Chapter 229: Tavern Speech
Konoha.
A luxurious and high-end tavern was full of people under the blue sky and daylight, but in the daytime tavern were ninjas with solemn expressions, and even ninjas or business travelers from other countries.
But without exception, the people here are either rich or expensive, and the lowest Konoha ninjas here are all at the middle ninja level. The tavern's open doors seemed to not be afraid of any leaks.
In the luxurious tavern, a luxurious Uchiha Ya holds the red cover 'My Struggle' in one hand and gives an impassioned speech at the same time.
"What kind of world do we live in? A ninja with power? But it's a poor ninja again! The old ninjas suffer from poverty and suffering, they don't know how to produce, but they want to protect the village! Protect your family! They chose to be a tool like a ninja......"
"There are ninjas from other countries who come to carry out missions, and there are also merchants, but without exception, why do the ninja world wars continue to be prohibited...... Civilians can't live and work in peace, and businessmen don't have to worry about being intercepted and killed on the road......"
Under the impassioned speech of the Uchiha Night, many ninjas from other countries who came here were flushed and excitedly taking notes, as if they wanted to write down all the words of the other party, and then go back and memorize them word for word.
Even as a businessman, they have shown excitement and fanaticism, in this chaotic world, who is not afraid of their heads on their belts, and even many of them belong to the kind that have not graduated from ninja schools, and some are ninjas who have retired from the disabled.
Merchants, while conducting business and trade, are actually more about passing on more information, so the position of merchants is in a very awkward position.
As the source of the mission, they are loved by the major ninja villages, and at the same time, they are hated because they pass on and may even probe the information of their own village, needless to say during the war, the wealth is moving.
Moreover, these merchants are all subordinate to the nobles of various countries, and even the daimyo's mansion, so the so-called huge wealth, they are just a representative, and the person who really has wealth will always be the superior.
Ninjas who are escorts will respect the merchants, and as interceptors, they will prioritize assassinating merchants. Unless there is something extremely important in this shipment, they need to grab it.
In a box on the second floor of the tavern, a white-haired figure looked at the young man's speech below with an increasingly solemn expression, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "This little ghost's thoughts are too terrifying, he will only bring disaster!" ”
"Tsunade!"
This person is Jiraiya, but after disguise, he blended into the tavern and no one recognized him, and at this time, Tsunade, who was sitting at the table and exuded an aristocratic atmosphere, did not raise his eyebrows, but calmly raised his wine glass.
"Tsunade-sama."
The silent and respectful pouring of wine on the side, the pupils of Zilai who watched this scene shrank, and he couldn't help but have a headache on his scalp, Tsunade hasn't seen him for a few years, how can he change so much!
How to say it before, although she is known as the princess of the country of fire, she is more bold and has a strong atmosphere, and at most she is short-tempered.
As a result, Tsunade, who is now from head to toe, is almost like two people, and the once somewhat old-fashioned green robe has been replaced by a wide and exquisite kimono.
The white kimono is adorned with a hexagonal plum with red thorns on the wide cuffs, and a haughty neck with a snow-white fluffy shawl draped over the shoulders.
With long blonde hair and brilliant golden eyes, if the former Tsunade was heroic, then now it is extravagant.
It's like a noble empress with a powerful momentum from above, especially the innate arrogance and aristocratic style.
And at the feet, the once old-fashioned black high heels have long been gone, replaced by a pair of crystal fish mouth hating sky-high heels, elegant and extravagant, and the crystal ribbon of the high heels is wrapped around the calf, adding a bit of luxury.
Tsunade calmly took a sip of sake, and said calmly with an unchanged expression: "Jiraiya, calmness is the norm of ninjas, and the so-called disaster you have brought about for so many years, is there it?" ”
Speaking of this, Tsunade sneered disdainfully, looked at Jiraiya mockingly, and said, "It seems that the fools you said who inherited the will of fire have been bringing disaster, haven't they?" ”
Jiraiya was speechless at a word, and at this time Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment, he thought that Tsunade was taking the opportunity to mock what the village had done.
"Ahem, Tsunade, I'm afraid the old man is really bottomless this time, otherwise he wouldn't have recalled you and me."
Jiraiya directly exposed the reason for coming back this time, and Tsunade smiled even more disdainfully after hearing it, "I can't clean up the mess I made, but I know that I called someone, can I use it so troublesome?" It is not the easiest thing to let the old man's most optimistic disciple, Orochimaru, discipline his own apprentice. ”
"Ahem!"
