Hokage’s strongest sword

Although Nangong Tetsu has stayed in Konoha for a long time, he is not the kind of person who likes to hang out with other people. Except for Nangong Zhe, a famous commercial street in Konoha, who is still familiar with it, other places only know the general directions. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Nangong Tetsu doesn’t make friends so widely in Konoha?

The map Minato gave Nangong Zhe basically marked Konoha’s large and small taverns and bathing pools. As a village with a relatively small population, it can be said that there are quite a few such entertainment venues. And it may be that Nangong Tetsu’s luck was not so good, and he didn’t find Jiraiya after walking around Konoha for half a circle.

Nangongzhe also felt a little tired, so he casually sat on a bench by the side of the road, ready to sit down and have a rest. Looking at the hurried pedestrians in front of him and the green trees and grass around him, Nangongzhe suddenly felt very comfortable. The tasks that I still care about and other troublesome things are temporarily excluded by Nangong Zhe from his head.

“Forget it… Anyway, there is no rush. According to my speculation, Orochimaru’s plan must be at least in the second half of the Chunin exam. At that time, all important talents will gather. This time is the best time to act. The timing. Even if I have found Jirai now, with Orochimaru’s hiding method, it is not so easy for anyone to find it, isn’t it?”

Perhaps because he convinced himself, Nangong Zhe also took out the sapphire gourd that had been hanging behind his back, opened the stopper and began to drink slowly.

The sapphire gourd contained the lost drunken wine. The drunken wine originally from the exiled senior had been consumed by Nangongzhe. Under the urging of the wine bug in his stomach, Nangongzhe disposed of it when he was in Xueyi Pavilion. After finishing the business, he has been staring at the green wood altar, hoping that the green wood altar can brew the drunken fairy wine. After referring to many ancient books in Xueyi Pavilion, I finally made a wine similar to Zuixianniang.

As soon as the cork was opened, the aroma of the wine wafted out of the sapphire gourd. Different from ordinary wine, the aroma of the wine brewed by Zui Xian actually formed a white mist in the air, drifting towards the surroundings. The people passing by Nangongzhe just smelled the aroma of the wine coming out of Yiyi, and unexpectedly, many of them had a little pink face, looking like they were drunk.

Many people had noticed that the sapphire gourd in Nangongzhe’s hand was the source of the aroma of the wine, but even though Nangongzhe was just sitting there, the residents of Konoha still noticed how extraordinary Nangongzhe was. As members of Konoha, although they may not have average strength, their eyesight is extremely accurate.

Although many people were moved, they realized that Nangongzhe’s strength must be good, so they didn’t dare to disturb him. If you don’t believe me, just look at a group of people squatting behind a tree on the corner opposite Nangongzhe, poking their noses vigorously, hoping to smell the drunken wine in Nangongzhe’s hands, and you will know, right?

Nangongzhe didn’t bother to pay attention to these people, he just took his sapphire gourd and poured a sip of fine wine into his mouth from time to time.

Just when Nangongzhe had already drank the wine in Nangongzhe’s mouth, just when he was about to lift up the sapphire gourd and hand it to his forehead again, a hand stretched out from behind Nangongzhe, holding Nangongzhe His wrist was grasped.

“Hey, hey… don’t waste this kind of wine, children, let me taste it for you.”

The speaker’s tone was very slutty, like a madman who didn’t care about anything. And Nangong Zhe also saw a strand of hair belonging to the person behind him on his shoulder, which was a strand of long white hair. So Nangong Zhe looked back, and there was a man with two lines of red oil paint on his face, some messy long white hair, and the word ‘oil’ written on his forehead was standing behind him.

“I said, Master Ziraiya…you haven’t seen me for such a long time, why come up and grab my drink?”Jiraiya also lowered his head to look at Nangong Zhe, as if he didn’t recognize Nangong Zhe, he just cast his eyes on the sapphire gourd again.

“I don’t know why today, there is a kid who has been haunting the tavern and the bathing pool. In order not to let this kid cause me trouble, I endured it for a long time and just didn’t show up… But the kid actually produced such a good wine. You can’t miss it, can you?”

Although Zilai kept calling him a ‘boy’ and a ‘little devil’, Nan Gongzhe knew that his plan to find him was actually Zilai’s own. But maybe Zilai is not so clear about the reason why he is looking for him, so Nangong Zhe also said to Zilai:

“Actually, the boy originally wanted to find a senior to drink. But after searching for a long time, he didn’t find this senior at all. You can wait for anything, but you can’t wait for good wine, right? Since I can’t find it, then I will I had no choice but to enjoy it myself. After all… a snake quietly came to the edge of the tree. Naturally, I, who was leaning against the tree, wanted to enjoy myself in time. This snake wanted to put my back against it. This is a broken snake what……”

When Zilai also heard the word ‘snake’, the hand holding Nangongzhe’s wrist also trembled, as if he hadn’t thought of it. Therefore, Jiraiya’s expression also became serious.

“You mean, a snake has arrived at Konoha?”

“Not only that, but many people also came to Konoha with the snake. They came with saws and axes. But there are really few people who take care of the tree now, so I came here hoping to find someone who would be with me. Let’s take care of this big tree together…”

Nangongzhe said to Zilai, but the expressions of both of them were clear, obviously Zilai had already realized the importance of the matter. There is actually a group of people under the leadership of Orochimaru who want to destroy Konoha? Although Jiraiya also left Konoha due to various reasons, but few people can match the former Sannin’s feelings for Konoha.

“It seems that Minato asked you to come to me? I also came back because I heard some rumors, but didn’t I think that the situation has reached such a point? Since Minato asked you to come to me, then I can’t refuse, I’ll go to Hokage’s office right now, and I’ll come to you for a drink after I find out the situation…”

After finishing speaking, Jiraiya jumped onto a nearby roof and ran towards Hokage’s office.
