Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"asshole!"

"These newborns are definitely not going to behave themselves. Naruto was right, they're beyond saving!"

"What were their faces like when Lady Tsunade came to power?"

"What was your attitude when you left Konoha?"

"You're actually thinking of coming back now?"

"A bunch of shameless beasts!"

Kurenai patted Anko on the shoulder. "Anko, calm down."

"Didn't we anticipate this?"

"It's alright, now we just wait for news from Lady Tsunade."

"Jiraiya has already gone to the Hokage Building."

Red Bean retorted angrily, "This isn't over! Every time that trashy Leaf Village of theirs is built, I'll go and destroy it!"

"Let them become homeless, and eventually they'll all become slaves to the nobles of the Land of Fire!"

Kurenai shook her head and smiled: "Now the common people of the Land of Fire are all rushing to Konoha. Those nobles are used to being served by others. If those beasts go there, they will definitely not have time to rest. Even whether they can get enough to eat will be a problem."

On the other side, Matt Kai's molars were practically grinding to pieces.

Kakashi is talking to a girl?

Damn it!

No wonder I haven't been cultivating with him lately.

That's right, because of the changes in the ninja world, the spy Karin no longer has to suffer.

The first thing to do is to go to Konoha, which is now the place that everyone in the ninja world longs for.

When Kotetsu and Izumo asked her about her purpose in coming to the village, she very directly said Kakashi Hatake's name.

Gangzi Tie then led her to Kaka Xu, who was training with Might Guy.

Hence the present scene.

Rin has been hiding at Naruto's house lately.

She always felt like someone was spying on her when she was at home.

After hiding in Naruto's house, that feeling disappeared.

Clearly, Obito with dual Kamui is still lurking.

Furthermore, he learned that someone seemed to be able to enter his divine space.

It has become more cautious.

Meanwhile, the teachers of the ninja academies in the other four major ninja villages have been holding meetings during this period.

Kurama was not idle either; he led another group to a meeting with other ninja villages and small countries in the ninja world.

Standardize writing and unify the gauge of carts.

......

"Just as the White Snake Sage said, Orochimaru is no longer obeying orders."

Tianxin Shenji snorted coldly.

"But there's no other way. The path of contacting Naruto through Orochimaru is no longer feasible."

"How about... we go find Kabuto Yakushi?"

As soon as Princess Ichikishima finished speaking, Princess Tsuratsu shook her head and said:

"We can't get in touch with Yakushi Kabuto either, so there's a high chance we'll be turned away."

"This is Konoha, let's just follow the rules."

"Really... Princess Tsurugi, let's find out about Naruto first."

Princess Ichikishima quickly raised her hand, "I know how to do this!"

Princess Tianxin narrowed her eyes. "How do you plan to gather information?"

"Just ask."

The two snake-women exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "It won't be long before we're arrested."

"What should we do then?"

Just then, the researcher who came out of the laboratory came to the three of them.

"Lord Orochimaru still has experiments to conduct... This is for you."

Princess Tsurugi took the book he handed her.

The three snake aunts looked over at the same time.

[Ninja World Encyclopedia - Famous Figures]

Turning to the first page reveals information about Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha.

"Hmm... Sometimes there are storytellers in Konoha Square. If you can't understand these words, you can go listen to them later."

Three Snake Aunt: "..."

They made all sorts of preparations, only to find the intelligence right in front of them.

Thank you.

After thanking her, Princess Tsuratsuki led the two snake-like women out of the laboratory.

"One, two, three, four... Wow!"

"What's wrong, Princess Ichikishima?"

"Look, this is what I took when I came out, this Naruto Uzumaki..."

Princess Tianxin raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"A renowned gourmet in the ninja world?"

Princess Tsuratsu murmured, "A terrifying master of illusion?"

The three Snake Aunts each had different focuses.

"Who are the three of you?"

"What are you doing with Naruto's picture?"

A red figure appeared right on time.

Two other women with long red hair followed behind.

......

Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Building.

"Come in."

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade rubbed her temples and asked Shizune to massage her shoulders.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the Hokage's office was slowly pushed open.

"Jiraiya, speak up. If you can't give me a reason for trespassing in the Hokage Building, don't blame me for being impolite."

With just one sentence, Jiraiya lost any chance to play the emotional card.

"Tsunade."

Jiraiya approached the desk, his brow furrowed.

"What did you do to Sarutobi-sensei?"

Tsunade didn't even look up, continuing to review the scrolls.

Silent replied without expression:

"Jiraiya, if you broke into the Hokage Building just for this, then tomorrow you'll be working with the culprit, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with some disbelief.

At this moment, Tsunade felt extremely unfamiliar to him.

His feelings were incredibly complicated. "Tsunade, is there really no way to resolve this?"

click-

The pen in Tsunade's hand was snapped in two.

"roll."

