Chapter 203: Naruto's "Dark Side", The Standoff of the Sannin Konohagakure! Orochimaru's

"Immortal" Idea.

Aside from the real passersby, four special people stood in front of Tsunade.

Among them, there were three people she couldn't recognize,

And one person she would recognize even if he turned to ashes.

Jiraiya, with his lewd smile, was so annoying in Tsunade's eyes that she wished she could punch him.

Tsunade also saw Konan, dressed conservatively. This strange ninja from Amegakure Village caught her eye.

Then, she saw Yakushi Kabuto, a seemingly ordinary young man on the surface.

But Tsunade always felt that this young man was not that simple.

Perhaps, this was the intuition of being one of the Sannin?

Finally... Tsunade's gaze fell on Orochimaru.

However, she didn't recognize him as Orochimaru, she only knew that this was a woman with a rather pale complexion and a very curvaceous figure.

The woman's chest was large, probably no less than her own.

Tsunade's mind instantly played out a drama.

..... A well-figured young woman, with her child, strolling through the village of Konohagakure. During which, a lewd Jiraiya came out wanting to harass this young woman. Then, during this process, a rain ninja happened to pass by, watching the disgraceful scene of one of the Three Ninja of Konohagakure.

"Tsu, Tsu, Tsunade!!!"

At the same time, Jiraiya was shocked to the point of being dumbfounded.

Although Tsunade appeared in the form of a young girl, how could Jiraiya, who grew up with Tsunade, not recognize the young Tsunade?

Especially the pendant that Tsunade was wearing.

This pendant made him 100% sure that this was Tsunade.

How could she be in Konohagakure?

Huh?

Wait!

Jiraiya's face changed!

"Oh no....."

Damn, it seems like his pursuit of a strange woman was caught by Tsunade, his image in Tsunade's heart wouldn't collapse, would it?

Jiraiya has always had a crush on Tsunade.

He even pursued her several times, but was rejected.

Jiraiya thought he was very pure, he remained unmarried all his life, just waiting for the day when Tsunade would fall in love with him.

In fact, his "purity" should be put in quotation marks.

An old man who goes to drink, visit brothels, and date girls.

Even if he remains unmarried all his life.

It has nothing to do with the word pure.

That's why Jiraiya was so flustered when he saw Tsunade.

His not so "pure" side was discovered by the object of his affection.

Could Jiraiya not be flustered?

'How could she be in Konohagakure?' Orochimaru looked at the shocked Jiraiya, then at the stunned young girl Tsunade.

Even Orochimaru felt that this scene was too dramatic.

The gears of fate began to turn.

Letting the three of them meet again?

This could be considered a reunion of old classmates, right?

"Hehe, interesting, Tsunade and Jiraiya can't recognize me, but they recognize each other."

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly.

A wicked interest suddenly surged within him.

"Jiraiya sama," Orochimaru suddenly said, "Please forgive my rudeness just now. I was just so shocked by your sudden confession that I blurted out some hurtful words without thinking."

Jiraiya's face changed.

Stop, stop talking!

He quickly made faces at "Hebihime Sakura", trying to convey his intentions through his eyes.

Orochimaru revealed a faint smile, perfectly capturing a bit of shyness, a bit of coyness, and a bit of charm, "I also saw Jiraiya sama's majestic eagle in the bathhouse just now. It's... it's even more magnificent than my husband!"

"You just invited me to drink under the moon tonight, it's not impossible... but, but we just met today, we just learned each other's names, isn't this progress too fast? Indeed, Jiraiya sama is worthy of being one of the Sannin."

"But, we have to hide it from my husband! He is a ninja from Konohagakure, who lost both legs while carrying out a mission a while ago, and was hailed as a hero of Konohagakure by Hokage sama."

"If my husband knew that we were going to meet tonight, there might be a problem! But if..."

Orochimaru paused, his words becoming more and more outrageous, "But if Jiraiya sama has a peculiar taste, you might be able to tie my husband to our side, and then we can do it... in front of him..."

