Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The Country of Fire, an unknown town.

Jiraiya, who had white hair, walked on the road with a depressed look on his face, and kept complaining in a low voice:

"The Great Toad Immortal really called me to Miaomu Mountain in a hurry.

It doesn’t explain the characteristics of the man who will destroy the ninja world;

Apart from knowing how to harness natural energy, I know absolutely nothing about it, so how can I find it..."

Jiraiya looked distressed. Even if he wanted to eliminate this person in advance, he felt unable to do so.

After the Great Toad Immortal told him the seriousness of the matter, he became very concerned;

I traveled to many places in the past few days but found nothing;

I feel like a headless fly, unless I get lucky,

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find this person who wants to destroy the ninja world for a while;

Even Nagato, who was once thought to be the child of destiny and possessed the Samsara Eye,

He met him accidentally in some nook and cranny of the Kingdom of Rain;

Maybe he had to rely on luck to bump into this person, otherwise it would be difficult to gain anything through his purposeful search.

After these days of useless work, Jiraiya's mentality gradually relaxed and he was no longer as anxious as when he first heard about it.

"Forget it, I'll stick to my usual rhythm.

Traveling around and collecting materials, you may find an unexpected harvest one day. "

"Even if there is any accident, I, Lord Toad Sage Jiraiya, will suppress everything."

"Hahaha, hahaha",

Jiraiya, who wanted to understand, laughed out loud, ignoring the sideways glances of passers-by.

Then the laughter stopped, and an unusually vulgar expression appeared on his face.

My eyes were darting around, looking for the next place to collect materials.

At this moment, a group of big men ran past and kept shouting:

"Quick, quick!"

"The big fat sheep is here, hurry up and win money!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of people whizzed past Jiraiya, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hearing that Tsunade was also in this town, Jiraiya immediately returned to his normal expression.

A trace of recollection flashed across his face, and then he followed the people running ahead.

A moment later, Jiraiya's figure appeared in a casino.

I saw in front of me a man with golden twin tails and a green coat with a big word "GAM" on the back;

The mind is extremely broad, with most of the white ball exposed, and the clothes are about to burst;

It was the Senju Princess Tsunade Hime that Jiraiya had been missing.

At this time, Tsunade was completely immersed in the atmosphere of gambling, her face was red,

From time to time he would take a sip of sake, stare at the dice cup on the table, and keep shouting

"big big big!".

Obviously, the points awarded at the next moment will only be small.

But Tsunade didn't care at all and continued to spend money to buy big. There was not much money left in front of her.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade who was exactly the same as in his impression.

It seems that nothing has changed, and yet something seems to have changed;

All of this, I'm afraid only he himself knows clearly.

He walked up to Tsunade and said hello casually like an old friend.

"Hey, Tsunade, long time no see!"

Tsunade looked sideways and saw it was Jiraiya. She made a cut and then returned:

"So it's you, Jiraiya. You haven't returned to the village for so many years.

Your apprentice Minato misses you very much. "

Then he stretched out his white and tender right hand and said urgently:

"Do you have any money? Lend me some. I can definitely win this one!"

Jiraiya shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was not doing any tasks now and there was no bounty.

Coupled with the lavish travel expenses, all previous savings have been basically spent.

However, he believes that as long as the novel he is writing is published, he will definitely make a lot of money.

Tsunade glanced sideways at Jiraiya, curled her lips and said:

"You're a single old man and you don't even have any savings. Did you spend all your money on drinking wine?"

At this time, the dice cup was opened again, and it was still small. Tsunade waved her hands with a depressed look on her face;

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not in the mood to gamble anymore.

In another place, you should have the money to buy me a drink. "

Jiraiya nodded, and then he and Tsunade came to a quiet tavern.

After each drank a glass of sake, Jiraiya started chatting:

"Tsunade, if you don't stay in Konoha, why do you have time to come out and gamble?"

Tsunade took another big sip and said with some slurred speech:

"There isn't much going on in the medical department, and Orochimaru is nowhere to be seen all day long.

You are not in the village all year round, and the old man feels more and more annoying.

There were not many familiar peers in the village, so I felt bored, so I came out to get some fresh air..."

Tsunade couldn't stop opening her mouth and poured out her bitterness to Jiraiya.

All the frustrations of the past years were expressed through the wine.

Jiraiya didn't interrupt, just quietly acted as an audience,

Listening to Tsunade's nonsense, she didn't feel any impatience;

On the contrary, it felt a little warm, as if I was back when I was a child, when the two of them, plus Orochimaru, got along.

It's just that the three of them have experienced too many things, and they know that they can't go back to the past.

That guy Orochimaru became more and more mysterious and cold, and he didn't know what he was doing secretly;

And Tsunade, her lover Kato Dan and his brother Naoki all died in the last ninja war;

Kato Dan died in front of her, his hands were stained with blood and he could not be saved.

The rope tree's internal organs were hollowed out and disappeared.

Not only did he lose all his relatives, he also suffered from hemophobia.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart;

At that time, he didn't know how to comfort Tsunade who was in extreme grief.

He didn't dare to reveal his hidden feelings, and in the end he could only escape like a coward.

Stay away from Konoha Village and wander around.

'If I had stayed in Konoha Village, maybe it would have been another ending...'

Jiraiya was filled with sentimentality for a moment, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and took a long gulp of wine.

It was getting dark, and the table was filled with densely packed wine bottles.

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to have poured out all the pain in her chest.

My mood has improved a lot and is back to normal.

"Why are you here this time? Could it be that something happened to the village and you came to me specifically?"

Jiraiya quickly waved his hand and replied:

"Don't worry, the village is fine. I just heard about the big fat sheep, so I came here to take a look."

Then, his face became serious and he said solemnly:

"A few days ago, the Great Toad Sage predicted that the ninja world would be destroyed because of one person.

I have been looking for traces of this person for the past few days, but I have found nothing. "

When Tsunade heard this, she quickly sat up. She also asked about it from Slug Sage,

I know that old toad does have some prophecy ability,

It was about the safety of the shinobi world, and she couldn't tolerate it.

You can ignore the rest of the place, but as the treasure passed down by grandpa - Konoha Village,

No matter what, she would not let the village be destroyed;

Even if it costs your life, you must protect the village.

Tsunade looked solemn and asked solemnly:

"I'll also pay attention to what characteristics that person has.

When he returned to Konoha, he also mobilized the village's power to search for him. "

"That person can use natural energy and knows nothing about the rest."

Jiraiya said a little dejectedly, after all, it was really difficult to find someone based on this alone.

"Is it natural energy? I know, I will pay attention to it."

Tsunade nodded, and then she and Jiraiya drank for a while before leaving.

Tsunade returns to the village, while Jiraiya continues on his own unknown journey.
