RoU Chapter 116: Tsunade decides to return to Konoha
🕑 Added 2023-11-27 18:20:41 +0000 UTCJiraiya looked confused and could only ask: "Whose child is this?"
"It's mine. Do you have a problem with that?" Tsunade's face was filled with killing intent, her fist clenched tightly, as if it was about to strike at any moment.
"No, what I meant was, who is the child's father..." Jiraiya quickly interjected. "Who is it?"
"It just can't be..." Jiraiya silently swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with disappointment. "... Orochimaru."
Tsunade was silent for a moment due to Jiraiya's nonsense.
But seeing Tsunade's lack of response, Jiraiya seemed to have gotten his answer.
"So it really is him... I guess it makes sense. Orochimaru had so many girls who liked him back then, and in the end, you became one of them..."
Jiraiya looked lost and lifeless, his eyes devoid of spirit. "When did they get together? Why didn't I know anything about it?"
"And you two didn't even send me an invitation?"
He forced a bitter smile, his expression complicated. "Well, I guess it's for the best. Even if you did send me an invitation, it would only make me feel uncomfortable..."
[Bang!]
Tsunade couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Jiraiya across the face.
"It has nothing to do with Orochimaru!" Tsunade trembled with anger. "It's a detestable brat..."
Thinking back to what happened in the past, Tsunade's hatred surged within her.
"A brat? Tsunade, are you a cradle stealer? It turns out that women, just like men, also like inexperienced young men..."
[Bang!]
Jiraiya was thrown backwards, flying more than ten meters before landing with a painful cry and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Perhaps because the sound was too loud, it disturbed the child.
The child burst into tears, causing the new mother Tsunade to panic. Shizune, who was beside her, also became flustered. They had to sing and play with toys, exerting a lot of effort to calm the child down.
However, it seemed that Jiraiya had finally snapped out of his own fantasies. He quickly noticed Tsunade's resistance towards the child's father.
'Yes, resistance.' Jiraiya thought. 'Resistance is good! But was it just a result of drunkenness or was she under the influence of something?'
Jiraiya didn't dare to ask.
He decisively returned to the topic he came looking for her for: "Tsunade, the village hopes that you can return and take on the role of the Fifth Hokage."
"The village's situation is very unfavorable now. Kumogakure and Sunagakure have already launched an attack on Konoha. We don't know when the other two countries will make a move. Tsunade, the village needs you!"
Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but finally answered: "I understand. I will return to the village... I will also consider the position of Hokage."
"I know you still have reservations about the village, but now that our teacher has passed away, what else is holding you back?" Jiraiya said seriously. "This village was established by your grandfather. Don't you want to protect it?"
"You're the granddaughter of the First Hokage, huh? You… Hmm? You're willing to return to the village?" Jiraiya widened his eyes in shock.
Tsunade was very resistant to the village. Although there was no direct evidence, the death of Nawaki and the numerous internal conflicts made her bluntly refer to the Hokage as 'dog shit'.
He remembers a few years ago when he occasionally met Tsunade, she was still drunk and said that only fools would want to be Hokage. So why is she willing to return to the village now?
"Actually, Jiraiya-sama, even if you didn't say anything, we were planning to return to the village." Shizune said helplessly beside them. "Taking care of a child is really difficult. Tsunade-sama and I have no idea how to do it."
When it comes to delivering babies, they are both top-notch. The problem of children getting sick is nothing to them. But the child is just too difficult to soothe!
Shizune still remembers that at the beginning, they didn't know how to use diapers, which made the child uncomfortable.
The child cried loudly, and even after Tsunade-sama tried to soothe her for a long time, she couldn't figure out the root of the problem. She tried countless methods but couldn't solve it. In the end, she got annoyed and handed the child over to Shizune. Tsunade then went straight to defeat a group of bandits to vent her frustration.
Soothing a child is much harder than killing Jiraiya!
This phrase has almost become Tsunade's catchphrase.
By the way, not being able to take care of the child is only one of the reasons they returned to Konoha. The other is that Tsunade decided to confront Natsuo and at least hopes that her daughter can grow up in a better place, instead of wandering with her and having to constantly protect herself from attacks from wandering shinobi or shinobi from other villages.
Shizune silently glanced at Jiraiya and couldn't help but say that Jiraiya's timing was perfect.
Because Tsunade-sama doesn't want to have anything to do with Natsuo and with the excuse of being busy with the Hokage's duties, she could ask a specialized nanny for help.
It was also difficult for her to convince Tsunade that she will face Natsuo and her past in Konoha just with the excuse of: 'Lady Tsunade, this is your own daughter and making her suffer with you is not good for the child...
"Um... is that so?" Jiraiya said. "That's quite a coincidence..."
After all, they were teammates. After listening to a few words from Shizune, he understood Tsunade's state of mind. However, although Tsunade decided to return to the village, whether or not she would become Hokage was another matter.
So Jiraiya took advantage of the situation and said: "Don't worry, Tsunade. The Konoha Shinobi will absolutely welcome you. Many people are looking forward to me bringing you back to the village. Konoha cannot lose Tsunade, just like people cannot lose the sun!"
"Although the village is facing some difficulties now, the workload may be greater, but there are also many rising stars among the Konoha Shinobi who can completely share the work with you!"
Without further ado, he began to persuade.
"For example, Neji, the genius ninja of the Hyūga clan, who is only twelve years old but possesses Jōnin-level strength."
"Kakashi is reliable and capable, with outstanding abilities. He is the perfect candidate for the position of Hokage's assistant."
"And then there's the Uchiha clan leader, Natsuo. He has been hiding his true strength all this time, and now he has revealed, shocking everyone."
"Wait...!" Tsunade suddenly looked up, her eyes sharp. "Who did you say has been hiding his power?"
"Um, it's Uchiha Natsuo." Jiraiya hesitated and saying: "Honestly, no one in Konoha Village ever thought he would be this strong, considering he was known as the weakest Jōnin in history."
"He spends his days either with his wives or marrying more wives. Such an enviable life... Cough... I mean, a life that leads to ruin. How can he have time to train?""
"But when Konoha was under attack, he single-handedly stopped Shukaku's attack, instantly surprising countless people."
"When the news of his achievements came out, others thought it was a mistake! They had to verify the information repeatedly before confirming its authenticity."
Many people know about Natsuo's life. After all, the fact that he has so many wives and how he spends his nights has piqued people's curiosity.
And Natsuo's wives satisfied everyone's curiosity, openly stating, "Of course, we take turns. How could one person defeat Natsuo?"
Then there was talk of a fierce battle lasting a day, with Natsuo taking on seven opponents.
A cold light flashed, and an hour later, a billion elite soldiers surged forward. Infinite power, making the enemy's limbs go weak, filled with awe.
This is simply something that men fear, and women tighten their legs in response to, a formidable fighting force!
Many men wondered how on earth he can have so much strength when he is busy with his wives every day.
Seeing this, women even took Natsuo's achievements to confront their own husbands. Natsuo fights hard every night and still improves his strength, while you only do normal work. Why are you too tired to provide for the family at night? Stop pretending to be dead! Get up quickly for me!
This is really...
The men of Konoha have suffered from Natsuo's hardships for a long time.
'It seems that Natsuo is no longer hiding his strength.' Tsunade and Shizune thought at the same time.
One way or another Tsunade had decided to return to Konoha so sooner or later she was going to face that guy, so she told Shizune to pack her things and they would return to Jiraiya.