Jiraiya was frantic, his eyelids twitching from all the winking.

Who would have thought that the girl who had just firmly rejected him...

Would suddenly say such outrageous words!

And she said all this in front of Tsunade.

Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded!

For some reason.

Jiraiya found that ever since he started running back to Konohagakure to investigate the Akatsuki organization, things have always been going wrong.

Could it be that the "Akatsuki" is at odds with him?

And Tsunade on the side had already heard her face gradually turning black.

"Jiraiya!!!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, "You bathhouse peeping bastard, you actually hooked up with a married woman in Konohagakure! The other party's husband is still a hero ninja of Konohagakure, you bastard, do you have any shame or morality!?"

Jiraiya was dumbfounded.

He quickly waved his hands, "Mis, misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! I, I..."

But at this time, Jiraiya didn't know how to defend himself.

Could it be that the husband of this Hebihime Sakura is really a hero ninja of Konohagakure?

Eh! That's not right!

Didn't Naruto say that Hebihime Sakura is Sasuke's relative, and she is still single?

Is Hebihime Sakura lying?

Or is Naruto lying?

Jiraiya was stunned.

His brain was overloaded.

"Misunderstanding? There's a witness right here, and you still want to argue?" Tsunade frowned and snorted coldly, "Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konohagakure, ran back to Konohagakure to hook up with a married woman. After so many years, you've really learned a lot! Could it be that you learned it from that old man?"

"Shh, shh, shh..." Hearing Tsunade getting louder and louder, Jiraiya noticed that some passersby had gathered nearby, he quickly signaled for Tsunade to lower her voice.

Otherwise, his reputation as Jiraiya would be ruined today!

Jiraiya didn't want to end up as unlucky as the old man!

With a face full of grievances, he said, "This really is a misunderstanding, I really didn't know that Hebihime Princess Sakura has a husband."

"Hmph!" Tsunade crossed her arms in disappointment, "If you had the courage to admit it, maybe I would have thought better of you."

"Rea... really a misunderstanding!" Jiraiya was on the verge of tears, "I'm really wronged!"

"Tch, I don't believe it." Tsunade toyed with the debt note in her hand.

Her eyes flickered, "To prevent Jiraiya from continuing to flirt with married women, it seems I need to spread his behavior throughout Konohagakure. Let the young girls and married women of Konohagakure be on guard against this guy."

"No, no.....!" Jiraiya's face changed as if he were a pig's liver, "Please don't do this!"

These days, Jiraiya was very clear about the power of public opinion.

Even the old man couldn't stand all kinds of rumors.

Jiraiya didn't think he could bear it.

In fact, he was also a little guilty, after all, he did often go out to drink and flirt with unsavory women.

It was because of Jiraiya's guilt.

That he didn't know how to defend himself.

"Hehe..." Tsunade smirked, for some reason, Jiraiya thought this smile was a bit like Naruto's.

Tsunade said, "Jiraiya, we are old classmates, and even old comrades in arms. Do you want me to keep this secret? Do you want to keep your reputation?"

Jiraiya knew that he was being held by Tsunade today.

But there was no way.

He could only nod like a pecking chicken.

"Cough!" Tsunade slapped the note in her hand on Jiraiya: "As long as you help me pay this back, I guarantee that I didn't see anything just now, and I don't remember anything."

Jiraiya quickly grabbed the note.

Then he looked at the text on it.

"Casino debt note? Wait! How much? 1.....10 million ryo!"

Jiraiya shouted in shock.

"Yes, 10 million ryo, this note is given to you!" 

Tsunade said with peace of mind.

Jiraiya: "....."

"Huh? Why is the lewd old man still here?" At this moment, Naruto's voice came from not far away, "Aren't you going to chase Sasuke's beautiful relative... Oh! So Sasuke's beautiful relative is also here!"

The voice of the "culprit" made Orochimaru and Jiraiya both instantly lock their eyes on Naruto.

Orochimaru squinted his eyes.

He knew he had been played by Uzumaki Naruto, this little brat.

