Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 440: Did I give you face?
The two looked at each other, feeling only awkward.

Jiraiya was leaning in the corner with an untidy beard, just like he had just entered sage mode.

Obviously, he was somewhat depressed to learn that the goddess of his heart, who was rude and barbaric but had outstanding advantages, was being pushed aside, and that the one who was pushed aside was the one who inspired him on the road of literature.

Lu Ke sat opposite with a gentle smile on his face, which looked innocent enough to deceive people, and he felt a little shy inside.

Even though Jiraiya never caught up with Tsunade, and strictly speaking he was not a yellow-haired man, the other party had been secretly in love with him for so many years after all... and he had just stood up and kicked her not long ago!
Perhaps he couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. After a moment of silence, Jiraiya scratched his head and returned to his usual carefree attitude. He took out two bottles of wine from the corner behind him and handed them over.

"Well, how about some fix?"

"also."

Luke nodded.

I have to say that although alcohol is not a good thing, it is indeed very useful in soothing your mood.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiraiya's face turned red, and his body and emotions were obviously relaxed. He became freer. To be specific, the way he looked at Lu Ke was full of envy and jealousy, and he didn't hide it anymore!
He hiccuped, cried and laughed for a while, and said in a melancholy tone:

"I'm forty-four years old now. I've fought with hundreds of good girls, but I can't get Tsunade. Why do you think that is, Mr. Yuye?"

Lu Ke looked at the greasy and wretched uncle who was drunk, and based on the principle that one should not destroy the heart after killing someone, he swallowed the complaints that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I think those hundreds of good girls should be one of the reasons."

“That’s all for creation!”

Jiraiya's face turned red, and he shouted in a low voice, "Literary creation always needs materials. How can you write realistically without more experience? I'm not exaggerating, but before you came, "Intimate Paradise" was the best in the series!"

"And don't you think that true love is when you still miss someone after having been through so many things? So no matter how many people you have loved, as long as there is always that one person in your heart, that is pure love!"

"I would like to call this theory the First Law of Pure Love!"

Considering that he was also a pervert and sometimes felt that he was doing pure love, Luke felt that Jiraiya's words made a lot of sense, and he excitedly held Jiraiya's hand.

"To be honest, I think so too!"

Jiraiya's eyes immediately lit up when he was recognized, and he burped and laughed triumphantly.

"Teacher Yuye really understands me. Whenever I talk about this theory with other people, they always think I'm a hooligan!"

"To be honest, I think so too!"

"Uh...is this sentence repeated?"

"Don't worry about such details!"

"Ok."

Jiraiya was dazed for a moment, "Teacher Yuye, do you have such a person in your heart?"

"Have."

Luke nodded seriously, his eyes deep, "I have always loved the entire ninja world."

"As expected of you!"

Jiraiya listened in awe and instinctively straightened his body, as if the person in front of him was not a young man more than 20 years younger than him, but a wise old man, a pioneer on the road, a philosopher who should be looked up to.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that the things he was concerned about were all trivial matters that were not worth mentioning. They were just a pair of huge evils, so what was there to worry about...

He can't catch up anyway!
However, Jiraiya still came forward with a shameless face, and asked under the influence of alcohol: "Teacher Yuye, although it is a bit presumptuous, can you tell me how you pursued Tsunade?"

In just over a month, he accomplished what he had been unable to accomplish for more than 40 years. Even though he had given up, he still wanted to learn from advanced experiences.

Lu Ke thought for a moment and answered seriously: "This kind of thing mainly depends on talent!"

As long as you are hit by a truck and reborn into different worlds, and then awaken the cheat code that allows you to share everything, your charm value is stacked to break the limit, your weapon is strengthened to MAX and comes with multiple forms, and your combat skills are maxed out... at this time, chasing people is as easy as turning on Feng Ling Yue Ying.

And if you in one of these worlds happen to have teamed up with a great being in the spiritual world and have analyzed and deconstructed related abilities, you can accurately interpret a woman's heart, making her relax and happy, and by the way, you can solve psychological diseases such as "hemophobia"...

Then all we have to do now is wait for the atmosphere to be right.

Jiraiya crouched down, scratching his head, "Can you be more specific?"

Lu Ke nodded. "Then let me tell you the prerequisites. First, you have to be young, and then you have to be handsome."

Jiraiya:......

He didn't even finish listening to the beginning. He lowered his head to look at the wine bowl, and saw the reflection of a middle-aged man who was drunk and looked a little wretched. He drank the rest of the wine in grief and anger.