Although Tsunade has changed a lot, his temper has not changed at all, and the wine in his mouth has not been drunk, and he is choked and coughed repeatedly, and a wry smile appears on his face.
Tsunade still hasn't changed at all, isn't it okay to mention Orochimaru at this time.
"Tsunade, I don't object to this imp being ambitious, after all, it's not wrong for every Konoha ninja to want to become a Hokage, but you may not have read this imp's book, but at least you've heard it, right? And the speech of this little ghost right now. ”
"If you really let this little ghost become the Hokage, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the entire ninja world, not Konoha alone!"
When it comes to business, he also restrained his unobtrusive emotions, and directly showed a solemn look and looked directly at Tsunade.
However, Tsunade still looks extravagant, sipping wine and eating elegantly, without the slightest appearance of disagreement, and he is even more helpless when he looks at it.
"Tsunade, this is the information of this little imp for a few years after he became the head of the Uchiha patriarch, just such a speech This little ghost has not only been in Konoha, but even in several important towns in the Land of Fire, and has even been invited to give a speech when he visited other countries."
"Do you know how obsessed the ninjas of other countries are with this little imp's crazy mind now, except for Konoha?"
When he said this, Jilai showed an extremely solemn look on a rare occasion, and said in a deep voice: "More than half of the ninjas in the ninja world who are crazy about his crazy thoughts in the ninja army and hired ninjas, Tsunade, you should know what kind of terrifying data this is!" ”
"There are also the kingdoms of the sky, the kingdom of bears, the kingdom of stars, and the kingdom of rivers...... And so on, these small countries have spawned a lot of crazy fanatics, completely like cultists. ”
"Even the four major powers are quite stable, but now the situation in the ninja world, the terrifying ambition of this little ghost, and the leaders of the ninja world are simply waiting for the Konoha civil war, and all this will even become the fuse of the fourth ninja war in the ninja world."
Is there also alarmism? No! Otherwise, how would Tsunade come back.
Jiraiya's words also caused Tsunade's calm cheeks to fluctuate, and his bright brown eyes looked through the gap in the private room at the handsome man who was full of powerful personal charm below, and was giving an impassioned speech at this time.
This scene made a complicated color appear in her eyes, and finally she turned her head to look at Jiraiya's solemn expression, and couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile.
"Jiraiya, as you said, this little ghost is already a big tail, just looking at the popularity of this little ghost, I'm afraid that no one in Konoha can beat it, and this little ghost has the entire Uchiha family under his command, as well as the team of the Hyuga branch, the oil girl, and Orochimaru."
"The general trend has been achieved, four generations of old men who have died in battle and three generations have re-emerged from the mountain, but they are temporarily acting as Hokage, and the result has been so many years."
Speaking of this, Tsunade shook his head even more sarcastically and sneered: "The older the three generations of old men, the more stubborn their personalities become, but the same means and courage are getting worse and worse, but they are still paranoid that only he can save Konoha, but now?" Not even a little imp can handle it. ”
Jiraiya naturally knew what Tsunade meant, and he couldn't help but bow his head and fall silent.
When he was young, the three generations of Hokage apes were indeed known as ninjas, but as they grew old, they became self-righteous and paranoid, which led to such a big mess.
Most of the upper ninjas in the village are already a little dissatisfied with the regime of the three generations of Hokage, or rather, most of the upper ninja in the village are dissatisfied with the power of the Hokage's high-ranking clan.
Good locations and good tasks all give priority to Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara and other ninjas of the Hokage line, and then it will be their turn, like a pool of stagnant water.
At first, it was nothing, but as time went on, the prejudices in people's hearts became more and more accumulated, and the three generations of Hokage regimes began to deviate a little.
If it weren't for the Hokage's high-level leadership who held the general trend (strength), he would have stepped down a long time ago.
This is something that even Jiraiya and Tsunade know all year round, and even the two of them are dissatisfied. Otherwise, in the original book, when the third generation Hokage was in the enchantment, there was no one to rescue him except his own dark department.
Hot-blooded Kai wanted to go, Kakashi believed in the three generations of Hokage-sama, so he was stunned and stopped, didn't Kai, who became a shinobi, understand? Let's not talk about opening eight doors, do you still have the ability to open six or seven doors to dry the explosion enchantment?
The roots didn't come out, and even the two advisors didn't come out, so it's all weird.
