Chapter 257 Jiraiya's Return to the Village

A few days later.

On a sunny spring morning, a dusty traveler came to Muye Village.

is Jiraiya in disguise.

Before entering the village, Jilai also discovered the change in Konoha.

Outside the village, some forests were cleared and turned into fields. To his surprise, it was not a farmer who was busy in those fields, but a Konoha ninja.

They rolled their trouser legs and pushed a small machine back and forth in the field. They quickly planted a large number of seedlings, looking extremely relaxed.

Zilai couldn't help feeling very curious, and walked over to get close to one of the Konoha ninjas, and soon learned from the other party:

turn out to be.

This kind of machine is called a rice transplanter, which is driven by the ninja's chakra. It can realize automatic rice transplanting, greatly improving work efficiency and quality of rice transplanting.

It was developed by Konoha's scientific ninjutsu research and development department. It replaced the original manual transplanting with a semi-mechanized method, which greatly improved efficiency.

As for these fertile rice fields, Konoha ninjas created them through soil tunnels, and then irrigated them with water tunnels. The food they produce has already made Konoha self-sufficient.

It seems that Konoha Village has really changed a lot.

I can't help but sigh with emotion.

He originally thought that after the Uchiha clan returned to Konoha, they would not be much better than Danzo. After all, the Uchiha clan is a well-known militant, and was asserted by the second generation as "a clan born with evil."

In order to realize the ambition of unifying the ninja world, the high-level Uchiha leaders led by Duan will definitely fight everywhere, bringing endless pain and disaster to the ninja world.

But what Zilai never expected was.

After Uchiha's return, he immediately announced the identity of Konoha's permanent neutral village, and started vigorous reforms, developing rapidly with a peaceful and open attitude.

For half a year, the people of Uchiha did not leave Konoha, and Konoha Village did not have any conflicts with the outside world.

Jilai also followed the revelation of the great toad sage on Mount Miaomu, and has been struggling to find the son of the prophecyNaruto Uzumaki.

During this period, he kept hearing about the changes in Konoha from various channels, and saw with his own eyes that people from various countries and Ninja Village ran to Konoha one after another.

Finally, when passing by Konoha this time, Jiraiya couldn't bear it anymore.

He intends to put aside the search for Naruto for the time being, and take a few days to go back to Konoha to have a look in person.

Unknowingly, Zilai also arrived at the entrance of the village.

Here...is it really the Konoha Village in his memory?

As far as the eye can see, it is a luxurious village gate, about ten meters wide and seven or eight meters high, for pedestrians and caravans to enter and exit.

Surrounded by stretches of residential areas, there are several construction sites under construction. Many Uchiha ninjas are wearing yellow hard hats, and they are constructing with wooden ninjutsu in full swing.

On the street in the distance, bustling and crowded, a nine-story watchtower tens of meters high stands at the end of Yile Avenue. Even Konoha's back mountain has been built with tall buildings.

Get a new look.

This is Jiraiya's impression of Konoha.

In just half a year, Konoha has changed even more than in the past few decades, which is really incredible.

After being stunned for a while at the entrance of the village, Zilai also came back to his senses, and then slowly walked into the village.

Once again set foot on the familiar Yile Avenue, surrounded by bustling crowds and bursts of noise.

I can also clearly feel that there are more shops on both sides of the street, row upon row, dazzling. The business of the store is also very good, and there are people queuing in front of almost every store.

The most popular shops sell all kinds of trendy electronic equipment, such as computers, cameras, radios and the like.

Street lamps and utility poles have also been erected in the village, and some ninjas are installing lines and debugging the network.

Konoha has not only become bigger and busier, but also more electrified.

At this time, a tour group walked towards him, which caught Jiraiya's attention.

Two beautiful Konoha female ninjas are walking in front, holding trumpets, and are enthusiastically introducing Konoha's customs, history and culture to tourists.

The tourists came from all over the ninja world in appearance. There were 67-year-olds and children of a few years old, waving small flags in their hands, and passing by Jiraiya while talking and laughing.

Listening to the comments of these tourists, they are going to visit the Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan next, and they plan to buy a lot of souvenirs.

