Chapter 158 Kakashi, Kushina, Tsunade, Jiraiya
While Hyuga Hiashi was still planning to identify a large number of available subordinates for himself before Kushinaga gave birth, Kakashi's life was quite boring.
After returning alive from the battlefield and becoming the hero of Konoha praised by Konoha's absolute nightmare in the Third Ninja World War, he received exactly the same treatment as his father before being condemned.
The hero of Konoha, the future backbone of Konoha, and the most reliable genius of the Hokage.
Naturally, he became Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu for a short time, and after Danzo came to power, he officially removed the duties of the Anbu and was ready to become a guiding jonin of the jonin class at any time.
The future is worry-free.
But life has become like a pool of dead silence.
There is no hot-blooded idiot Might Guy and Uchiha Obito who are tirelessly challenging him.
There is also no Nohara Rin who can accompany him to quietly blow the wind and feel the beauty of life.
The teacher who used to love him very much is now living as negatively as himself.
Two equally negative people cannot have a good experience.
Although the master's wife has changed and is no longer as fierce as before.
However, due to her pregnancy and her special identity, as well as the fact that Danzo sent the Root Ninja to closely monitor her, he could not feel the beauty of life from her.
Of course, the most important thing is.
He lost his goal.
Konoha did conduct human experiments with Wood Release, and indeed wasted many innocent children, and even caused one of the three Konoha ninjas to defect.
But there was never any information about Obito mixed in.
Perhaps it was because they had never used Obito, or perhaps it was because that successful experiment made Konoha seal everything up.
But no matter what, where to start the investigation is unknown.
Even in Kakashi's heart, did Obito's absence for so long mean that something that made him desperate had happened!
If that was the case, he would never forgive Konoha.
Now, even if it was not confirmed that the village had taken action against Obito, he could not say that he had much attachment to the village.
More importantly, the intensified conflicts caused by Danzo's rise to power also affected him.
This kind of betrayal thinking inertia has become deeper and deeper, and gradually cannot be removed.
The irony is here, a traitor is given the hope of becoming Hokage by the third generation.
He is still incompetent and can't see anything clearly.
Just like he didn't see the right and wrong of his father's incident clearly.
"Kakashi."
The deep voice from outside the door pulled Kakashi back to his mind, and he stood up to open the door.
"Asuma?"
"It's me."
Asuma took a breath and looked at the news that was sent non-stop.
"This is the news that Lady Kuyukina specially ordered to give to you."
"Yes."
Kakashi listened to the news that Kuyukina gave him, and he also became serious.
He hurriedly opened it and looked at the familiar beautiful handwriting on it, and Kakashi's hands froze on the spot.
Kakashi, I don't believe Danzo, can you come to protect me?
This scene of deep affection between master and apprentice made Kakashi's heart ache.
Not long ago, he sent the news that Kushina was going to give birth to Kaguya Naoki.
At that time, he still maintained his past life, psychology, and state of mind, thinking that it was nothing for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to be taken care of by the Kirigakure Village.
Moreover, he did not reveal the news of the guardian power or the deployment of ninjas.
Even the news of the birth time can be found out with a little effort.
But this is also a kind of betrayal.
Just like Konoha betrayed him, if the master's wife knew about it, she would definitely be heartbroken.
He knew what it felt like.
So, in order to make up for it.
Kakashi clenched the knife, he wanted to protect Kushina well and not let anyone hurt him.
Suddenly, he paused again.
After smiling indifferently at Asuma, Kakashi sent another scroll of inquiry to Kirigakure.
Not long after, after receiving Kirigakure's guarantee that Kushina would never attack him, and the scroll asking Kakashi to protect Kushina well.
He walked into Kusuna's courtyard.
"Teacher."
Kakashi looked at Minato Namikaze who was basking in the sun in the courtyard and bowed respectfully.
For such a gentle and kind teacher who just smiled, he really couldn't have any bad feelings.
"Thank you, Kakashi."
How hypocritical, still this hypocritical look.
