Chapter 360 The upcoming crisis [Part 1]
"Back...back..."
Although the old Naruto of the Three Dynasties was used to the strong winds and waves, under the real touch and temperature stimulation of the brains of the Three Dynasties, the Naruto of the Three Dynasties, which was supposed to be able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed, inevitably fell into a state of shock.
After all, Tsunade is not just the first one to leave the village among the Three Ninjas of Konoha. Because he evaded the problem of gambling debt collection, Tsunade's whereabouts over the years are even more vague than Orochimaru who has kept secret bases everywhere! In addition, the gradual decline of the Thousand Hand clan and the various traumas that happened to Tsunade. Even the three-generation Naruto, who is a teacher, never hoped that Tsunade would still be able to see Tsunade's return in his lifetime!
It was at this time that the third generation Naruto fully understood...
At the critical moment when the Uchiha clan just submitted the relocation proposal, why did Fugao lose his rashly? He didn't even care about etiquette and influence, and he seemed to force the palace to break into his own Naruto office. What he said before was related to Konoha Sannin, and what the inexplicable premonition of this uneasy premonition that emerged in his heart...
"Tsunade, you...you are not..."
Faced with this ending that had already been acquiescent with him, the unexpected contrast was huge. Even all the perceptions of the third generation Hokage indeed told him that the Tsunade in front of him was really in front of him. However, under the sudden ecstasy that swept across his body, the third generation Hokage still couldn't believe that what was happening in front of him was not an overly beautiful daydream he was on. So much so that after his consciousness was slightly awake and recovered, he tried to ask something while stretching out his hand and touched Tsunade's impression with him tremblingly, as if he was still as smooth and fair as a girl. It seemed that under the baptism of this time, he had never changed his face as young and familiar as a person.
"It's true...I...I'm not dreaming...haha! It's good to come back, it's good to come back----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During this period, the old man with a hunched body seemed so cautious as if he was afraid of piercing the bubbles carrying the beautiful illusion. He even trembled and stretched out his hand, and after touching Tsunade's face, he couldn't help laughing and cheering. Then, while he couldn't wait to ask about his well-being, the third generation Naruto Naruto had no majesty as the head of a village.
But everyone who witnessed all this did not show any disobedience to the third-generation Hokage's actions, and showed a look of laughter. Especially Uchiha Fugaki, the scene of the reunion of the master and apprentice, ignored his own cold personality, as if he empathized with the inner thoughts of the third-generation Hokage's mouth, and his lips rose wildly.
After all, this sense of joy of losing without any hope comes with the result of the feeling of impulse that makes people so happy that they want to inform the whole world. How strong is it? As early as when Naruto followed Sasuke home and took the initiative to confess his life to Fugaya, Fugaya had already experienced it personally.
"Old...teacher?"
At the same time, facing the enthusiastic inquiries of the third generation Naruto, Tsunade, who could barely remain calm, became even more guilty and panic.
You know, because he ran away from the village without saying a word, Tsunade originally thought that from the moment he met the third generation Naruto, this teacher who seemed quite old-fashioned and serious in his impression would scold him, his irresponsible disciple, in a head-on manner. This led to Tsunade taking care of Jiraiya for close attention, so that other women would run to Jiraiya's will take advantage of his absence and take advantage of his own exclusiveness.
When he made up his mind and followed Jiraiya back to the village honestly, he had already made a mental preparation for being scolded... but he never thought that it was not a scolding. For his own unfilial disciple who had defected by following the village rules, he could be regarded as an unfilial disciple who defected. The first reaction of the third generation Naruto Naruto was that he was worried about whether he had suffered any grievances in the years since he left the village! Naturally, while Tsunade was speechless, he felt more and more guilty and blamed himself.
Of course, that's what he said... But in Tsunade's inner thoughts at this moment, even if out of guilt and self-blame, Tsunade involuntarily thought about random things and let the third-generation Hokage scold him, would his heart feel better than he is now? However, it still couldn't suppress the warmth that emerged from the bottom of his heart, from the inside to the outside. Even under the warmth of familiar nostalgia, the corner of his mouth, which was pretending to be serious, quietly rose up inadvertently.
"This long-winded personality is still the same as before, without any change, teacher..."
At this moment, compared to the dry and unconfident verbal response, Tsunade naturally understood that the response in action would make it easier to soothe the thin old man who cried with joy in front of him. So it was originally poured over to his mouth, intending to defend himself, so that he could be swallowed silently back into his stomach. While making a joke, he whispered a little while his arms were slightly closed and he hugged him tightly to respond to the warm embrace of the old man in front of him, which had been missing but familiar.
"Huh...hehe...you...you, first Orochimaru, then Tsunade..."
On the other side, Jiraiya, who had been watching silently and uneasyly, was not until he witnessed it with his own eyes that the third generation Naruto accepted Tsunade's return without any grudges, and then he let out a long sigh of relief. Then he turned his head inadvertently, and saw Naruto standing beside him and smiling at him with a smile. He couldn't help but complain and hum with dissatisfaction.
"It's also a rare trip back to the village, why haven't I received such good treatment..."
"Probably because, compared with the two of them, you are more like a good baby who doesn't need comfort, and you don't have to worry about 'running away from home'?"
