Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 113 Tsunade
Sixty-one years of Konoha.

winter.

Before we knew it, a year had passed since Hinata Yuzuru became Hokage.

He has gradually become accustomed to living as Hokage in the Konoha Village that is gradually becoming brand new.

Gradually, I was able to find my own balance between work, life and spiritual practice.

As expected, a lot of troubles arose during the reform process, but Hyuga Yuzuru forced it through as the Hokage, and no one could stop him. At this moment, the Third Generation had completely gone into seclusion, and Konoha's administrative department had also undergone a large number of personnel changes.

Except for the three departments related to the Uchiha clan, Hyuga Yuzuru has not yet completely transformed. The remaining departments have basically completed his goal of initial construction of Konoha.

Even though he was still the temporary Hokage in terms of status, he ignored the many 'summons' from the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion and had not even carved the Hokage Rock.

But Hyuga Yuzuru's influence has gradually spread through these means.

When his ruling team benefited from his tenure and the major families showed a tendency to rely on the Fifth Hokage, Hyuga Yuzuru completely took control of Konoha's core power structure.

The only parts that need to be eliminated are the old men and women left over from the third generation, mainly Mito Kadeni and Koharu, as well as some of the rights currently held by the Uchiha clan.

As long as these old men and ladies can be given a 'decent' farewell, the Uchiha clan's affairs can be perfectly resolved.

Hinata Yuzuru is expected to become the new Hokage with the greatest control over Konoha since the Second Hokage.

At that point, he would be free to completely transform Konoha from start to finish.

It's a pity that some opportunities are needed, whether it is for those old people to make a dignified exit or for the Uchiha clan to completely 'return'.

Hyuga Yuzuru is not in a hurry. He is still young and has endless potential. Time will always stand by his side.

Every day, his body was undergoing subtle, imperceptible changes. Today, with the help of the return of life, he finally crossed the first difficult threshold on the road to becoming a "god".

He has completely mastered the power of Sage Mode.

Even though it was similar to the normal Sage Mode and couldn't be used for a long time, it was still a remarkable leap - after all, he had never sought help from any so-called 'Sages', but he had mastered the Sage Mode directly.

This means that his Sage Mode is unique, it is his own, and it is the Sage Mode that can best exert his own power.

Not only that, when his body has grown to the point where he can stably enter the immortal mode, his regular fighting ability has also stabilized. He can fight without having turned on the immortal mode and consuming a lot of natural chakra before the chakra is exhausted. A steady, ongoing fight.

However, the less chakra in his body, the worse his body balance will be. At this stage, the more intense the battle, the more likely it is that his body will be petrified. Moreover, when his evolution reaches this stage, the chakra in his body is already a bit insufficient.

The reason is naturally very simple - what flows in other people's bodies is complete chakra. When they enter the Sage Mode, they will absorb natural chakra for transformation, and use chakra and natural chakra to create Sage Chakra, so as to enter the Sage Mode.

As for Hinata Yuzuru, the chakra flowing in her body at this moment is no longer pure.

The essence of chakra, as Hyuga Yuzuru understands it, is the product of an equal mixture of self-spiritual energy and physical energy, and in Konoha's literature, there is another interesting statement.

The mixture of physical energy and mental energy produced by the 130 trillion cells in the body is called "physical energy", and "physical energy" is the basis for initiating physical skills.

This physical strength is converted into chakra in the body. After the ninja extracts the chakra, he can use the "jutsu" through the "seals".

No matter which understanding is correct, it cannot escape the fact that chakras come from cells in the human body.

However, as Hyuga Yuzuru transformed himself, his life characteristics have gradually changed. Not only did he show irreversible white hair and blue eyes in appearance, but his skin also became more and more... The texture is like white jade, and its toughness is far beyond ordinary people.

Muscle endurance, explosive power, and body resistance have gradually improved to levels unbelievable to ordinary people.

If viewed from the microscope of Konoha's Scientific Research Department, his cells are already obviously different from ordinary people in terms of shape.

This also meant that when he refined chakra, what he refined was not just ordinary blue chakra.

