Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

Chapter 38 Jiraiya’s Confusion

Tsunade and Naoki laughed for a while and finally calmed down their excitement.

After discussing with Orochimaru, they decided to go back to Konoha first. After all, the war in the Land of Rain was over, and they had to go back and report to the village.

No matter what happens to them in the future, the Hokage of Konoha is still Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the procedures that should be followed must still be followed.

Jiraiya, don't stand around like that. The fight is over. We should go!

Tsunade shouted, and seeing Jiraiya still standing there in a daze, she turned back to Jiraiya and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

After this battle with Sansho Hanzo, for some reason, Tsunade suddenly felt embarrassed to punch him from time to time like before.

Jiraiya felt Tsunade's movements and raised his head somewhat sluggishly, looking at Tsunade with confusion.

Tsunade.

Tsunade was stunned, wondering why Jiraiya suddenly became like this.

Jiraiya, what's wrong with you? Is the injury you suffered just now okay? I'll ask Naoki to treat you.

That boy is so powerful now. He uses Yang Dun to treat his injuries, which is more effective than my Palm Immortal Technique!

Jiraiya turned to look at the rope tree, the confusion in his eyes getting even worse.

Tsunade, I'm fine.

It's just that I suddenly don't know how to face Sarutobi-sensei. After all, he has taught us for so many years.

Tsunade's face suddenly became unhappy and she punched Jiraiya in the chest.

Hmph! Jiraiya, don't mention that old man to me!

He actually acquiesced to Danzo's attack on the rope tree, and also wanted you to trick the rope tree into getting back. I don't care about this kind of teacher!

Jiraiya clutched his chest and smiled bitterly.

Tsunade's punch wasn't too hard, it was just that she was used to hitting him before, so she subconsciously hit him when she got angry.

Tsunade, you may not understand how I feel.

I'm not like you and Orochimaru.

You are the princess of the Senju clan, and you are born and destined to become a strong person; Orochimaru is very talented, and he can learn everything instantly, so he doesn't need others to worry about him at all.

But I'm different.

When Jiraiya said this, there was a hint of disappointment on his face.

I'm just an ordinary civilian boy with average talent and a simple mind.

Without Sarutobi-sensei's teachings, I wouldn't have been able to stand by your two sides, let alone have the strength I have now.

Jiraiya glanced at the rope tree walking away and suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile.

Although this little strength is nothing.

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and suddenly lost her temper. She punched Jiraiya on the head and knocked him to the ground.

You stupid!

You and Orochimaru are my best friends. Who dares to say that you are ordinary?

Besides, he taught you, and my second grandfather also taught him! At most, we can be even with him.

And the second grandfather even gave him the position of Hokage. In turn, he still owes me!

Jiraiya covered his face and stood up. Although his face hurt a little, his heart was filled with tears and he almost shed tears.

Tsunade, thank you! But

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, the rope tree in the distance saw that the two people did not follow, and there seemed to be some disputes. A sudden appearance came to the two of them, interrupting Jiraiya's words.

Brother Jiraiya, sister, why are you arguing?

Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya.

It's all this idiot who makes me so angry! Humph!

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily, flicking the single ponytail tied high on his head.

Naoki looked at Jiraiya and probably guessed something.

Brother Jiraiya, is it because of the Third Hokage?

Jiraiya nodded, looking with a complicated expression at the young man who had followed him since childhood, and now he has become a strong man that he needs to look up to.

Nawaki, I apologize to you on behalf of Sarutobi-sensei! I'm sorry!

Naoshu shook his head.

Brother Jiraiya, it's not your fault!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is different from you. He has been fascinated by the Hokage's position. He has forgotten that the will of fire is Konoha's will, not his Sarutobi Hiruzen's will.

But you are different. You are destined to become a great being in the future. He only deserves to lie in a decaying tomb and look up at your future figure.

Jiraiya looked at the rope tree in surprise, not expecting that he would give him such a high evaluation.

The confusion in Jiraiya's eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and he said with a self-deprecating smile on his face:

Naoki, Brother Jiraiya knows that you are very strong now, but you can't make fun of me with this, right?

Naoki shook his head, denying Jiraiya's words.

No! When I say greatness, I don't mean your strength!

There are many ninjas who are stronger than you in the ninja world, but few are worthy of the word great.

Your greatness lies in your forbearance and your thoughts.

Isn't the belief in running for peace the way of tolerance that you will carry out throughout your life?

Jiraiya was shocked and looked at the rope tree in disbelief.

Everything he did, under the guidance of the Great Toad Immortal, was for that great goal.

Although he didn't tell anyone, everything he did was to find the prophesied savior who could bring peace to the ninja world.

But how did Rope Tree know?

How do you know? Have you also heard the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal? Do you know that the son of the prophecy will be my disciple?

As soon as Jiraiya asked the question, he knew that he had been stupid again.

The rope tree obviously signed a psychic contract with Ryūchi Cave. With the relationship between the two holy places, how could the rope tree go to Miaomu Mountain to see the Great Toad Immortal?

Naoshu shook his head and pointed at his eyes.

My eyes have seen your future!

Jiraiya looked happy, quickly took Naoki's arm, and asked eagerly:

Naoki, what is my future? Have I really accepted the savior of the ninja world as my disciple?

Also, is my future self married? Is it Tsunade?

Naoki's face darkened as he looked at Jiraiya who had returned to his original form.

Is this guy just pretending to be like this? Is this what my sister is thinking about?

Naoki glared at Jiraiya with a straight face and shook his hand away.

Hmph! I don't know!

Go and ask the toad!

Jiraiya licked his face and turned to Naoki, laughing along with him.

Rose Tree, just tell me!
