BXBX NOVEL Chapter 499
Chapter 499
Sakumo and Kakashi rushed to the place where Naruto and Pain were fighting and found that Yamanaka Ryo was talking to a woman wearing Akatsuki clothes. There was also a person who looked similar to Tendo Pain standing beside the woman. There’s a person who was carried something wrapped in a white paper on his shoulder.
Kakashi frowned, stepped forward, and asked, “Ryo, has the Pain assault been resolved?”
Yamanaka Ryo nodded: “Oh, it’s over.”
“Ryo, both of them …”
“It’s my friend and the disciple of Uncle Jiraiya. Don’t worry.”
Although Kakashi was still in doubt, he didn’t say much.
Konan and Yahiko knew that they should leave after seeing Kakashi. Yahiko and Yamanaka Ryo waved and said, “Ryo, thank you for what you have done for so many years. Me, Konan, and Nagato will always be grateful.”
After that, the two turned and left together.
Yamanaka Ryo looked at their back that gradually became smaller and eventually disappeared outside Konoha. He was relieved.
Kakashi was looking around.
Hatake Sakumo was very strict to his son, and Kakashi’s current behavior made him a little dissatisfied, “Kakashi, what are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for sensei and Naruto. The battle with Pain is over. Both sensei and Naruto are involved, but why aren’t they here?”
“Sensei? Do you mean Minato? Is Minato back?!” Hatake Sakumo was surprised, then turned and looked at Yamanaka Ryo.
“Well, I had planned to take the opportunity of Pain assault on Konoha to bring Minato-nii back to the village and change the villagers’ views on Naruto… hence why I did not stop Akatsuki’s operation in advance.”
“…Ah. I used to think something was wrong because, at times like this, you and Shisui are not there. I never thought it was your plan. Where is Minato going?”
“Probably reunion with the family!” Yamanaka Ryo turned and looked towards Otogakure, smiling.
Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo smiled. “Is the family finally reunited? That’s good! Minato’s family has done so much for the Village for so many years.”
“Well, it’s time for me to go home and take a look. It’s been over a year since I left home.” Yamanaka Ryo’s silhouette disappeared.
……
At the same time, on Hokage Rock, Tsunade and Jiraiya stood side by side, Tsunade’s eyes were a little red, and Jiraiya was a little flustered.
After a while, Jiraiya clenched his teeth and then said to break the silence, “Tsunade, I’m back!”
Tsunade ignored Jiraiya. She was tense and continued to suppress her inner emotions.
Jiraiya saw this, sighed, and said to her, “Sorry, Tsunade! I made you worry. To be honest, I didn’t know it would become like this when I went to Amegakure. A village needs me as one of Sannin, so I should have stepped forward. This is the responsibility of being a Konoha Ninja and a man…
…Fortunately, I am back. When I left the Village before, I had something to say to you, but I was afraid that if I didn’t come back, I would leave trauma in your heart like I did when I was gone…
…But, do you want to be with me? ”
“Idiot! You are still an idiot as before! Try to be responsible all day, when can you think about someone who cares about you? Remember you said before that men become more aggrieved by women. Attractive man, you said? Don’t you like to play cool? Then I… ”
Tsunade’s words came to an abrupt halt, and Jiraiya’s expression became a little low. He already thought he would be rejected again, but he couldn’t help feeling sad when the moment came.
Jiraiya’s expression fell in Tsunade’s eyes, and Tsunade’s mouth raised slightly, saying, “…Then I will make you never act cool again.”
Jiraiya was stunned. He didn’t expect such a godly turn. After a while, Jiraiya recovered with a surprised look-at Tsunade and then dared to embrace Tsunade tightly.
.……
After each battle, trivial things are always very special. It has been three days since Akatsuki raided the Village. During these three days, Tsunade was annoyed by the piles of files on the desk. Fortunately, Shizune and Kakashi helped. Jiraiya was also silently accompanying, so Tsunade could barely calm down to deal with this trivial matter.
Days went fast, sitting at the desk all day, Tsunade felt her body was going to freeze.
……
After returning to Senju Clan, Jiraiya went to prepare dinner. Tsunade was lying on the sofa with a lifeless look.
“Are you so tired? I don’t think Old Codger and Minato have been like this before.”
“It’s easy for you to say, why don’t you try it? By the way, about your beloved pupil Minato, what do you say? Get him back to replace me as Hokage. I don’t want to do it anymore!” Tsunade said weakly.
“I said it before… changing Hokage so often is not good for the Village. You must be patient.”
“Now? How long?”
“5 … No, 3 years!”
“What? Impossible! I’ll wait for 3 days! I don’t care. If your beloved pupil does not return in 3 days, then Konoha will have no Hokage! And about ‘changing Hokage so often’, oh please, that day when he dropped from the sky to resolve the village crisis, you don’t know how loud the villagers are. Now my prestige of Hokage is not worth mentioning compared to him.”
Hearing this, Jiraiya also recalled the situation that day. It was indeed, as Tsunade said, that day he and Yamanaka Ryo heard the deafening shouts of villagers in space and time.
Jiraiya thought Tsunade’s proposal was quite good, and the two will have more time together after Tsunade stepped down.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya decided to help Tsunade, “Let’s go! Tsunade, tomorrow you will call the Leader of each clan and ask their opinions. If they agree, I will call Minato back.”
Hearing Jiraiya’s words, Tsunade nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s pretty much the same.”
……
Early the next morning, Tsunade summoned the Clan Leaders of Konoha’s Great Clan and proposed that Namikaze Minato return to be Hokage.
The Clan Leader looked at each other in dismay. They thought Tsunade’s proposal was too ridiculous, but no one dared to refute it.
After a moment of hesitation, everyone’s eyes looked towards the Third Hokage.
The third Hokage can only stand up and say, “I don’t have any opinion on this matter. Everyone knows Minato’s ability. I agree.”
The words of the Third Hokage startled the Clan Leaders, and Hyuga Hiashi on the side even directly discouraged, “Sandaime, are you sure about it? Tsunade-sama has only been in office for 2 years… It is not a good thing for the Village to change Hokage so frequently.”
