Seeing that the passersby around them were looking at them, Jiraiya quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Let's not talk about this now. Let me treat you to a drink. We won't have time again in a few days. I have to take Yun to practice immortal arts."

Magical arts?

These words indeed made Tsunade drop the matter of peeping, and even Jiraiya got up, dusted himself off, and asked, "That brat needs the power of Sage Mode? I don't think it's necessary."

Jiraiya rubbed his eyes: "Let's find a quiet place. This isn't the place to talk."

Seeing his serious expression, Tsunade frowned and nodded.

In an izakaya.

After pouring drinks for the two of them, Jingyin tactfully left the private room and waited outside.

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya, who was in the private room, revealed the information he currently possessed.

From the very first sentence, Tsunade kept forgetting to put down the wine cup she had picked up.

After Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade finally spoke after a long pause: "What... what kind of ghosts and spirits are these?"

Even the Sage of Six Paths' mother has appeared! Is this some kind of latest mythology story?

Jiraiya smacked his lips, which were a little dry, and downed a glass of wine in one go: "Although I really don't want to admit it, the information I've received is indeed true. Strange and bizarre things are pouring out, and they are all powerful figures whose abilities are beyond our comprehension."

Tsunade nodded, staring absently at the wine glass in her hand.

Before this, it was already astonishing that Yun had gained power almost equal to that of Madara Uchiha due to his bloodline reversion.

With the addition of Uzumaki Sora, who is almost like a grandfather, it seems that the situation of two heroes in the ninja world has been born once again.

But now...

Even the Sage of Six Paths' mother, and that legendary Rinnegan, had five pairs!

"what……"

After downing the bottle of wine in one gulp, Tsunade exhaled and rubbed her temples: "So... why are you telling me all this?"

She didn't believe that Zilai was only saying these things because he felt guilty and wanted to avoid the topic.

Sometimes, this guy is the one who's truly clear-headed.

Jiraiya replied, "I know you've been staying in the village to pay off your debts, and you're probably thinking of leaving now, aren't you?"

Tsunade's cheeks were already slightly flushed: "Hehe... If I stay any longer, I'll almost forget how to gamble."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "No. When it's really time to leave, you'll be reluctant to part."

Such certainty startled Tsunade, who then chuckled dismissively: "How could that be? It's not like we haven't left before. Maybe we'd go off to play for a few years, and Minato and Kumo would have taken care of all these troublesome things."

Jiraiya smiled, but his eyes twitched from the pain: "Was the village back then the same as the village now? The village now should be the village that the First Hokage envisioned, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade was stunned.

What about the village now?

The various clans united with each other, and the Uchiha clan completely integrated into the village.

Although there are still veiled meanings in the conversations among the higher-ups, the dark atmosphere has truly vanished.

"You've managed to stay in the village for over a year; perhaps you're the only one who hasn't realized it yet. Tsunade, you've already accepted Konoha as it is."

"You believe that this is the kind of Konoha that everyone should dream of becoming Hokage in."

Jiraiya's words struck a chord with Tsunade.

When it comes to paying off debts, wasn't the amount owed in the first place already quite large?

Perhaps... it really is just an excuse.

"Once Yun learns the immortal arts, I'll head to Amegakure. This time, I'll make sure to find out all about them."

With a smug expression, Jiraiya drank another cup of sake.

Tsunade, who was still lost in thought, was also jolted awake by these words.

With five pairs of Rinnegan, using Jiraiya's power to gather intelligence, they repeatedly crossed the other party's bottom line.

If discovered...

"You should know the danger, why don't you let Yun..."

Jiraiya raised his hand to block the same suggestion: "With your intelligence, you should know that we can't make any moves against Yun now. The reason why Akatsuki is lying low is that they are also waiting for an opportunity."

Tsunade lowered her head, looking somewhat forlorn.

After a long pause, he looked up slightly at Jiraiya and said, "Perhaps the Land of Rain and Akatsuki are not related? Uzumaki Sora first appeared there, and perhaps he only fought a few Rinnegan users."

Jiraiya shook his head: "In that case... Amegakure's problem is even bigger. The Rinnegan appearing in large numbers, each with different abilities, means they must possess technologies we don't know about."

