The words are divided into two ends, just as Jiraiya unexpectedly reunites with Tsunade, and unanimously "abandons" Mute, hooks his shoulders and goes to the tavern to drink [About] Wine [Meeting], leaving Mute to wait for Tsunade in place. Talking and laughing along the way, Naruto and Yakushi Nonoyu, who seemed quite calm and unhurried, finally stepped into this inconspicuous small village in a long time.

Of course, if it is said to be a village, it should be like the Konoha Ninja Village, which also calls itself a village. The size of the village where Jiraiya and Tsunade are located, if placed in modern times, can be more or less equivalent to a small county town. It's just that compared to Nonoyu and Naruto, who are used to living in a big "village" with a developed economy like Konoha Ninja Village, it will seem much backward and narrow.

"That...... Naruto? ”

After following Naruto's footsteps and stepping into the village. Ye Naiyu's eyes looked left and right, and while constantly trying to find the traces of the pharmacist, as if he was worried, his brows remained furrowed from beginning to end, revealing a look of worry and anxiety. After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively stretched out his hand, patting Naruto's shoulder as he whistled with his head in his hands beside him. While asking in a small whisper in front of Naruto's subconscious turn of his head and the puzzled gaze projected by him.

"Are you sure...... Jiraiya, is he really in this village? ”

Obviously, after putting aside his identity as the leader of the root organization and treating Naruto as a pure child. When Nonoyu talked to Naruto, he was no longer as cautious as he had been at the beginning...... In other words, the current tension is not because Nonoyu is afraid that he will say something wrong, causing him to accidentally anger the new leader of the Root Organization in front of him. Rather, according to the plan that Naruto bluntly told her, whether or not she can find Jiraiya will be a crucial step in whether she can successfully find Yakushidou.

But in Nonoyu's opinion...... Who is Zilai? One of the legendary Konoha Three Ninjas! Not to mention how strong the strength is, this resounding name that is enough to be admired by tens of thousands of people alone has created an illusion for Ye Naiyu - it is absolutely impossible to attract the attention of Jiraiya in such a small backward village, and then it is impossible to find Jiraiya's whereabouts in such a small place.

And if she can't find Jiraiya here, it will be equivalent to telling Ye Naiyu in disguise that she will not be able to find her beloved adopted son in this small village...... For Ye Naiyu, who has been separated from the pharmacist for many years, and doesn't even know what the pharmacist is growing up like now. Now, I suddenly heard from Naruto that not only did Danzang regularly give him photos of the "Yakushi Dou", but it was purely a fake conspiracy to make the poor mother and son turn against each other. Naruto even patted his small chest to ensure that he would be able to let Nonoyu personally find the situation of the Yakushi's pocket. I am afraid that even if I delay my actions even a little longer, it will affect the possibility of the pharmacist going home. Naturally, Ye Naiyu, who made Sizi's heart deep, felt the indescribable torment and torture in the passage of time every minute and every second.

"Well, well, take it easy, Aunt Nonoyu, I know what you're worried about...... Rest assured, I assure you, lustful...... Ahem, Grandpa Jiraiya must be in this village now. ”

And this, for Naruto, who is good at observing people's hearts, has obviously been aware of it for a long time. and secretly sighed that the bond between the mother and son, who are not related by blood, is as unbreakable as described in the original book. And based on this, Naruto became more and more convinced that with the help of Nonoyu, the success rate of taking the medicine master pocket in advance would definitely rise by several levels. In order to appease Ye Naiyu's emotions, he didn't sell anything to others too much. So much so that after smiling and shrugging his shoulders, he responded out loud without hesitation.

"After all, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not...... I'm also the new head of the Root Organization, and with the help of the Root Organization's intelligence network, it's not a trivial matter to track down the whereabouts of Grandpa Jiraiya? ”

Between the words, Naruto attributed his ability to accurately obtain information about Jiraiya's whereabouts to the Root Organization's intelligence network. In addition to this statement, it is easier to gain the trust of Ye Naiyu, who was originally from the root organization, in order to be able to hide the secret of his mastery of the Flying Thunder God in front of Ye Naiyu.

