"Who said it wasn't?"

Kushina listened and nodded speechlessly: "From what I saw, he was beaten half to death by Sister Tsunade four or five times!"

"Every time he had to lie in the ninja hospital for half a month or even a month!"

"Unfortunately, this guy just won't change his bad habits, even Master Hand can't do anything about it sometimes!"

"After that, unless Master Tsunade saw it with her own eyes, or Jiraiya said it in front of her, she can only turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye!"

"Of course, she warned Sister Mikoto and me not to go to the hot spring house in the village, so as not to be taken advantage of."

Even, Kushina estimated that all the girls that Tsunade knew and had a good relationship with should have been reminded by her.

As for more people, she couldn't control them.

You can't just kill Jiraiya, right?

"DB..."

Minato's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he was speechless: "That's true... Forget it, I was a little hesitant before whether to become his disciple;"

"After all, he is so sincere and he is the disciple of the Hokage. I don't think it would be a good idea to reject him directly!"

"Now it seems that it is better to reject him decisively!"

He doesn't want to be associated with such a Jiraiya.

No matter how strong he is, it won't work.

What if people think that he is also a pervert who likes to peek, then he will be socially dead and lose his right to choose a spouse?

That would be too miserable.

He absolutely doesn't want it.

Although he has already given up on Kushina and his heart is not "five-three-seven" on Kushina.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't want a wife in the future!

He can find another one in the future.

At present, there are many targets that he thinks are good among the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans he has contacted.

He thinks he can choose one to develop in the future.

As for someone as fickle as Ham?

He was a little afraid.

The main reason was that the girls of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans seemed to be quite tough.

"You are right to think so!"

"Otherwise, if you learn bad things from that guy, be careful that we will break up with you! Humph!"

Kushina waved his fist and threatened.

"Hehe!"

Minato listened and smiled bitterly: "I will go to him later and explain the situation!"

Ham and the others nodded.

Ham was naturally happy to see Minato refuse to become Jiraiya's apprentice.

Speaking of which, he thought about winning over Orochimaru to make a contract, but he was always hesitating whether to make a contract with him as a doctor.

For now, let's just wait and see!

It's not because this guy likes to peek.

It's simply because this guy has been seriously brainwashed by the Third hokage and Gamamaru. If things go wrong in the future, he may stand on the opposite side of him.

Everything depends on Jiraiya's future choice!

He will definitely be driven out of the Third hokage.

Soon, Minato separated from Ham and the others, and spent some time to find Jiraiya and explain his purpose.

"Huh?"

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard that Minato actually refused to be his master.

He didn't expect this at all.

He thought this matter was a sure thing.

After all, he is Jiraiya! A disciple of the Third hokage, a Toad Sage, and very powerful.

Although Minato is very talented, he is just a civilian ninja.

At most, he is close to Uchiha Ham and seems to often practice with Uchiha Ham and the others.

"Can I ask why?"

Jiraiya asked with some loss and confusion.

He thought someone was behind this?

"DB..."

Minato was a little helpless and hesitant when he heard this: "First, I have received support from Ham and jiri, and I have no shortage of ninjutsu and guidance!"

"Second, Kushina and Tsunade don't agree with me doing this."

Well! Although it's not good to use Tsunade and Kushina as an excuse.

But he had asked Kushina before, and even asked Tsunade without using the communication space.

Both of them agreed.

He naturally had no psychological pressure.

"Huh? Kushina and Tsunade?"

Jiraiya was furious when he heard this, and said angrily with a red face: "No, why do they do this? It's too much! I'm going to talk to them!"

"Especially Tsunade, she's not afraid that I'll take in a genius disciple and surpass her disciple, right?"

"DB..."

Minato was ashamed when he heard this.

Comparing him with Ham?

Isn't this nonsense?

He can achieve what he has today thanks to Ham.

Besides, how could he not know how evil Ham is?

With Ham's current strength, it is estimated that the Third hokage may not be Ham's opponent. Comparing him with Ham is really too flattering.

"I am definitely not comparable to Ham!"

Minato immediately shook his head and said: "In addition, I don't recommend you to find Master Tsunade!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I will beat you!"

"They are afraid that I will be led astray by you, so they don't let me become your apprentice. Please understand!"

"At the same time, thank you for your favor!"

"Although I can't become your disciple, I believe you can definitely find a better disciple than me!"

Well! If nothing unexpected happens, after the next Rain Country War, Jiraiya will accept Yahiko, Nagato and Konan as his disciples.

Minato still knows this.

And, in the original future, he was actually accepted as a disciple by Jiraiya at this stage.

But then Jiraiya went to join the war, and didn't have much time or opportunity to teach him.

It was more than a year later when the war ended.

What's more, after that, Jiraiya went to take care of Yahiko and the other two.

Moreover, this area is three years.

He was left without a master for more than four years.

Fortunately, he was naturally gifted, otherwise, if he missed these important growth periods, his strength and potential might be greatly affected.

Therefore, in Minato's view, although Jiraiya is a good teacher in general, he is also a willful and irresponsible b*****d sometimes.

In the original future, Jiraiya's greatest help to him was probably to help him exchange for the qualification to learn Flying Thunder God Technique.

But now, he has learned Flying Thunder God Technique from Ham.

This does not require Jiraiya's help to exchange.

Although, he has not learned it yet.

Currently, he is still learning the sealing technique.

"Ah...you..."

