Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Jiraiya had a sudden thought and decided not to tell Naruto for the time being...

The reason they're searching for Tsunade this time is to find someone to succeed Sarutobi as Hokage...

"gone!"

"Oh!"

……

Just as Naruto followed Jiraiya away from the village, preparing to search for Tsunade.

In a secret base in the Village of Sound.

Orochimaru opened a scroll, glanced at it casually, licked his lips, and scanned the ninja in front of him with his pupils.

"Is this what Shimura Danzo meant?"

"Yes!"

"You want me to kill Tsunade? Why would I do that?"

The Root ninja, wearing a mask, spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Danzo believes that you already know without needing to explain."

Orochimaru let out a cold laugh.

"Is it so that he can become Hokage?"

"After all these years, he still hasn't gotten over this worry..."

"However, I had no grudge against Tsunade, and we were once comrades-in-arms. Why would I kill her for no reason?"

"What good will this do me?"

The Root ninja said, "Lord Orochimaru, such words seem inappropriate coming from your mouth."

"After all, you even want to kill your own teacher."

Orochimaru stood up, and in the eyes of this Root ninja, it was as if a giant python suddenly raised its coiled body, its huge shadow completely enveloping him, ready to devour him at any moment!

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"You think you can guess what I'm thinking?"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his lips, and his eyes had transformed into eerie, vertical snake pupils!

"No...don't dare..."

"These are all Lord Danzo's intentions..."

"Furthermore, Lord Danzo also said that it's fine if you really don't want to kill her, as long as you stop Jiraiya from persuading her to return to the village!"

Orochimaru gave a sinister smile: "Enough with the nonsense, what are your conditions?"

"Of course, it's the thing that Lord Orochimaru desires most..."

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly.

"Uchiha..."

"Sasuke?"

"Why should I believe Danzo could send him here?"

The Root ninja swallowed hard.

"As long as Lord Orochimaru can stop Tsunade, Lord Danzo will be the rightful Hokage, and then dealing with Sasuke Uchiha will be a piece of cake."

"Even if we can't openly hand him over to Lord Orochimaru, there are countless ways to do it!"

"Lord Danzo said that he and you have cooperated tacitly for many years, and this time will be no different. He hopes that Lord Orochimaru will not betray our past friendship..."

Orochimaru laughed heartily.

"Friendship..."

"It's even more ridiculous to hear such words coming from Danzo's mouth."

"However, this deal is actually quite good..."

"Go back."

Upon hearing this, the Root ninja breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Orochimaru had agreed to cooperate.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Orochimaru!"

"Lord Danzo, we await your good news!"

Watching the departing figures of the Root ninjas, Kabuto Yakushi, standing behind Orochimaru, frowned slightly.

"Is it possible to trust someone like Danzo?"

Kabuto Yakushi had been in contact with Danzo since childhood, and it could even be said that Danzo ruined his life, so naturally he wouldn't have a good impression of him.

Orochimaru, however, chuckled.

"As long as a person has desires, there is always a possibility of cooperation."

"And that dark old dog Danzo, no one understands his desires better than me..."

Yakushi Kabuto said, "That's true, but what should we do?"

"Stop Jiraiya from persuading Tsunade to return to the village..."

"First, we need to find traces of these two people, right?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, revealing a sinister and eerie smile.

"I do know a place that Tsunade might go to..."

"Where?"

"Tansaku Castle."

……

"Anossa, Anossa, the lustful sage..."

"Where exactly are we supposed to go to find Granny Tsunade?"

Naruto carried a huge backpack that looked like he was carrying a small mountain, making him quite eye-catching as he walked down the street.

Although he was drenched in sweat and every step felt incredibly heavy, Naruto didn't complain and had even gradually gotten used to the burden.

Jiraiya said, "Since leaving the village, Tsunade has been traveling all over the world, making her home wherever she goes. It's hard to say exactly where she is, but there is one place she might go."

