Naruto's Six Paths

"Kid, you are really Tsunade's disciple." Seeing Tsunade approaching, Jiraiya still didn't believe it and continued to ask.

"Of course it's true." After speaking, Mihara Katsuki bowed slightly to Tsunade and said, "Teacher, I'm back."

Tsunade looked Mihara Guiyue up and down and smiled, "I have grown a lot taller in half a year, my body is stronger, and my chakra volume is getting larger. It seems that I am not lazy."

"I'm sorry for making the teacher worried."

"It's okay, it's okay. That guy Orochimaru explained it to me clearly, saying that you were learning magic in Ryūchi Cave."

The two masters and apprentices were chatting happily, but Jiraiya beside him became depressed. He coughed dryly, but no one answered him. He coughed again but was still ignored. In desperation, Jiraiya had to use his secret technique to cough continuously. technique.

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Jiraiya, if your throat feels uncomfortable, drink more hot water. Why are you coughing?"

"I was just going to ask you where you can find hot water."

"Okay, okay, don't be weird. You have been staying in the Country of Rain these past few years."

"Well, I taught those three children some ways to survive in the ninja world."

"I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me, you stayed here for the three children. By the way, Jiraiya, did you go to the old man's place when you returned to the village?"

"No, I met your disciple as soon as I entered the village. I ate ramen with him and then came to your place."

"Jiraiya, I'm warning you, don't take Guiyue to those messy places. I don't want you to lead him astray."

"Tsunade-sama, don't talk about others, you are not qualified to say such things." Shizune came up and complained.

"Shizune, teacher, what's wrong with her?" Mihara Guiyue asked curiously.

"Tsunade-sama is really outrageous. She actually misappropriated public funds to gamble yesterday."

Tsunade blushed when she heard this, "Ahem, Shizune, what are you talking about?"

Jiraiya on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw Tsunade's embarrassed look, "Haha Tsunade, you are still the same."

After that, Jiraiya treated him to a treat, and Tsunade brought Mihara Guiyue and Shizune to the tavern. The two drank together and became drunk after a while.

"Tsunade, I forgot to ask you just now, who is this little girl?"

"She is Shizune, Duan's niece, my first disciple."

"Are you Suan's niece, Tsunade?" Jiraiya wanted to ask something, but he hesitated.

Tsunade knew what Jiraiya wanted to ask, so she didn't take the initiative to answer, but touched Shizune's head next to her.

Jiraiya understood, Mihara Guiyue also understood, it is not so easy for a person to repair the trauma of his soul.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Tsunade changed the topic and said, "By the way, Guiyue, did you know that three of Shizune's Ninja School students have applied to graduate?"

"The three of them are only 3 or 6 years old, who else besides Kakashi?" Mihara Katsuki asked with interest.

"One is the old man's son, Sarutobi Asuma, and the other is your senior sister Shizune."

"Isn't it true that Shizune is so awesome? I was already over 9 and almost 10 years old when I graduated."

"Don't you guys think that I don't know that I noticed it when I was teaching you your strange power. You have extraordinary talent in ninjutsu. If you wanted to graduate, you would have been able to graduate." Tsunade said angrily.

"Hey, sensei, you have wronged me. I am just a little talented in ninjutsu. My performance in genjutsu and ninja throwing is not as good as that of the Uchiha clan, and my culture class is not as good as that of the Hyuga clan. I want to apply for early graduation, and I guess I will." Being laughed at by classmates.”

"I heard that you are the best civilian ninja of your generation."

"Common people have relatively poor foundations, and there are not many outstanding ones. With a little talent, they can get this title."

Tsunade pouted and didn't answer.

After drinking and eating, Tsunade and Shizune returned to the Senju clan's clan. Mihara Guiyue returned to her home with a tired look on her face. Jiraiya was called away by the ANBU as soon as he left the tavern.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage looked at the drunken Jiraiya and had a headache. "Jiraiya, why are you drinking as soon as you come back to the village and taking Tsunade with you?"

"What does it matter? I haven't seen Steeler for a long time. We just had a drink together."

"Now Tsunade is in charge of Konoha Hospital, work requires concentration. How can you ask her to concentrate if you take her drinking?"

"Old man, why are you so free now? You have to take care of such small things."

Jiraiya's attitude made the Third Hokage more and more helpless. He sighed and said, "It's not that I'm idle, it's that the village is facing internal and external troubles, and I can't do anything about it."

"What will happen if I'm not around due to internal and external troubles?"

Then the Third Hokage told Jiraiya about Hatake Sakumo. After hearing this, Jiraiya's expression became serious, "Old man, do you want me to persuade Sakumo?"

"No, let's leave it to Sakumo for now. I came to you to ask you about Ryūchi Cave.

Haven't you already been in contact with Mihara Keiyue before? You should also know that Mihara Keiyue has practiced in Ryūchi Cave for half a year. As a holy place coexisting with Miaomu Mountain and Shigu Forest, what do you think of Ryūchi Cave?"

"Old man, to be honest, I don't know much about the situation at Longdi Cave. I just heard a few words from the toads in Miaomu Mountain, and most of them were about the past grievances between Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave.

However, being able to confront Miaomushan for such a long time is enough to show that the strength of Ryūchidong should be on the same level as Miaomushan. "

"That means Ryūchi Cave also has a sage mode," the Third Hokage asked.

"Tsunade also said before that Mihara Guiyue stayed in Ryūchi Cave to practice immortal arts."

"Then do you think he has succeeded in practicing?"

"I didn't sense any natural energy in him, so I probably didn't succeed."

"Oh, that would be a pity. If Mihara Keiyue learns the sage mode, her short-term combat effectiveness should be comparable to that of ordinary jounin and elite jounin. Coupled with Mihara Keiyue's excellent medical ninjutsu, if a war breaks out next time, Mihara Keiyue He can take Tsunade's place, but it's a pity that he hasn't learned it yet."

"Old man, what do you mean when a war breaks out?"

"This is the latest information received. You will know just by looking at it." The Third Hokage said as he took out a bloody scroll from the drawer and handed it to Jiraiya.
