Chapter 140
"It's better for minors not to drink."
Tsunade's face showed a rare tenderness, and she gently stroked her brother's tombstone with her hand.
In the end, nothing was said.
Tsunade walked quietly like this. She was the only one in the cemetery, alone, and countless tombstones standing here.
"Duan, have a drink, hehe!"
Tsunade squatted in front of a tombstone, one hand on her knees, and the other hand holding a wine pot, pouring two glasses of wine.
Kato Dan, Tsunade's lover when she was young, died in the war. It was a long time ago, but the memory is still fresh.
It's just that Tsunade doesn't want to remember this painful memory.
After drinking almost all the wine, Tsunade continued to move forward.
In front of another tombstone, Tsunade, with a flushed face, stopped and stared at the tombstone with blurred eyes.
It seems that she didn't see it clearly, Tsunade bent over and approached to take a closer look.
"The grave of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
"Hmm, it turns out to be the teacher's gravestone.
The Third Hokage, not bad, not bad, hehehe."
Tsunade's face showed a silly smile, and she let go of the Third Hokage's gravestone with a smile. It was unknown what kind of emotion was hidden in this smile.
As a disciple of the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage was a disciple of her grandfather "Senju Tobirama", Tsunade's feelings for the Third Hokage were even more complicated.
She also understood the Third Hokage better, but she just felt a little... sad.
As the sun slowly went down, Tsunade's gurgling also echoed in the cemetery.
It seemed that after the sun went down, the temperature also dropped, and Tsunade instinctively hugged the warm gravestone beside her.
The whole gravestone was broken off by Tsunade, and it seemed that she still felt a little cold. Tsunade turned over and broke off another gravestone beside her and hugged it in her arms.
On these two tombstones, one is written "Senju Hashirama" and the other is written "Senju Tobirama", and Tsunade didn't let either of them go.
"Hehehe, grandfather... Tsunade has also become a very powerful Hokage."
"But, just like this..."
"Still... it's still not enough. As expected, I can't quit gambling at all, and I even infected that idiot Jiraiya."
"Mmm..."
Tsunade talked in her sleep and fell asleep again.
How could she not know about Jiraiya's changes.
Although Tsunade doesn't know the Sage Mode of the Wet Bone Forest, she is too familiar with Jiraiya and life energy.
Jiraiya died, but he was reborn again with some secret technique.
But Tsunade knew that this level of secret technique must have a great price to pay, or it must be extremely dangerous.
She also understood that Jiraiya had already placed a bet in this era, but as a senior gambler, Tsunade didn't know that at the gambling table, besides the dealer, who else could always win?
And that dealer was Shanks, the strongest man in the ninja world.
On the other hand, Jiraiya also had his own worries.
This time when he went to the Fire Capital, he was not only going to meet the daimyo of the Fire Country, but also needed to figure out some things about the ancient nobles and the Six Paths Sage.
"How much does Shanks know? Although there are no major problems now, it is a big hidden danger no matter how you look at it."
Jiraiya could only worry at this time.
The more you know, the more you don't know. Even Jiraiya, who is a top sage, feels powerless.
He has walked at the forefront of this era.
But it is because of this that he understands that this era has not yet reached its climax.
Shanks opened the curtain of a new era, and now, it is just the prelude to a new era.
As the sun rose in the morning, Jiraiya followed the trajectory of the sun and stepped into the capital of the Fire Capital step by step.
Finally, he stopped outside the daimyo's mansion.
The sun passed through Jiraiya, illuminating the entire daimyo's mansion. Jiraiya's white hair had turned into a white flame, and a blush appeared under his eyes.
Jiraiya looked up at the towering daimyo's mansion, which was shining brightly under the early sun.
On the highest tower, a short figure stood on the top of the tower, looking at Jiraiya with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Sage!!"
Jiraiya also saw the other party.
"Hehehe!"
Jiraiya grinned, and stepped into the daimyo's mansion with a pair of worn-out clogs under his feet.
Chapter 152 The Foundation of the World Nobles
"Are you here?"
"Jiraiya, the strong man of Konoha Ninja Village in the Fire Country.
It is said that he is also an extremely powerful person in the ninja world."
"Hehe, since he is so powerful, how could he fail even such an ordinary escort mission?"
In the mansion, the daimyo of other major countries also mocked the daimyo of the Fire Country, and seemed to give the daimyo of the Fire Country no face at all.
Sometimes, nobles really don't need to give each other face. Besides, everyone has lost face enough in this period of time.
"Enough, if you want to investigate, then just investigate."
At this time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire also spoke, and at this time, Jiraiya walked in from the door.
"Daimyo!" Jiraiya's cold voice echoed in the empty room.
The room was dark, and the whole space was very large, like a tower.
In the empty room, the daimyo of the five major countries each sat in their own seats, located in the middle of the room, while Jiraiya was at the bottom, surrounded by the daimyo of the five major nations.
