"Oh, I never thought you wanted to invite me back!"

Looking at Tsunade across the table, tapping the edge of the plate with her chopsticks and staring at him intently, Jiraiya felt a little scared, but still nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's right, the village thinks you are quite suitable to be our Fifth Hokage. If you have nothing else, let's go quickly. The village is in a mess right now, and this is a good opportunity for you to show your skills."

Tsunade almost spit out the food in her mouth after hearing this. She shook her head and said, "Look at how smug you are. You really are so thick-skinned that you are invulnerable to swords and guns!"

Jiraiya touched his nose and said with a grin, "Haha, to be honest, I think you must have heard about the current situation in the village. Well, it is indeed a bit tricky."

Tsunade's eyes widened: "Are you sure it's just 'a little' tricky?"

Jiraiya scratched his head and said, "Well, I admit that it is a little more serious than I thought. However, with you in charge, these problems can be easily solved. Besides, this time you don't have to bother those people you have always hated."

Tsunade sneered: "Even if Danzo falls, that guy is not someone to be trifled with. He is now the biggest time bomb in the village, and he can still cause big trouble."

Jiraiya took a sip of wine, not daring to look Tsunade in the eye, and pretended to be calm and said: "You are right, that old fox Danzo is not an easy person to deal with. He dared to attack the Hokage this time, who knows if he will cause such trouble again in the future."

Tsunade frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiraiya continued, "In fact, the top brass was also afraid of Danzo's Sharingan, so they asked him to hand it over... In the end, Danzo did hand it over obediently, but it was only a three-magatama Sharingan, not his real Mangekyō Sharingan at all."

When Tsunade heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is his real Sharingan?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "I don't know about that, but I guess it's still with him."

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then looked up at Jiraiya: "It seems that the village really needs your help. Now only you can suppress Danzo."

Jiraiya sighed, "I understand that, but Danzo's power and influence are too great. It's not easy to completely eliminate him."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a determined light in her eyes: "It's okay, I will do my best to solve these problems."

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly saw a figure eavesdropping at the door, and he immediately stood up and walked over.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

The man turned around and saw that it was Naruto.

"I...I'm just passing by."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "Don't try to eavesdrop on our conversation, go home!"

Naruto lowered his head and muttered softly, "I just wanted to see what you were talking about. After all, I want to be the Hokage's man too."

Jiraiya smiled and patted his shoulder: "Okay, go home first, I'll come find you after I finish dealing with things here."

Naruto nodded and turned and ran away.

Tsunade looked at Naruto's departing back and said thoughtfully: "It seems that there are still many things in the village that we need to solve."

Jiraiya nodded: "That's right, but as long as we work together, I believe everything will get better."

"Wow, you know all the trouble in the village, right? It's so annoying! But God, I have to tell you, the problem now is not with little Naruto, he has been trying to mediate the conflict. To be honest, Miss Tsunade, you have to go back to the Hokage's office to work as soon as possible. That Sarutobi teacher is still secretly canvassing for you, and the villagers are also very optimistic about you."

Jiraiya said seriously, the smile on his face disappearing and replaced by a serious expression.

After listening to this, Tsunade was not frightened by Jiraiya's serious attitude. Instead, she asked calmly: "Are you sure I can do it? I haven't been back to the village for a long time, and I don't have much friendship with the new generation of ninjas. They may not even recognize me..."

"Oh, don't worry, you are very popular among the jonin. Besides, over the years, Sarutobi Sensei has been silently promoting you behind the scenes, and the villagers also trust you very much." Jiraiya replied.

After listening to this, Tsunade frowned and said, "But, that guy also came to see me yesterday. It seems that everyone thinks I'm quite popular!"

When Jiraiya heard this, he instantly became nervous, his eyebrows knitted together, and he said, "What does he want you to do?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and said helplessly, "He asked me to help."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head, widened his eyes, and said, "Did you promise him?"

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I'm still hesitating."

Jiraiya's heart sank when he heard this, and he wondered if Tsunade was planning on betraying the village.

At this moment, Tsunade spoke, her tone revealing a sense of deep thought, and said: "In fact, I have been studying this issue in depth for some time. I found that the shadow of war is getting stronger and stronger. He regards himself as a samurai, skillfully using the power in his hands to wantonly stir up the situation in the ninja world. I think that perhaps in the near future, the Fourth Ninja World War will break out because of him."

Jiraiya was shocked to hear this. He knew that Tsunade's judgment was usually accurate. So he advised: "You have to remember that he is no longer the same person he used to be. He betrayed the village, abandoned his companions, and has been causing trouble all over the world for many years. Maybe one day, he will invade us and trigger the Fourth Ninja World War."

Tsunade retorted, "Well, I think his living conditions are pretty good, not as miserable as those boasters say!"

"However, he doesn't really want to help other citizens or the entire ninja world. On the contrary, he is more like a selfish samurai who only wants to expand his power. His actions will bring endless pain and casualties to others. To be honest, he is even more difficult to understand than Danzo." Jiraiya said earnestly.

At this moment, Tsunade suddenly spoke up and said, "Huh, it turns out that guy is the real bastard. He is a bad guy who messes up the world. In fact, I have seen through his true face a long time ago. However, the more I investigate, the closer I feel the war is getting. It's great that you are back this time. With you here, let the two of us take care of the affairs of the village!"
