Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　What just happened? I thought we were doomed this time.

　Jiraiya said, plopping down on the ground, panting heavily, still not quite back to his senses.

　"I don't know, but I'm saved anyway," Tsunade murmured.

　If they continue fighting Hanzo with their strength, Hanzo might be seriously injured, but they will surely die.

　Hanzo has been famous for a long time, and he is one of the best even among the Kage, not inferior to the Third Tsuchikage.

　Presumably, Hanzo understood that Konoha had already secured victory over the Land of Rain, and the overall situation was settled; continuing the fight would only...

　"Facing the Land of Fire, the most powerful of the Five Great Nations, the Land of Rain is doomed to defeat," Orochimaru declared.

　Furthermore, the three of them were not ordinary ninjas; they were all students of the Third Hokage.

　Hanzo couldn't possibly be unaware of this; if he killed them, he would then have to face Konoha next.

　The village's anger.

　The Land of Rain is weak; although Hanzo is powerful, in terms of overall strength, it is far from being comparable to Konoha.

　To put it in the same category.

　Hanzo was ambitious, but he wasn't one to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs; he understood the stakes involved.

　Although I really want the Land of Rain to become the sixth major power outside of the five independent major powers, its current overall strength does not allow it!

　Furthermore, compared to the other five countries, the Rain Country's system is more like a militaristic society.

　All of the country's resources are allocated to ninjas, while the common people have low social status, often going hungry and suffering from chronic illnesses.

　People are starving to death.

　Hanzo, a Kage-level powerhouse, turned a blind eye to these situations, and from a ninja's perspective, it was a matter of survival of the fittest.

　Survival of the fittest.

　In their eyes, if ordinary people can't survive, then they have no right to survive.

　The Land of Rain emphasizes an elite system, and everything is done in the name of the ninjas.

　This distorted social system doomed the Rain Kingdom to failure, leading to numerous uprisings against its rulers.

　This is also the original intention behind the establishment of the Akatsuki organization!

　To establish an equal and free nation where people can live and work in peace and contentment, free from strife and hunger, and where there is mutual understanding.

　Perhaps, but after so much time, it's finally coming to an end. On this battlefield, let's calculate the time...

　"It's been almost three years, hasn't it?" Tsunade sighed.

　War made them oblivious to the passage of time, and their youth was spent amidst the flames of war and death. Looking back...

　Look, time is slipping away quietly in their hands.

　When they first entered the battlefield, they were so full of vigor and confidence, believing they could definitely achieve great things and become heroes of Konoha.

　To dishonor the honor one carries.

　It's a pity that Jiraiya was poisoned first, and the relationship between the three Sannin was put to a life-or-death test, falling apart and causing them to...

　(1/3)

　Distrust.

　In order to regain the friendship and trust among his companions, he single-handedly attracted the enemy, fell into a trap, and encountered Sunagakure.

　Grandma Suchiyo is on the verge of death.

　But that's all in the past.

　Although the process was somewhat bumpy, everyone persevered and got through those difficult times.

　This also strengthens our friendship and bonds!

　By the way, after the war, we were all Jonin, and the village didn't have many restrictions.

　What are you all planning to do?

　"Huh?" Tsunade asked.

　Haha, me! I've already planned it all out: to travel the world and, incidentally, write a novel to be passed down to future generations.

　Jiraiya laughed, his face full of pride, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Tsunade and said in a high-pitched voice:

　If someone asked me to stay, I might consider it.

　Tsunade waved her hand dismissively and said directly, "If you want to leave, then leave. Nobody's stopping you. But why..."

　Why write a book?

　Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked somewhat dejected. It seemed Tsunade still didn't understand his feelings. He replied, "I don't either."

　I know, but the Toad Sage said I'll write a book someday, so I'll give it a try.

　Of course, there's one thing Jiraiya never said, because if he did, he'd probably be met with Tsunade's disdain.

　That is, the Toad Sage said he was the chosen one, and that his future disciple would bring great fortune to the entire ninja world.

　The chosen one of destiny, destined for change.

　How many people actually believe in the concept of a chosen one? Ha!

　If I want to stay in Konoha, the first thing I need to do is learn all the ninjutsu and understand all the knowledge!

　Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, revealing his true feelings to his two friends.

　Asking for flowers

　"Learn all the ninjutsu? Orochimaru, you're really boring," Tsunade retorted.

　Yes, the history of ninjas spans thousands of years, and there are countless ninjutsu techniques. How could anyone possibly learn them all, Orochimaru?

　Why don't you travel the world with me? I'll show you this wonderful world; there are so many amazing things here.

　Jiraiya reached out his right hand and hooked it around Orochimaru's neck, revealing a knowing smile.

　No. Orochimaru refused.

　Orochimaru, I think learning all ninjutsu is a better option than traveling the world. Jiraiya is... well, that guy is...

　"I bet he's using the guise of traveling around to secretly peep at bathhouses in different places," Tsunade said.

　"No way, Tsunade, do you really think I'm that bad?" Jiraiya covered his face, somewhat stunned.

　切!

　Tsunade looked on with disdain and said no more!

　The three of them slowly walked towards the Konoha camp, chatting casually, sharing their thoughts, and occasionally bursting into laughter.

　Another hidden place.

　The Tsuchikage Onoki and the Kazekage Mumei secretly met, each sitting on one side of the table, exuding an air of authority, each with their own...

　Behind them stood powerful figures from the village.

　Kazekage, first of all, thank you for your timely assistance at the last moment of this battle. Otherwise, our Iwagakure village would have been in grave danger.

　"I'm afraid we'll all be ruined here," Ohnoki said first, sounding quite sincere.

　(2/3)

　"We are allies, after all, and as allies, we naturally help each other," said the Third Kazekage.

　Haha, that's a great word to use as an ally. Fengying, although you're young, you have remarkable insight and a broad mind. In the future...

　"Ah, he's bound to accomplish something great," Onoki laughed.

　"Haha, Tsuchikage, you too! I truly admire your strength," the Third Kazekage flattered.

　In officialdom, anyone can flatter; it's just a matter of who can do it better. Now that the two are secretly discussing matters, they naturally both have something to gain.

　Seeing that the Third Kazekage, though young, was intelligent and tactful, Onoki stopped hiding his intentions and spoke directly.

　road:

　Kazekage, what do you think we should do regarding the upcoming three-way talks with Konoha and the ceasefire agreement?

　Upon hearing this, the Third Kazekage's eyes flickered, immediately realizing the important matter had arisen. He subtly said, "Tsuchikage, you are..."

　Senior, I'd like to hear your insights. (3/3)

Chapter 220 Tsunade is Jealous (First Update)

　This content was first published the day after it was released, and was subsequently adjusted over two days.

　Ye Chen's body has recovered somewhat. Although he can't fight at full strength yet, he can now manage his daily life independently.

　Management.

　After all, the battles with the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Jinchūriki had indeed damaged his very essence; he was still young, and his physical strength was not yet fully developed.

　Possibilities are limitless. Although enhanced by the Human-Human Fruit and the three types of Haki, unlocking his physical potential, he can reach the pinnacle of his abilities.

　We should fight, but this desperate approach is not advisable.
