Chapter 79 Snakes, slugs and toads are not the same people.

Konoha.

Short book street.

In a tavern, the members of Sarutobi's class gathered together after a long absence.

Jiraiya held the wine glass in his hand and took a sip happily: "Tsunade, Orochimaru, the three of us haven't gathered together for a long time!"

"I have already applied with the old man. After Mito-sama's matter is over, I will travel around the ninja world to find the son of prophecy. The chances of meeting each other will probably become less and less in the future..."

Orochimaru sneered, held the wine glass elegantly with his white fingers, took a sip, and said slowly: "You are really an idiot, Jiraiya."

"You plan to use your own life to confirm the toad's prophecy. Do you like to waste your life?

Jiraiya shrugged indifferently and glanced at Orochimaru with disdain: "What do you know? The Great Toad Sage is a being who is said to have talked to the Sage of Six Paths..."

Orochimaru said coldly: "That's just a toad."

For Orochimaru, even he would respect the master of Ryūchi Cave as White Snake Sage, but in his eyes, even if an animal can speak human words, it is still an animal...

Especially the creation of an illusory savior like the Son of Prophecy made Orochimaru dislike Mount Myoboku. How could a mere psychic beast judge the fate of mankind?

In his opinion, only an idiot like Jiraiya would believe it unconditionally.

As a friend of Jiraiya, Orochimaru had already persuaded him in his own way.

But obviously, Jiraiya didn't listen.

Jiraiya cursed a few words with Orochimaru, then turned to Tsunade and shouted:

"Hey, Tsunade, to be fair, what do you think? This is the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage!"

Tsunade waved her hand: "I have the same view as Orochimaru. If the prophecy is useful, then you don't have to go to the Son of Prophecy. Anyway, wouldn't everything it said will happen?"

"Although I am an unfortunate person, I don't want to believe that fate cannot be changed. If that is the case, what is the meaning of life?"

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade in surprise: "Such philosophical words are really unlike what you said..."

"Smelly snake, what do you know!" Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru: "Compared to Jiraiya, an out-and-out idiot, you should be more careful..."

"I heard that you and Danzo Shimura have gotten involved recently, and the old man won't want to see this."

"As the future Fourth Hokage of the village, you still have to pay attention to your image. That old guy Danzo Shimura is not a good person. It is best to have less contact with him."

Before the third Ninja War started, Namikaze Minato was not the famous yellow flash. With Jiraiya wearing Myobokuyama's forehead protector and Tsunade fearing blood poisoning, throughout Konoha, Only Orochimaru has enough prestige, qualifications and status to become the fourth generation Hokage.

Hokage, a position that many ninjas in Konoha would never dream of, sitting at the small wine table where Sarutobi's class is sitting, seems as natural as discussing what to eat for lunch tomorrow...

"Hokage? It's just a boring position. I have to do what I want to do..." Orochimaru shook his head and whispered.

But it sounds like there is an inexplicable feeling of awkwardness...

As the sharp blade in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, Hatake Sakumoge, Orochimaru remembered his attitude towards him that day.

This shows that his teacher has begun to beat him.

For Orochimaru, who had seen Hashirama cells and started dark human experiments, the desire to pursue immortality deep in his heart had begun to burn, and it could not be restricted by Konoha.

Rather than being a stamping machine controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru would rather be a free Ninja to pursue his path to immortality...

"Don't talk about me for now, Tsunade, you seem to have gotten better recently, are you no longer wallowing in sorrow and pain..." Orochimaru squinted his eyes, looked at Tsunade for a few times, and said slowly .

Tsunade at this moment looked completely different from the drunken and drunken person she was a few months ago.

The whole person seemed to be alive, and there was light in his eyes.

Jiraiya nodded and followed Orochimaru's words: "I heard that the old man gave you his son and an Uchiha brat. It seems that you two get along well?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed. If Hiruzen Sarutobi supports him to become Hokage, then Qing Shui and Asuma's teacher should be him...

Choosing Tsunade to be the teacher of this special class does not mean that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted her to be Hokage.

After all, it is impossible for a village Kage to have such a weakness as hemophobia, but it is enough to reveal Sarutobi Hiruzen's inner thoughts: Orochimaru is no longer the next Hokage that Sarutobi Hiruzen firmly supports. Joined the ranks of inspections...

"Those kids are pretty good..."

A trace of tenderness appeared in Tsunade's eyes. The past few months of getting along with Qing Shui made her feel the fulfillment of life for a long time.

"It seems that you have some good students, Tsunade..."

Jiraiya laughed and boasted: "However, any young ninja will look mediocre compared with my student Namikaze Minato!"

"If you can't discipline the old man's son and the Uchiha kid, I can ask Minato to tell them what a real genius is!"

Orochimaru sighed silently, speechless at Jiraiya's stupidity.

Obviously, Tsunade got back on her feet because of those students...

At this time, instead of praising you, you brag about Namikaze Minato's talent. What do you want to express?

Make Tsunade think you are lucky? No wonder I can't catch up with him in my life!

Sure enough, Tsunade sneered: "Genius? Well, after I bring those brats to blood, let Namikaze Minato teach me a lesson..."

"gone!"

Tsunade stood up suddenly and left the tavern in a hurry.

Jiraiya stared blankly at Tsunade's leaving figure and scratched his head in confusion: "Orochimaru, why do I feel that Tsunade's mood is not right?"

Orochimaru slowly drank the remaining wine in the glass, stood up and walked towards the door:

"You don't have to think about this, Jiraiya, go find your son of prophecy. This is the whole meaning of your future life..."

Among the three people who were sitting together just now, Jiraiya was the only one left in the blink of an eye.

As they grow up, everyone has their own way of tolerance and pursuit, and the best partners in the past are gradually drifting away.

Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, the three people in Sarutobi's class are like toads, slugs and snakes. They are not the same species, so they chose different paths after all.

#

The next day.

The border of the Fire Nation.

"Little devils, there are hundreds of bandits in this valley..."

Tsunade folded her arms and gave the order ruthlessly: "Today's assessment is to completely eliminate these bandits, leaving no one behind!"

And this group of bandits, whom Tsunade used as a teaching material, had someone else targeting them...

At this moment, the strongest bounty hunter in the ninja world is entering the valley from another direction...
