"You are really so proud that you are reluctant to go back even though I asked two Anbu to invite you."

In the casino, Jiraiya sighed helplessly at Tsunade, who looked young.

"If you invite me back to the village to drink, I will not hesitate, but if you want to throw a difficult matter to me, then no way."

Tsunade threw a card while saying this.

Soon, the helpless voice of Shizune, who was holding a little pink pig, also sounded.

"Tsunade-sama...we lost all the money we brought this time!"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya next to her with lingering feelings.

"Do you have any money on you? Lend me some."

Looking at Tsunade's impoliteness and her unwillingness to return the favor, Jiraiya smiled helplessly.

"I really have no money now..."

Tsunade curled her lips and looked at Jiraiya with contempt.

"How can a great writer like you be without money? Jiraiya, you have changed."

Jiraiya sighed.

"After I took over the village, I found that the financial expenditures in many places did not match the account books. I don't know how the teacher handled it. I can't use all my royalties to make up for it."

Listening to Jiraiya's complaints, Tsunade's eyes flickered for a moment, then she snorted and stood up and stopped talking.

"So you want to throw the mess to me?"

"Hasn't being a Hokage your dream all along? Why did you refuse after it came true?"

Although Tsunade knew what Jiraiya was thinking, she couldn't help but want to mock Jiraiya.

"Alas... You know, people always grow up in immaturity and finally succumb to reality. I'm not the material to be a Hokage... I just feel exhausted during this period. I really feel that I have limited ability to deal with things in the village."

"Tsunade, come back? At the beginning, you were the most thoughtful of the three of us, and you were also the granddaughter of the first generation. No one would object to you becoming a Hokage. I also talked to the teacher, and he agreed!"

Jiraiya said more and more excitedly.

Tsunade's brows slowly furrowed, and an impatient look appeared on her face.

"You agreed? Then have you asked me? Jiraiya, don't say anything about me being the Hokage anymore. The teacher is still alive, and you are also his hand-picked successor. Someone like me is not suitable to be the Hokage!"

"What's more? Don't you know why I don't want to go back to the village? Is there any trace of my grandfather in the current village? The village has long become a stranger in my heart!"

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya seriously.

Jiraiya's expression dimmed.

Yes... The teacher is also here, and he was also hand-picked by several consultants. How can he ask Tsunade to go back and then avoid the problem himself...

Seeing that Tsunade was a little angry, Jiraiya stopped talking.

Tsunade saw that the carefree Jiraiya also showed confusion on his face, and Tsunade also felt heavy in her heart.

"What's going on now? Can you tell me the truth? Why do you need a Hokage so urgently?"

Tsunade ordered a drink at the bar.

"It may be a little shocking to say it, so be prepared..."

Jiraiya briefly summarized the situation of the parallel universe invasion word by word.

Tsunade had already drunk the fourth glass of wine handed to her by the bartender.

"Tsunade-sama...don't drink anymore!"

Shizune spoke worriedly beside her, and the pig in her hand also hummed and comforted.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, how can I, a medical ninja, get drunk here?"

Tsunade waved her hand indifferently.

She stared at Jiraiya with a blurred and complicated look.

"Jiraiya? The situation is so serious now, and you let me be the Hokage. When the village has problems, you can let the villagers blame me, right?"

Although Tsunade's voice was a little confused, her words were clearer.

Jiraiya's heart trembled when he heard this. It's not that he hadn't considered this issue, but...

Did the teacher think about this when he gave him the position of Hokage?

No... The third generation teacher dedicated everything to the village, it shouldn't be possible to think so complicated...

"I promise to go back with you..."

Tsunade said, pointing her finger at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was delighted.

"You say!"

"But! I won't be the Hokage. If the third generation appoints you, you will continue to be the Hokage. I will only be responsible for assisting you at critical moments. During this time, I will live in the village."

Shizune's eyes softened.

"Tsunade-sama still can't let go of the village created by the first generation..."

Jiraiya also looked at Tsunade, whose face was already red and unable to open her eyes, with a doting look.

"Okay... II promise you everything."

Tsunade nodded, then fell asleep on the table unconscious.

Shizune and Jiraiya looked at each other, and both of them laughed helplessly.

"Because you, Jiraiya, are by Tsunade's side, she let her guard down. She has never been drunk before. "

Jiraiya's heart was beating, but he quickly suppressed the emotion in his heart.

The world is not at peace yet, how can children be affectionate?

......

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

After bringing Tsunade back to the village, Jiraiya hurried back to the Hokage Building.

The latest batch of funds applied to the daimyo has arrived!

"The war is imminent. In addition to the preparation of various standard weapons needed by the ninjas on the front line, such as kunai, detonating tags, shurikens, and military pills, these things need to be purchased in a large wave. In addition, our logistics medical ninjas also need to purchase a large part of hemostatic bandages, anti-inflammatory drugs and various temporary tents, folding beds, etc. that are needed in various war situations..."

Jiraiya listed the places where this batch of money would be spent one by one.

Besides Mito Kado En, there were several captains of the Anbu who knew about it.

Jiraiya flipped through the files on the table, and then slowly said: "No There hasn't been any large-scale war in Konoha for many years. The medical supplies and standard weapons consumed in missions are usually small-scale. We may be able to use this money for pre-war mobilization..."

Mitomon En lowered his head, struggling, but soon he became ruthless.

"Jiraiya... the situation is a bit complicated, let me tell you..."

Mitomon En's words were obviously lacking in confidence. He could still be righteous when facing Koharu Utatane, Danzo and the Sandaime.

In addition to being members who once followed the Second Generation, they were also a community of interests on the same boat.

But at this moment, facing Jiraiya, an "outsider", he felt a little numb when he told the truth.

But he was left in Konoha. If Jiraiya's ignorance caused an accident in the deployment, it would be even more unworthy if he lost his life.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mitomon En told Jiraiya part of the "truth" in the village.