Jiraiya now understood why Tsunade and the others stopped him.

At the same time, he also saw Minato's firm determination.

Suddenly, he sighed, and with regret in his heart, he patted Minato's shoulder and said: "Forget it! Since you have made a choice, let's forget about it!"

"I can only say that I am not destined to be with you!"

"However, even if you don't worship me as your master, you must practice hard and don't waste your talent

"You must become an independent ninja in the future and protect Konoha well!"

"If you have any questions about practice, you are always welcome to come to me!"

"I will try my best to help you solve them!"

It hurts!

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing to say.

He knows very well that he can't do this after Tsunade intervenes.

As for trouble with Tsunade or even Kushina?

Forget it.

He is worried that he will be beaten by Tsunade or even Mito-sama!

These two are people he can't afford to offend!

"Damn it! It's all because of peeping! It's all because of the teacher who led me astray!"

Jiraiya cursed in his heart and flashed away.

"Thank you very much Master Jiraiya!!"

Minato saw him leave and bowed to thank him.

After Jiraiya walked away, he turned around and left.

"Ha! Ha... Um... Who is scolding me?"

At this time, in the Hokage's office, the Third hokage suddenly yawned several times in a row, wiped his nose with a puzzled look, and muttered.

"Hiruzen, don't change the subject!"

Danzo saw it and immediately said angrily: "I have no objection to letting senior students take the graduation examination in advance, but why didn't you discuss this with us?"

"It's not the time to let children go to the battlefield now...

"You should be more cautious about this kind of thing, at least discuss it with us.

"Indeed!"

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura listened and nodded in agreement.

The Third hokage looked at Danzo speechlessly and said: " Danzo, don't think I don't know what you're up to:"

"Do you really care about some kids taking graduation exams early?"

"I'm afraid not?"

Who doesn't know who?

As long as Danzo sticks his butt out, he knows what he's going to say.

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face. He argued: "Now that things have come to this, I don't care about anything else. I need to select a group of people to join the Root;

"The Root is still too weak now, and the tasks it needs to bear are heavy. It won't go without adding fresh blood."

"I think those Uzumaki clan, Uchiha clan, and even a few Senju descendants in the school are good;"

"Give these people to me!"

He felt that since it was not easy to intervene directly in Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki, it would always be okay to start with the children.

He believed in his brainwashing skills.

As long as these people fell into his hands, he would have a way to brainwash them into his own soldiers.

In the future, these people can be used to deal with Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki.

He even wanted to get another group of people from other ninja clans to join the Root.

In the future, he could rely on these people to secretly control these ninja clans, gain their support, and eventually become Hokage.

Don't think he really didn't prepare at all!

Of course, he knew that he needed enough support to become Hokage.

But in his opinion, civilian ninjas and those villagers were best fooled and guided, and it didn't matter whether they had their support or not.

With his means of guiding public opinion, he could naturally guide these people to become his supporters when he needed it.

He only needed to deal with most of the Chūnin clans in Konoha to become Hokage.

"Huh? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

However, the Third hokage looked at Danzo with wide eyes after hearing what Danzo said.

Not only the Third hokage, but even Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura on the side looked at Danzo with the eyes of a madman.

The Third hokage's face turned pale and they said angrily: "Do you think too highly of me, the Hokage?"

"Do you really think I can do whatever I want and do this for Mito-sama, Uchiha and Uzumaki?"

"Do you believe that as long as the news that I want to do this gets out, the three tribes will dare to overthrow the rule of me, the Hokage, in a minute? Change a Hokage?"

"Don't you see that they have enough power to overthrow me, the Hokage, at any time?"

"If they hadn't considered public opinion and the stability of the village, they might have done it long ago!"

"Do you really think it's 4 years ago now?"

Over the years, although Danzo secretly forced some geniuses from some ninja clans to join the root, the Third hokage's favorability in the hearts of these ninja clans has dropped significantly and they have been alienated a lot.

But he and the Sarutobi clan still have many supporters.

Among them, they are mainly small and medium-sized ninja clans and civilian ninjas.

After all, it is not more than a decade later, not the time period after the death of the Fourth Generation, and they have not seen the era of offending many ninja clans, big and small, and even most civilian ninjas.

During the First World War, the Third hokage Wanli's victory over the enemy has not diminished much.

The main reason is that their means of plundering the village's resources and suppressing many ninja clans are not yet clear, and they have deceived many people.

Not every ninja clan has felt the pain like the Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki, and knows their true colors clearly.

Not every ninja clan is as smart as the Nara clan.

"They dare?"

Danzo heard this and immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

Is this outrageous?

"Why don't they dare?"

The Third hokage heard this and immediately sneered: "You are openly trying to seize their new generation to brainwash and train them. Tell me, what don't they dare to do?"

"Even a Hokage like me dares to ignore the overall situation. Why do you think they have to consider the overall situation?"

"Because you are thick-skinned?"

"KR..."

Danzo was so angry when he heard the Third hokage's sarcastic words that he wanted to punch the Third hokage in the face.

I am thick-skinned?

No matter how thick-skinned I am, can I be as thick-skinned as you, Sarutobi Hiruzen?

You blame me for all the dirty and messy things, but you always pretend to be a pure and flawless white lotus. In terms of shamelessness, who can be thicker than you?

Danzo suppressed his anger and took a few deep breaths to suppress some of the anger in his heart [He said to the main master, "Is this not negotiable? I only need ten parts, right?"

