Early in the morning a few days later.
Two beautiful figures appeared on the road not far from Konoha Gate.
"It's been a long time since I've replied to Konoha..."
The woman walking in front is extremely beautiful and has an extremely hot figure.
She raised her bright brown eyes and through the gate of Konoha could see the iconic Hokage Rock on the continuous mountain wall of Konoha.
"It doesn't seem to be any different than before."
She looked complicated and whispered softly.
The woman looked to be in her twenties or thirties, but she was dressed in an old-fashioned way. She wore a green shirt with the word "Gamble" printed on the back over a loose lining, and was dragging a suitcase that looked very heavy.
It destroyed the peerless elegance exuded by her appearance and added a bit of market atmosphere.
But it did not affect the fact that the woman was a beautiful woman who would be unforgettable no matter who saw her.
She is the most popular among "Konoha Sannin", Princess Tsunade of Konoha.
"Lady Tsunade, will Lord Jiraiya be okay if we leave him? The medicine is quite powerful..."
Shizune, Tsunade's student and subordinate, followed quickly and asked weakly.
She was holding the pet pig Tonton in one hand and carrying a smaller suitcase in the other hand. She looked like she had not slept well and was lacking in energy.
"...Shizune, don't mention his name in front of me at this time. Don't you see that it ruins the feeling of returning home that I am immersed in?"
Tsunade looked at his Disciple expressionlessly.
"Speaking of which, did you get up early in the morning to deliver him the antidote?"
"Ahaha, no, how is that possible?"
It was obvious that Tsunade was still angry, and Shizune could only silently apologize to Jiraiya in his heart.
[Sorry Lord Jiraiya, it seems I can't help you.]
"And didn't I ask Kakashi and Asuma to stay and take care of him? The medicine is only effective for one day, which is just enough for that fool to reflect on his thoughts. Otherwise, bringing back Konoha will only be a disaster, and it will definitely only cause chaos to the village."
After Tsunade finished speaking, after thinking about his encounter with Jiraiya last night, he seemed to have lost the feeling of timidity he had just felt when he was near the countryside.
Then the two of them walked directly to the Konoha Gate entrance and said hello to the two Konoha 'door gods'.
Izumo Kamizuki, who had noticed the two of them for a long time, also had a look of surprise after seeing the person clearly:
"Are you...Lady Tsunade? Great! Lord Hokage has been waiting for you for a long time..."
"No need to be polite, I'm going to see Teacher Sarutobi first. He should be at Hokage Building now."
Although I haven't returned to the village for a long time, as the granddaughter of First Hokage Hashirama Senju, Tsunade's return to the village is no different from going home. Even if there was a slight sense of unfamiliarity just now, after entering the village, this sense of unfamiliarity disappeared.
And on their way here, in a small town.
"Lord Jiraiya, are you okay?"
Asuma and Kakashi asked, holding their noses across the hut.
"Well... we have to wait, oh, my stomach is very noisy... Tsunade guy, even if he is ruthless, he even drugged..."
"Well, you can't blame Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya, you did something wrong."
"What are you saying? Are you blaming me? I paid for it out of my own pocket to take you to such a high-end place. Do you know how much I spent on this night?"
Jiraiya's tone was very excited, but due to the pulling force, his voice was already hoarse:
"Who would have thought that just when she came out to relieve herself, she would meet Tsunade and the others? Isn't it just right? She lost everything and didn't even have a place to live. She was lucky to meet us, otherwise they would have slept outside in the forest!"
"And we originally wanted to find her, which saved us a lot of time. Now that she knows the situation in the village, she must have returned to the village to help..."
"Yes, yes, we all understand that when you and Lady Tsunade meet again after a long absence, old friends naturally want to catch up on old times..."
As the only 'mature' man among the three who has a girlfriend, Asuma sighed, "Although Lord Jiraiya you did drink a little too much last night, it's a bit outrageous for you to directly drag Lady Tsunade to drink wine."
"... You don't know her, and she didn't refuse! Moreover, I played several bets with her. She was willing to admit defeat, and she drank happily afterwards!"
"Until you call the girl over, it seems that Lady Tsunade is indeed quite happy."
Kakashi, who pinched his nose through the mask, added.
"To be precise, I don't remember calling more than once, but when I called the first one, Lady Tsunade's face seemed to darken all of a sudden. Thinking about it this way, no wonder Lady Tsunade suddenly said I would like to toast you with a drink. I guess the medicine was given at that time."
Asuma last knife path.
A certain White-Haired Sage, who also had the title of Konoha Sannin, not only had a turbulent stomach, but also had a bruised nose and swollen face.
"Then she went crazy and destroyed the whole store? She ran very fast. I got beaten and had to help her pay for the damage to the store..."
Squatting on the pit, listening to the teasing of these two people, Jiraiya was furious. "Ganggun, anyway, your mission has been completed now, go back first, don't stay here to hinder my eyes, be careful if I drag you in together and it will be difficult to share!"
And in Hokage Building.
Third looked at the ageless Disciple, as if he had returned to the past, and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
"Teacher Sarutobi You should retire early. Looking at your face, you probably won't have a few years of leisure. You are already old. Do you want to die from exhaustion in this position Hokage?"
The first time Tsunade saw Third, he frowned and said angrily.
The tone of this speech made Shizune on the side startled when he heard it. Although he knew the identity of his own Lady Tsunade, after all, the person in front of him was Hokage from the village!
However, Third Hokage didn't show any anger. Instead, he rarely expressed joy. "You still have the same temper, Tsunade. Why, in your opinion, my health is really in such bad shape?"
[You can tell at a glance without checking that it will only be a matter of time before you collapse due to fatigue.]
Tsunade thought to himself, but did not say it out loud directly. Instead, he changed the topic. "So what do you want me to do when you come back to me?"
"Kakashi How much did they tell you?"
"I don't remember much. I was just here to beat up some idiot. All I know is that there was a big mess in the village and Anbu encountered a rather difficult situation."
"Really? Jiraiya That kid also... Then let me briefly explain the situation."
As Third stated, Tsunade's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, showing a puzzled look.
"Why, are you also worried that it will be difficult to treat them?"
Hearing Third's doubts, Tsunade glanced at his face, as if he wanted to see something. "Although I have no plans to treat others, this matter is an exception. I will go over and have a look later.
But I'm more curious, Teacher Sarutobi, what on earth are you thinking about?"
Tsunade directly exposed. "You know that there are threats from both inside and outside, but you insist on taking advantage of the plan to organize Chunin Ninja Exams? You are not afraid that the situation will exceed your expectations. Now Konoha can withstand your plan? Where does your confidence come from?"
Third is not surprised by Tsunade's question. Despite her young appearance, Disciple is actually over fifty years old, and she is a hero who participated in Konoha Fourth Shinobi World War twice.
She can naturally hear the connection between these things and find the problem.
She is by no means less sensitive to politics than anyone else. Even in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, all three of his Disciple have the ability to serve as Hokage Position, so he is not prepared to lie, but directly tells the truth to Tsunade -
"I don't know either."
