Chapter 043

"It's good to know, but I still want to deal with the important issues first, then think carefully about what I want to buy you."

Upon hearing that she had approximately 60 years of remaining lifespan, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, at the same time refusing to continue trading.

"Why are you so interested in my virginity?" Mei suddenly asked, with the same question as Tsunade.

This question caught Kenzo off guard.

So much so that he squinted at this cunning woman.

"I don't know what you're talking about, my goal is the same as that of a merchant, our interests," he replied.

Mei was not at all satisfied with this answer.

"Yes, whatever you say."

"As you wish, this time I will be out of service for a few days, so I hope you don't regret this decision," Kenzo said in revenge.

This time he was going to the headquarters to rank up, while also updating some completed missions.

"What? That's not fair." Upon hearing this, Mei became irritated and pouted, acting like a child.

Thinking that Kenzo acted like a child for wanting revenge in business situations.

"How about we talk about going on a date after resolving the issue with Kumogakure, I don't know, maybe you'll get my virginity that you want so much."

Mei decided to test her failed charm once again.

Unfortunately, once again she failed.

She felt her buttocks being shamelessly pinched and her delicate lips invaded.

"Mmmm..."

Trying to escape Kenzo's clutches, Mei wanted to fight back again, but she only managed to see a whirlwind of flames.

And the place became lonely.

Mei smiled as she looked at the two letters in her hand, one with an army of Chūnin-ranked ninjas, and another with an army of Jōnin-ranked ninjas.

These completely loyal ninja armies are indispensable in the situation that Kirigakure finds itself in.

Even with this power, she did not return to confront the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who should still be within their borders, instead she continued with the idea of hunting down S-class rogue ninjas from the bingo book and thus obtaining their rich rewards.

"Zabuza, I hope you're hiding well," Mei murmured with amusement as she put on a dog mask to cover her face and jumped among the tall trees, disappearing into them.

As for her attire, she had already changed it before leaving the village.

...

Two days later

Konoha

"I agree."

An important meeting was taking place in this room.

All the clan heads were present.

The topic under discussion was the appointment of the new Hokage.

Senju Tsunade.

Days before, the current Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, woke up successfully thanks to the treatment of his disciple, and upon learning of her willingness to succeed him in the position, he immediately assigned it to her without any problem.

Hiruzen was aware of his inability to continue in office.

He wanted to use the time he had left to guide the younger generations.

So he took on a part-time role as a consultant at the Ninja Academy and planned to make some changes he had previously had in mind.

That was the only way Jiraiya could leave Konoha in peace.

Of course, not forgetting to warn Tsunade about Danzo and his organization.

Something extremely amusing for Tsunade, who just saw Danzo being beaten up by insolence.

From this event, Jiraiya decided to infiltrate Yu no Kuni to see the situation. That's why he was willing to leave the village in advance. He wanted to arrive before Tsunade made a public apology to the leader and asked for the rescue of the elderly consultant.

Jiraiya wanted to see with his own eyes what that village had to easily repel an attack by an army of over 500 Root ninjas, including the veteran ANBU under the Hokage.

According to what he heard from Tsunade, the leader has a very powerful summoning beast, not inferior to his own summonings, where she mysteriously controls someone's body and is even able to influence their actions and thoughts, like some kind of genjutsu.

Tsunade warned Jiraiya to be very careful.

Something that seemed extremely strange to Jiraiya, because Tsunade had never been so serious.

What Jiraiya didn't know was that behind Yu no Kuni, there was an existence strong enough to cause terror in someone.

And he confirmed this when he saw how that existence easily resurrected his brother and his former lover.

Tsunade was not willing to casually reveal it.

Naturally, she was referring to Kenzo, knowing that he had no intention of turning the world upside down.

Otherwise, he would resurrect characters from his grandfather's era as easily as he resurrected his brother to bring chaos to this world.

Still, she warned Jiraiya not to be too arrogant, otherwise she would have no choice but to sever ties with him, in a political manner of course, all to prevent Konoha from getting involved again.

Tsunade knew her old friend.

Who had the habit of spying on hostile territory, regardless of his life or death.

Since Tsunade's warnings were taken casually, she had no choice but to clarify this point coldly.

That was her first order as Hokage.

And Jiraiya, with his character, obviously wasn't offended, instead he marveled, as he could leave the village in Tsunade's hands without any worry.

Only because of this, his curiosity skyrocketed.

He wanted to know what was in that village to make Tsunade so cautious.

She, who used to roam countless territories in search of fun in gambling.

Regardless of whether they were at war with Konoha or something similar.

And in their few meetings over the years, she had never warned him about something like this.

Jiraiya left without touching on the subject of Nawaki and Dan.

As Tsunade hesitated to tell him, or didn't feel prepared, he didn't ask, much less insist on the matter.

He didn't want to hear a lie from the only woman he loved in this world.

He simply wished her good luck in her relationship, something that Tsunade found amusing, because she no longer had that kind of relationship with Dan.
