"Asuma heard about you and admires you very much. After I went home last time, he kept yelling at me that he wanted to meet you and aspire to become a ninja like you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen then said.
He is now training Jiraiya as his successor.
Naturally, I also want Jiraiya to get closer to his family.
It is impossible for a person to be without selfishness.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he couldn't stay as Hokage forever and would have to abdicate sooner or later, but he was used to holding power.
Even if he abdicated, he didn't want to leave the power center of Konoha.
So his family ninja had to have a good relationship with Jiraiya.
"Teacher, I will go see the teacher's wife later."
Jiraiya nodded in agreement, he also knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
In order to successfully become Hokage, he must get the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
So I had to show some kindness to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen did not support him to be the Hokage, he would definitely have to go through many twists and turns to become the Hokage. He might even have to rely on force and launch a coup to control the power of Konoha.
Jiraiya didn't want to become Hokage and control Konoha's power in this way.
Because if a coup is launched by force, it will weaken Konoha's strength.
Even if he became Hokage, he would still have to spend a lot of time to continue to develop Konoha's strength.
This will only delay the time for him to unify the ninja world.
Jiraiya would never do that unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jiraiya left the Hokage's office and headed to the Sarutobi clan.
The Sarutobi clan also joined the village when Konoha Village was first established.
The strength of the Sarutobi clan is definitely among the top among the major ninja clans in Konoha.
Because their clan has a very good relationship with the Enma clan, the powerful ninjas in the clan can sign a contract with the monkeys of the Enma clan.
Aside from the Summoning beasts from the three holy places, there are very few Summoning beasts that are stronger than the Ape Demon Clan.
The Summoning beasts of the Enma clan have extremely high IQs and can perform ninjutsu. Some of the monkeys of the Enma clan can even transform into golden cudgels, which become weapons among ninjas and are extremely difficult to deal with.
Especially the monkey demon that signed a contract with Sarutobi Hiruzen, his strength is even more extraordinary, and he can greatly enhance Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength.
The residence of the Sarutobi Hiruzen clan is in the core area of the village.
There are many Sarutobi clan ninjas patrolling around the Sarutobi clan's base.
There were some ninjas from the Sarutobi clan, and they were followed by monkeys with giant ears.
These monkeys are Summoning beasts from the Ape Demon Clan. They have huge ears and are extremely sensitive to the slightest movements.
The Summoning Beasts of the Ape Demon Clan can be said to be of many types. Not all apes have the ability to transform into an indestructible form. Many also have other abilities, such as being good at Fire Style, Water Style, and some are good at perception.
And Jiraiya discovered that there were still Anbu hiding around.
"The security work is really good."
After all, this is the Hokage's residence, and many important documents are stored in it. It must be closely guarded to prevent anyone from sneaking in and stealing important documents.
As a well-known figure in the village now, and as Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite disciple, Jiraiya easily entered the Sarutobi clan.
And there was also a ninja from the Sarutobi clan who took him to find Sarutobi Lake Biwa.
When I met Sarutobi Biwako, she was teasing the three-year-old Asuma.
"Jiraiya, sit down."
Sarutobi Biwako said happily when he saw Jiraiya coming.
As Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife, she naturally knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to train Jiraiya to become Hokage.
I personally poured a cup of tea for Jiraiya.
"The teacher is busy with work recently, so he asked me to buy some fruit to come and see you. Please don't be angry with him."
Jiraiya said as he placed the gifts he bought on the road on the table.
"Those are all his excuses for not wanting to go home. I am old and ugly now, so of course he doesn't want to see me every day."
Sarutobi Biwako said with a smile.
Sarutobi Biwako has not aged yet and is not as ugly as in the original work. She exudes a mature aura and is a perfect and delicious wife.
In fact, he could also understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen was not at home every day.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was exhausted after dealing with various government affairs every day.
Sarutobi Lake Biwa is now at the age of sitting on the ground and sucking soil like a wolf or a tiger.
If I go home and continue to serve Sarutobi, Biwako's body will definitely not be able to handle it.
"Teacher's wife, being old and ugly has nothing to do with you. In my opinion, many young girls are not as pretty as you. The teacher is simply too busy recently and cannot go home." Jiraiya said.
"Jiraiya, it would be nice if your teacher had the same idea as you, and didn't have to be away from home every day. If the Hokage can work in the office, doesn't he have room at home for him to work?"
Sarutobi Biwako still said with resentment.
It seems that he has been unsatisfied for a long time.
"Asuma, this is a gift I bought for you."
Jiraiya changed the subject. He couldn't say anything bad about Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he planned to buy some more nourishing foods and send them to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The gift he bought for Asuma was a windmill with a bell.
When the wind blows, the bells can make pleasant sounds.
This is Konoha Village, with toys that children love to play with.
"Thank you, Brother Jiraiya."
Asuma said happily as he took the windmill.
"Jiraiya, I heard that you have been training very hard in Mount Myōboku recently. You must be exhausted. Let's have dinner here. Tell me what you want to eat and I will cook it for you myself. Let you taste the cooking of Master's wife."
Sarutobi Biwako said with a smile.
He seems very confident in his cooking skills.
Jiraiya didn't hold back and named a few of his favorite dishes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to come to Sarutobi Hiruzen as a guest in order to strengthen his relationship with the Sarutobi clan.
If you are too polite, it will be unsightly.
Not long after, Sarutobi Biwako called many young ninjas from the Sarutobi clan to talk to Jiraiya.
These young ninjas of the Sarutobi clan admire Jiraiya very much.
When talking with Jiraiya, everyone was filled with admiration and respect.
In order to show his kindness, Jiraiya also taught them some ninjutsu learned from the system.
Of course, Jiraiya would never hand over the truly powerful ninjutsu.
Just like now that he has mastered Sage Mode, Jiraiya didn't tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that he must be hiding some tricks.
If he reveals all his tricks.
If others study his various methods thoroughly and then use them to deal with him, he will become very passive.
The ninja's own intelligence is very important. If your methods are further known to the enemy, then the next time you meet the enemy, there is a high possibility that you will be killed.
