Chapter 411 Then I Have to Try My Best to Survive

Konoha, a izakaya.

The impending war has made the usually bustling izakaya a little quieter.

Most of the ninjas in the past are now busy dealing with the upcoming war, and there are very few of them tonight.

But at this moment two special guests walked in.

One is Tsunade, and the other is Jiraiya.

The two of them found a seat and sat down in silence, ordering drinks each.

The topic of conversation did not begin until the waiter at the izakaya brought the drinks.

Tsunade twisted her hand and opened the cap of the beer bottle. She just happened to notice that Jiraiya was staring at the beer in her hand and smiled:

"The war is about to start, and you're still thinking about my wine."

Jiraiya said, "The wine in other people's hands tastes better. By the way, you are in charge of the hospital in the rear, right?"

Tsunade handed over the beer in her hand and opened another bottle. After taking a sip, she wiped her mouth and said:

"Even a fool would know that the village would arrange this, Jiraiya..."

Tsunade stared into Jiraiya's eyes:

"You should take care of yourself. You will be in charge of the third battlefield this time. You will only bring 3,000 troops to deal with Iwagakure. Iwagakure has two Jinchūriki. You..."

Jiraiya interrupted with a smile, "Hasn't one of the Jinchūriki been crippled by that Haneda kid? Then the Akatsuki will also take action against the Jinchūriki, so what is there to worry about?"

Tsunade didn't say anything and remained silent. She took a big sip of wine, and the wine flowed down her throat into her esophagus.

Perhaps it was the stimulation brought by the alcohol, Tsunade's face turned slightly redder, with a woman's charm.

But Jiraiya was too familiar with Tsunade, so he didn't feel anything and just kept talking to himself:

"I went to Myoboku Mountain a few days ago. Do you know what the Great Toad Sage predicted?"

"He said that this war is complicated and confusing, and its scale far exceeds the previous three ninja world wars. It may also lead to the destruction of the world and the advent of the end of the world. No one can stay out of it."

Tsunade rested one arm on the table, holding her cheek with her hand, and asked with narrowed eyes:

"There will always be hope, right? He will eventually take action, and who can stop him then?"

Jiraiya said solemnly: "The son of prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage has changed. He said that a man with golden eyes will save the world. He will cut out a brilliant golden light and bring peace to the world."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Isn't this the kid Haneda? What else is there to say? His third eye is golden, no, it's also azure blue, and it hasn't changed from the beginning to the end."

Tsunade said, no longer interested in the war. She invited Jiraiya over not to talk about it.

Tsunade said: "Let's talk about yourself, Jiraiya. Every time you play the role of being at a disadvantage, you are always so cheerful. I am really afraid that you will die there."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Who am I? I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain!"

"I am also one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and a commander. If even a commander dies on the battlefield, the outcome of this war is determined."

No one knew what Tsunade was thinking. She just watched Jiraiya quietly acting as stubborn as before.

"Jiraiya..."

"What's wrong, Tsunade?"

"Don't try to be brave when you get to the battlefield. Come back alive. Even if you only have one breath left, you must live. I can save you..."

Jiraiya asked, he looked at Tsunade's face, and the face of the usually violent woman showed a kind of farewell and romantic expression.

Jiraiya, who had been peeping at women for many years and had read and written love stories, suddenly understood something.

He suddenly had an urge to confess his feelings to Tsunade, but he felt that if he said so, it would embarrass Tsunade.

His feelings for Tsunade are very special. Tsunade is his classmate, his comrade-in-arms, and the object of his admiration.

If he really confessed his feelings, he didn't know if his relationship with Tsunade would remain the same as before.

Even though Tsunade's former lover Kato Dan is dead...

Jiraiya closed his eyes and stopped looking at Tsunade's face. He joked:

"If I died, would you cry for me?"

Tsunade remained silent, still keeping her head down.

Jiraiya still used a joking tone and laughed, "Haha, if that's the case, I'll be very happy, Tsunade."

"But I shouldn't be able to be as sad as Duan, right?"

Tsunade slammed the table so hard that it almost broke, which brought Jiraiya back to reality.

Jiraiya felt a little lost and relieved as he watched Tsunade return to her familiar violent female role.

"Just try your favorite game."

"Don't you always lose when you gamble, Tsunade?"

"Just bet I'll die."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's face and finally mustered up the courage:

"But if I can come back alive..."

Tsunade's face was already flushed in a way that was different from being drunk.

She opened her mouth, as if expecting, yet also as if afraid, that Jiraiya would say that.

The two looked at each other and stared at each other. Time seemed to stop and all thoughts stopped at this moment.

At this time, Orochimaru walked in. He looked at the blushing Tsunade, suddenly understood something, and was about to leave.

At this time, Tsunade said:

"Orochimaru is here, Jiraiya. You invited him, right?"

"..." Jiraiya didn't know what to say at this moment, and he let go of the courage he had finally mustered.

He laughed to hide his embarrassment and turned back to greet Orochimaru:

"Orochimaru, you... you came at the perfect time!"

Hearing this tone, Orochimaru completely understood something, and he said awkwardly:

"Yeah, what a coincidence, I'm just passing by, I'll be leaving now."

Orochimaru opened the door, and it slammed shut, and the person disappeared.

Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru as he left, staring at the closed door, cursing.

It doesn't come when it should come, and it comes when it shouldn't come...

I believed that you could help me pursue Tsunade back then, no wonder I failed that year, it turns out you were the one making things worse!

Suddenly, Tsunade spoke:

"Then let's bet. I bet you come back alive and accompany me to see the mountains and rivers."

"I always lose when I gamble, so you won't succeed either..."

Jiraiya was completely stunned. He moved his neck stiffly and turned back to look at Tsunade.

But Tsunade had her head down at this time, and Jiraiya could not see Tsunade's expression at all, let alone tell whether Tsunade wanted him to say that or not.

He is lustful and has slept with countless women. He has flirted with many women, including his student Xiaonan.

He was also inferior and weak. He never dared to confess his feelings in front of Tsunade because he was afraid of being beaten...

But this time it was Tsunade who brought it up. He was surprised but couldn't find the words to respond. In the end, he habitually replied in a joking tone:

"Hahaha... Tsunade, do you really want me to die on the battlefield?"

"Then I must try my best to survive this time and break your curse of losing every time I gamble!"
