In the next few days, Jiraiya tried to convince Tsunade in various ways. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tsunade, on the other hand, perfectly interprets what it means to be oily and saltless.

Zilaiya's invitation, she accepted it all.

Anyway, she wasn't the one who paid for the drink.

Facing Jiraiya with the attitude of reuniting old friends.,And turned a deaf ear to Jiraiya's repeated persuasion.。

All the efforts that have been put into Zilai seem to be in vain.

However, who can be ruthless if people are not plants and trees?

Konoha left Tsunade with too many sad memories, so she was reluctant to return to Konoha for fear of returning to her hometown, and touching the scene and evoking a sad past.

Women are always very sensual.

In the past few days of drinking and chatting with Jiraiya, the two inevitably talked about the past again, thinking of the gentle and reliable lover Kato Tsuru, the always energetic younger brother Rope Tree, and the eventful years when the three ninja teams fought side by side with the three generations of Hokage.

Those warm pasts, the more memories I recall, the more sad Tsunade becomes.

The grief of the death of Rope Tree and Broken One after another crushed Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, and she chose to escape, staying away from Konoha and not going back.

So Jiraiya proposed that she go back to take over the dying three generations of the Hokage and become the fifth generation Hokage, but Tsunade categorically refused.

Hokage?

It's just a joke.

Tsunade has seen too many people, his grandfather and second grandfather, as well as the amazing and brilliant Ha Feng Shuimon, after becoming the Hokage, he sacrificed himself to protect the village when his ambition was not rewarded.

Her lovely younger brother Rope Tree, as well as her favorite lover, Broken, have all fallen on the path of chasing the Hokage's dream.

Such an easy sacrifice of life...... It's a fool's move.

Hokage ...... It's a piece of rubbish, and only a fool would want to be it!

In front of Jiraiya and Naruto, Tsunade said this without giving any face.

Since the past week, what Jiraiya said to her has reminded her of too many past events that she usually dare not recall.

Tsunade is no longer willing to entangle with Jiraiya. Before leaving, she spoke her mind without reservation.

But is this really Tsunade's heart?

Hokage ......

Those were the two most important people in Tsunade's life, Rope Tree and Break, their dreams.

And how could Tsunade belittle their dreams?

She just couldn't let go of their deaths, it was the pain of her life that she couldn't bear. In order to escape this feeling, she chose to blame everything on the Hokage's position.

The two people she loves died chasing Hokage's dreams, so she resents Hokage.

That's it.

So when she saw another Naruto who tried his best to practice and struggle, and took the Hokage as his dream, the softest part of Tsunade's heart seemed to be touched.

When she saw that Naruto, who had cultivated to the point of losing his strength and fell, trembled in order to refute her, and stood up tenaciously.

"Becoming the Hokage is my dream!"

Naruto's stubborn figure saying this sentence was reflected in Tsunade's eyes.

It's full of young shadows of the person Tsunade loves.

Tsunade was stunned.

At that moment, she dispelled the idea of quietly leaving.

made a bet with Naruto.

Bet on whether Naruto, who is like a fool and has made no progress in his cultivation, can master the psychic technique within a week and summon a powerful psychic beast.

And the bet is that Tsunade returns to Konoha to protect the village, and even serves as the fifth Hokage.

As well as Tsunade's treasure, the relics of the rope tree and the broken, are entrusted with the precious jewelry that became the Hokage's dream.

Conversely, if Naruto can't do it, Tsunade takes all the money in his wallet.

Completely asymmetrical bets.

Because she doesn't want to win.

For the first time in Tsunade's life, he wished he would lose a bet.

She wanted to see a miracle happen.

Naruto, it's really too much like a dead rope tree. The same stinky fart and dared to disobey her, the same always a silly bright smile, the same dream.

Even the age is the same as when the rope tree died......

Every time he saw Naruto, Tsunade felt as if he had seen her dead brother.

Perhaps, if Naruto had succeeded, that kind of encouragement would have evoked her courage in the face of grief?

However, for a whole week, although Naruto tried his best to practice, his cultivation did not make any progress at all, could he master spiritism within a week in the gambling contract?

