Chapter 263
While talking, the deck of playing cards dealt Jiraiya, and after dealing, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the cards in his hand.
Jiraiya also picked up the cards in front of him, looked down and continued, "I'll say it again, it was the old man's decision to announce that you will succeed the fifth generation Hokage.
For this reason, he has even disbanded the root. Will you accept it now?"
Hearing this, Tsunade's expression was no longer as calm as before. After all, you have to know the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.
Even Danzo's sending people to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen was not judged as a traitor by him, which is enough to explain everything.
Unexpectedly, now a thunderbolt strikes, stripping Danzo from the center of power and clearing all obstacles for her succession.
Is this still the old man she knows?
But even so, Tsunade still remained silent and did not speak.
But little did she know that the main reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen did all this was actually for the safety of Uzumaki Naruto!
Jiraiya saw this and did not urge him.
After a brief stalemate.
The silent Tsunade finally made her choice with a serious expression, "Sorry, I refuse."
She no longer had the passion she once had. The departure of her lover and brother, as well as the darkness in the village, made it difficult for her to accept.
She could only rely on gambling to numb her heart. At this point, she had already given up.
Even though he was rejected, Jiraiya still joked calmly.
"This sentence sounds really familiar. I thought I gave you the same answer when I confessed to you."
However, Naruto, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said at this time, "I'm sorry to interrupt your communication, but let me say one more thing.
Tsunade-sama, although I don't know why you refused to become Hokage, you must have your reasons for being recommended by the third generation grandfather.
So even if you refuse, I will not give up persuading you!"
This speech made Tsunade a little stunned.
Looking at the sunny boy not far away, it seemed as if he saw those familiar figures on him.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing.
"Jiraiya, this kid is similar to your former apprentice, not only in character but also in appearance. I just don't know how his talent compares to that guy."
Speaking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help laughing.
"Compared with the fourth generation Hokage, anyone seems not good enough."
But the topic changed, and his expression suddenly continued solemnly, "But Naruto is different. Among the geniuses I have seen, no one can be compared with him!"
Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes flashed with shock, and she couldn't help but look at the boy in front of her a few more times, and her heart inevitably became more curious.
How strong is the talent of this little brat to be praised by Jiraiya like this.
"I am really curious about this little brat who can be said to by you. Why don't you go out and let me see it?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya also became interested.
"Then let Naruto try."
In a flash.
Everyone had already arrived outside the store. It was already late.
Night fell.
With the help of the light, the two stood facing each other.
Tsunade raised the corner of her mouth, shook her neck slightly and said with a smile, "I will fight you with one finger. If you can touch me, I will give you the pendant on my chest. How about it?"
Looking at the pendant, Naruto only felt that it was really big, but immediately came to his senses and replied with a firm look.
"Then it's a deal!"
As Naruto waved his hand, several three-pronged kunai rushed out.
The next moment.
A golden flash suddenly appeared in the sight.
This scene made Tsunade stunned in place, and said in shock, "Flying Thunder God? At this age, he has learned and can use it skillfully?!"
At this moment, she really realized how terrible Naruto's talent is!
It was not until Naruto patted her shoulder that she came back to her senses from the shock. She looked at the boy in front of her and took off the pendant on her chest with a smile.
She pretended to smile helplessly, "Before I give you the pendant, I want to ask you another question."
Hearing this, Naruto took back his kunai and looked at him calmly.
"Of course."
After getting the reply, Tsunade asked directly.
"What is your dream?"
Speaking of dreams, Naruto immediately gave the other party a firm answer without any hesitation, "My dream is to become a Hokage and end this chaotic world with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Tsunade seemed to see the shadows of her brother and lover in him. They all had the same dream.
Her long-dead heart also began to beat again at this time.
Take off the pendant, and put it on Naruto's neck.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "To be honest, you really touched me, but I am suffering from hemophobia now and can't serve as Hokage at all."
Hearing this, Naruto replied with a serious expression.
"I believe you can overcome hemophobia!"
Looking at the determined boy in front of her, Tsunade couldn't say the words she wanted to refuse.
Jiraiya, who had been watching for a long time, saw that the time was ripe, and immediately said, "Hemophobia is not easy to solve. It seems that I will be busy again."
Facing the two of them, Tsunade smiled bitterly.
Behind her, Shizune, who was holding a pig and had no presence, was also happy for Tsunade. She could finally say goodbye to the days of being asked for debts.
...
At the same time.
Sasuke, who was still in Konoha, was increasingly dissatisfied. Staying in Konoha, Kakashi could no longer make him stronger quickly!
The gap between him and Naruto was getting bigger and bigger. If he continued like this, could he still defeat that man?
This sense of urgency also made him shift his sight to the Ajuromaru in his body, and he immediately asked tentatively.
"Ajuromaru, do you have a way to make me stronger quickly?"
At this moment, Sasuke felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his consciousness was instantly pulled into the spiritual world.
Once again stepping on the junction of the sky and the sea.
I saw that Orochimaru, who was bound in place not far away, was constantly asking various questions tentatively, "Is it really impossible for my hands to recover?"
At this moment, the hands that were suppressed by Orochimaru had also disappeared.
Bored Ajuromaru wore glasses, looked at the book in his hand, and replied calmly, "The soul of your hands has been taken away by the god of death.
There is no way to restore your hands except to take them back from the hands of the god of death."
Hearing this, Orochimaru tried cautiously.
"Even you can't do it?"
This continuous temptation also made Ajuromaru retort unhappily.
"Of course I can restore your hands, but why should I help you? Don't forget, if Sasuke hadn't wanted to use the curse seal, I would have wiped you out by now."
