In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Having Tsunade teach him how to gamble? Good heavens, what's the difference between that and throwing money into the water?

Tsunade is a notorious fat sheep.

He only wins when someone close to him is in serious danger; otherwise, he loses everything.

Before becoming Hokage, he was heavily in debt, and giving his money to Tsunade to gamble was much faster than burning money with a lighter.

"Humph!"

"Ah, I really miss the sake from the tavern. I haven't had a drink in ages since I became Hokage. Tenyu, why don't you keep me company tonight... Never mind, I forgot you're only thirteen. You're not old enough to drink yet."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing this, Tianyu felt somewhat helpless.

However, he did not refute it. Although he now looks so young that people can't help but overlook his age and treat him as a peer.

However, his actual age is indeed only thirteen years old.

So it's best to avoid alcohol altogether.

"The feast is here!"

Silently push open the door.

Immediately, a waiter brought out a table full of delicious food.

These dishes are all local delicacies from the capital of the Land of Fire. Normally, if you wanted to know about the food on this table, you would have to spend at least 10,000 taels.

But perhaps Kazatori had already given instructions.

So the innkeeper never mentioned charging money.

Instead, he smiled and brought out the best food.

Chapter 245 Unexpected Situations

"Okay, time to eat."

Tsunade smiled, got off the bed, and started eating while holding Ton-Ton.

Tianyu also sat down to one side.

Start enjoying your meal.

You know what, the food here is actually pretty good.

This chestnut yokan, in particular, is incredibly delicious.

Even Tianyu, who doesn't particularly like sweets, couldn't resist eating several.

Tsunade and Shizune need no further explanation.

Jingyin even secretly asked the owner how to make chestnut yokan.

It seems they want to recreate this dessert when they get back.

I don't know if a silent one can be made.

But we can look forward to Tianyu.

Because I need to report the situation to the lord the next day.

That night, Tsunade could only stay quietly in her room to rest.

.........

However, something happened in Konoha that very day.

The once clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and then a huge figure appeared directly in front of everyone.

For a moment, everyone in Konoha looked at the huge phantom that had appeared in the sky.

When the phantom appeared, everyone in Konoha was stunned.

Because they didn't know what the phantom was there to do.

When this phantom appeared, the ANBU forces left behind by Konoha were also on guard in secret.

If any danger arises in the surrounding area, they will rush to the Hokage's office immediately to protect the Second Hokage and his party.

However, compared to protecting the Second Hokage, it should be the First Hokage and the Second Hokage who should be protected.

The remaining Jonin in the village began to assemble, and they guarded various key checkpoints in the village.

They were on guard against an enemy invasion.

At the same time, the phantom in the sky slowly spoke.

"I am Hiruko, a ninja from Konoha. Through the Oni-Garra Technique, I have already acquired the bloodline limit ninjutsu of the four great ninja villages. When I obtain the fifth bloodline limit, I will be invincible and become a perfect ninja with an immortal body. I will use this power to trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War and then dominate everything."

The phantom in the sky slowly spoke, revealing its purpose.

After Hiruko finished speaking, the illusory figure dissipated.

Konoha once again enjoyed clear skies.

"Hiruko, I think I've heard that name before!"

The Second Hokage stood by the window, frowning.

Hiruko, Konoha did indeed have such a ninja, but it could never have been a boy, because that ninja was the same age as Tsunade and the others.

If he were still alive, he would be at least the same age as Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was originally teaching Naruto, since the Rasengan was not the end goal. By mixing other attributes into the Rasengan, its power could be made even stronger.

However, even Minato Namikaze couldn't create this technique, so Jiraiya didn't know how to do it either.

He and Naruto were slowly figuring it out together.

But when Jiraiya saw the phantom in the sky, his pupils contracted.

Because he actually saw his childhood playmate.

"Alright, you lecherous immortal, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya and asked with some confusion. Then Naruto also noticed the phantom in the sky.

"That must be a boy, right? He looks so young, but I've never seen him in Konoha. Well, Perverted Sage, do you know him?"

Naruto asked curiously.

At the same time, he looked at Jiraiya, and it was at this moment that Naruto noticed that Jiraiya's hands were trembling.

It was as if something major had happened.

"Naruto, you continue your training. I need to go to the Hokage's office."

After saying that, Jiraiya ran straight to the Hokage's office.

"Second Hokage, did you see that phantom just now?"

Jiraiya, panting heavily, rushed to the Hokage's office without stopping. He pushed open the door and entered without even bowing, and began to speak.

"That phantom in the sky, there's probably no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can't see it. You ran away in such a sorry state, hurry up and tidy yourself up."

Tobirama Senju glanced at Jiraiya and said with a hint of disdain.

"it is good!"

Jiraiya was panting, and after he finally caught his breath, he looked at Tobirama Senju and continued speaking.

"The phantom that just appeared was Hiruko, who was my playmate, Tsunade's, and Orochimaru's friend. However, Hiruko died during the Third Shinobi World War. Even if he were still alive, he wouldn't look like a boy. So, we absolutely cannot believe this phantom that claims to be Hiruko."

Jiraiya is a very good person.

When Orochimaru left Konoha, Jiraiya relentlessly pursued him.

He wanted to ask Orochimaru why he left, as he had never believed that Orochimaru would betray Konoha.

As he had suspected, Orochimaru's departure from Konoha was indeed for a hidden reason.

Therefore, he was unwilling to doubt his childhood playmate, Birukhu, who had now turned out to be a despicable and shameless scoundrel.

"I will naturally have the secret service investigate this matter. You don't need to worry. Just focus on your own business."

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, gave Jiraiya a meaningful look after hearing his words.

"But……"

"No buts. Don't forget your own identity. Also, he went missing during the Third Shinobi World War, and his body was never found. That means there's still a possibility that he's alive. You just heard that he used the Demon Fang Technique to devour the bloodline limits of other ninjas from the Four Great Nations. So, even if he used this technique to make himself younger, it wouldn't be impossible."

The Second Hokage looked at Jiraiya and said.

After all, the Impure World Reincarnation technique was invented by Tobirama Senju.

As the inventor of this forbidden technique, Tobirama Senju certainly knew that there were many powers in this world that could make a person younger.

Similarly, it can also give that person more power.

However, these ninjutsu techniques come at a great cost.

And sometimes the price is a precious life.

That's why Tobirama Senju sealed away most of the ninjutsu he invented.

It's because he knows the dangers of this technique.

"Yes, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya had no choice but to obey.

After saying this, Jiraiya bowed and left the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, what should we do now?"

Nara Shikaku looked at Senju Tobirama with respect.

In Tobirama Senju's time, Shikaku Nara hadn't even been born yet, but that didn't stop Shikaku from growing up listening to the legends of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

These two are the most powerful Hokage in Konoha. Even standing right in front of them, you can feel the immense chakra emanating from their bodies.
