Chapter 178: Rejection (I)
"Hey, you bastard, don't go." Seeing Orochimaru leaving in the opposite direction, it was Naruto who was the first to be anxious, and he screamed while pounced on Orochimaru, trying to stop the other party from leaving.
Naruto's actions didn't work out, though.
After seeing Naruto's behavior, Jiraiya, who was standing beside him, reached out and pressed his shoulder, forcing him to stay where he was, while saying in a deep voice, "Naruto, don't go." ”
Naruto struggled unwillingly, but he didn't get rid of Jiraiya's restrictions, and at the same time, Orochimaru and Dou had disappeared without a trace.
After seeing that the other party had left, Jiraiya let go of his palm.
"Lustful fairy, what the hell are you doing? Why don't you let me stop those two nasty guys? Naruto, who had escaped the restrictions, froze for a moment when he saw the empty street in front of him, and then became angry and complained loudly at Jiraiya.
He pointed in the direction Orochimaru had left, and shouted angrily at Jiraiya, "That, the person who talked to you, it's Orochimaru, right?" It's just that he killed three generations of Hokage's grandfather, right? ”
In the previous middle ninja exam, Naruto had only seen Orochimaru in the Death Forest during the second exam, but at that time Orochimaru was still in disguised form, and later when Orochimaru killed the three generations of Hokage, he fought Temari and Kankuro far away from the examination room, so although he knew that the person who killed the three generations of Hokage was Orochimaru, that is, the strange woman he met in Death Mori, he didn't know anything about Orochimaru's true appearance.
Naruto also confirmed the identity of the other party from the conversation between Jiraiya and Orochimaru, so he was one step slower, otherwise he would probably rush forward to avenge the three generations of Hokage at the first sight of the other party.
"That's right." Jiraiya nodded.
"In that case, then why are you stopping me?" Naruto asked angrily and puzzled.
"Naruto, you're thinking too simply." Jiraiya shook his head, "You also know that Orochimaru killed three generations of Hokage, his strength is very strong, with your current strength, rushing up rashly is just looking for death, if I hadn't stopped you just now, you might have been killed by Orochimaru now?" ”
However, Naruto was not satisfied with this explanation and retorted, "My strength is not enough, so what about you?" Lustful immortal, don't you talk about how powerful you are all day long, and you are still the master of the four generations of Hokage? Why did you watch him go, don't you want to avenge Grandpa Hokage? ”
"Enough Naruto!" Jiraiya let out a loud shout, interrupting Naruto's words, he said very seriously, "Naruto, you remember, the battle between ninjas is not as simple as you think, let alone between two or three moves, even I am not 100% sure that I can defeat Orochimaru, and even if I can defeat him, there is absolutely no possibility of killing him, in this case, the battle is meaningless." ”
"Moreover, don't forget, our mission this time is to find the new Hokage, not to kill Orochimaru, if it is for personal reasons, it would be too stupid, the other party can take the initiative to retreat now, it is already a good result."
"Naruto, if you really want to avenge the three generations of Hokage so much, just cultivate hard, and when you become stronger, rely on your own strength to avenge him, instead of putting all your hopes on others."
"Good...... All right. Naruto, who had been trained to the point of blood, knew that he was at fault, so he had to nod his head stupidly.
"Tsunade, I hope you can reconsider what I said, and I'm sure you'll give me a satisfactory answer."
After reprimanding Naruto, the words that Orochimaru had left before leaving came to Jiraiya's mind.
His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, it seemed that before they came, Orochimaru had been talking to Tsunade for quite some time, so what would be the content of the conversation between them, and what was the so-called answer?
What Jiraiya is really worried about is that the content of the conversation that he doesn't know will affect his action of asking Tsunade to return to Konoha this time.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jiraiya, who had no clue, shook his head and walked towards Tsunade.
......
"Tsunade-sama, are you alright?" After Yakushidou, who was confronting her, left, Shizune didn't bother to thank Jiraiya, she hurried to Tsunade's side, looking at the distracted Tsunade in distress.
As a disciple who has followed Tsunade for more than ten years, it is not the first time she has seen the other party look like this, but it is precisely because of this that she knows best how great the stimulation of blood is to Tsunade.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, you're Broken's niece, and your name is Shizune, right?" Jiraiya, who came over, glanced at Tsunade, who was still in a state of distraction, and asked Shizune.
When Tsunade left Konoha, he had also seen Mute a few times and knew the other party's background.
Shizune, who was focusing all his energy on Tsunade, suddenly heard Jiraiya's voice, raised his head and looked at him blankly, and when he reacted, he hurriedly replied, "Yes, you're right. ”
Then, Shizune bowed deeply to Jiraiya, "I'm sorry, but I haven't thanked Jiraiya-sama for helping us drive away the enemy." ”
"It's a little thing." Jiraiya waved his hand, then glanced at Tsunade, who was still in a state of distraction, and asked her, "How is Tsunade?" ”
Shizune replied vaguely, "It's okay, Tsunade-sama, she's not injured, she's just a little stimulated, and it shouldn't take long to recover." ”
Shizune originally wanted to tell the truth directly, after all, Jiraiya is a companion of Tsunade like Orochimaru, and she should also know about hemophobia, but when she saw the three Sakura standing beside Jiraiya, she hesitated for a moment and changed her mind, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.
Jiraiya nodded, "Really?" Then I'm relieved. ”
With his experience, of course, he could see that there was a trace of hesitation in the process of muting answering, but he didn't care.
"Orochimaru, this guy, actually took advantage of Tsunade's weakness, it's too much." He looked at Tsunade, a flash of pity flashed in his eyes, he also saw the situation just now, Orochimaru's fingers were dripping with blood, combined with Tsunade's current appearance, even if Shizune didn't say it, Jiraiya had already guessed the truth of the facts.
And Sakura-chan and the three of them were also looking at Tsunade curiously at this time.
"It seems that the impact of hemophobia on Tsunade is even greater than I expected, and I actually forced her to be like this." Sakura's eyes flickered, and she thought silently.
"Tsunade is like this, I think we'd better get out of here first and find a suitable place." Jiraiya also wanted to ask Shizun about Orochimaru's previous behavior, but after hesitating for a moment, he dispelled this idea and proposed to Shizun instead.
Shizune thought for a moment and nodded, "Hmm." ”