It's not that Naruto doesn't trust Nonoyu - in fact, when Naruto appeared in front of Nonoyu, choosing to use the true face of "Naruto Uzumaki" instead of the more fraudulent "Ha Feng Face Ma" is enough to prove how much Naruto trusts Nonoyu - but before his own strength is fully grown, in order to avoid people talking too much and causing leaks, he invited Uzumaki Nagato in advance, and even forced Uchiha to come to the door and kill himself in the danger of being in a juvenile state with his own hands. No matter how much he trusts the other party, Naruto will only selectively reveal some information that the other party can know, and keep most of the secrets that should be kept at the moment.

What's more, in Naruto's opinion, the more he knew, the greater the risks that would follow...... In other words, in a sense, being able to keep one's own secrets from being revealed is also protecting one's companions in disguise.

Because of this, this practice is not deliberately aimed at Ye Naiyu alone - you know, even today. In the Konoha Ninja Village, except for Uchiha Itachi, who learned all of Naruto's memories because Naruto took the initiative to let go of his psychic defenses. Only Jiraiya, who witnessed Naruto's performance of the Flying Thunder God technique, was sealed in Naruto's body, and shared all the secrets with Naruto, knew the secret that Naruto had and hidden.

[In addition to these few people, in fact, in a sense, Senai Biki should be added...... It's just that Ibiki was rescued by Naruto's shadow clone "Bo Feng Shuimen", and witnessed the combined attack of the Flying Thunder God and Spiral Pill. But in his eyes, it was Bo Feng Shuimen himself who saved him, and he didn't make any associations and guesses about Naruto's body at all. Even the fact that Ibiki met the "Four Generations Hokage" who "came back from the dead" was deliberately asked by Naruto to be sealed, making Ibiki mistakenly think that "Bo Feng Shuimen" was on some confidential mission, and never revealed it to others. 】

And the most powerful proof of this is the ironclad proof - even the three generations of Hokage, who likes to look around with a crystal ball and unconditionally trust each other when he gets along with Naruto. As for the many secrets hidden in Naruto's body, he is only in a state of speculation. So much so that I didn't expect that the Flying Thunder God technique, which was supposed to be completely lost with the departure of the four generations of Hokage and his wife, had actually been mastered by Naruto thoroughly!

"Huh? Intelligence Network of the Root Organization...... That's right! How did I forget about this stubble......"

After seeing Naruto's bright smile full of confidence that has never wavered all the way. made Ye Naiyu's mixed heart begin to calm down inexplicably. Take a few deep breaths while the iron is hot to further stabilize your mood. The corners of his mouth gradually rose, and he returned a gentle smile to Naruto.

"Well, I'll leave you ahead with the lead, Naruto."

Although Naruto's posture in front of Nonoyu is just a little guy who has not dried up. But somehow...... In front of Naruto's smile, Nonoyu always had an inexplicable intuition. I believe that in this operation, I can rely on the little guy in front of me as a reliable and solid backbone. So much so that quietly, while Nonoyu pinned all his hopes for finding his adopted son on Naruto. Even with the gaze that looked at Naruto, he gradually began to face it in the true sense.

"Hehe, wrap it around me, you can rest assured!"

Seeing that his mood gradually stabilized, Naruto also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. And then while grinning and playing, he promised people a big grin, and secretly distracted himself from two purposes. On the one hand, with the sensing guidance of the Flying Thunder God's Technique Teleportation Mark applied to Jiraiya when eradicating Danzo, he was able to distinguish and judge the exact location of Jiraiya. While holding his arms and squinting slightly, he pretended to be a speculative appearance of hard thinking and meditation.

"Well, let me think about where he would be now, with Grandpa Jiraiya's hobbies and habits......"

"...... Jiraiya?"

And at this time, what Naruto didn't expect was ...... His casual words unexpectedly attracted the attention of two beautiful women who happened to pass by. And after the two of them were slightly stunned, they turned around in unison and asked Naruto in surprise.

"Little one, what you're looking for...... But one of the three ninjas of Konoha is Jiraiya-sama? Is he in this village too?! ”

"Huh? You are ......"

