Naruto is in my heart

"Jiraiya, are you leaving again?"

Tsunade was processing the file that Shizune had just handed to her. At this time, Jiraiya came to the Hokage's office and explained his purpose.

"And this time I want to take Naruto out with me."

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya's still ungrateful appearance for a while.

"Naruto is in the village, which must be putting a lot of pressure on you. He has been clamoring to find Uchiha Sasuke all day long. It must be a headache to assign missions. And with the information now obtained, Akatsuki has already begun to take action. I I think it is most appropriate to leave Naruto to me and teach him while he travels and practices."

Jiraiya said confidently.After hearing these words, it reminded Tsunade of Naruto who had just learned the Rasengan a few months ago.

"I don't object to you taking him out, but some old stubborns in the elders group may not let you go. After all, Naruto is the Jinchūriki of the village. If so"

Tsunade still considered the current situation in all aspects. If she wanted to convince those hawkish Konoha senior officials, it would probably take some effort.

"If you are really in trouble, I will personally explain it to the two consultants. After all, I have made a lot of preparations in the past two months in order to determine the route of the trip."

"When did you start doing planned things? Where did Jiraiya go who did things without thinking before?" Tsunade teased.

"Well, after all, I'm old enough to be a grandfather. To be cautious, naturally I can't be the same as when I was traveling alone."

"You", for some reason, after hearing what Jiraiya said, Tsunade became angry for no reason, and veins began to pop out from the corners of her eyebrows.

"Um"

"Jiraiya, are you saying in disguise that I am old and do not know how to be prudent in my work?"

"Well, how can it be that your face has not changed in more than 50 years except for certain places?"

Jiraiya smiled and glanced lustfully at Tsunade's breasts with his peripheral vision.

"Bang" Tsunade took out the hidden empty wine bottle from under the table and threw it directly in Jiraiya's face.

"Tsunade-sama, have you finished processing the documents just now? People from the Intelligence Department are here to rush you."

After Shizune hurriedly opened the door of the office, she saw Tsunade who had just turned off the engine and Jiraiya who was squatting on the ground with his face covered. For a moment, he forgot what he said next.

"Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama this is"

"Ah, it's nothing. This guy just has a toothache. Come and see me." Tsunade dodges her eyes. After all, it's hard to make up the reason for beating Jiraiya. If Shizune notices the wine bottle that fell behind the door, , another burst of nagging

"I see. If Jiraiya-sama is feeling ill, you should go to the hospital for a check-up."

"It's okay~ It's okay, no need to bother." Jiraiya covered his face and retreated to the window.

"Okay, by the way, Tsunade-sama, in addition to the documents that need to be signed as soon as possible, there is another piece of news that has just reached me."

Shizune folder another copy of the collected documents and placed them next to Tsunade.

"what news"

"Tamayama Akira, who had been in a coma for two days, has woken up. The death of Keita Jounin has hit him hard, so he is still a little depressed, but he can already communicate normally with his family and friends."

Shizune had some difficulty explaining what she was going to say next.

"It's a relapse of internal disease in the body"

"That's not to say that after he woke up, he was asked how he killed the three Kirigakure rebels, but he had no memory of this. The only thing he could recall was the moment he heard the news outside the Hokage's office. moment"

Shizune also asked the ninjas from the Intelligence Department to help find out the missing memory, but there was still no result.

"Sou Ga doesn't consider invading the memory area of ​​the brain, but can't he just use a collaborative method to help restore memory?" Jiraiya seemed to have some clues.

"It seems to be based on subconscious self-protection. That memory was probably buried along with some painful memories. I don't think there is any use in assisting recovery."

Tsunade could only say helplessly.

After all, Yushan Ming is different from the prisoner. He is a ninja in the village. It is impossible to use the torture department's method of forcibly searching memories to obtain information about that part of the memory. In this case, one can only wait for the person's condition to improve and see what happens after recovery. Can you remember?

"But this little guy is extraordinary. Although the opponent is not one of the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he is still a jounin who can use this kind of ninja tool. At this age, he can kill three jounin by himself. Quite an outstanding young man.”

According to Jiraiya's memory, the young people who can do this kind of thing include Hatake White Fang, the Fourth Hokage, and Gaara from Suna Ninja Village.

"Of course, after all, I am the candidate designated by the third generation to be the future captain of the Hokage Guards. Otherwise, how could I have tried my best and risked the exposure of my aging appearance to undergo an operation with a success rate of less than [-]%?"

"That's it, but he still needs to be tempered in terms of his character. Although, I also have a troublesome student here." When it comes to Naruto's learning thinking and methods, Jiraiya feels for the first time, "I'm so easy to teach. That makes sense, why didn’t my son inherit this?”

Jiraiya suddenly thought of something and walked out of the window.

"Anyway, I'm going to take Naruto away tomorrow, so I'll just go and tease Tamayama Akira's kid a little more."

"Tsunade-sama, what did you and Jiraiya-sama say? Naruto is leaving tomorrow."

Shizune seemed to be listening to the two of them playing riddles.

"Only when you lose it will you know what you should do. It will never be too late."

After Tamayama woke up, although he had a vague impression of everything that happened to him, his memory of the specific process was hazy. Even when Kakashi-sensei later explained to him what happened in the cemetery, he He had no memory at all. He only knew that he felt bound by an obsession. After struggling for a long time, he finally let it go. When he woke up, he was lying in the ward of Konoha Hospital.

