The Land of Fire, Konoha Hidden Village.

Tsunade takes a little black-haired girl by the hand and sends her to the door of the ninja school.

"Mute, let's do a good job today." Tsunade smiled dotingly at the girl, squatting down and using his hand to remove her lingering sea, revealing a smooth forehead.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" The little girl replied silently and crisply, the happy sparkle in her eyes indicating that she was not resistant to going to school.

"Good boy." Tsunade touched the girl's head, turned his head sideways and said to the school teacher who was standing next to him, "I'll leave you with silence today." ”

"Silence has always been reassuring." The bespectacled female teacher smiled and took the mute from Tsunade's hand, "Tsunade-sama walks slowly." ”

"Hmm." Tsunade waved his hand and simply left.

"I woke up so early today that I forgot to comb my hair...... That's right! If you have some free time, let's go to the izakaya I saw yesterday. Tsunade strode towards the destination he had been dreaming about yesterday, his mouth already hungry.

Suddenly, there was a cold needle-like tingling sensation on the back of her neck, and Tsunade immediately stopped, frowned slightly, turned his head sideways, and his bright brown eyes unsurprisingly saw a man with long black hair, nearly one meter eight tall, and pale skin.

Half of his body was hidden in the shadows of the building, and he said hoarsely, "I see that you have free time every day." ”

Tsunade raised his eyebrows and snorted softly, "Orochimaru, why are you suddenly willing to come out of your lab to find me?" ”

Drawing purple eyeshadow that extends to the wings of his nose, Orochimaru with eyes like snakes leaning lazily against the wall, only half of his face can be seen by Tsunade, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and his voice was like a thin line across the cardboard: "Jiraiya has been stuck outside for too long, and Sarufei-sensei and several advisors are very dissatisfied." ”

"So you're going to drag me with you to Jiraiya?" Tsunade grinned, thrust his waist and sneered, "This isn't like you. ”

The Second Ninja World War, after the baptism of war, as the disciples of the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were famous in the ninja world, and even the leader of Yuyin Village, known as the demigod, Sanshoyu Hanzo, was given the name of "Konoha Three Ninja" to show their strength and intimacy.

However, this title that others feel powerful and glorious is shameful in the eyes of the three ninja themselves, after all, they still lost the local war with Sanshoyu Hanzo, if it weren't for the huge Konoha Hidden Village behind the three of them, and with some regrets, the three of them would probably die in that rain.

The "Three Shinobi" is strong, but the name is given by the stronger, and the "Three Shinobi" is intimate, but it drifted away after the war.

The comrades-in-arms who should have been close have now become the upper echelons of the village and have more secrets of their own.

Tsunade couldn't understand the cold man in front of him anymore, he had been huddled in his laboratory all day, very close to Danzo, just as she didn't quite understand why Jiraiya was so obsessed with the "Child of Prophecy" and wandered outside the village all day long.

Tsunade's face was smiling, but his eyes were complicated.

"Go find Jiraiya?" Orochimaru laughed twice, "Don't make that joke, I'm here to ask you for help." ”

"For your experiments? I'm not available, the ninja hospital is busy. Tsunade waved her hand without hesitation and refused, she didn't want to get involved in Orochimaru's experiment at all.

Although she didn't ask about Orochimaru, she also knew something from others by chance, Orochimaru's experiment was likely to involve taboos, not to mention helping, it was already the limit that Tsunade could endure ignoring it.

"Busy? I've been to the hospital ten times and haven't seen you nine times. Orochimaru looked at Tsunade deeply and said regretfully, "If you don't plan to help, forget it." ”

After that, he was about to use the teleportation technique to leave, but Tsunade's hand grabbed it directly, and Orochimaru didn't dodge, allowing Tsunade to grab his hand, and asked calmly, "What, changed your mind?" ”

"Of course not, it's rare for old friends to meet and go to a bar together." Tsunade approached maliciously and said with a smile, Orochimaru is simply the best wallet for today.

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade indifferently, he shook off Tsunade's hand and left in an instant, leaving only a residual voice in place: "Bored." ”

"Tsk!" Tsunade withdrew his hand in annoyance, and as soon as he turned his head, he forgot about Orochimaru, and found the izakaya that he had been thinking about yesterday in a dashing manner.

If it weren't for the fact that something really happened in the hospital yesterday, she would have come a long time ago.

