Katsuragi glanced at Tsunade, adhering to the principle that good men don't fight with women, and didn't say much, and it was really not good to fight in this kind of place, so he sat back silently and asked Jiraiya, "Jiraiya-sama, did you tell her about it?" ”

Jiraiya nodded helplessly, and before he could speak, Tsunade said directly to Katsuragi: "I won't go back, you hurry up and say what you want me to help you before, remember, it's a small favor, if I feel difficult, I have the right to refuse." ”

For Tsunade's reluctance to go back, Katsuragi was also expected, in the original book, Naruto took a lot of effort to make Tsunade change his mind, if Tsunade agreed, he would feel strange.

"That's not in a hurry." Regarding Tsunade's refusal, Katsuragi understood that this was to prevent him from threatening her to return to Konoha with this condition, so he immediately shook his head and looked at Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade-sama, why don't you want to go back?" ”

"If you don't want to go back, you don't want to go back, how can there be so many whys." Tsunade replied impatiently, then looked at Katsuragi and frowned and said, "I don't like to owe people, so hurry up and say what you want." ”

Katsuragi was speechless about what Tsunade said he didn't like to owe people, and if he let that group of creditors hear it, he doesn't know how he would feel.

"Tsunade-sama, why don't we make another bet, this time on strength."

Katsuragi suddenly said: "One-on-one, if I can defeat you, whether I am the Hokage or not, you follow us back to Konoha first, if I lose, not only will the little favor you owe me before be written off, but I will no longer pester you, and I will also help you pay off your gambling debts, how about it?" ”

"Huh!?"

Tsunade looked at Katsuragi in surprise, she didn't expect Katsuragi to make such a bet, although she was very confident in her strength, but thinking of the illness she still had, she finally shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't be so troublesome, you better hurry up and say your request." ”

Katsuragi was stunned, he thought Tsunade would agree, but he didn't expect to be rejected, so he really had nothing to do, and couldn't help but look at Jiraiya and ask him what to do.

Jiraiya's expression was also very helpless, and his mind unconsciously remembered the suggestion that Katsuragi had made before, and tied Tsunade back, although there was a danger of injury, but at least it was a way.

"Tsunade-sama..."

Mute was a little speechless on the side, and she chatted with Katsuragi for a while just now, and under Katsuragi's deliberate explanation, she was very worried about the current Konoha.

"Hurry up, I'll go back to sleep without saying anything." Seeing Mute's look, Tsunade urged impatiently: "And I don't want to see you two again tomorrow, so if there's anything to do, get out." ”

In the dark tavern, the atmosphere of the four of them was a little solemn, Katsuragi looked at Jiraiya, who was still silent, and finally shook his head and replied: "The only thing I need your help to do is if you go back to Konoha, since you don't plan to go back, forget it." ”

"That's right, that's what you said." Tsunade was still a little happy when he heard it, and then he also looked at Jiraiya, and said to Shizune, "Shizune, let's go!" ”

Shizune wanted to try her best to persuade her, but Tsunade didn't give her a chance at all, and walked out of the tavern directly, she looked at Katsuragi and Jiraiya who were standing in place, and still sighed and chased out.

Katsuragi came to Jiraiya, who was silent, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Jiraiya-sama, what should I do next?" Do you want to go back? ”

"Wait." Jiraiya shook his head, although he hadn't spoken just now, it was obviously not his character to give up like this, looked at the place where Tsunade and Shizune left, and said, "Let's go, follow first, and see where they live." ”

"Okay."

"Guest, your account hasn't been settled yet!"

Just as they were about to leave, the waiter on the side rushed to them and said with a flattering smile: "The guest who left just now said that he would settle the account on you." ”

“……”

I didn't expect Tsunade to pit him in the end, so he looked at the waiter with a smile on his face and asked, "How much?" ”

The waiter reported a number, which made Jiraiya's hand, who was taking out his wallet, pause, then looked at Katsurai, pulled Katsura and carried it over the waiter, and asked in a low voice, "Katsuragi, how much money do you have on you?" ”

"Uh..."Looking at Jiraiya's appearance, Katsuragi knew that his money was not enough, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then took out some money from his wallet again with some distress, counting the amount that Tsunade hadn't paid back before, his expenses today were indeed a bit much.

"Thank you." Zilai didn't say anything else, so he took it directly, and if Guimu couldn't come up with the money again, he would have to think about how to slip away.

After paying the bill, the two hurriedly caught up with Tsunade and Shizune, and the two didn't wander around anymore, because of the Katsuragi money, the two directly found a hotel, and after noting the location, Katsuragi and Jiraiya also transferred their luggage to this store.

In the room, Katsuragi and Jiraiya sat face to face, staring at each other with big eyes, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.

After a while, Katsuragi finally couldn't stand it anymore, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at Jiraiya and asked helplessly, "Jiraiya-sama, what are you calling me for?" Practice staring? ”

"Katsuragi, what do you think we should do to persuade Tsunade to go back?"

Jiraiya rubbed his eyes in the same way, and then scratched his pure white hair, looking very headache, completely forgetting that he still looked confident when Katsuragi asked him before.

"How do I know!" Katsuragi spread his hands, looking helpless, and then he thought about it, and said inquiringly: "Jiraiya-sama left the village for the reason of prophecy, and Orochimaru defected, so why did Tsunade-sama leave Konoha and even hate the village a little?" ”

"Alas!" Hearing Katsuragi's words, Jiraiya sighed and was silent for a while before explaining: "Tsunade used to have a younger brother named Rope Tree, and at that time Konoha was not as stable as it is now, when there were constant wars, and even children had to go to war. ”

"Rope tree is Tsunade's closest existence, and she has always been very opposed to Rope Tree going to the battlefield, but Rope Tree's dream is to become the Hokage."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya suddenly thought of Naruto, he found out how familiar Rope Tree and the current Naruto were, cheerful personality, both dream of the Hokage, and often talk about this dream, at this time he suddenly regretted it, if he really brought Naruto, maybe he could better persuade Tsunade.

"Jiraiya-sama!"

Looking at the suddenly silent Jiraiya, Katsura Mu shook his hand in front of his eyes suspiciously, although he actually knew all this, but he had to find a reason, otherwise, these secret news were not accessible to ordinary people.

"Oh, it's fine." Jiraiya came back to his senses, and then continued: "So Rope Tree went to the battlefield despite Tsunade's opposition, but in the end he never came back..."

Katsuragi showed a look of silent mourning, and then pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Tsunade-sama doesn't want to go back because Konoha didn't protect her brother well?" ”

"It's not just this..."Jiraiya shook his head, remembering the man who had been by Tsunade's side before, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and said, "Later, Tsunade met her lover, named Kato Tsunade. ”

"He is also a man who regards the Hokage as a dream, but he also died on the battlefield in the end, and the two people who are most important to her died because of the Hokage's dream, so she tried her best to resist the position of the Hokage!"

"I see." Katsura nodded, then looked at Jiraiya, whose face was a little heavy because of what he said, and suggested: "Lord Jiraiya, I still think that if it really doesn't work, let's tie her back!" ”