At this moment, there are three types of chakra flowing in Hinata Yuzuru's body.

One is natural energy that is absorbed into the body all the time, one is based on chakra extracted from the human body, and the other is the senjutsu chakra that is naturally born while refining chakra.

He does not need to synthesize it deliberately, but at the moment of refining, he will refine the magical chakra at the same time as the ordinary chakra.

This made the meridians in his body more resilient, and even allowed Hyuga Yuzuru to reach an astonishing sixth level of the Eight Gates without ever practicing the Eight Gates.

What a terrifying state this is?
But Hyuga Yuzuru didn't dare to use it - the large amount of chakra gushing out might be harmful to the body of ordinary ninja.

But the chakra that spewed out of his body was not just ordinary chakra! There was also a large amount of fairy chakra and even unconverted natural energy - if it got out of control, he would probably have to turn into Sun Wukong and become a stone to incubate for an unknown period of time before he could be "reborn".

And when Hyuga Yuzuru reaches such a state.

The evolution in his body entered another stage.

spirit.

If chakra is the weapon of the ninja, then the spirit is the hands and feet of the ninja. Without the control of the spirit, no matter how much chakra there is, it is meaningless.

The control of Yin Escape, Yang Escape, any advanced ninjutsu, and senjutsu is an extreme micro-manipulation of the chakra in the body. Only strong mental power can control the power in the body.

The most significant manifestation of mental improvement, or evolution, is the improvement of mental strength.

It is Hinata Yuzuru's Byakugan.

In other words, his eyes could no longer be called white eyes.

Even the system could not make an evaluation of his eyes. One could only see the words [Mutating] in the system's text.

However, even if the system is unable to evaluate the eyes at this moment, Hinata Yuzuru can still feel his increasingly abundant pupil power.

And as a result, he has greater control over the chakra in his body.

He even vaguely felt a force brewing in his eyes, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

After a battle or a flash of inspiration, it will jump out impatiently and loudly publicize its power to the world.

Hinata Yuzuru is very simple - he thinks that there is no need to use any techniques like Kamui or Kotoamatsukami, it would be enough for him to simply open something similar to Susanoo.

He really, really wants to go to Gaoda!

at the same time.

In the land of tea.

"Teacher Jiraiya, is Aunt Tsunade really in this country? I feel like this place is even more...than the Land of Hot Springs..."

Naruto was wearing an orange sports suit and followed Jiraiya. He held the back of his head with his hands in boredom and followed Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked around and said hummingly: "Based on the feedback from the casinos along the way and the debt collector's route analysis, she should have come all the way from Tang Country for gambling, and may plan to take a gambling boat all the way in the future. All the way across the sea to the Land of Rainbow.

Also, you'd better not call her mother-in-law. Neither can aunties or eldest aunts - even though she is almost the same age. "

Naruto listened but held his head high: "Can't you call me sister?"

"Can't you just address me as sir? You rude little brat."

Jiraiya muttered, and Naruto chuckled: "It's not impossible, as long as you can give me this hair-whitening ninjutsu, otherwise, I will tell Aunt Tsunade that you taught me to call her Auntie of.

And that’s true, you told me yourself that Tsunade is almost as old as an old lady.”

"Don't talk nonsense! Besides, my white hair is natural!"

"Brother Yuzuru's hair just turned white all of a sudden. It must be some powerful forbidden technique. Please teach it to me."

The two of them were chatting casually, and Jiraiya didn't feel bored with Naruto's "nagging". To be precise, Naruto was just making small talk, playing around and promoting their relationship.

Even though he was still the height of a kid, Naruto had learned to always pay attention to his surroundings when he spoke - in addition to the solid foundation laid by Jiraiya in the past year of training, the biggest gain was that he learned how to stay vigilant in the ninja world.

No matter how much the books say, for an experientialist like Naruto, it is not as useful as personal experience.

"Ah, here we are."

Jiraiya stopped.

Looking at the shop with the word "Gamble" hanging on it not far away from the street, he observed it for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "Finally found it."

"Eh? How did Jiraiya-sensei know that?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiraiya and grinned, and started to educate him with some sadness: "In fact, most of the traffic in casinos like this is fixed, especially in a country like the country of tea. A small country that is not rich.

