Traveling through three generations: Orochimaru, you become the Hokage

It was a rare reunion for the three ninjas, and of course they had to gather together for a meal.

After dark, we arrived at a food street not far from the Hokage Building.

There was laughter and laughter all the way, and with the fifth Hokage succeeding to the throne, the sad atmosphere caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion seemed to be washed away. In life, people must learn to leave behind the burdens of the past and embrace a more promising tomorrow.

"It's great. The village is alive again." Jiraiya looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

He returned to the village earlier than Tsunade and had seen the atmosphere in the village before.

After Orochimaru officially succeeded to the throne of Hokage, the atmosphere in the village was obviously much better.

Tsunade also looked at everything in front of her quietly and fell into some memories.

Suddenly, some children ran past them.

While running, these children were still shouting.

"I want to be Hokage!"

"No! I am the Hokage!"

"Boohoo! Look at my shuriken!"

"Look at my water escape! Water spraying technique!"

It was obvious that the children in the village were playing ninja games and competing to become Hokage.

Tsunade was in a trance when she saw this scene.

She thought of the rope tree and also thought of the break.

They all have dreams of becoming Hokage. Then in the process of chasing this dream, I was also cut off from this process of chasing the dream.

Tsunade's body trembled slightly for a moment, and she took a deep breath.

Jiraiya next to him wanted to raise his hand and put it on Tsunade's shoulder to comfort her, but soon, he paused and put it down.

"Tsunade, when you come back this time, you won't leave, right?" he asked.

Tsunade crossed her chest and let out a breath.

"I don't have much to do when I come back. I can only stay for a few days and then leave."

"Aren't you considering staying?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? After being fooled by Orochimaru for a few times, I just wanted to stay and help him." Tsunade glanced sideways at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru raised his lips and smiled.

"never mind."

She waved her hand.

"Let's have a meal. I want to eat tender chicken. Of course, it's best to have some wine."

"Then I'll drink with you! It just so happens that we haven't drank together for a long time. Orochimaru, why don't you come over?"

"I don't drink too much."

But it was also a sign of companionship. Of course Tsunade and Jiraiya knew that Orochimaru was a person who liked to keep a cool head.

Being willing to have a drink with them is for the sake of friendship.

"Then let's come together!" Jiraiya shouted, raising his hands high.

Just like in the past, he is the one who takes the initiative to liven up the atmosphere in the team.

Soon, they arrived at a store. Since Orochimaru liked eggs and didn't like cold food, he wanted to eat hot eggs, which was a pot of oden stew.

In order to take care of Orochimaru, he even ordered more eggs.

In addition, tender chickens and several bottles of wine were ordered.

"cheers!"

The three clinked glasses again.

Tsunade and Jiraiya drank it all in one gulp, while Orochimaru drank lightly.

As if feeling unhappy, Tsunade blew on the bottle.

"Tsunade, don't drink so fast, take your time and eat some food." Jiraiya advised with concern.

Of course, Tsunade didn't listen very much and almost drank the bottle in one go and put it down.

Her face was slightly red. As a medical ninja, she seemed to be deliberately letting the effects of alcohol take effect on her body, making her feel a little fuzzy.

Jiraiya looked at her worriedly, obviously wanting to show more affectionate concern, but he hesitated to speak. It felt like he was holding a breath but couldn't let it out.

Orochimaru on the side looked at his friend who was always timid at important moments.

Not only Orochimaru, but also Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya in confusion.

Gutless guy.

He is indeed a very courageous guy, Orochimaru deeply agrees. A woman like Tsunade who appears careless but is actually very sensitive is willing to show weakness in front of you, which is to give you a chance to appease her. This is also an opportunity for Jiraiya to go one step further and establish a relationship with Tsunade.

But in the end, Jiraiya still hesitated.

‘Maybe I am a failure. ’

Jiraiya thought to himself.

"Jiraiya." Tsunade shouted as she took another sip of wine.

"Tsunade?"

"Do you think you are a person who can settle down?"

"...Probably not."

"Yes, you are not a person who can settle down." Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya, her face was rosy and intoxicated.

"What I like now is someone who can settle down. This person can't be you."

So, got rejected again? He obviously didn't say anything.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly.

Orochimaru on the side sighed silently, a little unaware of Jiraiya's clumsiness.

Of course, maybe it's not just clumsiness, but Jiraiya also has his own knots, and Tsunade also has her own knots.

The two knots were dangling from each other, wanting to touch, but because each other's knots were pulling each other tightly, they could only dangle, seemingly close, but never really close.

Orochimaru decided to help Jiraiya.

Well, do yourself a favor at the same time.

Because he also hopes that Tsunade can stay.

"Jiraiya."

Orochimaru said: "If what we are going to do will bring unprecedented peace to this world, are you willing to settle down and stop pursuing an unattainable prophecy?"

"If it can really bring about an unprecedented peaceful situation." Jiraiya looked at the peaceful street scene of Konoha outside with a hint of longing, and said with a bright smile: "Then I will definitely settle down, after all. My true dream has come true, and the prophecy is no longer so important.”

"So Tsunade." Orochimaru said to Tsunade this time: "In order to prevent this fool from being fooled by the illusory prophecies, please stay and help us. You see, this fool also wants a stable life. We can work together in this direction.”

"Ha." Tsunade laughed indifferently.

He crossed his arms and burped from wine with his face flushed.

"What a fool."

"Ha ha."

Jiraiya smiled dryly and scratched his head.

Just when he thought Tsunade was rejecting such an invitation once again.

Tsunade's head tilted to the other side.

"Just stay with me for a while."

Jiraiya's eyes widened as he felt the surprise come too suddenly.

"After all, Jiraiya is an idiot. If he lets it go, I really don't know what kind of trouble he will cause."

Jiraiya took a sharp breath, and suddenly his face turned red and he looked away.

He felt that Tsunade really cared about him.

Thump, thump.

"Then, let's celebrate here, the reunion of our Sannin."

Orochimaru makes a toast here.

"cheers!"

The three clinked glasses again.

This chapter is about Tsunade’s reasons for staying. I hope you don’t think I’m being dumb. Tsunade, an important character in the original work, definitely can’t be mentioned casually, so I spent a lot of pen and ink on it. It also truly established the reunion of the Sannin.
