The Root's Crimes Must Be Exposed, the Unrestrained Root!

Huh?

Jiraiya-sama had returned to the village?

Listening to Tsunade, Shizune looked somewhat stunned... with even a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She had been following Tsunade-sama these past few days, yet she had not known that Jiraiya-sama had returned to the village. How did Tsunade-sama know?

Could it be that Tsunade-sama had met Jiraiya-sama just now?

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Did you see Jiraiya-sama?"

Although Tsunade had refused to let her accompany the investigation, if Tsunade-sama formed a team with Jiraiya-sama, their safety would definitely increase. Jiraiya-sama would not let anything happen to Tsunade.

As an outsider, she knew about Jiraiya-sama's feelings for Tsunade.

Shizune had always hoped that Tsunade-sama could find someone to lean on. The people from the past were dead and could never return. One still had to look forward.

"I didn't see him. Someone told me!" Tsunade said.

Seeing Tsunade's serious expression, Shizune asked, "Then where is Jiraiya-sama now? Can we find him?"

Shizune also knew Jiraiya's personality. He was a free-spirited man who loved freedom. Even within the village, he had no fixed residence. If they wanted to find him, they might not be able to.

"It won't be hard to find him!" Tsunade shook her head.

Huh?

Shizune looked stunned and asked Tsunade, "Where is he?"

"At the Uchiha Police Force!" Tsunade gritted her teeth as she looked at Shizune's astonished eyes.

"At the Police Force? Ah~~ Why would Jiraiya-sama be at the Uchiha Police Force? Could it be... he's joined the Uchiha Clan?" Shizune stared at Tsunade in bewilderment, her voice full of shock.

Why had Jiraiya already taken the Uchiha Clan's side?

"He didn't join the Uchiha Clan. He was arrested by the Uchiha Police Force the moment he returned to Konoha!" Tsunade said through gritted teeth.