But you see, in the current casino, there are people from the inside and the outside - everyone is excited, as if they have made money that they have never made in their lives.

There is only one possibility.

Otherwise, a master will come and kill everyone, making the dealer bleed.

Otherwise, Tsunade is going to lose big again."

Jiraiya said this and subconsciously covered his wallet.

God knows how much gambling debt he paid off by sneaking behind Tsunade!

If she hadn't been gambling everywhere, with her wealth, how could she have been so stingy as to treat Naruto to ramen? Well, saving!

"Oh! Is this the big fat sheep?" Naruto suddenly realized and quickened his pace in excitement: "Teacher! Hurry up, hurry up! If we find Lady Tsunade, we can go back."

In the year since leaving Konoha, Naruto has gained a deep understanding of the current situation in the ninja world.

Even though the war has subsided for several years, the wounds left by the war still leave the entire ninja world devastated.

Even though Jiraiya had intended to protect him and let Naruto see more good things, it was frustrating that the cruel tragedies that abounded in the ninja world were still seen everywhere.

That peaceful Konoha, even though there were still some people in Konoha who would secretly call him a demon fox, there were no children wandering the streets, no corpses exposed in the wilderness, and no wandering ninjas who were arrogant and domineering and treated human lives as nothing.

There are also many people he likes such as Yuzuru Hinata.

In this ninja world, sometimes, it’s not about comparing who is good, but who is bad.

After witnessing many tragedies, Naruto actually felt from the bottom of his heart that he seemed to be a lucky child.

At least, even though my parents died very early, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have a pretty good house to live in.

Although he was a little lonely when he was a child, when he grew up, he had the care of Yuzuru, Iruka-sensei and others.

Naruto was homesick.

He is still just a child after all.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto's appearance and sighed inwardly.

I'm afraid that things won't go as smoothly as Naruto expects.

What happened to Tsunade, and her current situation.

Jiraiya knew very well.

Naruto rushed to the entrance of the gambling house, but was stopped by two stray ninjas in front of the door.

"Kid, this is not the place you should be."

The wandering ninja said lazily, and drove Naruto away with an impatient look on his face.

Jiraiya's tall figure soon arrived. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Naruto's head, who looked a little unhappy. He looked at the wandering ninja and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

If you ask what these wandering ninjas who act as watchdogs are best at, it is naturally observing people's words and expressions.

Just when he saw Jiraiya, he could feel that he was not a good person. Even though he was wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil" on his head and couldn't see where he was coming from, he still had the face of a child when walking in the ninja world. , it can’t be a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Go in, don't cause trouble. Our store is guarded by jounin who defected from the Kingdom of Water." The wandering ninja warned and moved out of the way.

He didn't care at all whether young Naruto was suitable to enter this place.

Naruto snorted and stuck his head in, then was startled by the heat in the room.

At this moment, the narrow room was full of people, heads crowded together, and shouting could be heard everywhere.

"What did the big fat sheep press?"

"Don't block my way, I want to place a bet too!"

"Damn it, you poor guys, get out of here, I'm going to push back fifty thousand taels!"

"Three million taels! All-in! If you dare to do anything, I will twist off your head and stuff it under the table! I don't believe it. Seven hands have been small in a row. How can this one be small!?" A hit The energetic female voice was particularly loud among the crowd.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! She's pressing big!"

"Fifty thousand taels!"

"I'll give you 30,000 taels!"

"I'm asking for 200,000, 200,000 taels! This is my ancestral jade pendant! It's definitely worth 200,000 taels!"

"I'm crushing my house! Hey, you know where I live, right? I'm crushing my house, and I want to crush my little one!"

The crowd waved their money wildly, wishing they could throw themselves onto the gambling table.

Naruto was short and could only see a lot of butts dangling in front of his eyes. Seeing that he was anxious, Jiraiya simply pulled him up and let him ride on his neck to look inside.

Now you can see all the other mountains at a glance.

