Chapter 173: You Are the Fool
After leaving the village, the Mirror Man has been somewhat silent.
In the previous argument with Tsunade, Kagami knew that he had indeed gone too far. After all, no matter what, he took the initiative to ask Tsunade to help him transplant his eyes.
What he did was actually a pity for Tsunade.
But Kagami doesn't regret it, because his attitude is like that and cannot be changed. If he reconciles with Konoha because he feels sorry for Tsunade, then what will Shisui do? What about his parents? What should the Uchiha clan do?
Now he can let Konoha go, but why didn't anyone let him go before?
On this issue, Kagami will never back down, even if he feels sorry for Tsunade.
I have just finished my revenge, and the hatred has not dissipated, and you asked me to reconcile. Where were you when Danzo killed my parents? Where were you when you killed me, Brother Zhisui?
"Mirror Man, where are we going next?"
Xianglin asked looking at Mirror Man.
"At sea."
Mirror Man replied immediately.
Now that the kaleidoscope has been transplanted, the next most important thing is to allow time for the eyes to fuse, and the sea is the best safe haven at the moment. After all, Kagami doesn't know if Obito will continue to pursue him. To be on the safe side, of course we have to go to sea.
"At sea?"
"Yes."
After Xianglin confirmed it, Jingren and his party set off towards the sea again. They would spend the next period of time at sea.
A few days later, Orochimaru, who looked like he had a weak kidney, came to the village where Tsunade had stayed with the help of Kabuto, but after searching, Orochimaru could not find Tsunade.
"What's going on? Didn't the news I got say that Tsunade is in this village?"
Orochimaru said with a little anger. This feeling of having both hands disabled is really too uncomfortable. He doesn't want to experience it for a moment. It's best to do it. Tsunade appeared in front of him in a second and immediately healed his hands.
Now based on the previous intelligence, Tsunade was almost found, but when she arrived at the destination, Tsunade was missing. This made Orochimaru a little angry. Orochimaru believed that the intelligence under his command was wrong.
Kabuto couldn't help but frown. He naturally knew how much Orochimaru attached importance to this matter. If something went wrong in this matter, then they would most likely feel Orochimaru's anger.
"Lord Orochimaru, it should be Tsunade's problem."
Kabuto's meaning was obvious, this is not our problem, this should be Tsunade's problem.
In fact, Kabuto's guess was correct. Because of the Mirror Man, Tsunade did not stay in this village as in the original work, but set out to return to Konoha.
But Orochimaru doesn't know this, and he doesn't want to care about it. He only knows that he has to find Tsunade quickly to heal his hands!
"Continue to investigate!"
Orochimaru said coldly.
Although Orochimaru can use "Buzo Reincarnation" to transfer his soul to another body to restore his hands, "Buzo Reincarnation" has a cooling time of several years, during which time it cannot be used again. To use this technique, Orochimaru wanted to wait hard until Sasuke came before using this technique.
However, being without hands was too painful for Orochimaru. He couldn't sit still and wait for Sasuke. He couldn't bear it for a moment!
This led to this journey to find Tsunade.
Of course, what Orochimaru didn't know was that even if he met Tsunade and offered Kato Dan's resurrection as a reward, Tsunade would not help him heal his hands.
On the other side, Orochimaru was still working hard to find Tsunade, but on Tsunade's side, after several days of traveling, they were approaching Konoha.
Tsunade looked at Konoha in the distance with complicated eyes, she was back in this place again.
Why did Tsunade leave Konoha in the first place? If I have to say it, it should be the war. During the Third Ninja War, Tsunade's lover Kato Dan and his younger brother Naoki died. The sudden and huge blow made Tsunade unable to bear it. In grief, Tsunade Regardless of everyone's objections, Hand left Konoha with Kato Dan's niece Shizune.
After leaving Konoha, Tsunade enjoyed gambling every day. Although she kept losing, everything was happy for Tsunade, because as long as she was addicted to it, she would not think of her lover and the death of her brother. .
I don't know how many years have passed. The pain that Tsunade couldn't bear has been diluted by time, but Tsunade still hasn't returned to Konoha. It's simple. Time has diluted Tsunade's pain and her desire to go back. , if it was not necessary, Tsunade might spend the rest of her life gambling. When she was about to die, she would quietly run back to Konoha and bury herself with her brother and the others.