Subconsciously surprised and asked rhetorically, Naruto looked left and right while following the sound, frowning slightly, trying to identify the identities of the two from the appearance and clothing of the comer.

One of them, because of his overly familiar dress and appearance, made Naruto easily recognize his identity - it was because Tsunade followed Jiraiya to the tavern to drink [Covenant] wine [meeting], and was "ruthlessly abandoned" by Tsunade, so that he had to carry a large tin box alone, running alone in this small village, looking for Tsunade's whereabouts silently.

On the other hand, no matter how much Naruto who followed the prestige looked at him, he was never able to find a beautiful female ninja who matched the role from his mental memory.

"Judging from her expression, it doesn't look like an enemy of a lustful fairy or something, and it doesn't look like she has any deep hatred, but it's the overly enthusiastic gaze that she showed after hearing Jiraiya's name......

However, judging from her surprise look that did not seem to be fake, and the slightest malice could not be detected on her body. Let Naruto temporarily define it as Jiraiya's old acquaintance, while looking at it strangely, he muttered to himself in his heart.

"Well, is it possible...... This is the amorous debt that the lustful fairy caused when he left the village to travel, right......? ”

"Now, little friend? Children! ”

Of course, for Shizune, who was busy looking for Tsunade's traces, it was obvious that he didn't have time to care about what Naruto was thinking at the moment. And then when Naruto's brows furrowed, trying to meditate and find out the identity of another female ninja. He stretched out his hand anxiously, gently shaking Naruto's shoulder, and asked nervously as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"You just said that Lord Jiraiya is also in this village...... Is it true?! ”

Of course, the silence that followed Tsunade to leave the Konoha Ninja Village since he was a child, the reason why he cares so much about Jiraiya's whereabouts is obviously not that he has something to do with Jiraiya...... It's just because, Mute is in the old years, and I have listened to Tsunade talk about his past experiences. And between hearsay, listen to the glorious deeds of Konoha Sannin. Even if Shizune has never met Jiraiya, he can more or less surmise how close the relationship between Tsunade and Jiraiya is.

In the face of this obvious fact, Shizune was stunned for a short time, and instantly thought of the information that Jirai was also in this village, and the reason why Tsunade disappeared. Then he was ecstatic, because he decided that he was not "abandoned" by Tsunade, and as long as he found Jiraiya, he would definitely be able to find Tsunade. And in this life, which is full of ups and downs, it seems too excited and surprised.

"Huh? Yes...... Be...... yes, what's wrong? ”

When we met for the first time, I was asked again and again so "enthusiastically". Rao was a little startled with Naruto's concentration. Then subconsciously nodded slightly, while involuntarily giving an affirmative answer, while muttering to himself in disbelief.

"Wait a minute, mute will be here, that is...... Grandma Tsunade, she's also in this village now?! Hiss...... It's not that coincidental......"

Of course, it's hard to believe it, but for the time of departure, in addition to planning to bring back the pharmacist's pocket in advance. He had already made up his mind to let Jiraiya fulfill the FLAG he had set up himself, and join forces with Tsunade to completely get rid of the single...... This unexpected piece of information turned out to be good news that Naruto couldn't ask for.

"Mute, who was originally inseparable from Tsunade, is now not with Tsunade...... Well, if you think about it this way, the reason why this rare scene occurs is indeed very likely to be related to the lustful fairy...... So, why did Shizune rush to ask about the whereabouts of the lecherous fairy, and I would probably know the reason. ”

His mind turned sharply, and after keenly capturing the key words from the abrupt and hasty words of the person in front of him, and quickly sorting them out, Naruto's frowning brows began to ease slightly. Immediately distracted from two uses, while answering questions that must be answered, obediently answering muted questions that were obviously out of proportion. While tilting her head slightly, she looked at the other strange female ninja who was also surprised, but did not have the slightest anxious and nervous look.

"Take the others to find a fairy or something...... It's okay to mute, it's all your own people anyway...... If you think about it like this, the only problem left is her......"

"This female ninja...... Who the hell is it? ”
