*Chapter 33 Jiraiya: I Always Feel Like Tsunade Has Changed

As for what would happen if the news about her coming and going to the camp spread, this was not within the scope of Tsunade's consideration.

After a long time, the impact would be bad, but if she only stayed for one night, who dared to chatter?

"Tsunade-hime is gone?"

After Shigeru walked out of the medical room and made sure that he was alone, Honda and Sarutobi Mishima came closer.

Shigeru stretched out and said, "She left early in the morning."

Shigeru didn't say why Tsunade came.

As for what happened last night, it was even more impossible to say.

The two captains were very sensible and did not ask further questions.

After confirming that Tsunade had left, they reminded Shigeru to take a good rest and then left.

**I didn't do anything!**

**You've just become addicted, what's the point of resting?**

As the New Year approached, the atmosphere in the campground began to change. Everyone had lost the enthusiasm they had when they first arrived, and many people frequently looked toward the village.

Obviously, they all missed home and wanted to reunite with their families to celebrate the New Year together.

Unfortunately, they had a mission to fulfill. Before the next batch of ninjas came for rotation, they could only stay in the camp and couldn't go anywhere.

"Hahaha, I, Toad Sage, Jiraiya-sama, am back!!"

With only two days before the New Year, Jiraiya, who had been out on a mission, finally returned to the village.

"Old man, next time you have a mission like this, don't leave it to me. Go directly to Orochimaru. I'm exhausted."

After submitting the task, Jiraiya started complaining loudly.

This mission had taken too long.

"Go back and rest quickly, prepare yourself, and have a good New Year," Third Hokage smiled and changed the subject.

Among the three disciples, his favorite was Orochimaru. Orochimaru also received the most care. Because of his personality, Jiraiya was the most obedient one.

Therefore, when encountering some troublesome tasks, Third Hokage would hand them over to Jiraiya for execution.

As for Tsunade, the medical department was too busy. Secondly, Tsunade would directly refuse some tasks. Orochimaru was more decisive. When he had money, he would be busy with his own experiments and research. As for tasks... he still asked Jiraiya for help.

"Old man, let's go."

Rest was impossible.

After leaving the Hokage office building, Jiraiya felt itchy and went straight to the hot spring hotel.

Soon he was disappointed. Because it was winter and New Year, there was no one in the hot spring hotel. Jiraiya, who wanted to indulge his eyes, was disappointed.

If he couldn't satisfy his eyes, he could only satisfy his mouth.

Jiraiya went to Orochimaru, dragged Orochimaru out of the research room, and then took Tsunade to gather together in the tavern.

"Tsk! I'm finally alive. This mission was so annoying that I almost died from exhaustion."

While drinking some wine, Jiraiya kept complaining.

Orochimaru listened quietly, letting everything go in one ear and out the other as usual.

After complaining for a long time, Jiraiya suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Orochimaru was still the same Orochimaru who ignored him and treated everything he said as nonsense.

And Tsunade...

Jiraiya found something wrong. In the past, when the three of them got together, Tsunade would curse or even hit someone when he complained.

This time, Tsunade didn't curse, let alone hit.

What had happened after I left the village?

Jiraiya blinked blankly.

"Tsunade, is the food not to your liking?"

Tsunade had always liked the food in this restaurant in the past, so why hadn't she used her chopsticks much today?

"Maybe the taste has changed. It doesn't taste as good as before."

Tsunade rarely got angry at Jiraiya. Instead, she curiously asked Jiraiya about any interesting things he encountered during his mission.

**Long live!!**

**Is this still the Tsunade I know?**

Jiraiya opened his mouth so wide that he almost fell on the table.

Orochimaru, who was quietly tasting wine, also felt a little strange. Tsunade was too quiet today.

Orochimaru couldn't think of a reason. Since the team was disbanded, the three of them had spent less and less time together. It had been a long time since the last time they met.

After eating, everyone dispersed.

Jiraiya then found his loyal little fanboy Nawaki.

"Is there anything wrong with your sister recently?"

"No."

Holding the book brought by Jiraiya in his hand, Nawaki was reading it with gusto, and said without raising his head when he heard the words:

"Maybe it's because she doesn't have a good appetite, not just her, but Kushina too. After Shigeru left, we didn't have delicious food for a long time."

"Shigeru? Tsunade's little apprentice?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

Nawaki said dissatisfied: "What little apprentice? Shigeru is just learning from my sister, not a teacher's apprentice. My sister doesn't even admit to having a disciple."

"Hey hey hey!!"

Soon, Nawaki's mind was immersed in the book again, leaving Jiraiya sitting aside scratching his head.

He felt like he was missing something.

But he couldn't tell what it was.

Compared to Konoha, which was full of red lanterns, the border camp was still the same.

Honda made two lanterns with red paper and hung them at the entrance of the camp to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

Unfortunately, the red lanterns didn't have any effect, and instead caused many ninjas to miss their families even more.

Nothing could be done.

Noticing that the atmosphere in the camp was not pleasant, Shigeru could only shake his head.

Many people were missing their families and looking forward to returning home soon, but the village had shown no sign of their return.

That was all for the rest of the time. With the New Year coming, shouldn't the village send some supplies to reward the ninjas stationed at the border?

Was Konoha so poor that it couldn't give anything to reward the ninjas stationed at the border? It had no expression at all. It could only be said that the F4 Tiantuan group was not doing anything.

Close, getting closer.

Somewhere in the dark, Shigeru felt that the third fetal movement of the reincarnated eye was coming.

On the night of New Year's Day, the third fetal movement of the reincarnated eye came as scheduled. Shigeru, who was well prepared, took out the white cloth he had prepared in advance to cover his eyes, and lay peacefully on the bed.

Three fetal movements, each lasting longer than the last one.

It may be that he did not have the Ōtsutsuki Chakra, so the fetal movement of the reincarnated eye lasted longer.

The interval was also quite long.

As the only medical ninja in the entire border camp, Shigeru had always been the most valued one. When they found out that he had a white cloth covering his face, everyone in the camp became nervous.

"Shigeru, are your eyes okay?" Honda was very nervous.

Nothing could happen to Shigeru.

As a member of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Mishima knew some inside information.

"Shigeru, have the sequelae of Byakugan degeneration started again?"

"Yes, my eyes feel uncomfortable and I feel like something is beating. During this period, I am afraid of strong light and cannot take action at will. During this period, everyone must protect themselves."

"The sequelae have appeared twice before, and each time they lasted for a period of time. I don't know how long they will last this time."

"Damn it!"

After listening to Shigeru's story, Honda said angrily: "Hokage-sama should transfer you back. You are not in good health to begin with."

"This..." Sarutobi Mishima could hear Honda's words being very resentful.

As a member of the Third Hokage, his natural attitude was a little awkward, so it was difficult for him to accept these words.

Shigeru smiled and shook his head, comforting Honda, who was a little anxious: "Captain, I have already experienced this twice. I can take care of myself during this period, so there is no need for rotation."

"If someone is injured, can you treat it?" Honda asked what he was most worried about.

As a medical ninja, your duty is to treat and rescue the wounded.

If he couldn't even save people, then this medical ninja would become a decoration.
