Under the scorching sun, on the dusty path, two figures, one high and one low, slowly moved forward, and it was Katsuragi and Jiraiya who set off to find Tsunade.

"Let's go to the village in front of us in a while, and rest before we go!"

Jiraiya looked at Katsuragi, who kept summoning snowballs to cool down in his hand, and said, in the hot summer, although because of the Snow Girl's ability, the two of them would not suffer from heat stroke when they were traveling under the scorching sun, but in order not to let Katsuragi consume too much, he still decided to wait for this hottest time before continuing to hurry.

"Okay." Katsuragi responded, although the condensing snowball was hardly a drain for him who already had a six-star Kaguya, but it was really uncomfortable to travel in this environment.

The Land of Fire is one of the five major countries in the ninja world, and Konoha is the ninja village of the Land of Fire, so there are many small villages around Konoha that seek refuge.

In a shop, Jiraiya and Katsuragi asked for two cups of herbal tea and sat in the store to rest, because Katsuragi didn't wear a forehead guard, so he couldn't see the appearance of a ninja, so no one paid attention to them when they came and went.

"Jiraiya-sama, where are we going to find Tsunade-sama?" Katsuragi took a sip of green tea, felt the bitterness in his mouth, and asked Jiraiya.

"I don't know, but let's see, her other nickname is very famous." Jiraiya shook his head, he only knew about Tsunade's whereabouts, and there was no way to prepare for it.

"The legendary big fat sheep!?" Katsura asked with a smile, for Tsunade's luck, Katsuragi felt that it was almost a kind of blood inheritance limit, or prophecy, throughout the plot, Tsunade was fine as long as he gambled on bad luck, and the better the luck, the worse things happened.

"Hey, where did you hear that?" Jiraiya is very curious, and there may be many people who know that Tsunade is a good gambler, but there are not many people who know that Tsunade is the legendary big fat sheep, after all, Tsunade will also pay attention to hiding his identity.

"Isn't doing some research before a mission a must-have for ninjas!" Katsuragi shrugged, he wasn't joking, although he already knew Tsunade well through the original book, he still did a lot of research in him.

"Haha." Jiraiya laughed twice and didn't say anything, and then said: "That's right, Tsunade likes to gamble, and her luck is very bad, so as long as anyone who gambles with her can make money, and later she was inexplicably called the big fat sheep." ”

Katsuragi also smiled and didn't talk too much about Tsunade, then looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya-sama, why don't you want to be the Hokage?" ”

The smile on Jiraiya's face slowly retracted, then became flat, and then sighed again before saying, "Hokage, I'm not suitable for this position. ”

"Not suitable!?"

"Hmm." Jiraiya looked into the distance and said softly: "I've been wandering for a long time, and I can't even find my best friend, what qualifications do I have to sit in the Hokage's seat." ”

"These are two different things." Katsuragi looked at Jiraiya helplessly, and asked with some hesitation: "Jiraiya-sama, what should we do if the two of us can't persuade Tsunade-sama to return?" ”

"Eh, how could it be, I will definitely be able to persuade it back." Although the words were very imposing, his face was a little weak, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, Tsunade suffered more and more cruelly in Konoha than he and Orochimaru.

Katsuragi obviously also saw Jiraiya's weakness, and asked urgently: "There must be an emergency plan, what if, what if Tsunade-sama doesn't come back anyway?" ”

Jiraiya began to be silent, and he couldn't answer Katsuraki's question.

"Tsunade-sama, does she have any weaknesses?"

"What are you asking for?" Jiraiya frowned and looked at Katsuragi, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

"If Tsunade-sama doesn't listen to persuasion, let's tie her back." Katsuragi looked at Jiraiya as a suggestion, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, this was also a helpless move, he didn't have a mouth, and he didn't feel that he could move Tsunade, so it was better to consider force.

"Tie it back!?"

Jiraiya was stunned, he obviously never considered this method, and then his expression was a little hesitant, Tsunade and he and Orochimaru are called three ninjas, and the difference in strength is actually not too big, if you add a Katsuragi who can defeat Orochimaru, the possibility of success in this kind of thing is still very great.

It's just that he asked Jiraiya to shoot at his original teammates, and he was still Tsunade, he was obviously very unwilling, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't refuse, and replied: "Let's talk about it then, okay, let's get ready to go, I have to rush to the next village before dark, or I will sleep in the wilderness." ”

"Oh." Katsuragi didn't force Jiraiya anymore, in fact, he said that these things were also for himself, although the chance of Danzou being the Hokage was less than one percent, but there was still a slight chance, he didn't want to see this situation.

In fact, Katsuragi doesn't know, if he really makes Tuanzang become the Hokage, it will be more like a good thing for him, for Tuanzang, Katsuragi's biggest threat to him is the future Hokage competition, once he becomes the Hokage, maybe he will still have doubts about Katsuragi's ability, but at least there will be no more thoughts of Katsuragi to death.

After that, Katsuragi and Jirai kept wandering and searching, because there was no exact location, so the two often had to run to the village to ask for information, which also gave Katsuragi the first time to see the world of the Hokage.

Although the mission of the country of waves was also out of the village, he was urged by Dazna to hurry along the way, and he almost didn't observe it much, and the country of waves is a country that is poor and oppressed by Cardo, and it is not even as good as many villages he sees now.

Although they visited many villages, the two did not leave the Land of Fire, and although the scope of Tsunade's activities is still difficult to determine, it should be within the territory of the Land of Fire.

……

At the gate of an unknown village that looked a little prosperous, Jiraiya looked at Guimu and said, "Let's go separately and inquire, and then meet here in the afternoon." ”

"Jiraiya-sama, if you are caught by me going to the hot springs to collect materials, don't blame me for doing something inappropriate."

Katsuragi's face was a little helpless, perhaps because the three generations were not dead, and no one was injured, and Jiraiya was also looking for Tsunade far less anxious than in the original book, which is also the main reason why they have been looking for Tsunade for a long time, but they have not found it.

"Ahem, how could it be, I promise to inquire about the information first, guarantee, guarantee." Jiraiya looked embarrassed, last time he felt that the village was not big, and it was okay to ask later, so he stole according to his habit... took materials, and finally led to indulging in it, forgetting to agree on the time of convergence, and finally found by Katsunaku.

"Then I'm going over here." Katsuragi nodded when he heard this, chose a random direction, and began to prepare for the investigation, although he was not in a hurry, but Katsuragi still hoped to find Tsunade as soon as possible, and he was a little relieved by Konoha's side.

Wandering through the bustling streets, Katsuragi scanned the surrounding shops, looking for the casino, but when he saw the costumes of the two people sitting in a restaurant, his body froze instantly.

"Black Robe Red Cloud ......"

Katsuragi never thought that his first encounter with Xiao Organization would be in this kind of place, looking at the two people who seemed to be waiting for food not far away, Katsuragi frowned, although he couldn't see the front, but judging from the big knife wrapped in bandages on the back of one of them, the two should be Itachi and Oni Shark.