Naruto looked inside and saw a beautiful woman wearing a green coat and long golden hair shaking her legs nervously in front of the gambling table. On the long gambling table with big and small numbers written on it, on the side with small number written on it, she had a stack of cash worth three million, and on the other side...
Some people even suppressed their wedding rings.

The dealer was grinning from ear to ear - this was the first time, they didn't even need to cheat or go fishing, they just needed to be honest and easily roll the dice a few times to make money.

Even though there are a lot of people there, this is a casino, and winning or losing doesn't matter. If these rotten gamblers can win 50 million in one go, they can still make profits and lose their wives and children.

Not to mention, they will also take a cut, so you can definitely make a profit!
"That beautiful sister is Tsunade!?"

Naruto was a little in disbelief.

At this time, next to Tsunade, Shizune was holding a piglet with a calm face, staring at the money on the table with dead eyes, without any sadness or joy.

got used to.

Anyway, I've lost, so it's over.

Haha, haha, (￣︶￣).

"Yeah." Jiraiya hummed, not in a hurry to go over.

When Tsunade was gambling, she went to her and emptied her wallet.
The best outcome would be to wait until she has lost everything and then offer to treat her to a meal. This way there is a greater chance that she will be patient enough to have a good chat with him.

After just a few dozen seconds, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.

"It's Xiao! It's Xiao!"

"Hahahahaha! I'm rich!"

"Wuhu!"

Tsunade looked at the gambling table with a dull expression, and grabbed the dice and wooden barrel in disbelief to check them, but the fact was - the dealer really did nothing.

She had been studying for many years and already had rich experience in inspecting gambling equipment. She knew after just one reading that this time, she still relied on her own strength to perform steadily and lose all her money.

"Damn it!" Tsunade wanted to smash the table with one punch.

After calming down, Tsunade reached out to her side without raising her head: "Shizune! Take another five million!"

"No more, Lady Tsunade, there is really nothing left." Shizune's voice was numb. When she saw Tsunade looking at the little piglet Tuntun in her arms, especially at the pearl necklace hanging on Tuntun's neck, her expression finally changed.

"No! These are the only things that are absolutely not allowed!"

Tsunade watched Shizune hug the piglet in panic, and the pink piglet named Tuntun looked at her in horror. She pouted in frustration: "Tsk, forget it, I don't want to play anymore! I have bad luck today!"

Just be happy.

Shizune let out a long sigh.

The crowd still lingered and shouted: "Don't leave!"

"Big fat sheep, please play a few more games! Two more games and my gambling debt will be paid off!"

"Will you come again tomorrow? When will you come again?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go!"

Tsunade pushed the crowd with a cold face, and the huge force made the group of hopeless gamblers sober up a little, and recalled that the "big fat sheep" in front of them, in addition to the reputation of fat sheep, also has the word "big".

Uh, it means very powerful!

Rumor has it that even a jonin could be knocked into the ground with one punch from her.

The crowd heartily moved out of the way, and it was only then that Tsunade finally noticed Jiraiya, who was standing outside the crowd carrying Naruto.

Tsunade subconsciously looked away at first with a guilty look, and then raised her chin confidently: "Hey, Jiraiya, I haven't seen you for a while, where did you get this little brat from?"

"Let's talk about it outside." Jiraiya is a good man who can remain calm even when facing a huge crisis, but he is a little nervous when facing Tsunade.

Tsunade snorted and chuckled twice, then moved closer to him and first looked Naruto up and down.

"Hello, Lady Tsunade!" Naruto grinned and got off Jiraiya's neck.

Just make this old aunt happy and let her go back to Konoha with you - you can go home!

Tsunade uttered an "oh" and said nonchalantly, "Are you here to see me?"

"Ah."

"We are here to take you back to Konoha!"

Naruto said bluntly.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed.

She looked at Jiraiya, her originally unruly expression turned more serious, she carefully studied Jiraiya's expression for a few times, confirmed that what Naruto said was true, and then rolled her eyes.

"Shizune, let's go!"

Shizune didn't even have time to say hello to Jiraiya.

Tsunade quickened her pace and was already planning to leave.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Naruto didn't say a word and pounced on Tsunade's legs like a hungry tiger.

