Orochimaru ran incredibly fast, and his disheveled appearance made the others' hearts skip a beat, prompting them to prepare themselves.

Tsunade and Kurenai were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they were eager to fight and were ready to chase after them at any moment.

But the rest of the people...

Jiraiya's lips twitched slightly, then he began to act nonchalant, stubbornly shouting, "What are you afraid of? I don't believe Yun An can do anything. Does he think he can just take us down?"

He spoke with great bravado, but his actions were anything but slow.

In the blink of an eye, they also slipped back into the village.

However, he did not hide alone, but hurriedly began to search for his "accomplices".

It was Sarutobi Asuma who also considered Yun'an a rival in love.

Jiraiya first nodded and greeted his teacher's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, with impeccable manners. Then he quickly slipped into the house, found Sarutobi Asuma, and embellished the story of what had just happened in the village.

"So you came to find me?"

Aren't you just causing me trouble?

Sarutobi Asuma, feeling overwhelmed, rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Now look what's happened, I'm afraid none of us can escape this mess."

"nonsense."

Jiraiya retorted without hesitation, saying righteously, "The point was to make sure you couldn't escape, otherwise I would have to bear all the blame."

"Don't you know how petty Yun An is?"

He patted his chest, looking "sincere": "I was originally planning to give up on Tsunade. If you hadn't been stirring things up, how could I have gotten involved in this mess?"

As for Tsunade, all I can do now is offer my silent blessings. As for other thoughts, I really have none, absolutely none.

As Jiraiya spoke, he observed Sarutobi Asuma's expression. Seeing that the other party was not as reliable as he had imagined and had no intention of sharing hardships with him, he decisively turned and left.

Then.

He no longer stays in Konoha Village.

Since the prophesied child has already appeared, he will naturally embark on his original life journey.

He went on a journey through the world in order to continue writing his biography of perseverance and forbearance.

Perhaps they can even ride this wave of popularity to boost sales. This is arguably Jiraiya's only pursuit besides settling down and starting a family.

However, Jiraiya had barely stepped out of Konoha's gates when he didn't notice what was happening behind him.

An extremely well-hidden shadow clone was silently following behind, like a leech that couldn't be shaken off.

……

Rain-Hidden Village.

Inside the office building, Hanzo the Salamander stood by the window, gazing at the rows of houses in the distance and the faint sounds of explosions coming from the training ground, a satisfied smile on his face.

The changes that have taken place in the entire Rain Village in the past few months are enough to shock everyone.

Although the overall strength of the ninjas did not see a dramatic improvement, the thriving and vibrant life of the entire village quietly seeped into the hearts of everyone.

With Hanzo of the Salamander and Nagato, two Kage-level powerhouses, now Amegakure is comparable to the Five Great Shinobi Villages in terms of high-level combat strength.

The only thing that worried Hanzo the Salamander was Nagato's health.

However, when he thought of Yun An, he temporarily put his worries aside.

I trust Yun'an; they will definitely be able to solve it.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Hanzo the Salamander strode forward and opened the door. The moment he saw who was outside, his face was filled with such overwhelming joy that it almost spilled out.

He patted the other man's shoulder heavily, his voice booming, "Brother Tianzang, you're finally back!"

Yun An coughed lightly a few times after being patted on the shoulder; he was really overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.

"Brother Tiandao, you're finally willing to come back?"

"As expected, it's still our Amegakure village; there are people you can't bear to part with."

Hanzo the Salamander joked with a smile, his tone full of familiarity.

Upon hearing this, Yun An's heart tightened, and a hint of tension flashed across his face. He quickly glanced around and, finding no trace of Terumi Mei, silently breathed a sigh of relief. He then followed Hanzo of the Salamander into the office and sat down opposite him.

"What's wrong?"

Hanzo the Salamander was, after all, a man hailed as a demigod in the ninja world, so he possessed at least this basic level of insight.

He could tell at a glance that Yun An's current state was not quite right; she was completely different from the spirited person she was when she last came.

Gradually, Hanzo the Salamander seemed to realize something. His eyes widened slightly, and his tone was filled with disbelief, yet also mixed with undisguised joy: "Could it be... that he's been wanted by Kirigakure?"

Now even Konoha Village can't tolerate you, so Brother Tenzo, have you become a rogue ninja?

Upon hearing this, Yun An's lips curled slightly, and she glanced at him with annoyance: "There's no need to be so gloating."

"I'm doing so badly, is there anything to be happy about?"

He glared at him, his expression full of helplessness.

Hanzo the Salamander scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that Brother Tenzo would see through me."

He changed the subject abruptly, patting his chest and assuring everyone, "Don't worry. Whatever Konoha has, Amegakure has too. And thanks to our cooperation with Kirigakure, Amegakure is completely different now than before."

Should I invite your brother and sister-in-law over so your family can have a proper get-together?

Oh, and there's also that kid, Yahiko.

Hanzo the Salamander laughed heartily, looking as if he had done a great deed.

I don't know.

If he dared to actually do what he said, Yun An would probably want to kill him.

Yun An's expression changed instantly, and he quickly interrupted, "Don't say such unlucky things. I've finally managed to have some peace and quiet. Please, God of War, let me go."

Seeing Yun An's tone of alarm, Hanzo the Salamander nodded silently, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and sighed again, "That's how all adult men are."

Although my sister-in-law is a beautiful girl, sometimes, as a human being, it's normal to get tired of her.

He paused, leaned closer, and said with a hint of understanding, "After all, Brother Tianzang, you are a normal man. Since you are a normal man, you will naturally do what a normal man should do."

"Tell me, Brother Tianzang, haven't you let your wife down?"

Hanzo the Salamander's words were purely a guess, but unexpectedly, he actually guessed right.

Unfortunately, this answer not only failed to provide him with any useful information, but also earned him a furious outburst from Yun An: "Let me tell you, if Terumi Mei finds out about this, I won't be the only one who suffers a terrible fate. If all else fails, we might as well all die together."
