Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

As Jiraiya's companion and friend for many years, Orochimaru believed that he knew him quite well.

Jiraiya has always liked to chat with people everywhere, just like an old lady who loves to chat. He also likes to be kind from time to time. I guess he is comforting the frustrated Nagato now.

If any other ninja did this kind of thing, it would be very outrageous, but if it was Jiraiya, Orochimaru would think it was normal.

After all... this guy's personality is just like that.

A goody-goody.

With a personality like his, he wouldn't have survived long in the ninja world, and it would have been difficult for him to even live to become a jonin.

If it weren't for his own genius, and the secret care of himself and Tsunade...

Orochimaru shook his head and discarded the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

Forget it. As a man who will be the Hokage in the future, I should be more tolerant towards my fellow villagers.

On the contrary, Tsunade felt something was wrong and walked over with a frown: "Jiraiya, what are you doing..."

She didn't pay attention to Nagato, but her woman's intuition told her that Jiraiya was a little abnormal.

So I came over to see what was going on.

"Cough cough!"

Jiraiya was startled and coughed loudly twice, then walked forward and pushed the two men out of the door.

"You guys came just in time. I just happened to have something to tell you! Come on, let's go outside and talk. Nagato, you should go back to your room and rest. If you're in a bad mood, chat with your friends instead of being alone."

"Oh……"

Nagato was a little dazed, not understanding why Jiraiya did this, but he still obediently returned to his room.

And outside the door.

Before Jiraiya could even open his mouth, Orochimaru and Tsunade informed him of their plans to return to Konoha.

"Let's go back to Konoha..."

After receiving this news, Jiraiya looked a little conflicted.

Konoha is currently lacking in combat power, the Hidden Cloud Village is eyeing them covetously, and the battle in the Hidden Sand Village has not yet ended...

If it was the old Jiraiya, he would have agreed without hesitation, but now...

He suddenly remembered what the Great Toad Immortal once said.

[You will be faced with a difficult choice, and this choice will lead the ninja world to light or darkness. ]

Is this when that choice comes?

Jiraiya suddenly had an epiphany and suddenly understood.

Then his expression firmed up.

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, I won't be going back yet."

"Ok?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, not understanding why his friend would choose this way.

The purpose of him telling Jiraiya all this was to finish things here quickly and then return to Konoha quickly!

Unexpectedly, my good friend said he didn’t want to go back?

Even Orochimaru was a little stunned at this moment.

"Jiraiya! What are you talking about?"

Tsunade was also surprised and her face turned slightly red with anxiety.

"If you're not going back to Konoha, where are you going?"

"Now is the time to use people. If you don't go back..."

Tsunade was a little anxious. As the princess of the Senju family, she knew a lot of inside information and also understood some rules of power better.

If he goes back now, with Jiraiya's strength, he will definitely be able to accumulate strong political capital and the support of a large number of people.

And if I don’t go back, I will attract more criticism!

"Tsunade, I have made my decision."

Jiraiya's eyes were extremely determined: "This is what I wanted to tell you. I will stay here and teach those three children so that they can have the means to survive in this chaotic world. It won't take much time, just two months."

"……OK then."

Orochimaru was originally against it, but when he heard that his friend wanted to teach his subordinates, he reluctantly agreed.

The level of Jiraiya's teaching may not be that high, but it is much better than that of an ordinary jonin.

Coupled with the ninjutsu scrolls that he left behind, it will surely be very beneficial to the growth of those three children.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru did not try to persuade him any further.

As for the crisis facing Konoha, Orochimaru did not think it was that dangerous. After all, Konoha was incredibly strong now!

There are the old men of the Third Generation, the powerful Hokage candidate himself, the recently famous Konoha White Fang, the old scoundrel Danzo who is operating in secret, and the young generation of strong men from various clans.

No problem!

This is a good opportunity for Jiraiya to have a good rest.

In the previous battlefield, Orochimaru could see that Jiraiya was actually the one who was most affected.

He could study the meaning of life, and Tsunade could delve deeper into medical ninjutsu.

As for Jiraiya, the kind of free life he pursues is destined to be incompatible with the profession of ninja.

So, maybe this is good...

"Hey, Orochimaru!" Tsunade looked unhappy: "Why did you let Jiraiya stay here alone?"

She was very insistent: "There were three of us when we came, and there must be three of us when we leave!"

"Not even one less will do!"

"Don't say that, Tsunade. My disciples will go back with us."

Orochimaru smiled and looked at Jiraiya: "Besides, it's rare that he likes the child named Nagato so much."

"What's the harm in letting him teach you more?"

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat when he heard Orochimaru say this.

Did he see something?

wrong!

Jiraiya quickly denied his own inference.

If Orochimaru really saw something, he would not hand these three children over to him so easily.

You know, that is the legendary Rinnegan!

The legendary power of immortals!

It actually appears in this country.

This is something no one could have imagined, not even Orochimaru.

"..."

Tsunade shook her head: "Since you have all decided, I won't say anything."

Women are all emotional, but as a ninja, Tsunade is able to quickly calm herself down after being emotional.

"Tell the kids the decision."

Thinking about Ito Toru, Tsunade's mood improved.

With younger generations like this, Konoha's future is still bright!

After one hour.

Everyone gathered around the table and drank porridge again.

"I'm going back."

When Toru Ito heard the news that he was going to return, he was delighted!

He appeared calm on the surface these days, but he was extremely panicked inside.

After all, this country has provoked the demigod Hanzo, and even Ito Toru couldn't think of any good way to fight him for a while.

It couldn't be better to be able to return to Konoha now!

Great!

However, Yahiko and the other two looked reluctant. They lowered their heads and drank their porridge in a depressed mood.

Yuina also had a gloomy face, and looked like she was not happy to go back like this.

"Can't you stay a little longer..."

“I feel like I haven’t done enough.”

She muttered.
