In other words, whether it was the previous decision to send Naruto back to the village "ordered by the Hokage himself" or the current "one-day deadline", it was Naruto's casual fabrication...... The purpose, in addition to stimulating Jiraiya's heart, so that he can honestly return to the Konoha Ninja Village with him, is more to put some pressure on someone.

That is after being stimulated by Naruto and the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village, from beginning to end, while holding his arms in contemplation, he stood not far away and watched, focusing all his attention on Jiraiya.

As Naruto said earlier...... As a shadow-level powerhouse, Tsunade, no matter how deliberately he lowered the volume of his words, he could definitely listen to Naruto's words word for word. What's more, Naruto seems to be just pushing the boat down the river and selling Orochimaru a favor. In fact, he was afraid that Tsunade, who was a little farther away, would not be able to hear these words, and he deliberately increased the volume of his own words a little like killing two birds with one stone. So much so that even if there was a slight distance between Tsunade and Jiraiya and others, they were able to hear the "information" such as "one-day deadline" that Naruto said clearly.

Because of this, without knowing what Naruto really thinks in his heart, for Tsunade, the time he spent with Jiraiya was only this last day. Coupled with the existence and threat of the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village who is "eyeing the tiger" on the side, and through the existence of the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village, I completely woke up to the fact that Jiraiya is not really without a woman. So that there are only two paths left in front of Tsunade.

Or, continue to drag on and on and on without responding. So much so that Jiraiya, under Naruto's best efforts, gradually chose to give up Tsunade and accept the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village instead, so that Jiraiya completely got rid of the aggrieved treatment of being regarded as a "spare tire" by Tsunade.

Or, under the stimulation of this pressure, Tsunade completely awakens and comes out of the shadow of past sadness. And then before Jiraiya followed Naruto back to the village, he responded to Jiraiya's constant infatuation for so many years. In the end, they both returned to the village hand in hand, reaching the ending that the lovers finally became married.

Of course, the two choices are clear and clear at a glance...... And, the choice is on Tsunade himself, and no one can force it.

After all, at the end of the day, Naruto didn't think that Tsunade, who knew that he also loved him, could be forced to give in to the choice because of such a loss of excitement in the past few decades, as if he had been like a stone heart, and was still unmoved.

What's more, although Naruto wanted to, he could indeed use some small means, under the subtle influence, to force Tsunade to obey Jiraiya...... But Naruto, who is well versed in the truth that twisted melons are not sweet, doesn't want to see Tsunade respond to Jiraiya while still thinking about his late boyfriend. And then there was an awkward picture of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot.

In other words, after Naruto wanted to come, after experiencing a lot of hints and stimuli...... Whichever path Tsunade chooses, it's a choice she decides to make.

It is also the most real and regretless ending for this pair of happy enemies who have been entangled for most of their lives.

"It's about continuing to dwell on the tragic past that has become a foregone conclusion, and can't extricate yourself...... Or get rid of that haze and respond to the feelings of the lustful fairy......"

Thinking of this made Naruto subconsciously tilt his head slightly. And then looked at the figure of Tsunade who was getting tighter and tighter, and muttered secretly in his heart.

"Whether I need to call you Tsunade 'grandma' in the future, it's all about the outcome of this game...... I hope that this time, the golden fat sheep's physique of losing every gamble can be temporarily invalidated. ”

"Huh?! Yes...... Is there any mistake...... It's only been one day?! ”

However, before Naruto could see Tsunade make a decision, he didn't even have time to turn his head back. Naruto's thoughts were completely interrupted by a sudden scream of exclamation in his ears. And then driven by the instant curiosity, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he instinctively followed the sound and turned his head sideways, looking at the figure of Jiraiya who was holding his head in his hands and wailing.

"Shhh...... It's too fast, I've only been out for a long time, and I'm going back again......"

While muttering and complaining in his mouth, his erratic gaze was intentionally or unintentionally, sneaking in the direction where Tsunade was. Immediately after noticing Naruto's smiling gaze, as if he had done something invisible to people, he quickly retracted his gaze rather weakly, and blinked his eyes pretending to be aggrieved, and continued pitifully at Naruto.

"I say, Naruto...... That one...... Let's discuss? It's hard to get out for a trip, why don't you just play for a few more days and then go back? ”

Obviously, with Jiraiya's understanding of Naruto's character, Jiraiya noticed that there was a lot of cattiness in Naruto's serious words at the first time. So much so that the "threat" of the so-called "one-day deadline" has become a completely non-existent ornament for Jiraiya, and it is impossible to fool him!

Of course, perceiving is perceiving, but at the same time, Jiraiya can more or less understand that Naruto must have his reason for suddenly saying this. Then they looked at each other, exchanged a look, and then pretended to be a wail that they couldn't accept. Then, through more obvious hints, he discussed with Naruto, trying to stay outside the village for a while longer.

After all, nothing else...... Just the reunion of the three ninjas of Konoha is already a rare situation that has never appeared in so many years since Tsunade and Orochimaru left the village one after another. Not to mention that at the same time, you can stand together in close proximity and communicate calmly like you are now! So much so that in the eyes of Jiraiya, this inexplicable harmonious atmosphere is definitely an excellent opportunity to persuade the two best friends to return to the village!

Because of this, Jiraiya, who is unwilling to give up, naturally feels that this so-called "one-day deadline" is too short and hasty, and it will only waste this precious good time in vain. And Jiraiya, who felt itchy about persuading the two best friends to return to the village and recreating the glorious moment of the Konoha Sannin, was still unwilling to try to persuade Naruto to change his mind or come up with a compromise solution when he didn't know Naruto's true intentions.

It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear......

For what Jiraiya didn't hide in his heart, how could Naruto not be aware of it?

