Below the Hokage, Tsunade stopped talking. Not far away, the white-haired man who had always had an unruly look appeared, and his arrogant expression in the past was now subdued.

I never expected Tsunade to come back so quickly.

This is the advantage of the development of transportation, especially the specially made ninja car, like Sakura, is not afraid of overturning, and the speed is directly increased to the fastest, with a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

Even in the abnormal ninja world, the birds in the sky are very few who can have this speed. That is, the people who sit in the car are all masters, so they dare to let Sakura, the new underage female driver, drive.

And Jiraiya didn't expect the seventh class to get Tsunade back so quickly, so after coming here, he was silent for a while.

After a long time, Jiraiya said, "Tsunade, it's been a long time." ”

After Jiraiya spoke, it seemed that the conversation box had just opened up a little, and the atmosphere that had been a little cold returned.

Tsunade bowed his head slightly, looked at the Hokage robe on Jiraiya's back, and said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't believe it when Sakura said it, but I didn't expect you to take over as Hokage." ”

"Teacher Ape Fei also died in office, are you planning to learn from him and die for Konoha with all his might?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said with a little emotion: "Originally, the fifth Hokage was going to ask you to be the one. It was only for the sake of these little guys that I chose the position of Hokage. Since you're willing to come back, you still love this village! ”

Tsunade smiled before saying, "I'm not as conscious as you, it's just that there are some positions in the village, and the salary is relatively high." It's not much, it's only five million taels a month! ”

Hearing this, Zilai's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

In comparison, in the position of the Hokage, how many months does it take to catch up with it if you rely solely on dead wages? For a while, I felt that I needed to retake my math.

"Tsunade-senpai, presumably you haven't seen Jiraiya's seniors for many years, so you should be reminiscing about the past." Sakura spoke at this point and said goodbye to Tsunade, "The research site is ready, and we can start tomorrow." If you want to pay the honorarium, someone will pay it today. ”

Sasuke and Naruto also said goodbye to Tsunade, and then left with Sakura, without disturbing the two old friends to catch up.

By Tsunade's side, Shizune, who had been taking care of her, stood quietly aside at this time, her face flushed with a little blush.

Five million taels, all of which are one sixth of Asma!

With so much money, it should be enough to withstand Tsunade's gambling money for a month, right?

And in the bright sunshine, although the breeze is gentle, I feel that my throat is a little dry. Although he relied on his previous manuscript fees, he was somewhat rich.

But in comparison, what is Tsunade, that is, teaching medical ninjutsu every month, which is the salary of an S-level task?

If a ninja does a mission, even if Naruto's special circumstances are excluded, it is very dangerous. Even if it is an opponent of the same strength, one of them started earlier and knew more, and the other was about the same strength, and he might have to die.

And seeing that Jiraiya was silent, Tsunade smiled: "It seems that you are quite idle as a Hokage, and you still have time to come out." ”

Hearing this, Jilai also smiled bitterly: "You don't know how busy I have been lately, but when you go back to the village today, you can also find a place." There is a bookstore in Konoha that is quite quiet, so you can go there and sit. ”

"Bookstore, yes." Tsunade thought of something, but nodded slightly.

Soon, a few people crossed several thriving streets and entered a quiet bookstore.

After choosing a window position, a few people slowly started talking, and the topic was related to the seventh class.

"During this time, the words of Naruto and Sakura made me wake up." Jiraiya said with some emotion, "In order to help them, I took the position of this Hokage." ”

"In the past, Konoha Hidden Village was restricted because of lack of money. And now that Konoha is starting to develop and slowly starting to have money, there is no need to do those dangerous tasks, and the source of the war will naturally disappear. ”

Remembering that he is currently understanding similar words, he slowly narrates them.

The ninja's mission, D-rank is okay, it's the job of a nanny. From the C-level onwards, it was the task of mercenaries, agents, and even the armies of the daimyos.

It's either assassination or intelligence spying, it's all about creating pain and contradictions, and then there are people who wonder why war exists.

And now Jiraiya feels that he should understand that if he wants peace, he will make the ninja village rich, and he will no longer have to listen to the words of the daimyo and no longer have to do those tasks.