"The root needs fresh blood!"

Third hokage shook his head with a straight face and said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"

"You are not allowed to take advantage of the children graduating from this school!"

"Also, don't go to those ninja clans to forcibly recruit talented children in the near future!"

"They have come to me! They complained to me about how overbearing and unreasonable you are!"

"Obviously, these ninja clans have a lot of opinions about you!"

"Even I am affected by it!"

"You have to make us alienated, alienated from everyone, and driven out of office to be happy?"

"Before doing anything, can you consider my feelings as a Hokage first?"

He didn't think that Danzo Sign 08 geniuses of various clans were wrong.

This itself was also tacitly approved by him in the past, and it was also a means to weaken various But can't you do it more nicely and take the blame more, so as not to let these ninjas vent their anger on me and affect my prestige?

"R..."

Danzo couldn't hold back his anger when he heard the Third hokage's words, and roared at the Third hokage: "Is this still my fault? Who do you think I'm doing this for?"

"Didn't you acquiesce to all this?"

"They come to complain, so you won't fight back?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Don't forget, Hiruzen! You are the Hokage!"

Eft:"....."

"KR...."

This is my line, right?

Danzo, you b*****d, you're going too far, you're stealing my line, how can I continue?

Are you going to regret it, Danzo?

This doesn't make sense!

" Hokage can't act arbitrarily!"

"Anyway, I can't give you the students who graduated this time, and you shouldn't go to those ninja clans to beg for money recently!"

"For the root expansion, you should think of another way! You can select from the orphanage!"

"Or, take advantage of the war to find a way to select, I know you have a way!"

The Third hokage could only scold with a stern face.

Do you really think that he, the Hokage, can do whatever he wants?

Uchiha, Uzumaki, Uzumaki Mito, these mountains are pressing down!

"Heh!"

Danzo laughed angrily after hearing this.

So, you can't give me any support, and I have to figure out everything myself?

But, all the dirty work still has to be done by me;

You really think it's beautiful!

" Hiruzen! You will regret it!"

Danzo took a deep look at the Third hokage, left this sentence, and walked out of the Hokage office angrily, and soon left the Hokage building.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

When he left the office, Danzo heard the familiar words of the Third hokage from behind.

He could no longer suppress his anger, and roared in his heart: "You are the Hokage, you are the Hokage, I have heard this sentence enough! I am tired of it! Can you stop saying it?"

"I obviously have already intercepted your words in advance, but I just don't want to hear this sentence, why do you still use this sentence to stimulate me?"

Danzo's neck and forehead were blue veins at this time, and his anger almost burned out his last sanity.

Afraid that he could not help but turn around and fight with the Third hokage, he could only speed up and leave.

When Danzo left the Hokage building and went far away.

Mitokado Homura looked at the Third hokage helplessly and sighed: "Hey! Hiruzen! You shouldn't have provoked Danzo so much just now. You know he has always been worried about the position of Hokage;"

"This is what he doesn't want to hear the most!"

"Aren't you afraid that he will lose his mind if you provoke him? I will fight you to death?

Sometimes he feels that Sarutobi and Danzo are like a pair of enemies.

Like to love and kill each other.

It's a headache to watch.

"Indeed!"

Utatane Koharu also nodded: "Just now I could clearly feel the anger in Danzo's heart that was about to go out of control. This time you really provoked him!"

"Hey!"

After hearing this, the Third hokage slowly took out his pipe, stuffed it with tobacco, lit it, and took a few puffs with a sad face: "Why would I want to do this?"

"He thinks I don't want to weaken Uchiha, Uzumaki and even Senju?"

"I can't!"

"Now the three tribes have formed an alliance openly, and their strength is growing day by day;"

"If we really want to do what Danzo said, I'm afraid they will suppress us before we even go out to fight!"

"With their growing power in recent years, they are just lacking a suitable reason to attack us!"

"The more it is now, the more we cannot act recklessly!"

"Just be patient and wait for us to win on the battlefield this time, and at the same time, kill a group of elites from the three clans;"

"At that time, public opinion and initiative will be back in our hands!"

"At that time, with the general trend, we can suppress the three clans again and further weaken their power and influence!"

"In the end, we will completely control the power of Konoha in our hands!"

"Even, not only the battlefield of the Rain Country, even if other ninja villages are not ready to go to war with us in the future, I am ready to deliberately guide them to go to war with us:"

"At that time, we can find another opportunity to signal a wave of elites from the three clans to be sent to the battlefield;"

"Repeat the previous operation and consume all the elites of the three clans in one fell swoop!"

"At the same time, defeat the four major ninja villages:"

"At that time, we will not be as passive as we are now!"

" Danzo doesn't understand these things, he is just too impulsive and can't stand the slightest bit of frustration! This won't work!

So! Danzo's personality is not suitable for being a Hokage at all.

He thought that the Hokage was supreme and had the final say.

In fact, in the eyes of the Third hokage, the Hokage was just a punching bag and a mediator.

It is necessary to constantly adjust and balance the conflicts and disputes among all parties in the village.

At the same time, it is also necessary to bear a lot of resentment.

"Can this plan really succeed? Uchiha Chiri and Lord Mito are not fools!"

"Don't make things worse!"

"It's better to continue to endure this, not to conflict with them, and give them a little;"

"As long as we don't make mistakes, they can't pull us down for no reason, right?"

Utatane Koharu persuaded without frowning.