Unfortunately, Jiraiya was in a hurry and could not hide the gratitude that was barely satisfied and complaining in her eyes. So much so that Naruto could easily see through Jiraiya's true thoughts just by glance at her. Then, while trying to hold back her laughter, he pretended to tease and joked seriously.
"Besides, although Grandpa Jiraiya said this... but in your heart, it is happier than anyone else to see Grandma Tsunade successfully returning to the village, right?"
"Ah! Go and go—! You guy, what a good baby, isn't a good baby, my goose bumps are coming out... Seeing through and not telling this simple truth, don't you understand? Is it that difficult to save me some face?!"
As the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he knew his true feelings from Naruto's response. After seeing through all the little guys who were big, Jiraiya no longer pretended to be silly. Instead, he rolled his eyes at Naruto and cursed with anger. While no longer suppressing the instinct of the rising corners of his mouth, he showed a gratifying and satisfied smile.
"But then again... Sure enough, although the old man didn't say it, he still couldn't let go of Tsunade and the others who were away from the village... Thank you, stinky brat."
In this quiet murmur like talking to oneself, Jiraiya clearly understood that if Naruto hadn't intentionally or unintentionally stimulated himself and Tsunade with his words, breaking the gap between the two, the last layer of window paper that should have disappeared long ago... Not to mention getting the response from Tsunade who had been waiting for a long time, he would have been able to get the beauty back as he wished. Just persuading Tsunade to return to the village would definitely be an impossible existence for Jiraiya now!
It is precisely because Jiraiya witnessed Naruto's amazing performance in these unexpected events after one by one. It has long since learned from the beginning that the Mizuno couple who had "dead" had a subconscious recognition of the identity of a fragile child who needed to be cared for by themselves when they were first to know that when they were "dead", the Mizuno couple still had blood in the world, they subconsciously identified the identity of a fragile child who needed to be cared for by themselves. And a qualitative change has quietly taken place and has become an excellent ninja who can stand alone! So if Jiraiya had not been reminded in his heart that the little guy in front of him was the biological son of his beloved disciple? I am afraid Jiraiya would probably regard this talented Naruto, who is so talented that he could be a monster, as if he had used some secret method of rejuvenation to maintain the child's figure, as if he had used some secret method of rejuvenation to maintain the child's figure.
Of course, what Jiraiya wouldn't know is...
In a sense, his conjecture accidentally touched the essential reason why Naruto was able to create "miracles" repeatedly...
"Ah, I'm talking about me... I suddenly said thank you, don't you think I'm so stingy..."
After seeing the unconcealed absolute trust from Jiraiya's eyes, Naruto's smile suddenly became more and more vigorous. Then he deliberately shivered and teased Jiraiya after joking with his hands. He continued with a smile while holding his head.
"Hehe, Besides, I just did what I should do... Just like when Grandpa Jiraiya personally rushed to the Gen organization and tried to protect me from Danzang. Do we have to say thank you between our grandfather and grandson?"
As he spoke, he confirmed the ending of Tsunade being re-accepted by Konoha Ninja Village, which was already a foregone conclusion. Naruto, who was also worried and thoughtful, quietly breathed a sigh of relief through these sarcasm words. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Fugaya and Jiraiya to silence a little and follow him to walk out of the office.
Obviously, just like Jirai, who had endless remarks when he met Tsunade and Orochimaru after a separation... For the three-generation Naruto, who was immersed in the great joy of the return of his beloved disciple, instead of standing here like three electric poles, as a source of incongruity, it would be better to leave first when you are sure that you are safe and worry-free, so that the two masters and apprentices who have been separated for many years can get along alone and have a good chat.
It was also from this moment that with the return of Tsunade, a shadow-level powerful man... Since losing the fourth-generation Naruto Naruto, he has been in a serious lack of combat power at the top and can only rely on the third-generation Naruto Naruto to take on the leap, Konoha Ninja Village, finally came out of this embarrassing predicament!
After this shortage of high-end combat power was compensated for... the grassroots combat power of Konoha Ninja Village, due to the disappearance of a series of shit-making sticks such as Danzo, entered a rapid development state that could be called returning to the peak with all efforts by the third generation Naruto. So much so that in Naruto's view, Konoha Ninja Village has regained its position as the leader of the five major ninja villages, and this great reputation that is enough to shock the stings of the four sides is definitely just around the corner!
Of course, although the prospect is beautiful, Naruto is still having some troubles at this moment, and he has to start solving it...
First of all, it was confirmed during this journey away from the village that the strange energy body that was housed in Naruto's body and had a certain self-awareness. Although it has been confirmed more or less, it must be observed for a while. However, when faced with a slight relaxation, it will escape from the layers of seals. Naruto still needs to find a professional to discuss how to place it so as to be more secure, so as to avoid any irreparable accidents in the days ahead.
Secondly, it is related to the first major incident that Naruto has made since he arrived in Naruto's world - that is the death of Danzo Shimura, the leader of the Original Organization!
Just as there is no wall that can truly be airtight...
Even though the third generation Naruto followed Naruto's request, over the past year, the news that Danzo had died was blocked and covered up tightly. However, it still showed some flaws due to some subtle differences that were difficult to take care of... For example, Danzo would regularly communicate and interact with his partners every once in a while.
It is also because of this that when Danzo was silent and disappeared for more than a year... it is obvious that Orochimaru was definitely not the only one who could vaguely detect something wrong from it!
And this is a fatal flaw that Naruto still missed after all his calculations!
