Chapter 23 23: After the Incident
The Third Hokage was anxious for a meeting of all Konoha jounin, and Wang Dian went home directly, because Wang Dian was not a jounin at all, and Wang Dian, who had been studying ninjutsu, did not take the exam for the jounin qualification.
Wang Dian is too lazy to take the exam. After all, Wang Dian is not short of money, and he is too lazy to do tasks, protect people, and assassinate people. Is it interesting to study ninjutsu?
After returning home, Wang Dian saw that his house had not been damaged in any way. This may be because it was close to the Hyuga clan, so it was protected by the way.
But when Wang Dian opened the door, he found that the house was in a mess, and the bookshelves containing a large number of ninjutsu scrolls were almost empty.
Looking at the messy home, Wang Dian sighed and stood up, forming a seal with his hands: "[Multiple Shadow Clone]."
It took more than an hour to quickly clean up more than a dozen king spots. After counting the losses, six hundred ninjutsu scrolls and three hundred half-finished ninjutsu scrolls were stolen. Wang Dian is a bit strange. You said ninjutsu scrolls, you can steal them. You also want those ninjutsu scrolls that are created just because you have ideas and ideas?
Could it be that I was deceived by the pie I wrote on?
Without thinking much about this issue, Wang Dian left a shadow clone to disguise himself, and then came to Kabuto's secret base in Konoha based on Kabuto's memory.
Wang Dian closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in Orochimaru's knowledge until Jiraiya came to find him the next day. Wang Dian released the clone and then hurried back.
Wang Dian opened the door and walked in: "I'm sorry, Lord Jiraiya."
"I'm preparing to experiment with new ninjutsu outside of Konoha Village."
Jiraiya smiled and said: "I came to you this time because I want you to help me as a reference."
"Someone must be responsible for this matter. The third Hokage is preparing to abdicate. He wants me to become the fifth Hokage."
"But I don't actually want to become Hokage. I still have a lot of things to do, and Konoha's current situation really means that I can't find a candidate."
"Kakashi has been too slack over the years. Not only has his strength not increased, but he feels that he has even regressed."
"Maitkai's personality is not suitable, but Asma's personality is suitable."
Wang Dian said with a smile: "Don't the Sannin of Konoha still have Tsunade-sama?"
"You can invite Tsunade back to be Hokage."
Jiraiya chuckled: "With her character, if I invite her, it's impossible to succeed."
"Hey, it's so annoying."
In the original work, the third Hokage died in battle, and it was the two elders of Konoha who asked Jiraiya to become the fifth Hokage. Jiraiya didn't care about them at all, so he refused directly.
But if the Third Hokage said this, it would be difficult for Jiraiya to refuse, and since the Third Hokage did not die in the battle, the possibility of Tsunade coming back is very small.
After Wang Dian chatted with Jiraiya for a while, Jiraiya left. Apparently Jiraiya was just upset and wanted to find someone to chat with.
Wang Dian cleared the table and created a shadow clone again: "What a waste of my time."
Wang Dian secretly came to Kabuto's secret room again to continue his research. Kabuto's secret room was very hidden, twenty meters deep underground somewhere in Konoha's sewer pipes.
It is impossible for ordinary people to find this place, so Wang Dian began to study the forbidden arts [Reincarnation of the Dirty Earth], [The Art of the Eight Dissimilarities], [Rashomon], and [Reincarnation of the Undead].
A month later, many of the destroyed areas of Konoha were rebuilt, and Jiraiya became the fifth Hokage at the forced request of the Third Hokage.
Wang Dian ignored these messy things and continued his research until an ANBU came to find his shadow clone, and Wang Dian had to come back.
Wang Dian came to the Hokage's office. Jiraiya was wearing the Hokage's robe: "We Konoha and Sunagakure Village have reached a reconciliation."
"Their Fourth Kazekage had been killed by Orochimaru a long time ago. The attack on Konoha this time was also controlled by Orochimaru."
"So I decided to release all the captured Sunagakure Village ninjas and their Sunagakure Village jinchūriki."
"And you will be the leader of this mission. I will send you twenty ANBU to follow your command."
Wang Dian twitched the corner of his mouth, I'm very busy, okay: "Can you not go?"
Jiraiya put his hands on the table with his fists folded: "There are not many jounin who can be considered to be good in the village now."
"Kakashi, I am going to let him take over the position of ANBU leader, while your master, Metkai, needs to stay in the village to deal with possible troubles at any time."
"None of the other Jonin have the strength to do it alone, so you must go on this mission."
Wang Dian sighed: "Okay, when will we leave? What do I need to prepare?"
Jiraiya: "Leave right away. You don't need to prepare anything. You just need to protect those people."
"Someone will be responsible for the specific handover with Sunagakure Village."
Wang Dian: "That's okay."
Then Wang Dian followed an ANBU to the gate of Konoha. There were more than a dozen carriages at the gate, and many dejected Sunagakure ninjas were sitting in the carriages.
The ANBU captain said to Wang Dian very respectfully: "Dr. Tezuka, please take care of me on the way."
Wang Dian was too lazy to talk nonsense and stepped onto a carriage: "Let's go."
A group of people acted quickly, and in less than three days, they rushed all the way to Sand Hidden Village. The person who received Wang Dian and others was Ma Ji, who had transformed Gaara before.
Next to Maki are Temari and Kankuro, and next to them are Chiyo and Ebizo. Sunagakure Village is really depleted of talent!
The only Jonin who can be said to be in charge is Maki. Together with the retired Chiyo and Ebizo, the other Jonin are simply not enough.
The ANBU captain quickly went up to hand over to Ebizo, while Temari and Kankuro went to find Gaara, but Gaara was very unhappy with the two relatives who had abandoned him.
Different from the original novel, Naruto developed a friendship with him, so when Gaara was imprisoned, he kept looking for Gaara, and eventually became very good friends with Gaara.
Moreover, Temari and Kankuro were also captured in the original work, so getting along with each other during this period of time made Gaara a lot gentler, and even gradually escaped from that sense of loneliness.
But now Gaara was defeated and captured by Jiraiya, and Naruto had never met him face to face. In addition, the Sunagakure Village attacked Konoha, and Naruto hated the Suna Ninja from the bottom of his heart.
Naturally, he would not have anything to do with Gaara. Wang Dian looked bored next to him. After the ANBU captain and Ebizo argued for a long time, they were finally satisfied.
It turns out that the release of these Sand Ninjas is not unconditional, but must be bought with money, and Sunagakure Village also needs to unconditionally become Konoha's younger brothers and obey Konoha's arrangements and orders.
And in the future, Sunagakure Village will pay tribute to Konoha for five years to make up for Konoha's losses. As expected, Konoha could be so generous and release the Suna ninja who attacked Konoha Village.