…………

The carriage stopped and started along the way and successfully arrived at the Iron Kingdom three days later. When entering the city, Tsunade and her group received an unprecedented warm welcome.

Extending ten miles from the center of the town, there are warriors in military uniforms and holding swords lined up in two rows along the way, all with warm smiles. Outside, gongs and drums are beating, and streamers are flying, as if a luxurious feast is being held.

Tsunade, wearing the divine robe and the Hokage hat, was no longer as casual as usual. She frowned slightly and looked at the lively atmosphere in the city. There were all kinds of banners everywhere, and people who wanted to kneel down and worship Lu Ke as if he were some kind of religious offering. She looked at Lu Ke in confusion.

The Iron Kingdom is a neutral country outside of the five independent nations. It is the hometown of samurai where almost all the samurai in the entire ninja world gather. It always gives people the impression of being cold, serious and upright.

How come as soon as Lu Ke arrived, all these aloof warriors turned into such sycophants?

"What have you been doing in the past two years since you came to the Iron Kingdom?"

Lu Ke shrugged, "Nothing much. I just practiced while researching scientific ninja tools."

They simply built a few assembly lines and produced weapons whose quality far surpassed that of traditional swords on the market. The prices were set low and the supply was unlimited. They multiplied the economic level of the Iron Kingdom several times and allowed the samurai profession, which had lagged behind the times, to catch up with the latest versions.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The samurai leader Mifune stood at the city gate and approached with a gentle smile on his usually serious face.

Tsunade straightened her attitude and put on the demeanor of a Hokage to greet him. After all, they were outside, and as the Hokage representing Konoha, she still had to pretend to be nice.

But soon she couldn't pretend anymore. Mifune walked past her and took Luke's hand, speaking with great concern.

"Luke, after more than a month, I finally waited for you to come back. Do you feel that you can't adapt to staying in Konoha and want to settle here? Your room in the Daimyo Mansion has been kept and someone cleans it regularly every day..."

The corners of Lu Ke's mouth twitched a few times, and he felt that this old friend was a little too attentive. He didn't dislike Mifune's concern, but he had to pay attention to the occasion.

Sure enough, Tsunade's face turned black when she was ignored, and she almost threw away the Hokage's hat and punched someone. Fortunately, Jiraiya, who saw the situation was not good, reminded her.

"Tsunade, this is outside!"

The veins on Tsunade's forehead throbbed a few times, and she took a deep breath before calming herself down.

The original intention was to call Lu Ke over and let the representative of the neutral country, Mifune, as the supervisor, lean towards Konoha, so that Konoha could gain the initiative. Unexpectedly, the effect was a bit too much!
She walked between the two of them, blocked Lu Ke's way, and said in a bad tone:

"Mr. Mifune, Luke is the head of Konoha's Ninja Tool Department and an important strategic resource for us. Please be careful with your words and actions!"

"Luke, the Hokage doesn't even treat you as a human being, he only treats you as a strategic resource. Isn't this objectifying men and objectifying your dignity as a human being?!"

Mifune didn't even look at Tsunade, but only showed a heartbroken expression to Luke. His set of political punches was extremely effective. Tsunade, who had never encountered such an attack angle, was directly controlled for several seconds.

"If you were in the Iron Kingdom, you would never have this kind of trouble. All the samurai would support you. I could send you to become a daimyo directly!"

The blue veins on Tsunade's forehead that had just calmed down resurfaced.

"When you become a daimyo, I will select a row of concubines for you. Each of them will be fair-skinned, beautiful, with slim waists and long legs. You will never have the same concubine all year round!"

Tsunade began to roll up her sleeves without saying a word. Just before she exploded, Luke squeezed her hand soothingly and took the initiative to refuse Mifune.

"Mifune, I am only accompanying the Hokage to the Five Kage meeting this time. She is the protagonist. Please take care of Konoha in the subsequent talks."

"Well, now that you've said that..."

Hearing what Lu Ke said, Mifune barely paid some attention and noticed the cow that almost tore the divine robe apart. His expression changed slightly. He didn't expect the Fifth Hokage to have such great killing power. No wonder Lu Ke refused to come back!
Jiraiya: "Please take us to the meeting place. Are the other Kages here?"

"Everyone's here."

Seeing that there was no hope of rescuing the people, Sanchuan sighed silently in his heart, and without saying anything, he took the three people to the heavily guarded meeting room.

There were several figures in the solemn room. The Kages from the four major ninja villages had already taken their seats on the six seats at the round wooden table in the center. After Tsunade, the representative of Konoha, and Mifune, the representative of the neutral country, sat down, the Five Kage Talks officially began.