"Is that so? Looks like you know quite a bit," Tsunade said, asking, "What about the other ninja villages?" ”

Asking the same words over and over again is also to know what he has learned.

Not out of Tsunade's expectations, Jiraiya said: "This is a difficult situation, but as long as our Konoha Hidden Village is strong and other villages have scruples, we shouldn't dare to participate in the war!" As we develop, we can contribute money to support other villages, so that other villages can also develop. ”

"That's not bad." Tsunade nodded, not continuing on the subject.

Although the contact was later than Jilai, Tsunade's understanding was much deeper, and he knew the inevitability of war.

In the original trajectory of fate, Tsunade told Jiraiya that the Hokage's position was nothing, of course, because of sadness, but also because she saw through some facts.

Ninjas, a mercenary-like way of survival, are a profession that sells their lives after all.

So Tsunade gambles like crazy and never cares about winning or losing, just because in her opinion, life is much more important than money.

It's a pity that Tsunade doesn't have a protagonist's life, and he can't achieve the achievement of saving the world in his teens, and it is difficult to implement a medical ninja system, so he has no choice but to gamble to kill his worries.

And now, due to the change in Konoha policy, Tsunade can also see that the progress of this era is bound to damage the interests of the old forces.

When ninjas no longer serve the daimyo and are used as tools of the daimyos, it means that the landscape will change.

Those daimyo naturally refused to die obediently, and other ninja villages were limited by the daimyos, as long as the daimyo declared war and the funds were in place, they would definitely pounce on them like vicious dogs.

As for Konoha eating meat, letting them drink soup or something, it will only stimulate their greed.

Skipping the topic, Tsunade began to ask if there were any new changes in this Konoha Hidden Village, and then heard Jiraiya talk about his new work.

"This is a big step forward in my literary career, and my level has improved a lot." Jiraiya said triumphantly, "As long as I have time to finish it, maybe I can leave my own mark in the history of literature." ”

Although, he doesn't even have time to write a book now.

But when Jilai also began to talk about his works, how he had accumulated a lot of reading experience, and sharpened it out under painstaking solitude, a young man with a watermelon head walked in gently.

After searching for a while, he came to the front of Tsunade: "You are Tsunade-sama, this is the task to be given to you." ”

After handing over the passbook, the watermelon-headed boy walked out and went outside the bookstore to regain his vitality: "Another order is completed, burn youth!" Strive to be the fastest in the same village and continue to take on tasks. Come on!! ”

In the village, there are not many vehicles at the moment, so the manpower express delivery is quite good.

The tasks of the lower ninja are still their own specialties and are invested in different tasks. Like Xiao Li, who can neither build roads nor afforestation, can only send couriers.

And in the bookstore, after Tsunade took the passbook, he still had the knowledge of the password he had learned, and quickly unraveled the code words on it: "Five million, well, it's not bad." ”

"It seems that except for Sakura's two hours of study every day, you can actually choose whether to participate in work or not."

Listening to Tsunade's words, Mute could only hope that Konoha Hidden Village had not developed a gambling house now.

And Zilai also extinguished the idea of showing off his works, and sighed: "I still have a lot of government affairs to do, so I left first." In addition, the tomb of Mr. Sarufei is over there, so you can visit it when you have time. ”

And Tsunade waved his hand and said, "Then you go first!" Let's go, mute, let's go shopping in the shopping street. ”

"Okay, Tsunade-sama." Mute replied obediently.

······

Compared to the ever-changing Konoha Hidden Village during this time, Sakura's house, in that exquisite courtyard, seems to have stopped the years.

Leisurely, slowly, and warmly.

After a high-level mission, Sakura said goodbye to her companions and walked briskly home, through the home with many scientific ninja equipment, to the quiet backyard.

Then he lay quietly on the rocking chair, his long silky hair swept by the breeze, and he was very relaxed.

"Today's comics don't seem to have been drawn yet."

Looking at the high and pure sky, Sakura muttered to herself, but she didn't mean to write.

"Forget it, I have a task today, and it hasn't been delivered yet, so let's lie down!"

After happily deciding like this, Sakura put aside the manga matter for the time being, stretched out her hand, and a stream of water appeared in the sky above, allowing Sakura's mind to transform into various different forms.

