Chapter 127

They could not see the slightest hope of defeating Shi Yuan!

Shikaku sighed, looked at the various clans that had not yet handed over their secret techniques, and said: "The clan secret techniques are yours; make your own choices."

The heavily injured Tsume Inuzuka smiled bitterly: "Do we still have a choice? He can control us to hand over the secret techniques at any time."

Once these words were spoken, the clan heads who were still silent also began to smile bitterly.

Hiashi Hyuga sighed, "Accept our fate."

He was now regretting it so much his intestines were turning green, and he hated the elders in his clan so much his teeth were itching.

If they had reached a cooperation with Shi Yuan earlier, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation now.

Since Hiashi Hyuga had accepted his fate, the other clan heads looked at each other and nodded.

There was no other way but to accept it!

Seeing this, Shikaku sighed, "Let's clean up the battlefield first!"

He felt extremely heavy as he looked at the corpses and wounded everywhere.

"Everyone needs to be prepared for war."

Hiashi Hyuga and the others were shaken, their faces turning ugly instantly.

Konoha's losses this time were extremely heavy, not just the sacrifice of the Third Hokage and the disappearance of Danzo.

More importantly, the elite Konoha ninja who died during the Nine-Tails' rampage—they were Konoha's greatest loss.

This caused Konoha, which had not yet recovered from the Third Great Ninja War, to enter a period of weakness once again.

The other ninja villages would likely not let this opportunity pass.

War was inevitable; it was just a question of scale...

But once Konoha was dragged into it, it would inevitably bring even more devastating losses.

This was something Hiashi Hyuga and the others could not accept.

A group of people began to clean up the battlefield with complex thoughts.

Just then.

Swish!

A figure appeared suddenly.

Kakashi and the others immediately looked at the newcomer with vigilance, then revealed expressions of joy.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

The person who arrived was Jiraiya, who currently looked pale and travel-worn.

Seeing this, Kakashi's expression changed slightly, "Itachi are injured?"

Jiraiya waved his hand and asked somewhat nervously: "What happened to Konoha? I saw the First Hokage's secret technique and Susanoo from far away!"

Kakashi and the others looked at each other, and then Kakashi, who was closer to him, stepped forward to explain the situation.

"Shi Yuan... developed secret techniques... Mangekyo Sharingan user... controlled the Nine-Tails... defeated the First Hokage... mind reading..."

After listening, Jiraiya's heart sank to the bottom.

As a smart person, he naturally understood what these achievements and abilities represented.

Invincible!

A person who was invincible to Konoha!

A person who could take whatever he wanted from Konoha!

In short, this was someone Konoha absolutely must not provoke right now!

Jiraiya made a judgment instantly!

He couldn't care about the shock in his heart and asked Shikaku:

"What do Itachi think Shi Yuan's attitude is now?"

After pondering for a moment, Shikaku said:

"What Shi Yuan wants is to study secret techniques, at least at this stage, so in his eyes, Konoha is more of a library of secret techniques!"

He then added: "Shi Yuan has already spoken. The various clans are powerless to resist and will soon hand over their respective secret techniques to him."

"However, Shi Yuan is an irresistible force and can be excluded from our conventional plans."

"What we are worried about now are the other four great ninja villages!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked at Hiashi Hyuga and the others, and immediately understood that this was likely the attitude of others in the village as well.

They couldn't afford to provoke Shi Yuan, so they could at least hide from him!

He couldn't afford to provoke him either.

Jiraiya sighed and said: "Then let's do that for now!"

At this moment, Shikaku stepped forward, "Lord Jiraiya, please serve as the Fifth Hokage!"

As his voice fell, Kakashi also stepped forward, "Please serve as the Fifth Hokage!"

Followed by Hiashi Hyuga, "Please serve as the Fifth Hokage!"

"Please serve as the Fifth Hokage!"

One person after another with significant status in Konoha expressed their stance.

Jiraiya looked at their pleading gazes, and the words of refusal could never come out of his mouth.

He knew that Konoha was now in a crisis and needed someone to preside over the big picture.

He was the most suitable person right now.

However, he was free-spirited by nature, had a bold personality, and did not like the position and affairs of the Hokage, so he frowned and said:

"Before the Fifth Hokage is selected, I will preside over Konoha's work."

With his words, Shikaku, Kakashi, and the others felt relieved.

Jiraiya immediately began to issue orders:

"Have people clean up the battlefield, count the losses, and send someone to contact the Uchiha clan; I want to talk to them."

Kakashi and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.

Now Konoha needed to gather every bit of strength, even if it was the Uchiha.

Soon, Kakashi and the others began to carry out rescue and comfort work after the Nine-Tails disaster in an orderly manner.

And Jiraiya headed to Mount Myoboku.

But to his surprise, he heard Gamabunta's voice as soon as he entered.

"Jiraiya, Itachi've come at the right time. The Great Toad Sage has had another dream, and a new prophecy has appeared!"

"A new prophecy?"

Jiraiya's expression changed slightly.

He had come to Mount Myoboku this time to seek help, not expecting to arrive just in time for this.

Fukasaku also walked out, his expression somewhat anxious, "Little Jiraiya, come with me quickly."

Jiraiya's heart sank; it was the first time he had seen this expression on Fukasaku.

Soon, he was led by Fukasaku into the great hall.

On the high platform in front, the Great Toad Sage, with skin full of wrinkles, smoking a large pipe, and looking sleepy, was squinting his eyes, his chest rising and falling.

It seemed as if his emotions were fluctuating violently.

The moment he saw Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage said tremblingly:

"Little Jiraiya, although this prophecy is not about Itachi, it may be related to Itachi."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and listened carefully with a solemn expression.

"There are two fragments in my prophecy."

"The first fragment: a youth with tomoe in his eyes brought huge changes to the ninja world, but this change requires a huge price!"

"The ones who can stop this change are two youths; one has green eyes and a furry pet by his side, and the other youth has ripple-patterned eyes."

Jiraiya's pupils shrank, and his mind turned rapidly.

"That changer, I'm afraid there is no other candidate besides Shi Yuan!"

"But why does someone else have the Rinnegan?! Didn't Nagato die?"

"And he is Shi Yuan's enemy!"

"Could it be that his change is not good for the ninja world?"

He had once taught Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, so he had a deep memory of the Rinnegan and understood its terror even more.