"Boss, serve the wine!" Tsunade shouted as soon as he walked into the small izakaya.

"Huh!? Here it comes! "There were such guests early in the morning, and the owner was also shocked.

Soon, Tsunade was sitting at the wine table, enjoying the side dishes that came with it while drinking a small sake.

After the Second Great Ninja War, she began to get bored, or subconsciously avoided all matters related to ninjas, and even imagined leaving the village like Jiraiya, wandering around freely, never to return to this sad place.

But she's too lonely, and Tsunade still wants to take Shizune with her, but Shizune is still young and hasn't received enough basic education, so it's irresponsible to take her out of the village too early.

Tsunade looked at the red painting on the opposite wall, his body stiffened slightly, and then he took a big sip of wine laughing at himself: "Alas~ I don't know when I will be able to relax." ”

It didn't take long for Tsunade to be surrounded by a pile of sake jugs, and Tsunade, who had no idea of moderation, was so drunk that she was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly saw a large area of crimson rising in front of her like a tidal wave, engulfing her, and then a world of gray mist appeared blurbly in front of her.

It's a dream, isn't it...... Tsunade didn't feel any danger, and she fell asleep with such a thought.

Above the gray fog.

Xie Mao looked at this guy who was pulled into the gray mist by him, and slept on the bronze long table with his head on his head before he could see his appearance clearly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

I pulled you up to sleep?

There shouldn't be much time difference in the ninja world, it's still morning on my side, is it late at night on your side?

By the way, who are you? Through the gray mist, Xie Mao could vaguely see that the woman who was sleeping had a light yellow, long hair that fell down, and she looked like she was in her early sixties, and her figure seemed to be good, but because she was lying on her stomach, Xie Mao couldn't tell who she was.

You can't hold her face up and look at it, because it's blocked by gray fog, and you may not be able to see it clearly...... Xie Mao hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was very ungentlemanly, so he dispelled the idea, cut off the contact, and watched the "stars" shine again, the crimson light shrank back like water, and the woman's figure suddenly became more blurred and illusory.

In less than a second, the figure projected by the "stars" shattered on the seat, and the magnificent palace returned to silence.

"Speaking of which, I didn't even think about what to say before pulling people, well, to prepare for the next pull, I should think of some appropriate names."

Xie Mao thought about this, his body simulated the feeling of sinking, and suddenly fell into the gray mist, and returned to his room in the real world.

I didn't expect to meet a strange guy on the first attempt...... When Xie Mao shook his head amusedly, he found that his system was a little more updated:

[Item: Source Castle: Projection]

[At present, it is possible to invite other people's spirits to go to the gray mist to strengthen the ability of the "Fool" sequence, but for the time being, it is unable to respond to prayers, sacrifices and gifts]

Xie Mao's eyes widened in surprise, what he had turned out to be just a projection of the Source Castle?

And they can't answer prayers, sacrifices, and gives!?

Isn't his dream of being an item trading platform shattered!

Xie Mao's heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't accept it at all.

Fortunately, in the text of the system description, the word "temporary" is written, which means that the future is promising, and it is not restricted to death.

It's a worthwhile attempt, at least we've figured something out, and next time we'll try to pull that lady again and see who can leave a crimson "star" on top of the gray mist...... Xie Mao thought about tidying up the room and found a small stack of silver cards.

This is a divination card that Uncle Sen made as soon as he asked for it at that time, which tasted slightly cold to the touch, but the workmanship was exquisite and exquisite.

Xie Mao sighed lightly and turned to go out.

He's going to visit Fenfu.

…………

"Whew~Whew~"

Tsunade, who was sleeping soundly, felt that someone was pushing her, and she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the proprietress of the izakaya with a smile on her face, "Guest, it's already noon." ”

"Huh?" Tsunade reached out and patted his head, "So fast? ”

"Yes." The hostess chimed in.

Seeing the small sake jugs around him, Tsunade, whose face was still red, laughed: "Let's settle the bill!" ”

She had enough money with her when she went out this time.

After paying the bill, she went out, and the noon sun shone on Tsunade's face, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to shade the sun, and her drunk brain finally sobered up.

"I seem to have had a somewhat interesting dream and saw a palace full of fog...... "Tsunade frowned slightly, but soon, she left it behind.

She didn't want to think about all this nonsense anymore, and she didn't have anyone to share interesting stories with.
