Chapter 189
Immediately... rumble rumble — —
Rumble rumble!!!
Not only the city wall, but even the ground behind the city wall trembled. An old, dilapidated ancient building instantly collapsed with a crash. Rocks rolled, bricks and tiles shattered, the earth shook, and sand and stones flew!
"I'll kill you!"
Grandma Tsunade was furious, and the power of her punch was enough to make heaven and earth crumble!
Yakushi Kabuto's face also changed in horror.
"Such terrifying power…"
"If I were hit by even one of her punches, I'd probably die a hundred times over…"
But Orochimaru remained unfazed.
"Tsunade, why must it be like this?"
"I just want to invite you, an old friend, to be my guest for a few days…"
"Besides, you never wanted to be Hokage anyway, so it's no loss to you, isn't it?"
Tsunade said coldly, "No one can force me to do something I don't want to do!"
"But even if I don't want to be Hokage, I will never follow your arrangements!"
Orochimaru sighed.
"Does it have to come to this?"
"Tsunade, you're the only one I don't want to kill…"
These words were Orochimaru's true feelings.
Although he was heinous, there was no need for him to lie.
But Tsunade wasn't buying it.
"Orochimaru, I, however, don't mind killing you!"
In an instant, tension rose between the two, terrifying killing intent wildly intertwined and clashed, and a fierce battle was about to erupt!
Yakushi Kabuto and Shizune, who were beside them, both turned pale and swallowed hard.
Were the legendary Sannin going to fight to the death here today?!
But just then, a mocking laugh suddenly came.
"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha!"
"What a coincidence…"
"Why does today feel like a class reunion?"
Both Tsunade and Orochimaru's expressions changed!
The two of them turned their heads simultaneously and saw another incredibly familiar face.
"Ji, Jiraiya?!"
Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the man in front of her with a complicated expression.
Orochimaru, however, frowned.
"Jiraiya, have you really come to ruin my plans again?"
Jiraiya laughed heartily.
"Orochimaru, shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
"Tsunade, long time no see!"
Naruto was also dumbfounded!
"Pervy Sage, you, you mean that beautiful older sister is Grandma Tsunade?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Jiraiya smiled: "She used a secret technique to maintain her youthful and ageless appearance."
"How about it, isn't she beautiful?"
"And her figure too…"
Naruto, however, angrily said, "Isn't that fraud?!"
Tsunade's brow furrowed immediately.
"Jiraiya, who is this rude brat you've brought?!"
Jiraiya laughed: "This guy?"
"His name is Uzumaki Naruto."
Tsunade's expression changed: "Uzumaki Naruto, which means…"
Jiraiya said: "That's right, it's exactly who you're thinking of."
Tsunade scrutinized Naruto up and down.
"He seems rather ordinary…"
"Just an annoying ordinary brat."
Naruto was furious: "You're clearly an old hag, yet you pretend to be an older sister. Compared to that, you're even more annoying!"
He didn't care that she was one of the legendary Sannin.
He just said whatever came to his mind.
Tsunade's veins immediately bulged on her forehead.
"You damn brat, what did you say?!"
Jiraiya smiled.
"Forget it, Tsunade, how old are you? Why are you bickering with a brat like Naruto?"
"You shut up!"
"Jiraiya, I know why you're here, but I advise you to give up."
"I will not go back with you to be Hokage."
When Naruto heard these words, his face immediately changed, and his heart sank!
"What?"
"Become Hokage?!"
"Pervy Sage, what exactly is going on?!"
"You said to come with you to find this old woman, but you never told me she was going to be Hokage!"
"What happened to Lord Third Hokage?!"
Jiraiya said: "Naruto, these are adult matters, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"How would I not understand?!"
Jiraiya sighed: "In short, Sarutobi-sensei is about to step down, and the most suitable candidate to succeed as Hokage is Tsunade."
"That's why I'm looking for her."
Naruto couldn't help but cross his arms, staring at Tsunade with an unconvinced expression.
"What the heck, even if there's suddenly a new Hokage, it shouldn't be this old woman, right?"
Jiraiya chuckled: "Then who should it be?"
Naruto grinned: "Of course, it'd be best if it were me!"
Tsunade couldn't help but say, "A mere brat wants to be Hokage? What big words…"
"Although I've always disdained something like Hokage, it's not something a brat like you can be."
Naruto was enraged.
Other things aside, becoming Hokage was his deepest dream.
Now, to have Grandma Tsunade in front of him reject it, and then insult it, was simply unbearable!
"What did you say?!"
"You look down on me, but do you also look down on the Hokage?!"
Tsunade snorted: "So what if I look down on it?"
Jiraiya gave a wry smile.
"Naruto, there's no need to argue with her."
"Besides, what she said is true. As the granddaughter of the First Hokage and a student of Sarutobi-sensei, if Tsunade wanted to be Hokage, she should have had the chance long ago…"
Naruto said, "I don't care!"
"Even if she thinks the Hokage isn't much, I won't allow her to insult my dream in front of me!"
Tsunade's heart stirred involuntarily.
"You said Hokage is your dream?"
"So what?!"
Tsunade unconsciously thought of those two figures, but instantly forced herself to cast them aside.
"So what, not to mention you can't even become one, what if you did?"
Jiraiya understood what Tsunade was thinking, but he also didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only sigh softly.
Naruto, however, was furious: "You, why do you have to say that?!"
"I want to challenge you to a fight!"
Tsunade suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Just you, a brat?"
"That's right, just me!"
"If I win, I want you to acknowledge my strength, and also apologize for what you said!"
Tsunade laughed.
"What an arrogant guy…"
"Jiraiya, is this your new disciple?"
"He's quite a bit different from the previous one…"
Jiraiya, however, said: "No, you're wrong about this one thing, Tsunade…"
"I believe Naruto is second to none."
"That's right, including Minato."
Tsunade was instantly startled.
Because of course she knew the name Minato Namikaze.
In his era, he once overshadowed everyone, even the legendary Sannin… Orochimaru also couldn't help but smile.
"Tsunade, it's best not to underestimate this guy, otherwise you might be embarrassed…"
Tsunade was even more shocked.
"Even you say so?"
Jiraiya was Naruto's master to begin with, so praise or compliments were only natural.
Although his statement that Naruto's excellence surpassed Minato Namikaze was hard for her to believe.
But now even Orochimaru was saying it
