Chapter 3: Question! Where did Konoha’s high-level combat power go?

"Oh, how did we defeat the four Great Ninja villages one by one in several Ninja battles?"

Hyuga Nàiluò said in a suspicious tone.

"How is it that I remember the village having a lot of high-level combat power?"

"Where is our Sannin? In the second Ninja War, wasn't it because of Sannin that we won?"

Although knowing that Hyuga Nàiluò was acting stupid, Third Hokage replied helplessly:

"Jiraiya and Tsunade both have missions, and they can't abandon them."

"Mission?" Hyuga Nàiluò asked rhetorically, "I don't know what kind of mission it is that will prevent them from coming back even if the village is facing war."

"Or,"

Hyuga Nàiluò paused.

"Are they unable to come back, or are they unwilling to come back?"

Not to mention Tsunade, Jiraiya's attitude towards the Third Hokage is very intriguing.

In the original with Orochimaru' attack on Konoha, Jiraiya had only stepped in to stop Orochimaru's  snakes and the Oto ninja at the stadium.

However, as soon as Third Hokage died, Jiraiya quickly appeared.

How does Jiraiya unsealed the Ninja Art: Four Flames Formation , which couldn't be broken into by countless Shinobi from the outside?

That is the Four Violet Flames Formation of Oto's four people!

It's not the Ninja Art: Four Crimson Ray Formation which is  A powerful barrier formation noted to only be usable by those of Kage calibre, whereby four shinobi, standing in a square formation, erect a large barrier that is red in colour. It was stated to be several times stronger than the Four Violet Flames Formation, and is highly malleable and elastic.

A Sage Art Super Big Ball Rasengan clashes against it, can the enchantment of Otonin four people stop it?

To put it bluntly, the only excuse for Orochimaru and the Toad Sage is that they don't want to come back!

"Master Jiraiya may be on a mission," Hyuga Nàiluò said, and then the conversation changed.

"But with mistress Tsunade, how often do I hear news that mistress Tsunade is running around in the Ninja World gambling and being chased debt collectors"

"Ahem!"

Third Hokage coughed slightly, and said, "It's all a cover for a S-rank secret mission."

Bullshit!

The patriarchs thought so in their hearts.

What secret mission do you need to take a little girl and run around in the Ninja World with a pig? !

"All right."

Hyuga Nàiluò nodded.

Didn't ask what the secret mission was.

The missions are all issued by Hokage.

Tsunade is also a disciple of the Third Hokage.

The other party is Hokage, and can easily order her back with no arguments.

"So, where did Master Orochimaru go?"

"Orochimaru naturally defected because of being caught doing human testing!"

Third Hokage looked bad.

"Human tests, isn't the village doing it all the time?"

Konoha's experimentation of the First Hokage's cells in humans is not a secret thing for Jōnin rank and above.

The village once recruited volunteers to inject the First's hokage's Senju cells.

"Human testing has long since stopped. Orochimaru defected because it was revealed that Konohagakure villagers where used in the human testing."

Danzo said.

"It turned out to be like this." Hyuga Nàiluò "it suddenly dawned on me."

"As a Hokage's disciple, it is indeed unforgivable to act on villagers from the same village."

The Third Hokage looked at Hyuga Nàiluò coldly, without speaking.

He understood the meaning in Hyuga Nàiluò's words.

This is alluding to him as Hokage, but he wants Hyuga Nàiluò, who is also a villager, to die!

"However, even if we don't count the three Great Sannin, didn't we win the third Shinobi War? Where is our Fourth Hokage? Where is our Nine Tails Jinchūriki?"

"Hyuga Nàiluò!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shouted!

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm just saying."

Hyuga Nàiluò sighed.

"Just four years ago, we won the third Ninja World War."

"At that time, the Sannin were still here, and the yellow flash danced upon the battlefield!"

"However, on the night of the Nine Tails attack, when the Fourth Hokage was fighting the enemy, how was it no one in the village could seal the Nine Tails?"

"Lord Hokage said that Konoha no longer has the high-level combat power that can compete with the Fourth Raikage and the two perfect Jinchūriki, but where did our high-level combat power go?"

For a while, everyone present couldn't help but think of the Fourth Hokage couple.

Namikaze Minato, single-handedly using the Flying Thunder God jutsu fought over 1000 Shinobi, handing  the combination of A and B from the Cloud Village!

Uzumaki Kushina, Adamantine Sealing Chains just turned the strongest tail beast into a live power bank!

If these two are still there, why should Konoha fear Cloud Shinobi Village.

Not to mention Sannin, who became famous late into the Second Great Shinobi War!

Officially because of so many Kage-level combat power, Konoha was able to win against so many Shinobi villages in the various battles.

And now…

Everyone looked at the aging Third Hokage and the three council elders.

"Don't mess around!"

Mitokado Homura yelled angrily as he looked at the eyes of the patriarchs looking at them.

Utatane Koharu also said:

"The Fourth Hokage' Couple died for the village. You should learn from their will of fire and dedicate yourself to the village!"

"What about Konoha's White Fang?"

Hyuga Nàiluò said abruptly.

"Uh..."

Everyone was startled.

Unexpectedly, they heard the name of a man who had been dead for almost ten years.

"Sakumo Hatake committed suicide because of a mission failure which had caused heavy losses to the village. This case has already been settled."

After a long time, it was Third Hokage who reacted first and said.

"Konoha's White Fang died in Konoha's 41st year. At that time, the Second Shinobi War had been over for several years. What mission did Lord Sakumo fail do to that caused such heavy losses to the village?!"

Kakashi, who had been silent next to him, was startled.

Yes!

What task did his father fail?

He didn't even know now.

At that time, it was clearly a peaceful age.

Why did his father cause "significant losses" to the village because of his failed mission?

"This is the secret of the village, no comment!"

Third Hokage said with a black face.

"Heh~"

Hyuga Nàiluò chuckled lightly.

"Before the death of Konoha's White Fang, I remember very clearly that rumors of his mission failure spread quickly throughout the village."

"At that time, someone even ran to Hatake's house and shouted, saying that Senior White Fang was not worthy of being a ninja."

"Are all these naturally spontaneous?!"
