Jiraiya can be said to be the one with the best temper among Sannin. His impression and prestige among Konoha people are also extremely high. Third Shinobi World War has made Jiraiya.
Ueno Kei could not evade Jiraiya. Under the pull of Jiraiya, Ueno Kei followed Jiraiya half-heartedly.
The two came to a tavern.
The owner of the tavern is a young man, and he obviously does not recognize Jiraiya. This is also normal. Jiraiya has not returned to Konoha for a long time. Five years, seven years? Or ten years?
Among Konoha, the only people who can remember Jiraiya are those from the older generation.
Of course, except for the rookie Genin, all the ninjas in Konoha must know Jiraiya. After all, Jiraiya's dress is too eye-catching.
Of course, even if the tavern owner does not know Jiraiya, Ueno Kei and Forehead Protector, as well as the two people's obvious costumes, can be seen as ninjas. For the residents living in the Ninja Village, they understand the terror of ninjas better than the average person, and the residents of the Ninja Village also know better who protects them.
Who can let them enjoy such a peaceful life.
Naturally, the boss's attitude towards Ueno Kei and Jiraiya is extremely respectful. Even though Ueno Kei looks very tender, a ninja is a ninja. The people of Konoha can still understand how important the ninjas are to Konoha.
When all the food and drinks were served, the boss bowed slightly and then left.
Jiraiya picked up the wine glass and took a sip lightly, with an intoxicated look on his face, "Ah! This is the delicacy of the world." Jiraiya said with a smile, "Come on, Qi, why don't you have a drink too?"
The corner of Ueno Kei's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Senior brother Jiraiya, I'm not an adult yet, so I can't drink!"
Although Ueno Kei is already a Jonin, no matter what, Ueno Kei is only 1 year old now. This is a restriction that cannot be circumvented no matter what. In this world, if you are under twenty years old, you are generally not allowed to drink. Of course, you can drink secretly.
"Oh, you are so boring. You are already a Jonin. You are not an adult yet. Come on, come and have a drink with me, senior brother." After hearing Ueno Kei's words, Jiraiya showed a look of disapproval on his face, and immediately instigated Ueno Kei to have a drink.
Ueno Kei shook his head helplessly, knowing that he could not get around it no matter what.
As a last resort, Ueno Kei had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, touch it lightly with Jiraiya, then raise his head and drink in one gulp. To be honest, this was Ueno Kei's first time drinking wine after coming to this world for more than ten years.
However, in his previous life, he had already tasted many fine wines, whether red wine or white wine.
It's just that in this world, there seems to be no such thing as red wine. All there is is brewed wine similar to the white wine from the previous life, and the familiar taste flows down the throat.
Ueno Kei's eyes moved slightly. Although he had drunk a lot of wine in his previous life, this was the first time he drank alcohol in this life. In addition, the actual age of this body was only thirteen years old. After a glass of wine, Ueno Kei still had an uncontrollable blush on his face.
"Haha, that's right. But, Qijun, I see you drink so naturally and cheerfully. Have you ever secretly drank some wine?" Jiraiya clapped his hands and laughed. Then, a sly smile appeared on his face and he asked with a smile.
Ueno Kei looked at Jiraiya with an old and disrespectful expression. He no longer knew what to do, so he had to pretend to be cool and turned his head to ignore Jiraiya.
After a while, Jiraiya saw Ueno Kei's indifferent expression and shrugged. As far as Jiraiya is concerned, Ueno Kei is still too boring. Well, Jiraiya is not a person who likes silence.
But because of this, Jiraiya seems to have no intention of joking anymore.
The two fell into a brief silence.
Suddenly, Jiraiya said, "Listen, old man, did you fight with that guy?" After a long silence, Jiraiya's voice suddenly sounded.
Ueno Kei raised his head slightly and stared at Jiraiya without saying anything. Jiraiya was slowly shaking the wine glass in his hand with a very calm expression. Although Ueno Kei did not say anything in response, Jiraiya did not take it seriously.
Instead, he shook his head and continued, "Honestly, Qi, you are quite talented. You have been following the old man for only a few years. It is not bad to be able to survive in that guy's hands. Haha, when I was your age, I was not as good as you."
Jiraiya said with a sigh.
"Brother Jiraiya came back this time because of Orochimaru?" Ueno Kei suddenly said, and he looked straight at Jiraiya without any intention of retreating.
"Huh? What, yes, no, right?" Jiraiya laughed.
"Brother Jiraiya! Konoha needs you! The teacher is already this age! I think the teacher should have mentioned it to you! I hope you can come back to Konoha! Be the fifth generation head!" Ueno Kei said in a deep voice, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Ueno Kei's tone was heavier than ever before.
Just as Ueno Kei said, Third Hokage also had a conversation with Ueno Kei about the successor.
At this stage, only Jiraiya and Tsunade are suitable to take over. To be honest, Hatake Kakashi is indeed a rare talent. In terms of status, as As a disciple of Fourth Hokage, he is also a suitable candidate for Hokage. In terms of strength, he is barely qualified. Ueno Kei and Kakashi have fought against each other.
I also know the strength of Kakashi relatively well, and I can say that Kakashi is a very suitable candidate, but he still lacks qualifications. After all, of Konoha, only Jiraiya and Tsunade are more suitable for this position.
Tsunade is even harder to find than Jiraiya, but Jiraiya does come back every once in a while.
Tsunade I haven't been back to the village for more than ten years.
"Haha, Qi, senior brother, I'm not suitable for Hokage, so let's forget it." Jiraiya feinted and planned to cover it up. Indeed, when he first returned to the village, Third Hokage did talk to Jiraiya about this issue again, very seriously.
I hope Jiraiya can take over the position of Fifth Hokage.
In the past few years, when Jiraiya returned to Konoha several times, Third Hokage had talked to Jiraiya many times, but was fooled by Jiraiya every time.
But this time, Third Hokage's expression was unprecedentedly solemn and solemn.
Jiraiya felt that it was not easy to fool him anymore, so he had to promise in front of Third Hokage that he would definitely bring Tsunade back. Only then did Third Hokage give up. Although Jiraiya had such a guarantee, Jiraiya still saw deep fatigue and disappointment in Third Hokage's eyes.
This makes Jiraiya feel very uncomfortable. After all, Third Hokage can be regarded as a father to Jiraiya.
Third Hokage was disappointed, and Jiraiya still felt a little guilty inside. However, there was really no need to talk about Hokage. Jiraiya didn't want to sit in that position at all.