Fortunately, Ming's health was fine this time. Apart from being a little overloaded, he was not in the same dangerous situation as last time.Therefore, except for Yushan Ming's mother who delivers meals on time, his father and Xiaoxue are busy with their own affairs.

"I asked you, why did you end up like this again? If I hadn't known what you were like, I would have thought that what I saw that day was an evil ghost crawling out of hell."

Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the window, looking at Akira, who was now half-lying on the bed, completely exhausted.

"How could I not know if he is so powerful? Hahaha. If I really come back from hell, I will die on the battlefield before you do. You have to take good care of me when you return to the village."

Ming's right hand was wrapped in a bandage, and he could only scratch his cheek embarrassedly with his left hand.

"Speaking of which, I admire your ability to act. Although you left the village without the permission of the village, it is not Sasuke's kind of defection. In order to avoid some trouble, your matter has been suppressed by the higher ups. It is said that Dad and Uncle Qiuyan have put in a lot of effort."

Shikamaru saw that Ming was feeling a little down, so he poured a glass of water for him and placed it within reach of his left hand.

"Thank you. I never thought that I would let my father and the others worry about me. Forgive me for not thinking about this at the time."

Ming picked up the cup and took a deep sip of water, suddenly choking.

"Cough cough cough~"

Shikamaru's eyes were blank for a moment, then he suddenly stared into Akira's eyes and said.

"Among us, I am the only one who knows about this matter. It is attributed to Hokage-sama's order, so I did not tell Choji and Ino, but the news of Keita-sensei's younger brother's death is probably in the same mission team in the Jonin class. knew"

"Neji and the others know about it, right? I'm afraid the news about the Hinata family can't be hidden from him. You don't have to help me smooth things over. I will explain it to him myself in the future."

"That's good. After all, I've had enough troubles recently." Shikamaru yawned and walked out the door. "But there is one more thing you may be concerned about. Naruto is leaving the village tomorrow. That's The guy said it himself, what about your plan?"

"It's all up to you," Ming said reluctantly moving his right hand that was wrapped in a rice dumpling.

"Okay, you rest first, while I still have some free time at noon, I'll go to the old place to take some time off."

After the door closed, Shikamaru bowed and left the corridor.

"Have we reached this time? Maybe, I thought that the best way to deal with some things would be if they didn't change, but I didn't expect that fate is so unpredictable."

"Teacher Keita [-]"

Suddenly a bag of things hit Ming's head, and he straightened up and lay on the bed again.

"Bang", the window was suddenly opened, the breeze blowing in blew open the curtain, and a figure rolled in against the sunlight.

"The pastries are ready, let's see if they taste good."

"Keita, old Jiraiya-sama"

Ming almost mistakenly thought he was the person who had appeared like this before.

"Hm, don't you like it? I asked the owner of that store specifically, which one the guy who often owes money gets the most. If it's not suitable, I feel like I've wasted my efforts."

Jiraiya pretended to be troubled and overwhelmed.

"Jiraiya-sama came to visit me in person, and I'm already grateful. If your female fans knew that I was treated like this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be envious." Akira forced a smile.

"Okay, although the answer does not come from the heart, it is still polite. If you can consider other people's thinking and speaking, it seems that you don't have to worry too much about brain problems."

Jiraiya said to himself, not caring at all about trying to undermine the opponent in front of Yushan Ming, which made Ming speechless in embarrassment.

"Tell me, Tamayama Akira, what makes you live cautiously, always consider the feelings of others, and consider the growth of Naruto and the others?"

Jiraiya suddenly changed the topic and stared directly into Akira's eyes.

"This", after being asked with such a deep-seated aura, a lot of sweat oozed from Ming's forehead anxiously and frightenedly.

"Well, if I guess correctly, you are the child of destiny like me," Jiraiya said with certainty.

"After all, when I was as young as you, I knew that my future destiny had been predicted, and even the general direction of what I wanted to do had been determined. For me, who was as nervous as Naruto at the time, I knew that I would become I was already very excited when I was a ninja, and I had no idea what kind of responsibilities and missions I would undertake in the prophecy. Now that I think about it, if I had been smarter, like Orochimaru did at that time, I might have run away long ago."

Jiraiya sighed and looked at Tamayama Akira who looked confused and panicked. The young man finally showed his truest emotions in front of him, even if it was such an unsatisfactory expression.

"I think I have recognized five disciples and taught seven students. Only the fourth generation student is the most reassuring. The young man in front of me may have the qualifications to surpass the fourth generation, but his character is too mature and he does not have this The passion and bohemianism that the period should have. If you can't sharpen your character, I'm afraid you will stagnate in the future. But judging from the style of conduct, maybe follow the Hatake family's school."

"Master Ziraiya"

Just as Jiraiya was lost in thought, Akira Tamamayama had gotten off the bed and stood in front of Jiraiya.

"Um"

The next morning, Naruto put on his travel backpack and followed Jiraiya.

"Everyone, I, Naruto Uzumaki, have set out. Wait for me, Sasuke."

"Idiot, stop dawdling, you're already behind." Jiraiya stood far away and called Naruto over his shoulder.

"Come right away," Naruto straightened his ninja forehead protector and said with his fist to Yan Yan, the Fourth Hokage.

"Let's wait and see. When I come back, I will definitely become a ninja like the Fourth Hokage, and I will eventually become Hokage."
