Tsunade, you're really drunk!

The warm spring sun shone from above, lush green trees were on both sides of the brown dirt road, and a high dark brown wooden wall surrounded the entire Konoha Village.

The word "Konoha" was written in crimson paint on the dark green gate of Konoha.

The gray-white rock plaque above reads "Konoha Village".

The expressions of Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun show the troubled feelings they are feeling right now.

Because there are many rumors about the three people standing at the gate of Konoha at this moment in the Konoha ninja circle recently, they dare not act rashly.

One is Lord Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, the other is Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage who has only recently become known to everyone, and the last one is the current deputy head of the Uchiha clan whom they dare not offend.

Although the news that the Sandaime was forced to abdicate has not been announced to the public, considering that this matter concerns the reputation of Konoha Village, it must be handled with caution.

However, all the ninjas of the village, including the special jonin and above, knew the inside story of this matter. The source of all this could be traced back to the young, harmless-looking and warm-faced man in front of them - Uchiha Chiye.

Jiraiya and Naruto arrived late, and trotted to Qianye's side.

There was a hint of apology on his face, but he couldn't hide his joy.

"Haha, I took Naruto to the Konoha Hospital to get some medicine, which took some time. Qianye, let's go and find Tsunade quickly."

"The village is still waiting for Tsunade to return and take over as the Godaime Hokage."

Qianye looked at Naruto, who was still wrapped in bandages, and his expression became a little heavy, with his brows furrowed.

"Naruto, what is this..."

Jiraiya quickly pulled Qianye aside. It was obvious that he didn't want Naruto to know these words.

He put his arm around Qianye's shoulders, leaned down slightly, and spoke softly.

"Although Danzo tore a hole in Naruto's seal, I have solved the problem."

"I followed the key Minato gave me and perfected the seal again."

"But after checking Naruto's body, the jonin of the medical class told me that Danzo had used a lot of drugs on Naruto, which overdrew Naruto's vitality and almost destroyed all the veins in Naruto's body."

"Such a difficult problem can no longer be handled by the village's medical ninjas, so we brought Naruto with us this time because we wanted Tsunade to personally treat Naruto's hidden illness. This is related to whether he can continue to be a ninja in the future."

The previous joy was gone as he looked at Jiraiya's serious expression.

Qianye couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

He patted Jiraiya's shoulder.

"Don't worry, let's go find Tsunade this time, he will help us heal Naruto."

Having said this, Jiraiya's expression improved.

So the two of them walked back to Naruto.

Naruto looked around at the world outside the village.

This was the first time he had left the village since he grew up. At this moment, he even forgot the bandages wrapped around his body. His face was full of desire to explore the unknown world and the novelty of youth.

Everything he saw was imprinted in his mind.

Naruto ran to Jiraiya excitedly and grabbed Jiraiya's arm.

"Toad Immortal, Toad Immortal! This is the scene outside the village! Lots of trees, wide roads, haha!"

As he said this, he ran to the middle of the road, raised his body excitedly, and tried to see the end of the road.

Jiraiya walked over to Naruto and lifted him up on his back.

"That's right, the world outside the village is like this. Lie down behind me and don't move. I'll take you to a more fun place to soak in the hot springs!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Naruto was behind Jiraiya, raising his arms high and jumping for joy.

Seeing this, Qianye immediately followed behind Jiraiya, and the two of them, with Naruto, began their journey to find Princess Tsunade.

The sun rose and slowly set, and the sky gradually became gloomy.

Naruto, who was lying on Jiraiya's back, looked happy at first. He looked at the scenery passing by quickly and expressed his inner yearning to become a ninja in the future.

But the process of traveling was boring after all, and he gradually felt sleepy. He lay on Jiraiya's back and fell asleep unknowingly.

Until now, the night has seized the last afterglow of the sun, dyeing the entire sky into an inky canvas, dotted with bright stars.

Chiye and Jiraiya stopped in a cave, planning to spend the night there.

Jiraiya used Fire Release to light a bonfire, and Chiye took out the grilled meat and vegetables he had brought from the scroll.

After all, they were just out to look for Tsunade. Apart from the possibility of encountering some stray ninjas, they wouldn't encounter any other dangers. Naturally, they didn't need to be as cautious as in other missions.

What's more, they are carrying Naruto, a wounded man, so it is necessary to replenish his nutrition.

Qianye placed the iron net on the campfire. Naruto ran to Qianye excitedly, pointing at the iron net, with joy on his smiling face.

"Toad Immortal! I know this, this is the iron net in the barbecue restaurant! Are we going to have barbecue tonight? Great! Yeah!"

Jiraiya walked to Naruto, squatted down, and gently stroked Naruto's head with his broad palm. Naruto's golden hedgehog hair was ruffled by Jiraiya.

"That's right. After a day of traveling, Qianye and I are exhausted. We must eat something good to replenish our energy. We have to continue traveling tomorrow."

After hearing what Jiraiya said, Naruto stopped resisting Jiraiya's touch and lowered his head, trying to hide the disappointment on his face so that Jiraiya and Chiye would not see it.

"Brother Qianye and Immortal Toad have been carrying me all the way. Am I really useless..."

Inferiority and self-blame appeared on Naruto's face again.

Although Naruto is still young, the villagers' long-term disgust and rejection have made him stronger and more mature than other children, but at the same time made his mind more sensitive than his peers and more likely to feel pain.

Jiraiya's words also came to an abrupt halt at this moment. He had deliberately avoided some things, and even the reason for the barbecue was to restore the strength of himself and Qianye.

But I didn't expect Naruto to think of these things.

For a moment, the cave seemed a little quiet. The only sound could be heard was the burning campfire and the occasional crackling of wood.

Qianye slowly walked to Naruto's side, squatted down, and looked at Naruto at eye level, looking at Naruto with a guilty look on his face.

"Naruto, let me tell you a story."

"The protagonist of the story is just like you."

Hearing this, Naruto's attention was gradually attracted by Qianye, and he looked up at the older brother squatting in front of him.

"What's the story? Is the protagonist the same as me?"
