In Orochimaru's mind, since he had already decided, sooner or later he would personally destroy the increasingly decaying and dilapidated Konoha Ninja Village...... Then, when there is an opportunity, it is imperative to eradicate the combat power of the Konoha high-level as much as possible. And the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, who has gone out at this moment, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!

After all, whether it is to carry out anti-brainwashing control on the new nine-tails pillar force who has been "tamed by Tuan Zang". Or with confidence in his own strength, he directly shot and completely killed him on the spot...... It is very likely that because of the loss of the power of the Nine-Tails pillar that is "subordinate" to Tuanzang, the combat effectiveness of the forces under the insidious villain of Tuanzang will be greatly reduced!

What's more, even if it's not for your own sake...... After determining that this nine-tailed human pillar force is the killer weapon that Tuan Zang used to deal with Jiraiya. Originally, he had made up his mind to take action to protect this big idiot in return for his foolish absolute trust, but there was also no reason to ignore it!

"It's not too early...... Solve it before that idiot finds out, and go back early. Maybe if it goes well, I'll be able to bring the kid back with me. ”

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's consciousness gradually returned from his thoughts to his body bit by bit. While sensing the resonance between himself and the special mark placed on Naruto's body, he quickly confirmed that Naruto's location was locked. While muttering softly, he didn't seem to move much, but after the next second, he disappeared in an instant. Like a poisonous snake staring at its favorite prey, it quickly approached Naruto impartially.

Obviously, there is a dilemma between taking the pharmacist pocket and helping Zilaiye...... Orochimaru almost didn't want to think about it, so he chose the latter directly.

Does this count in Orochimaru's eyes...... Children with potential can also be re-identified. But the importance of life safety is far greater than all this?

Besides......

If Naruto knew that according to the content of the "Danzo Autograph" that he had obtained from his previous search, Orochimaru had accidentally stumbled into himself and regarded himself as a strong enemy who was about to be disadvantageous to him. And after making up his mind, he exuded a cold killing intent all over his body, and quickly approached him, trying to erase his words personally...... As the mastermind behind this series of events, Naruto will probably regret the result of this oolong that can be called a stone to his own feet, and he will cry and regret all his intestines.

……

The words are divided into two ends.,Just when everyone for various reasons.,Caused by the same thing.,Converge on the tavern where Tsunade and Jiraiya are located......

As the central figure of this incident, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who can be called the hero and heroine...... What are they doing at this moment?

……

In a remote and narrow alley that is deserted, there is an old izakaya that is covered by a thick curtain, so that it becomes more and more inconspicuous.

"Haha! Come! Drink! Drink! Alas, alas! Don't cheat! Full! This must be full! ”

"If you are happy, won't you win...... Goo-goo...... Huh...... Come! Keep going! I don't believe that you can win Lao Tzu again! ”

"We haven't seen each other in a while, come on! I'm going to be a brother today, let's not get drunk! ”

"Yo! Look at the ...... that makes you proud Come on, come on! It's rare that the iron rooster has to pluck its feathers, and if it doesn't slaughter you, it's a little too much! Hahaha! ”

"Hey! Boss! I ordered the appetizers! Why hasn't it been served yet! ”

"Alas! Okay! Here it is! Don't worry! ”

However, despite the small scale of this izakaya, the exterior decoration is also quite old and dirty...... But the charming aroma of wine that can penetrate the heart from afar, and the noisy and lively sound that comes from the thick curtain from time to time. It is enough to prove how strong the strength of this house is!

After all, even if it's a sparsely populated area, it's quite remote and unobtrusive. But the business of this izakaya not only did not show the slightest sign of being deserted and idle for this reason. On the contrary, in this daytime, which should be working hours, in the lively state of crowds, the listener can easily make up a harmonious picture of prosperous business in his mind...... And to do all this under such harsh conditions. It would not have been possible without a tempting wine and a delicious appetizer.

And Jiraiya and Tsunade, who both left before, are also part of this noisy environment.

No, no, in this small izakaya, Jiraiya and Tsunade are sitting in a slightly inconspicuous corner, drinking face-to-face.

