Chapter 161 Tsunade's Thoughts on Jiraiya
Chapter 161 Tsunade's Thoughts on Jiraiya
In the small meeting that followed the main conference, Akali immediately shared her thoughts with Tsunade and Tobirama Senju.
"You mean to say that all of this is being manipulated? It's not impossible!"
Tobirama Senju immediately became alert: "A legion of demons and a Void Ninja, attacking from both sides at such a convenient time. If this was premeditated, then it makes sense!"
"But Second Grandfather..." Tsunade wondered, "What are these people behind this doing all this for?"
"What's the point?" Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment. "Don't you think Konoha is too strong right now?"
"Too strong?" Tsunade was still somewhat puzzled.
But now Tobirama Senju has completely confirmed his guess: "Yes, it's because we're too strong right now!"
"Think about it, these people have been hiding in the shadows for so long, preparing for so long, yet they've never been exposed. Neither we nor the other ninja villages knew of their existence. What does that mean?"
"This shows that their plans are far-reaching! That's why they've kept them hidden so perfectly all this time. Their enemy isn't just one ninja village, but the entire ninja world!"
"Therefore, it is not good for a certain ninja village to be too strong or too weak, because it will disrupt the long-standing balance of the ninja world!"
Tobirama Senju's eyes gleamed: "Tsunade, do you remember how Tsunade died?"
"Second Grandfather, you mean!" Tsunade was shocked.
"That's right. The mysterious person who caused Yongdai's death and whom we still haven't found a clue about is probably from that force!"
"Although I have never met Yongdai Mei in person, I can tell from the records that she was an exceptionally talented young man, just like a rising sun."
"If he could lead Konoha alive, he probably wouldn't have had to wait for that monkey-in-a-clothes Sarutobi to come and ruin Konoha!"
At this point, Tobirama Senju sighed regretfully.
Given his intelligence, since he guessed that someone was behind this incident, further deductions naturally followed.
"This time, we all have to be extremely careful!" Tobirama Senju said solemnly. "The Senju clan records state that the Mouryou are very strong, but their strength lies in their military might. Konoha's strength, however, lies precisely in the number of its strong individuals."
"If the other side wants to weaken Konoha, they will definitely have other methods!"
Tobirama Senju looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade, I haven't been paying attention to what's happening in Konoha these days. Where is Jiraiya now?"
"Teach Naruto around Konoha!" Tsunade replied, finding it somewhat amusing: "Grandpa, you took Sasuke away, so you're without an opponent. Now Jiraiya is being pestered by Naruto so much he can't stand it!"
"However, it's not all bad that Jiraiya is tied up with Naruto. At least seeing that Jiraiya hasn't shown up for many days, the Konoha hot spring shop's revenue has rebounded quite a bit!"
"That kid!" Tobirama Senju frowned slightly.
He had met Jiraiya before, and he was a very good person, but unfortunately, he was influenced by Hiruzen Sarutobi and somehow became so lecherous.
For people at their level, studying ninjutsu and improving their cultivation is no more fun than women.
However, Jiraiya's behavior is not entirely incomprehensible...
Tobirama Senju suddenly asked, "Tsunade, what is your opinion of Jiraiya?"
"What do you mean, how do you see it?" Tsunade was confused at first, then suddenly understood what Tobirama Senju meant.
What else can we look at? Of course, it's the perspectives of men and women.
Tsunade blushed.
If anyone else asked her this question, even Jiraiya, the proud and arrogant Tsunade would definitely punch him in embarrassment and indignation.
But now, standing before her was Tobirama Senju.
Tsunade could only honestly answer, "I..."
However, Tsunade suddenly stopped talking as she remembered that Akali was staring at them with wide, cool eyes.
"Go away, go away! I'm talking to my second grandfather, what are you doing here?" Tsunade immediately began to drive Akali away.
Akali, a true entertainer, would never leave if she could get a piece of the juicy gossip about Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"Hey, hey, no! Sister Tsunade, you're the Hokage! Family matters are national matters! As a member of the Konoha ninja, I demand the right to know! The right to know!"
As she spoke, Akali gathered chakra in her feet and sucked it into the ground.
On the other side, seeing that she couldn't pull Akali away, Tsunade gritted her teeth and started clenching her fists: "Fine, fine, you have the right to know, huh! I don't have that, but how about a fist?"
"Come on!" Akali straightened her back: "I'd rather die than not eat this melon!"
Besides, she's covered in protective shields and has skin and bones of iron. So what if she gets punched a few times by Tsunade today!
But the problem is, how could Tsunade actually hit Akali?
[Ding! Tsunade's emotional value +9999!]
"You little rascal..."
Faced with a tough opponent like Akali, Tsunade could only grit her teeth, but her emotions were definitely building up.
Seeing that things were getting a bit complicated, Tobirama Senju spoke up again: "Alright, there's no harm in letting Akali hear it. We need her help with this anyway."
“Okay…” Tsunade lowered her head with a wronged look and said somewhat awkwardly, “I… actually, in my heart, I don’t dislike Jiraiya.”
"It's that virgin Jiraiya who's all lust and no guts. He never asks me anything and always makes that disgusting face."
"But I can't just take the initiative to approach him for something like this, can I?"
When it comes to her relationship with Jiraiya, Tsunade is full of complaints.
"And it's not like I haven't asked him. I've already subtly inquired about it. It turns out he's looking for some prophetic child and doesn't want to stop."
"He wasn't willing to stop, so of course I wouldn't wait for him. So later I met Duan and agreed to stay, but who knew Duan would..."
Tsunade paused for a moment: "Anyway, after that, I developed hemophobia and started traveling around the ninja world. Jiraiya was also out partying all day long, and it's been dragging on until now. He's still the same deadbeat he is. So let's not even talk about it."
"This……"
Tobirama Senju also fell silent.
He thought Tsunade was too picky and looked down on Jiraiya, but he never expected to get such an answer from Tsunade.
Akali, on the other hand, seemed to understand Jiraiya quite well.
As a virgin, he had the desire but not the courage. From a young age, Tsunade was from a high-ranking family, a proper princess, and she was also very beautiful, so Jiraiya naturally felt much inferior.
Feeling inferior and unable to overcome inner obstacles naturally makes it difficult to take that step when looking at a goddess.
Later, Tsunade sought out Dan Kato. Compared to Jiraiya, Tsunade felt even more ashamed, creating a vicious cycle.
But if you can't take that step, what good is it if the goddess has feelings for you?
Although A. was single before transmigrating, Ka. considered herself an invincible emotional mentor, but was manipulated by Hinata. Rei secretly shook her head.
However, Tobirama Senju, who came from the Warring States period and experienced the uncertainty of life, could not understand the simple entanglements between Tsunade and Jiraiya, a pure and innocent relationship.
He only grasped the key point: "So, you don't dislike it, right?"
