Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

"Teacher Jiraiya, what if she becomes our enemy?"

"Hmm?" Jiraiya didn't react for a moment.

"She is the same person as Hyuga Hinata." Naruto said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jiraiya froze as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Naruto, you mean her too?"

Naruto nodded with a heavy heart.

Jiraiya stood there in shock.

It was late at night, in a tavern.

"Sir, we are closing..." the waiter walked up to Tsunade and whispered.

"Ah? Is it so late already?" Tsunade finally came to her senses and tilted her head, "Jiraiya and the others went out to buy wine, and they've been gone for so long, and they haven't come back yet?"

Shizune, who was holding Tuntun, said speechlessly: "Lady Tsunade, they both clearly ran away."

"What? That bastard Jiraiya said he would treat us, but he actually ran away with the bill? Is he still a man?" Tsunade was furious.

The waiter coughed and looked between Tsunade and Shizune, meaning: Who's paying the bill?

Tsunade was still furious, "Where on earth did Jiraiya go? How dare he play tricks on me?"

Shizune shook her head helplessly and paid the bill.

After walking out of the izakaya, Tsunade took a look at the bill and was still in a bad mood.

Speaking of money, she suddenly thought of someone.

All the large sums of money from the Kingdom of Hot Spring and the Kingdom of Frost flowed into Hinata Yangxi's account.

"Where has that kid Yang Xi gone? He hasn't shown up for almost half a year since the last time. I was waiting for him to give me money, but he ran away too?" Tsunade muttered.

"He is injured, in the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water." Kaguya spoke suddenly, her words concise and without any emotion in her voice.

"Why do you have to go to the Hidden Mist Village to recuperate? What good medical resources can there be in such a rotten place?" Tsunade was very disgusted.

With a medical expert like me here, you still run so far?

As long as you pay enough, I guarantee you will be full of energy.

Kaguya: "He shouldn't be bumping around right now."

"So, he is seriously injured now?"

"..."

"What kind of injury did he suffer?"

“Don’t ask anymore.” Kaguya’s tone became colder.

"..." Tsunade remained silent, but she was muttering in her heart: Why did I offend you and make you suddenly angry?

Back at the palace, Tsunade searched everywhere in the palace again.

"Where's the money? Where's the money? Where's the money? How can a palace be so poor? Could it be that some of its valuables were taken away by Hinata Yangxi?"

"Don't look for us, we have no money." The White Zetsu passed by her.

"Wait, you should know about Yang Xi's matter, right?"

Toyokawa White Zetsu stopped and thought for a moment. He told her the news he had received from the other White Zetsu, "He was hit by the Tailed Beast Ball and is now unconscious. He is now lying in the hospital of the Hidden Mist Village."

Hearing this, Tsunade stood there, full of confusion.

In what kind of situation would one need to face the Tailed Beast Ball?

Even if Yang Xi can't escape, can Lady Kaguya escape?

For her, it's easy.

Why didn’t you help? Why just watch him die?

Is that woman really that cruel?

Thinking of Kaguya's personality, Tsunade felt that this was indeed something she might do.

She's too strong-willed!

Once ignited, it would probably be like a volcanic eruption.

I just don't know if she is worried or regretful.

Tsunade sighed inexplicably.

Although Tsunade has returned, the other White Zetsu in the Land of Hot Springs are still monitoring Jiraiya's movements.

Naruto pushed open the door of a hotel room and walked in. "Teacher Jiraiya, I have already found out that the woman, no, Tsunade, stays in this village for two or three days every month to treat the sick and injured for free."

In the room, Jiraiya was standing with his back to Naruto, holding a wine glass, and was hesitant to move. The expression on his face was complicated and indescribable.

After a long while, he pushed the cup and drank it all, turned around and asked, "Naruto, what do you say we should do?"

Naruto just spread his hands and continued with what he had just said.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of these villagers, she is a good person with superb medical skills, kind and enthusiastic, and who helps the weak."

"She is." Jiraiya couldn't help but say.

Perhaps due to excessive drinking, Jiraiya suddenly felt a headache and sighed, "Let's take a few days off."

Chapter 78 078 Jiraiya: Tsunade, you are sick! Tsunade: Then kill me!

"Teacher Jiraiya, you can't use a filter just because you have feelings for her." Naruto said seriously in the room.

Jiraiya frowned: "Naruto, you can't be prejudiced against her for this or that reason. Judging a person..."

Having said this, Jiraiya paused.

He remembered that someone had said something similar to him.

"Teacher Jiraiya, have you forgotten that several toad sages have said that they are all bad people and must be eliminated? You often say this too..." Naruto's eyes were filled with confusion and disappointment.

Everyone says this, so why didn't Jiraiya-sensei follow it first?

Sighing inwardly, Jiraiya said in a firm tone, "Go to bed."

