The Era of Change

And in the village.

With Uchiha Yashiro's actions, the news from the meeting has been announced.

Accused the Fire Nation of its actions against Yamigakure Village, and blamed the Fire Nation for canceling military expenditures.

Publicly announced the abolition of the one-country-one-village system, and Yamigakure Village directly declared independence.

In addition, all ninjas in the village were recalled.

If they doesn't come back, they will be treated as a traitor, which makes the ordinary people in the village very nervous.

In this era of ninja villages, no matter what kind of ninja village it is, it is a one-country-one-village system.

The news was sure to cause a stir when it spread.

No matter how you look at it now, it looks like a storm is about to come.

Jiraiya, who just escaped from the Uchiha tribe, is now hiding in a tavern.

When he heard the news, his expression was a bit solemn and melancholy.

This Uchiha was more exaggerated than he thought.

What happened was beyond his expectation.

Very troublesome.

He could imagine how furious the Daimyo would be if this news reached the ears of the Fire Country Daimyo.

'Asuma's plan is difficult. '

'Sarutobi-sensei. '

Thinking of the old man, Jiraiya also had a headache.

This village is probably in big trouble, no matter what Uchiha has planned.

The Fire Nation will not let them be so independent.

Also with him was Hatake Kakashi, who had just gone to support the Uchiha clan.

Originally Kakashi wanted to help.

As a result, when he went there, he found an old man with white hair popping out of it.

After discovering him, he directly dragged him along.

Now the two of them were sitting and drinking, or rather Jiraiya was drinking and Kakashi was watching.

He probably had some ideas as to why the other party came back.

He also has an idea who the person who attacked Uchiha is.

"Kakashi, you have joined them too."

"Can you tell me the situation?"

"Is the news outside true?"

"The village called back all the people from the border? Is the village really going against the daimyo?"

Jiraiya looked at Kakashi with a complicated expression.

Kakashi is his disciple's disciple, also the son of Hatake Sakumo, so he naturally have some good friendship with Kakashi.

"it is true."

"As for whether Uchiha has other plans, I don't know."

"In today's meeting, and just now, the recall order has been issued. Master Jiraiya, you should know what will happen next."

Hatake Kakashi spoke directly.

He doesn't care whether he takes refuge or not.

He didn't have many thoughts about the Fire Nation.

Mainly, he has spent his whole life serving the village.

If Kakashi really want to choose between Fire nation and the village, then he will definitely choose the village.

As for the village's information, he didn't know anything. Every major works and secrets are handled by Uchiha.

He actually represents some civilian Jōnin, and he doesn't know anything.

"Also, I suggest you leave the village, otherwise..."

Looking at Jiraiya, Kakashi still gave some advice.

"It seems you don't welcome me very much."

Jiraiya took a sip of wine, feeling a little helpless.

When did Konoha become a place he could not return to.

He feels a bit like Orochimaru.

They will all become traitorous ninjas directly.

"I just don't want the village to continue to be in turmoil, and I don't think you can fight them."

Kakashi spoke directly.

This is just a very objective evaluation.

If he really could have fought, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have died.

"It's not me who's causing trouble now."

"You really think highly of them."

Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully.

After a pause, he slowly spoke.

"If I come to them for peace talks, do you think there is a chance?"

"I do not know."

Kakashi couldn't promise anything and shook his head.

Although he is also considered a high-ranking official in Yamigakure Village, a minister.

But he knew that his power did not count at all.

Financial management is also a big department, but the village's finances are tight and there is no money at all.

Jiraiya was a little disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he didn't force anything.

In this situation, he is not qualified to force others to do anything. All he can choose is what to do himself?

"Thanks for your hard work."

"I'm sorry to bother you this time. I'll make a decision after learning more about the village."

"I hope they also have the idea of ​​​​peace talks. If someone asks you for my information, just tell them directly. They should know it anyway."

Not long after, Jiraiya transformed again, changed his clothes, and left. He was very free and easy, and he didn't care whether he concealed the information or not. .

Kakashi watched Jiraiya disappear and did not report it in the end.

Decided not to get involved in this matter.

His mood is also a bit complicated. He first served Sarutobi Hiruzen and now serves the Uchiha.

He didn't even know what the meaning of the village was anymore.

Do we have to fight like this?

What about the relationship between partners?

Friends sacrificed for the village. Is it really necessary for people to sacrifice for the village?

He thought of Uchiha Obito, and also of his father, Hatake Sakumo.

He wondered if they would be disappointed if they knew what the village was like now.

The answer is not that simple to get, and Kakashi is caught in internal strife.

But news about the village spread quickly as time passed.

As time passed, the news of Yamigakure Village spread directly.

Especially under the pressure of Uchiha, the ninjas on the border of the Land of Fire quickly retreated.

Even ninjas who were unwilling to evacuate had no way of guarding the border alone after seeing a large number of people evacuating, otherwise they would be seeking death.

The news also spread directly to the Land of Fire.

In the decades of ninja village history, no ninja village has done this.

It can also be said that no village dares to do this.
