Chapter 90 This is my Will of Fire!
The blond-haired youth stood at the door and knocked.
"It's Minato." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Come in."
With permission granted, the blond youth stepped into the Hokage's room, his expression seemingly worried, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter, Minato?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "You can just say it here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally favored this young talent who had mastered the Second Hokage's forbidden space-time technique.
This is a manifestation of his Will of Fire.
Minato Namikaze composed himself and reported, "Third Hokage, Jiraiya-sama has returned!"
"Oh? That brat came back without even telling me?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered, and he said with some displeasure, "Where is he now?"
'
"...At the hospital." Minato Namikaze glanced quickly at Tsunade, his expression complex, and said, head bowed, "Seriously injured."
Although Jiraiya was considered his mentor and had guided his training, he should have stood up for his mentor after he was beaten up and hospitalized.
But as soon as Minato Namikaze saw the injuries on Jiraiya's teacher, he immediately knew that the one who had seriously injured his teacher was none other than the famous Tsunade.
Without even a second thought, it must be that Jiraiya-sensei has done something wicked again.
Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently turned to look at Tsunade:
'
""
Over the years, whenever Jiraiya has been hospitalized, it's highly likely that it's related to this person.
"Why are you looking at me?" Tsunade shrugged, casually playing with her freshly done manicure. "When I found him, he was peeping into the women's bathhouse."
At this point, she tilted her head to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked curiously, "Old man, is this also your Will of Fire?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched, and he shook his head seriously, saying, "The Will of Fire will not favor anyone. Jiraiya's hospitalization for peeping at others taking a bath is entirely deserved."
He coughed, avoiding Tsunade's mocking gaze, and turned to look at Minato Namikaze: "Minato, is there anything else?"
'
"...Yes." Minato Namikaze composed himself and said, "A boy brought him to the hospital, but the boy wouldn't let the medical staff near him, saying that Lord Jiraiya is..."
"7
He paused for a moment before continuing in a strange tone, "He said he was a ninja from another village disguised as a spy."
Is this even possible?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, which had been squinting, suddenly widened.
"What's this boy's name?" He stroked his beard, finding it somewhat amusing.
There are still people who don't recognize Jiraiya?
"If I remember correctly..." Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, then looked up, "His name is Uchiha Ike."
"Um?
'
"Um?
""
Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi simultaneously emitted a confusing nasal sound.
Seeing the two men simultaneously displaying expressions of surprise, Minato Namikaze instinctively asked, "Do you two know this boy?"
"Of course I know him," Tsunade nodded and said, "He's my student."
Minato Namikaze was also a bit dumbfounded. "Then..."
'
First, he was severely injured by Lady Tsunade, and then he was suspected of being a spy by Lady Tsunade's students. Is today Jiraiya-sensei's unlucky day?
"He must have his reasons for doing this," Tsunade said calmly, squinting at Minato Namikaze. "Or do you have a problem with it?"
To this, Minato Namikaze could only manage a wry smile.
"Of course I have no objection." He spread his hands, forcing a smile, and said, "But Jiraiya-sama is almost unconscious right now, and that boy said he absolutely won't let anyone near him until Tsunade-sama arrives..."
'
"Tsk."
Tsunade clicked her tongue, somewhat annoyed, and said, "That brat, he's always causing me trouble..."
With that, Tsunade hurriedly left the Hokage's office.
"this..
'
Minato Namikaze looked very hesitant.
Although Tsunade's tone was full of reproach before she left.
But he could clearly see that the other person's lips were turned up!
Will Jiraiya-sama be killed by these two?
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
He smiled kindly and patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder: "Minato, could you go check on him for me?"
"good!"
Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement and, without further hesitation, jogged after him.

"Hey...isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?"
Looking at the nurses, doctors, and ninjas surrounding him in layers, Jiraiya swallowed hard and said.
He had never seen such a grand spectacle before.
After being flown like a kite all the way to the hospital, Jiraiya thought his tumultuous day was finally over.
As a result, the black-haired boy placed him in front of a chair at the hospital entrance and threatened that no one was allowed to approach the area, or he would kill the spy who was impersonating Jiraiya.
Then the news spread.
The news spread like wildfire, and caregivers, nurses, attending physicians, and even any patient who could get out of bed all rushed down to watch the spectacle.
They didn't care whether it was an imposter or not; all they knew was that the famous Konoha Legendary Sannin, Lord Jiraiya, was covered in injuries!
"Making a big fuss? Not at all." As the one who started all this, Uchiha Ike slowly shook his head and said, "I still don't believe you are Jiraiya-sama."
Seeing the boy's earnest face, Jiraiya said, his face pale, "I understand what you're saying, but..."
'
"Could you come back after I've stopped bleeding?"
Uchiha Ike raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiraiya's wound. "Didn't you already stop the bleeding?"
Jiraiya glanced down at his wound, which was covered in bandages:
'
""
Then he remembered that Uchiha Ike had asked the nurse to throw him a hemostatic bandage from a distance, and then she gave him a simple bandage.
To be honest, the technique looked pretty good; at least the bleeding did stop.
But this is only an external injury; his internal injuries cannot be treated with bandages!
Thinking of this, Jiraiya's bloodless lips trembled slightly: "Let me tell you some more about Tsunade, but first let me go get medical help..."
""
However-
Uchiha Ike simply shook his head again: "I'm not interested in hearing this."
Jiraiya's eyes widened instantly: "You..."

"I just thought about it," Uchiha Ike patiently explained, "I actually have no way of confirming whether what you said is true or not, unless Tsunade-sensei admits it herself."
"Therefore, I will not allow you to contact anyone before Tsunade-sensei arrives here, to prevent you from leaking information about Konoha."
"I will not overlook any possibility of causing harm to the village."
'
Uchiha Ike lowered his eyelids slightly and quietly watched the ant colony working hard to transport food beside the flower bed stone.
They were gathered together, holding up a cookie that some patient had dropped on the ground, preparing to carry it back to their nest.
Uchiha Ike gently picked up the cookie with a few ants stuck to it.
The once orderly ant colony suddenly exploded.
He then placed the biscuits on the other side.
There was another nest of ants there, searching for food.
Thus began a fierce battle between the two ant colonies for food.
Uchiha Ike slowly stood up, facing Jiraiya with a complex expression, and also facing the bustling crowd watching them.
"This is my Will of Fire."