The smile on this little brat's face looked very sunny, but the little brat's heart was very cunning.

In a few words, he made him and Jiraiya look like this.

He really is a pirate!

"Naruto!" Jiraiya was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, he felt that Naruto had to carry at least half of this sin, "Didn't you say that Hebihime Sakura is single? But Hebihime Princess Sakura said she has a husband, her husband is a hero of Konohagakure, her husband even lost his legs for Konohagakure!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, the more he said, the more he felt that Naruto had to carry more than half of this black pot, Naruto had to carry all of it, "You little brats! I was almost ruined by you!"

"Although 'my relative' here is indeed a lie, but....

'Orochimaru' is indeed single, right?" Sasuke tucked his hands in his pockets, his mouth hooked up in a cool way, "Right, Naruto?"

Orochimaru: "....."

Yakushi Kabuto: "....."

Naruto grinned, "Yeah! We didn't lie to you about this, 'Orochimaru' is indeed single, lewd old man!"

Konan: "....."

Tsunade: "??"

"Huh? She is indeed single?" Jiraiya muttered, "Could it be.....

that Hebihime Sakura lied to me?"

Jiraiya felt like a ball being kicked around.

Could it be because he had a little drink this morning?

Did it make his brain a bit too slow?

"Hmm? Wait!" Jiraiya was suddenly startled, "You little brats, what did you just say?!"

Tsunade had already ignored this fool, Jiraiya.

She was staring at the "Hebihime Sakura" in front of her.

Yakushi Kabuto's gaze was quietly wandering around, he was looking for a suitable escape route for Orochimaru sama.

Konan silently took a few steps forward.

To avoid getting involved in a dispute between the Sannin.

And to prevent Orochimaru from selling her out at a critical moment. If this bastard Orochimaru exposed her identity...

Then it wouldn't just be Orochimaru who was surrounded.

She would probably be surrounded too.

Haku laughed, "We just said that Orochimaru is indeed single!

Perverted old man, did you hear that clearly?"

Jiraiya: "???"

Jiraiya: "!!"

He and Tsunade both instantly locked their gazes on Orochimaru.

".....Hehe, I've been played by these three little brats again!" Orochimaru's eyes were a bit gloomy, he didn't expect these three little brats to expose his identity.

Damn it, what is the purpose of these three little devils?

Don't they want that ransom?

Orochimaru decisively reached out and grabbed Yakushi Kabuto's throat. A tongue instantly stretched out from his mouth, the tip of the tongue, unknowingly wrapped around a Kunai.

The Kunai was already against Yakushi Kabuto's neck.

"Don't move..." Orochimaru threatened Tsunade and Jiraiya while also helping Yakushi Kabuto hide his identity, his smile was a bit hoarse, "It's not easy to come back to Konohagakure once, how could I not take a hostage in advance?"

"Orochimaru! It's really you!" Jiraiya's eyes widened.

At the same time, he was instantly on alert, ready to take action at any time.

The Orochimaru that he had been searching for for many years...

Just appeared in front of him like this?

Speaking of which, how did those three little devils know Orochimaru's identity?

Even he, Jiraiya, couldn't see it!

"...Why are you in Konohagakure?" Tsunade didn't have too much resentment towards Orochimaru. Although she was very surprised, she didn't react as much as Jiraiya.

"Hehe, if you all can return to Konohagakure, why can't I return once?" Orochimaru said.

At this moment, Orochimaru wanted to kill those three little devils.

He knew that the situation was passive.

Today, it would be difficult to take Kimimaro out of Konohagakure village.

"Orochimaru, although I don't know why you appeared in Konohagakure, but since you are here." Jiraiya straightened his face, casting aside the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, "I think you should stay in the village, you have done so many wrong things, you should stay in Konohagakure prison and reflect on your second half of life."

Jiraiya spoke solemnly, "Orochimaru... heed my advice, let the child go! Although I don't know the child's name, I believe he shouldn't be involved in our dispute, and you shouldn't drag innocent people into it."

