Chapter 115 Don't Test Me with Your Majesty

Tsunade frowned slightly, and a complex expression flashed across her exquisite face. She was a little tipsy, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Then, she raised a disdainful arc at the corner of her mouth, and her words were full of sarcasm and helplessness: "Hokage? Humph, who wants to sit in that position. Even if you sit in it, what can you do? It's not for those so-called ideals and dreams, but in the end, you die in vain. You easily gamble your life for the village. Life is different from money. It's a fool's behavior to gamble your life so easily. Just like my grandfather, the first and second Hokage, they were so powerful, but they all wanted to quell the war, but what was the result? The dream has not been realized, and they lost their lives for the village in vain."

Jiraiya's face was calm, but there was a slight flash of disbelief in his eyes. He said slowly: "Tsunade, you have really changed."

Tsunade snorted twice, her voice cold: "I am already over fifty years old, time will change a person. Sarutobi teacher is also old, but he is still so self-righteous. What is the result? If he doesn't die, then who should die? Hokage is a piece of trash, whoever wants to do it can do it"

At this moment, Naruto could no longer hold back, and a slight but not negligible breath suddenly burst out. Unlike the original owner, he did not have the so-called dream of becoming a Hokage. For him, the most wanted thing was to play badly in peace. However, at this moment, he could not tolerate Tsunade openly slandering the third generation he respected.

Naruto widened his eyes, stared at Tsunade with anger on his face, and said loudly: "Grandma Tsunade, the third-generation grandfather is an extremely respectable man! In order to protect the village, he gave everything he had without reservation. He is not self-righteous, but resolutely assumed his due responsibilities. Even though he has sacrificed now, it is a worthy death and it is extremely glorious. This world is not perfect, however, there are always some people who have ardent dreams, like hardworking craftsmen, working hard to sew and mend, just to make this world a better place. For the sake of their loved ones and partners, they are willing to carry the burden and silently bear everything. They are by no means idiots, they just hope that everyone around them can run and jump freely and enjoy the beauty of life. They just don't want the people around them to be affected by the war again, and they just don't want to see the people they cherish suffer pain and suffering. They are so kind and brave, what's wrong with that?"

Then, Naruto slowly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The successive Hokage and those who have sacrificed heroically for the village, I firmly believe that they will never regret the choices they have made. Even when faced with life and death tests, they have never chosen to escape, but resolutely stepped forward to protect the village with their lives. Their courage and responsibility, their selfless dedication, are the backbone of the village and a model for future generations to admire. Unlike some people, who are willing to degenerate in the face of difficulties, lose their direction, and forget their previous vows and responsibilities. Her cowardice and evasion are in sharp contrast to the greatness of the successive Hokage and the sacrifices, which makes people feel deeply sad and disgusted. Even if the deceased knew about it, they would definitely be ashamed of it."

After listening to Naruto's words, Tsunade held up the unfinished wine glass in her hand and stared at Naruto in a daze. For a moment, the drunkenness dissipated a lot and she became a little sober. She really couldn't imagine that she had lived for decades and experienced countless hardships, but now she was taught a lesson by a kid who was still wet behind the ears and hadn't even grown all his hair. Then, she felt ashamed and angry, slammed her hands on the table, stood up suddenly, approached Naruto, and shouted loudly: "Little boy, come out and fight me if you dare!" That momentum seemed to vent all the shame and anger in her heart.

Naruto looked at Tsunade approaching, and his heart suddenly tightened. From childhood to adulthood, whether in the previous life or the next life, he had never faced such "majesty" at such a close distance. For a moment, he actually felt like he was being completely controlled.

Tsunade looked at Naruto who remained silent, and continued to speak aggressively: "Little brat, weren't you so arrogant just now? Come out and fight me if you dare!" Her eyes were burning with anger and unwillingness, as if she wanted to redeem her dignity as an elder through this duel. But Naruto was in a complex mood at this time, and he was at a loss because of the truth that was so close to him.

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly had an idea in his mind. He laughed, "Tsunade, don't be impulsive. Don't argue with a kid. Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, so he must have a very high level of awareness. Since you want to fight him in a duel, it's bullying anyway. How about this? You two make a deal. If Naruto wins, you go back to be the Hokage. If Naruto loses, you give the necklace to Naruto. What do you think?"

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade looked at him coldly and said, "So I am the one who suffers whether we win or lose."

Feeling Tsunade's gaze, Jiraiya was not afraid at all, "What, do you dare?"

"Shut up, you have none of your business here." Tsunade looked straight at Naruto again and said, "Kid, what do you say?" There was both provocation and a hint of imperceptible expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for Naruto to respond so that she would have the opportunity to prove that she was not someone who could be easily taught a lesson by a little kid.

At this time, Naruto finally came back to his senses from the two oppressions. He resisted the urge in his heart, pointed his finger at Tsunade's oppression, and said, "Is this how you want to test me?"

Tsunade was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Naruto to react like this. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and she naturally did not understand the meaning of Naruto's words. "Kid, you are very courageous. However, this is not a test, I just can't stand your arrogance."

Naruto did not back down, staring at Tsunade with his eyes piercing, "In that case, I will accept your challenge. But I am not doing this for the necklace, nor am I trying to force you to become Hokage. I just want to tell you that I will never bow down to Apoko."

Tsunade's eyes flashed with appreciation, "Well, kid, you have guts. Let me see how capable you are."

Shizune stood nervously by the side, not daring to breathe. She had followed Tsunade for so many years, but she had never seen Tsunade so obsessed with a boy. Her eyes moved back and forth between Tsunade and Naruto. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

The pig in Shizune's arms made a "no yo, no yo" sound, and seemed to be uneasy about the tense atmosphere. It looked at Tsunade and Naruto with its round eyes, and tilted its head to one side, as if thinking about the outcome of the upcoming battle.
