Naruto's office.
"How is it going? Is the research going well?"
Sandaime Naruto glanced at the documents on the desk in front of him, then slightly raised his eyes and looked at Tsunade.
"Most of the research has been completed. This time, thanks to Watergate's help."
Tsunade said. During this period of time, Watergate solved the problem of establishing a ninja medical system for her.
"Oh, is that so?" Sandaime asked, but his expression and tone were as if it was a matter of course.
After all, since he chose Watergate in the ninja academy, this little guy has never disappointed him.
"If there is such a disciple, I hope you can find one for me."
Tsunade chuckled. She knew why Watergate worshipped Jiraiya as his teacher when they were in the ninja academy.
It was the order of Sandaime.
"Are you going to accept a disciple?
Then after a while, after the graduation of this batch of ninja academy students, you will be a Jonin Mentor. "Sandaime said.
Tsunade shook her head and said, "I don't have such plans now, what's more, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a disciple as good as that little guy."
"Yes." The Sandaime nodded.
"However, I do plan to start training a group of medical ninjas, so I will choose some suitable seedlings among the graduates." Tsunade said.
Sandaime nodded, then smiled and said, "According to your idea, you are now the real pillars of this village …"
...
After leaving Tsunade's research room, Watergate walked back home, but from a distance, he saw a figure lying on the eaves.
His figure flashed and came to the eaves and said, "Sensei, your training is over?"
The figure on the eaves was Jiraiya, he looked sideways at Watergate and said, "Well, it's over for the time being, but … I still didn't succeed in entering Sage Mode."
"As a Sensei, I didn't expect to be completely defeated by you …" Jiraiya laughed at himself.
"Without Sensei's guidance, I won't be who I am today, you are the best ninja."
Watergate said sincerely. Training and strength are not all ninjas, how to pass on their will is also part of being a ninja.
In this respect, he asked himself, he is far worse than his Sensei.
"You are getting better and better at talking."
Jiraiya smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together in the evening, I will leave the village soon."
Hearing this, Minato was startled and then said, "Leave the village?
Where are you going? "
Jiraiya's eyes were staring at the blue sky and said, "Do you remember the answer I once asked you??"
"You are now stronger than I am. In terms of the power to protect your family, you have already surpassed me. Therefore, I can rest assured and search for the answer."
Watergate trembled, looking at his Sensei's eyes, there was a little more awe in them.
"Whether people can build real trust between them, if you want to know the answer, you can't stay in the same place." Jiraiya chuckled.
"Yes!" Watergate responded.
On the eaves, the Sensei and apprentice talked happily until evening.
...
After Shinna Kushina came back, the three of them went to the barbecue shop they often went to.
"How nostalgic …" Jiraiya looked around the familiar environment and sighed.
The three of them chose to sit in the same place where he accepted Watergate as his disciple.
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, you have grown so big."
At this time, the owner of the barbecue shop also came over. He is over fifty years old, and whether it is Jiraiya or Watergate, he has watched them grow since they were children.
Shinna Kushina was the only one who didn't know the meaning of it, and immediately asked, "What are you talking about?"
Watergate smiled and explained the whole story to her.
"Jiraiya sensei, after leaving the village, where do you plan to go first?"
Shinna Kushina asked with a hint of envy in her voice. In fact, if she could, she also wanted to travel the village.
It's just that they are all Ninjas belonging to Konoha. Unless they have the identity of Jiraiya, they can't wander outside at will.
Not to mention her special identity, it was even more impossible.
"Tang no Guk. If you want to travel, it should be a good choice." Jiraiya chuckled.
Watergate nodded. Tang no Guk's hot springs were famous, and it was a good place.
Shinna Kushina's expression changed slightly. She looked at Jiraiya and said, "Sensei … you don't have any strange ideas, do you?"
Jiraiya and Watergate were stunned when they heard this. The former looked embarrassed for a while, then smiled and said, "What are you thinking, this time, I am really going out to travel …"
However, Shinna Kushina's expression was still slightly doubtful.
"By the way, let me show you something."
In order to resolve the awkwardness, Jiraiya took out a stack of paper from the ninja bag behind his waist and put it in front of Watergate and Shinna.
Both of them looked at it at the same time and saw the words "The Legend of Perseverance" on the first piece of paper.
Watergate suddenly understood that this was the first novel written by Jiraiya sensei.
The content of this book left a deep impression on Watergate, and the name of his child, Naruto, was the name of the protagonist of this novel.
Shinna Kushina flipped through it a few times with great interest, then looked at Jiraiya with her beautiful eyes and said, "This is …"
Jiraiya's face showed a hint of pride and said, "This is my first novel, and it will tell the story of a real ninja in my heart."
"I want to finish this novel in my travels, maybe … I will become a best-selling novel writer in the future." Jiraiya took a sip and winked at the two.
"Sensei." Suddenly, Watergate said.
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Watergate pondered for a moment and said, "You are leaving the village, don't you want to say goodbye to Tsunade -sama?"
Jiraiya was slightly startled, his eyes opened and closed, then smiled and said, "No, she also has her own things to do, I heard that you have helped her a lot recently …"
Watergate still wanted to say something, but Shinna Kushina grabbed his hand from under the table.
After all, the matter between them is not something that he, as a disciple, can intervene in …
...
"Ha …"
In the research room of Wood Leaf Hospital, Tsunade, whose research has temporarily come to an end, stood up and stretched her waist, outlined a beautiful arc under the moonlight.
"Take a break for a while, you have been too tired during this time." At this time, Kato Duan walked in and said.
Tsunade nodded slightly. Kato Duan followed her line of sight, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "I heard from Naruto -sama that Jiraiya will leave the village tomorrow for a trip. As one of the Sannin, don't you want to send your friend off?"
Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, then said, "No, he will come back sooner or later anyway …"
"I'm going out to relax."
Tsunade left a sentence, then turned and left the research room.
...
After leaving the research room, Tsunade sat on a bench in the hospital, the bright moonlight was like the softest silk sprinkling on her cheeks, extremely beautiful.
That pair of autumn water-like eyes rippled, staring at the moonlight, stunned for a long time, finally turned into a chuckle.
"Idiot, take care of yourself."
After saying that, she stood up again and walked into the hospital …
