Chapter 217

"It's finally over. The only thing left is Konoha's Nine-Tailed Fox..."

Black Zetsu murmured in a low voice, with a faint smile flashing in his empty eyes.

"If you want to launch an illusion that changes the world, you must gather the chakra of the nine tailed beasts. If you want to catch the Nine-Tailed Fox, the difficulty is..."

Nagato frowned slightly, but Black Zetsu quickly added.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi is a technique that covers the entire world. No object can block the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi. The Nine-Tailed Fox has the most chakra among the nine tailed beasts and is also an indispensable part."

The lavender eyes stared at the front, and the half-black and half-white Zetsu quickly showed an expression that he was thinking about Nagato.

"Don't you want to see your friend again? Everything in the Infinite Tsukuyomi is defined by you. Giving your friends a complete life and making the world truly peaceful is not your wish all along?"

"Only by falling into the world of illusion can humans stop fighting forever and smooth out the root badness of humans..."

Faced with Zetsu's remarks, Nagato said nothing, but walked silently out of the base.

"Then I'll trust you again..."

Black Zetsu, who did not see Nagato's expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and Nagato, who turned his back to Black Zetsu and Afei, had a subtle look in his eyes.

'Illusions are dreams after all. Even if I have to endure pain and carry a heavy burden, I will fulfill your and Konan's wishes and make this world truly move towards painful peace, Yahiko...'

On the other hand, near the hot spring town outside Konoha Village, near a tourist city full of casinos.

It was evening, and Jiraiya and Naruto were planning to find a hotel to rest for a night after wandering aimlessly all day.

In the distant game hall, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"Amazing! That woman just shook out a leopard and won a lot in one go..."

"Eh? I saw that girl nearby a few days ago. Not only did she shake out three 7s on the game machine, she also killed everyone along the way!"

"Really? She's so lucky..."

Jiraiya heard this in the crowd and shook his head.

With such good luck, it's obvious that it's not her. According to her personality, it would be strange if she didn't lose so much that she didn't even have money for accommodation.

Jiraiya sneered and was about to leave with his head shaking. He was about to take Naruto to a nearby izakaya for a meal when he suddenly heard something and paused slightly.

"Shizune, pack your things and leave here immediately. There is trouble coming."

"Tsunade-sama, wait a minute, the money has not been packed yet..."

"No more!"

The next second, Tsunade, who came out of the crowd, was stunned in place. The white-haired strong man behind the crowd turned around and looked into her eyes.

"Tsunade!"

"Jiraiya!"

Shizune, who hurried over, was also slightly stunned after seeing it. How could she meet Jiraiya-sama here?

On the side, Naruto looked curiously, wanting to see what this beauty who was said to be of the same generation as the lustful sage looked like.

Her long light yellow hair was tied into a big ponytail, and the light blue-purple mark on her forehead was very conspicuous. Her facial features were prominent and curved.

At first glance, she gave people a feeling of ripe peaches, gorgeous and mature.

However, when Naruto thought that the woman in front of him was actually about the same age as Jiraiya next to him, he couldn't help but complain.

"Is this really not a fraud by appearance?"

The four words "fraud by appearance" were clearly heard. Tsunade frowned and turned her head to look at Naruto beside her with a bad look.

"Fraud? Does this kid know how to speak? Who did I deceive?!"

After that, she turned her head and stared at Jiraiya, laughing.

"What bad luck! I didn't expect to meet you here. This is your new disciple. He looks stupid and has no future even if he becomes a ninja!"

For a moment, Naruto's mouth twitched. This old woman was really sharp-tongued and didn't want to suffer any loss.

Glancing at his clothes, Naruto sighed helplessly and glanced at Jiraiya beside him.

If he hadn't said that his red fairy cloak was too conspicuous, how could Naruto choose to change into his old clothes? His taste was really bad at that time!

"It just happened to meet you, which saved me a lot of effort. Let's go over there for a drink. We have been wandering outside the village, so let's have a good chat..."

After a while, inside the pub.

After three cups of wine, Jiraiya, who had not said a word except ordering food, spoke first.

"Some time ago, Orochimaru teamed up with a mysterious organization to launch the Konoha collapse plan. The Third Hokage died in the battle. This time I came here to invite you to return to Konoha to serve as the Fifth Hokage."

After these words came out, Tsunade, who was drinking by herself, remained silent, and Shizune beside her was shocked when she heard the words.Color.

"The Third Hokage died in battle, how is that possible? The Third Hokage is a ninja professor..."

"The one who did it was Orochimaru, but he was also killed. The five members of the mysterious organization Akatsuki are all famous S-class rebel ninjas, and the leader of the organization even has the Samsara Eye."

Jiraiya said softly with a heavy expression, but Tsunade lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"The Samsara Eye, that's not the eye of the legendary Six Paths Sage, Tsunade-sama, we should..."

"Why don't you be the Fifth Hokage?"

Tsunade interrupted Shizune without waiting for her to continue, and threw the wine cup in her hand on the table casually.

"I don't have time. The leader of Akatsuki, that kid... Nagato, is my disciple."

"It is the teacher's duty to lead a disciple astray. I will personally lead him back to the right path. If I can't do it, I will solve it myself. This is the teacher's duty!"

Jiraiya's eyes were deep, and Tsunade's pupils shrank beside him, knowing his determination.

"You..."

"Relax, relax, isn't your luck very bad? Then bet that I will die, anyway, you will lose every time you bet, hahahaha!!!"

Laughing heartily, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, hoping that this old friend in front of him would agree to his request.

"I..."

With her brows deeply furrowed, Tsunade's hesitation made Naruto, who was waiting on the side, feel complicated, and more impatient and angry.

Recalling the expressions of those people who wanted to say something but stopped at the meeting, and then looking at the hesitant woman in front of her, if she was some impatient person, she would have overturned the table and left.

That's the Hokage, a position that countless people in Konoha Village dream of. Danzo has been planning for decades, just for the throne of Hokage!

Fortunately, the current Naruto is not the Naruto of the past. He slowly put down his chopsticks with an indifferent tone.

"Enough, lustful sage, since she doesn't want to be the fifth Hokage, it's okay to let the teacher act as the deputy. The Fourth Ninja World War is about to start, and there is no time to waste with her."

"Wait, little brother, what are you talking about? The Fourth Ninja World War?"

Shizune covered her mouth and exclaimed, Naruto's eyes agreed and glanced at Tsunade.

"Akatsuki has taken away eight tailed beasts from the five major countries, and it is possible to start a war at any time. This time, the village that will become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is Konoha."

"We can't let such a weak woman become the fifth Hokage!"
