They were extremely shocked that Jiraiya could master an S-rank Lightning Style ninjutsu at such a young age.
Now Jiraiya says that this terrifying Lightning Style ninjutsu was developed by him.
This was something they had not expected at all.
Mastering and research and development are two completely different concepts, and there is a world of difference between them.
As long as you know the training method and have a little talent, you can still master the ninjutsu that others have already developed through hard work and practice.
However, it is very difficult to develop ninjutsu on your own.
You have to know that S-level ninjutsu is quite rare in the entire ninja world.
Even the S-level ninjutsu developed by their previous clan leader were extremely limited.
The most important thing is that Jiraiya is still young.
If we can develop an S-level ninjutsu now, we will definitely become more powerful in the future.
"The young are truly formidable. I never thought that a dying person like us could witness the rise of a genius."
After a long while, the great elder sighed and said.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Jiraiya will definitely become the pillar of Konoha Village in the future and hold most of the power in Konoha.
Jiraiya is exactly the ninja that the Senju clan most wants to win over.
As long as they invest in Jiraiya now, when Jiraiya grows up in the future, he will naturally be able to help the Senju clan get out of trouble.
Of course, the premise is that Jiraiya cannot be affected by the Third Hokage's Will of Fire.
If Jiraiya firmly believes in the will of the Third Hokage, then when they grow up, the Senju clan will also be unable to get out of the predicament.
"Jiraiya, do you know why our Senju clan has declined to this day?"
The second elder of the Senju clan asked.
"That's because too many members of the Senju clan died in battle to protect the village, which led to its decline."
Jiraiya replied.
"You're right, but not quite right.
We, the Senju clan, did sacrifice many of our members to protect the village from the war, but we can still bear those sacrifices.
The reason why we declined so quickly is that we were suppressed by the village and the resources we could obtain were getting fewer and fewer."
The second elder said with a stern expression.
They now have less and less access to things that can help them practice ninja skills.
Even the quality of women that the ninjas in their family were able to marry was declining.
Under the deliberate manipulation of the village, only the daughters of commoners are willing to marry into the Senju clan.
Women with a little background are unwilling to marry into the Senju clan.
This caused the bloodline of their Senju clan to become weaker and weaker.
As they said this, anger appeared on the faces of the three elders of the Senju clan.
The Senju clan has done so much for Konoha, but now they are being treated like this by Konoha.
If their clan wasn't so weak, they would really want to betray Konoha now.
Of course, with their clan's current strength, escaping from Konoha is just something they can only think about.
If they dare to show any sign of betraying Konoha.
The Senju clan would definitely be exterminated the next day.
Because their Senju clan possesses too many secret scrolls of ninjutsu.
There is absolutely no way that the Konoha high-ranking officials would allow these secret ninjutsu scrolls to be circulated.
Because once these secret scrolls of ninjutsu are spread out and obtained by other ninja villages, their strength will be greatly enhanced, which is extremely unfavorable to Konoha.
"If you really want to be with Tsunade, you have to be tied to our Senju clan. Then when you grow up, you must help our Senju clan grow and develop again."
"When there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Senju clan and the village, I hope you can stand on the side of the Senju clan."
The Great Elder said as he looked at Jiraiya deeply.
"If you can't do this, there's no way I'll allow you to be with Tsunade."
"The Senju clan and Konoha do not have any deep hatred. The main conflict in the Senju village now is that some people in the village are afraid that the Senju clan will become stronger again and affect the stability of the village. I think their worry is completely unnecessary."
"If I can become a high-ranking official in Konoha in the future, even if I am the Hokage's apprentice now, I will never inherit his will."
Jiraiya answered without even thinking.
The reason why the Senju and Uchiha clans disappeared in Konoha was because they possessed terrifying power.
The Konoha high-ranking officials were afraid that if the Senju and Uchiha clans got out of control, they would bring disaster to the village.
They were unable to completely control the Senju and Uchiha clans, so they could only wipe them out.
If he becomes a high-ranking official in Konoha in the future, he is confident that he can use his strength to subdue the Senju and Uchiha clans.
Therefore, if he comes to power in the future, he will never suppress these two families.
After all, it's not their fault that the Senju and Uchiha clans have strong bloodlines.
To destroy these two tribes is to cut off one's own left and right arms.
In the original Hokage, after Uchiha Obito controlled the Nine Tails to attack Konoha, Konoha couldn't wait to destroy the Uchiha clan.
After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Konoha, which was already weak, became even weaker.
At that time, Konoha had almost changed from the strongest ninja village to the weakest ninja village.
If he wants to dominate the ninja world, he needs the power of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.
The elders of the Senju clan were very happy with Jiraiya's answer.
I didn't expect that Jiraiya, as a direct descendant of the Hokage, actually has his own will.
Generally speaking, the Hokage's confidants have no will of their own and believe in the will of fire expressed by the Third Hokage.
"Well said, Jiraiya can only become stronger if he has his own will."
The Third Elder looked at Jiraiya with great admiration and said.
"I hope you and Tsunade get along well from now on."
The Great Elder said with a smile.
They now recognized Jiraiya in their hearts.
They believed that as long as Jiraiya grew up, he would be able to bring new life to Konoha, which was about to decay.
They had previously thought that Jiraiya had accepted the Third Hokage's will and decided to inherit it.
There is still a trace of worry in my heart.
Now the last of the worries was gone.
Jiraiya is exactly the talented ninja that their Senju clan needs.
"I'll get along well with Tsunade."
Jiraiya knew that he passed the test of the Senju clan.
The resources of the Senju clan have been opened to him.
He was now qualified to view the secret techniques of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Jiraiya is still very interested in the powerful Forbidden Techniques created by Senju Tobirama.
I just don't know how many of the Forbidden Techniques created by Senju Tobirama remain in the Senju clan.
