"Imperial order" Tsunade's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and her eyes became sharp, "Don't call me so dictatorial. Besides, aren't I discussing with you now?"

"Who will become Hokage in the end is a consensus reached based on the opinions of me, the old man, you and the other jounin. It is not just who I want to appoint as Hokage."

The woman's voice was unhurried and eloquent.

Jiraiya remained calm and listened to her explanation.

Tsunade was not in a hurry. She picked out a few fried peanuts from the small plate next to her with her slender fingers and ate them leisurely.After a while, he stopped, licked his fingertips, and said slowly: "Of course, I don't deny that as the current Hokage, I have a huge influence on the issue of deciding the next Hokage. I can even say that I can decide it with one word. That’s what you call imperial decision. But before making a decision, I still hope to convince you first or, if you have a better reason, it’s not a bad idea to be convinced by you.”

"After all, I am also an enlightened leader."

The woman Wang Po smiled like a melon, trying to lighten the overly serious atmosphere.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, showed a rare serious smile and said with a stern look: "I didn't prepare many reasons to convince you. I just want to remind you that Naruto's dream has always been to become Hokage, but Sakura has never expressed her love for him. The vision of Hokage. I think, no matter who you choose to be Hokage, the person’s own thoughts are also important."

He paused slightly, looked into Tsunade's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tsunade, you should know better than me whether Sakura really wants to be Hokage."

The woman stopped drinking.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes twinkling.

There is nothing better than a father to know a son, and nothing better than a master to know a disciple.Tsunade got along with her apprentice day and night, and she knew Haruno Sakura very well.Generally speaking, she is a girl with very contradictory characteristics. Sometimes she is easy-going and sometimes she is inexplicably arrogant. Sometimes she is very profound about political issues and sometimes she is like a novice. Her personality is full of boyish heroic spirit but also very gentle. Excellent female ninja.And for such a maverick person, she seems to have no idea about the position of Hokage.

Not like many of the ninjas in the village.

"I have to have a good chat with her when I get back." Tsunade thought to herself that this was indeed an oversight on her part.

But this doesn't mean that Jiraiya's words can convince her.

On the contrary, Tsunade has always believed that people with too pure minds are not suitable to be Hokage. This reason alone is enough for her to firmly vote against Naruto.Of course, she did not deny that the first Hokage was a great Hokage. Although he was also very stubborn, the great grandfather had Tobirama to assist him back then, and his own strength was proud of the ninja world.

If the strength exceeds a certain limit like the first generation, then many rules will not apply, but is it possible for Naruto to do it?

"I understand what you mean, Jiraiya." Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "But"

"You should know that politics is the art of compromise."

Zilai also nodded.

Tsunade continued: "To put it bluntly, the environment and resources we live in are limited. If we want to live a human-like life, obtain more resources, and leave a broader living space for future generations, conflicts are bound to arise. , conflicting interests, causing them to fight each other, this is a fight.”

"There are too many fights, and this is war."

"I find that war and killing cannot solve the problem. I can only hold my nose and exist under the same blue sky with other people. All kinds of struggles and compromises for this are politics."

Unlike Jiraiya who does not care about politics, Tsunade has sat in the position of Hokage for several years, and has been influenced by the first, second and third generations of Hokage for many years, and has her own unique understanding of so-called politics.

The position of Hokage seems to have great power, and she is in control of life and death. She can do whatever she wants. In fact, Tsunade is rarely able to be arbitrary and arbitrary in anything she really wants to do. She must take into account all aspects and make various compromises.If not, Danzo and Nebe had obviously committed many evil deeds, so why did their problems not be solved until this year? It wasn't until he was defeated by Sakura and Shisui's eyes were taken away that Danzo completely collapsed.

This is true internally, let alone externally.

"Jiraiya, the old man also wanted you to be Hokage, but you refused." Tsunade said slowly.

"Because I'm not suitable to be Hokage."

"That's right. Your character has nothing to do with politics." Tsunade nodded, "Your ninja is persistence and perseverance. You will not look back if you decide on something. But as Hokage, you often can't insist on anything. "Politics requires you to compromise, otherwise you will suffer a bloody blow because of your determination."

Politicians must adhere to the bottom line and be flexible.But Jiraiya only has the former, because he is a pure enough person.This pure perseverance made Jiraiya grow to the level he is today, but it also made him unsuitable to become a Hokage.

Jiraiya remained silent.

He understood Tsunade, and Tsunade naturally understood him.The woman's evaluation of him was spot-on, and he didn't think it was wrong, so he couldn't refute it.