After sending Naruto back to his room, Jiraiya lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Retribution, retribution!

This must be retribution. I wrote so many bloody stories with twists and turns, and now it finally happened to me!

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The next day, Jiraiya, with dark circles under his eyes, summoned some toads and asked them to summon him back to Myoboku Mountain.

"Has the great toad sage awakened?" The first moment he arrived at Myoboku Mountain, he found Gamafukasaku.

"Not yet." Gamafuku responded, "Little Jiraiya, is there something urgent?"

Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked, "Senjin Fukasaku, are those who were corrupted by Kaguya really unable to become normal people?"

After all, she was the person he had secretly loved for decades. It was too difficult for Jiraiya to suddenly change his mindset from chasing her to hunting her down.

Toad Fukasaku shook his head. "This should be a problem at the soul level, unless they are stronger than that person."

Jiraiya was silent.

Gaze at him deeply, and Toad Fukasaku said, "Little Jiraiya, have you forgotten what the old man said? They will be unable to control themselves, their words will not be sincere, and they will not be able to control themselves. In the end, they will no longer be the person you know."

Jiraiya didn't say anything, just left with a dejected look.

After Jiraiya disappeared, Gamashima jumped in front of Gamafukasaku and said, "Dad, do we really have to push him so hard…?"

Toad Fukasaku looked into the distance and interrupted her, "No matter what, that person will never let our clan go."

A month passed, and Jiraiya and Naruto did not leave the Land of Hot Springs, but remained in the village where Tsunade had appeared.

In a farmland somewhere, Jiraiya and Naruto were sitting on a bundle of hay, looking in a certain direction.

In that direction, some distance away from the two of them, Tsunade was still treating someone.

"Do you understand, Naruto?" Jiraiya suddenly spoke.

"Understand what?" Naruto replied, and then asked faintly: "Teacher Jiraiya, what are you planning? Either we go fight her or just run away. There is no point in staying here."

"Run away?" Jiraiya laughed, "Naruto, you are still afraid. This won't work."

"Teacher Jiraiya, you are the one who is afraid now." Naruto stared ahead and said without turning his head.

"Haha." Jiraiya laughed with an ambiguous meaning.

Afterwards, neither of them spoke and sat quietly on the haystack.

The crowd around Tsunade dispersed and she glanced back to where Jiraiya was, preparing to leave with Shizune.

Jiraiya and Naruto jumped off the haystack one after another.

"Teacher Jiraiya, if you can't do anything, it's better not to go over there." Naruto shouted behind him.

"Teacher Jiraiya, let's get out of here."

Jiraiya didn't respond and quickly caught up with Tsunade and the others.

"Sigh." Naruto shook his head and sighed for a while, then followed.

“It is difficult for a doctor to save others but difficult for himself to heal himself. The most regrettable thing is that no matter how many people you save, you cannot save yourself.”

Jiraiya walked along beside Tsunade for a while and suddenly spoke.

Tsunade snorted, "Jiraiya, your pick-up tactics are getting weirder and weirder."

"Tsunade, have you ever been sick?"

“Who hasn’t been sick?”

"Tsunade, have you ever thought that you are sick right now?"

"What's wrong with me?" Tsunade felt confused.

"Have you ever felt like you were not yourself, or that you were not yourself?"

"I didn't." Tsunade shook her head.

"You have!" Jiraiya's voice suddenly became very loud and he was very excited, and his saliva almost sprayed on Tsunade's face.

Tsunade took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, veins popping out on her forehead, "You said I have it, so I have it."

Shizune frowned and stood between Tsunade and Jiraiya, "Jiraiya-sama, are you okay? Please calm down."

Naruto was behind Jiraiya, holding his body nervously to prevent him from rushing forward.

"So, you also know about Kaguya Otsutsuki, right?"

Hearing this, Tsunade was stunned and did not respond for a moment.

Thinking of certain things, Tsunade understood and sighed: It turns out that Kaguya Otsutsuki is her real name...

Seeing her reaction, Jiraiya felt even more upset and looked depressed.

"Jiraiya, what exactly do you want to say?" Tsunade asked calmly.

"Kaguya will destroy humanity, and you, Tsunade, are aiding and abetting it without knowing it..."

"Is that so?" Tsunade chuckled.

"Lord Jiraiya, you are really quite inexplicable," Shizune interrupted.

"You won't understand." Jiraiya sighed.

"So what do you want to do?" Tsunade asked back.

"I..." Jiraiya hesitated after a while, not knowing what to say.

Are you saying, I'm here to kill you?

Tsunade looked down, smiled suddenly, and ruffled her hair.

Then, she raised her head and met Jiraiya's gaze, her eyes were clean and pure, "Jiraiya, have you ever thought that it's not me who is sick, but you."

"What you just said is all your fantasy. In your fantasy, I will become a bad person and do bad things."