"Goo-goo...... Hmm——! Wine! ”

Squinting his eyes, he raised his head and swallowed it in a big gulp, and the clear liquor in his hand that was originally full of wine, and estimated that there were at least four taels of wine bowl, and it fell rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. So that it didn't take long for it to completely bottom out. And then after the wine worm in the abdomen was slightly satisfied, the pores of the whole body were opened, and the whole person was in an indescribable comfort and pleasure. While bowing his head slightly, he stared straight at the proud spring light exposed on Tsunade's chest. While I don't know if it's because of the alcohol.,Or other reasons.,At the same time, Jiraiya's face turned slightly red.,Teasing and asking about Tsunade who was also gulping down in front of him.。

"Hey...... uh——! Not...... Hehe, how's it going, Tsunade, I didn't lie to you, did I? The wine here, not to mention looking at the whole village, is definitely among the best in comparison with the taverns in several villages within a radius of several villages~Ah! By the way, you don't know what's going on in the village lately, do you? Now, I'll tell you......"

Of course, that's not to say that Jiraiya exposed his whereabouts while peeping at the women's bathhouse, and after the incident that happened to be bumped into by Tsunade, he can continue to fight Tsunade without changing his mind...... Rather, it is because, in addition to the objective factors of wine to strengthen people's courage. What's more, I have never felt so hopeful about the future as I have ever felt at this moment.

You know, after experiencing two best friends who left the village one after another. His most important disciple, Bo Feng Shuimen, died in the Hokage, a high-risk profession in the Naruto world. Jiraiya, who seems to be very uninhibited, can be said to be in a dark period of extreme chaos and despair.

And all this has been effectively curbed in just over a year, and even a 180-degree reversal!

Not only did they learn from the teacher's mouth that the Watergate couple, who were supposed to be all dead in the family, but also left a son, giving Jiraiya the possibility of redemption and making up for past regrets. is even more under the personal witness, witnessing the strength and potential of his apprentice's orphan, how amazing it is - not to mention anything else, just at a young age, being able to command the power of the nine-tailed demon fox like an arm effortlessly, in Zilai's opinion, it is enough to be worthy of the name of a genius among geniuses! Not to mention that in the unexpected situation of Tuanzang, Tuanzang, a cancer that had been hidden in the Konoha Ninja Village for many years, was actually killed on the spot by Naruto, who he had been trying to win over and bewitch! It really made Jiraiya, who has always been unpleasant to the eyes of Tuan Zang, feel unprecedented comfort and happiness!

And after getting acquainted with Naruto thoroughly, Jiraiya realized that participating in and exterminating Danzo with his own hands was not the limit of what this little guy could give him......

In the process of special training tailored to Naruto due to his own guilt and compensation psychology. Naruto's excellent potential has repeatedly refreshed Jiraiya's three views and cognitions!

In addition to the extermination of the root organization, because of the trust in Jiraiya, in front of Jiraiya, the two additional hole cards of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Sealing Technique were displayed with confidence. Let Jiraiya always be able to see from Naruto the familiar nostalgic figure of the overlapping of the wave wind water gate and the whirlpool Kushina......

After just one year of special training, Naruto has made great progress not only in terms of strength. Even under the personal witness of Jiraiya, even without the help of Miaomu Mountain's special toad oil, Naruto still grasped the special ninjutsu unique to Miaomu Mountain to infinitely close to proficiency and perfection! In addition to secretly marveling, he always wondered from time to time in his heart - for so many years, would he have always misunderstood and lost his eyes when he identified the true candidate for the prophetic son in the mouth of the toad immortal?

Driven by this thought, Jiraiya seemed to leave the village in a gloomy way in order to escape Haikou, who had boasted in front of Naruto more than a year ago that he would marry Tsunade to him...... In fact, in his mind, the figures of the three children he had taken care of in Yuyin Village suddenly appeared—or, to be precise, the kind and gentle little guy of the Vortex Clan—after that. Jiraiya, who was becoming more and more confused about the identification of the child of prophecy, finally made up his mind when he confirmed that Naruto already had the ability to take charge of himself. I want to go to Yuyin Village and walk in person again in order to verify the authenticity of the conjecture in my heart!