She still felt that the Third hokage and Danzo's plan was too beautiful!

If they do this, if they are not careful, they will be doomed.

It's too risky.

"Hehe, do you think we want to?"

After hearing this, the Third hokage smiled bitterly and said, "That's because I've been forced into a corner and have no choice!"

"Since the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha tribes joined forces, the strength of the three tribes has begun to expand abnormally;"

"Obviously, they all benefited from the Uchiha!"

"In terms of development, we are completely no match for the three tribes;"

"Based on the dirty conflicts we had with the three tribes in the past, a life-and-death conflict is a matter of time:"

"We have no choice at all!"

"This war is our only chance to turn the tables!"

"I guess the three tribes also regard this war as an opportunity!"

"It all depends on who succeeds in the end!"

"Whoever wins this game will become the final winner and completely control Konoha!"

The winner takes all, and the loser is out.

"DEUF!"

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura finally reacted after hearing this, and they all took a breath of cold air, saying in disbelief: "Have things come to this? I thought..."

"Do you think we still have a choice?"

The Third hokage shook their heads helplessly after hearing this: "We have no choice for a long time! Since the three tribes formed an alliance and their strength increased abnormally, we have no choice!"

"It's a pity that we can't get the secret of Uchiha's drugs, otherwise, we can also take more initiative!"

"I can only say that we are unlucky!"

"It's not that I want to provoke Danzo just now, but because we can't provoke the three tribes or even other ninja tribes now;"

"Otherwise, they may directly join forces, turn the table in advance, and drive us out of office in advance;"

"If 107 is like that, we won't even have a chance to fight for the last time!"

"The reason why Danzo didn't really explode when I was so angry is actually because he knows this in his heart!"

As for Danzo's previous proposal?

It's just an impulsive and radical approach.

At the same time, it was just a test that Danzo wanted to conduct on the three Uchiha clans.

He thought that with hostages in hand, what if the test was successful?

Unfortunately, the Third hokage could not agree to such a radical and adventurous approach.

This was not in line with his style.

He might die if he tried.

"I see!"

Utatane Koharu frowned and said solemnly: "It seems that there is no way out! So let's do it!"

"I will go to allocate supplies first! You continue to be busy!"

"Me too!"

Mitokado Homura also said something, and then left the Hokage office and the Hokage building with Utatane Koharu.

He was not really in a hurry to deal with the supplies, but found a secret low place to sit down and set up a soundproof barrier.

Utatane Koharu said to Mitokado Homura with a serious face: "Yan, what do you think about this matter? Should we participate deeply?"

"Hmm?"

Mitokado Homura raised his eyebrows and looked at Utatane Koharu in surprise, and asked tentatively: "You want to..."

"No need to test!"

Utatane Koharu saw it and couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "I just think Hiruzen and Danzo's plan is too radical and too risky!"

"If we get deeply involved, if something goes wrong, we and the family behind us may be doomed!"

"This is not what I want to see, and it should not be what you want to see, right?"

After all, they have relied on their status as Second Generation disciples, Third hokage and Danzo to have their current status over the years, and the family behind them has gradually prospered.

But they are still very weak.

They don't dare to gamble so much.

Of course, it is also because they feel that although they have participated in the suppression of Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki before, they have only tried it superficially and have not gone too deep.

Strictly speaking, we are not mortal enemies with the three clans. There is no need to bet against the three clans like Third hokage and Danzo, dragging the family and everything else.

93

"Indeed!"

Mitokado Homura also understood Utatane Koharu's idea, nodded in agreement, and sighed: "Alas! I didn't expect that after a few years, things would suddenly become like this!"

"Things are unpredictable!"

"We are more Hiruzen and Danzo are indeed different, we can't afford to gamble, and there is no need to gamble like this!"

"So, next, we should follow our own pace, at most play a supporting role, and don't get too much contact and participate in their plans!"

"I will remind the family members who will participate in the war on this point;"

"Put your life first, don't worry about other things!"

"What do you think?"

Anyway, with their relationship, even if they do this, the Third hokage will win in the end.

They will definitely get the benefits.

The Third hokage still needs the support and help of the two of them.

They are senior brothers and sisters.

Diehards. But if the Third hokage fails, as long as they insist that they were not involved and cut ties with the Third hokage in time, at least they will not die and their clan will be exterminated, right?

At most, they will lose some power and interests, and just keep their heads down.

It is better than death and the extinction of the clan.

Who would want to die if they can live?

As for whether it is too unfair to the Third hokage and Danzo to do so?

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura do not think so.

They believe from the bottom of their hearts that they have not gained as much as the Third hokage Danzo, so naturally, the risks and responsibilities they bear should also be reduced.

Otherwise, it would be unfair!

Soon, the two reached a secret agreement.

The next morning.

The training ground of the Ninja School.

At this time, the stands around the training ground were full of people.

They all came to watch the early graduation assessment of Ham and others today.

Uzumaki Mito, Uchiha Chiri, Uzumaki Aki, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Hyuga Soun... and many other ninja clan representatives and Jōnin came.

Danzo and the Third hokage were no exception.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Third hokage immediately stood on the podium, looked around, and said: "Today is the day for Uchiha Ham and others to take the early graduation test. I didn't expect so many people to come!"

"But it's okay, it's just right for us to see the real Xi of our new generation!"

"Ham, as long as you can hold on to your opponents for ten minutes, you will pass the test!"