Yes, this is Tsunade's blueprint for the rest of her life.
But the arrival of Mirror Man broke all this. Tsunade originally wanted to resolve the hatred between Konoha and Mirror Man when Konoha was weak. What she didn't expect was that Mirror Man's attitude was too determined and she even helped him fuse. Out of the Eternal Kaleidoscope!
Tsunade was not one to shirk responsibility, so even though she didn't want to come back, she came back.
"I wonder how that Jiraiya guy is doing."
Tsunade muttered in a low voice before walking towards Konoha with Shizune.
Konoha has just experienced a catastrophe, and almost all the high-level officials are dead. If it is not handled properly, riots or something may happen at any time.
However, Tsunade still trusts Jiraiya. Even though he is a lecherous and disgusting guy, Tsunade has great trust in his abilities.
"At least, it's much better than Orochimaru."
Not long after the Third Ninja War, the three famous ninjas left one after another, but among them, only Orochimaru defected. From this point of view, Tsunade is very She hates Orochimaru, but the past friendship prevents Tsunade from completely hating Orochimaru.
Not long after, Tsunade and Shizune went to Konoha, and this matter was soon known by Jiraiya, the temporary top manager of Konoha. Jiraiya ran out excitedly without saying a word.
I really want to get whatever I want! Jiraiya has been annoyed to death by the political affairs of Konoha and has a headache every day. However, he cannot leave Konoha in a short time. Not long ago, Jiraiya also decided that he must find Tsunade to succeed Hokage. Unexpectedly, only about a month later, Tsunade came to Konoha by herself!
Could this not excite Jiraiya? The moment he learned that Tsunade had come to Konoha, Jiraiya seemed to see his once free self, without having to worry about these broken government affairs every day.
Tsunade's thoughts were completely different from Jiraiya's. Tsunade didn't know Jiraiya's pain. Therefore, when she saw Jiraiya running towards her with an excited face, Tsunade subconsciously thought that she was Jiraiya's "lustful" symptoms broke out again, so
"Boom!"
Jiraiya, who looked excited, was punched away by Tsunade.
Tsunade rolled her eyes.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. You've become bolder, Jiraiya."
At this moment, Tsunade and the others were outside the gate of Konoha, and Jiraiya was punched by Tsunade and flew into the gate of Konoha, leaving a human figure on the gate and raising clouds of dust.
"Cough cough cough."
Jiraiya raised his hand and kept waving away the dust from his mouth.
"Tsunade, I haven't seen you for many years, and you're getting older again."
Although he was misunderstood, Jiraiya didn't care! It doesn’t matter if it’s okay or not!
Even if he doesn't tease Tsunade now, Jiraiya will definitely tease him before leaving.
If you misunderstand, just misunderstand. Anyway, it’s just what I want!
The corners of Tsunade's mouth twitched. She knew exactly where Jiraiya was looking at this moment, so Tsunade clenched her fists.
"You'd better get down to business quickly."
Jiraiya is lustful, but Tsunade knows that Jiraiya will not forget about business just to be lustful. Jiraiya came to him in such a hurry. There may be lustful reasons, but it is definitely It can't be all.
Jiraiya also knew that if he looked any further, Tsunade would go crazy, so Jiraiya walked out of the dust, straightened his body, and looked sanctimonious.
"Tsunade, you are back now. You are back in time. You have seen Konoha now."
At this point, Jiraiya paused and glanced at that place quietly again.
"You've also seen it. It's really a big deal. It's really full of waste. I really can't handle government affairs or anything like that, and I don't want to dare, so" Tsunade raised her eyebrows
.
"So, you want me to take over?"
Jiraiya nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, I want to elect you to be the Fifth Hokage!"
Although the Third Hokage died not long ago, as the successor, Tsunade can only become the Fifth Hokage, because before the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage He had already died first, and the Third Hokage came back to power after the death of the Fourth Hokage.
There was a hint of resistance subconsciously in Tsunade's eyes.
Let Tsunade help Konoha, yes, Tsunade will do it, but Tsunade is very resistant to letting Tsunade become Hokage.
Because, Tsunade's brother and lover were both people who aspired to become Hokage. In the end, they all died. This made Tsunade resist the position of Hokage. It can't be said that she was disgusted, but she was very resistant.
