Chapter 247 Dirty Politics (Ch 247)

At night, in a private room of a pub on the street.

Jiraiya looked at his empty wallet with a face full of grief. This was his operating fund for half a year, and it was all lost by Tsunade in just one afternoon.

Although he was very heartbroken, Jiraiya still patted his chest to comfort himself. Tsunade had already promised him that as long as she could return to Konoha and become the fifth Hokage, everything would be worth it.

“Boss! Give me two bottles of sake first.”

Tsunade shouted very proudly, and took a few wine glasses to share with Jiraiya and Yue Yan. As for Naruto and the other two, they got a glass of healthy and nutritious freshly squeezed juice.

“Come, have a couple of drinks with me.”

After saying that, Tsunade drank the glass herself.

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Yue Yan had no choice but to follow.

After drinking, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with some hesitation.

“You and I are both out of money, so this meal…”

Jiraiya didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was conveyed. Upon hearing this, Tsunade snorted disdainfully and looked at Yue Yan with an unfriendly look.

“Little devil, it’s you again. You’re the one who’s going to treat me to this meal. Is there a problem?”

Hearing Tsunade’s unquestionable words, Yue Yan shook his head decisively. After all, he had won a lot from Tsunade just now, so he should treat her. As long as Tsunade didn’t shamelessly take his money like last time, it would be fine…

Before Yue Yan could finish his thought, Tsunade’s hand had already reached out.

Although he knew what Tsunade meant, Yue Yan still wanted to struggle.

“Um, what does this mean, Lady Tsunade?”

Looking at Yue Yan’s smirking face, Tsunade frowned.

“Don’t act stupid in front of me. Do you know what I mean, or do you want to fly out of here?”

Tsunade showed her fist, then raised her finger and pointed at the ceiling.

Seeing this scene, Yue Yan’s mouth twitched. Is this a threat? This must be a threat.

Not only Tsunade, Jiraiya was also winking at Yue Yan in order to allow her to return to the village smoothly.

In desperation, Yue Yan had to give half to Tsunade.

However, Tsunade had just taken it when her brows frowned again.

“The amount is wrong. You won more than this from me.”

Yue Yan: (눈‸눈)

No, sister, I don’t think we are that familiar with each other. It’s already very good that I can return half of it to you. It would be a bit too much for me to take all of it.

As if she understood what Yue Yan’s expression meant, Tsunade crossed her arms and pulled them upwards, making a silent mockery.

The reason why it was a silent mockery was mainly because after Tsunade made this action, the only two women present, Tsunade and Sakura, both looked at their chests and then fell into negativity.

“It was you last time, and this time you’re using slugs to find me again. Is asking you for some money just a reward, or are you unwilling?”

Yue Yan pursed his lips and said something like “stingy” and “can’t afford to play” in a voice that only he could hear, but he still returned all the remaining money he had won from Tsunade to her.

After the little episode, the dishes that had been ordered arrived. Tsunade didn’t care about anyone else at all and started eating directly, with a very bold manner.

“Tsunade, let’s go back to Konoha tomorrow.”

“ha?”

Tsunade raised her head and looked at Jiraiya and blinked.

“When did I promise you that I would return to Konoha?”

Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly became anxious.

“You were in the casino before…”

Before he could finish his words, Tsunade interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

“Nothing? I didn’t hear what you said. Besides, even if I agreed to it, I said I would go back with you after I won the money. But now I haven’t won any money.”

Tsunade used her privilege as a woman, and Jiraiya, who was used to this, was speechless and could only sit there and drink.

After Tsunade had eaten her fill, she wiped her mouth and then asked Jiraiya and the others why they were looking for her.

“The old man died.”

This one sentence made Tsunade pause in her drinking. Her eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a long while, she spoke again.

“Orochimaru did it?”

Seeing Jiraiya nod, Tsunade couldn’t help but shake her head.

“I knew that no one would do such a thing except Orochimaru. The same goes for the old man. He is already so old and should have retired long ago.”

After saying that, Tsunade drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

“That’s why I came to you to take over the position of the Fifth Hokage.”

Jiraiya also finished the wine in his glass.

After that, they chatted about some random things.

Seeing that the two were about to start a long and time-consuming recollection, Yue Yan raised his hand and interrupted.

“Actually, the plan to collapse Konoha was tacitly approved by the Third Hokage. You can also say it was the result of his cooperation with Orochimaru.”

“Puff!” x2

Jiraiya and Tsunade sprayed out all the wine they had just drunk. If Yue Yan hadn’t dodged quickly, it would have all sprayed on his face.

After a while, Jiraiya looked at Yue Yan in disbelief.

“You said that this Konoha collapse plan was approved by Sarutobi-sensei!?”

Yue Yan nodded, then looked at Jiraiya.

“No matter which village the Kage is from, the final result of his exit is death in battle. Orochimaru and the Third Hokage don’t want him to die of old age. When Jiraiya-sensei received the Third Hokage’s inspection mission, he should have noticed it.”

After hearing this, Jiraiya smiled bitterly.

“I thought the old man had some other plan in mind when he sent me away, but it turns out he wanted to die as a hero.”

“Oh, he became a hero, and then he handed over the mess to his descendants to deal with. He really made a lot of calculations.”

Tsunade couldn’t help but echo.

“It’s not a mess.” Yue Yan shrugged. “At least the Third Hokage has tacitly agreed to let me eradicate the last cancer of Konoha.”

“ha?”

Jiraiya blinked in confusion, then looked at Yue Yan in disbelief.

“You mean, you killed Danzo!? And the old man acquiesced to it!?”

“Yes.” Yue Yan nodded and confirmed Jiraiya’s statement. “Under the guidance of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru and I dealt with Danzo and himself respectively. When it’s over, without Danzo, the next Hokage will have almost no resistance.”

After hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade both fell silent.

After a long time, Tsunade drank another glass of wine and made the briefest and most accurate summary of Konoha’s collapse plan.

“Dirty politics.”

After that, seeing that the atmosphere was about to fall into silence again, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade.

“You also heard that Danzo is dead. After you become the fifth generation, no one will cause trouble for you.”

“We’ll talk about this later. I’m drunk. Shizune, let’s go back and rest.”

After a silent hello, Tsunade left.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya shook his head. He knew Tsunade very well. As long as Tsunade did not refuse on the spot, it meant that the matter could be discussed. If he persuaded her more tomorrow, it should be possible.

But when he thought that Tsunade would definitely go to the casino again tomorrow, Jiraiya’s expression fell.