"Now I declare that the test officially begins!"

The next moment, an elite Genin appeared on the middle ring.

"I'll go first!"

Ham nodded slightly to Kushina and the others, and directly used the Body Flicker Technique to "brush!" across more than ten meters and appeared on the ring.

"DE?"

This move made many people in the stands shrink their pupils: "What a fast speed!"

"Indeed, this speed is comparable to Jōnin, right? This kid seems to be very powerful!"

"I remember he is the son of Lord Uchiha Jiri?"

"That's right! Lord Jiri gave birth to a genius son!"

For a while, everyone talked about it.

But none of this affected Ham.

The Genin opposite him saw Ham's move, and his heart tightened.

He thought: "Damn! This kid is really powerful! If his strength is not as fast as his speed, he will be embarrassed this time!" "Damn it, I would not have accepted this task if I had known!" "I thought it was a chance to show myself, but..." "Start!"

At this time, the referee gave the order. "Swish!"

The next moment, Ham appeared in front of the Genin.

The Genin only heard Ham's faint voice: "What are you daydreaming about?" "Zitt!"

The next moment, the Genin felt a pain in his abdomen.

The whole person seemed to be hit by a high-speed carriage, his back arched, his eyes bulged, his mouth opened, and bitter water gushed out.

The sight began to retreat. "Bang!"

He flew out of the ring and hit the ground more than ten meters away.

A shallow gully was knocked out of the ground, Genin fainted completely.

In the last second before he fainted, he was still thinking: "What the hell?"

The referee on the side finally reacted and quickly came to the side of Genin, leaning over to check his condition.

As a result, he unexpectedly found that Genin was not seriously injured, at most it was a minor injury.

He fainted mainly because of the impact.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at Ham deeply, and announced: "Winner! Uchiha Ham!"

"The next examiner is Chen Libo Mikoto! Please come on stage!"

"Wow!!!!"

At this time, the people in the stands reacted from the previous shock and suddenly there was an uproar:

"This... is too powerful, right? He didn't use Chakra just now? He can actually maintain such a fast speed, and he instantly killed an elite Genin with one punch. This strength is a bit scary!"

"I feel better than me!"

"As expected, he is the son of Lord Uchiha jiri! This strength is at least Chūnin level, right?"

"Too low! With this body instant speed, his experience is probably comparable to Jōnin!"

"Jōnin? Isn't that a bit exaggerated? This Uchiha Ham looks only about eleven or twelve years old?"

"More than that? He is over 1.7 meters tall, so he should be fourteen or fifteen years old?"

"Stop kidding! It's said that this is an early graduation assessment, so his age can't be over 12 years old, probably around 18 years old!"

"Indeed! The height should be related to the nutritional pills, right? I've heard that taking nutritional pills for a long time can increase height!"

"That's true. I've grown five or six centimeters in the past few years. You know, I've long passed puberty and I'm already 28!"

"Is it true? Nutritional pills can also have this heaven-defying effect? How come I didn't know about it?"

"It's true! Many people have confirmed this!"

"Indeed! The most obvious example is a Genin named Might Dai. I heard that he got Uchiha's appreciation and cultivation, he can eat any nutritional pills every day, because he is only good at physical skills, and now his height has exceeded 2 meters. "

"Damn! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go buy some nutritional pills later. I've decided that I must eat more in the future and grow taller!"

"Haha! Tanaka, you really need to grow taller. 1.45 meters is too short. It's hard to find a wife!"

"a**hole! You are only 1.45 meters! I'm obviously 1.5 meters!"

"Who would believe it? My Dabao is 1.45 meters at the age of 11, and he looks about the same height as you! Don't deceive yourself!"

"a**hole! I'll fight you!"

As expected, many people were talking about it, and they all went off topic, and their attention was focused on Ham's age and height.

There is no way, Ham is really too tall.

If it weren't for his tender face and height, people would believe that he was seventeen or eighteen years old!

However, Ham didn't care about these. After hearing the referee's verdict, he smiled and waved in the direction of his mother and others in the stands, and then turned and walked off the stage.

"Mikoto sister! Come on!"

"Yeah!"

Then, Uchiha Mikoto and her opponent, who was also an elite Genin, also came on stage one after another.

"I'm afraid your apprentice's strength is at least Jōnin level, right?"

In a corner of the stands, Orochimaru saw Ham's every move before, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Almost! Ham is very talented and works hard!"

Tsunade smiled slightly without comment.

Thinking: "Jōnin? Who are you looking down on?"

Ham's real strength is obviously much stronger than her, a senior Kage-level.

Seriously, she can't last more than three rounds under Ham.

Of course, she won't say it out and reveal Ham's secret.

So as not to cause trouble.

On the side Jiraiya saw this and felt sour in his heart.

He looked at Minato over there, then at Tsunade, and said with a face full of resentment: "I could have had an excellent disciple too!"

`]Oh?"

Orochimaru heard this and looked back and forth between Tsunade and Jiraiya, wondering: "What's going on?"

"Heh!"

Tsunade saw this, crossed his arms, and sneered at Jiraiya: "Minato has the support and guidance of Ham and jiri-sama, so he doesn't need to become your disciple:"

"You are just wishful thinking!"

Jiraiya heard this and immediately said unconvinced: "If you hadn't said bad things about me in front of him, how could he refuse?"

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

"Is Minato the little yellow-haired boy next to Ham?"

"He does look very good!"