"The same goes for Naruto." Tsunade put down her wine glass and cast her burning eyes on Jiraiya's face.

"His personality is too much like yours, Jiraiya. So he is not suitable to be Hokage."

"No, you are wrong, Tsunade." Jiraiya also put down his glass and looked back with firm eyes.

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "I'm not quarreling with you. Naruto is very similar to me, but there is one biggest difference."

"Naruto has always dreamed of becoming Hokage."

And Jiraiya is just a salted fish without dreams.

Jiraiya was special to Naruto.Jiraiya had many outstanding disciples in his life, including the Fourth Hokage and his son, who were also his disciples.But the fourth generation and Payne were too good, so they embarked on their own path.

But Naruto was particularly clumsy and very tough, much like Jiraiya when he was a child.So he inherited Jiraiya's path, inherited his clumsiness and perseverance, and even inherited his lust.Naruto is the only child among all Jiraiya's disciples who has inherited everything from him.One of them has never had a child, and the other has never had a father. During the two years of traveling outside the village, the two of them got along better than a father and son, but not as a father and son.

In Jiraiya's heart, Naruto may be more inclined to exist like a son or grandson.

No matter what, Jiraiya will fight for Naruto.

Even if he was facing Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at him intently.It is said that serious men are the most handsome. When looking at Jiraiya who was so determined, Tsunade suddenly discovered that this man's eyes could become so clear.

When the usual lustful, cynical and other bad things disappeared from the man's eyes, when she saw Jiraiya's diamond-like clear and strong will through his eyes, Tsunade suddenly Jiraiya also changed. It has to be charming and masculine.

As if she had drunk too much sake, Tsunade's face gradually turned red, as if peach blossoms were blooming, making the woman's pretty face more charming and charming.

She lowered her eyes and broke the long exchange of stares with a smile: "Ha Jiraiya, you are still so stubborn."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's boring." Tsunade waved her hands and shook her head and said, "Let's talk about the future in the future. It's still early anyway."

Jiraiya also laughed and clinked the wine glasses with Tsunade: "I'm doing what I said."

"Dry"

Tsunade drank it all in one gulp and wiped the water traces from the corners of her mouth with her hands boldly.

"It's my fault after all." She put down her wine glass and smiled faintly, "Originally, I called you back to the village to let you rest for a while, but in the end, I made you worry about these boring things. "

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade in surprise.

"I thought the village was just worried about Naruto's safety."

Tsunade shook her head: "Naruto is just one of the reasons."

Jiraiya on the other hand.On the public side, he asked Jiraiya to come back to protect the village because the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, while on the private side, Tsunade wanted Jiraiya to go home and rest without having to wander outside.

"The village and I owe you a lot. Now that the younger generation is gradually growing up, you can worry less about things and leave the burden on your shoulders to them."

Jiraiya felt Tsunade's thoughts to some extent, and his heart warmed slightly, but there was a heroic smile on his face: "Haha, this is just my mission. I can risk my life at any time for this mission. This is the handsomeness of this old man." Well"

Is he handsome? Indeed, Jiraiya is quite handsome like this.

"Hmph, as long as you don't try to be cool every time by showing off," Tsunade snorted disdainfully, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

The two bickered skillfully.

We chatted about the past, our disciples, and our memories.

Gradually the sun sets in the west and night falls.

The lanterns are first lit and the full moon hangs.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and Jiraiya became eloquent again.

"Haha, who would have thought that the washboard princess back then would now become Boba Hokage?" Jiraiya said with a big tongue and a mouth full of alcohol, "Times are changing so fast."

"You who were very beautiful back then are now an old woman over fifty years old, and you have a disciple who is prettier, stronger, and flatter than you. And I also have a disciple who looks like me in every way. I really look forward to them. What will it be like when you grow up?”

Tsunade's eyes were blurred, her face was red, and she shook her head and said: "Idiot Sakura and Naruto are probably out of the question. Instead of looking forward to them, it's better to seize the moment."

"At least Sakura is gentle to Naruto, how could she be so cruel to you?"

"You bastard deserves a beating, right?"

"Look, you're here again"

Strange to say, it was clearly late autumn on the rooftop and the cool breeze was blowing, but Tsunade felt that the sake tasted very good, and it felt warm and sweet in the stomach after drinking it.

On the Konoha street under the Hokage Rock, the street lamps were lit, and the dim yellow lights shone up from below, making the night warm and ambiguous.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

I don’t know if you have watched White Snake: The Origin, which is a very good movie recently.Unfortunately, I went to the cinema alone
