for an explanation that I found out that Danzo had left Konoha. Even if I really wanted to do something, I had to know where he went. Moreover, I wasn't even a Jonin at that time. A few members of Anbu almost killed me, so Jiraya-san overestimated me."
"Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Jiraya nodded. This was what he couldn't figure out after he realized that something was wrong, unless there was another powerful force interfering.
This was even more impossible.
Maybe it was really a coincidence. After all, Danzo had so many enemies.
Jiraya didn't want to let go of this matter and instead asked something else, "Itachi should be the one behind you since he had become the head of the Uchiha Clan, right?"
This time, Aoba was really shocked. How long had this guy been back? How could he see his figure in such a long time?
This ability to see the essence of things or intuition was really a bit scary.
However, he definitely would not admit to this.
So he shook his head, "Itachi just asked me to do a small favor. How can I talk about strategy?"
However, Jiraya took a deep look at him, because he was very suspicious of the two high-level consultants, Fugaku and Hiashi. It was this guy who used the power of Uchiha to push up the 'background!'!
All of his preparations were to become the Hokage, and this was his real plan.
Although Jiraya didn't believe that a young man, who was so reckless as to cause trouble everywhere, would be so cunning and had set up such a big picture many years ago.
However, the surprise brought to him by the meeting that day, and the more he learned about it afterwards, the more he thought about it. The possibility of this analysis made it hard for him to believe that the other party was harmless!
Then what was the truth?
Gradually, a sense of uneasiness surrounded his heart and lingered, but he couldn't help but think.
That was why he took the initiative to come over and find out.
If he finally proved that he was thinking too much, then why not quit?
But if there was really a problem with the other party, then he must figure it out.