"It's a place called Tanzaku Castle. It's a famous cultural heritage site in the Land of Fire. It's said that it was already a bustling town before Konoha was even established, a very lively place..."

Naruto's heart skipped a beat: "Great!"

"I happen to need quite a few things and want to buy them!"

"Oh? What?"

Naruto listed them off like a pro: "Well, first, I want leg wraps and arm wraps like Lee's, then I also want a good sword, and besides that..."

Jiraiya interrupted him.

"Swords and blades?"

What do you need this for?

"I don't recall ever knowing you were skilled in swordsmanship?"

Naruto chuckled and said, "I recently wanted to learn a new ninjutsu, or more precisely, a legendary taijutsu called..."

"Wind Release! Vacuum Sword!"

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat: "Oh? That technique... I think I've seen it in Konoha before..."

"That was used by a guy named Shirokumo Hayama..."

"That is indeed a very powerful technique."

Naruto was also taken aback: "So there are people in Konoha who have mastered Wind Release ninjutsu?!"

"Why didn't you say so sooner, you lecherous immortal!"

Jiraiya said, "Shouldn't I be the strange one?"

"Naruto, if you don't know any of this, then where did you get this move from?"

Naruto was speechless.

He can't exactly say it's a reward from the system's tasks, can he?

"Well... cough cough, I figured it out myself!"

Jiraiya was skeptical, but he had heard about Naruto creating the Shadow Clone Technique and the Wind Instantaneous Movement Technique, so it wasn't too far-fetched.

"Okay, once we get to Tanabata Street, we can buy the best of these things, and then..."

"Let's search for Tsunade while training in new and powerful ninjutsu!"

"Oh!"

……

The style of painting changed.

Naruto looked at the lecherous sage, surrounded by beautiful women, amidst the bright lights and revelry, and his face was beaming with joy.

"What a lecherous immortal!"

"Is this what you call spiritual practice?!"

Chapter 135 Rasengan! Summoning Jutsu! Wind Release: Vacuum Sword! Training pushed to the extreme! Requesting monthly votes!!!

Naruto glared angrily at the lecherous sage in front of him, who was laughing heartily and indulging in debauchery.

Jiraiya didn't seem to care at all. He even reached for his wine glass and took a big gulp, then continued to enjoy himself with women on either side of him...

"Didn't you just teach me the three forbidden ninja techniques?!"

"So now you've broken through everything in one go!"

Jiraiya laughed loudly, "Hey, Naruto, what do you know about the Three Forbidden Ninja Techniques, you brat!"

"Besides, I'm not doing this for fun, I'm doing it for research!"

"Of course, we also need to find out clues about Tsunade while we're at it!"

Naruto was furious: "You're not even trying to gather information!"

"What are you saying, Naruto? Sometimes information comes unexpectedly!"

"Forget it, I won't understand even if I explain it to you. Just take your pocket money and go shopping. You've finally come out, so don't be so stressed!"

Naruto crossed his arms and couldn't help but pout.

"I'm not like that lecherous immortal; I came out to cultivate!"

"Besides, you promised to help me train and teach me new ninjutsu!"

Jiraiya couldn't care less about that at that moment.

"Then you should continue your cultivation. I need to go back to gathering materials!"

Naruto:"……"

He could only shake his head helplessly and turn away from the shop that was inexplicably filled with women's laughter.

"What an unreliable old man!"

"Hmph, then I'll cultivate by myself first!"

"By the way, this is one of the most bustling and prosperous places in the Land of Fire, perfect for buying what I want..."

Naruto immediately became interested and began to wander around Tanabata Castle.

Tanzaku Castle is a cultural heritage site and historical city of the Land of Fire. Today, it is also a famous tourist destination known to the Five Great Nations and even the entire ninja world.

Casinos, hotels, hot springs, brothels, entertainment venues...

It was a dazzling array of items, so many that it was overwhelming and difficult to keep up.
