"Back to ...... ...... back? ”

Despite his advanced age, the three generations of Hokage can be said to be accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves. But in the hug that Tsunade took the initiative to give, the real touch and temperature stimulation that was fed back to the brain of the three generations of Hokage, it was still the third generation of Hokage, who should have been able to remain calm even if Tarzan collapsed, and inevitably fell into a stunned state.

After all, Tsunade is not only the first of the Konoha Sanninja to leave the village. Because of the problem of evading the collection of gambling debts everywhere, the degree of erratic whereabouts of Tsunade over the years is comparable to Orochimaru, who keeps secret bases everywhere! Coupled with the gradual decline of the Senju clan, and the various traumas that happened to Tsunade. So much so that even the three generations of Hokage, who are teachers, have never had the luxury of seeing the return of Tsunade in his lifetime!

It was at this time that the three generations of Hokage fully understood......

At this juncture when the Uchiha clan had just submitted a relocation proposal, why would Fugaku be reckless, and he didn't even care about etiquette and influence, as if he was going to forcibly force the palace, and broke into his Hokage's office. And what he said earlier is related to the sentence of Konoha Sannin. And what is the meaning of this uneasy premonition that inexplicably surfaces in my heart......

"Tsunade, you...... You're not ......."

In the face of this ending that he has already acquiesced to, there is a huge contrast between the front and back. Even if all the perceptions of the three generations of Hokage do tell themselves that the Tsunade in front of him is really in front of him. But under the ecstasy of this sudden loss that swept through the whole body, the three generations of Hokage still couldn't believe in their hearts that what was happening in front of him was not an overly beautiful daydream that he was doing. So that after recovering a little consciously, he opened his mouth to try to ask something, and at the same time stretched out his hand, trembling and touching Tsunade's impression of himself, still as smooth and white as a girl, as if under the baptism of these years, there has never been a change in the young and familiar face.

"It's true...... I...... Not dreaming...... Ha ha! It's good to be back, it's good to be back——! By the way, child, you haven't suffered any grievances in all your years outside the village, have you? Have you ever run into any trouble? And ......"

During this period, the movements of the old man with his body on his slumped body seemed to be so cautious, as if he was afraid of bursting the bubbles that carried the beautiful illusion. Even more trembling and reaching out his hand, after touching Tsunade's face, he couldn't help but laugh and cheer with tears in his eyes. Immediately, in the impatient shush cold and warm room, the three generations of Hokage completely lost the majesty that he should have as the head of a village.

But the people who witnessed all this did not show even the slightest look at the joke of the three generations of Hokage's gaffes. Especially Uchiha Fugaku, for this picture of the reunion of master and apprentice, he disregarded his own cold personality, as if he felt the inner thoughts of the three generations of Hokage, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

After all, how strong is this sense of joy that has been lost and regained, without any hope, and with it, the impulse to make people so happy that they want to inform the world...... As early as when Naruto followed Sasuke home and took the initiative to confess his life experience to Fugaku, Fugaku had already experienced it himself.

"Old ...... Teacher? ”

At the same time, in the face of the enthusiastic successive inquiries of the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade, who was still able to barely maintain his composure, suddenly became more and more weak and flustered.

You know, because I didn't say a word, I ran away from the village with silence. made Tsunade originally think that from the moment he reunited with the three generations of Hokage, this teacher, who seemed quite old-fashioned and serious in his impression, would reprimand his irresponsible disciple one by one. As a result, Tsunade was driven by the exclusive desire to take close care of Jiraiya, so that other women would take advantage of his absence and run to fight Jiraiya, and when he honestly followed Jiraiya back to the village, he was already silently prepared to be scolded...... But I never thought about it, let alone reprimand. For himself, according to the village rules, leaving the village without permission is enough to be regarded as an unfilial disciple who defected. The first reaction of the three generations of Hokage was to worry about whether he had suffered any grievances in the years he had left the village! Naturally, while making Tsunade speechless, he felt more and more guilty and blamed himself.

Of course, that's what the saying goes...... But in Tsunade's inner thoughts at the moment, even if out of guilt and self-blame, Tsunade can't help but think cranky, and let the three generations of Hokage scold him, will his heart be more comfortable than now. But it is still difficult to suppress the warmth that emerges from the bottom of my heart from the inside out. is wrapped in this warm feeling of familiarity and nostalgia, and the corners of the mouth, which were originally pretending to be serious, inadvertently, quietly and slowly rise.

"This long-winded personality is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed at all, teacher......"

And at this moment, compared to the dry and unconfident verbal response, Tsunade naturally understands that the response in action is easier to comfort the thin old man who is crying with joy in front of him. So much so that the words that originally poured up to his lips and were intended to be used to defend himself so that he could receive a few words of reprimand were silently swallowed back into his stomach again. While teasing hard, he was duplicitous, slightly retracted his arms, and hugged in response to the long-lost and familiar warm embrace of the old man in front of him.

"Whew...... Ahem...... Hey, first Orochimaru, then Tsunade......"

On the other side, Jiraiya, who had been watching silently with anxiety, exhaled a long sigh of relief until he witnessed it with his own eyes, and the three generations of Hokage accepted Tsunade's return without any guilt. Then he inadvertently turned his head a little, and with the corner of his eye, he saw Naruto standing beside him, who was looking at him with a thief snickering, and couldn't help but blush, and pretended to complain and snorted softly.

"It's also rare to go back to the village, why haven't I been treated so well......"

"Probably because, compared to the two of them, you are more like a good baby who doesn't need to be appeased, let alone worry about 'running away from home'?"

