In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Konoha's top brass was quite busy, and Danzo kept a low profile. Konoha was busy rebuilding and repairing, and the vacant positions needed to be filled. The Land of Fire also wanted to provide financial assistance to Konoha.

There are only two major issues that have been put on hold for the time being.

The first is the selection of the Fifth Hokage. The two advisors’ opinions are to postpone it, and if Tsunade can come back, they will strongly promote Tsunade.

The second issue is about how to deal with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The top leaders have different opinions, and the vote can only be held after the Fifth Hokage takes the throne.

Naruto is now a lonely monster under the tower, covered in scales, and is being judged.

The higher-ups were like gods, forcing him to be exposed in the open air, watching the noble adults at the round table vote by raising their hands. What humiliated him most was that they wanted Naruto to love them like a dog.

As long as the Nine-Tails is in Naruto's body, Naruto will be equivalent to the Nine-Tails.

But the system's pending progress tasks have been completed by nearly one-fifth, which means that one day, even if the Nine-Tailed Fox is separated from Naruto, he can still use the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He waited for the day to come when Kyuubi would be free and he would be free too.

As for how the top leaders would go crazy after losing the tailed beasts, that had nothing to do with him.

One day, even gods will fall from the tower and turn into monsters.

Until then, he would always look up at them, watch them, and one day drag them into the daylight like a dead dog.

"How many days have you been hungry?"

"Just..."

"speak nicely."

"One day." Tayuya raised his head and smiled with a hint of contempt.

"Really?" Naruto glanced at her and pointed at Tayuya, "Your transformation technique has become ineffective due to hunger."

"Eh?"

Duoyou was stunned for a second, then raised her hand and touched her face, her pupils suddenly dilated.

"You have seen my true face, so I can only ask you to die."

Hearing this, Naruto yawned and took out enough food from the sealed space, ignoring Tayuya's words.

"What good will it do to you if you kill me?"

"Are you afraid?"

"You can't beat me, forget it. I'll raze the whole building to the ground and you'll have nowhere to hide."

"Then I'll kill you next time for the sake of these foods." Tayuya muttered.

"I'm leaving now. See you next time. Don't die in my hands."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tayuya took a bite of bread and stared at Naruto, "You are the one. Next time I will definitely kill you."

Naruto said nothing and left directly using Flying Thunder God.

"This guy is really weird, stupid but rich..."

In the darkness, Tayuya tore open another bag of bread and muttered complaints.

"I've never tasted it before, it's a new flavor."

.......

As usual, Naruto returned to his somewhat unfamiliar new home and fell asleep on the sofa in the spacious living room, perhaps because he had traveled too many places in one day.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day.

Naruto hurriedly left with his bag on his back. He hadn't prepared anything else, as the sealed space contained everything he needed. He only had some money and clothes in his bag, nothing else.

Jiraiya also has a sealing scroll that allows him to store items by summoning toads, so he doesn't need to carry too many things.

The journey took about three days.

Naruto, who was sitting in the store having a tea break, suddenly heard a ding sound in his mind. The familiar mechanical synthesized sound sounded again after a long time.

The panel pops up.

[Option 1: Find Tsunade and have her return to the village to inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage. Reward: Tail Seal (Invulnerable Version) Note: Jinchūriki will not die from the removal of a tailed beast.]

[Option 2: Find Tsunade and prevent her from returning to the village to inherit the Fifth Hokage position. Reward: Wind Style Shuriken (Maximum Level)]

Naruto took a sip of tea in silence and said to Jiraiya who was drinking across from him.

"If Princess Tsunade doesn't return to succeed the Fifth Hokage, will you, the lecherous sage, be recalled by the higher-ups?"

"That's true." Jiraiya was a little drunk and reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the waitress. "But there's no way I'll ever be Hokage. Who would do such a boring job?"

"Then you, lecherous sage, do your best to find Princess Tsunade as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Jiraiya stood up and looked at Naruto drunkenly, "You should pay attention to your own affairs. If Tsunade approves of you..."

"So you like Princess Tsunade?"

"This...this, you...what nonsense are you talking about, kid!" Jiraiya talked to him and scratched his head.

"dislike?"

"That's not true." Jiraiya was drunk and said to himself, "Tsunade has always been beautiful."

"Then you, lecherous sage, must convince Princess Tsunade to return to the village and succeed the Godaime Hokage."

"Why did I say that?"

"I'm afraid of getting beaten."

Jiraiya: "You kid..."

"Since you are both one of the three ninjas, you must have been friends since childhood." Naruto said seriously, patiently, "No one knows Princess Tsunade better than you, the lecherous sage, right?"

"You little brat, you're not wrong." Jiraiya grinned, sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

"If we find Tsunade, we won't be captured and taken back to be Hokage."

Naruto's words were like the whispers of a devil, luring people into the abyss.

Since I couldn't get away with it, I had to lie.

Chapter 83 Too Introverted, So I Draw My Sword

The next day, Jiraiya sobered up and found the hotel room filled with bright sunlight.

The window of the room was opened early, and the place where Naruto's bed should be was empty, probably because he went out to play.

In the empty room, Jiraiya leaned against the head of the bed with a calm expression.

