"cheers--"
At night, inside the Tsunade family's mansion.
In front of a long dining table filled with delicacies from all over the world, Yagyu, Tsunade and the girls clinked glasses and gathered for a long time.
Ever since he grew up, Yagyu was still inseparable from Hinata, and he spent less time with Sakura and Ino and more time away from her.
After all, they have not yet become independent Jonin, and Teams 7 and 10 have not yet been disbanded.
Unless they get married and choose to be a housewife, they have to go out to work and make money.
For example, Ino is not here right now.
So every time he comes back, without Tsunade organizing it, Yagyu will find the girls to get together.
After clinking glasses, Yagyu and the others started chatting while eating.
Yuhi Kurenai was not around, so Tsunade forced Shizune to have a few drinks with her.
As ladies, Hinata and Kurama Yakumo were eating quietly.
Only Yagyu, Sakura, and Hanabi were chatting about the interesting things they encountered during this period, and then looking for topics to bring Hinata and Kurama Yakumo in, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
As adults, Tsunade and Shizune also participate in young people's topics from time to time.
After a few drinks, Tsunade, whose face was already red from drinking, suddenly said: "By the way, Jiraiya has sent a message, and he and Naruto are on their way back."
"In a few days, they should be back in Konoha."
"Really?"
Sakura's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Then will Class 7 be restarted?"
"Um."
Tsunade nodded and said with a heavy face: "Orochimaru will be reincarnated again in a while. What you Team 7 will face next is the murderer of the Third Hokage."
Hearing this, Sakura's face suddenly became serious.
The memory of three years ago came to mind, the powerlessness and despair faced by Orochimaru disguised as a grass ninja during the chunin exam.
But unlike the fear of the past, Sakura, who has been reborn, said with determination: "We will not let Orochimaru succeed, and we will definitely bring Sasuke back."
"If you need help, let me know when the time comes."
Yagyu said with a smile.
He did not tell Sakura and the others that Orochimaru had actually been reincarnated in advance, and Uchiha Sasuke also left as a winner.
At the same time, Yagyu shook his head secretly in his heart.
Except for Kakashi Hatake, neither Naruto nor Sakura can understand the current Uchiha Sasuke.
One was born without parents, the other had both parents alive.
They have never felt the pain of Uchiha Sasuke losing his relatives and clan members, as well as the hatred towards Uchiha Itachi.
If you can't feel it or understand it, you are not qualified to persuade Uchiha Sasuke.
Even if they found Uchiha Sasuke, it was impossible for Uchiha Sasuke to come back with them.
Only those who have experienced such pain can understand Uchiha Sasuke's mood and have the qualifications to bring him back.
It is precisely because of this that Naruto in the original book made Uchiha Sasuke disappointed in him during the Tenchi Bridge Incident, and even wanted to completely cut off his bond with Naruto.
When Naruto lost Jiraiya, almost turned black, and finally let go of his hatred and fully awakened his mouth escape, he was qualified to return to Uchiha Sasuke.
It is no exaggeration to say that the original Naruto was able to become the hero of Konoha, the savior of the ninja world and the Seventh Hokage, all because of Jiraiya's sacrifice.
If Jiraiya died, Yagyu was curious if Naruto could still bring Uchiha Sasuke back.
"Um!"
Of course Sakura didn't know what Yagyu was thinking.
After hearing Yagyu's words, her confidence instantly increased. With Yagyu as the backing, Team 7 will definitely be able to bring Sasuke back this time!

Five days later.
At 12:30 noon, the main gate of Konoha.
There were very few people going in and out of Konoha today, and it was their turn to be on duty again, Kamizuki Izumo and Gang Zite, who were yawning in the duty room.
At this time, two figures suddenly passed by the duty room and walked into Konoha without registering.
"That...that's..."
Shenyue Izuyun and Gangzitie were slightly startled, and subconsciously rushed out of the duty room to stop the two figures.
However, after seeing a familiar figure from behind, the two suddenly looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Obviously, they all recognized those two figures.
After nearly three years, Jiraiya and Naruto finally came back.
really...
Not long after, Yagyu, who had just completed the S-level mission and officially entered vacation mode. He was coaching Kurama Yakumo and Hanabi in a deserted training ground somewhere who were eager to become stronger, when he received the news that Jiraiya and Naruto had returned.
Yagyu didn't go to see them, but smiled slightly, his eyes full of expectation.
The return of the Destiny Child means that Shippuden will soon begin.
The thousand-year chess game is about to enter a white-hot stage.
——————
In the Ninja World, there is a huge lake connected to the sea somewhere.
It was obviously noon, but the place was filled with white mist, surrounded by pristine areas, full of natural beauty.
A dozen people hugged a towering tree tens of meters high, and a huge pitcher plant suddenly appeared on the treetop.
Looking at the huge lake below, Bai Jue smiled and said: "Chakra is already condensing, and the fluctuations are getting bigger and bigger."
"Um."
Black Zetsu said calmly: "In a few months, the three tails should be completely resurrected."
"The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki should have returned to Konoha by this time."
Bai Zetsu said slowly: "Now that the jinchūriki and positions of the nine tailed beasts have been determined, we should be able to start planning at the beginning of next year."
"At this rate, maybe we don't have to wait until next year."
"Go back first and tell Master Madara and Payne the news."
Soon, the pitcher plant disappeared again.
At the same time, three uninvited guests also appeared in the sea at the eastern end of the Country of Fire, the Country of Waves, which is closest to land.
"Sasuke, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Arriving at the Land of Waves through the Naruto Bridge, Onito Suigetsu held the back of his head with both hands and looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was walking among the three of them. He was handsome and cold, attracting a lot of women's attention. He said with curiosity: "The Seven Ninjas of Kirigakure Village" One of the swords, the decapitating sword, is really in this remote small country? "
"If it hadn't been taken, it would be here."
Uchiha Sasuke said expressionlessly, and then said with fascination: "It doesn't matter if it is taken away. Uchiha Itachi's partner is also one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. As long as you kill him, his Ninja Sword will be yours." "
"Hey..."
Kito Suigetsu suddenly grinned, showing his sharp teeth, and said with full of confusion and confidence: "Kishaki Kisame, the holder of the broadsword Samehada, I really want to cut off his hands, feet and head!"
As if he sensed Suigetsu's desire to kill, Uchiha Sasuke finally frowned slightly and warned: "Remember our agreement, we are not allowed to kill people casually."
"Yes, yes..."
