I, The Great Swordsman Of The Ninja World

In a tavern.

"Serve as much wine as you want!" A bold female voice echoed through the tavern.

Everyone in the tavern looked at the place where the sound came from in astonishment. What caught their eyes was a blond woman with twin ponytails. She had a cute face, a very hot figure, but a heroic and heroic temperament.

In front of everyone's shocked eyes, Tsunade picked up a bucket of wine and drank boldly. This scene made everyone shiver.

Isn't this woman very good at drinking?

She has already drank several buckets and she is still drinking. And what is her stomach made of? How can he pretend so well.

Shizune looked at Tsunade who was drinking heavily, frowned slightly, and scolded with a stern face, "Tsunade-sama, please stop drinking!"

Although Tsunade usually drinks, he always drinks in small sips. He doesn't directly pick up the barrel and drink like water.

Even if he drinks water, he doesn't drink it like Tsunade.

"Don't worry about me, I'm going to get drunk today." Tsunade took a big sip of wine, raised his little hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, looked at Shizune with a red face, and said: "Jing... Shizune, you should drink some too, You can forget all your worries after drinking too much.”

"You... Ouch." Shizune finally sighed, not stopping Tsunade from continuing to drink.

If drinking too much can really make you forget your worries, that would be a good thing, right?

"Hey, Tsunade." A magnetic voice sounded.

"This sound..." Tsunade frowned slightly, turning his head to look at the man who walked into the tavern with blurred vision, and gradually he could see the man's face clearly.

The man was probably middle-aged, with long white hair like a hedgehog, and red tear stains on his resolute face.

The forehead protector on his forehead has the word "oil" written on it. He is wearing a red coat with brown clothes underneath.

Jiraiya!

How come he is here?

Tsunade looked away, took a sip of wine, and sighed, "No wonder I won the bet. I was unlucky enough today."

First Uchiha Qiu, then Jiraiya.

The reason why Jiraiya came to him must be because he had something important to discuss.

I am so unlucky today!

"Don't say that, we are old friends after all." Jiraiya sat carelessly opposite Tsunade, glanced at the few wine barrels on the ground, frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. Your drinking capacity has increased." Jiraiya picked up a piece of dried fish and put it in his mouth. He took a deep look at Tsunade and said to himself, "Or...what's bothering me? What happened?"

As soon as he arrived at Feng Mo Town with the investigation team, he saw the completely destroyed streets.

In this town, the person with such powerful power should be Tsunade.

So Jiraiya walked along the street, looking for a tavern, and finally found Tsunade here.

And the destroyed streets were enough to prove who Tsunade had just fought against.

"Meet..."

Shizune knew that Jiraiya was a trustworthy person, so he planned to tell the reason, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tsunade.

"Is there anything else worth worrying about now?" Tsunade's amber eyes flashed with panic, but on the surface he smiled calmly.

"I'm just in a good mood and want to drink more. Is there something wrong?"

Tsunade had no intention of telling anything about Uchiha Qiu, it was her own business, and there was no need for Jiraiya to be involved in this mess.

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune looked worried and gently stroked the pink pig sitting on his lap.

Tsunade-sama, are you going to carry such a heavy thing alone?

It should be better if you discuss it with Jiraiya-sama, right?

Although he thought so, Shizune respected Tsunade's decision, so he sat quietly next to Tsunade without saying a word.

Jiraiya took out the playing cards and said with a smile: "Want to take a gamble?"

He could tell that Tsunade had something on his mind, something serious at that.

But since Tsunade went out of his way to conceal it, he didn't tell him clearly.

Continuing to ask about such things would only make Tsunade angry.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Tsunade took the playing cards with a hint of irritation in his eyes.

Damn it, why is my gambling luck so good today? All the cards in my hand are the best!

"The village was destroyed, and the Third Generation, Orochimaru, and Danzo were killed in the battle. Have you heard about this news?" Jiraiya looked at the cards in his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. Why are they all the smallest cards?

My luck is so bad, could anything happen?

"Of course I have heard of it. As for whether Orochimaru can really die?" Tsunade said, "This seems to be the work of a person named Uchiha Qiu, right?"

"Uchiha has been causing trouble since grandpa's time." Tsunade said calmly.

"The village has been damaged, and the ninjas don't have much fighting spirit. A new leader is needed to rebuild the village." Jiraiya played the last small card in his hand, and then sighed silently.

"What a bad luck today."

"I actually won again." Tsunade bit her silver teeth, feeling increasingly anxious.

I actually won two bets in a row today!

Winning my first bet allowed me to meet Uchiha Qiu.

But if he wins the second bet...could something else happen, something more dangerous?

Jiraiya took a sip of wine and said meaningfully, "You are so lucky."

If Tsunade can win the bet, it means that his luck will be extremely bad.

"Let's get down to business." Tsunade said solemnly.

Jiraiya put away his smile, looked at Tsunade with a serious expression, and said in a low voice, "Come back to the village with me, you are the most suitable person to become the Fifth Hokage."

"You have enough strength and reputation, and you are the granddaughter of the First Hokage. You can become a new pillar of the village." Jiraiya said seriously.

He really couldn't imagine anyone more suitable to be a Hokage than Tsunade.

Shizune nodded and looked at Tsunade expectantly, his gaze seemed to say something.

[Tsunade-sama, please return to the village and become a Hokage. ]

Compared to Uchiha Qiu, the latter's proposal is obviously better. Go back to the village and be a Hokage, and then beat Uchiha Qiu to death!

"Hokage..." Tsunade held the necklace and recalled the smiles of Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki.

It was their dream to become Hokage, but in the end... they all died without fulfilling their dream.

"Only a fool would want to be a Hokage. My life is pretty good now and I have no interest in participating in the disputes between your villages." Tsunade showed a sarcastic smile.

This smile seemed to be mocking Jiraiya, and also seemed to be mocking himself.

"Just be yourself." Tsunade stood up and grabbed Shizune's hand, "Shizune, let's go."

"Are you going to watch the village founded by the First Hokage disappear?" Jiraiya said in a deep voice without stopping Tsunade from leaving.

"Hokage is the inheritance of dreams. If you can inherit their dreams and become Hokage, they will also be very happy, right?"

The people Jiraiya is referring to are naturally Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade paused slightly, and the voices of Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki seemed to ring in his ears.

[Becoming a Hokage is my dream. ]

[Even if it means dying to protect the village, I will do my best! ]

The words these two people said in the past echoed in Tsunade's ears.

"Becoming a Hokage...is your dream." Tsunade held the necklace, his eyes gradually turning red.

"Think about it, I'll come back to you tomorrow." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's condition and sighed secretly.

It’s been so long, do you still like Kato Dan?

It seemed...that I was completely out of luck.

"Let's go." Tsunade's voice sounded like he was crying, his hands were trembling, and he walked out of the tavern step by step.

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune wanted to say something, but she swallowed all the words of comfort that came to her lips.

Even she knew that Tsunade had to make a choice.

Working with Uchiha Qiu, meeting Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki.

Or return to the village and become Hokage to protect their dreams,

It's a choice, one that must be made by Tsunade himself.

"We'll leave first." Shizune turned around, saluted Jiraiya, and quickly chased after Tsunade.

"I hope you won't be an enemy of the village, otherwise even if it were you, I would..." Jiraiya took a deep look at Tsunade's retreating figure.