Tsunade was afraid of hurting him, so she didn't move away, allowing him to grab the corner of her green coat.

"Kid, what are you going to do? If you don't go back, I have no interest in returning to Konoha! No matter what you say, I don't plan to go back, so don't waste time!"

Tsunade said impatiently several times that she would not go back, firmly stating her intentions.

Naruto frowned, "Why? Isn't Lady Tsunade a ninja of Konoha? It was the Hokage who wanted you to go back. As a ninja, you should obey the Hokage's orders, right?"

"The old man from the Third Generation? Who cares about him." Tsunade curled her lips and casually bent her slender white fingers, which made Naruto feel a huge force. He let go of his hand without any resistance.

"Jiraiya, take care of your little devil, otherwise, I will really use my strength!"

Tsunade wanted to leave without looking back, but Jiraiya quickened his pace and stopped her in the middle of the road.

The two looked at each other, Tsunade's expression became more and more impatient, and completely cold: "What do you want to do, Jiraiya."

"Even if you want to refuse, there's no need to do this, right?" Jiraiya looked at him, his face no longer as casual as before.

He said in a deep voice: "I'll treat you to a meal and have a good chat together, okay?" Tsunade wanted to refuse, but two grunts were heard behind her.

Naruto turned his head and met Shizune's eyes.

The two of them simultaneously covered their stomachs with their hands, their faces slightly blushing.

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "Say it first! I have no money, not even a dime!"

"It's my treat." Jiraiya said helplessly.

A few of them found a restaurant and sat down.

Tsunade picked up the menu, glanced at it for a few times, and then said carelessly: "This, this, I don't want this, just have one of the others!"

"Yes!" The store owner was very happy.

Tsunade then sat carelessly on the small sofa, chin up: "If you want to talk, say it now. I won't have time to chat with you during dinner. Jiraiya, I never thought that you would become the lobbyist of the Third Hokage."

"The current Hokage of Konoha is Hyuga Yuzuru, the Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade, as a ninja, you don't even know about such a big thing that happened a year ago?"

Jiraiya's expression became increasingly serious.

Whenever he saw Tsunade giving up on herself like this, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

As a companion, as.
Jiraiya sighed, looked at Tsunade who looked a little stunned, and then looked at Shizune who had a calm expression, and whispered: "Didn't Shizune tell you?"

Shizune looked embarrassed: "Lady Tsunade doesn't want to hear news about Konoha."

"Well~ Well~" Tsunade waved her hands awkwardly, and a trace of inexplicable light flashed across her fair and pretty face: "There is a new Hokage."

This world will never stop turning for anyone. Even someone as strong as the Three Ninjas, if they just huddle in the same place for a few moments, they will be left far behind by the times.

There was a brief silence at the table, but it was broken by Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade seriously: "Tsunade-sama, you haven't answered my question yet. Aren't you a ninja from Konoha?"

Tsunade had nothing to say, she just shook her legs irritably, crossed her arms in front of her, dragged her own weight, and said angrily: "Kid, what do you want to say."

"Brother Yuzuru wants you to go back. He said that Lady Tsunade is an extremely outstanding ninja. She alone can support the entire Konoha medical system. She is extremely important to Konoha now.

So, if Lady Tsunade is a ninja of Konoha, then come back to Konoha with us!
Yuzuru-kun is a very good person. If you meet him, you will definitely like him very much!"

After hearing Naruto, the little brat, say such words so seriously, even though she still didn't want to return to Konoha and was still extremely tired of the identity of a ninja, Tsunade was still curious about the guy called Hinata Yuzuru.

"Hyuga Yuzuru. The Fifth Hokage. I never thought that the Third Hokage would let someone from the Hyuga clan become Hokage."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

Jiraiya said seriously: "It's normal that you don't know him. After all, the Fifth Generation is only fifteen years old now."

"Fifteen years old!?" Tsunade's eyes widened, and she was amazed. "What on earth did the Third Hokage think to let a little brat become Hokage? What's wrong with him? According to the old man's personality, I thought he would work until his death. Could it be that someone has caught him?