Orochimaru heard this and immediately felt that he had eaten a big melon, and looked at the powerful Minato and raised his eyebrows.

"Det!"

Tsunade said disdainfully: "Do I need to say bad things about you? Everyone in Konoha doesn't know that you are a pervert who likes to peep?"

"Minato is a good kid with a promising future. How can you let him follow you?"

"By then, will he still have a good reputation?"

"Will he still find a wife in the future?"

"Jiraiya, you'd better stop bullying me! Do some good deeds! Humph!"

Besides, Minato has grown up well and has everything he needs. Why does he want to become your disciple, Jiraiya?

What's the point?

Is it because you like to peep?

"R..."

Jiraiya was immediately speechless.

Some nearby ninjas had already been listening to the gossip here without making a sound.

I just felt it was funny.

At the same time, I felt that Jiraiya deserved it.

Who wouldn't hate this guy if they knew his character?

After all, no one can guarantee that their wife, daughter, mother or even lover won't go to Onsen (Nono's) Spring House, right?

If this is seen, wouldn't it be a big loss?

It must be that Jiraiya is a disciple of the Third hokage, otherwise, he would have been beaten to death.

It's too immoral.

The Third hokage not far away was speechless after hearing this, thinking: "Ah, ah! Jiraiya, you are really hopeless!"

"You can just peek! Why did you let everyone know? I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"But the Namikaze Minato he liked is really good! Unfortunately, he was lured away by Uchiha Ham early!"

"Otherwise, he could be a great help to me in the future!"

The Third hokage's eyesight is not bad. Even if Minato has a seal on his body, sealing most of his vitality, chakra and qi, just from the ones that are revealed, the Third hokage can feel that Minato at least has the experience of Chūnin.

He is only 10 years old!

A top genius!

And he is born a commoner.

The Third hokage is heartbroken.

"I should have noticed it earlier! What a pity!"

"We have to find a way to win him over in the future!"

"If we can, it will be very valuable!"

"We can use his relationship with Uchiha and Uchiha Ham to influence them and get into their inner circle." The Third hokage began to think in his mind.

He planned to talk to Jiraiya later, asking him not to give up easily, to keep working hard, and to try to recruit Minato as his disciple as soon as possible.

94

On the ring,

Mikoto and his opponent stood facing each other and were ready.

"The test begins!"

The referee gave the order.

"Swish!"

The next moment, Mikoto completely copied Ham's previous actions and appeared in front of the opposite Genin in a flash;

Before he could react, he punched him in the abdomen.

He was knocked out of the ring and hit the ground directly, fainting.

Everyone present: "..."

"Wow!!"

The next moment, everyone came back to their senses from the daze, and there was an uproar.

"Is it fake? This Uchiha Mikoto is so powerful?"

" Is Uchiha going to rise? Two such strong geniuses in a row!"

"I am ignorant. Uchiha has risen a long time ago! Haven't you noticed that Uchiha's strength has been increasing rapidly in recent years?"

"I haven't really noticed it. I just feel that Uchiha is easier to get along with than before, and their reputation has improved a lot;"

"That's right! Since Uchiha started to reform the guard team, they have become much more pleasing to the eye!"

"Not only that, I heard that their clan school has a special class for teaching ideology and morality, which has changed their extreme communication. Therefore, in recent years, everyone likes to go out on missions with Uchiha people more and more!"

"I agree. Uchiha, who is not so arrogant and difficult to get along with, is strong, comprehensive, and reliable. He is simply the best teammate;

"It's a pity Not many Uchiha people have gone on missions in recent years.

I heard that it is because their pharmacy and magical shellfish store have made a lot of money, which has been used by their family to provide welfare.

They are not short of money at all, so there is no such great demand for missions!"

"Isn't this good? Both Uchiha's medicine and magical shellfish are of great benefit to our strength improvement, and Uchiha does not come to grab missions, so we have more opportunities. This is a win-win situation!"

"Isn't that what you said? Not helping the village to do missions, from another perspective, isn't it not contributing to the village? Why are you still praising it?"

"Tsk tsk! Why do I feel that you have bad intentions? Who stipulates that you must complete the mission to contribute to the village? Which of Uchiha's medicine and magical shellfish can not improve the overall strength of the village? This is not a contribution, what is a contribution?"

"That's it! That's it!"

Listening to all these discussions, the Third hokage's mood continued to sink, thinking: "I didn't expect that it has only been more than 3 years, Uchiha's reputation in the village has completely reversed and become so good: "

"Even, there are already many supporters?"

"Sure enough, suppressing Uchiha is urgent!"

507 Danzo, who was not far away, heard these words, took a deep look at those who spoke well of Uchiha, and remembered these people in his heart. At the same time, he snorted in his heart:

"Hmph! A bunch of damn guys, actually spoke well of Uchiha? You wait, you will see what will happen to you in the future!"

Thinking of this, he looked at Ham and Mikoto again, and said angrily in his heart: "Damn it is Uchiha, how can it be so easy to produce geniuses?"

"If such a genius appeared in my Shimura clan, how good would it be in my roots?"

"It's all Hiruzen's fault! If he agreed with my idea yesterday, wouldn't these people be under my command?"

"As long as I am given time, I can definitely train and brainwash them into loyal soldiers to Konoha and me, to help me destroy Uchiha, destroy the vortex, Senju, and help me ascend Hokage position."

"What a pity...Since I can't get it, then I'll just quit!"

