Chapter 233

"I really couldn't tell, Lord Jiraiya is actually such a deep-feeling person!"

"Yeah, looking at his usual perverted appearance, I never imagined he would be so deep-feeling toward Lady Tsunade!"

"I'm so envious! Lady Tsunade is silently liked by Lord Jiraiya, always silently protected by him, letting her always enjoy the feeling of being loved and cared for.

Honestly, Lady Tsunade is so happy..."

"To like someone for decades as if it were the first day, never forgetting his original intention—Lord Jiraiya is truly rare..."

In the viewing area, everyone was moved by Jiraiya's deep feelings!

Of course, there were also many who deeply envied Tsunade!

"Although he looks a bit unreliable, I didn't expect him to be such a devoted man!"

Even Miroku, who had opinions about Jiraiya just a moment ago, couldn't help but offer a compliment!

"Why bother, Jiraiya! You know, Tsunade might never be able to let go for her whole life; why do you insist!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew Tsunade well, said leisurely!

"Teacher is right, Jiraiya, you..."

Tsunade lowered her head and said with some guilt!

But before she could finish, Jiraiya interrupted her in advance!

"If my gaze follows you with intoxicated joy,

following you until you disappear from my sight,

if I hear your words, my heart is filled with happiness

—what does this have to do with you?

If you are my star, casting radiance upon my pitch-black

road of life, if you are my dazzling sun,

if I am good to you, what does this have to do with you?

If you are the god I secretly revere, I trust you deeply

and build an altar for you in the bottom of my heart,

if I love you, what does this have to do with you?

If I ask nothing of you, then you must also tolerate everything I imagine for you in the curling incense smoke;

no matter what suffering I endure, it is not your fault, even if I die for it!

It has nothing to do with you."

Jiraiya didn't answer Tsunade's words directly but recited a poem!

"But..."

Tsunade still wanted to say something, but Jiraiya interrupted her in advance!

"I like you, that is my choice, and you not choosing me is likewise your freedom; you don't need to feel guilty!"

"......"

Actually, it wasn't that Tsunade didn't like Jiraiya! But she still couldn't cross the hurdle in her heart!

In the future, just when Tsunade had finally let go of her knot and was prepared to accept Jiraiya, Jiraiya sacrificed himself in Amegakure!

Although they were reborn now and Jiraiya had been resurrected, her knot had become even more severe!

She was very afraid—afraid that once she let go of her knot and accepted him, Jiraiya would disappear from her world again, just like in the future!

So she didn't dare to try easily...

Jiraiya naturally understood, but he didn't want to force Tsunade, nor did he want to make Tsunade feel guilty!

So he attempted to use this poem to tell Tsunade:

—Everything I do has nothing to do with you!

"The poem is not bad..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly!

Regarding Tsunade's knot, the people present could guess the gist of it!

Seeing Jiraiya so persistent, everyone didn't say anything more!

"Speaking of which, the 'dead last' of Konoha are all very devoted; wouldn't you agree, Obito!"

Orochimaru looked at Obito and Rin standing not far away and said!

"What does it have to do with you? Have you never been beaten by a 'dead last' before?"

Uchiha Obito said with a bad expression!

Just at this moment, Obito suddenly felt an exceptionally familiar feeling coming toward him!

Obito looked around; no one else had any abnormalities, and after a moment of thought, he understood what was going on!

"Kushina-nee, could you please play the Memory Orb!"

Obito said seriously!

If he wasn't mistaken, that just now should have been the Sage of Six Paths!

Because Obito himself had been the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki for a period of time, he was very sensitive to this kind of feeling!

Although he didn't know why the Sage of Six Paths had come, Obito felt it should be related to the Memory Orb!

Kushina looked at Obito, then said nothing, directly placed her hand on the Memory Orb, injected chakra, and then the image began to play slowly...

【In the video, Naruto is lying on the bed with a sad expression!

At this time, someone outside the window is knocking on the window!】

【"Ah, what is it! It's Kakashi-sensei!"】

Naruto said listlessly!

"Eh!"

Seeing this, Orochimaru was a bit puzzled; clearly, he hadn't discovered this memory segment before!

And Yakushi Kabuto, who also discovered the abnormality, looked at Orochimaru; the master and disciple looked at each other, then, as if thinking of something, they looked at Obito thoughtfully, and then refocused their attention on the video!

【"Eh, it's Toad Boss and Gamakichi?"】

【"Yo, Naruto!"】

【"Why are you here so early in the morning? Did something happen?"】

【"Actually!"】

【"Gamakichi, don't say things you shouldn't; leave it to Boss and Tsunade!"】

In the video, Naruto and Kakashi walked to the entrance of the Hokage Building, saw Toad Gamabunta and his son, and then Naruto began to talk to Gamakichi; before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Toad Gamabunta!

"Isn't this the video from when Naruto heard the news of Jiraiya's death? Why would it be played here?"

In the Hokage Building, Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled!

Hearing Tsunade's words, the people present looked toward Obito's side, whether intentionally or unintentionally!

And Obito's expression remained as usual, as if he hadn't noticed everyone's gazes at all!

【"What exactly happened?"】

Naruto muttered!

【"Alright, let's go!"】

To avoid Naruto letting his imagination run wild, Kakashi urged Naruto!

Looking at Kakashi's back, a flash of an ominous feeling crossed Naruto's mind!

Walking into the Hokage's office, Naruto gently closed the door, then turned his head to look at everyone!

At this time, in the Hokage's office, besides Kakashi, there were also Tsunade, Haruno Sakura, Sai, Shizune, and Toad Fukasaku! ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