As for Kakashi, he still looked like an idiot, and still wanted to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
I'll let you know that you can't protect anything!
Sitting in the jungle not far away, Uchiha Obito looked at the harmonious scene below, without any feeling, only strong disgust!
Why can you people live here, but only leave Lin behind!
Since you can do this, don't blame me.
The cold and chilly breath kept surging in Uchiha Obito's body.
Next, all the pain you will suffer is all.
You deserve it!
——
"Finally found you, Tsunade."
On a dim night, outside the old and mottled tavern, the white-haired man put away the heroic and unruly expression on his face.
He let out a long breath to relieve his inner tension because he was about to meet that person. ,
He suddenly pulled open the curtain, walked straight to the corner, and found Tsunade who was sulking alone because of losing money.
Looking at her slightly red face and the gray hair, Jiraiya took a deep breath, grabbed a glass of wine that had just been filled on the table, and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth.
In order to cover the blush on his face.
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade looked at the empty wine glass, clenched her fist, and gestured fiercely.
"Tsunade, this is a pub, don't be too impulsive."
Jiraiya hurriedly dodged backwards and scratched his head.
"Okay, you guy, don't waste my time here."
"Get lost."
Tsunade poured another glass of wine and poured it into her mouth, making her cheeks even redder.
"I have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh?"
"Important?"
Tsunade finally raised her head from the wine table and looked at Jiraiya's ruddy face, which was full of seriousness.
Then she slowly propped herself up, raised her arms and stretched her waist.
The two elastic balls inevitably bounced, and Jiraiya's eyes followed them instinctively.
He stared at the amazing thing for a long time.
"What, do you really want to die?"
Tsunade scolded, which shocked Jiraiya's mind.
All the unspeakable scenes were shattered and disappeared in an instant, and Jiraiya quickly came back to his senses and became serious.
"Tsunade, I'm here to ask you to return to the village and become Hokage."
"It seems that you really want to die, Jiraiya."
"I."
"Get lost!"
A fist with a fragrant breeze hit Jiraiya's cheek heavily, with full power and skill.
Because Jiraiya only slid out a perfect trajectory in the air, and then fell heavily on the ground to smash a big hole, but he didn't hurt the izakaya after all.
"Tsunade."
Jiraiya came back to pray tirelessly again.
He hoped that Tsunade could take the responsibility she should bear.
"I said, do you want to die?"
The fierce murderous aura burst out, and everyone's eyes gathered.
But when they saw the white-haired Konoha ninja and the blonde Konoha ninja, they vaguely thought of the rumors of the Konoha Sannin, and quickly turned their heads away.
"I don't want to die. But."
Jiraiya exhaled deeply.
"Tsunade, the village has reached a point where none of us can act willfully."
"Konoha is our hometown and memory."
"Do you really not want to protect the village? No matter how much you hate it, it is your hometown, isn't it?"
Tsunade's eyes flickered, and her chin slightly raised, as if hinting Jiraiya to continue.
"Orochimaru defected, and the old man did not stop after stepping down, and began to compete with Danzo for the position of Hokage."
"Not to mention Danzo, he is a complete bastard Hokage, the Sand Village betrayed, the Uchiha is ready to move, and there are more undercurrents lurking in it."
"So what?!"
Tsunade's voice was loud, but it couldn't cover up the panic in her eyes.
"Aren't you still looking for the child of prophecy? Don't you still not want to be Hokage?"
Jiraiya was speechless.
Tsunade showed a mocking smile.
"It seems that the situation in the village is not so critical that you still have no intention of taking on the responsibility."
"I."
Jiraiya wanted to explain.
"Okay."
Tsunade interrupted, and at the same time restrained all her expressions, suddenly becoming serious.
Jiraiya also became serious.
Is this a turning point?
"I'll bet with you."
Jiraiya's body shook violently.
"When is it?"
"Let's use this bet to bet whether I will go with you!"
Jiraiya suddenly smiled.
