‘What should I do?’ Jiraiya kept repeating these words in his mind.

The sting from the anus, the disciple's expectation, which one should I respond to?

Jiraiya imagined what would happen if he told Tsunade why he couldn't go.

The little theater in Jiraiya's mind——

"Hahaha, are you going to laugh to death and inherit my property? You peeped in the female bathhouse and were beaten until your anus was bleeding." Tsunade laughed mercilessly.

"Have you eaten? If not, punch me." Then Tsunade punched Jiraiya in the abdomen.

"Is it worthy of you to do such a thing as soon as you come back?"

Thinking of Tsunade's terrifying power, Jiraiya instantly woke up from his fantasy with a jolt.

Then he replied decisively: "It's okay, let's go to the Hokage Building together."

Tsunade must not let Tsunade know that he was peeping in the women's bathhouse and was accidentally attacked and injured by his juniors, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at and then beaten.

Tsunade knew Jiraiya very well. Even if a good friend like him made her unhappy, it would not be a matter of severity. If he didn't lie down for several weeks, he wouldn't be able to show off her terrifying power.

Moreover, he hadn't seen Minato for a long time, so it was time to go see his disciple who had become Hokage.

Well, it's definitely not because I don't want to lose face in front of Tsunade and get beaten.

"Well, let's go." Tsunade nodded, without asking any more questions, and walked towards the Hokage Building with Jiraiya.

On the way, the two met Orochimaru who was also walking towards the Hokage Building.

"Orochimaru, long time no see." Tsunade greeted Orochimaru.

"Aren't you all in the village? Why haven't we seen each other for a long time?" Jiraiya complained. He should have said this.

"Haha." When he met his friends who had supported each other in the war, Orochimaru showed a rare smile and said:

"Although they are all in the village, if there is no overlapping work, we will not see each other for several months."

"You guys..." Jiraiya was a little speechless. Even if he was not in the village, why did he feel that the two of them were almost the same as him even if they were in the village.

"Jiraiya, you are still the same." Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a meaningful look.

Jiraiya's anus tightened, could he have been discovered? It shouldn't be, Orochimaru didn't have a white eye.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Looking at Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"What's wrong with being the same as before? Aren't you the same guy? No, it feels darker." Jiraiya quickly changed the subject out of fear that Tsunade would find out something.

"Haha." Orochimaru smiled and said nothing.

"How is it? Have you met a disciple who you want to find who can change the world?" Tsunade asked casually.

When the war ended, the three of them stood in front of the graves of the victims and told them where they were going.

Tsunade asked Jiraiya what he planned to do in the future, and Jiraiya said that he would continue on the journey of spiritual practice, thinking that he might be able to meet a disciple somewhere who could change the world.

At that time, Orochimaru complained that Jiraiya was looking for something to do.

So Jiraiya asked Orochimaru a little unconvinced, "Don't you, Orochimaru, plan to find someone to inherit your Ninja Way and pass on your skills?"

Orochimaru nodded seriously. He told Jiraiya that he had no interest in the so-called inheritance of ninja and finding a successor. His only wish was to learn all the techniques in the world.

Both Jiraiya and Tsunade felt that Orochimaru was crazy about studying ninjutsu. There were so many techniques in the ninja world, not to mention all the techniques in Konoha, and it would be difficult to learn them all in a lifetime.

Then Orochimaru said that it was difficult for ordinary people to live, so he would live forever.

Then Jiraiya and Tsunade felt that Orochimaru was abnormal. How could the taboo realm of life be broken by ninjas?

The God of Ninja Senju Hashirama is not strong enough, he also has to turn into a handful of loess.

"Didn't you ask me about it when we last met?" Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade silently. It was really a bad memory. He didn't expect to meet Tsunade who was looking for the wet bone forest while drinking.

and Nagazawa.

"It's been a long time since that time."

Jiraiya shook his head, and then said: "No, so I will not stop. After the Chuunin exam is over, I will start the journey again."

"So, you are still the same Jiraiya who likes to make trouble." Orochimaru's hoarse voice revealed a slight smile.

"What about you, Orochimaru, are you still dreaming about learning all the ninjutsu forever?" Jiraiya shot back.