It is precisely because of this that it is as if it is no coincidence that there is no book.,Accidentally met Tsunade who hadn't been seen for many years.。 And logically, Tsunade was asked to be alone in an izakaya. While making Jiraiya secretly feel pleasantly surprised and happy in his heart, he is also more and more sure - Naruto, who can bring so much good luck to himself after getting acquainted, is definitely the true child of prophecy! And then under the baptism of this succession of good news, his thoughts became a little fluttery, and he suddenly planned to use the audacity effect of this slightly drunken spirit to share the exuberant joy in his heart that was becoming more and more difficult to suppress and control with the woman in front of him who had been quietly loved by him for many years! So much so that in every move, they have become a little too careless and unscrupulous. In the face of this ecstasy, the originally planned plan to leave for Yuyin Village was temporarily forgotten.

"The village? Hey, most of the time, it's some kind of oolong joke made by those old immortal guys fighting for power, right......"

It's a pity that Tsunade doesn't know anything about the changes and surprises that he has experienced since he came to Japan for more than a year. After a little look at Jiraiya, he was already used to it, and he didn't show any disgust and disgust for Jiraiya's squinting gaze. On the one hand, according to his old image perception of Jiraiya, he decided that Jiraiya was probably making a big fuss again, or bragging about not making drafts. So much so that Rao is self-reliant babble endlessly, Tsunade was still under the urging and torture of the hungry and thirsty wine worm in his belly, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared directly at the wine bowl in his hand. As a result, he did not pay attention to the astonishing inside story of what Jiraiya said with the strength of wine. On the one hand, like a heroic man, he raised his head and gulped down the wine in the bowl.

"That kind of, I didn't care about it decades ago...... Goo-goo...... Huha——! Well! It tastes pretty good......"

Because of this, what Tsunade didn't know was ...... Because she subconsciously didn't pay attention to her actions, she missed the opportunity to learn more about Naruto's true side as the future five generations of Hokage. And then after taking over in the future, when facing the many "kind suggestions" of Naruto, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, Tsunade, who is not yet clear about the sinister hearts of people, can be said to interpret it with actions - what is it called being sold by others, and still obediently helping people count money......

Of course, Mo said that it was Jiraiya, and even Naruto himself didn't know about it......

As the saying goes, there are pros and cons...... Although in a sense, Naruto's series of choices in order to change the fate of his partners did bring a certain amount of "good luck" to Jiraiya......

But Naruto's own exaggerated strength increase speed brought about a butterfly effect. But in a sense, it unintentionally accelerates the arrival of the fate of Jiraiya's death......

After all, Jiraiya in the original book didn't leave the village without any worries after confirming that Naruto could take charge alone. And in the absence of any intelligence references, nor in the absence of any reinforcements to support them. Come back to Yuyin Village, and fight the six paths of Payne alone with the power of one person?

In other words, if it weren't for Tsunade's unexpected appearance, he would have reunited with Jiraiya in this small village. Under the subtle influence of this surprise, Jiraiya temporarily forgot the original plan, thus indirectly saving Jiraiya's life. And Naruto himself, because he was worried about Jiraiya's lifelong events, so that after temporarily alleviating the dilemma faced by the little tanuki Iara. If you don't stop and immediately rush in the direction where Jiraiya is...... Well, with Naruto's current strength, by the time he discovers Jiraiya's true purpose, I'm afraid there will be no way to stop Jiraiya from embarking on the old path he once did, right?

However, if you think about it so carefully......

Although Naruto has done a lot of moves that have affected the changes in the world line during this time......

But in the dark, it was as if there was a pair of invisible hands helping Naruto clean up the mess. As a result, Naruto encountered a lot of unexpected events along the way, such as Orochimaru's early invasion that should not have happened, and the kidnapping of Hinata again in Cloud Hidden Village. But from beginning to end, there has never been any irreparable disaster!

This is the illusory fate that has a certain ability to repair itself......

Or is it ......

Behind this seemingly unrelated chain of events...... In fact, there is a mastermind behind the scenes, who is far higher than Naruto?
