On the other side, in the Hokage's office.

"Jiraiya, you're back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette, his voice slightly vicissitudes.

"Yes, I'm back, Sarutobi teacher."

Jiraiya looked at the teacher in front of him with complicated eyes. He wanted to come in generously and shout "old man" openly.

However, Jiraiya's words came to an abrupt end the moment he saw the teacher.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was old again, much older than the teacher in his impression, not only did he have a few wrinkles on his face, but his hair was also gray in some places.

Jiraiya felt distressed. He realized that time is fair to everyone, and even great ninjas cannot escape the erosion of time.

Jiraiya walked to the teacher and sat down, his eyes showing concern: "Teacher, how are you doing recently?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and replied: "It's OK, I'm old, so I can't compare with you young people."

Jiraiya frowned and said seriously: "Teacher, don't say that. You are a legend in Konoha Village, and we all respect you very much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and said with emotion: "Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, you have all grown into excellent ninjas."

He smiled He gently patted the teacher's shoulder and comforted him: "Teacher, don't worry, we are still here in Konoha Village. As long as we are here, Konoha Village will definitely get better and better."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and said earnestly: "Jiraiya, you have always been a child that the teacher can rest assured. I hope you can continue to work hard and make more contributions to Konoha Village."

Jiraiya responded firmly: "Yes, teacher, I will!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya with satisfaction. Jiraiya was the disciple who respected him most among the three disciples.

"Jiraiya, I'm old. Can you stay in Konoha this time you come back?" The third generation Hokage said slowly.

Jiraiya shook his head quickly: "No, you know I don't want to be bound."

The Third Hokage sighed and said: "Jiraiya, I know you don't like the darkness hidden under Konoha,

But over the years, Konoha has changed, becoming united, no longer as turbulent as before.

Now Danzo is dead, and the Root has disbanded."

Jiraiya smiled and replied: "Teacher, I have seen these changes.

When I returned to Konoha, I really didn't expect that the Uchiha clan would be able to return to the center of Konoha one day.

And whether it is adults or children in Konoha, most of them have smiles on their faces, live and work in peace, and everything is much better than before.

Teacher, I didn't expect you to manage it well!"

The Third Hokage smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Jiraiya Raiya, to be honest, most of these things are not because of me, but because of Naruto.

Naruto's existence has brought many changes to Konoha, allowing people to regain hope and courage.

On the contrary, I think I have done too badly. If it weren't for Naruto, Konoha would not have become so strong. It is because of Naruto that we can solve the problems of Konoha's internal and external troubles. "

Jiraiya nodded in agreement: "Yes, Naruto is indeed a special child. His optimism and kindness have infected many people.

He always faces difficulties with a smile and never gives up easily. Maybe he is the hope of Konoha's future. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya stood on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, facing the afterglow of the sunset, looking at the orange sky, and overlooking the scenery of Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Jiraiya, do you know where Tsunade is? I hope you can bring her back to Konoha."

Jiraiya scratched his head: "I know where she is, but it's hard to say whether she is willing to come back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Since the death of Rope Tree, she has been immersed in pain and unable to extricate herself. But now, Konoha needs her."

Jiraiya frowned: "But her heart is too heavy, I'm afraid she won't let go of the past easily."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Jiraiya's shoulder: "I understand your concerns, but I believe she still loves Konoha deep in her heart.

Tell her that I am ready to abdicate and let her come back to take over the position of Hokage."

Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise: "Are you really going to do this? This is not a trivial matter!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "I am old, and Konoha needs a new leader to lead it into the future. And Tsunade, undoubtedly

is the most suitable candidate. "

Jiraiya was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, I will try my best to persuade her to come back. But what if she still refuses?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "That depends on your ability, Jiraiya. We can't force her, but at least give her a chance to choose."

Jiraiya nodded helplessly: "I understand, teacher. I will try it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said: "Go, Jiraiya. I hope you can successfully bring Tsunade back. The future of Konoha is in the hands of you young people."

Jiraiya answered firmly: "Don't worry, teacher. I will definitely not let you down."

After that, Jiraiya turned and left, embarking on the journey to find Tsunade.