The target was said to be a dream. Orochimaru was neither angry nor ashamed. He showed a faint smile on his face and said confidently: "I am constantly moving forward on this road."

The three of them were all powerful ninjas. Although they were bickering along the way, their speed did not slow down and they soon approached the Hokage Building.

After approaching the Hokage Building, there were more ninjas around, and they were basically around thirty years old. There were also young ninjas, but not many.

"Jiraiya-sama is back too, now the three ninjas are gathered together."

"Yes, since the end of that war, I haven't seen the scene of the three ninjas gathering together. It seems that the village attaches great importance to this chunin exam. Maybe there is some special purpose."

The Jonin who also came to the Hokage Building to attend the meeting saw Jiraiya and others walking together and discussed.

To ordinary genin and chuunin, they are "adults", but within their group, the Sannin are their "adults".

They are jounin because of their strength. The reason why Jiraiya Orochimaru is a jounin is that the highest level in the ninja system is jounin. Kage can only be a jounin by himself.

The rare gathering of the three ninjas will naturally surprise them, and they may even speculate whether there is something big going on in their village.

Aware of the gazes of the people around him, Jiraiya was glad that he had not taken off the gray robe used to hide his figure, otherwise these were all jonins and they would definitely notice something from the way he walked.

Jiraiya endured the shock and pain, walked into the conference room with many jounin, and sat down with Orochimaru Tsunade.

However, Jiraiya didn't really sit down, but looked like he was sitting on the surface, but was actually leaning on his legs for support.

How dare he sit in his condition? If he sat down, a flash of red would appear behind his gray robe.

Fortunately, Jiraiya's taijutsu is very good, so maintaining this posture for several hours is not a problem.

Sighing slightly, Jiraiya looked at the golden figure on the main seat.

The young disciple who always showed a smile as warm as the sun became Hokage so quickly. Time always sneaks away when no one is paying attention.

It happened that Minato also spotted his teacher whom he had not seen for a long time, so he smiled at him.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Jiraiya was pleased that the boy who promised to become Hokage had fulfilled his dream and did well. Minato was happy to see the teacher he had not seen for a long time.

Then, Jiraiya looked at the gray-haired Sandaime Hokage to the left of Minato.

"Old man, it seems that you are really old. No wonder you have to abdicate in favor of others." Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's gray hair, Jiraiya sighed.

During the last war, Sarutobi Hiruzen still had black hair.

Sandai took a puff of cigarette and glared at Jiraiya, "Is this the first thing you said when you met the teacher you haven't seen for several years?"

"My health is very good. Jiraiya, do you want to experience the teacher's teachings after a long time?" The third generation exhaled white mist and said angrily.

None of these three disciples could make him worry-free. He was an old man every time, so this time, he was called old.

"Let's forget it." Jiraiya quickly refused.

Just kidding, although Sarutobi Hiruzen now has white hair on his head, he was once the third generation Hokage who was powerful in the ninja world. Jiraiya didn't want to be held by the third generation blaster of the monkey demon.

Finally, Jiraiya turned his attention to the person sitting on the right side of Minato. It was Nagazawa, whom they had met once before in the Bird Country Tavern.

Although the meeting was a bit awkward, Nagaze left a very good impression on Jiraiya.

This is an excellent ninja similar to Minato, who is powerful but not conceited.

Sensing Jiraiya's gaze, Nagazawa, who was chatting with Minato, smiled at Jiraiya, and Jiraiya nodded, which was considered a greeting between the two.

When it was almost time, Minato felt that someone was arriving, so he coughed twice to signal the chuunin to be quiet.

Today's Minato is no longer the cute little rookie he was when he first came to power. He has truly gained the power of the Hokage. Everyone was so proud that they all closed their mouths and looked at Minato. The conference room fell silent for a moment, and there was a sound of a needle dropping.

kind.

"This Jonin meeting is mainly to discuss the Chunin exams that will be held in the first half of this year." Minato said the theme of the meeting.

There is no surprise for the Jonin, this is the latest big event.

After Minato finished everything he wanted to say, Minato said that everyone could speak enthusiastically and contribute to the planning of the Chunin Exam.

