Konoha is now shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
As Jiraiya made his way to the Hokage building, he could no longer see any ninjas wandering around.
Almost all of them are practicing hard.
In every war, people die.
No one wants to be the one who gets killed.
And everyone wants to earn more merits in the war, try to make themselves dazzling, be noticed by the village leaders, and then receive a lot of resource support and cultivation.
So there are many ninjas who desire war in their hearts.
After all, in peacetime, it is almost impossible for them to earn merits and become the top leaders of the village.
But in war, as long as you kill enough enemies, you can exchange your merits for what you want and achieve a counterattack in life.
But more ninjas are afraid of war, especially civilian ninjas.
Their strength is not as good as that of the family ninjas. Once they go to the battlefield, they basically never return. Only a few ninjas can stand out.
Every war results in the death of a large number of people.
The majority of the casualties were civilian ninjas.
Unfortunately, they are ninjas. Even if they are afraid of war in their hearts, they can only go to the battlefield when the village leaders give orders. They have no right to refuse.
Because if he doesn't obey the village's orders, he will be directly listed as a traitor and immediately hunted down by the village's elite troops, which will only kill him faster.
"Good afternoon, Master Jiraiya."
"Master Jiraiya, you are my idol. Can you sign an autograph for me? I will work hard to become a ninja like you."
Jiraiya walked down the street and many civilians and ninjas greeted him excitedly.
Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's deliberate creation, Jiraiya's image in the minds of lower-class ninjas and civilians is very tall and noble.
If he could establish enough merits and gain enough reputation during World War II, the position of Hokage would almost be his as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to abdicate.
Jiraiya smiled and nodded one by one, saying that if one wanted to become Hokage, he had to rely on the support of a large number of civilians.
"Daisang, why are you a little depressed today?"
Jiraiya saw Might Dai in green clothes in the crowd, but he seemed very depressed and no longer had the passionate look he used to have.
This surprised Jiraiya.
"Master Jiraiya, I really am a loser. I failed the Chūnin test again."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Might Dai raised his head and said with tears in his eyes that he was extremely sad.
Konoha has no allies now, so the assessment of Chūnin is now more relaxed.
As long as the Genin in the village feels that they have the strength of a Chūnin, they can ask the village to promote them to Chūnin, as long as they can pass the assessment.
As for the joint Chūnin assessment by several villages, that was after the Third War, when the villages signed an alliance agreement.
Come and pass the Chūnin assessment and show the strength of each village.
Might Dai practices diligently every day, and now according to Jiraiya's speculation, he can at least open the Fourth Gate, which means he must have the strength of Chūnin.
The reason for failing the assessment is definitely that you did not pass the written test. If you cannot pass the written test, it is impossible to conduct an assessment of your ability.
That was because he could never pass the written test, so he could never become Chūnin.
I think the written test of Chūnin Assessment plays a big role, and it is necessary to understand the Will of Fire.
If you don't fully understand, it will be impossible to proceed to the next step of assessment.
"Dai-san, the potential of youth is unlimited. How can you be so dejected when you encounter a little setback? Your youth has just begun. You must let it roar. I believe that you will eventually become the blue beast of Konoha."
Jiraiya said encouragingly to Might.
He still values Might Dai very much and is able to train him as his confidant.
"Master Jiraiya, you are right. My youth has just begun. How can I let it fade? I will continue to practice and strive to become an excellent ninja like you, Master Jiraiya, as soon as possible."
Might's mentality was already very good, and with a little encouragement from Jiraiya, his blood was immediately rekindled. He jumped into the air again, flipped over, landed on his hands, supported his body, and started running again.
"Dai-san, I believe you can definitely become an excellent ninja."
Jiraiya said with a smile.
Might Dai ran away with great energy and soon disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.
Jiraiya then went to the Hokage's office.
After entering the Hokage's office, he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen still dividing Shadow Clone and looking through many documents.
"Teacher, you can't keep working so hard. You need to take a break once in a while."
As soon as he entered the office, Jiraiya was choked by the smell of cigarettes in the room.
"Jiraiya, I don't want to be so busy, but there are so many things going on in the village lately that I can't help myself. How is your training in Mount Myōboku going?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, very happy to see Jiraiya.
"I have successfully mastered that technique and no longer need to go to Mount Myōboku often." Jiraiya replied.
"That's good. The village is in urgent need of manpower, especially masters like you. For the time being, you should not go to Mount Myōboku for training. I have some tasks for you to do."
Sarutobi Hiruzen talks about Jiraiya.
"Being able to contribute to the village has always been my code of conduct. Now that the village is in this situation, even if you don't say anything, I will take the initiative to ask you for a mission to do."
Jiraiya replied with a smile.
"That's what you said. Don't bother yourself with too many tasks when the time comes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he put down the document in his hand.
"I heard that Uzumaki Mito gave you their clan's sealing technique."
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Jiraiya.
Jiraiya knew that this matter could not be kept secret.
He nodded directly and said, "Teacher, the last time I visited the Senju clan, Senior Uzumaki Mito met me and asked me for a promise. I agreed, and he gave me the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique."
Jiraiya didn't intend to lie, because there was absolutely no need.
"A what promise?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with great concern.
"Senior Mito, tell me to take better care of the Uzumaki tribe members when I see them outside and try to find them a safe place to live."
Jiraiya replied.
"Then you must not break your promise and betray the trust others have placed in you. Also, the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are very powerful. You must practice them well and make good use of them."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, taking a drag from his pipe with a small smile on his face.
He did not ask him for the sealing technique, nor did he say that the Uzumaki clan was dangerous and that getting too close to them would bring disaster upon himself.