Oh, if that’s the case, this guy called Hinata Yuzuru is really amazing.”

Tsunade made no secret of her disappointment and disgust towards the Third Hokage.

Even deep down, she still had feelings for her teacher that were hard to let go of, but everything she had experienced had made Tsunade extremely disappointed in him, and in turn, she was left with nothing but endless disgust.

Before Jiraiya could say anything, Naruto stood up indignantly and stared at Tsunade angrily: "Brother Yuzuru didn't become Hokage by such despicable means!"

"Yes, yes, I just said it casually." Tsunade didn't say anything stubborn, but at the end, she still crossed her legs indifferently: "But, I don't want to be a ninja anymore."

“Whether it’s the third generation or the fifth generation.

Even if I were asked to go back and be Hokage, I wouldn't be interested.

You can go back and tell the new Hokage you like. If you are not satisfied, you can arrest me as a traitor.

But no matter what, let's forget about returning to Konoha."

The attitude shown by Tsunade made Naruto both angry and confused.

He turned to look at Jiraiya, who just remained silent.

Naruto became even more angry.

He even forgot that he was hungry and stood up to leave, but before he moved his feet, he suppressed his willfulness.

This is the mission!

Brother Yuzuru, we need her!

"Tsunade! Are you taking your anger out on an innocent child?"

Jiraiya held Naruto's shoulders.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, the annoyance on her face gradually subsided, and after a while, she whispered: "I'm sorry, little brat, I said a little too much."

"But, I don't plan to be a ninja anymore."

Tsunade's voice was calm but filled with weariness.

Uzumaki Naruto just clenched his fists: "Why!?"

Jiraiya reached out to stop him from asking further questions and sighed, not knowing what to do.

He wanted to complete Hinata Yuzuru's commission, but when he saw Tsunade so fragile and decadent, he couldn't say anything harsh.

Naruto gritted his teeth and said, "Also, don't always call me a brat. Although I am still young now, I will definitely become a Hokage one day!"

"Become Hokage?"

Tsunade's eyes were incomprehensible. Looking at his unyielding gaze, she vaguely thought of the rope tree.

This hot-blooded little brat
It really is a headache.

Tsunade just laughed a few times without commenting: "Really?"

At this moment, the waiter brought the food.

Tsunade seemed to have found an opportunity, so she took the opportunity to start eating. Shizune followed suit. Jiraiya didn't have much appetite, so he just picked up his chopsticks and took a bite from time to time. When Naruto saw how happily Tsunade and Shizune were eating, he could only turn the frustration and anger in his heart into appetite.

There was only the sound of grunting and cooking on the dinner table. Tsunade was still sipping wine. For a moment, it was not clear whether she was drinking with food or drinking wine.

"Drink less." Jiraiya couldn't help but say.

Tsunade rolled her eyes beautifully, raised the bottle, and drank it all in one gulp as if to demonstrate: "Jiraiya, it's not like he returned to Konoha to become a ninja and drank up all your alcohol, right?"

Jiraiya curled up his lips, but rarely showed a mature side in front of Tsunade.

He raised the bottle, his expression somewhat melancholy, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

This gesture made Tsunade forget to put down her wine glass for a moment.

"What, you don't want to drink anymore?" Jiraiya grinned, as if the person with the gloomy look just now was not him.

Tsunade curled her lips, raised her glass and gulped, "This is just the beginning!"

Until Shizune and Naruto couldn't move after eating, they drank one cup after another, and even Jiraiya's face became slightly red after drinking, before they gave up.

Tsunade stood up unsteadily.

"Not bad. Today, I had a great time drinking!"

"Shizune, help me go to the hotel!"

"Ah, by the way, Jiraiya, lend me some money, otherwise, I'll have to sleep on the street again, burp~"

Tsunade had no manners like a lady and burped carelessly.

Jiraiya also stood up, but he didn't look too shaky. He just smiled and said, "Your drinking capacity seems to have declined a lot."

"Huh? If you want to drink, I can accompany you and drink until dawn!" Tsunade put her hands on her hips arrogantly and straightened her back heroically.