A smile from the heart.
As long as he wins the bet on Tsunade, he can let her return to the village.
As for whether he wins or not, that's clear!
How could he not win the famous fat sheep.
Stupid Jiraiya.
Tsunade couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly.
She didn't say whether she would go with him if she won or lost.
"Come on, let's see how lucky you are!"
Tsunade seemed very heroic, and Jiraiya looked at the mountain suspiciously, but still retracted his gaze.
"Wait!" "Wait!"
Jiraiya had no time to look at the miracle mountain that was shaking because of pride, and just looked at the dice with disbelief.
"How could I lose to Tsunade."
"Come again, come again, this time I want to gamble!"
...
"Not a drop left!"
After losing all his few assets, Jiraiya, who didn't believe in evil, started gambling again.
The gambling was wine.
Now, even the wine had been completely drunk by him.
Lost 32 times in a row.
Lost 32 times in a row in front of Tsunade!
This is, what an incredible record, how could he lose like this to a fat sheep.
Jiraiya felt that he was about to lose all his face.
This was indeed the case.
His red butt face really looked like the skin had been plucked out of his face.
I lost.
Not only did he lose people, he also lost the future of Konoha.
Jiraiya felt that he was a failure.
He seemed to have accomplished few things in his life.
Orochimaru defected.
He failed to protect both disciples.
The village was also messed up.
Everything was a failure.
"I'll go with you."
"Got it."
"I'll go now."
"Wait, eh?"
"What did you say?"
Jiraiya looked up from the table in disbelief, looking at the woman in front of him who had become serious without knowing when, and asked.
"What did you just say?"
"You damn white-haired ghost!"
"I said, I'll go with you!"
Tsunade crushed all the dice on the table.
"Are you still not leaving?"
"Let's go."
Jiraiya was afraid that Tsunade would regret it, so he shook his body and tried to walk out the door.
"Let's take a rest for a night."
Jiraiya pointed to the hotel not far away. His ruddy face and dark sky made it impossible to see his wretched expression.
"I heard there is only one room there. Why don't we just make do with each other? It'll only take one night."
Bang!
"Wake up."
"Okay, okay, stop fighting."
Jiraiya got up quickly.
However, he laughed while touching his painful forehead.
"Are you really going with me? I thought I was dreaming."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Tsunade was very serious, contrary to her usual behavior, and looked quite strange.
Jiraiya stopped provoking her, fearing that Tsunade would regret it, and hurried to Konoha.
Along the way, Tsunade just looked at the road ahead and felt the dice residue in her hand.
There was only one thing that kept coming back to her mind.
I won again.
I won so much.
However.
Every time I win, it seems that nothing good will happen.
If the village is really destroyed by these guys.
Then, how can I face Grandpa, Dan, and Nawaki?
"Tsunade."
"Hmm?"
Tsunade thought Jiraiya was going to harass him again, and her tone was cold.
"This time it's serious business."
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.
"Kushina is about to give birth."
"There may be accidents."
"So, please summon as many clones of the living slug as possible.
Then let them protect and treat the injured villagers."
Jiraiya said, and asked worriedly.
"In this case, it shouldn't trigger your hemophobia, right?"
Hearing the word hemophobia, Tsunade suddenly looked helpless and showed an ugly smile.
"Jiraiya, I'm afraid I can't do that. After all, I can share the vision of Lord Husband."
"If that's the case, how can I treat the wounded? After all, as long as I see blood, I will be afraid and tremble, so that I can't maintain chakra at all."
"I can only trust you."
Tsunade showed a pale smile.
"Really?"
"Then I will reluctantly trust myself."
"After all, you bastard is right, that's my hometown!"
——
At the same time, the whole world and all forces are also preparing their trump cards, silently waiting for the opportunity to come.
After Jiraiya and Tsunade returned to the village, more than a dozen sunrises and sunsets, when dusk came.
Uzumaki Kushina, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes and covered her bulging belly.
A new life is about to come to this world.