Tsunade knows very well in his heart that those who work hard are not necessarily rewarded, and even sometimes fall on the path to their dreams, just like the rope tree and the broken. In this bet, her chances of winning are very big.

She didn't see any chance that Naruto would learn spiritism within a week.

So if Naruto really mastered spiritism, it must be a miracle!

That must prove that the persistence and hard work of the rope tree and the broken are not meaningless!

That proves that miracles can happen.

I have no luck at all, even in the face of such a winning game, a miracle will definitely happen to prevent me from winning!

――Tsunade thought to himself.

But no.

The first day had passed, and Naruto's cultivation had still not progressed.

The next day, Naruto summoned a tadpole with legs.

On the third day, the tadpole evolved into a baby toad.

On the fourth day, the little toad. On the fifth day, tadpoles. On the sixth day, the little toad.

There is absolutely no hope of winning the bet.

Tsunade's face became more and more gloomy. What good would it do her to win the bet and take all the money in Naruto's wallet?

People who want to be Hokage are really stupid!

It's the last day, and if you win the bet, go straight away......! Do not return to Konoha.

Tsunade made up his mind.

Day 7: At noon.

Naruto, who had exhausted the chakra, still found nothing except for channeling a few small tadpoles.

"Damn!"

Naruto fell to the ground helplessly!

Is the gambling contract over?

Tsunade pursed his lips and didn't speak.

She stopped muting and was ready to turn away.

"Looks like there's no way, Naruto!" Jiraiya, who had frenzied white hair, suddenly said with a very serious attitude, "You can't learn spiritism with the usual methods, but I have another way ......"

"Really, I'm going to learn!" Naruto said expectantly!

"This method gives you a high probability of learning spiritism......"

Jiraiya paused for a moment and said coldly!

"Because this method will awaken the huge energy hidden in your body and help you learn spiritism. ”

"But if you don't learn it, you'll die because of it!

Naruto's expectant expression froze on his face.

Tsunade frowned, and stepped forward to stop Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, it's just a ninjutsu, you can't learn it, and there's no need to joke with your life, forget it!"

but was stopped by a scarred hand.

"No, I'm going to learn, Grandma Tsunade! Even if I might die, I can't run away!"

Tsunade turned around and said, Naruto looked at her solemnly and seriously.

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to return to that summer afternoon decades ago.

She convinces Rope Tree to protect herself on the battlefield and learn to run away when in danger.

"Sister, I'm a man, even if I encounter danger, I can't run away!"

At that time, the look on his face was exactly the same as that of Naruto in front of him!

And shortly after Rope Tree said this, he died on the battlefield.

Tsunade's eyes widened!

And Naruto continued-

"This ninjutsu is very important to me, I have to learn to awaken that power! So, please don't stop us, I've made up my mind!"

Yes, he must learn to master the power that sleeps in his body.

In the seventh class, Sakura has mastered so many powerful ninjutsu, and Sasuke has also opened the Sharingan and embarked on his own path, how can Naruto endure only himself standing still and looking up at the back of his teammates advancing?

How could Naruto allow Sakura and Sasuke to fight in front of a strong enemy, but he had to accept their protection?

If you want to become a Hokage, you must have enough power to protect your companions and Konoha!

And Naruto's path is to awaken the huge chakra buried in his body and gain power from the beast that inhabits his body!

Even if you accept the practice of risking your life for this, you will not hesitate!

"I'm going to die...... Naruto!"

Tsunade's face was extremely ugly.

This life-and-death choice reminded her of the death of the rope tree and the break, and she didn't want to see the boy in front of her who always had a sunny smile, whether it was a stinky fart character or a dream, and he was like a rope tree......

Naruto only responded with a big smile.

Die...... It's scary, of course.

But loneliness is a hundred times more terrible than death.

Naruto, he, had had enough of the feeling of loneliness.

Finally, I got the approval of my peers. Finally, I took the first step to become the Hokage.

And how could Naruto allow himself to stop and slide into the abyss called loneliness once again?

"Become a Hokage...... It's my dream!"

"Until I become the Hokage, I will never fall down here!"

"Let's get started, Jiraiya-sensei!"
