In a separate cubicle

Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, a lady named Shizune who appeared out of nowhere, and a pig eating while lying on the table.

The four people and the pig sat quietly.

Some people eat like pigs, while others drink alcohol at every meal.

Naruto's gaze swept across the person opposite him.

Shizune was the last one found. Naruto didn't recognize her, but Danzo, that bastard, had a lot of information about Shizune in his memories.

She is the niece of Kato Takadan, Tsunade's ex-boyfriend, and was also Kakashi's classmate.

She has been following Tsunade ever since Tsunade left Konoha.

His gaze shifted from the silent pig to the miniature pig that was enjoying its meal.

The pig was dressed up and adorned with jewelry, clearly not an ordinary creature. Naruto thought it must be some kind of summoning beast.

Jiraiya's summoning beast is a giant toad, Orochimaru's is a giant snake, so is Tsunade's summoning beast a pig?

As both are among the Legendary Sannin, their summoning beasts should at least be of similar fighting strength, so is this fragrant pig really that powerful?

Naruto sensed chakra for a moment, but... well, he didn't feel anything.

Could it be a pet?

It can't be reserve food, can it?

Seemingly sensing Naruto's gaze, the little pig, who was enjoying its meal, raised its head and met Naruto's eyes.

Naruto and the pig looked at each other in silence, and Naruto silently turned his gaze to Tsunade.

He had already returned to his original appearance and was drinking small cups of wine.

Naruto glanced at her curiously; she had golden hair and a young face that looked about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

This face is similar to the one I saw in the dueling arena.

Naruto looked closely and found that the face hadn't changed much compared to the girl form he'd seen before.

No wonder Jiraiya recognized him at a glance. It's just that Naruto wasn't very familiar with him, otherwise he would have recognized him too.

just,

Naruto's gaze shifted slightly downwards, where something unconsciously drew everyone's attention.

That was a veritable miracle of truth.

She was flat-chested when she was a teenager, how did she suddenly become like this after growing up?

How did it grow so big? What did it usually eat?

One of his friends was very curious!

Yes, that's right, Sakura definitely wants to know.

"Snapped--"

"Kid, what are you looking at?!" Tsunade slammed her empty wine glass heavily on the table.

"nothing."

Naruto guiltily looked away, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of radish, and praised, "The appetizer radish is really delicious!"

"Humph!"

With a soft hum, Tsunade picked up her sake cup and refilled it.

"Awaited."

The restaurant staff brought over a small dish, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the four.

"Goo~"

Tsunade picked up another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, her cheeks flushed.

"Lady Tsunade, please drink less!" Shizune reached out and advised.

Tsunade slapped it away, saying, "Never mind me! I'm happy to see old friends today!"

That temper.

Although Naruto had seen Tsunade in the arena, the AI ​​and the real person are, if not exactly the same, very different.

So this is what Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is like?

Naruto glanced at everyone present and then chose to remain silent.

He kept in mind his purpose for coming here—to cause trouble, and in short, to prevent Tsunade from becoming Hokage!

How can we achieve our goal?

Naruto knew very little about Tsunade, so he decided to observe her first.

Then, we'll see how things go and respond accordingly!

"On another note,"

Tsunade paused for a moment, about to fill her wine cup, when she realized her wine cup was empty. Seeing this, she looked up at the person opposite her and asked, "Jiraiya, what are you doing here?"

As if she had just thought of something, she suddenly laughed, "Could it be that they came to the brothels here to 'gather material'?"

"Hahaha," Jiraiya laughed heartily.

He picked up his wine cup and filled Tsunade's empty cup. "I originally had this idea, but I came here for another purpose."

Even Naruto, who had just picked up his chopsticks, couldn't help but glance at him.

As expected of Jiraiya, he doesn't even try to hide anything in front of the woman he loves, openly engaging in lewd behavior!

I admire you!

"You've all read the newspaper, haven't you?" Jiraiya whispered a reminder.

Tsunade picked up her wine glass and downed it in one gulp. "What newspaper?"

"Ninja World Daily"

"I haven't seen it! What's the matter? Just say it!" Tsunade said, indicating that she didn't even have time to win money, let alone read the newspaper.

No, it should be: Where would they get the money to buy newspapers?

Wouldn't it be better to save this money to try and make a comeback?

Moreover, the newspapers she remembered were of little value.

Jiraiya had anticipated Tsunade's attitude. His expression remained unchanged as he stared at Tsunade and spoke each word clearly.

"I'll be blunt, Tsunade, the village demands that you succeed as the Fifth Hokage!"

The Fifth Hokage?

Shizune, who had been observing the two, suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Tsunade in surprise, unable to believe it for a moment.

Naruto!

That's someone at the pinnacle of Konoha ninjas!

Naruto stared intently at Tsunade, noticing that her eyes widened and she even paused in her drinking motion.

But it only lasted for a moment.

The next second, she picked up the freshly filled wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"She's surprisingly calm," Naruto thought to himself. He couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking. She didn't seem like the kind of person who was eager to become Hokage.

Seeing that Tsunade did not answer, Jiraiya began to appeal to her emotions.

"The Third Hokage, he..."

At this point, Jiraiya suddenly paused and sighed, drawing Naruto's attention.

Turning his head, Naruto looked strangely at Jiraiya, who had a sorrowful expression on his face.

Hey, Jiraiya-sensei, are you alright?

What, you're talking as if the three generations of old people have passed away.

Because of Jiraiya's misleading words, the two people opposite him believed it to be true.

"The Third Hokage?"

Tsunade didn't say anything, but Shizune asked a question.

She looked at Jiraiya with concern, her expression clearly conveying one meaning: The Third Hokage is dead?

“That’s right. Orochimaru’s Konoha Crush plan caused heavy losses to the entire village!” Jiraiya nodded with a somber expression.

what?

Naruto's expression at this moment is one of utter confusion.jpg

No, buddy?

Is Konoha really that badly affected?

I'm the person involved, and I'm still here! Why is that old man Jiraiya suddenly starting to fabricate stories and play the victim?

Naruto felt he had to offer his own sharp commentary.

"Perverted Sage! Isn't Grandpa Hokage alive and well? How come it sounds like he's dead coming from your mouth?"

"what?"

Did the Third Hokage not die?

Lost in grief, Shizune didn't react for a moment. She stared blankly at Naruto, then looked at Jiraiya as if to confirm.

Naruto exposed the truth, and Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled wryly, his thick-skinned old face showing no embarrassment whatsoever. "I don't think I said the Third Hokage died, did I?"

Ok?

Tsunade and Shizune both glared at him resentfully.

Ha, what a betrayal of feelings!

Naruto continued his attack, "Besides, Orochimaru has been captured, so Konoha's losses seem to be only average. Why do you make it sound like Konoha is going to be destroyed?"