Like the high-necked blue robes of the Uchiha clan, fans with the Uchiha clan crest printed on it, and things like limited edition kunai.

Since defeating the 100,000 Allied Forces of the Ninja World, Uchiha has become the well-deserved No. 1 family in the Ninja World.

This clan is not only powerful beyond bounds, but also very handsome, whether it is clothing, or the height and appearance of the clan members, they are all top-notch in the ninja world.

Therefore, many "fans" of the Uchiha clan appeared in the ninja world.

Uchiha's negative image for decades has been reversed like this.

Jiraiya was also emotional again.

After separating from the tour group, he saw the patrol team of the police department, maintaining law and order on the street.

In addition to the Hyuga clan, there were also many civilian ninjas among the patrol team. They are friendly, patiently maintain order, and provide help to Konoha villagers and foreign tourists.

while walking.

Gululu.

There was a sound of protest in my stomach, and it happened to be lunch time, so Zilai thought about it and came to Yile Ramen with ease.

Ten years ago, when this store first opened, he had eaten here, and he never forgot the wonderful taste.

So every time Zilai also returns to the village, he will come to eat a bowl.

"Boss, have a bowl of miso ramen."

Jiraiya sat down on the stool and said hello.

"Okay, just a moment."

The boss responded with a smile on his hands, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, and then plunged into the back kitchen to get busy.

After waiting for two minutes, a bowl of steaming ramen exuding a rich aroma was brought to Jiraiya.

Zi slip.

Zilai couldn't wait to take a mouthful of noodles, his pupils dilated immediately, put down his chopsticks, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Boss, your cooking skills are getting better and better, the noodles are really chewy."

"You flatter me."

Thandai explained very modestly, "That's because the wheat used to make this kind of noodles is a new variety developed by Konoha, and the quality is top-notch."

Ji Lai also heard the words, picked up the noodles in surprise, and took a second look.

At this time.

Following the sound of chirping, several children with schoolbags walked into Yile Ramen and sat next to Jilaiya.

They are all students of ninja school.

He didn't make a sound when he came, listening to the little ghosts chatting.

"My sister was admitted to the Chunin class with a good grade of tenth and received a full scholarship. She said that she would study until she graduated from the Ninja School, and then stay in the Ninja School to do scientific research. You are envious, hehe."

A kid had a runny nose and proudly showed off his sister.

As soon as the voice fell, someone hummed softly:

"What's so great, your sister is amazing, but you are the bottom of the crane yourself, so let's think about how to deal with this midterm exam. By the way, after this exam is over, I will be reclassified according to my grades. I must seize the opportunity , into the elite class!"

"And I!"

A girl next to her raised her hand with a longing look on her face, "I heard that there is a Uchiha Sasuke in the elite class, who was born in the No. I was admitted to the elite class, so I must be at the same table as him."

Her words were immediately ridiculed by another girl:

"Don't be a nympho, look in the mirror. Sasuke is a top student. He spends his whole day in cultivation. He has no interest in girls at all. It's impossible for him to like you."

A few little devils, you talk to each other and talk non-stop.

From their chats, Jiraiya also learned about various system reforms and changes in the ninja school, and became more and more surprised.

after awhile.

Shua.

The curtain of Ichiraku Ramen was lifted, and three more students walked in.

It is Onito Suigetsu, Chojuro and Shiro.

"Uncle, have you finished eating, let me go."

Shuiyue dug her nostrils and saw that there was no room, so she urged Zilaiye.

"Oh, sorry."

Zilai also smiled, stood up, and offered his seat for the three of them.

Then, he heard the whispered discussions of the students next to him:

"Look, they are people from the elite class. It is said that their grades are very good, second only to Sasuke."

"Of course, I heard that these three guys are all disciples of the fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, and they were sent by her to study in Konoha."

"Do you think they will return to Kirigakure in the future, or will they stick to Konoha after graduation? After all, our Konoha is much better than that broken village of Kirigakure."

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue raised her eyebrows, turned her head and smiled at them, revealing two rows of sharp teeth:

"Student, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."

"I...we, didn't say anything."

The little ghosts shrank their necks in fright, and ran away before finishing the ramen.

"This kind of thing, even if it enters the elite class, it is still the bottom of the crane."

