After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"Tsunade, we still need to speak with one voice. If anyone asks, let it be known that Yusuke has gone to practice in secret."

After Tsunade confirmed it, Nara Shikama spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"How to practice?"

Tsunade frowned and asked with a puzzled look on her face. Nara Shikama hurriedly explained:

"Just say that Yusuke went to the Wet Bone Forest to practice in seclusion, so he resigned from the position of Hokage."

Tsunade was silent for a moment and said:

"Can such a reason be hidden from others?"

Uchiha Fugaku on the side interrupted and said, "This is the only way to deal with it for now, Fifth Hokage. The situation with Orochimaru is still unclear, and the Fourth Hokage's situation cannot be leaked, otherwise other countries will definitely be ready to make a move."

Hinata Hiashi also echoed: "Yes, Fifth Hokage. The situation is tense now. We cannot give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, let's just say that for now. But this is not a long-term solution."

"We have already thought of a comprehensive reason for this, but we still need your final confirmation, Lady Tsunade."

Nara Shikama emphasized again.

"it is good!"

Tsunade nodded helplessly. She knew that retreat and training often took a long time, and such an excuse could temporarily stabilize the situation.

She knew very well that if other countries were to discover Yusuke's current condition, they would probably quickly take advantage of the opportunity to start another war.

What's more, Uchiha Obito and Nagato are now eyeing them covetously. I believe they will use all means and spare no effort to get rid of such a powerful opponent like Yusuke.

"I want to do some tests to find out what drug Orochimaru injected into Yusuke!"

Tsunade's eyes were firm and her tone was resolute. She was determined to find out the truth.

Senju Taichi said: "Five-Daime Hokage, we have stepped up the tests at the medical department, but there are no definite results yet..."

"Okay, but please ask the Fifth Hokage to come back later and take the Fourth Hokage home. After all, you are the only one who can get close to him now."

Nara Shikama said earnestly.

Tsunade nodded slightly:

"I understand. I will deal with these matters as soon as possible."

The small stone in everyone's heart had temporarily fallen to the ground, but the heavy stone was still hanging high in their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

......

"Orochimaru, why did you do this? I heard about your story. Yusuke values ​​you so much that he would give you whatever you want without hesitation. Why? Why did you want to assassinate Yusuke and choose this path of no return?"

When Jiraiya saw that Orochimaru had stopped attacking, he shouted angrily, his voice full of anger and confusion.

"Jiraiya, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Orochimaru looked up at the sky and did not directly respond to Jiraiya's question. His sudden change of topic instantly interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts.

“Isn’t life just about birth, aging, sickness and death?”

Jiraiya frowned and answered subconsciously.

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru chuckled, his laughter was filled with endless indifference and ridicule, "So, we have never been on the same path."

"You haven't answered my question yet, Orochimaru."

Jiraiya clasped his hands together, trying hard to concentrate his senjutsu chakra, staring intently at Orochimaru, questioning him non-stop in an attempt to delay time.

Orochimaru noticed Jiraiya's little action, but pretended not to see it. He slowly replied:

"I left in such a hurry that I forgot about the child in the laboratory. He will give you the answers you want."

A child? Jiraiya remembered the child. Time was too short. Before the child could answer, he and Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly tracked him down.

"What about Yusuke? Why did you want to assassinate him?"

"Because he is too powerful, I gave him an equally powerful power. But if he cannot bear it, he might be killed by this power."

Jiraiya's face was full of ferocity as he looked at his former companion in disbelief. Was it because of such a ridiculous reason?

"What power?"

Jiraiya asked, resisting the urge to rush forward and beat up Orochimaru.

"Sage body, it's like you've turned on Sage Mode."

"Did Yusuke ask you to do this?"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya as if he were an ignorant child, "If that's what he meant, do I still need to defect?"

"Then what is your purpose in doing this?"

Jiraiya could no longer suppress his inner rage and roared out loudly. He was just a little bit away from succeeding the magic technique.

"I used Yusuke as my experimental material, hehe..."

"asshole!"

At this moment, feeling that the time was almost up, Orochimaru suddenly launched an extremely fierce attack towards Jiraiya without any warning.

Jiraiya quickly jumped onto Gamabunta who was not far away. At this time, Gamabunta was already covered with wounds and traces of battle.

Manda's situation is similar. If it wasn't facing its mortal enemy Gamabunta, it would have escaped long ago.

Orochimaru also jumped lightly onto the top of Manzan. Manzan immediately looked up. Although it couldn't see Orochimaru, it lowered its voice and said viciously:

"Orochimaru, in addition to a hundred human sacrifices, I also want to eat a toad!"

"Jiraiya, go back and catch me a hundred snakes. I need to practice my sword skills!"

Neither of them responded to the requests made by their spirit beasts.

At this time, Jiraiya's senjutsu chakra was ready, and his body began to change slowly.

He bit his finger and quickly pressed it on Gamabunta's head.

Fukasaku and Shima show up again, but this time Shima isn't as grumbling.

"I'm sorry, my two immortals. If you can, capture him. If not, kill him."

Jiraiya turned into a toad, stood on all fours, and stared at Orochimaru with cold eyes.

"The snake in the Ryuchi Cave?"

Fukasaku and Shima of Myōbokusan recognized the Manda in front of them at a glance.

You know, Myobokusan, Ryuchi Cave, and Shigulin are of equal status, so they are naturally familiar with each other.

After seeing them, Manzo was so spineless that he directly cancelled the summoning technique, and Orochimaru's figure slowly fell down uncontrollably.

"Xiao Wentai, you should go back and heal your wounds first."

Fukasaku said to Gamabunta with a calm expression.

"Got it, old man, be careful."

Gamabunta agreed immediately.

boom!

As a cloud of smoke rose, Gamabunta's figure also disappeared.

Shima sensed it, quickly pointed in a direction, and said, "He's over there!"
