Chapter 142：

Jiraiya's face was serious: "This is the Uchiha clan, and he is a Jinchuuriki."

Tsunade crossed her arms and said, "Don't fool me with the old man's tricks. The Uchiha clan is not what it is now because of you."

"The current Uchiha has three pairs of kaleidoscopes. If Shisui comes back soon, there will be four pairs of kaleidoscopes."

"It's too dangerous here Naruto."

Tsunade sneered: "He is a Jinchuuriki, but he is also Minato's son. He can stay wherever he likes. He is not your slave."

When he heard the word Minato, Jiraiya's face softened a lot.

Tsunade took out her finger and shook it: "You don't know how Naruto lived when he was a child, right?"

Jiraiya asked curiously: "Is there any difference?"

When Jiraiya came back last time, Naruto had been rescued by Natsuki, and Jiraiya was ruined because of Natsuki's scheme.

So he left quickly, and Jiraiya didn't know that Naruto had suffered as a child.

After returning this time, Naruto's family had no shortage of food and clothing. Naruto ate with Sasuke every day, and he also had friends at school.

So Jiraiya felt that the Third Hokage was pretty good to Naruto.

Tsunade laughed mockingly: "Naruto was a kid..."

"Just like this, when he was five years old, with Natsuki's help, Naruto's life gradually got better."

Jiraiya looked a little bad. After all, Minato was his apprentice. He couldn't believe that Naruto lived such a life when he was a child.

He drank expired milk and ate bento with sand in it. All the merchants refused to sell anything to him and treated him coldly, hitting or scolding him.

No one played with him and all the kids bullied him.

Jiraiya was a little in disbelief, but it was very easy to verify this kind of thing.

It was impossible for Tsunade to lie.

Jiraiya really didn't know how Naruto spent his childhood.

Jiraiya fell silent. It seemed that Naruto didn't like the third generation for a reason.

"Besides, with me here, are you still afraid of something wrong with Naruto?"

Seeing Jiraiya's expression relax, Tsunade added.

She also didn't want to conflict with Jiraiya.

It's not that he's afraid of Jiraiya, it's just that Jiraiya is Minato's teacher after all, so he shouldn't make things look too ugly.

Jiraiya nodded: "Okay then, I leave Naruto's safety here to you."

Tsunade said: "Don't worry, Naruto is just like his father Minato."

"Are you as smart as Minato?" Jiraiya said happily.

Tsunade looked Jiraiya up and down: "No. He is as decent as Minato."

Jiraiya was completely embarrassed.

"From now on, Naruto is not allowed to follow him after school. He will be picked up and dropped off by ANBU instead." Tsunade said in a very strong tone.

Without waiting for Jiraiya to retort, Tsuna clenched his fingers into fists, the threat clear from his words.

He glanced at Jiraiya sideways and said, "It's a good thing Naruto doesn't like you. Otherwise, if you lead Naruto astray, how would you explain to Minato and Kushina."

Jiraiya was embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute anything.

After all, Tsunade had broken several of his ribs, ruptured several internal organs, and almost burped because of peeping.

Now seeing Tsunade's fist, Jiraiya felt terrified.

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'll go back first, and let Naruto go back early tonight."

Tsunade waved her hand and left without looking back.

Chapter 178 Confused Hongdou

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

Jiraiya was talking to Orochimaru with the contact frog.

"Orochimaru, Danzo has been imprisoned in the dungeon by the old man, and the entire root has been uprooted."

"Your grievances have also been cleared by the old man. Now the villagers know that you were wronged."

"Tsunade has also returned to the village. Would you like to come back and have a look too?"

Jiraiya contacted Orochimaru again. This time the third generation did not speak. It was Jiraiya who was talking to Orochimaru.

Jiraiya told Orochimaru the actions of the last three generations.

Orochimaru replied: "Last time, I owed the old man a favor. I came back to take a look. Let's talk about it later."

Then the communication frog said that Orochimaru had left.

After Jiraiya sent the communication frog here back, he asked the Third Hokage: "Old man, Orochimaru only said to come back and have a look. What should I do?"

The Third Hokage's expression was very calm: "It doesn't matter. If he can come back, he will find that the village can provide him with more conveniences."

Jiraiya shrugged, the recent third generation felt a bit strange to him. But it feels good to not have to use your own brain.

"Where did Naruto go?" Sandai asked.

"He went to the Uchiha."

Jiraiya scratched his head, and the third generation asked him to be optimistic about Naruto and strive to have a good relationship with Naruto so that he could better take care of the Kyuubi and pass on the will of fire to Naruto.

