The time came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the place was still on the rooftop of Sakura's rental house. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were gathering in front of the barbecue grill, eating their mouths full of oil. Kakashi, who was supposed to be in charge of the barbecue, said that he had cooked the meat. The trio didn't like to eat, and used this as a reason to encourage Yingluo to bake it.

But Sakura Luo, who hadn't eaten much for the day, just wanted to have a good meal, so she glanced at Ai Ye and Jiu Lama, who were staring at Jiraiya with vicious eyes, and spoke decisively. The job of grilling meat was left to one man and one beast.

Faced with the oppression of the Great Demon King of Sakuraluo, Ai Ye and Jiu Lama had no choice but to surrender. With mournful expressions on their faces, each of them carried a plate and ran to the barbecue grill, while grilling meat for the trio. Try to kill Jiraiya who is drinking with Sakura with his eyes.

"I really miss it!"

Jiraiya, who was sitting in front of Sakura, burped from his wine. While shaking his wine glass, he said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I last drank like this."

"Looking at you, you probably drink a lot of wine."

Ying Luo raised the draft beer glass she had on hand and drank it in one gulp. While pouring new wine into it, she asked, "Or what, are you remembering your childhood?"

"Ah ha, not really childhood."

Jiraiya grinned, raised his head and poured the sake in the cup into his mouth, then looked at the three people who were eating barbecue happily, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "In our time, there was no such thing as everyone An opportunity to get together, eat, drink and have fun.”

"The Second Ninja War..."

Sakura followed Jiraiya's line of sight and glanced at the trio. She waved to Nine Lama and Ai Ye, who were still crying, and motioned for them to come over. Then she said to Jiraiya with a smile: "You three Didn’t the title of Ren come into being during that period?”

"Actually, you are the only ones who think Sannin is a compliment..."

Listening to Sakura's question, Jiraiya suddenly had a bitter look on his face. He poured a glass of sake, drank it down, and said helplessly to Sakura: "I lost the battle and was given a title by the enemy. Say something. To be honest, I don’t know why it’s spread so widely.”

"But I see you're quite smug."

Ying Luo, who was a little surprised when she heard this, put the wine glass raised to her lips back, glanced at Ai Ye and Jiu Lama standing behind her, and asked Jiraiya: "Can you tell me more specifically?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya was silent for a moment, then sighed, shook his head slightly and said, "It's a long story..."

"Then make a long story short."

Ai Ye couldn't bear it any longer. She got ahead of Sakura and said to Jiraiya: "Anyway, we have plenty of time tonight. There's no point in just drinking here. Can you tell me your story?"

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

After Yingluo raised her hand to signal Jiraiya to stop talking, she knocked on the table and turned her head to look at Ai Ye and Jiu Lama expressionlessly.

"Ying...Sister Yingluo..."

Seeing that Yingluo's attitude was still so cold, Ai Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, "Lama Nine and I know we were wrong, so please forgive us."

After saying that, he also took a photo of Jiu Lama who was standing aside in a daze. In the past half a month, Jiu Lama and Ai Ye have developed a tacit understanding. We don’t know why. Maybe it’s because they are both naughty kids. So there is a connection?

In short, Nine Lama, who was patted by Ai Ye, immediately understood and quickly adjusted his facial expression. After showing a fairly standard confessional face, he said to Yingluo in a deep voice: "I know I was wrong, and I promise not to do it again in the future. I have the same experience as Ai Ye, so..."

"You two are fighting at home, and I don't care..."

After Yingluo interrupted Jiu Lama's words forcefully, she looked at the man and the beast who lowered their heads slightly and said, "But outside, you have to pay attention to my image. Fortunately, everyone present today is acquaintances. If not What about acquaintances? What kind of impression will your behavior leave on others?"

'Why did Yingluo start preaching again...'

Ninth Lama, who lowered her head and glanced at Yingluo who kept talking non-stop, felt that her brain hurt a little. She had been lectured by Yingluo almost every day for the past half month, although she also understood that Yingluo was doing it for her own good. ,but……

Who can bear to be preached to every day?

This means that Jiu Lama can't defeat Sakura. If Sakura had been replaced by Jiraiya, she would have exploded.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yingluo."

Just when Jiu Lama felt that his head was about to explode, Ai Ye, who had his head lowered, took the initiative to step forward, took Yingluo's arm, shook it, and said coquettishly: "We know we were wrong, and we promise not to do this again in the future. , is it good~~~"

"I admit my mistakes faster than anyone else, and I don't see you correcting them."

Yingluo, who let Ai Ye shake her arm, glanced at Jiu Lama who was peeping at her, sighed helplessly, pulled her arm back from Ai Ye's hand, and said, "This time Forget it, you won’t be allowed to do this again, do you understand?”

"Understood!"