At this time, the sun shone down from the top of the tower, and all the focus was on Jiraiya.
But when the five daimyo saw Jiraiya's appearance, there were strange expression changes on each of their faces.
"Sage Mode!"
"It's not the ordinary immortal mode, this state."
"Hey, what should we do now?"
At this time, the five daimyo were a little confused. Although they were ordinary people, it did not mean that they were short-sighted.
The ninja family is actually nothing compared to the families that inherit their famous names. In terms of inheritance, the ancient nobles of the ninja world are really powerful.
They are not afraid of anyone compared to the background.
But with Jiraiya's current state, to be honest, they didn't quite know how to solve it.
Feeling the eyes from other directions, the Fire Country Daimyo had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak first.
"Jiraiya can single-handedly protect ninjas and soldiers from all countries from harm. I think Jiraiya has done a good job in this matter."
Hearing the words of the Daimyo of the Country of Fire, the Daimyo of the Country of Wind was the first to be unable to sit still. It was the Country of Wind that was suffering during this period.
There is also the previous "Konoha problem". The three generations of Kazekage in the Kingdom of Wind are all dead, and now there are not many useful ninjas in the entire Kingdom of Wind.
Isn’t this attitude of your Fire Country Daimyo just an attempt to excuse you?
This kind of political game is not only between Ninja Village and Ninja Village, but also between big countries and big countries. Political issues need to be resolved.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind to suffer a loss now.
"Having said that, as the person in charge of this mission, if the operation fails, he should bear the corresponding responsibility.
Are the words of the Fire Country Daimyo excusing the ninjas of Konoha? If all the ninjas in Konoha were like this, then there would be no need for such a village to exist. "
The voice of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was stern.
The Ninja Village was actually only established after the First Ninja War.
Before that, ninjas were just ninjas, and they only existed in a loose form of various families or some wandering ninjas.
Of course, although it is said to be loose, there are actually certain rules, but they are not as united as the current Ninja Village.
"Does the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind mean that Konoha, as a ninja village, needs to be responsible for the Kingdom of Wind?
This accident happened in the Kingdom of Wind. Such a huge country has not even assigned any military force to protect envoys from other countries. As a country, should we be responsible? "
The daimyo of the Fire Country didn't give him any face, but when he mentioned this, the daimyo from other countries immediately reacted.
Although this sentence did not give the Daimyo of the Wind Country any face, and it did not mean to pursue Konoha and Jiraiya, but... it was equivalent to emphasizing the greater obligation of the Wind Country as a country.
You are a country, but you want a village from the Fire Country to be responsible for you. Do you still have any shame?
"What the Fire Country Daimyo said makes sense. Although Jiraiya is wrong, this incident happened in the Wind Country. Does the Wind Country need to reflect on whether its military strength is sufficient?"
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder said that the Kingdom of Thunder, whether it is a ninja village or a country, attaches great importance to the military.
"Jiraiya, what do you think?"
The voice of the Daimyo of the Land of Water was gentle, and it seemed as if he was exonerating Jiraiya.
Jiraiya stood in the middle of the group of people, with a completely indifferent look on his face. He was just going through the motions.
"I'm willing to take all the responsibility."
Jiraiya spoke uprightly, disbanding the Ninja Village? It didn't matter, it was disbanded, and he didn't care.
Not to mention it was the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind who mentioned it, even if it was the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire who said they wanted to disband Konoha, Jiraiya didn't even shake his head.
I have to say that although Jiraiya has a straight mind and doesn't know much about conspiracy, his political acumen is actually top-notch.
Even if Konoha is really disbanded, that is, the original political relationship with the Fire Country is dissolved, if you ninjas want to gather in that place, can the daimyo come and take care of it? I can't control it.
And if you disband, other countries will not disband.
In this situation, if it were the serious and responsible Tsunade who came over, she would definitely be offended, and she might even be really threatened.
But now Tsunade is not responsible at all.
And Jiraiya's brain isn't that bad either.
So when they heard that Jiraiya was willing to take responsibility for this matter, the five daimyo were also stunned. It was over, they had met a master.
"He is indeed the strongest Sannin in the legend. He can have such courage, huh."
"However, since you Jiraiya are willing to take the responsibility, we, the Country of Wind, will not be so stingy. The Country of Wind also has a certain responsibility for this matter.
After I return, I will immediately strengthen the military alert of the Kingdom of Wind. "
The great names of the five major countries all stepped down for Jiraiya, but who knew that this guy just carried the steps over again and climbed up himself.
At this time, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind could only set their own standards. Originally, this matter was just a matter of arguing. Now looking at Jiraiya's sage mode, they didn't want to offend Jiraiya.
You can only bear this kind of anger yourself.
face? Is face valuable? Face is not important at all.
Looking at the awkward actions of the Wind Country Daimyo, the others could only agree.
"It is the same for our Water Country. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the military force.
I will also talk to the Mizukage when I get back."
"It is the same for our Earth Country."
"..."