But just like the current Jiraiya, he didn't know that the Yahiko trio who had been adopted in Yuyin Village was now a thing or a person. As for the extremely dangerous existence of the Xiao Organization, Zilai is also ignorant of it...... So much so that it was far more difficult to persuade Orochimaru to return to the village than Jiraiya thought.

"Gee, it's a nice day...... Looks like tomorrow will be a good time to hit the road! The time of the day will definitely be no more, no less, just right~"

What's more, as early as Jiraiya, he had already estimated that this was Naruto, how exaggerated and more difficult it would be to bring the two people of Orochimaru and Tsunade back to the Konoha Ninja Village in advance and transform them into characters in the friendly camp. So much so that even Jiraiya frequently hinted in his eyes, Naruto seemed to have a collective IQ offline in an instant, not only did he not have any response, but instead he talked nonsense without nutrition, trying to change the topic.

"Shhh——! Naruto! You stinky boy......! ”

Seeing that the person in front of him was pretending to be stupid and stunned, he didn't know that Naruto did it on purpose. Then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and before the great temptation of successfully bringing the two best friends back to the village, he simply stretched out his hand and took Naruto aside with his shoulders and backs. As Orochimaru watched thoughtfully, he bent over and leaned over to Naruto's ear. And at the same time of lowering the volume of his own words, he pretended to be vicious and threatened word by word.

"You come less! What is the 'day limit' when I'm so good at fooling around? You just give me a straight word, what do you want me to do, so that you are willing to let me go back to the village later? ”

In his simple and straightforward words, Jiraiya conveyed a few pieces of information to Naruto in such an extremely obscure way.

As soon as he came, he used Jiraiya's understanding of Naruto to make Jiraiya vaguely aware of the law that when something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The reason why Naruto tried his best to prevent himself from going to Rain Hidden Village must be because there was some danger in this seemingly inconspicuous small village that even he couldn't deal with. And there was no rejection of Naruto's intention to let him return to the village.

Second, Jiraiya's obsession with persuading his two best friends to return to the village has long been deep-rooted. So much so that no matter what the cost, he would have to stay here for a few more days. In order to seize the opportunity and try hard. And no matter whether the result is successful or not, Jiraiya, who has done his best, can honestly follow Naruto and return to the Konoha Ninja Village without regrets.

"Oh oh oh, all of a sudden...... It's hard to be because after so many years, it's hard to see Tsunade Grandma once. Let Grandpa Jiraiya you can't walk anymore, and you are even more reluctant, will you be separated from Grandma Tsunade so soon? ”

A plea that borders on self-surrender...... Seeing that he has also spoken to this point. Naruto, who was silent for a short moment in order to digest and understand the meaning of Jiraiya's words, naturally couldn't hold on any longer. Then he raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, laughing slightly embarrassedly, while making a pun, teasing and teasing haha. As if remembering something, his eyes rolled slightly. And while thinking about this, he relaxed his tone and continued word by word.

"Well, since Grandpa Jiraiya said so. Then I, as a junior, of course, have to be obedient and obedient......"

"Go, go, you little stinky boy, don't joke with me here...... I...... Why do I see that Tsunade can't walk? If I can't walk, where will I be able to save you from Orochimaru?! ”

Naruto's heart-piercing words that were almost word-for-word crit made Jiraiya blush. Immediately, his neck flushed, and he was slightly unconfident, and the expression on his face was obviously relaxed a lot because of the second half of Naruto's words. Then he frowned slightly half-happily and half-worriedly, and continued cautiously tentatively.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, you're a kid...... However, all of a sudden, you must be thinking about something again, right? ”

After all, with Jiraiya's understanding of Naruto, this seemingly harmless little guy in front of him is definitely a little slippery head who can't afford to be early. So much so that Jiraiya could even think about it with his toes, although Naruto seemed to have honestly changed his original plan under Jiraiya's "plea". But behind this, there is definitely something hidden behind it!

"Wooh...... Grandpa Lai also bullies! I'm obviously thinking about you well, how can I say that I'm playing some kind of idea? ”

When his heart was seen through, Naruto, who had already practiced a superb acting skill of sending and receiving joy and anger freely in the cold eyes of the villagers of Konoha Ninja Village, did not have the slightest idea of retreating. On the contrary, under the staring gaze of Jiraiya, he deliberately pursed his mouth and pretended to be pitiful. Then he tried to hold back a smile and continued to talk with an innocent face.

"It's just that, Grandpa Jiraiya, you just said it...... As long as you can get back to the village in the evening, you're willing to do anything, right? ”

"Huh? Belch...... Pretty much...... Tsk, I know that you, a stinky boy who can't afford to make a profit, are definitely thinking about something. ”

At the same time, after staring closely, after seeing the hidden joke in the depths of Naruto's eyes, a chill suddenly surged in Jiraiya's heart. After thinking about it for a while, he decided that with outsiders such as Orochimaru and Tsunade present, Naruto, who was good at observing words and feelings, would definitely not do anything to embarrass himself too much. Coupled with the current self, it is indeed the fact that he is willing to do anything in order to grasp the opportunity to persuade the two to return to the village. After a brief moment of silence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the familiar ominous premonition that appeared only when Naruto was about to do something mischievous. While stiffening his head, he nodded slightly, and continued to respond with a little hesitation and stiffness.

"Hmm...... Well, that's exactly what I meant...... Say, what do you want me to do? ”

At the end, there was a slight pause in the words. As soon as he saw that the words fell, Naruto looked like a big fish on the hook, and the brilliance in his eyes became brighter and more excited. In order to ensure his own "safety", Zilai is even more like a request and a threat, and he added an extra sentence quite uneasily.

"Of course, that's right...... But Naruto, your request is absolutely, absolutely...... It must not be overdone!! ”