"Since all the Tsuchikage, Kazekage and Raikage are coming, we cannot lose the power of Konoha. I propose that the examiners of each link be served by strong men with more strength and reputation." A middle-aged jounin suggested.

road.

This time is different from the previous ones. Since we want to make it bigger, we have to let others see the power of Konoha. Usually, it’s okay for the examiner to randomly choose a special jounin to serve as the examiner. This time, it must be a strong person with strength and reputation.

Yongze thought for a while and felt that this idea was good, so he said: "This is a good proposal."

In fact, Nagazawa even wanted to hold a military parade to scare the Tsuchikage and the others. There are quite a few powerful people in Konoha now.

There are three and a half pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan alone, Fugaku has one pair of Shisui and one pair of Orochimaru, and Kakashi only has one so it is half.

Even if Orochimaru doesn't use the kaleidoscope, he is still a powerful shadow-level combat power, which means there are four shadow-level combat powers.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, the third generation who is old but not completely old, Minato and Kushina, casually counting them are five more Kage levels.

Even if Nagaze doesn't play in person, he feels that if the nine people above them release their momentum together, they can scare the hell out of others and marvel at Konoha's heritage.

But Nagaze thought about it and decided to forget it. He alone can make other ninja villages extremely fearful. There is no need to hold another military parade. No wonder everything will turn on its head.

Of course, the main reason is that Nagazawa is too lazy to do it. The Ninja Village is different from the ordinary army. Most of the ninjas in the village do not clearly belong to the xx army.

If we want to hold a military parade, there will be too many troubles.

"I think more security forces should be prepared to prevent those from other villages from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

"..."

The jonins tried their best to contribute their wisdom and make suggestions for this unprecedented chunin exam.

As a legendary Sannin, Jiraiya also wanted to contribute to Konoha, but under the severe pain, Jiraiya's ability to keep his expression unchanged meant that he lived up to his name as a ninja, and other things did not matter at all.

Think with your mind.

At this moment, he was just looking forward to the end of the meeting so that he could go to Konoha Hospital to have his injured and delicate place properly treated.

Jiraiya's abnormality attracted Tsunade's attention, and Tsunade asked curiously: "Why don't you say a word? Don't you usually like to give advice?"

Jiraiya showed a forced smile and said, "I don't have any good ideas."

Tsunade leaned towards Jiraiya, put her arm on Jiraiya's shoulders, smiled sinisterly and said:

"Jiraiya, something is wrong with you today. Is there something you haven't said?"

Suddenly disturbed, Jiraiya almost couldn't control himself and sat on the chair, but luckily he managed to stabilize himself in the end.

Jiraiya pretended to be calm and replied: "Don't think too much, it's just that you haven't seen me for a long time, that's why you feel this way."

"Really?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya suspiciously, feeling that Jiraiya was also fooling her.

"Forget it, I thought there was something fun." Tsunade felt bored, patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, turned back, and played with her fingers in various boring ways.

"!!!" Jiraiya's eyes were about to burst, and his expression was distorted. It was not because of the magical power Tsunade used to hit him that caused internal injuries, but because Tsunade hit him completely and sat down on the chair.

superior.

When his buttocks suddenly fell onto the cold wooden bench, Jiraiya knew it was over. His persistence for several hours was over.

The pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart made him once again firm in his determination to completely seal this physical technique.

This physical technique is so poisonous!

The people present were all elite ninjas. Although Jiraiya had great endurance and did not make a sound, the twisted expression on his face betrayed him.

"Jiraiya-sama, are you feeling uncomfortable?" A ninja who noticed something strange about Jiraiya asked with concern.

The surrounding ninjas all subconsciously looked towards Jiraiya, and immediately saw Jiraiya's twisted face.

Feeling the curious gazes, Jiraiya really wanted to say, why do you care so much about me? I'm in a meeting now.

"It's a small thing. When I was traveling in the ninja world, I met a powerful opponent. I was injured a little while trying to deal with him. Now I'm just doing it again." Jiraiya explained lightly.

"Now is the Jonin meeting, everyone should focus on the meeting."

Only then did many jounin look away, and when they looked at Jiraiya's pale and twisted face, their admiration became even stronger.

As worthy of being one of the Sannin, Jiraiya-sama insists on not disturbing the meeting even if he is injured.
