Do you dare?

Chapter 88 Do You Dare? (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)

What the hell!

He initially thought a special enemy was attacking him, although the idea of ​​someone discovering his peeping and then kicking him into the old people's bath was rather strange.

However, for ninjas who have a variety of combat methods, it is not without its own unique psychological warfare tactics, and in some ways it can even be called a threat.

Jiraiya had made as many preparations and precautions as possible in the very short time that had been taken in response to all of the above speculations.

But no matter how hard Jiraiya racked his brains, he couldn't understand why the massive, imposing army before him, large enough to wage a great battle, was there simply because he had been spying...

Do not!

It was a risky sacrifice for the cause of art, a pure act of gathering material without any ulterior motives, at most a bit of excitement or something...

But now this has happened!

Jiraiya's astonishment turned into seriousness as he realized that what he was seeing was definitely not just a show.

"Uchiha Jin?"

Although Jiraiya's tone was questioning, his resolute eyes had already confirmed his guess.

"The hero Jiraiya?"

Although he despised this kind of voyeuristic hobby, a hint of a smile still flashed in Uchiha Jin's eyes after he finished looking at the other person.

The most perfect ninja?

That's interesting...

Hearing Uchiha Jin call out his name again, Jiraiya's sense of unease grew stronger, but at this moment he lowered his eyes slightly.

After using the act of lowering his head to slightly conceal his emotions, his own body, which had been stiffly confronting the Uchiha clan, suddenly became dazed.

Suddenly, Jiraiya stood up from the toad's back, striking an exaggerated pose like a Noh performer on stage, shaking his head and drawing out his words.

"I am Susen Daoren, the toad spirit of Mount Myōboku, the toad sage known to all, from east to west and north to south, the white-haired boy among the famous Sannin, and the hero Jiraiya!"

While making funny faces, Jiraiya was secretly observing Uchiha Jin in front of him.

But Uchiha Jin didn't care at all, and only after Jiraiya finished his exaggerated performance did he slowly speak.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi sent you back!"

Ah!

Jiraiya, who had been joking around, suddenly focused his gaze, and then his expression became serious again.

Simple! Direct!

Uchiha Jin's words were resounding.

Clearly, this Uchiha was completely different from those Jiraiya had encountered before. If he were to use any petty tricks now, it would only make him seem narrow-minded.

He nodded slightly.

Jiraiya calmly stared at Uchiha Jin, seemingly wanting to take a look at this troublemaker who had stirred up the entire Hidden Leaf Village in just a few days.

Uchiha Jin didn't seem to care, his tone remaining calm and direct.

"Do you want to become Hokage?"

"Well……"

It was an incredibly simple question, especially for a disciple who had been raised under the influence of Hiruzen Sarutobi's fiery will since childhood. Becoming Hokage was naturally Jiraiya's dream when he was young.

But at this moment, such a simple question had clearly stumped Jiraiya.

The current Three Ninja!

Does anyone else dream of becoming Hokage?

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. After witnessing the darkness of Konoha and the ninja world, and under the influence of the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku...

At this moment, Jiraiya's only dream is to guide the legendary prophesied child onto the right path; this is the ninja way he adheres to at this moment.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was, after all, his teacher. Since he had pleaded with him so urgently and sincerely because of the changes in Konoha, Jiraiya could not ignore it either.

It would be best if Tsunade could succeed her, but what if that's not possible...

Jiraiya stared directly at Uchiha Jin, the unwavering determination in his eyes speaking volumes. He spoke calmly and firmly.

"If necessary!"

If someone else gave such an answer, it would be as if the Hokage position were something easily obtained, which would most likely give people a sense of arrogance and disdain for others.

But coming from Jiraiya, it all seemed so natural.

Jiraiya, who refused the Hokage position twice in the original work and has now refused it once as well, is fully qualified to say such a thing.

Ah!

As of today!

There wasn't much surprise in Uchiha Jin's eyes. After all, many things had already been decided the moment the other party appeared in Konoha.

but.

Jiraiya might be able to become a good ninja, but what about becoming a good Hokage?

Do you believe in the Will of Fire?

Uchiha Jin uttered the same calm words, but at that moment Jiraiya seemed to see the shadow of his own teacher behind the other person.

"certainly!"

Although he felt it was a bit strange to discuss the Will of Fire with an Uchiha, Jiraiya's answer was resolute.

"Where leaves dance in the air, the fire will never die out; its light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout..."

Uchiha Jin recited the words very seriously, while Jiraiya in front of him looked increasingly strange.

"Do you dare?"

Uchiha Jin's sudden question made Jiraiya's heart skip a beat, realizing that the moment had come when the truth was revealed.

laugh!

A sneer flashed in Uchiha Jin's eyes, then he suddenly turned serious and continued to question Jiraiya.

"In a sense, you are indeed the best candidate for Hokage. If you were willing to take action, you might be able to bring peace to the village and the Uchiha clan. But do you dare?"

"As the Hokage of Konoha, do you dare treat the Uchiha clan fairly?!"

"As the Hokage of Konoha, do you dare to fairly judge Hiruzen Sarutobi and the current Konoha leadership, and make them pay the price for all the crimes they committed in the past?!"

"As the Hokage of Konoha, do you dare to treat every villager of Konoha fairly, justly, and transparently, and truly live up to the title of the Hokage of the village?!"

"If you dare to do it, then the Uchiha clan has no objections!"

The series of soul-searching questions caused a sudden upheaval in Jiraiya's heart, which had been able to remain calm.

At this moment, Uchiha Jin and many members of the police department had their crimson eyes fixed on Jiraiya, making the already oppressive atmosphere in the room even more tense.

"this……"

Although Jiraiya wanted to give a positive answer, upon returning to the village and realizing that Danzo was dead, he was somewhat disappointed by the village's internal strife, but he also saw the possibility of peace in this change.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Jin's repeated questions shattered Jiraiya's illusions once again, making it impossible for him to answer against his will.

In an instant!

Hesitation, guilt, regret, loneliness...

A variety of complex emotions flashed through Jiraiya's eyes, even causing this most perfect ninja to lower his guard.

Jiraiya's reaction at this moment was within Uchiha Jin's expectations, but he did not take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack and seriously injure his opponent.

Uchiha Jin stood there casually, the smile in his eyes gradually turning into contempt.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Uchiha Jin gave his conclusion decisively, his contempt undisguised.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's resolute face paled slightly, but Uchiha Jin did not stop. Instead, his eyes were filled with killing intent and fighting spirit as he spoke with unwavering determination.

"I dare!"