"Since you want to graduate early and go to the battlefield, that's just what I want!"

"When the time comes, I'll have plenty of ways to trick you to death! Hehe!"

Thinking of this, Danzo felt a little angry.

He thought he wouldn't keep these few troubles.

"The test is over, the winner is Uchiha Mikoto!"

"Next game, Namikaze Minato, please go to the main stage!"

When it was Minato's turn to go on stage, he didn't kill the opponent instantly like Ham and Mikoto did.

Instead, he used physical skills to entangle with the opponent for a while, and then he sent the opponent off the stage with a punch.

It was considered giving face to the opponent.

The moment his opponent was knocked off the stage, he was also very satisfied: "At least, I lasted much longer than the previous two, I'm already very satisfied!"

He was not stupid, and he could see that Minato was letting him go.

"The test is over, the winner is Namikaze Minato!"

Because of the previous example of Ham and Mikoto, Minato's performance after letting the water go did not cause such a big sensation.

But people with good eyesight can see that Minato's real strength is probably not much weaker than Uchiha Ham and Uchiha Mikoto.

For a moment, his heart was full of emotion.

Especially after knowing that Minato was just a ninja from a commoner background, there were more exclamations.

"I didn't expect that such a talented genius could appear among commoners. It's amazing!"

"I heard that he had been funded by Uchiha a long time ago. It's not surprising that he has such strength, right?"

"Stupid! If he is not talented, can Uchiha support him like this? If he is not talented, even if he has resources, can he have such strength at this age?"

"Indeed! Strength cannot be piled up by resources!"

Hearing these people's discussions and watching the performance of Minato, Jiraiya felt heartbroken!

"Tsunade misled me!!!"

Jiraiya shouted in his heart.

The Third hokage was even more moved, and they became more determined: "No, such a genius must be recruited! For my use!"

"After the assessment, let Jiraiya work harder and try to recruit him as a disciple.

Danzo saw Minato and was more excited than the Third hokage: "Such a genius from a commoner background should be used by me! How could he be recruited by Uchiha?"

"Hiruzen, what on earth do you do? He is obviously your person, why was he recruited by Uchiha?"

"No, I have to find a way to get him to the root!"

Since you Sarutobi Hiruzen don't take it seriously, then I Danzo will take it seriously.

"Next, Uzumaki Kushina, please come on stage!"

Next, Kushina also didn't hesitate, and directly sent his opponent off the stage with a punch.

After that, it was Nawaki and his two opponents, Omi Chiba Aota and Uzumaki Reiko.

Third hokage The first generation also showed great strength and talent, easily defeated the examiner and passed the test.

The senior leaders of various clans and Jōnin were amazed.

"I didn't expect that even Senju Nawaki showed such a strong talent? It seems that after the alliance with Uchiha, they did get huge benefits [Senju is going to be heard again?"

"We have to wait and see, but there is indeed this opportunity. Senju Nawaki is the grandson of the First Generation! I am optimistic about his future!"

"I hope he can grow up! Otherwise, it's useless to be a genius!"

"The Uzumaki clan is not bad! But the stronger one is the Uchiha clan. This Uchiha Qingtian has never heard of it before, but he didn't expect it to have such strength! Its strength is at least the elite Genin level, right?"

"Almost, maybe a little stronger, with the strength of Chūnin level! How did Uchiha train?"

"Envy!"

No matter how these people talk, this test ends here.

Third hokage came to the podium again, and first smiled and congratulated Ham: "Congratulations on passing the assessment. From today on, you are an official Konoha Genin!"

"I hope you can continue to work hard, make more contributions to the village, and become the pillars of the village in the future!"

"I am optimistic about your future!"

"I have already made a decision on your arrangements, and I will notify you later!"

"Please follow your teacher to take photos and ascend the throne;"

At this point, Third hokage paused, looked around and then announced: "In view of the outstanding performance of Ham and others, I realized that there may be some geniuses in the school who are also trapped in the school and wasting their time;"

"This is undoubtedly a waste, a waste of their talents;"

"In addition, the current Ninja World War is imminent, and we may face a more severe situation in the future:"

"So, I plan to conduct a unified graduation assessment for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of the school in 5 days;"

"Anyone who can pass the assessment can graduate early;"

"The village will arrange a suitable class teacher for them to take them to experience in advance:"

"Let them grow up before the war breaks out in full, so as to increase their chances of survival in the future;"

"At the same time, better train the next generation of the village!"

"That's all! Dismissed!"

After speaking, Third hokage turned and left.

Leaving everyone with different expressions.

Some were excited, some were happy, and some were worried and opposed.

There are many more.

But since the Third hokage had already made the decision, they could only obey.

Afterwards, Ham and others, led by Tsunade and Orochimaru, went to the Hokage building to take photos and received forehead protectors [officially registered as a registered Konoha Genin.

"Minato, are you really not going to consider becoming my disciple?"

"I really admire you, and you are also very powerful!"

"If you agree, I can teach you fairy arts!"

At this time, Jiraiya found Minato again, looking at Minato eagerly and asked.

Because just now the Third hokage specifically called him over and gave him a good talk.

At the same time, it also expressed the hope that he could find a way to accept Minato as a disciple.

Pull this civilian genius back from Uchiha.

At the same time, also bought a chess piece from Uchiha.

Jiraiya felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he agreed after the Third hokage pleaded repeatedly and said that the current Uchiha and the three clan alliance were too strong and had affected the balance of the village, and he needed Jiraiya's help.