It's a pity that in a hurry, the dissatisfied and complaining appearance that barely maintained itself still couldn't hide the relieved smile flowing in his eyes. So much so that Naruto could easily see through Jiraiya's true thoughts with just a glance at him. and then tried to hold back his laughter, pretending to be serious and teasing and joking.

"Besides, although Grandpa Jiraiya said so...... But in your heart, you're happier than anyone else to see Grandma Tsunade successfully return to the village, right? ”

"Ahh Go, go, go——! You stinky boy, what kind of good baby is not a good baby, goosebumps are going to pop out all over my body...... Don't you understand this simple truth? Is it that hard to save me some face?! ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and from Naruto's verbal response, he knew his true feelings, and after being seen through by this little guy with a big ghost, he no longer pretended to be something. He rolled his eyes at Naruto and cursed with an angry smile. On the one hand, he no longer suppressed the instinct that the corners of his mouth were raised, and showed a smile of satisfaction and satisfaction.

"But then again...... Sure enough, although the old man didn't say it, he still couldn't let go of Tsunade who was away from the village...... Thanks, stinky boy. ”

Here it was like talking to himself, whispering. Jirai also clearly understands that if Naruto hadn't intentionally or unintentionally stimulated himself and Tsunade with words, piercing the barrier between the two, the last layer of window paper that should have disappeared a long time ago...... Not to mention getting a response from the long-awaited Tsunade.,Got the beauty as he wished.。 Just persuading Tsunade to return to the village is definitely impossible for Jiraiya right now!

It is precisely because of this personal experience that he has witnessed Naruto's amazing performance in this unexpected incident after another, which is not inferior to that of adults. Jiraiya's view and positioning of Naruto has long been from the beginning when he learned that the "deceased" Mizuto couple still have blood left in the world, and subconsciously identified the identity of a fragile child who needs to be cared for and raised. And quietly there has been a qualitative change, and he has become an excellent ninja who can take charge on his own! So much so that if it weren't for Zilai, he kept reminding himself in the bottom of his heart that the little guy in front of him was the biological son of his beloved disciple? I'm afraid that most of them will be like Orochimaru's misunderstanding, and think that Naruto, who is so talented and intelligent that he can be called a demon, as an old monster who used some kind of secret method of rejuvenation to maintain this child's body.

Of course, what I don't know is ......

In a sense, his conjecture inadvertently poked at the essential reason why Naruto was able to create "miracles" repeatedly......

"Oh, what about me...... Suddenly I said thank you, don't you think you're numb......"

After seeing the undisguised absolute trust from the gaze projected by Jiraiya, the smile in Naruto's heart suddenly became more and more vigorous. Then he shivered deliberately and teased Jiraiya. Holding his head in his hands, he continued with a big grin.

"Hehe, besides, I just did what I was supposed to do...... Just like when Grandpa Jiraiya personally rushed to the root organization and tried to protect me from the hands of the group. Do we need to say thank you between our grandparents and grandchildren? ”

Between the words, it was determined that the ending of Tsunade being re-accepted by the Konoha Ninja Village was already a sure thing. Naruto, who was also worried, quietly breathed a sigh of relief through this teasing and teasing words. As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand, signaling Fuyue and Jiraiya to silence them a little, and followed him out of the office.

Obviously, just like the two of them, Tsunade and Orochimaru, when they reunite after a long farewell, they have endless reminiscences...... For the Miyome Hokage, who was immersed in the great joy of the return of his beloved disciples, the pestle was here as a source of disobedience rather than being like three telephone poles. It is better to retire first when you are sure that you are safe and worry-free, so that the master and apprentice who have been separated for many years can get along alone and have a good chat.

It was also from this moment that the return of Tsunade, a shadow-level powerhouse, was accompanied...... Since the loss of the fourth generation of Hokage wave feng shui gate, it has been in a serious lack of high-level combat power, and can only rely on the three generations of Hokage to take the lead, and finally came out of this embarrassing predicament!

And after the shortage of high-end combat power can be made up...... The grassroots combat power of the Konoha Ninja Village, because of the disappearance of a series of-stirring sticks such as the group collection, and under the full force of the three generations of Hokage without distraction, it has entered a state of rapid development that can be called back to the peak. So much so that in Naruto's opinion, the Konoha Ninja Village is once again at the top of the five ninja villages, and this prestigious name that is enough to deter the Quartet is definitely just around the corner!

Of course, although the prospect is very good, Naruto at this moment still has some troubles that he has to solve in ......

First, it was during this trip out of the village that had been confirmed, the strange energy body that had been lodged in Naruto's body and had a certain sense of self. Although it has been more or less determined, it is necessary to observe the previous period of time. But in the face of the slightest relaxation, it will escape from the layers of seals, and this energy body will be troubled. Naruto still needs to discuss with a professional how to place it so that he can be more secure. In order to avoid any irreparable accidents in the days to come.

Second, it is related to the first major event that Naruto has made since he arrived in the world of Naruto - that is, the death of the leader of the original root organization, Shimura Danzo!

Just as in this world, there is no truly airtight wall......

Even though the three generations of Hokage followed Naruto's request, for more than a year, the news that Danzou had died was blocked and covered tightly. But it will still show a little bit because of some subtle gaps that are difficult to take care of perfectly...... For example, every once in a while, Danzo will communicate with his partners on a regular basis.

Because of this, the group has remained silent and disappeared for more than a year...... Obviously, Orochimaru is definitely not the only one who can vaguely detect something wrong from it!

And this is the fatal flaw that Naruto still missed!
