Naruto's strongest wooden escape

Chapter 46 Punishment



"I actually got into a fight with the Iwa Ninja in Iwagakure Village. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Jiraiya criticized Uchiha Matsuri and the three of them mercilessly, and then sighed.

……

Three days later, Jiraiya led Team [-] back to Konoha.

The fatigue and depression of the past few days had accumulated to the extreme at the moment when they returned to the village. Uchiha Matsuri, Namikaze Minato and Inuzuka Ou all just wanted to return to the big bed at home and have a good sleep.

However, just when Jiraiya was about to say "disband" and report the mission to the Third Hokage, a ninja wearing a tanuki mask suddenly appeared in front of Team [-].

After a simple salute, the ninja in the tanuki mask said: "Jiraiya-sama, Hokage-sama wants you to go to the Hokage's office with your subordinates."

"Me and my subordinates?" Jiraiya asked.

As usual, after a team completes a task, only the leader needs to report to the Hokage's office.But this time, the Third Hokage directly sent the ANBU to inform the whole class to go to the Hokage's office. I'm afraid it was related to the Uchiha Festival and the group's riot in Iwagakure Village a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed secretly: "What should come will eventually come."

Glancing at the ANBU ninja who was waiting for a reply, Jiraiya said calmly: "Lead the way."

On the side, Uchiha Matsuri, Namikaze Minato and Inuzuka E looked at each other and said nothing.

Naruto Office.

The Third Hokage crossed his fingers and sat on a chair, looking at Jiraiya and the four of them quietly without speaking.

Seeing that the Third Hokage did not speak, although the three Uchiha Matsuri were all confused, none of them spoke.

The three of them all knew that in the world of Naruto, the phenomenon of superiority and inferiority was still very serious, and the three of them were just genin now. Unless the third generation of Hokage spoke, the three of them were not qualified to speak directly to the Hokage.

Of course, many times, in order to show his kind and people-friendly side, the Third Hokage would not mind such things.

Seeing that the Third Hokage did not speak, Jiraiya was the first to apologize: "Teacher, I..."

"Jiraiya, did you escort the caravan to its destination successfully?" the third Hokage suddenly asked with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the Third Hokage did not blame himself first, Jiraiya was a little surprised, but still replied: "Teacher, we successfully completed the task, but..."

"You four have worked hard this time. The daimyo just named you to commend you for your spirit of not fearing difficulties..." The Third Hokage interrupted Jiraiya again.

Seeing the Third Hokage and Jiraiya exchanging pleasantries, Uchiha Matsuri raised his head and glanced at the Third Hokage with kind eyes.

"As expected, he is very cunning. His words of praise and criticism are very clear. He not only expresses his dissatisfaction, but also makes the criticized party feel ashamed." Uchiha Matsuri thought to himself.

Sure enough, after a brief chat, the Third Hokage finally got to the point: "Jiraiya, half a day ago, Iwagakure Village sent two envoys, saying that your team went to Iwagakure Village to secretly investigate information. They also attacked Yanyin Village, is that true?"

Without hesitation, Jiraiya admitted with a ashamed look on his face: "Yes."

"Why are you doing this?" The Third Hokage asked in a low voice. It was obvious that the Third Hokage had already expressed his dissatisfaction and anger through his tone.

When the Third Hokage asked about the whole story of the incident, Jiraiya told the story exactly as it was without reservation.

After finishing speaking, Jiraiya did not forget to add: "This kind of thing happened because I didn't teach my subordinates well. Please punish me, teacher."

After listening to Jiraiya's statement, the Third Hokage nodded.

Of course, the Third Hokage believed everything his apprentice said.But for the aggressive Iwagakure, this explanation was too "bluffing".

Seeing that his beloved disciple Jiraiya chose to bear all the punishment himself, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction.

However, just when the Third Hokage wanted to speak, Inuzuka O, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Hokage-sama, please forgive my presumptuous remarks. This incident was all caused by me alone, so if you want to punish me, please ask Hokage-sama to punish me." Inuzuka E saw that Jiraiya had taken all the responsibility. Responsibility, he explained hurriedly.

"E, don't be rude." Jiraiya scolded in a low voice, "As the captain and the leader of the team, the captain must bear full responsibility for anything that happens to his subordinates. I know this well, and No objection."

"But……"

"Okay." The Third Hokage waved his hand, "Iwagakure originally asked for an explanation for this matter. Since you didn't do it intentionally, let me explain it to him."

"However, you have caused such a big problem and almost pushed Konoha and Iwagakure into opposing sides. Punishment is still necessary."

"I think, how about confiscating the bounty from your mission?"

Hearing that the Third Hokage had not given any serious punishment to himself or his subordinates, Jiraiya happily expressed his obedience to the order.

After looking kindly at his master and disciple Jiraiya, Uchiha Matsuri, and Namikaze Minato, the Third Hokage smiled and said: "Jiraiya, please stay for a while, and everyone else should go back and have a rest."

"Yes."

After walking out of the Hokage's office, Inuzuka couldn't help but beat his chest and complained: "The bounty of 95 taels is gone. If you say no, it will be gone."

Seeing Inuzuka's regretful expression, Uchiha Matsuri deliberately scolded: "Isn't it because of your impulsiveness? Now, we have been busy for half a month."

"Compared to other punishments, this punishment is already very good." Namikaze Minato said with a smile.

While walking and talking, the three Uchiha Matsuri suddenly noticed four familiar figures in front of the street.

"Senior Jiayan!"

The three of them ran over to say hello.

"They are the three brats from Jiraiya's class." Yoshihiko Sarutobi showed a rare smile after seeing the three Uchiha Matsuri.

Compared to the three subordinates in his own class who did not have enough tacit understanding, Sarutobi Yoshihiko admired the three little guys in Jiraiya's class more.Especially since Jiraiya's class has brought together two of the most powerful people in the same class, this is enough to make all the other leading genin, including Sarutobi Yoshihiko, jealous.

"This is the third time Yoshihiko-sensei has smiled." On the side, Yamanaka Kai curled his lips and said secretly to Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza.

In the memories of the three of them, Sarutobi Yoshihiko had a straight face all day long and almost never smiled.The few smiles he got three times were to members of other teams.

"Where is your Jiraiya-sensei?" Sarutobi Yoshihiko put away his smile and showed his normal appearance.