Is it a technology for mass production of power?

Tsunade sighed. If Amegakure really mastered this technology, it would be terrifying.

At this moment, Jiraiya checked the time and said with a grin, "It's getting late, I still need to go see Naruto. It's been so long, I wonder if he misses me."

Seeing Jiraiya get up to leave, Tsunade hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

It wasn't until Jiraiya lifted the curtain that Tsunade's heart trembled at the sight of his back.

Perhaps... this is the last time we'll see each other?

"Jiraiya".

"Ok?"

"Can...can I not go? I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jiraiya waved his hand with his back to her and said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily!"

……

under night.

In the dark corner behind the women's hot spring, a buttocks could be seen swaying from side to side.

"To the left, a little to the left..."

"Wow...this is huge, it's comparable to Tsunade's size."

"It can even bounce!"

……

On the street outside the bathhouse.

"It's normal for Naruto to ask you out at this time, but it's strange that you asked Sasuke out..."

Shikamaru looked at Sasuke and asked, "What happened?"

Sasuke sighed, "My brother has become a different person these past few days. He's been overly strict with my training. And he smiles much less these days."

Naruto, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Is it because you've broken up with your boyfriend?"

Sasuke glared at Naruto after hearing this: "When Kokoro comes to our house, I'm not interested in going out on dates either."

Shikamaru scratched his head: "It's probably because of the mission. Your brother became a Jonin a long time ago, and I heard Dad say that even among Jonin, your brother is a very powerful one."

"Hey……"

Erzhuzi sighed: "That's why I'm worried... but there's nothing I can do to help."

Naruto asked, "So how did you get out of here at this time? Did you run away from home?"

Seemingly defeated by his best friend's thought process, Sasuke replied, "My brother just left this afternoon on a mission."

“I used to think that my brother would train me, but these past few days of training, I’ve noticed that he keeps staring into my eyes.”

Sasuke looked at his two friends as he spoke: "The rigorous training isn't the problem. What really bothers me is that I can't help at all. And I don't even know why."

Naruto thought for a moment and replied, "Dad definitely knows why, but he certainly won't tell me. How about... I try to get the information out of him for you?"

Erzhuzi shook his head: "Although you can be quite clever at times, I trust Shikamaru to handle things like getting information out of people, but you should give up."

Naruto's eyes widened. Was he being rejected?

However, seeing Sasuke's low spirits, he didn't retort for the time being.

Just then, the group happened to pass by the bathhouse.

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto spoke up, saying, "Kid, there's a sneaky guy up to no good. If you threaten him by telling Kushina, you might get something in return."

Kurama's words made Naruto stop.

Shikamaru and Sasuke stopped and looked over when they saw this.

"The fox boss said that someone is doing bad things around here."

Shikamaru paused, looked around but found nothing: "Kyuubi-sama's senses should be right, but if we can't find them, they must not be ordinary people. Let's notify the security forces; there's nothing we can do."

Erzhuzi nodded and was about to go find someone when Naruto called him back.

Because at this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him said, "If the security forces don't catch this person in the act, they can't do anything about it, and if they notify the security forces, they'll lose all the benefits."

Naruto scratched his head: "Boss Fox, where is he?"

Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled: "The one behind the women's hot spring, grinning and peeping at us from the wall, is it."

Peeping?!

These words made Naruto furious, and his sense of justice immediately surged.

“Let’s go, I know where he is.”

Naruto waved, and his two friends followed him.

The three of them quickly arrived behind the hot spring. From a distance, they could see the lewd-looking dark figure opposite them.

Moreover, even though they are still young, they know what the other person is doing without even thinking.

Shikamaru frowned, angry. The Nara clan from the hot springs were frequent visitors.

That kind of guy deserves to be taught a lesson!

"Don't make a sound yet."

Shikamaru first restrained the two who were about to act impulsively, then whispered, "It's too dark, and we don't know if the other party is a ninja. So Naruto, you shout first that someone is spying on us, and then I'll use the Shadow Binding Technique when they're distracted."

"Next, Sasuke, your shuriken is the most accurate. Aim for his weakest spot and hit him first to incapacitate him."
