Seeing that Tsunade had followed as well, Ronglin quickly left the camp, not forgetting to joke, "You came out too—don't tell me you're thinking the same way Jiraiya is?"
Jiraiya had gone off in search of Orochimaru and still had not returned to the village. Who knew which corner of the world that guy had run off to?
Orochimaru had always been free and unfettered. It would be difficult for Jiraiya to find him, let alone ask questions that would leave one distraught. Orochimaru simply would not give him such an opportunity.
"I'm not that childish. It's just that the uneasy premonition in my heart is growing stronger. I want to know what exactly is going to happen."
Tsunade shot Ronglin a glare. He really had to bring up the one subject nobody wanted to mention. There was no need to explain the relationship among the Sannin. Even Jiraiya, who had always been competing with Orochimaru, could leave everything behind to search for him. Tsunade, who had always been relatively neutral, was even less likely to remain unmoved.
Fortunately, Tsunade would not be like Jiraiya and throw everything aside to run off. On the contrary, she found Jiraiya's actions somewhat childish and irresponsible.
Unfortunately, Tsunade would never know that if not for Ronglin, her ultimate fate would have been the same as Jiraiya's—leaving Konoha and wandering everywhere, gambling wherever she went. Countless people would have made a fortune off her, further cementing her reputation as the gambling world's biggest cash cow. She would even have racked up innumerable debts across the world.
Even after becoming the Fifth Hokage, there would still have been people chasing her down to Konoha to collect their debts.
"Maybe you're just imagining it?"
Ronglin ran ahead and looked back as he answered.
"Probably not."
