Chapter 172: The Old Witch
Chapter 172: The Old Witch
As far as Orochimaru said, the time to meet Tsunade was set for three days later, and during this time, Tsunade was given the opportunity to think about it, and it also bought time for Tsunade.
According to Aoku's original plan, the best way to kill Tsunade and Jiraiya is to cooperate with Orochimaru to defeat the two groups one by one, but at this time, Orochimaru has been added to the assassination list, and he needs to consider more.
How to achieve a certain balance in the strength of the two sides, and the winner will have to lose miserably, so that he can let the eagle sit on the advantage of the fisherman and kill the surviving side, this is a problem he has to think about seriously.
Judging from the data, Tsunade because of "blood phobia", but he is the least obvious one in combat power, and Orochimaru obviously understands the fatal flaw of the other party, and when it comes to real fighting, Tsunade may not have a forbearance, but on the side of Orochimaru, his own hands were tragically sealed, and his physical functions were all injured by Yan zhòng, and his personal strength is not one in ten. Definitely no less than Konoha Village's upper ninja.
"The combined strength of the two of Orochimaru and Yakushidou is estimated to require two Shinobi from Konoha Village, or even more people to be able to compete." He frowned and thought, as a middle ninja, but he wanted to wipe out the three ninjas in the world, as long as there was a slight mistake, he would be worried about death.
According to the original plan of the Eagle, it will definitely not work to let the Orochimaru break each one, and although Shizune, Kato, who has been by Tsunade's side, is also a shinobi in terms of information, but the Eagles do not have hope that they will fight against the two of Orochimaru and Yakushidou alone.
The strength of Jiraiya's gang, or the strength of Jiraiya himself, is far beyond Orochimaru, as long as the Eagle does not rely on his internal identity to give the poison given to him by Yakushimaru, Orochimaru and Yakushimaru are not his opponents at all.
He unconsciously broke off a branch of a small tree, and dotted it with a branch on the sand, without making any symbols, so that Ni Duan could always be found, but with this simple mark to represent each character and help him think.
The marking point representing Tsunade was erased by the Tsunade as soon as possible, leaving Shizune to face Orochimaru and Yakushidou, which was not a good situation.
Erasing Jirai also pushed Shikamaru, Naruto, and Akido Dingji forward, and fought hard with Orochimaru and Yakushidou?
He shook his head, although he was afraid of Shikamaru who had stabbed him, he didn't think that the other party was the opponent of Yakushidou or even Orochimaru.
"What the pharmacist gave me was a chronic poison ......." His heart fluttered as he pondered the words that the Medicine Master had instructed him to give him the poison.
This medicine is a chronic nervous poison, as the pharmacist said, it is easy to exert its effect during strenuous exercise, and if it is poisoned a day or two later, it can also maintain a certain combat effectiveness when encountering the Great Snake Pill.
…………
Unexpected, reasonable.
On the second day, Shikamaru and Akido Dingji, who had been running around the city's gambling houses and entertainment venues, finally found out the news of Tsunade.
His plan was to get Jiraiya and Tsunade together, and then wait until soon before the battle with Orochimaru, poison Jiraiya, and make the two groups as equal in combat as possible.
Jiraiya, along with Shikamaru, Naruto Uzumaki, Akido Dingji, and Tsunaku, based on information from a casino boss, found a crimson-faced and somewhat drunk target at an izakaya where Tsunade often went to buy drunk in the evening.
Jiraiya, who had just lifted the curtain and entered the izakaya, immediately heard a crisp and pleasant female voice accompanied by a crackling table, clamoring to drink, listening to the voice, this person was obviously a little drunk.
Jiraiya's gaze immediately moved to the direction where the voice came, as he expected, the appearance of the voice owner was exactly the same as he remembered, not old at all, as if the years could not bear to destroy this delicate face, the golden hair hung straight down to the seemingly weak shoulders, and Tsunade, who was wearing only a sleeveless shirt, was on the table with one hand, and the other hand was constantly patting the table, and the plump chest was straight to the table, ready to come out.
There was still a drunken face, and the somewhat delicate Tsunade was still noisily asking for a drink with a helpless silent face next to her, but she never thought that an unusually familiar male voice came from behind her, which dispersed her drunkenness.
"Why are you here too," Tsunade asked with a grin, looking back at the tall man standing behind her chair, "Jiraiya?" ”
"I've been looking for you for a long time." Jiraiya greeted Shikamaru and the others, and unceremoniously made it to the opposite side of Tsunade, and when he saw this, he quickly picked up a clean cup and poured a glass of wine for Jiraiya.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Tsunade asked Jiraiya, his eyes on the few teenagers behind Jiraiya, especially Shikamaru, who stopped slightly, and asked the other party again: "What's the situation with these little ghosts?" ”
"They're the assistants the village sent to me!" After drinking all the sake in his cup, Jiraiya explained, "As for me, I was entrusted by the village to let you return to Konoha Village to inherit the fifth Hokage!" ”
The words are amazing.