Shuiyue shook her head disdainfully.

Is it an international student?

Zilai also learned the identities of Shuiyue and the other three, and he was quite surprised in his heart.

Who would have imagined that one day, other gifted boys from Ninja Village would come to Konoha to go to school. Moreover, after graduation, these people are likely to stay here and build Konoha under the influence of Konoha culture.

As far as Jiraiya knows, these important systems of the ninja school were all proposed by the Sixth Hokage Uchiha.

What a scary guy with a big vision.

ten minutes later.

Jiraiya walked the streets of Konoha again.

He found out that Tsunade is now Konoha's medical director, so he plans to go around Konoha Hospital next time to see if he can find a chance...to meet her.

That woman is the eternal white moonlight in his heart.

Not far away.

Jilai also suddenly saw that there was a commotion on the street ahead, and many people gathered together.

What happened?

He squeezed into the crowd and found that an old man accidentally fell down, causing a hemorrhage in the back of the brain, and the whole person fell into a coma, and his condition was very bad.

The villagers who were watching by the side did not dare to step forward to help, because they were worried that improper treatment would aggravate the old man's injuries.

Zilai also frowned when he saw this, and wanted to help.

Although he is not a medical ninja, he has beaten Tsunade on the battlefield before and performed some simple emergency treatment, and there is no problem.

However, at this moment.

"excuse me."

Several ninjas in white coats rushed to the end in time to conduct a series of examinations and diagnoses on the unconscious old man.

Among them, a ninja gently supported the old man's head with his hands, and saw a soft blue chakra emanating from his palm, and the wound on the back of the old man's head healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, stopping the bleeding.

This is... Palm Immortal Art.

Zilai also saw this scene, and was surprised again.

He heard that Tsunade had trained a group of medical ninjas, which made Konoha Hospital famous and attracted many patients from all ninja circles.

Looking at it now, it is really professional.

After stopping the old man's bleeding, a small slug emerged from the arms of a medical ninja, lay on the old man, and slowly delivered chakra to him.

Then, several medical ninjas carefully put the old man on the stretcher and lifted him up.

Papa Papa.

The crowd applauded and discussed enthusiastically:

"so amazing!"

"When my child is admitted to Chunin, I will let him choose the medical ninja major, and then he will learn from Tsunade-sama and become a glorious Konoha doctor."

"Recently, Tsunade-sama has been very busy, running between hospitals and schools, treating patients and saving lives, and teaching and lecturing. She has paid too much for Konoha."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Zilai also hesitated.

Since Tsunade is so busy, it's better...don't bother her.

The crowd dispersed.

Jiraiya was in a trance, and walked to the central square of Konoha without knowing it.

He raised his head and saw a white jade statue more than 30 meters high, which looked like Uchiha Duan.

The face of the statue is cut and chiseled, showing a serious face. He stands tall like a mountain, looking calmly into the distance, as if he is a prophet who has seen the future of Konoha.

Many villagers came to the foot of the statue, looking up and praying devoutly.

Uchiha break has become a spiritual belief in the hearts of many people.

I can understand it myself.

after all.

The Konoha, who was once colonized by the four major ninja villages and the people were in dire straits, only half a year after Uchiha Dan became Hokage, not only came back to life, but also became better than ever.

And it's much better.

Adhere to the concept of permanent neutrality, do not participate in the hegemony of major powers, and follow a peaceful and open development path. And drastically reform the old system, develop new usages of ninjutsu and chakra, and use the power of ninjas for production and life.

It turns out.

These ideas and means are correct, and have achieved great success through practice.

Jiraiya stood under the statue and thought for a long time, and couldn't help but start to doubt

Is what he is doing right now?

Is he really going to find Uzumaki Naruto and help the latter defeat Uchiha Duan, thus "saving the ninja world"?

Also, his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to revive the past Hokage and regain Konoha from Uchiha, is that right?

this moment.

Jilai also fell into unprecedented confusion.

Half a month passed by.

If he didn't pay attention, Jilai lived in Konoha for more than ten days, because he found that he was infatuated with the life here.

Jiraiya, who came back to his senses, didn't dare to stay any longer, and finally remembered his mission again.

He left Konoha again, looking for answers on a long journey...
