Inside the Baile Tavern.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama."

Naruto stood up and apologized sincerely, looking determined to reflect.

Surprisingly, Tsunade wasn't angry, at least not upset that Naruto had lied. She reached out and grasped the bottle, a deep gully squeezing out of her chest with the movement.

The wrist is skillfully poured, and the clear wine falls into the glass with a clatter.

Took a sip and put it down with a bang.

"I already know about the three generations......"

The atmosphere of conversation between Tsunade and Jiraiya was unusually solemn, Naruto worked silently, and after eating, he walked to the counter and settled the account and went out to hang out.

This matter is not something he can interfere with, and there is no point in sitting there and listening.

Tsunade's eyes swept past Naruto, who was not wearing a forehead guard outside the window, and his mind flashed to the face of the rope tree, and his eyes were a little lonely.

"No more playing."

She threw the poker on the table, distraught.

"You're still so headstrong after all this time, Tsunade." Jiraiya also glanced out the window, looking not in a hurry, "It doesn't matter if you don't play cards, it's just that now the village needs you to be the fifth Hokage." ”

"If you say no....... That kid estimated. ”

"Jiraiya, don't play this kind of child's trick." Tsunade poured himself a glass of wine, "Who cares about that nine-tailed imp?" ”

"The rope tree thing......" Jiraiya said with a bite of food.

"Don't mention the rope tree." Tsunade's eyes were fierce, "I have nothing to lose, it's too stupid to risk my life for the village." ”

"It's a surprise to me that you think that way." Jiraiya said.

"It's human nature." Tsunade continued to drink, his voice was lazy, and his body was mature, "Orochimaru has gone crazy, the third generation is dead, and you are old. ”

"As for the death of the third generation at the hands of Orochimaru, I am not surprised at all. Orochimaru has no feelings anymore, but the three generations still have illusions about him. ”

"After all, he is the most proud disciple." Jiraiya smiled.

"Nobody is unfamiliar with that position." Tsunade was a little drunk, and the conversation changed, "What's the matter with that little ghost you brought?" ”

"The son of four generations." Jiraiya took a glass of wine into his throat, "It's similar to the rope tree, isn't it?" ”

"I'm telling you not to lift the rope tree anymore." Tsunade was a little annoyed.

"Don't mention it, Naruto's kid originally stayed in the village to be supervised by the three generations and the dark department, and I went back some time ago." Jiraiya's voice became serious.

"The Nine-Tails were released by Naruto."

Tsunade's eyes paused, but he didn't say anything.

"This matter also has something to do with Uchiha Itachi, but it's hard to say if the situation is unclear now." Jiraiya said, "I originally thought that Naruto would grow into a character like the fourth generation, but now ......."

"Tsunade, at our age, there's nothing to lose. Some things can't be helped, but some things can be changed. ”

Tsunade held Choshi with wine in his hand, and stared at himself for maybe a long time.

After a long time, Tsunade got up and staggered out the door.

The street lights are bright, and Tsunade doesn't have to do anything, just going to that stop is enough to attract the attention of the crowd.

The green robe is slightly drunk, and she has a beautiful face that is not lost to a twenty-year-old girl, with a thin waist and a huge waist, and the whole person exudes the temperament of a mature royal sister. Even if it's not an iceberg face, it's intimidating and afraid to step forward.

The eyes narrowed slightly as if they were looking for something, and the naturally cute expression made people feel a contrast. Passers-by were stunned, hit a telephone pole, and covered their noses in pain.

Although the unattainable image is gone, no one dares to step forward to talk to this eight-headed woman with a circumference of 126.7.

The night breeze blows.

Tsunade jumped onto the roof and saw Naruto who was practicing Spiral Maru with one hand.

The spiral pill rotated slowly but steadily, and Naruto was not in a hurry or impatient, as if he was fiddling with a newly bought toy. He sat there quietly, staring at the spiral pill spinning expressionlessly.

"It's too slow, it's not lethal at all."

Tsunade commented loudly, his voice intoxicated.

"Patience is all about practice." Naruto threw out Jiraiya's rhetoric, looked up and saw that it was Tsunade, and immediately changed his respectful attitude.

"That's the ninjutsu that Jiraiya gave you, right?" Tsunade took his eyes off Naruto and thought of Rope Tree in his mind.

"Sort of." Naruto stood up and looked at Tsunade and saluted, "Tsunade-sama, will you return to the village to serve as the fifth Hokage?" ”

"Oh?" Tsunade didn't answer directly, leaning forward slightly, his face slightly drunk with a playful look, "Do you really want me to be the fifth Hokage?" ”

"Yes." Naruto said calmly, "If Tsunade-sama refuses to become Hokage, I will probably be imprisoned as a dangerous monster. ”

"Why should I help you?" Tsunade smiled, and slapped Naruto's shoulder with one hand.

"Tsunade-sama, I'm a Nine-Tails Pillar Force, but I'm not guilty." Naruto said, "I didn't have a choice before, now I just want to be a normal person." ”

"What if I refuse?"

"Then I'll figure it out myself." Naruto told the truth, his tone was sincere, "Nobody wants to be a monster, and to be honest, it's not a good experience. ”

Speaking of this, Naruto paused, a smile on his face.

"I don't care what the Supreme Advisors think, but it's time for Konoha to get ready to lose the Nine-Tails."

"It's really a failure for the village to force people like this." Tsunade took his hand back and muttered, "It's not impossible to go back, but I'll have to think about it for a few days." ”

Naruto looked at Tsunade and said yes.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

He has always been respectful to Tsunade, who met for the first time. Naruto didn't think the other party would approve of his empty will to fire, because he didn't have it at all.

Sincerity is nirvana, and what he just said is the truth.

Even if Tsunade doesn't serve as the fifth generation, there is a self-rear, and it will not be the turn of the group to take the position. For Naruto, whether Tsunade takes up the post of the fifth generation is only a matter of unraveling the Tail Seal.

As for how Tsunade will choose, whether he will kill Orochimaru alone or return to the village neatly, he can only take one step at a time.

Sometimes preconceived impressions can be bad, and it's useless to think so much, so it's better to continue practicing Spiral Pills.

Following.

Naruto slept all day at the guesthouse, and it was already dark when he woke up. Jiraiya wasn't there, and Naruto didn't care, so he washed up for a while and went downstairs to find something to eat.

The 3,000 taels he earned from his own have not yet been spent, which is enough for him to eat sukiyaki, tempura, and ramen. After a casual stroll, Naruto, who was about to go back to the inn with a snack, was suddenly attracted by something.

It was a black shadow, a tall gatehouse huddled in Short Book Street, with a plaque on it with the words "Short Book Street" hanging on it. The dark shadow sat there, looking a little familiar.
