Jiraiya’s Action

At Amegakure, Obito's room. Black Zetsu suddenly appeared from the ground; Obito glanced at Black Zetsu and asked, "How's the result?"

"Well, Sasuke doesn't know Mangekyō's power. With the help of Mangekyō, Sasuke shouldn't be a match for Itachi. But Itachi lost!"

"Really? Take me there!" said Obito. He brought Black Zetsu into Kamui space. He followed closely from behind and left Amegakure.

Meanwhile, heated quarrels broke out at Konoha Hokage's Office between Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"No, I will say it again. I disagree with your decision."

"Then tell me, who can complete this mission besides me? I am the only Ninja in the village who is best at sneaking in and investigating. I am also one of Sannin. I'll take this mission."

A dreadful atmosphere filled the room. No one dares in the office to try to intervene, let alone dissuade them. Shizune was about to say something but was pulled out of the office by Shisui.

"Hey, Shisui! What are you doing? If I don't do something, their argument soon becomes a fight."

Shisui just laughed and said, "Nothing to worry about. That won't happen. Let's just wait outside. Whoever try to intervene them now they'll meet their end."

Shizune went silent. She knew that Shisui was right. She let out a sigh and waited for now.

.....

A few moments later, the sound of crackle smashing and Jiraiya's scream can be heard from the office.

Tsunade sat down in the chair with a tired look on her face. She looked Jiraiya in the eyes and asked, "Must you go?"

Jiraiya nodded firmly. "Yeah! This is my responsibility after all."

Tsunade's eyes darkened, and her voice was a little anxious. "I don't know why, but I have this feeling that you won't come back from this mission."

"Haha! You worry about me? Who do you think I am? I am Toad Sennin Jiraiya, Lord of Mount Myōboku!"

"But…"

"No buts! Stop! Let's have a drink together! We haven't had a good drink since you became Hokage!"

Tsunade laughed, "Okay! Let's go!"

The two then walked out of Hokage's Office together.

When she walked to Shizune, Tsunade said, "I leave the rest to you, Shizune."

Shizune didn't stop Tsunade as usual but nodded in response.

....

The two came to the tavern, and the Boss has specially prepared the drink for them. They drank together and said Nothing. When they were like this, no one could separate them apart from ordinary people at the tavern. No one noticed that they were Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-Sama, one of the Sannin.

Boss brought the jug of wine to the table, Tsunade and Jiraiya drank for more than an hour. A lot of alcohol made them drunk.

Tsunade raised the glass to Jiraiya while muttering, "This … is an apology for me to you! It seems… since we have known each other, it has always been you who did everything … but lose … No matter whether it is about the previous mission or the previous Hokage…

…No matter how you look at it, you are more suitable for this position. But it turned out that it was me who became Hokage now."

"I'm not good enough to become Hokage. But you're good. It's Nothing to lose."

Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya and said, "idiot! You are such an idiot!"

"Okay! I'm an idiot. Are you done drinking? Let's go back!"

"Oh?... Are we going back? Okay!" Tsunade stood up immediately and walked outside.

Jiraiya just shook his head.

....

The two lingered in the village for some time before going back. When they started to sober, they sat at a nearby bench.

"Hey, do you really have to go?"

"Yes, I am. No matter how many times you ask, my answer won't change. It's man's responsibility."

"Responsibility, my ass! It's stupid! What I really want to say was we haven't had a drink and chat like today for a long time!"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Jiraiya's expression also softened. "Yeah, since the end of the Second Shinobi World War. It's almost 30 years since you left the village!"

"30! It's been a long time and I still can't stand you. Hey Jiraiya, let me go with you!"

"Stop it, you are Hokage, how can you go with me!"

Tsunade twitched her lip, "What's wrong with being a Hokage? Isn't there still Yamanaka Ryo, Kakashi, and Shisui?! And maybe Naruto."

"It's bad for village development if we change Hokage so often. But I didn't expect you to value Naruto this much."

"After all he is the son of Kushina and Minato....He is your disciple too...." Tsunade said the last sentence quietly, so low even Jiraiya can't hear it.

"Okay, now, I should leave."

As Jiraiya said this, Tsunade's expression became more and more tangled, worried, reluctant, and more expression that Jiraiya had never seen before.

Looking at Tsunade's expression, Jiraiya shook his head and forced himself to turn around. He pretended to sound cheerful. "Tsunade, don't you like gambling? Come and bet. You bet that I won't come back, so you must place your gamble to 'Lose'! And if I come back, please… "

Jiraiya's words hung in the air. He remembered the broken face Tsunade made back then. He didn't dare to continue talking.

"Haha! Just Kidding! Goodbye!" Jiraiya waved his hand, then disappeared from Tsunade's sight with the evening sun.

...

It's been a long time since the sun went down, and Tsunade stood up slowly, sighed, and said with her pretended funny voice. "That guy is a pervert! I can't even say a word! Forget about waiting for him to come back and just pack his things up! "

After speaking that, Tsunade stretched her waist, raised her hands, rubbed her red eyes, and went to Hokage'sOffice.

…..

When Jiraiya left, Shisui cut off the Ice Scalpel left by Yamanaka Ryo. In a blink of an eye, Yamanaka Ryo appeared in front of Shisui.

Shisui saw Yamanaka Ryo's eyes and asked excitedly, "Sensei, did you succeed?"

"Yeah! I'll tell you the story later. You call me over, so that means Uncle Jiraiya starts to act?"

"Yes, just now Jiraiya-sama left the village and moved towards Amegakure."

"Okay, I understand. Shisui, this time you and Hana make an excuse to leave the village! Go to Otogakure to find Minato-nii."

"Me too? Sensei, we are the main battle strength in the village… if we leave, only Tsunade-sama, Kakashi, and Fugaku-sama are left. Well if something happens Lord Tsunade can help because she is still a medical ninja, but …."

"It's okay, I have everything ready. The village will be fine."

After a moment of hesitation, Shisui chose to believe in Yamanaka Ryo and nodded, "Okay, I trust you."