Jiraiya stared with both eyes for a moment, then when he raised his eyes, he met Tsunade's half-smile.

Naruto suddenly rushed out at this moment: "Lady Tsunade, come back to Konoha with us!"

"Are you annoying?" Tsunade stared at him angrily, "Little brat, I finally got into the mood to drink!"

Naruto was relentless and looked at her seriously: "I promised Brother Yuzuru that I would bring you back. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up! I will always stick with you!"

"One mouthful belongs to Yuzuru-nii, Yuzuru-nii. Is that guy so important to you?" Although Tsunade still looked drunk, her blurred eyes were firmly fixed on Uzumaki Naruto's pupils. .

Naruto said loudly: "Of course! He is the most important person to me!"

Tsunade just felt more annoyed by this.

Konoha, Hokage, family affection.

And the guy in front of him looks like a familiar fool.

Really
She thought about it and saw that Jiraiya didn't mean to stop him at all, so she knew that if she couldn't give the kid in front of her a good explanation, she wouldn't be able to have a good rest today.

So, Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"Are you willing to do anything to get me back?"

Her eyes seemed to become increasingly dangerous.

Naruto didn't hesitate at all: "Of course! No matter what I do, I will take you back! This is my promise to Brother Yuzuru!"

Tsunade stretched lazily.

Jiraiya had just paid for the meal at this time. He clutched his money bag tightly with heartache, turned around, and was made to gasp again by Tsunade's stretching action, and the wine was so cold that he woke up a lot.

"this."

Tsunade held out a finger, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Uzumaki Naruto.

"As long as you can beat me with just one finger!"

"I'll go back with you."

"How about it?"

"If you can't beat me, go and practice on your own and don't bother me."

"how?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows, her voice slightly provocative.

As expected, when Naruto in front of him heard this, his eyes widened in anger because she underestimated him, and then he immediately replied: "It's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

Tsunade and he walked out of the hotel and stood on the street. Tsunade put one hand on her waist and with the other hand, she extended an index finger and gently hooked it at Naruto in the distance.

"Come."

Jiraiya didn't know what he thought of, and smiled.

Shizune, holding the piglet, finally waited for the right moment to secretly ask Jiraiya some private questions that were not convenient for Tsunade to hear.

"Um, does the new Hokage really want Lady Tsunade to go back? Does he really think that Lady Tsunade is very important to Konoha?"

she asked in a low voice.

The drunkenness on Jiraiya's face disappeared in an instant.

He looked at Shizune and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Even though there are some things that Naruto said that he has never heard personally, there is no doubt that based on his current observation and judgment, Hinata Yuzuru is not a person who will talk casually, even to a child. I won’t say anything irresponsible casually.

Shizune looked nostalgic, as if thinking of her days in Konoha, and sighed softly: "Is the new Hokage very good? Even Master Jiraiya is willing to run around for him, and there's this little brat called Uzumaki Naruto."

"Hokage-sama is indeed excellent.

He is the most outstanding young man I have ever met in my life.

Whether it's me, Tsunade, or Orochimaru.

Even the past Hokages, from my understanding, are far inferior to him in terms of ability and mind at his age. "

Such an evaluation is considered top-notch.

Shizune couldn't help but look surprised. Even though she had already guessed that Hinata Yuzuru must be a very outstanding ninja to become Hokage at such a young age, she never expected that she would get such an exaggerated evaluation from Jiraiya. .

Just when the two of them were talking.

Naruto had launched an all-out attack on Tsunade.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Just a powerful shout from Naruto, and the next moment, dozens of Uzumaki Narutos jumped out of the street, screaming, and rushed towards Tsunade.

"As long as she can attack me with her legs or fists, I will win!"

Thus, these shadow clones rushed towards Tsunade as if in a suicide attack, seeking death, using both hands and feet. Rather than wanting to knock her down, it would be more accurate to say that their goal was to entangle her and force her to use attack moves beyond "one finger".

Tsunade did look surprised.

She subconsciously glanced at Jiraiya first, and Jiraiya nodded slightly to her calmly. Tsunade then realized the true identity of the boy in front of her.

