Really, Jiraiya also has a feeling for Tsunade in his heart, this feeling was hazy when he was young, and although it faded due to Tsunade's separation from Konoha, this feeling is indeed real, and it is absolutely impossible for him to forget.

Seeing that Sasuke finally let go of Tsunade, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the backs of the two, his expression was complicated for a while.

In the atmosphere of rushing, time passed.

Unlike when they came, the group traveled quickly, and when night fell, they rushed to the outskirts of Konoha Village.

The sky is dark, and the patrol troops on the periphery of Konoha Village dare not be sloppy at all, and they are closely guarded around Konoha Village, since they were attacked by Orochimaru, the Konoha guards have strengthened a lot, so it seems that there is a little bit of a cup bow snake shadow.

The patrolling ninja stood on top of the high wall, monitoring everything on the perimeter, and suddenly, several black figures appeared at the Konoha gate.

"Stop!" the Konoha patrol stood on top of the high wall, guarding the few people who suddenly appeared.

The searchlight came down, the dazzling light drove away the darkness, and the appearance of several people was exposed to everyone's sight, three men and two women, it was Jilai Ye and his party.

Blinded by the strong light, Jiraiya covered his eyes and said, "I'm Jiraiya, hurry up and open the door!"

Jiraiya?!

The patrol team saw Jiraiya's appearance clearly, and immediately shouted to the guards in the city: "It's really Jiraiya-sama, he's back!

After a while, there was a sound of turning, and the gate of Konoha Village opened, and the patrol team welcomed a few people in.

The team leader stood respectfully in front of Jiraiya, bowed his head and said, "Jiraiya-sama, Haru-sama has asked me to wait for you here for a long time. ”

Jiraiya nodded and asked, "Has there been any recent changes in Konoha?"

"My lord, everything is normal these days. The team leader replied respectfully, and then looked at the few people behind Jiraiya, Sasuke and Naruto he knew, but Tsunade and Shizune had never met. Although I know that Jiraiya will not bring any people who are bad to Konoha into the village, but now that it is in a sensitive period, it is better to ask, "Jiraiya-sama, I don't know who those two are?"

Now, it was inconvenient for Jiraiya to say that Tsunade was the matter of the fifth generation Hokage, so he casually perfunctory: "Oh, they are Konoha guests, don't ask so much." ”

The team leader was also interested, and knew that this was something he shouldn't ask, so he pretended to be dumb and immediately took Jiraiya and his party into Konoha.

As night fell, the lights of Konoha Village lit up the darkness of the night.

Tsunade followed behind a few people, looking at the night scene of Konoha Village all the way, and a sense of human rights suddenly appeared in his heart, and he really looked like a rotten Ke person in the countryside. The current Konoha is very different from what I remembered, and although there are still outlines, a strong sense of strangeness still rises from the bottom of my heart.

Is this Konoha Village, a place I want to protect in the future?

The night of Konoha is very noisy, and the commercial street is full of people, and a few people are slowly moving along the flow of people.

The huge Hokage Rock appears in front of Tsunade's eyes, illuminated by the lights of the night scene, making it look particularly mysterious under the dark night sky.

Looking at the first generation of rock carvings on the Hokage Rock, the memories of the past came like a spring, as if yesterday, she took the hand of the first generation, walked on Konoha Street, snuggled in the arms of the first generation, and felt her grandfather's favor for herself, at that time, she was really carefree.

It's just that things have long been different......

A flash of loss flashed in his eyes, and Tsunade silently followed the group.

When they arrived at the Hokage Building, they walked straight into the building, and after informing the relevant personnel, a squire ninja took them to an office.

Knocking on the door, a somewhat old female voice came, "Come in......

The voice was a little tired, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

A few people slowly entered the house, the faint fluorescent lamp dispelled the darkness in the room, and a spirited septuagenarian woman appeared in front of several people, it was Xiaochun.

Nodding to Jiraiya, who came in first, and seeing Tsunade coming in, Koharu immediately got up, came to her, and said, "Finally back, Tsunade, Konoha has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Tsunade's expression was a little abrupt, she had been taken care of by Koharu before, and after not seeing her for many years, Koharu became even older.

"Lord Chun, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been all these years?"

Listening to the familiar voice, Koharu grabbed Tsunade's hand with some excitement and said, "It's good to come back, what's good about my old bones, how many years, I'm looking forward to you coming back to Konoha, and now, it's finally back, good, good, okay, cough cough ......."

He spoke a little hurriedly, and finally couldn't help coughing.

Tsunade immediately patted Koharu's back, soothed her breathing, and said worriedly, "Haru-sama, what's wrong?

"It's okay, I'm like this when I'm old, I may have been overworked in the past two days, and I just felt cold. ”

After a pleasant exchange, Koharu beckoned Jiraiya and a few people to sit down and asked about what happened on the road.

Hearing that Orochimaru asked Tsunade to treat his injuries, Koharu said with some indignation: "Konoha really raised a vicious wolf, regardless of Konoha's kindness, he killed his own teacher, such a wolf ambition, everyone will be punished!"

Jiraiya's voice was a little low, "I obviously had a chance to kill him, but unfortunately I let him escape in the end." ”

"Escaped, what's going on?" Koharu couldn't help but ask.

"I let him go, and if Harun-sama wants to punish him, it will be on my head. ”

Tsunade's voice was faint, and he had no regrets about what he had done.

Seeing Tsunade's performance, Koharu was stunned, sighed slightly, knowing that there was another hidden meaning in this matter, she didn't ask anymore, there are some things, just open one eye and close one eye and let it pass, saying it is just to increase the entanglement.

Koharu then said, "Tsunade, I came back to you this time for the sake of the five generations of Hokage, I don't know what you think about it?"

A divine light flashed in his eyes, and Tsunade said slowly, "I am willing to be the fifth generation Hokage and contribute my strength to Konoha." ”

Hearing Tsunade say this, Koharu breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most worried about was that because of the previous events, it was very likely that Tsunade would not be the fifth generation Hokage. Tsunade's decisive answer made her feel very reassured, and in this way, Konoha Village had no worries.

In fact, during the period when Jiraiya was looking for Tsunade, Tuanzang had been secretly haunting Konoha in an attempt to plunder the Hokage's power, however, under the joint opposition of Koharu and Menyan, Tuanzang still gave up this thought, he also knew that he had no popular support, and it was impossible to control Konoha in a short period of time, so it was better to wait and see what happened and wait for the opportunity to usurp the Hokage's position.