As a result, Naruto is now extremely repelled by Jiraiya. Let alone being a master and disciple, he cannot even be ordinary friends.

"Tsunade protects Naruto and doesn't let me go to find him. She also recognizes Naruto as her younger brother."

When the third generation heard that Tsunade actually recognized Naruto as her younger brother, he didn't know what he thought of, and a flash of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

Sandai took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Let's do this for now. With Tsunade taking care of me, I'll feel relieved."

"As for Tsunade being able to get closer to Naruto, it wouldn't hurt."

“Knock knock knock…”

There was a knock on the door.

"Hokage-sama, Mitarashi Anko asks for an audience."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and nodded: "Let her come in."

Anko opened the door and ran in, asking anxiously: "Sandaime-sama, I saw the village announcement just after I returned to the village."

"Teacher Orochimaru, are everything about Orochimaru...all true?"

Hongdou wore a khaki windbreaker, a short skirt lined with fishnets, and a pendant hanging around her neck.

His whole face turned red with excitement.

The Third Hokage nodded: "Yes, what happened with Orochimaru was indeed maliciously framed by Danzo. Danzo has now been captured and locked up in a dungeon."

"As for Orochimaru, when Uchiha Natsuki takes over as clan leader this time, Orochimaru will return to the village."

"Orochimaru...is going back to the village?..."

Hongdou staggered and walked outside in a distracted state.

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette and didn't care about Anko's rudeness.

Anko has suffered a lot in recent years because of Orochimaru's rebellion against the village.

Orochimaru had made great achievements on the battlefield, so naturally he could not be alone.

Orochimaru has a large number of followers.

When Orochimaru rebelled against the village, some of these followers chose to leave Konoha with Orochimaru.

The other part chose to stay in the village.

The people who stayed in this group actually did not live a good life.

If you have strong abilities, you will be monitored by the ANBU every day. If you have average abilities, you will have to report to the ANBU regularly.

To these people, this is a personal insult.

But there is no way, who can let these people follow Orochimaru.

Anko is a special one among them. She followed Orochimaru for a long time and was Orochimaru's disciple.

But in the end, when Orochimaru defected, he didn't take Anko with him.

Anko even lost part of her memory, thinking that Orochimaru abandoned her.

As a result, he has a love-hate relationship with Orochimaru.

It's no wonder that after Orochimaru was rehabilitated, Anko came to the Third Hokage for verification as soon as she received the news.

It can be said that Anko is just a representative of Orochimaru's old department. What kind of feelings do other people who once followed Orochimaru have towards Orochimaru now?

After all, some of them were given up by Orochimaru, and some of them gave up and Orochimaru chose the village.

Now that Orochimaru has been rehabilitated, these people are no longer human inside and out.

Anko's thoughts were a little confused. She suddenly heard the news that Orochimaru had returned to the village. She didn't know how to face Orochimaru.

Miss your teacher? The resentment of being abandoned? Or something else?

She lost her memory and didn't even know that staying in Konoha Village was her own choice, not that Orochimaru abandoned her.

She didn't know how she should face Orochimaru, but she had a hunch that Orochimaru would definitely come to her.

She touched the curse mark on her neck.

"Most definitely."

…

late at night.

Hyuga clan.

In the mansion of Hyuga Kaito, the fourth elder of the clan.

Hyuga Kaito was sleeping soundly.

What he didn't know was that something was eroding into his body from his left leg after recovery from injury.

This erosion is very, very slow…

The progress is basically based on months, and deep assimilation is going on every moment.

So even though Kaito has the Byakugan, he still doesn't know the condition of his body.

In this silent night, Hinata Kaito's body, starting from his left leg, seemed to have earthworms stirring under the skin. The skin membrane undulated slightly, and then went up along the meridians.

Now these raised meridians have spread to the neck.

It's just that the higher you go, the slower the bulging meridians become.

One night passed, and the final position was still near the neck.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's the same as yesterday, with no changes.

At dawn, the abnormality in Kaito's body completely disappeared again.

After Kaito woke up, he didn't notice any physical discomfort and stayed in the family as usual.

Although he has recovered physically, because of what he did before, Uchiha Natsuki did not come back.

Kaito has always been under house arrest.

Now Natsuki finally came back, picked it up heavily and put it down gently.

Just let the Hyuga clan do some small things.

This completely forgives Kaito's sins.

The entire Hyuga clan is very grateful.

Although the ban on Kaito has been lifted now, the situation in the village is strange.

Kaito didn't want to go out now, for fear of getting Hinata into trouble.

However, Kaito's habit of supporting his juniors is still the same, especially now that he has recovered.
