Although Nangong Zhe has been in Wood leaf for a long time, he's not the kind of person who likes to go out with others. Except for some famous commercial streets in Wood leaf, Nangong Zhe is familiar with, he only knows the general location of other places. This may be one of the reasons why Nangong Zhe doesn't have a wide range of friends in Wood leaf.
The map that Watergate gave to Nangong Zhe basically marked all the large and small pubs and baths in Wood leaf. As a village with a large population, there are a lot of such entertainment places. Maybe Nangong Zhe's luck isn't so good, but he didn't find Jiraiya even after walking half a circle around Wood leaf.
Nangong Zhe also felt a little tired, so he casually sat on a bench on the side of the road and prepared to sit down and rest. Looking at the pedestrians in front of him and the surrounding green trees and fragrant grass, Nangong Zhe suddenly felt very comfortable. Originally, Nan Gongzhe still cared about the mission and some other troublesome matters, but now, he temporarily pushed them out of his mind.
"Forget it … Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. According to my speculation, Orochimaru's plan should be at least in the second half of the Chunin Exam. At that time, all the important people will gather. This is the best time to act. Now, even if I find Jiraiya, with Orochimaru's hiding method, it won't be easy for anyone to find him, right? "
Perhaps because he convinced himself, Nangong Zhe also took out the Azure Jade Gourd that has been hanging on his back, opened the cork, and began to drink slowly.
The Azure Jade Gourd contains the lost Drunken Immortal Wine. The Drunken Immortal Wine that originally came from the Banishment Elder has been consumed by Nangong Zhe. Under the urging of the Liquor Worm in his stomach, Nangong Zhe has been staring at Aoki Jar after dealing with the affairs in the Blood-Cloak Pavilion, hoping that Aoki Jar can make the Drunken Immortal Wine. After referring to many ancient books in the Blood-Cloak Pavilion, he finally made a wine similar to the Drunken Immortal Wine.
As soon as the cork was opened, the fragrance of the wine directly floated out of the Azure Jade Gourd. Unlike ordinary wine, the aroma of the Drunken Immortal Brew formed a white mist in the air and drifted in all directions. The people who passed by Nangong Zhe only smelled the fragrance of the wine, but many of their faces turned a little pink, as if they were drunk.
Originally, many people noticed that the Azure Jade Gourd in Nangong Zhe's hand was the source of the wine fragrance, but although Nangong Zhe was just sitting there, the residents of the Wood Leaf noticed that Nangong Zhe was extraordinary. As members of the Wood Leaf, although their strength may be average, their eyesight was extremely accurate.
Although many people were tempted, they noticed that Nangong Zhe's strength must be extraordinary, so they didn't dare to disturb him. If you don't believe me, you can see a group of people squatting under a tree on the corner of the street opposite Nangong Zhe. They were trying their best to sniff the Drunken Immortal Wine in Nangong Zhe's hand.
Nangong Zhe was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He just held his Azure Jade Gourd and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth from time to time.
Nangong Zhe drank the wine in his mouth, and just as Nangong Zhe was about to raise the Azure Jade Gourd to his mouth again, a hand reached out from behind Nangong Zhe and grabbed Nangong Zhe's wrist.
"Hey, hey, hey … Kid, don't waste this kind of wine. Let me taste it for you."
The person who spoke spoke in a very dissolute tone, like a madman who didn't care about anything. Nangong Zhe also saw a strand of hair on his shoulder that belonged to the person behind him. It was a strand of long white hair. So Nangong Zhe looked back and saw a person with two streaks of red oil paint on his face. His white hair was a little messy, and the word "oil" was written on his forehead was standing behind him.
"I say, Jiraiya-sama … I haven't seen you for so long, why do you want to drink my wine?"
Jiraiya also looked down at Nangong Zhe, as if he didn't recognize Nangong Zhe. He just looked at the Azure Jade Gourd again.
"Today, I don't know why, but a kid has been haunting the tavern and the bath. In order not to let this kid bring me trouble, I endured for a long time and didn't show up … But this kid actually took out such a good wine, I can't miss it, can I?"
Although Jiraiya kept calling him 'brat' and 'brat', Nangong Zhe knew that Jiraiya was actually clear about his plan to find him. But maybe Jiraiya didn't know why he was looking for him, so Nangong Zhe also said to Jiraiya:
"Actually, this kid originally wanted to find a senpai to drink with. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find this senpai at all. Everything can wait, but wine can't wait, right? Since I can't find him, I have to enjoy it myself. After all … a snake sneaked up to the tree. As a person leaning against the tree, I naturally had to enjoy myself. This snake wanted to break my back. This is a huge snake … "
When Jiraiya heard the word "snake", the hand holding Nangong Zhe's wrist trembled, as if he didn't think of this matter. So, Jiraiya's expression also became serious.
"You mean, a snake came to the Wood leaf?"
"Not only that, many people came to the Wood leaf with the snake, they came with saws and axes. But there aren't many people looking after the tree right now. That's why I came here, hoping to find someone to look after this tree with us … "
Nangong Zhe said to Jiraiya, but both of them looked calm, obviously Jiraiya has realized the importance of this matter. A group of people led by Orochimaru wanted to destroy the Wood leaf? Although Jiraiya left Konoha for various reasons, few people can surpass this former Sannin's feelings for Konoha.
"It seems that Watergate asked you to come to me? I also came back because I heard some rumors, but I didn't expect the situation to have reached this point. Since Watergate asked you to come to me, then I can't refuse. I will go to the Hokage's office now, and when I understand the situation, I will come to drink with you … "
After that, Jiraiya jumped on a nearby roof and ran all the way to the Hokage's office.
