Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 217 Naruto: "We can't let a weak woman become the 5th Hokage!"

"It's finally over. Now the only one left is Konoha's Nine-Tails..."

Black Zetsu murmured in a low voice, a hint of smile flashing in his empty eyes.

"If you want to launch a genjutsu that changes the world, you must gather the chakra of the nine tailed beasts. If you want to catch the Nine-Tails, how difficult it is..."

Nagato frowned, but Black Zetsu quickly added.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi is a technique that covers the entire world. No object can block the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has the most chakra among the nine tailed beasts and is an indispensable part."

The lavender eyes stared at the front, and the half-black and half-white Zetsu immediately revealed an expression that showed he was concerned about Nagato.

"Don't you want to see your friends again? Everything in the Infinite Tsukuyomi is defined by you. Giving your friends a complete life and making the world truly peaceful, isn't this what you have always wished for?"

"Only by falling into the world of illusion can humans stop fighting forever and smooth out their inherent bad nature..."

In response to Jue's remarks, Nagato said nothing and just walked out of the base silently.

"Then I'll trust you again..."

Black Zetsu, who did not see Nagato's expression, breathed a sigh of relief, while Nagato, with his back to Black Zetsu and Afei, had a subtle look in his eyes.

"Illusions are just dreams after all. Even if I have to endure pain and carry on, I will fulfill your and Konan's wishes and make this world truly peaceful without pain, Yahiko..."

On the other hand, outside of Konoha Village, near the hot spring town, near a tourist city full of casinos.

It was evening, and Jiraiya and Naruto were planning to find a hotel to rest for the night after wandering aimlessly all day.

In the distant game hall, bursts of exclamations were suddenly heard from the crowd in the distance.

"Amazing! That woman just shook out a leopard and won a lot in one go..."

"Eh? I saw that guy nearby a few days ago. Not only did he get three 7s on the game machine, but he also killed everyone along the way!"

"Really? She's so lucky..."

Among the crowd, Jiraiya heard this and shook his head.

She was so lucky that I knew it wasn't her as soon as I heard it. Given her personality, it would be strange if she didn't lose so much that she didn't even have money for accommodation.

Jiraiya sneered, shook his head and left, preparing to take Naruto to a nearby izakaya for a quick meal, but suddenly heard something and paused slightly.

"Shizune, pack your things and leave here immediately. There's trouble coming."

"Tsunade-sama, wait a minute, the money hasn't been packed yet..."

"No more!"

The next second, Tsunade, who had emerged from the crowd, stood there in a daze. The white-haired burly man behind the crowd turned around and met her eyes.

"Tsunade!"

"Jiraiya!"

Shizune, who hurriedly followed, was also slightly stunned after seeing this. How could she meet Lord Jiraiya here?

On the side, Naruto looked on curiously, wanting to see what this beauty who was said to be of the same generation as the lustful sage looked like.

Her long light yellow hair was tied into a big ponytail. The light blue-purple mark on her forehead was very conspicuous, and her facial features were well-defined, with a protruding front and a curved back.

At first glance, it gives people the feeling of a ripe peach, bright and mature.

However, when Naruto thought that the woman in front of him was actually about the same age as Jiraiya beside him, he couldn't help but complain.

“Is this really not a deception of appearance?”

The words "appearance is deceptive" were clearly heard by Tsunade. She frowned and turned her head to glance at Naruto with an unfriendly look.

"Fraud? Can this kid talk? Who did I defraud?!"

After saying that, he turned his head and stared at Jiraiya, laughing.

"What bad luck! I didn't expect to run into you here. This is your new disciple. He looks stupid and dumb. He has no future even if he becomes a ninja!"

For a moment, the corners of Naruto's mouth twitched. This old woman was really sharp-tongued and would not suffer any loss at all.

Glancing at his clothes, Naruto sighed helplessly and glanced at Jiraiya beside him.

If he hadn't said that his red sage cloak was too conspicuous, how could Naruto choose to change into his old clothes? He had such bad taste at that time!

"It just happened to happen that I met him. It saved me a lot of energy. I went there to have a drink and stayed outside the village to chat about the past..."

After a while, inside the pub.

After three glasses of wine, Jiraiya, who had entered the room without saying a word except for ordering food, was the first to speak.

"Some time ago, Orochimaru teamed up with a mysterious organization and launched the Konoha collapse plan. The Third Hokage died in the battle. This time I came to invite you to return to Konoha to serve as the Fifth Hokage."

After these words were spoken, Tsunade, who was drinking by herself, fell silent, while Shizune beside her was shocked when she heard them.

"The Third Hokage died in battle, how is this possible? The Third Hokage is a ninja professor..."

"The one who did it was Orochimaru, but he was also killed. The five members of the mysterious organization Akatsuki were all famous S-rank rebel ninjas, and the leader of the organization even possessed the Rinnegan."

Jiraiya said softly, his expression heavy, but Tsunade kept her eyes downcast and remained silent.

"The Rinnegan, that's not the legendary Six Paths Sage's eyes, Lady Tsunade, we should still..."

"Why don't you be the Fifth Hokage?"

Before Shizune could continue, Tsunade interrupted her and threw the wine cup in her hand casually on the table.

"I don't have time. The leader of Akatsuki, that child...Nagato, is my disciple."

"If a disciple goes astray, it is the teacher's duty. I will personally lead him back to the right path. If I cannot do that, I will solve the problem myself. This is the teacher's duty!"

Jiraiya's eyes were deep, and Tsunade's pupils shrank, knowing his determination.

"you......"

"Relax, relax. Your luck is really bad, isn't it? Then just bet that I will die. You always lose when you bet anyway. Hahahaha!!!"

With a hearty laugh, Jiraiya looked towards Tsunade, hoping that his old friend would agree to his request.

"I......"

Tsunade frowned deeply and was hesitant, which made Naruto, who was waiting on the side, feel complicated, mostly impatient and angry.

Thinking back to the hesitant expressions of those people in the meeting, and then looking at the hesitant woman in front of me, if she were someone with an impatient personality, she would probably have overturned the table and walked out.

That's the Hokage, a position that countless people in Konoha Village dream of. Danzo has been planning for decades, just for the throne of Hokage!

Fortunately, the current Naruto is not the Naruto of the past. He slowly put down his chopsticks with an indifferent tone.

"That's enough, you lecherous sage. Since she doesn't want to be the Fifth Hokage, it's fine to let the teacher take over. The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin, and we don't have time to waste with her."

"Wait, what are you talking about little brother? The Fourth Shinobi World War?"

Shizune exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth, and Naruto glanced at Tsunade in agreement.

"The Akatsuki organization has taken away eight tailed beasts from the five major nations. They may start a war at any time. This time, the village that will become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is Konoha."

"We can't let such a weak woman become the Fifth Hokage!"