Although Tsunade's face still had a hint of abnormal flush, it didn't look like he was the slightest drunk, and Jiraiya's words were too shocking, making her and Shizune, who were not prepared in the slightest, completely stunned in place.
"Teacher Ape Fei is dead...... Jiraiya lowered his head and played with his glass, and with this action, he covered his eyes with sadness, and whispered to Tsunade, "Konoha Village needs a leader now, and you are the right person." ”
“…… I refuse. After a moment of silence, Tsunade returned to his thoughts from the shock, and actually rejected Jiraiya, ignoring the shocked expressions of the other party and Shizune, Naruto Uzumaki, Choji Akido, and Tsunaku, and continued, "It's impossible for me to agree to this matter. ”
"Why?" Jilai suddenly raised his head, looked into Tsunade's eyes, and asked with a frown.
"Even Mr. Sarufei is dead." Tsunade even chuckled at the mention of his teacher's death, which made Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki, who was sitting next to him, look ugly, but Tsunade ignored the other party and continued: "My grandfather, the second Hokage, Sarutobi-sensei, and your apprentice, the fourth Hokage, ....... ”
Tsunade wrenched his fingers one by one and said to Jiraiya: "Look, none of them have a good end, and being the Hokage must have the consciousness of giving up his life." ”
Tsunade smiled defiantly at Naruto Uzumaki, who had been staring at him fiercely, and raised his slender eyebrows, "Do you think I'll be that stupid?" ”
Bang!
"What did you say!?" Suddenly there was a mid-air shout in the noisy izakaya, and the voice of the young man who was still in the stage of voice change was slightly strange, but it did not prevent anyone who heard it from feeling the anger of his master.
If Naruto Uzumaki hadn't been tightly held by Jiraiya and Akido Dingji beside him, he would have already flipped the table, and even so, he was still struggling, and he was about to pounce on Tsunade.
While holding down the struggling Naruto Uzumaki, Akido Dingji asked nervously to Tsunade, "Then can you go back to Konoha Village with us first?" ”
"Why?" Tsunade ignored Naruto Uzumaki's shouting, and after raising his head to drink the sake in the cup, he asked absently.
"My teacher, Asma Sarufei has been severely injured, and I hope you can return to Konoha Village to help heal." Shikamaru said politely to Tsunade.
Shikamaru's mind once flashed the attitude of learning from Naruto Uzumaki in the original book, attacking Tsunade with an extremely passionate stance, and then regardless of the fact that he wanted to compete with the other party.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by Shikamaru after it appeared, not to mention his long-term appearance, rashly studying Naruto Uzumaki would make several people around him suspicious, and Shikamaru himself was not sure that he would be so lucky, and with this action, Tsunade thought of his younger brother and lover, so he looked at it differently.
In fact, even if Tsunade doesn't agree to be the fifth Hokage, there is no problem, Jiraiya is still there, if Tsunade insists on refusing to be the fifth Hokage, he will definitely take over, for Shikamaru, getting along for a while, his own frame is not big, and the witty Jiraiya serves as the fifth Hokage, which is not unacceptable - although it is not better for his family and father than Tsunade to serve as Hokage.
Shikamaru's bottom line is to let Tsunade return to Konoha Village to rescue Ape Fei Asma and Li Luo, so for the sake of safety, he still has a begging attitude.
"Huh?" Tsunade seemed to have just focused on Shikamaru at this time, and after looking at him for a while, he actually stretched out his index finger and hooked Shikamaru's chin, which was tense and serious, and said slightly frivolously: "From the action when you sat down, I found that your body was abnormal, there was no footstep sound from beginning to end, it was always carried under your feet with chakra, and the dust on the ground was not stirred up by chakra, because the amount of chakra was too small." Your body, especially the leg muscles, are moving and shaking all the time, and the force of each landing is different. Are you practicing chakra control skills? What a genius but clumsy training method. ”
"It's impossible to go back to Konoha Village." Tsunade saw Shikamaru twist his head and neck unnaturally, dodged his right hand, smiled absently and said: "But you are so talented, why don't you learn medical ninjutsu with me, it is estimated that in ten or twenty years, you can also have my strength, how about you treat your teacher by yourself then?" ”
Shikamaru's face was pale, and he didn't have the slightest excitement about being accepted as a disciple by Tsunade, one of the legendary three ninjas, because the ridicule in the other party's words was overflowing, and he was simply making fun of him.
"In less than ten years, Shikamaru will be able to surpass you in five years......, you old witch!"
A slightly immature male voice suddenly said viciously to Tsunade, and as soon as the words fell, the atmosphere of the entire dining table was quiet.
It was not Naruto Uzumaki, who was struggling before, who said this, but Akido Dingji, whose face was swollen red from anger and angry!