Jiraiya clearly saw the look of resistance in Tsunade's eyes. As a friend who grew up together, Jiraiya naturally knew why Tsunade resisted, so Jiraiya hurriedly spoke.
"Tsunade, this time, Konoha needs you!"
Tsunade was silent for a while and did not answer, or in other words, she did not know how to answer.
At this time, many people have gathered around. The return of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, is naturally not something that needs to be concealed. Even considering the current situation in Konoha, the news should be spread to stabilize people's hearts, so , Jiraiya did not conceal the arrival of Tsunade, and therefore, after knowing it, many villagers came to the gate to have a glimpse of another Sannin.
Looking at the Konoha villagers around her, Tsunade knew that if she agreed to become Hokage, she would have to keep her word, so "
Sorry, Jiraiya, I still can't become Hokage. I don't want to be Hokage."
Lowering her head slightly, recalling her brother and lover, Tsunade spoke subconsciously.
"That's something only a fool would do!"
She was scolding her brother and lover. If they didn't have the dream of being Hokage, maybe they wouldn't work so hard on the battlefield, and maybe they wouldn't die.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade bitterly, thinking about many things in his heart, but in the end he didn't say any of them.
After all, Jiraiya has never had his brother die, nor has his lover died. He has never experienced the same pain as Tsunade. Without experiencing it, Jiraiya is not qualified to let Tsunade let go.
What qualifications does Jiraiya have to persuade Tsunade? In the matter of Naruto, he is superior to Tsunade, that is, his brother and lover did not die, but is this something to be proud of? Putting Jiraiya in Tsunade's position, who can guarantee that Jiraiya will not resist the position of Hokage?
If others can't compare to you in certain things, it doesn't necessarily mean that others are inferior to you. Perhaps, they just have bad luck.
Jiraiya was in no position to accuse Tsunade.
Just like Sasuke in the original work, there are many people in Konoha who cannot understand Sasuke's behavior of rebelling against the village at first. However, if you try to destroy his clan, how many people can calm down? How many can stay calm?
It is absolutely wrong to accuse the other party just because your own experience is better than that of the other party.
"Is it true that Tsunade can't overcome it?"
Jiraiya finally said this sentence. He was not qualified to persuade Tsunade to let go, nor was he qualified to accuse Tsunade of being wrong. He could only hope that Tsunade could overcome this problem in her heart. obstacle.
Tsunade smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"It can't be done, Jiraiya."
Jiraiya smiled bitterly.
"Is that so?"
But at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.
"Hey, you guy! Why do you look down on Naruto!"
Naruto with blond hair stood up and spoke angrily to Tsunade.
Today is the day when Naruto is "released from prison". Naruto's outburst not long ago made the whole of Konoha panic. Everyone is even more afraid of Naruto. In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, Jiraiya restrained Naruto. Later, Jiraiya imprisoned Naruto and continued to strengthen Naruto's seal.
Of course, although he was said to be imprisoned, Jiraiya was not Danzo. He still entertained Naruto with delicious food and drinks. The only requirement was that Naruto was not allowed to run around before the seal was completely strengthened.
Everyone in Konoha tried their best to strengthen Naruto's seal based on the fourth generation seal. It took more than a month before Naruto was released.
When Naruto came out and heard the news about one of the three ninjas, he naturally came to join in the fun. But what Naruto didn't expect was that this so-called three ninja actually looked down on Naruto! Are you saying that Naruto is a fool to do this?
This was unbearable, so Naruto immediately jumped out, no matter if you are a third ninja or a fourth ninja, even if you are a fifth ninja, I, Uzumaki Naruto, will never agree if you say this about Naruto!
"Don't think that anyone can be Hokage. Guys like you can't become Hokage!"
Naruto said to Tsunade aggressively.
Tsunade turned her head and looked, and what caught her eyes was a blond boy. Tsunade smiled and replied.
"Kid, seeing as you are so excited, let me guess, your dream is to become Hokage?"
Naruto straightened his body.
"So what?"
Tsunade raised her eyebrows.
"Tsk, another fool."
Naruto was stunned at first, and then became furious.
"You are the fool!"
In the end, even if history changed and Tsunade herself returned to Konoha, the two people would still inevitably intersect over the topic of "Hokage".
The gears of fate are turning again.
