Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Wait, Jiraiya-chan..."

Seeing that Jiraiya was about to leave, Shima quickly called out, but he had already disappeared.

"Old woman, is there anything else you need?"

She looked at him with deep suspicion.

"Didn't I say I wanted to let Jiraiya taste my cooking after so long?"

"..."

Fukasaku knew why Jiraiya was in such a hurry to leave.

Chapter 772 Fictional Historian

Because he didn't want to eat an insect feast, Jiraiya left Mount Myōboku after saying goodbye to the Great Toad Sage.

It appeared in an inn in the Land of Hot Water.

"Is the new prophecy related to Aoba?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

After he came out, he realized that he hadn't even had a chance to ask the Great Toad Sage about the specifics of his new prophecy.

Even if the predicted outcome isn't too bad, it must still be very important.

After all, this time the other party didn't even ask about the Child of Prophecy.

Judging from the Great Toad Sage's appearance at the time, even if he had asked, the other party probably wouldn't have told him.

Jiraiya tidied up his base in the Land of Hot Springs where he was gathering materials, and then hurriedly returned to Konoha.

-

Meanwhile, as the center of the discussion between the Great Toad Sage and Jiraiya, Shirokumo Aoba himself is now sitting in the Hokage Building, starting his day of slacking off.

He glanced casually at the documents that had been processed and filtered through multiple layers of screening before finally arriving in front of him.

It's not just the expansion of the Hokage's secretaries and the addition of Tenten and Ino; more importantly, a large-scale staff exam was held recently, which brought in a lot of fresh blood to the Hokage Building. This is the real reason why Hokage Shirakumo Aoba can be so relaxed now.

When I have work to do, I look at the documents; when I don't have work to do, I look at the secretary.

There was no other intention; it was simply to keep him in a good mood.

Baiyun Qingye put down the document she had finished reading and stamped, then turned her head to look at the Hokage's secretary in a black stockings and bodycon skirt.

Although not as precarious as Samui and Xiaonan, they are still very pleasing to the eye.

"You haven't even finished your work, and you're already hatching some bad ideas?"

Shizune, who was working, noticed his gaze, and without even looking up, she grumbled irritably.

"No, I was just tired from work and wanted to enjoy the scenery."

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile.

"..."

Shizune rolled her eyes at him, then suddenly remembered something. "Speaking of which, why did Karin come to work today?"

"She insisted on coming. I told her not to force herself if she wasn't feeling well, but she seems to be adapting quite well."

Baiyun Qingye shrugged and explained.

"Is she just putting on a brave face? After all, she doesn't have the Yin Seal, and you sometimes move around without thinking." Shizune was a little worried.

Even she had to take a day off to rest back then. Could a young girl like Karin really handle it?

Bai Yunqingye was somewhat speechless upon hearing her words. Even if she sometimes acted without thinking, except when necessary, it was usually her superiors who brought it up on her own initiative.

"Although Karin doesn't have the Yin Seal, she's from the Uzumaki clan. Do you think her health could be poor?"

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

"Is...is it really that amazing?"

Silent felt somewhat incredulous and inexplicably frustrated.

Bai Yunqingye noticed her wavering, got up, walked over to her, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "It's okay, Sister Jingyin, you're already amazing."

"..."

Shizune felt that this guy wasn't trying to comfort her at all, and glared at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

Bai Yunqingye couldn't help but chuckle. He wanted to say something more, but then a knock came at the door, so he had to suppress his laughter and sit back down in his seat.

"Come in."

"Aoba!"

The door opened, and Tian Tian, ​​brimming with youthful energy, walked in.

She was wearing a white, side-fastening blouse with a full chest, her hair tied in a bun, and a beige long skirt.

This is a relatively rare outfit for Tian Tian.

"Sister Shizune".

Compared to her generous manner when calling Baiyun Qingye by name, she spoke softly and gently when she saw Jingyin.

"..."

Bai Yunqingye didn't seem to care much, but instead looked at her outfit with curiosity and asked.

Why aren't you wearing your work uniform today?

The so-called work uniforms were actually the secretary outfits that Shizune and the others wore.

Although they may not be as mature as older women, their daily outfits actually have a unique charm.

"I asked Sister Xiaonan for leave, I'm not going to work today."

Tian Tian pursed her lips and gave a simple explanation without mentioning the reason for taking the day off. Then, she asked somewhat indirectly, "Qingye, do you have a lot of work to do today?"

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease him.

"Heh, so you took the day off today, but you still came to the Hokage Building just to ask me how much work you have?"

"..."

Tian Tian gave him a somewhat resentful look, then, as if enraged, pulled out an explosive tag...

"?!"

Bai Yun Qingye thought that this girl was going to die with him because of his teasing.

I'm still hesitating whether to let the other person hit me or stop them.

However, Tian Tian simply slammed the explosive tag on the desk, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Qing Ye, one explosive tag can buy you a day's time. That's what you said when you were little."

"?"

Shizune, who was watching the drama unfold nearby, couldn't help but blink.

"..."

Baiyun Qingye, however, was somewhat at a loss for words.

The way you're saying that makes it sound like he's some kind of... well, that as long as you have money, you can do anything...

He clearly said that he could teach her shuriken techniques in a day with just one explosive tag.

and many more!

Will some unofficial history about him circulate in the ninja world hundreds of years from now?

The so-called future God of the Ninja World actually developed by selling... during his childhood.

Then a descendant of Tiantian came forward to say that it was all true, claiming that his ancestors had once paid money to search for it...

It seems he really needs to live a long time.

"Aoba?"

Seeing Baiyun Qingye looking like she'd eaten two pounds of food, Tiantian hesitated again, then pouted and said understandingly, "If you're really busy, I can come find you after get off work."

"Ahem, well, I'm not that busy..."

Baiyun Qingye dared not think any further and quickly came to her senses.

He glanced at the remaining documents on his desk, then casually glanced at Jingyin beside him.

Although he's slacking off now, at least he's still on duty.

If he leaves, the work will naturally fall to the other person.

After learning about the girls' plans from Karin, he originally intended to go find Tenten after get off work in the afternoon, but he didn't expect her to come looking for him on her own initiative.

The girl is taking such a proactive step, so he definitely can't let her down.

Bai Yunqingye silently put away the explosive tags.

"Sister Shizune, can I ask you for a favor?"

Mute: "..."

She naturally knew what Tian Tian's purpose was and had been prepared for it long ago. In the end, she just sighed softly and said helplessly.

"I'll take care of your work for the next few days."

Chapter 773 Earning Money Through Labor

"Aoba?"

Tian Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she looked at Bai Yun Qing Ye expectantly.

"Ah."

Baiyun Qingye smiled and nodded, but he had more to do than just handle Konoha's affairs, and then said...

"Tian Tian, ​​go back to your office and wait for me a little longer. I'm going to Daming Prefecture to hand over some work. I'll be back soon, and we can have lunch together then."

"Huh?"
