The three shinobi are rarely reunited again, and of course they have to gather together for dinner.

After nightfall, we arrived at the food street that was not very far from the Hokage Building.

There was laughter and laughter all the way, and with the succession of the five generations of Hokage, the sad atmosphere caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion seemed to be washed away. In life, people must learn to leave behind the burdens of the past and welcome a more hopeful tomorrow.

"It's good that the village is alive again." Zilai also looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

He had returned to the village earlier than Tsunade, and had seen the atmosphere in the village before.

After Orochimaru officially succeeded to the Hokage, the atmosphere in the village was noticeably much better.

Tsunade also quietly looked at everything in front of him, and fell into some recollection.

Suddenly, some children ran past them.

As they ran, the children were still yelling.

"I'm going to be the Hokage!"

"Nope! I'm the Hokage! ”

"Woohoo! Look at my shuriken! ”

"Look at me! Squirting Technique! ”

Apparently, it was the children of the village who were playing ninja games and competing to be Hokage.

Tsunade, who saw this scene, was in a trance.

She thought of the rope tree, and she thought of the break.

They all have dreams of becoming Hokage. And then in the process of chasing this dream, it was also cut off in the process of chasing this dream.

Tsunade's body trembled slightly for a moment, and she took a deep breath.

Jiraiya next to him wanted to raise his hand and put it on Tsunade's shoulder to comfort her, but soon, he paused his hand again and put it down.

"Tsunade, you're coming back this time, you're not leaving, are you?" He asked.

Tsunade cupped his chest and exhaled.

"I don't have anything to do when I come back, I stay for a few days at most, and then I'll leave."

"Aren't you thinking about staying?"

"You think I'm you? After being fooled by Orochimaru for a few words, he wanted to stay and help him. Tsunade squinted at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru curled his lips and smiled.

"Forget it."

She waved her hand.

"Let's have a meal, I want to eat tender chicken, and of course I can have a little wine."

"Then I'll drink with you! It just so happens that we haven't been drinking together for a long time, why don't you have a little Orochimaru? ”

"I don't drink too much."

But it's also a sign of flattery, and of course Tsunade and Jiraiya know that Orochimaru is a person who likes to keep a cool head.

is willing to drink a little with them, it is already for the sake of friendship.

"Then let's come along!" Jiraiya shouted with his hands raised in the air.

Just like in the past, as the one in the team who actively enlivens the atmosphere.

Soon, they arrived at a shop, and since Orochimaru likes to eat eggs and doesn't like cold food, they want to eat hot eggs, which is a pot of stewed oden.

In order to take care of Orochimaru, there are also more eggs.

In addition to this, tender chickens were called, and a few bottles of wine.

"Cheers!"

The three of them clinked glasses again.

Tsunade and Jiraiya are also drunk in one gulp, and Orochimaru drinks lightly.

As if feeling unpleasant, Tsunade blew on the bottle.

"Tsunade, don't drink so quickly, let's eat something slowly." I also care about the persuasion.

Of course, Tsunade didn't listen much, and almost drank the bottle in one go, and put it down.

Her face was slightly red, and as a medical ninja, she seemed to be deliberately letting the effects of alcohol kick in, making her feel a little smoky.

Zilai also looked at her with some concern, obviously wanting to care more kindly, but he wanted to stop talking, feeling like holding his breath, but he couldn't let it out.

Orochimaru on the side, looking at his friend's appearance of always being timid at an important juncture.

Not only Orochimaru, but Tsunade also glanced at Jiraiya with a smoky look.

Brave guy.

It's really a very guts guy, Orochimaru thinks so. A woman like Tsunade, who is very aggressive on the surface but is actually very sensitive, is willing to show a weakness in front of you, that is, to give you a chance to appease her, which is also an opportunity for Zilai to go further and establish a relationship with Tsunade.

But in the end, Zilai still hesitated.

I may be a failure. ’

Jiraiya thought so in his heart.

"Jiraiya." Tsunade took another long sip of wine and screamed.

"Tsunade?"

"Do you think you're a good guy?"

“…… Probably not. ”

"That's right, you're not one to settle down." Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya, his face flushed and intoxicated.

"What I like now is people who can settle down. This person can't be you. ”

So, rejected again? He obviously didn't say anything.

Jiraiya smiled wryly.

The big snake pill on the side sighed silently, a little clumsy without looking at it.

Of course, maybe it's not just clumsy, but Jiraiya also has his own knot, and Tsunade also has his own knot.

The two knots dangle each other, wanting to touch, but because each other's knots will pull each other tightly, they can only be in the dangle, seemingly close, but they have never been able to really get close.

Orochimaru decided to help Ziraiya.

Well, it's also a favor for yourself.

Because he also wants Tsunade to stay.

"Jiraiya."

Orochimaru said: "If we have to do something that has never been more peaceful in this world, are you willing to settle down and not pursue an unattainable prophecy?" ”

"If it really brings about peace like never before." Jiraiya looked at the peaceful street scene of Konoha outside with a hint of yearning, and said with a bright smile: "Then I must settle down, after all, my real dream has been realized, and the prophecy is no longer so important." ”

"So Tsunade." Orochimaru turned to Tsunade this time: "In order to keep this fool from being fooled by the ethereal prophecy, you can also stay and help us, you see, this fool also wants a stable life, we can, together we can work in this direction." ”

"Huh." Tsunade chuckled indifferently.

With his hands on his chest, his face flushed, he burped.

"What a fool."

"Haha."

Jiraiya scratched his head with a dry smile.

Just when he thought that Tsunade was once again declining such an invitation.

Tsunade's head tilted to the other side.

"I'll just accompany you."

Jiraiya was pleasantly surprised, and his eyes widened too suddenly.

"After all, Jiraiya is such a fool, if you let it go, I really don't know what kind of mess it will cause."

Jiraiya took a sharp breath, and suddenly his face was a little red and he looked away.

He sensed that Tsunade really cared about him.

Plop, plop.

"So, here is the celebration of the reunion of our three ninjas."

Orochimaru toasts here.

"Cheers!"

The three of them clinked glasses again.