What you fear will come true. I can’t even remember when I last met Tsunade.

The village is still the same village, but they have grown old.

The moment he closed his eyes, all he could see were images of the deaths of those he cared about. It was supposed to be a legendary life, with both the master and the apprentice becoming Hokage, and all the students being excellent ninjas.

But they are all dead.

If I could do it again, I would probably be able to stop Orochimaru from going astray, stop being rejected by Tsunade, protect my master and disciple, find a way to change the ninja world, and train the child of prophecy.

Perhaps this kind of life is perfect and can be compared with the great achievements of previous Hokage.

It's a pity that everything in the past is like ashes, blown away by the wind. Now I can look back on the past while drunk, indulge in a moment of pleasure in my dreams, and talk about it to comfort myself.

It is also difficult to continue writing about the heroic story of Jiraiya.

This failed life.

boom!

The door was opened from the outside and Naruto walked in with lunch and called out.

"Hey, lecherous immortal, are you awake?"

"time to eat."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto putting his lunch box on the table, and his expression suddenly changed, and he smiled with a hint of relief.

"I didn't expect you to be so considerate. No wonder you were able to kidnap the Yamanaka family's daughter."

"Watch your words, lecherous sage." Naruto opened the lunch box and took out the food one by one on the table in front of the window. "You were drunk yesterday. Eat first."

"I didn't say anything weird yesterday, did I?" Jiraiya got up, put on his slippers and prepared to wash up.

The simple room only had an ordinary bathroom, two ordinary double beds, a table, a stool, and a balcony. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

The yellowed wallpaper and the wind-dried exterior walls all exude the word cheap from the inside out.

It's not that the two of them were short of money, but Jiraiya insisted that a ninja's life should be hard and simple, so they resolutely chose this inn next to the charming hotel.

"Yesterday, you were drunk, you lecherous immortal, and you insisted on going to the love shop next door to play."

"I can't stop you, so I can only let you go."

"What?" Jiraiya quickly opened his wallet, and then his expression became even more horrified, "Why do I have an extra three thousand taels?"

"Well..." Naruto scratched his neck, smiled and said nothing.

"Say it!"

"I got 3,000 ryo from it." Naruto's words made Jiraiya's eyes darken instantly, "Actually, the total is 6,000 ryo."

Jiraiya suddenly became like a deflated ball, lying motionless on the bed with dull eyes.

Seeing this, Naruto comforted him.

"Lewd Immortal, it's no big deal. Six thousand taels for a push is still a good deal."

"A push? What do you mean?" Jiraiya suddenly sat up from the bed.

"You insisted on going to the love shop, and someone pushed you at the door..." Naruto started eating by himself, saying as he ate, "You know, I'm a bit introverted."

"He wasn't good at reasoning with people, so he just put the knife to the man's neck."

"Introverted?" Jiraiya was stunned.

You stole six thousand taels? This kid doesn't even know what the Three Ninja Rings are!

However, after confirming that he did not exchange his body for the three thousand ryo, Jiraiya felt at ease again. He counted the three thousand ryo and waved to Naruto again.

"Little ghost, I'll keep your three thousand taels for you."

"No." Naruto opened Jiraiya's hand and said with a snort, "Eat quickly. We still have to hurry after eating."

"You are such a smart kid." Jiraiya withdrew his hand in disappointment, but there was a smile on his face.

Looking at that guy holding the bowl with a smile on his face, it seemed as if he was saying that if you have no conscience, you will earn more.

Jiraiya couldn't help laughing. The sun was shining brightly outside the window and a gentle breeze was blowing.

......

After continuing on their journey, Jiraiya proposed the idea of ​​taking Naruto as his disciple.

Naruto didn't say anything and just agreed.

But when Jiraiya proposed to train with him for a long time, Naruto refused directly. He couldn't live such an ascetic life with Jiraiya for a long time. Jiraiya was a playboy, but Naruto was not.

After leaving home, Naruto began to miss the sofa and the big bed where he could sleep until he woke up naturally. Although Konoha didn't treat him well, they couldn't do anything to him.

If things are not sold to him, he will take them. As long as he pays, it is not considered robbery.

If they really don’t give it to me, I’ll just beat them up.

If he doesn't wear a forehead protector, he's not a ninja. The higher-ups won't care. He'll just be fine. Anyway, he's not short of money right now; he just wants to be happy.

He didn't want to practice, he just wanted to lie down.

Even if it means wasting your life, just complete the tasks given by the system and become stronger slowly.

Finally, Jiraiya had no choice but to suggest that Naruto practice the Rasengan while looking for Tsunade. Naruto thought that since he would have nothing to do when he was not traveling, he simply agreed.

But practicing is not that easy, and Naruto is not as hardworking as Jiraiya imagined. Fortunately, his attitude towards practicing ninjutsu is quite correct, so Jiraiya turned a blind eye and let Naruto pass.

At night, the two entered Tance Street.

"There must be a trick to the Rasengan, right?" Naruto asked.

"You have to figure this out on your own. Don't keep nagging me like this!" Jiraiya said impatiently.

The bustling streets were brightly lit, with numerous shops, wine shops, and gambling dens. Jiraiya walked ahead, looking around, searching for a nearby shop.