Being able to easily create so many shadow clones at such a young age - who else could it be except the Nine-Tails' help?
But even so, facing the overwhelming attack of Naruto's clones, Tsunade just twisted her neck.

"What a troublesome little devil."

Tsunade pointed the index finger of her right hand forward and took a deep breath.

Then, he suddenly left the place.

The next moment, Tsunade's figure seemed to turn into a phantom in the air. The green coat with the word "Gamble" written on it was flying in the wind, like a swaying green light strip, forming a green line on the street at dusk. line.

Naruto's shadow clones were completely unable to react at such a speed, and were blown up one after another, exploding into smoke.

Then, a finger appeared in front of Uzumaki Naruto.

Tsunade looked at the little devil in front of her teasingly, slightly raised her index finger, and then flicked it lightly.

The Uzumaki Naruto in front of her seemed to be completely unable to react and was directly bounced away by her.

Well.
It should end
Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly and looked to the side.

Just after looking at the groups of shadow clones that were blown up, a blue light suddenly flashed.

"Look at my super Rasengan!"

Naruto's voice came first before anyone arrived, highlighting a bright card operation.

In other words, he couldn't hide the noise of rolling the balls.

At this moment, the two shadow clones disappeared after working hard to make the balls beside him, and he roared, raised the Rasengan in his hand, and rushed towards Tsunade.

The result is
He had only run halfway when the Rasengan in his hand disappeared with a snap, or rather, the Rasengan had never been successful when it was formed.

Jiraiya put his hand on his face to hide his embarrassment.

It's not that he doesn't work hard - but in fact, Naruto's chakra control is indeed a bit poor. When Hinata Yuzuru was in Konoha, he proposed to Naruto training methods to improve chakra control, such as stepping on trees and water. But now, Naruto, who is a few years younger than when he graduated in the original work, still cannot fully control the majestic chakra in his body.

Seeing the ball in his hand disappear, Naruto had a look of panic on his face.

There was no smile on Tsunade's face, but she looked at him with a strange look. Naruto, in panic, seemed to throw a kunai at random.

Tsunade tilted her head away.

The next moment, the white fingers flicked the deflected kunai lightly.

Naruto, who had just released his transformation technique, was hit on the forehead by the finger. He let out a cry and was flung away by the huge force, rolling on the ground for several times while holding his head.

"Damn it! We've been discovered!"

Naruto's eyes were full of unwillingness.

Tsunade praised her sincerely: "No, your performance is beyond my expectation."

"You can use people's thinking inertia, true and false, to make such a series of feints to conceal your true intentions and try to kill with one blow. This is already a very mature fighting strategy. I didn't expect that Jiraiya could teach you like this."

Jiraiya's expression became even more embarrassed.

Naruto covered his head because of this and said with pride: "Yuzhen-nii taught me this!"

Tsunade chuckled, looked at the embarrassed Jiraiya, and said, "But, unfortunately, your brother Yuzuru hasn't taught you well yet."

She accentuated her tone and smiled teasingly: "Little devil, go and practice hard for a few more years!"

Naruto absolutely disagrees.

He put down the hand covering his head and took a deep breath: "I haven't fallen down yet!"

"Huh?" Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"I can still fight!" Naruto gritted his teeth and formed hand seals with his hands: "I will definitely make you use any means other than that finger!"

Tsunade sighed.

She turned her head and looked at Jiraiya.

"Hey, if this goes on, I'm going to let him have a good sleep."

"You are a medical ninja, you know your limits." Jiraiya just shrugged and smiled: "But there is one thing I can tell you in advance."

"Naruto will never give up even if his limbs are broken."

The way he calmly stated the facts made Naruto grin as if in recognition.

"Since I promised Brother Yuzuru to bring you, Mother-in-law Tsunade, back to Konoha, I must do it even if I risk my life!"

"My ninja way is - say it and do it!"

Naruto rushed towards Tsunade again.

Tsunade just had a cold face and a cold tone: "It doesn't matter what else."

"but."

Naruto only saw a slender finger rushing towards his head at an extremely fast speed.

"Did you just call me grandma!?"

Naruto's memory of tonight stayed at this moment.
