Jiraiya and Tsunade are in a complicated mood of three points of entanglement, three points of helplessness and four points of uncertainty, bid farewell to the living slug who is teaching Kaguya Ren the Wet Bone Forest Immortal Technique, and embark on the road back to Konoha.

"I should have known that if Kaguya Ren took the initiative to seek something, there must be a huge undercurrent behind it that was about to surface......

"You've been dealing with him for so many years, you should get used to that, Tsunade."

In a tavern on the border of the Land of Fire, Tsunade and Jiraiya were enjoying seafood dishes from the Land of Water, while sipping on their glasses, soothing their nerves, which were about to become accustomed to a peaceful life, but were suddenly forced to tense up again.

"No matter how familiar you are with his style, you will inevitably feel awkward and dissatisfied with his arbitrary and one-of-a-kind approach, right?"

Tsunade shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at Jiraiya's face that had obviously aged over the years, and sighed and said:

"Even when I stayed with my eldest grandfather and second grandfather, I didn't feel like I didn't need to work hard, I just had to wait for them to solve all the problems."

"That's probably because Lord Pillar and Lord Kazuma are always two separate people, right?"

Zilai also drank all the wine in his cup, and at the same time, a little red tide poured on his mature face, but also made his eyes with a little confusion and emotion:

"Although it is said that Juma-sama and Kajima-sama are the closest biological brothers, and the two also joined forces to create the foundation of Konoha Village and a series of later structures, it is undeniable that even between such close two people, there are still differences, right? For example...... Once Tsuruma-sama, you want Madara Uchiha to become the first Hokage? ”

Madara is not a suitable person to become Hokage, although Grandpa would have recited Madara's name from time to time for a long time, and lamented that if he had made a different choice then, would there be a different scenery now...... But I still agree more with the second grandfather's opinion, Madara who is arbitrary, overly high-handed, and at the same time difficult to give trust to others, is not suitable to be a Hokage in that era. ”

Hearing Tsunade's serious rebuttal, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said with a smile:

"I don't mean to dismiss the judgment of the second generation of adults, Tsunade?"

"I'm not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, I can hear what you mean."

Tsunade rolled his eyes at Jiraiya, and then said slowly:

"Do you want to say that the reason why Kaguya Ren can't help but feel as if he is becoming more and more useless because he almost completely combines the advantages of the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather, and happens to have a force like Wuyin that is convenient for him to drive, so that he can be invincible, making other people of the same generation and even the previous era seem a little overshadowed, right?"

"Not exactly."

Jiraiya watched Tsunade fill the wine glass in front of him again, and sighed softly:

"It's not so much that Kaguya completely combines the advantages of the first and second generations of adults, but rather that he actually selectively combines the advantages of the first generation of adults, Madara Uchiha, and the second generation of adults at the same time."

"Like the second generation of adults, he knows how to use people well, and he is not prejudiced to the people he appoints, while also maintaining the necessary and not overly scheming as a ninja and leader;

Like the first Lord, Kaguya Ren also has compassion and kindness for the ninjas of other villages, but it is not enough to say that she will be as kind as the first Lord, to the point of being a little too idealistic;

And he is as confident, proud, and assertive as Madara Uchiha when he makes plans, but he is rarely swayed by his emotions like Madara......"

"The integration of the three, and the intelligence advantage of being able to glimpse the future, will form an atmosphere of stars and moons and solitary moons in the sky in this era, which is not surprising."

"You really like him, Jiraiya." Tsunade tilted his head and quipped at Jiraiya.

"When a person looks up at the night sky, how can his eyes not be attracted by the cold and bright full moon in the sky?"

Jiraiya drank the wine in the glass again, and then sighed long:

"If I thought that he would completely change this world full of war and suffering, and draw a break for an era when ninjas were constantly at odds, now I can't help but fantasize about the starry sky that we have been looking up to and curious about under his leadership."

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Tsunade shook the clear liquor in the glass, stared at the moon shadow and the galaxy reflected in it, and said to himself in a trance:

"Towards the stars or something...... We haven't even measured the ground under our feet, right? A civilization that hasn't even fully explored its homeland, well, says it wants to go to that universe we can't even guess how vast it is...... This is the same as a little kid who can't even walk steadily, pointing at Kaguya and saying that he wants to surpass the other party, is it purely a dream? ”

"If it's pure dreaming...... Not really? ”

Jiraiya put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly into Tsunade's eyes, and asked seriously:

"In the past few years, Tsunade shouldn't have had less contact and communication with the child called Yakushidou in Wuyin Village, right? In addition to the academic exchange in medical ninjutsu, did he mention anything else to you? For example...... Orochimaru, what the hell is he doing or something? ”

"Orochimaru?"

Tsunade furrowed his good-looking brow, "If you say that, it's true that I haven't met Orochimaru in years...... Although I occasionally hear from Yakushidou about some of the research ideas and cutting-edge theories that he and Orochimaru have worked together, I really don't know exactly where these things came about......

"Well, you don't have a lot of important things to deal with lately, right?"

Jiraiya rubbed his hands, showing a somewhat nostalgic expression.

"No to no, but what do you mean by this expression?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya's expression as if he was nostalgic for the past, and couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"It's been a long time since we, Konoha Sannin, have gotten together to talk about our recent situation and talk about the future."

Jiraiya smiled, reached out and grabbed Tsunade's palm, and with a little bit of alcohol that I don't know how much it worked, he sent an invitation to Tsunade:

"If you agree, then let's not go back to Konoha first, but go directly to the Land of Rain, and before the dawn meeting begins, let's go meet with Orochimaru and have a chat."

"Orochimaru...... In the Land of Rain? Tsunade looked surprised, "Why are you so sure he'll be there, Jiraiya?" ”

"I've been dealing with Kaguya for so many years, and for a large conference like the Dawn Conference for all the forces in the entire ninja world, do you think he would be content to just reveal the existence of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to the people, and reveal some information related to the Otsuki clan to them?"

"No, he'll definitely take this opportunity to get more done at once." Tsunade thoughtfully pressed the back of his hand against his chin, "Are you saying that he will show the results of Orochimaru's research to the ninja world at the dawn meeting?" ”

"And Orochimaru, that laboratory that is a bit too beyond imagination for the entire ninja world."

Jiraiya recalled his experience of encountering Orochimaru in the fog and being taken by the other party to the laboratory built in the renovated satellite fortress, with some emotion, and couldn't help but gloat a little and said:

"I can assure you that he will definitely take this opportunity to lead the eyes of the ninja people from the earth to the starry sky, and throw out a lot of information in one breath that is enough to shatter everyone's common sense and cognition......"

"What if someone's common sense is shattered and they choose to refuse to accept reality?" Tsunade asked calmly.

"Kaguya pity that guy, when did you think about those guys who refused to accept reality?" Jiraiya rolled his eyes, "He would only walk in front of himself, and then mercilessly dragged the people who had collapsed to the ground and refused to move forward, forcing them to stand up helplessly and obediently chase after the people who had collapsed on the ground and refused to move forward, and after they were tossed all over their bodies by the sand and thorns along the way, they could not bear it, and then obediently walked towards his back." ”

"This is really in line with his usual style of description......"

The corners of Tsunade's mouth twitched and he drank the last glass of wine in his hand, then placed it on the table with great force.

"If you don't want to go over, I just want to see where that kid from the pharmacist came up with so many strange medical theories......
