The person trusted by the Hokage

Jiraiya hit the water ball, and from within the water ball, Yang Xing accidentally dropped an object.

This caused the expressions of those around them to change once again.

Clang!

The Hokage's Forehead Protector is very conspicuous. As a member of Konoha, it's impossible for him not to know what this Forehead Protector is, its significance, and whether it 'Forehead Protector genuine or not.

Forehead Protector that only a true Hokage can possess.

This is the Fourth Hokage's Forehead Protector. No one in the world has spoken up about the person who snatched it from Fourth Hokage.

In this world, there is only one person to whom the Fourth Hokage could entrust this important item.

Even now, Jiraiya saying it, Tsunade understands the significance of the Fourth Hokage giving Yang Xing the Forehead Protector, and the fact that Yang Xing could never be a brat in Konoha.

"Damn, it fell off by accident." Yang Xing rushed down to pick it up after realizing his Forehead Protector had fallen off. He glanced at it and, seeing no damage, breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily it's not torn. Sigh, it's really a pain to lose this thing in a fight. If I had accidentally broken it, those old guys from Konoha might have killed me."

Tsunade: "..."

Jiraiya: "..."

"Um, shall we continue? Did I pass just now?" "Hey, Tsunade- neechan, do you think I won this bet?"

Tsunade was speechless. She was filled with shock and a hundred words, but she couldn't utter a single one.

Right now, aside from the bet, there's nothing else to discuss.

If this guy really defeats the Tsuchikage, then Jiraiya has nothing left to teach him.

Furthermore, someone entrusted with important matters by the Fourth Hokage is someone who can be easily taught by others.

Yang Xing won this bet from the very beginning.

All of this Tsunade. This guy was so strong, yet he wanted to be her younger brother. She racked her brains but couldn't understand why.

"I also feel there's no point in continuing. Hey, Gamabunta, you've worked hard, let's go back."

"You little punk, make sure you understand these things before you call me out."

"Hey, hey." "Um, Yang Xing, right? I've heard a lot of rumors about you in the Land of Fire, haha. You've done so much at such a young age. You were a great hero of the Land of Fire during the Third Shinobi World War. Of course, those old guys in Konoha wouldn't understand. Don't take that to heart."

It's obvious that Jiraiya misunderstood; Yang Xing left Konoha because he was disappointed by the Konoha.

Jiraiya was filled with admiration for such a genius.

She sensed that he had feelings for her, but Yang Xing didn't.

Who are you? I don't know you.

Jiraiya: "..."

This kid is definitely arrogant, but he has personality, which I like.

"Haha!" Jiraiya, and then laughed even harder.

Yang Xing's chrysanthemum was a little sore from laughing so hard; he seriously wondered if this guy was a pervert.

"Well, I have high hopes for you. Although I can't really teach you anything, you can always come to me, Jiraiya, if you need anything." "After all, you're still my disciple's disciple."

Yang Xing, not wanting to deal with this perverted old man, slapped Jiraiya's hand away.

"Whatever." "Tsunade- neechan, you're not going back on your word about what happened before, are you?"

"Kid, you actually lied to me."

"That's not right. I've heard that the Sannin of Konoha never go back on their word. And since Tsunade doesn't seem to care much about bets, has she been planning to run away from the moment she saw she was going to lose?"

What that brat said was really infuriating.

Unfortunately, this was indeed the truth. Even if she was deceived, the bet was still a bet. Tsunade and reluctantly released her clenched fists.

"Fine, fine, I'll let you be my younger brother." Tsunade reluctantly agreed, waving her Tsunade, and glared at Yang Xing through gritted teeth, saying, "But let me remind you, you asked for this."

Yes, that brat's going to have a hard time from now on.

Tsunade had a smug smile on her face, little did she know that Yang Xing also had a smile on his face.

Without even the slightest refusal, she replied, "Yes! Just let me know if you need anything, sister."

Looking at Yang Xing's smile, Tsunade felt complicated.

What is this brat up to? Is he really just trying to become her brother?

But, for such a clever kid, that's really the only reason.

Even Tsunade couldn't fathom Yang Xing's thoughts, but from now on, she couldn't treat Yang Xing like a brat anymore.

The fighting has ceased.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma must return to the village.

To prevent Asuma from causing trouble and turning back halfway, Jiraiya offered to take the two back to Konoha.

Now that Tsunade has agreed to Yang Xing's request to recognize her younger brother, she can't go with Jiraiya, and the two will have to part ways in this small village.

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi's reluctance to part, Yang Xing offered another word of comfort.

There were no excessive actions involved, and it was just a couple of playful sweet nothings.

While Yang Xing was comforting Kurenai Yuhi, Jiraiya approached Tsunade with a serious expression.

Seeing Jiraiya approaching, Tsunade said lazily, "Yo, be careful on the road. But what's with that expression? Do you have something to say?"

Jiraiya nodded. "Actually, there's something I really need to tell you."

"Things? What things? What things? I don't care about Konoha's affairs. Unless it concerns me, don't talk to me about anything else. I have nothing to do with Konoha."

"Of course, it's not entirely Konoha, but it does involve you." Jiraiya glanced at Yang Xing, his expression grave. "Is it about Yang Xing?"

"This brat?" Upon hearing Yang Xing, Tsunade's interest was piqued, and she unusually lowered her expression, asking, "Just who is this brat? And is it true that this brat defeated the Third Tsuchikage?"

"This is absolutely true." "Yang Xing changed many aspects of the village; in any sense, he made a great contribution to Konoha. However, because of a certain incident, he was misunderstood by the village's higher-ups, and it might be because of this that Yang Xing left the village this time."

"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."

"Don't rush, I was just about to tell you this. You'll need to keep an eye on this kid." Jiraiya said seriously to Tsunade, "I heard from Minato Namikaze that Yang Xing is indeed a genius. In just two months, he defeated the Tsuchikage, mastered and created an S-rank Ninjutsu, including a super S-rank Lightning Release that defeated the Uchiha Clan chief."

"Two months?" Tsunade's expression changed, her face full of doubt. "Is this kid really that strong? But if he's that strong, shouldn't the people of Konoha be keeping a close watch on him? Why did they let him leave the village?"