Even Jiraiya was weirdly paddling in the village, as if everyone had abandoned the three generations at this moment, or everyone chose to give the three generations Hokage, who was known as the longest ruling Hokage, a decent ending.
"Tsunade, the old man is indeed old." When he thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, but he still said his reasons.
"The old and new forces will inevitably usher in a conflict, the extreme ambition of this little ghost, and the stubbornness of the three generations of old men, both sides have made it clear that no one will be soft, and the entire ninja world is staring at Konoha!"
"Everyone is afraid that Konoha won't be able to fight, and as long as there is a chance, they want Konoha to have a civil war, so Tsunade is not me alarmist this time."
At this time, Jiraiya said in an extremely solemn and deep voice: "Once the Konoha Civil War breaks out, do you think that Iwa Shinobi and Yun Shinobi, who have been expanding their military power in recent years, will give up this opportunity?" And the Sand Ninja Village probably won't miss this opportunity. ”
"So what?" Faced with such a solemn mention of this topic, Tsunade smiled disdainfully, and Jade played with the wine glass.
"Help the three generations of those old people not die? And then suppress this imp? Start the civil war early? Or are you going to pull me in, join forces with those old immortals in the name of the three ninjas, to suppress people with power, and then use the dirty means of Tuanzang to disintegrate the power of this little ghost. ”
"It's like dealing with the two fools of White Fang and Orochimaru."
Tsunade, who exposed the ugliness of politics so bluntly and nakedly, showed a disdainful smile on her face, she hated such methods, so she always liked to solve problems with her fists, maybe her identity did not allow her to be like this, so she could only rely on violent means to vent her inner unhappiness and anger.
"Ahem!"
After being scolded so nakedly by Tsunade, Jiraiya's old face showed embarrassment, "Tsunade, let's just say what you say, don't say it in front of the old man." ”
"What? A group of old immortals should have entered the earth a long time ago, and now the dead skin and lazy faces can't take the place, and they keep saying that it is for Konoha. ”
"Maybe it was for Konoha before, but now!" When he said this, Tsunade sneered disdainfully, and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes.
The silence on the side was directly frightened by the topic of the two, and bowed her head obediently as a little sister who poured wine, how dare she take this stubble.
The identities of Tsunade and Jiraiya are on hold here, and it's no problem to say this, even Tsunade pointed to the nose of the high-level and scolded them, but she can't.
"Tsunade-sama."
After seeing that there was only half a glass of wine in the wine glass, Tsunade suddenly turned his head to show dissatisfaction, and Shizune couldn't help but show a habitual embarrassed smile when he saw this scene, as if he had a point.
Actually, I don't even know Shizuki.,Since a few years ago, Tsunade of the Vortex Country didn't know what he had experienced.,'Personality has changed greatly.,Even the alcoholism of the past has become regular.。
"Humph! Is that enough for today? It's really stingy. ”
Tsunade snorted dissatisfiedly, and couldn't help but mumble and curse through gritted teeth, but under Jiraiya's stunned gaze, Tsunade didn't ask for any more wine, but gently put the half glass of wine to his lips and sipped it gently, as if this was the last amount of the day.
This scene surprised Jiraiya, and he was even more shocked: "Tsunade, what are you crazy about, actually!" ”
However, before the words could be spoken, he was greeted by a pair of cold eyes of Tsunade, and in an instant, he also thought of the iron fist, and suddenly the look on his face stiffened, and even the words that followed were swallowed into his stomach.
"Hehe, it's good, it's good."
Jiraiya smiled brightly, raised his glass and signaled the two to touch the wine glass lightly, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.
"Tsunade!"
As a ninja's observation, Jiraiya had already noticed that something was wrong, and today's combination made him want to ask clearly, but before he could finish speaking, Tsunade seemed to know what he was going to ask, and answered directly in a flat tone.
"I found a young one, rich, but a little disobedient."
Tsunade waved his hand a little impatiently and said, after so many years, how could she not know Jiraiya's intentions, so she directly wanted to dispel the other party's thoughts.
And Jiraiya's body trembled slightly after hearing this, and then his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he exclaimed in a strange way after a long time: "Tsunade, you old cow eats tender grass!" ”
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade's angry voice sounded, and the relationship between the three ninja was restored to before, and there was only one white-haired, sad and lonely soul.
And after listening to Mute, he muttered secretly, sure enough, no wonder Tsunade-sama has changed so much in recent years.
Ahem, my body is getting better today, and I'm notified, let's resume normal updates the day after tomorrow, and let me rest a little tomorrow.
