The disappearance of Scorpion caused a small storm in the Sand Village, and then became dull. Except for Chiyo, no one gradually cared about this matter.

After all, the disappearance of a genius is not a major event when the sky falls. Unfortunately, when the search is fruitless, it can only be added to the archives of the Ancient Ministry, waiting for a new clue to be found one day.

Of course, this kind of file will not be opened again under normal circumstances.

...

In other words, Konoha spent her 50th year safely under these unfair events.

In February of the 51st year, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas who had stayed in the Rain Kingdom since the end of the Third Ninja World War, returned to Konoha.

He stayed in the Rain Country for nearly three years, and only a few times during which he wrote to the village to tell the third generation of Naruto himself.

This time, he finally felt that Yahiko and Nagato could stand alone, so he left with confidence.

In fact, this sudden stay was very willful during the war. After he returned to the village, other senior officials also complained about it. Fortunately, the final result was that Konoha won the war. The third generation of Naruto Sarutobi is now in power, and the rest of them dare not make things difficult for Jirai.

In his original intention, Jiraiya did not want to stay for so long. At that time, he just saw Yahiko and Nagato being pitiful, so he wanted to stay for a while and returned to the battlefield after taking care of him for about a month or two. It was because he accidentally discovered Nagato's Reincarnation Eye that he changed his mind and believed that Nagato might be the legendary son of prophecy, so he stayed and taught carefully.

After all, for him, even if he helped Konoha win the war, it did not mean that real peace could come. However, the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal has the dawn of leading the world to true peace.

It was only after he came back that he learned about Tsunade leaving the village.

...

Bang!

In a tavern in Konoha, Jiraiya punched the table and looked at his friend in disbelief, "What did you say? Tsunade had a phobia and had left Konoha long ago?"

The tabletop trembled slightly, Orochimaru looked at him with a calm face and said in a unique hoarse voice: "That's right, shortly after the war, Tsunade learned that the Thousand-Armed clan had failed on the battlefield. Perhaps it was because of the blow that she suffered from phobia. After Lord Shui Ling died of illness, she left the village without any nostalgia."

"How could this happen!" Jiraiya fell to his seat, looking disbelief, and he asked Orochimaru in a deep voice, "Saru Sarutobi just watched her leave? What about you, as a friend, have you not tried to keep her?"

Orochimaru poured a cup of tea quietly and took a sip, then said lightly: "Jiraiya, you can't help but keep someone who really wants to leave. Mr. Sarutobi also has his pressure. In the senior management, some people don't want Tsunade to continue to stay in Konoha. Don't take everything too much."

Jiraiya was silent. After a while, he whispered embarrassedly: "Danzang? What's going on?"

Orochimaru sneered: "Jiraiya, I advise you not to continue exploring it. That will be of no benefit to anyone. We are no longer children. We should have recognized the so-called reality long ago. Tsunade's affairs are just a continuation of the Thousand Hand incident. She has a knot in her heart, and perhaps leaving is the best result."

"But...but..." Jiraiya still couldn't accept it, but she didn't know how to refute Orochimaru.

"Sir, please use the wine and meatballs you ordered slowly." At this time, the waiter of the tavern arrived, put down a bottle of sake and a plate of meatballs, and then retreated.

Jiraiya silently poured a big cup for himself and drank it in one sip. Orochimaru did not dip in wine, but drank his own tea on his own.

"It shouldn't be like this. Tsunade sacrificed her life for the village on the battlefield. She is also the granddaughter of the first Naruto. She shouldn't be treated like this. I'm going to find Mr. Sarutobi." After drinking half a pot of wine, Jiraiya felt drunk and said in a low voice.

Orochimaru is not only slightly lower, "It's useless. You should understand the key. You will not have any use when you find a teacher. Things are a foregone conclusion. Whether you are good at it, I can only accept it. This is the case in the village, and the same is true for this ninja world. According to what you said, in fact, all orphans in war should not become orphans, but in reality, either learn to accept it, or you become a Hokage yourself to change all this. Although I think, even if you become a Hokage, there will be no substantial changes."

"I know!" Jiraiya took a big sip of wine, and his eyes became more drunk, but I couldn't do so silent. "If there is no result this time, I will leave the village and not look for Tsunade, but travel to various countries and record what I saw and heard. I believe that in the future, there will definitely be someone who can truly change the world and bring real light to this world."

After he finished speaking, he drank the remaining wine in the kettle in one sip and stood up staggeringly.

"After all, it's hard to calm down!"

...

Looking at Jiraiya's departure, Orochimaru picked up a cup of tea and looked out the window. The breeze blew away the green fallen leaves, and the new generation of children were playing on the street.

"After all, it's hard to calm down!" A whispered, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth.

In the 51st year of Konoha, Jiraiya, who had just returned to the village, broke into the Naruto office after drinking and questioned the third generation of Naruto about Tsunade.

No one knew the details of it, because at the first moment, Sarutobi Hinata drowned everyone present.

The conversation lasted for about an hour, and then Mai Raya left with a sad expression. The next day, one of the legendary three ninjas, Jirai Ya, took her bag and left Konoha under the pretext of going out for materials.

All of this seems to be a trivial matter in the context of the times.

However, the major villages have been operating frequently in secret this year, and the personnel of the secret ministry are constantly active in the secret, investigating the information of other villages.

In a mysterious base somewhere in the Kingdom of Fire, a girl who seemed to be in her teenager threw a robe to the boy in front of her.

The boy, who was more beautiful than a girl, looked at the black background and red cloud suit in his hands, and subconsciously tightened his hands.
