After a short conversation with Hoodlum, Sasuke took his three teammates to embark on the first mission of becoming Akatsuki's mercenaries. The mission's destination is the very distant Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning. It seems that Sasuke's team is about to face another difficult battle.
In the Land of Fire, Wood leaf Village, the sun was still so bright and warm, and every villager's face was filled with joy and happiness. As the highest leader of the village, Yondaime Hokage Watergate was sitting in his office at the moment, discussing this year's Wood leaf ninja training program and the specific adjustment plan of the Wood leaf medical ninja training program with some of his subordinates.
Minato and his subordinates argued and discussed some of the details. Although everyone seemed to be arguing until their faces turned red, everyone could feel the light of 'hope' from them. Because they all knew that their arguments were not meaningless. On the contrary, an idea they put forward now may become Wood leaf's policy for the next year. For those who worked in politics, even a promotion was far less exciting than having one's suggestion adopted and implemented.
Just as they were discussing whether to further expand the scope of the Wood leaf medical ninja training program and expand the recruitment of ninjas from newly graduated genin to some chunin and even jonin, a knock on the door directly interrupted their conversation. Watergate's face was slightly unhappy, his good-looking eyebrows slightly wrinkled together, he stretched out his hand and waved to his subordinates, indicating them to wait for a moment and then continue the discussion. Watergate slowly walked to the door of his office.
Putting his hand on the handle of his door and gently turning the door handle, Watergate raised his head and glanced at the person who interrupted the lively discussion at such a moment. But what Watergate didn't expect was that the person who knocked on the door was not a subordinate who brought him office documents, but his teacher, Jiraiya, who officially married Tsunade not long ago.
Since it was Jiraiya, Watergate naturally couldn't just put on a sour face, so he tried his best to make his face look better. Watergate welcomed Jiraiya, who was standing at the door, into his office. Some department heads in the office waiting for Watergate's return saw Jiraiya coming in and greeted him very politely.
In the face of these Konoha administrators, Jiraiya wasn't so cold. But they were all congratulating him on his marriage, so of course, Jiraiya couldn't lose face like this, so he smiled at them and exchanged a few words in return.
Jiraiya and Tsunade just got married a few days ago. At such a time, he came to find his disciple, naturally there should be something important, so Watergate said to his department head,
"Everyone, please go back first. We will make an appointment later to continue discussing the modification of the plan!"
These department heads naturally knew that Watergate had something important to say to their teacher, one of the Wood leaf Sannin, Jiraiya, so they were very reasonable. After bidding farewell to Watergate and Jiraiya, they also walked out of Hokage's office one by one. After sending away his subordinates, Watergate closed the door of his office.
Walking to Jiraiya's side with a little concern, Watergate said to Jiraiya:
"Sensei, why are you here at this time? I thought you and Tsunade-sama were going to enjoy the sweet time of your honeymoon … "
Speaking of 'sweet time', Watergate's eyes suddenly turned, looked at his teacher, and found that Jiraiya was indeed a little old. As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. Counting the time, Tsunade-sama is also at the age of a wolf and a tiger. Is she my Sensei … During this time, Watergate also felt a dull pain in his waist after seeing his wife Shinna Kushina. After all, everyone is a ninja, and their physical fitness is not ordinary!
With a little concern, Watergate took Jiraiya's hand and said to his teacher:
"Sensei, don't worry. We are all men, I understand. I have a prescription here that I found before. Although I haven't tried it, I heard that the effect is very significant. Would you like me to give you a prescription to try? "
Although Watergate didn't say it explicitly, they were all men, and the meaning of Watergate's words was very clear to Jiraiya. Hearing that someone doubted his ability, even if this person was his disciple, Jiraiya was very upset and said to Watergate:
"No, no … The pamphlet that Nangong Zhe gave me before is very effective …"
Halfway through his words, Jiraiya realized that he seemed to be led astray by his disciple, so after a quick cough, he said to Watergate with a serious face:
"I didn't come here to talk to you about such things! It's really a serious matter, do you understand? "
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Watergate also put away the evil thoughts in his heart and sat upright facing Jiraiya. Obviously, he was ready to listen to what Jiraiya said. Seeing that Watergate was serious, Jiraiya continued to say to Watergate:
"I know that you have been busy with various matters in Wood leaf Village during this time, but I hope you can spare some time and go to Mount Myoboku with me."
Watergate looked at Jiraiya with a little doubt and asked:
"Mount Myoboku? Is there a new prophecy from Toadama Sennin? "
Watergate naturally knew about Toadama Sennin's prophecy ability of Mount Myoboku, and in Watergate's mind, this was the only reason why Jiraiya mentioned Mount Myoboku so seriously. But after hearing Watergate's words, Jiraiya slowly shook his head and said to Watergate:
"No, Great Toadama Sennin is still sleeping. The reason why I'm going to take you to Mount Myoboku this time is because I think you should learn Mount Myoboku's secret Sage Mode. After the last battle with Pain, I thought that Pain might have other abilities to restore the Rikudō's clones that he had lost. After studying the black stick we brought back, Tsunade also told me that the function of this black stick is actually to conduct Chakra. Rikudō's clones are made of corpses, so it's possible to repair or change a body. With your current strength, it's still a bit difficult to deal with Pain's Rikudō, so in order to protect Wood leaf, I think it's necessary to take you to Mount Myoboku to practice Sage Mode! "
