Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

"I didn't expect Jiraiya to come back at this time. Fortunately, you are back." Tsunade said this from the bottom of her heart.

For things like going to the battlefield, only the two of them can achieve the most tacit cooperation. They have been doing combination training since graduating from the ninja school, and they can understand each other's meaning with just one movement and one look.

On the battlefield, it will be very difficult if you don't have a tacit companion by your side.

"Just as suddenly as when I left, my return will be just as sudden." Orochimaru said and glanced at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was training at Mt. Myoboku, but one day he was told that the Great Toad Sage had dreamed of a prophecy about him, saying that he would become the teacher of the "son of prophecy" who would change the ninja world, and he would guide the son of prophecy to make the right decisions. The chosen one.

It was from that time that Jiraiya embarked on the road to travel around the ninja world. Just as Tsunade left the village that day to learn medical ninjutsu from Natsuki and increase his own experience, so did Jiraiya.

Over the years, he has been staying in the village with Hiruzen and has done a lot of tasks, but when it comes to life experience, he doesn't have much practical experience. He lives step by step day after day, and his thoughts are still a bit naive.

This kind of him is not enough to guide the children of prophecy correctly.

"So, have you gained useful life experience over the past year?"

As long as we don't talk about the war and talk about other things, the atmosphere can finally be a little lighter.

Jiraiya took a sip of beer and thought about his experiences over the past year. He went to many places and met many people. He discovered that outside of Konoha, the world was not so peaceful and peaceful. War, disaster, poverty, and hunger have created one tragedy after another.

"Maybe I know the meaning of peace."

If I have to say it, this is it.

In the past, those who lived in Konoha only had a superficial desire for peace. If you had not lived in a country prone to war, you would not know how deep the pain caused by war is.

Empathy does not exist in this world. You will never feel the pain unless a knife is stabbed in your body.

Everyone talks about longing for peace. If you say it too much and listen too much, it becomes a kind of politically correct mandarin.

But only when you are actually in the midst of war can you realize what peace really means.

Once complained by the giant toad sage that he was good for nothing but lust, Jiraiya finally realized that he wanted to become stronger not just to attract the attention of the girl he liked and let her date him.

He should have other uses, such as guiding the children of prophecy, protecting the people he cares about, and protecting the village.

If Konoha was reduced to a battlefield one day, and the fighting was raging... Jiraiya couldn't imagine that kind of time.

"Peace has always felt like an inherent noun that has always been there. I didn't expect that we would stand in front of it and do what we must protect it." Tsunade felt a little sad.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, actually, when I think about it, I really like walking around and writing books on the way."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows inadvertently and showed a smile that was so faint that it was almost invisible. He looked at Jiraiya and said with some doubts: "Are you writing a book? Just rely on the boring things you have been doing these years, Jiraiya." What can I write about the matter, and will it teach readers bad things?”

Jiraiya is no longer the one who was angered by Orochimaru with just a few words. He has become a lot more mature and stable after returning from his travels.

He laughed out loud and shook a finger at Orochimaru.

He said: "Stop looking down on me. As a writer, I am very serious, okay?"

After saying that, he touched his arms and his face suddenly fell a little, but soon he laughed again, "Ah, I forgot to bring it with me today. I will give you a copy another day to open your eyes and read my masterpiece." !”

Tsunade frowned slightly and asked him: "What is it about?"

"Hmm...probably how to pursue girls." Orochimaru rarely made a joke, but because of his serious expression, the joke sounded like truth.

Tsunade's brows furrowed even more tightly. She really believed that Jiraiya would write such a thing.

"Well, since you think of me so much, I won't spoil it for you. I'll surprise you when I give it to you!"

"Do not believe."

"I don't believe it either."

Jiraiya is a little frustrated. Is he really nothing but lustful in the eyes of others?

"It's about ninjas, how to live and die, the meaning of ninjas..."

As soon as this was mentioned, it seemed that the original serious topic had returned, and visible depression appeared on the faces of the three people again.

"Speaking of which, you should have had the consciousness to go to war the day you became a genin." Orochimaru does not drink but is a very qualified pourer. He holds a bottle in his hand and fills the glasses for Jiraiya and Tsunade. Full.

Tsunade pouted and said unclearly: "That's right, but..."

She once again thought of the scene she saw in the Kikyo Mountain Cemetery. Rows of ninja corpses were lying there. All of them were sent back from the battlefield, alive, and sent back dead.

Ninjas must have the awareness to sacrifice for missions and wars. However, before they are ninjas, they are first and foremost human beings. Fear is human instinct in the face of death.

The scenes in the Platycodon Hill Cemetery are really shocking. War and death are almost synonymous. There will be a large number of casualties for both the defeated and victorious parties.

After a bottle of beer was finished, the three fell silent again.

Hiruzen didn't find Jiraiya at his house, so he naturally thought of Orochimaru. When he came, the three students' faces were all ugly. They sat there depressed like three mushrooms emitting poisonous gas. .

"Master Sarutobi..."

Even the voice calling him became weak.

Hiruzen had never seen these three children show such expressions. Compared with when he was a child, they had not actually experienced war, so fear was a normal reaction.

However, Hiruzen looked at them and showed a serious expression for the first time.

"With the determination to protect the village and your companions, you will have nothing to fear."

"..."

"You three are my best disciples. You are wise, courageous, and capable. What you are about to do is to protect the Fire Nation and Konoha."

Hiruzen looked into their eyes, and all three students were listening to him carefully.

"The reason why people are strong is because they know what they are fighting for. The reason why people have nostalgia in this world is because they have bonds, bonds with parents, bonds with brothers and sisters, bonds with friends and teachers, The bond with my companions..."

"And the power comes from this. If you want to protect them, you will force yourself to become stronger. If you want to protect them, you will no longer be afraid when facing the enemy."

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, even if we are on different battlefields, we are still fighting side by side. For our parents, relatives, and companions, those fears will become a steady stream of strength."

"teacher……"

A smile finally broke out on Hiruzen's serious face, and he looked at the three of them and nodded solemnly.

He said: "I will be here waiting for you to come back, children, you must... come back."