Seeing Yingluo relax, Ai Ye and Jiu Lama's eyes flashed with a twinkle at the same time. Then they glanced at the barbecue grill with some excitement, drooling, and asked: "Then can we..."

"Go and eat, go and eat..."

Seeing the hungry looks of the two of them, Yingluo waved helplessly, and the one person and one beast who got the permission cheered and ran towards the barbecue grill.

"How did you make the Nine Lamas so obedient?"

After Jiraiya glanced at the Nine Lamas who were fighting for meat skewers with Ai Ye, he asked Sakura with some curiosity: "As far as I know, tailed beasts hate humans."

Hearing this, Sakura smiled slightly and did not immediately respond to Jiraiya's question. Instead, after taking a sip of beer, she asked, "Then why do tailed beasts hate humans?"

"I have thought about this question."

Jiraiya sighed, he understood what Sakura wanted to say, "But how to put it... for the sake of peace, it's just a last resort."

"I am not qualified to comment on your behavior."

Hearing this, Yingluo raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiraiya, "But you have to judge for yourself whether this matter is right or wrong."

Talking to smart people takes a lot of brainpower, but it also has advantages. Just like now, there are some things that no one needs to clarify, and both parties know what the other is talking about.

What Sakura Luo said was not wrong. Jiraiya had considered this issue, but he still said it before, for the sake of peace, he had no choice but to do so.

"...There is no absolute right or wrong in this world."

Jiraiya was silent for a moment. After taking a sip of sake, he took a long breath, looked up at Sakura and said, "But depending on the current situation, we have to make some choices, right?"

"Different perspectives lead to different ways of looking at problems."

After Sakura glanced at the Nine Lamas who were holding a wine glass and talking and laughing with Ai Ye, she smiled and said to Jiraiya: "Do you think it is better for tailed beasts to contact humans in this way, or in the same way as before? What’s the best way to get in touch?”

Hearing this, Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said: "This cannot be used as a comparison. The situation was the same back then..."

"It's not too late to make up for it."

Sakura interrupted Jiraiya and said a familiar idiom. She smiled and said to the thoughtful Jiraiya: "Everyone understands the truth, but how to do it depends on everyone." thought of."

"As the Yondaime Hokage's master, you should understand what I'm talking about."

"Of course I understand..."

Jiraiya raised his head and looked at Sakura. He looked at Sakura's clear water-like eyes and sighed: "But some things cannot be accomplished overnight. I also want to change the ninja world. After all, this It’s been my lifelong dream.”

Speaking of this, Jiraiya suddenly moved his eyes to Naruto. He looked at Naruto who was laughing and playing with everyone, and said with some relief: "But I know that I can't do it on my own, so I accept it." I took Minato as my disciple, and I want him to continue to complete my unfinished business after my death."

"But the Yondaime died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion..."

After Sakura drank the beer in one gulp, she followed Jiraiya's gaze and said, "So the reason why you accepted Naruto as your disciple is not just because of the Nine Lamas?"

"And because he is Minato's son."

Jiraiya took a long breath, looked at Sakura again and said, "I want to see if he has inherited Minato's will."

Hearing this, Yingluo smiled slightly, "What's the result?"

"I am very satisfied……"

Jiraiya showed a satisfied smile. He filled up the wine glass and while shaking it, he said: "Like father, like son. This saying makes sense."

Looking at Jiraiya who looked relieved, Sakura nodded slightly. She now has a new view of Jiraiya. Unlike the Hokage who tried his best to maintain the status quo, he is a person who is really looking forward. Although his Dreams may seem like nonsense to others. In fact, Sakura thinks the same way. True peace has never truly existed in any world.

Just like the utopia proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, peace is also a similar thing, but compared to the invisible and intangible things like utopia, the word peace actually exists.

But it can only exist for a short period of time. History is cyclical. This is the conclusion that Sakura came to after witnessing the destruction and rebirth of countless civilizations.

But even if it is doomed to destruction, it still has a reason for its existence.

Hope, this is an ethereal word.

What Jiraiya pursues is this ethereal word. Real peace cannot exist. Jiraiya also knows this, but he still regards this as his lifelong ideal and uses it as his will to pass on. Go down.

This is a great cause and something that no one is allowed to blaspheme.

In these five thousand years, Sakura has performed various tasks in various universes and met all kinds of people, but she has a great love like Jiraiya. I have only seen a few dozen people.

And this kind of person deserves her respect.

So she solemnly said to Jiraiya: "You can bear the word teacher."

Jiraiya looked at Sakura Luo who suddenly became serious and was a little confused, but after seeing Sakura Luo's eyes that revealed the word "respect", he seemed to understand what Sakura Luo meant, so he smiled slightly and raised his hand The wine glass said: "Here's to you."

Seeing this, Yingluo also raised her wine glass. After touching it with Jiraiya, she said with a smile: "Here's to you."