Jiraiya closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"Tsunade, you should know that those villagers were just bewitched."

"They were once part of Konoha too, what you're doing is...too heartless."

Snapped--

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, a book was thrown at his face.

"What are you doing?!"

Feeling insulted, Jiraiya let out a low growl.

Tsunade then slowly raised her head and glanced at him coldly.

"See for yourself."

Jiraiya lowered his head in confusion.

The book that Tsunade had just thrown at his face had a page listing the crimes of former Konoha officials, villagers, and ninjas.

Furthermore, this book seems to be quite popular, as it appears to have just been updated.

Jiraiya picked up the "book" and turned the pages one by one, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Page after page of crimes, put together, they form a 'book'.

However, after slowly putting down the 'book', Jiraiya smiled wryly:

"Tsunade, they are innocent because they were ignorant."

"You can't pin the mistakes that Mitokado Haru and Utatane Koharu made on them."

"Konoha is such a big place, it shouldn't be so narrow-minded, constantly dwelling on the past... It should be inclusive and tolerant."

"Let them come back; they can atone for their crimes through good deeds."

Snapped--

Tsunade tossed another book over without even looking up.

The document details what these former Konoha villagers and ninjas did after they returned.

Jiraiya's face darkened.

But after thinking of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he firmly shook his head.

"Tsunade, stop Naruto... If this continues, it will bring annihilation to the ninja world!"

"puff--"

"Hahaha~"

As Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade and Shizune exchanged a glance.

Then he burst into laughter, his body trembling with ecstasy.

whoosh-

thump—

Without warning, Tsunade appeared in front of Jiraiya and punched him in the stomach.

Rumbling--

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya flew out like a cannonball, smashing through the wall behind him.

"Get out of here!"

"If you dare set foot in the Hokage Building again, you can forget about ever returning to Konoha!"

"If you're not happy, go find your prophetic son!"

After saying that, Tsunade returned to her seat.

"Lady Tsunade, are you just going to let him go like that?"

Tsunade sneered, "Do you know why he came?"

"I know." Shizune nodded slightly.

Tsunade shook her head and said, "It's not just because of those former villagers and ninjas, but also because they come from Mount Myōboku."

"What?"

"Could it be... that Mount Myōboku is going to be there?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "That's right, those toads are courting death."

"That Gamamaru from back then was the Great Toad Sage that Jiraiya mentioned."

"After helping the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki seal Kaguya-hime, Mount Myōboku has been developing very well over the years, and it even has the potential to become the leader of the three holy lands."

"However, Kurama mentioned that after Kaguya was sealed away, the Sage of Six Paths never contacted the old toad who 'helped' him see through everything."

Silent also thought of some key points.

"Lady Tsunade, is Mount Myōboku about to make a move?"

Tsunade raised her hand with a cold smile, bit her finger, and said, "Summoning Jutsu."

boom--

As the white smoke dissipated, a small slug appeared.

"Once Naruto returns, the matter of the three sacred lands should be resolved."

"Also... it seems Kushina went to find those three snakes from Ryuchi Cave."

Shizune frowned and said, "Ryuchi Cave also wants to be released?"

Who knows?

......

On the other side, Jiraiya, who had been knocked away, lay quietly on the ground.

He looked at the azure sky, remained silent for a long while, and then slowly sat up.

"Without great love...this is not what a prophetic child should be like."

"The Great Toad Sage's prophecies are never wrong."

He stood up and walked towards Konoha Street, where Hiruzen Sarutobi was probably sweeping.

"Sarutobi-sensei is still the Hokage, and so many days have passed; it's time to stop this punishment."

"Although Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado did some foolish things, their intentions were all for Konoha."

"The former villagers and ninjas all know they were wrong, but they won't be allowed to come back, and they're even going to be beaten up... They've suffered enough these past few days."

"Hatred only breeds hatred; only mutual understanding can change things."

"It's a pity... Naruto is not the child of prophecy."

Jiraiya approached Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Sarutobi-sensei".

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sweeping the floor, suddenly shuddered.

He then turned around and saw Jiraiya standing behind him.

His heart raced, and he was overjoyed.

"Great!"

"Naruto is right. As long as I work hard, I'll definitely gain everyone's recognition. Even Jiraiya still acknowledges me as his teacher!"

"Hahaha... It won't be long before Konohamaru stops turning away whenever he sees me!"

Jiraiya's eyes were filled with remorse.

He only came forward now.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's tattered Hokage robes and his aged face.

"Sarutobi-sensei, you don't need to work anymore. Come with me and don't suffer here anymore."

Jiraiya forced a smile: "The villagers and ninjas outside need you."

boom--

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand, and the broom slammed down heavily.

"Everyone, come quick!"

"That brat Jiraiya is trying to incite me to betray the village!"

Jiraiya: ? ? ?
