Chapter 446: Tsunade's Decision
In the intensive care unit, Jiraiya is trying to talk to the nurse. The prolonged coma had left his mind in a state of shutdown, and now he couldn't even speak fluently.
The best caregiver who took care of him was well aware of Jiraiya's situation, so he had a simple conversation with Jiraiya to help Jiraiya recover.
"Self-!!"
At this time, the wards were suddenly pushed open, and several people appeared in the ward. It was Tsunade who stood at the front, and Jiraiya was stunned for a while as he looked at Jiraiya who opened his eyes on the hospital bed.
"Hmm......"
Jiraiya, who had not fully recovered his language ability, looked at Tsunade and pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth, and the thousand words in his heart all melted into this smile.
"You guy!"
Suddenly, Tsunade lunged forward and threw himself into Jiraiya's arms and hugged him tightly.
"This ...... Tsunade?"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Tsunade was hugging him. This scene had appeared countless times in his dreams, but now that it had happened, it made him feel a serious sense of unreality.
After subconsciously asking, he didn't know what to say, but he heard Tsunade say in an almost murmuring tone with a crying voice.
"You idiot...... It's great to be alive......"
"Alas......"
Jiraiya sighed, not knowing what to say. No one wanted to die, but he didn't expect that it would be almost a farewell between him and Tsunade.
When it came time to say goodbye that afternoon, Jiraiya was indeed chic enough, but he didn't think about how much pressure Tsunade's heart would bear.
Rope tree, broken, self-lai, the most important people in her life are all on the journey with high morale. Rope died on the battlefield at the prime of her youth, and Tsunade died in front of Tsunade, making her a great medical ninja understand what it means to be powerless.
Fortunately, God was not so cruel after all, and did not take away the last trace of softness in Tsunade's heart, so that she could save Jiraiya through her own hands.
"I ...... I am back. ”
Jiraiya finally tore off the chic mask, mustered up the courage to take that step, wrapped his only remaining arm around the back he had just received, and whispered.
Everything seemed so natural, and the two quietly embraced each other. Qingyang, Mute and the escort were all stunned on the spot, feeling that their presence made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing. The most embarrassing thing is the escort, Jiraiya is still very weak, but he doesn't know how to interrupt Tsunade.
"Lustful fairy!ahhh!!hhhh
But fortunately, a stunned young man appeared in time to break the situation, and this person was naturally Naruto.
As a disciple, how could Jiraiya wake up and not tell him about such a big thing?Sakura immediately went to Naruto to tell him about it after informing Tsunade.
Knowing that Jiraiya woke up, Naruto immediately spread his legs and rushed here as fast as he could, and then saw the picture of Tsunade and Jiraiya hugging each other. Naruto, who saw this scene, was stunned, and at the same time, Sakura, who was following Naruto, also subconsciously covered her mouth and didn't dare to speak.
"This, this, mother-in-law...... Lustful Fairy...... You ......"
Naruto screamed, and Tsunade and Jiraiya woke up like a dream, as if there was a spring between the two, and they bounced off each other with a bang. Facing a room full of young people, these two elderly people seemed to be middle school students, speechless.
"Uh, Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama still needs to recuperate for a while, you see......"
In the end, the nurse walked up to Tsunade's side and whispered, which alleviated the embarrassment to a certain extent.
"Uh-huh. ”
Tsunade didn't know if he really heard clearly, nodded randomly, then turned around and walked out. Shizune and Sakura glanced at each other, and finally Shizune followed Tsunade out, and Sakura stayed here to accompany Naruto.
"Lustful fairy, you're awake. ”
Originally, Naruto was very excited to learn that Jiraiya had woken up, but after coming here and being shocked by the previous scene, Naruto's mood is now much calmer, looking at Jiraiya who had a broken arm, he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"Haha. ”
Jiraiya smiled hard, and when he laughed, he touched the wound on his body and made him feel very painful. However, after waking up, the repeated emotional changes made him recover faster and speak more fluently.
"I've heard, Naruto, you kid is really growing up now. ”
"Hmm. ”
Naruto nodded heavily, tears finally streaming out, crackling like beads with broken threads.
"You've grown up, you can't cry as casually as you used to. ”
Although Jiraiya said this, looking at Naruto's eyes was full of relief and pride. The boy who once seemed so unreliable is now finally reliable.
Qingyang looked at Naruto and Jiraiya, knowing that the master and apprentice had a lot to say, so he didn't bother them, so he simply whispered a few words to the nurse and left here first.
……
It was night, in the Hokage's office, Haruyo took the hospital's medical certificate and looked at it, and then he looked up and said to the mute on the other side.
"Dean Shizune, according to your conclusion, Jiraiya-sama is no longer a ninja, is there?
Shizune took two deep breaths, and then said with a solemn expression.
"Lord Qingyang, if it can be restored, even if it is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I will write it. The meridians all over the body have lost their vitality, and it is a miracle to be able to wake up......"
"I see. ”
Qingyang nodded, sighed before speaking.
"A great ninja, in the end, such an end is an incomparably great loss to our village. But it's a great thing that Lord Jiraiya can survive, and I've done my best for Konoha now, and I should rest now. ”
Halfway through speaking, Qingyang suddenly stopped and organized the language to speak.
"Tsunade-sama...... How?"
The scene that happened in the hospital room during the day was watched by everyone, and Shizune, as one of Tsunade's closest people, could almost represent Tsunade's attitude at times.
"After Tsunade-sama woke up this time, a lot of changes have taken place in his mentality. Now this situation of Jiraiya has made her have the idea of wanting to retire. ”
As soon as Mute said this, Qingyang's face changed. Tsunade has been his biggest supporter for a long time, and even during the day, Tsunade has shown his continued support for Haruyo. Now Tsunade has the idea of retiring, which is definitely not good news for Qingyang.
"How can this be, how can the dignified Sannin end like this? For the next big battle, Tsunade-sama is too important. ”
"Sunny ......"
Mute's expression suddenly became very solemn, and he used honorifics when he spoke.
"Tsunade-sama has just woken up from a near-death condition, and Jiraiya-sama's awakening can be said to be a gift from heaven to Tsunade-sama. Now, adults want to start a new life, and I'm willing to respect Tsunade-sama's choice. ”
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense, and Shikamaru and Hurricane all remained silent. Qingyang looked at Mute steadily, not expecting this to happen at all.
"Dean Shizune, I agree with you, but are you sure it's Tsunade-sama's attitude......"
As soon as Qingyang was halfway through his words, the office was suddenly pushed away. Tsunade walked in, first raising his hand to signal Mute not to speak.
"I thought about it, the pursuit of comfort at such a time is simply an escape, and if I run away now, I will never agree to it. But first of all, don't expect too much effort from me, an old woman. ”
Although Tsunade said so, it was enough to make Haruyo overjoyed.
"I know, as a manager, I'm going to do my best!"
A few days later, the news of the awakening of the fifth Hokage Tsunade gradually spread to the rest of the major ninja villages. When they learned the news that Tsunade still had shadow-level strength, all four shadows began to think about it.
After all, when the Five Shadows met before, Haruyo, who became the coach, was only the acting Hokage. Now that Tsunade has woken up, does that mean that Tsunade is going to return and replace Haruyo as the new manager, or is it going to choose a new boss?
With such a question, the Five Shadows began the second meeting of the Five Shadows Talks in the territory of the Land of Rain.