This is how the current scene came about.

"...."

Minato was embarrassed after hearing this.

He wanted to refuse directly, but he was afraid of hurting Jiraiya's feelings and offending Jiraiya.

He could only look to Tsunade for help.

" Jiraiya!"

Tsunade's eyebrows immediately raised, and she shouted angrily: "Why haven't you given up yet? Is this fun?"

" Since Minato has joined my class, he is naturally my disciple!"

"Why do you have to snatch him from me?"

"Do you still take me seriously? Do you believe that I will beat you up?"

Tsunade raised her fist and said: "If you really want to recruit a disciple, then go find one again! Don't come to harass Minato!"

"He has my guidance, that's enough!"

"Besides, isn't it just a fairy technique? Who doesn't have it?"

"I can also take him to the Wet Bone Forest to learn the fairy techniques there, you should keep yours for yourself! Humph!"

She didn't need to guess to know that Jiraiya must have been persuaded by the Third hokage and came here in a group.

Otherwise, with this guy's personality, he would definitely not come to tease her tiger whiskers.

As for the Third hokage's thoughts, she knew even more clearly.

It's nothing more than seeing Minato, a commoner genius, and wanting to win him over and use him.

He might even want to use Minato's good relationship with Ham and others to plot against Uchiha, Senju and Uzumaki.

It's really despicable, no wonder she's so angry.

Jiraiya, as an accomplice, was also deceived by her. "Tsunade, you...but you don't know fairy arts yourself, how can you teach?"

Seeing Tsunade like this, Jiraiya shrank his neck, stepped back a few steps, and stayed away from Tsunade, and argued. "You're talking nonsense!"

Tsunade seemed to have hit a sore spot, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Isn't it possible for Katsuyu to teach me if I don't know it?"

"Did you know it at the beginning? Didn't you ask the toad from Mount Myōboku to teach you?"

"That's it. You've spent so many years to learn half of it. Are you embarrassed to teach others?"

"Get out of here!!"

As he said that, the next moment, Tsunade's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye he rushed in front of Jiraiya.

He punched Jiraiya and sent him flying.

He really flew.

He flew hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!!!"

Jiraiya screamed and quickly disappeared.

"Boom boom!"

After a few breaths, the roar of a building breaking came from a distance.

"Uh! Master Tsunade, Master Jiraiya was not beaten to death by you, was he?"

Minato's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked cautiously.

Because he clearly heard the sound of Jiraiya's sternum breaking and collapsing.

"Don't worry!"

Tsunade heard this and waved her hand nonchalantly, saying, "I know my limits. I'm used to fighting! This punch will at most seriously injure him and he'll have to stay in the hospital for half a month, but he won't die!"

"If he uses the warming potion and nutritional pills sold by Uchiha, he'll recover in a week:"

"This guy is very resistant! Ha!"

As she said this, she glanced back at a window on the second floor of the Hokage building.

She happened to see the Third hokage smoking a cigarette and looking at her with a gloomy face.

"Det!"

Tsunade curled her lips in disdain, and immediately stopped looking at the Third hokage. She waved her hand at Ham and others and said, "Let's go! Today, the Tsunade class is established. I will take you to eat barbecue! My treat!"

"Is it the Akamichi family's barbecue restaurant?"

"Of course!"

"Great! Thank you, Sister Tsunade!"

"Haha! You're welcome! I'll just try this thing!"

As we all know, the barbecue at the Akamichi family barbecue restaurant in Konoha is a must.

The taste is top-notch.

Unfortunately, compared with Sea Kings meat, the nutrition is still too bad.

The taste can only be compared.

It's just right for Ham and others who have been eating Sea Kings meat and beast meat for a long time to change their taste.

As for whether Tsunade has money?

Well! In recent years, in order to practice hard, change the future, and at the same time, not to be surpassed by Ham and others, she has spent most of her time practicing and learning medical knowledge.

The number of times she goes to the casino has decreased a lot.

The key is that when she went to gamble, Ham and the others would secretly follow her and become her opponent or bet the opposite of her.

They would win back most of the money she lost.

This made Tsunade very depressed.

She lost a lot of interest.

But even so, it was impossible for her to quit gambling completely.

She could only play hide-and-seek with Ham and the others.

From time to time, she would find a way to go to the casino without Ham and the others.

If she succeeded, she would gamble, and if she failed, she would cancel.

It was also difficult for Ham and the others.

At this time, in the Hokage's office,

Watching Tsunade leave with his men, the Third hokage looked at Orochimaru standing in the office with a dark face, smoking a cigarette, and said: "It seems that Jiraiya can't be relied on!"

"Tsunade has long been alienated from me, I can only rely on you, Orochimaru!"

"I hope you can take good care of Nawaki, Uchiha Aota and Uzumaki Reiko, and find a way to make them loyal to the village and me, and become people who truly possess the will of fire" "Are there any problems?"

Since Jiraiya can't be relied on, the Third hokage can only turn their attention to Orochimaru and Nawaki.

Strictly speaking, if Nawaki's identity can be brainwashed well, it will be much more useful than Minato.

The key is that from past contacts, Nawaki's personality is more like the First Generation, more naive, and easily fooled and brainwashed.

The Third hokage feels that they still have a chance.

They can use Nawaki Guy to control Senju, and then backstab Uchiha and even Uzumaki.

He is still very confident in his brainwashing ability.