"Hehe, such a strong sense of friendship!" Orochimaru chuckled lightly, his words were either sarcastic or emotional, "Everything I've done, it wouldn't be too much to kill me. Yet you bluntly suggest that I spend the rest of my life in Konohagakure prison, it seems you want to spare my life, don't you?"

"As for letting him go? That won't do!" Orochimaru's tongue coiled around the tip of the kunai, which had already pierced Yakushi Kabuto's neck.

Although it only broke a bit of skin, blood still flowed out.

"Help, help me..." Yakushi Kabuto cooperatively welled up tears, his face full of fear.

His body was also shivering.

His acting skills were maxed out.

Jiraiya kept a straight face, not speaking. He was indeed the most emotional one among the Three Ninja.

Over the years, he tracked Orochimaru, not to kill Orochimaru, but to bring Orochimaru back to the village.

"Tsunade, you block Orochimaru's retreat!"

Jiraiya said gravely, "We absolutely can't let him escape!"

"Hmm?" Jiraiya was taken aback, "Tsunade?"

Because he was surprised to find that Tsunade in her young girl form was indifferent.

The surprise on Tsunade's face had receded.

She crossed her arms over her chest and casually replied, "What does your dispute have to do with me? I've long decided not to get involved in the conflicts between ninjas, don't drag me into it, just pretend I don't exist."

Jiraiya: "....."

"Hehe, two against one, has become one on one." There wasn't much fluctuation on Orochimaru's face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Because Orochimaru was very clear that under the circumstances of two against one, he absolutely couldn't be the opponent of two people.

Jiraiya had a headache.

One Orochimaru was a renegade ninja of Konohagakure village, and one Tsunade no longer wanted to ask about ninja matters... why were his two teammates, one more eccentric than the other?

"Jiraiya, you wouldn't want to do it in Konohagakure village, would you?"

Orochimaru suddenly said, "If I summon Manda, do you know how many people wold die? Dozens of people? Or hundreds of people?"

Orochimaru hooked the corner of his mouth, "If you use a ninjutsu on me, I dodge this ninjutsu, and this ninjutsu falls somewhere else. Do you think, how many civilians will die because of your ninjutsu?"

"Not to mention, your nose and ribs haven't healed yet, right? Hehe, do you think, can you keep me here by yourself?"

Jiraiya: "....."

In just a few short sentences, he hit Jiraiya's weak point.

This street is a very bustling street in Konohagakure village.

If he and Orochimaru started a fight at this location.

By then, the civilians involved would be no less than hundreds!

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, he asked angrily, "Orochimaru, what exactly have you been doing these recent years? Why did you hurt so many people back then? You're also a person of Konohagakure village, why would you do this?"

"A person's life has its limits, you fool, Jiraiya!"

Orochimaru said with a composed smile, "Human life is ultimately too fragile, what I pursue is different from all of you. If one day, human life could achieve eternity, there would be no more death, and so many tragedies would not occur."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade.

Not just recalling some old friend in his memory, a few veins popped up on the back of his hand, but they quickly disappeared.

"To achieve my goal, what does sacrificing a few people matter?" Orochimaru said, "If one day I can succeed, those who were used by me, they will only thank me. Because, it is their constant sacrifice that completely rewrote the 'chapter of life', leading the ninja world into a new era!"

".....Orochimaru, you've gone mad!" Jiraiya clenched his fists, wanting to correct the twisted views of his friend.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a childish voice interjected.

"You said, your goal.....is to make life eternal?"

Naruto found Orochimaru more pleasing to the eye.

Because Pops was getting old.

Although Tsunade's surgery had restored Pops to his peak state, no matter how powerful the surgery was, it couldn't make Pops young again.

But today.

Orochimaru's words sparked a glimmer of different colors in Naruto's eyes.

In the ninja world, is there a way to make Pops live longer? Or make Pops younger?

Naruto felt that Orochimaru in front of him seemed like a breakthrough.

No one wanted Pops to be healthy more than he did.

Naruto hoped that Pops would see him ascend to the position of Hokage with his own eyes.