At first glance, Lu Ke found that the most eye-catching person was undoubtedly the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

As the weakest ninja village and Kage, he was beaten half to death by the Impure World Forms of several previous Kages. Now most of his body is covered in bandages, and he looks extremely miserable. The follower he brought with him is the pitiful little panda Gaara.

There was no other way. The environment in the Sand Village was terrible, and they had lost every previous Ninja World War. Now, their talent was dwindling, Chiyo was old, and Sasori had defected and taken the Third Kazekage with him. He simply became the Kazekage by being the tallest among the short ones. The only one who could help hold the fort was his son, who was the Shukaku Jinchuriki.

The Fourth Raikage Ai and Killer Bee of the Hidden Cloud Village were a little weak, but generally not affected. The former just had a frown on his face and looked a little anxious, while the latter's lips were trembling, as if he was trying to restrain himself from rapping in such an occasion.

The oldest Ōnoki was the calmest of all, but after seeing Tsunade, he obviously became hostile. After all, "Immortal Reincarnation" was a forbidden technique of Konoha, and the information previously exchanged showed that the instigator was none other than Konoha's rebel ninja "Orochimaru".

Finally, before Lu Ke could even look over, the person who cast a fiery glance at him was the newly appointed Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

She had not yet become the Mizukage before, and she had to go on missions and fight, so she obviously did not waste Lu Ke's gift. Her strength had improved significantly compared to before. Although she was still a little immature, she was fully worthy of the title of Kage.

At this moment, Mei Terumi's eyes were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, like a python that wanted to eat him alive. Luke then remembered that he was taken away by Kakashi after he knocked him out that day, and it seemed that he didn't say hello properly...

He had intentionally left a mark on the other person, thinking that he would visit him and have a good time when he had time, but he was blinded by the huge evil, and he also had to frequently accompany Acorus to play everywhere, so he hadn't been able to visit him properly for more than a month.

Noticing that he was looking at her, Mei Terumi withdrew her charming yet cold gaze and snorted lightly.

The meeting officially began, and the exchange of information was relatively harmonious. Several Kage described the course of the attack and the process of resolving it, discussed methods of dealing with the Impure World Reincarnation, and the possible sources of troops and countermeasures for Orochimaru to fight against the Ninja World.

But when it came to choosing who to be the commander, opinions immediately diverged.

The Kages of each major ninja village all strived to make their own ninja village the commander, and when they saw that no one could convince anyone else, they decisively began to blame each other, and changed from competing based on strength to the approach of dragging the other party into the water first.

"I think it's clear that all the problems come from Konoha, whether it's this attack or Orochimaru who loudly declared that he provoked the Fourth Ninja World War."

Ōnoki was the first to attack, speaking in a stern tone, and immediately pushed all the problems onto Konoha.

Tsunade, who had expected this, did not get angry and responded calmly, "Tsuchikage-sama, Orochimaru was a traitor a long time ago and was expelled from Konoha and wanted by the army."

"I agree. Konoha is always the center of the vortex. Every war in the Ninja World is directly or indirectly related to Konoha. It is hard to say that Orochimaru is not pretending to rebel to shirk responsibility and then taking the opportunity to attack."

"If that's the case, then Konoha shouldn't have been attacked. To put it bluntly, the enemy we have here may not be able to be dealt with even if all your villages are combined!"

Ohnoki sneered, "Really? Then Konoha is even more suspicious. The God of Ninja and the Grand Master of Ninjutsu, with these two as opponents, if they are not in collusion, how can Konoha be safe and sound?"

After several rounds of verbal sparring, and even questioning her about desecrating the corpses of her relatives, Tsunade finally couldn't help it. She slammed the table with an unpleasant look on her face and was about to stand up and get angry.

At this time, Lu Ke pressed her shoulders and pushed her back, his tone gentle.

"Don't get excited, you are the Hokage, you have to maintain the image of Konoha..."

Knowing that Luke's dissuasion was correct, Tsunade frowned and sat down obediently, but she still felt aggrieved and particularly unhappy.

Just then, she heard Luke slowly finish the rest of his words.

“And I wouldn’t have to maintain an appearance.”

He looked at Ōnoki and smiled as he uttered the curse words.

"You old bitch, your mouth stinks so much, is it because you ate shit? Am I giving you too much face?"

The air in the dull meeting room condensed.

Everyone looked at Lu Ke, surprised that a henchman had the guts to confront a shadow directly.

Oonoki's face suddenly turned gloomy.
