Jiraiya is running wildly, and he feels that the world is a little crazy.
No, completely crazy!
It was going fine before dark.
He drank wine and sang songs in the detention center, listening to Uchiha tell the stories of Child of Prophecy in the past two years.
Then!
Suddenly!
Konoha was attacked!
Attacked by Child of Prophecy!
Child of Prophecy, who was supposed to protect peace, suddenly launched an attack on Konoha!
No warning, sudden attack!
I didn't bother to discuss it with anyone...
There must be some misunderstanding here.
Jiraiya is not a fool, of course he knows that this is the result of his poor information.
There won't be any sudden attacks, especially when we are facing the entire Konoha.
An attack of this scale definitely requires planning in advance.
After all, this is not a fight between children!
Wait... it seems like this is really a fight between children. Child of Prophecy seems to be a little guy?
But the entire Uchiha is obedient to his orders, and they are extremely disciplined!
The only Ninja World that can be compared with this kid is Fourth Mizukage of Hidden Mist.
At such a young age... No, they just look like children, but they are not real children!
"Okay Uchiha, why are you just following this brat and causing mischief?"
Jiraiya is very anxious and puzzled at the same time.
Could it be that Child of Prophecy's ideas are really not something that a mortal like him can understand?
"You must be really annoyed by me..."
Jiraiya was muttering and rushing, but he didn't do anything?
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Jiraiya saw a beautiful figure on the roadside.
Her blond hair is charming and her eyes are as white as snow under the moonlight.
The figure looks like, especially there...
"Tsunade!?"
Jiraiya braked suddenly, opened his eyes and saw that it was really Tsunade.
Tsunade who is drinking.
"Dun~"
Sake entered the throat, adding a blush to the already blushing face. A drop of sake slipped from the corner of the mouth, slippery, slippery, slippery...
Gudong--
Jiraiya Feeling a little thirsty.
Wrong!
Konoha is under attack, Child of Prophecy is under attack!
The situation is very urgent, Konoha needs him to save it!
"Tsunade! Why are you still drinking here!"
Jiraiya and Body Flicker Technique rushed in front of Tsunade, their eyes were a little confused, but more serious.
The village is on fire, you still have the heart to drink here!?
"Stop drinking now and follow me to find the old man. It will be over if we can't stop it later!"
Jiraiya is very worried.
But Tsunade was unmoved.
He looked at Jiraiya as if he were a fool, then continued to drink on his own.
Can't get over it?
Ha...
Where is this?
Lifting the bottle, raising his head, Tsunade was ready to take another sip.
"Wake up!!"
Jiraiya couldn't bear it anymore and snatched the wine bottle from Tsunade's hand!
"What time has it been! You are still drinking!"
Tsunade drinks.
Looking at the empty palms, he was not annoyed. He stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, turned his head and looked at Jiraiya with some mockery.
"You never come back often, why are you suddenly so anxious today?"
It's a complete sentence, no big tongue, and it seems to be sober.
That's good.
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and stared into Tsunade's eyes.
"What are you talking about? Let's go Tsunade."
"Go?" Tsunade asked with a smile, "Where to go? What to do?"
"Don't you think you are a bit redundant, Jiraiya..."
Jiraiya's expression gradually darkened.
Tsunade That's all for what I said.
If he can't detect anything anymore, he'll be really stupid...
"What do you mean, Tsunade..."
Jiraiya looked at the distance illuminated by Kakkō again. The cry of killing had become much quieter, and the two flares, one red and one green, were still burning, guarding the blazing sun in the middle.
"If you are worried about that Uchiha brat, then you are overthinking."
While Jiraiya was distracted, Tsunade snatched the wine bottle from Jiraiya's hand.
"Orochimaru is more worried about that brat than you are. He almost fell out with me before..."
"He is much more responsible than you, an outsider who just came back..."
Jiraiya's face became darker again.
So what happened tonight...Orochimaru was also involved!?
No.
Jiraiya thought of another more reasonable possibility.
With Orochimaru's character and ability, it's not just as simple as "having a share"...
Maybe everything tonight was planned by him!
But why would he do this?
He is already Hokage's special assistant and the next candidate for Hokage!
Wait...
Wait!
Jiraiya suddenly thought of something.
Not long ago, Orochimaru came to him and Tsunade to discuss... what to do?
Digging a grave?
Looking for answers?
What did he find?
"If you are worried about the village..."
Tsunade said half of it, and then took two more sips of wine.
"Hiccup--" It was a very standard wine burp, but Tsunade's eyes were not confused at all.
"Let me ask you, are you done worrying?"
"It used to be Senju, now it's Uchiha... it's just two ways, as long as the old man is still here..."
"You can't escape it."
"Can't escape..."
Don't know what came to mind.
Tsunade's eyes gradually dimmed, his amber pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and his distracted eyes fell on the wine bottle in his hand.
"Tsunade..."
Jiraiya recognizes the expression Tsunade.
After Nawaki and Kato Hundan died in battle one after another, Tsunade was shady for a while, and she had this expression every time she saw her.
Later, he developed hemophobia. When he saw blood, he immediately turned into a little girl who was so scared that she wanted to cry.
Jiraiya felt very sorry for Tsunade during that time, and tried every means to make her happy, but to no avail.
But fate continued to torture her... Overnight, after the first battle, the entire Senju disappeared.
There is only one Tsunade left in the whole family, and there are lonely graves.
That was indeed a mistake in the old man's decision-making.
This resulted in the entire Senju Clan army being annihilated.
But...
That's Senju...
Jiraiya I have doubted, been afraid, and escaped.
He also left the village and stayed there for a long time.
But there are some things that are useful if you don't just avoid them...
Nawaki is the younger brother of Tsunade.
He is also the first disciple of Orochimaru.
So everything that happened tonight...
"Orochimaru found something, right?"
Jiraiya sighed, he had basically guessed it.
And this time.
"I actually didn't find anything."
The voice of Orochimaru appeared behind Jiraiya.
Sannin, gather here.
"As I said before, all the clues were interrupted the moment they surfaced, and I had no time to explore."
"Even Danzo... hehe, he even erased that part of his memory."
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya who turned around and pointed towards the horizon.
"This is the answer itself, Jiraiya..."
Jiraiya has a heavy expression and frowns.
He hesitated for a long time and then sighed.
"Is it meaningful to pay such a high price...?"
I don't know whether I'm asking about Orochimaru or Tsunade.
Tsunade said nothing.
"Meaning..."
"At least this will help the child not feel too wronged in another world, won't it..."
Orochimaru breathed out, thinking of the child's smiling face, and of Ruohuo's usual determination.
Ruohuo That kid can't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
If it hadn't been for that child who always adhered to the concept of justice, he might not have made such a big determination when he was about to take over, right?