Sakura: It's not for fun, it's about improving her control.

When she was six or seven years old, Sakura actually felt that her strength was a little small, and in this dangerous ninja world, she didn't seem to have a lot of security.

However, as she grew older, Sakura felt as if this ninja world was not very safe in front of her.

It was also to avoid sinking the continent because she couldn't control her power, so Sakura worked hard to improve her control every day.

The water was transformed into the shape of a crystal palace, and then with a movement of his mind, the water condensed into ice.

Looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction, Sakura couldn't help but be moved as she thought back to the junior high school where she had improved her control.

Sure enough, it was her!

······

The next day, it was also the second day after Tsunade returned to the village.

Sakura rarely walked out of the house without a task, because it was within the time when he said that he would learn medical ninjutsu from Tsunade.

She is still quite interested in this, and even painted "One Punch: Doctor" for this purpose to express her interest in medical ninjutsu.

Although, after learning medical ninjutsu, you may not need to save people. However, as long as the level is high enough, even if it is to help parents regulate their bodies, it may have the effect of prolonging life.

Before going to find Tsunade, Sakura recalled the content of Ninji's request two days ago, and then came out in a shadow clone, ready to go and see the situation.

In a newly built training ground, Ning Ji was practicing seriously, and at the same time, his brows were furrowed, and he understood the new ideas provided by Sakura in the past few days.

As a genius who can reverse the return to the sky, Ning Ci's talent in martial arts is undoubted, but after feeling it in the past two days, he still feels that he has a lot of incomprehension.

Suddenly, he stopped deducing and opened his eyes: "Sakura-chan." ”

This time, it was a clone with cherry blossom-colored hair, which landed lightly on the training ground, and smiled at Ning Ci and signaled: "How, these two days of practice." ”

"I feel like I've got some new understanding," Ning nodded, "In the past, I was a little too focused on the use of jutsu boxing. However, judging from the strength of the Hyuga family, it is difficult to achieve the same strength as Hokage-sama just by practicing the superficial soft fist. ”

"In the past, I couldn't understand the true meaning of jutsuquan, just from the difference between attack and gang boxing, I thought that attacking from the inside belonged to internal boxing. However, I am now beginning to realize that these distinctions are actually wrong. ”

"No matter what aspect it hurts, it's actually a use of skill, and it can't distinguish between inside and outside. The real difference between rigid boxing and soft boxing should be the difference in mood. ”

"Since Gangquan is already an indomitable and consistent will, then relatively speaking, the artistic conception of soft boxing should be a natural teacher, and the state of mind that is as good as water."

Listening to Ning Ci's perception, Sakura couldn't help but nod, this son is really a talent that can be created, and his talent in martial arts is indeed extremely high.

If the state of mind is not bound, over time, it may not be impossible to reach the level of non-argumentation.

It's just that he looked at Ning Cizeng's brows before, and it seemed that there was still something incomprehensible, so Sakura asked, "So now, are you stuck in which step?" ”

"Yes, according to some of the theories you provided, 'goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting', let me understand that in the next stage, I should understand the mystery of water." Ning Ci bowed his head lightly and said his current distress, "But it is too difficult to understand the mystery of penetrating water, and my talent in retreat is not high." ”

"In the past two days, although I often go to observe the dynamics of water, and even, in order to understand the artistic conception of water, I go to watch the dew in the early morning, but I still can't get a glimpse of that realm."

Listening to Ning Ji's distress, Sakura thought for two seconds, revealing a clear expression.

Then, she said to Ning Ci: "Since you have already realized the artistic conception, you should also know how important it is to enter the house in this regard, and how important it is to be in the mood requirements. ”

"After your description, I think there should be no problem in operation, if you can't feel it, maybe you still have a knot in your heart. I still have doubts about the meaning of my existence and whether I can break the shackles of fate, am I right? ”

Hearing this, Ning Ci was silent for a while, but still nodded.

Seeing this, Sakura smiled kindly: "If you know the problem, it will be solved, according to the exercises you want to practice now and your current situation, just solve it in a targeted manner." ”

"Since you have a knot in your heart and want to untie it, you need to free your mind, and you can't form a shackle on your mind and continue to bind yourself."
