Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#349 - Return to Konoha

"What did Orochimaru say to you?"

On the way back to Tanabata Street, Jiraiya, who was late, asked curiously from the side.

"Orochimaru said he wanted the method of immortal arts training, and said he would pay any price for it."

Liang Yue replied with a look of indifference.

"Then what did you say?"

Tsunade frowned upon hearing this.

"I asked him to return to Konoha, and then you guys came."

Liang Yue smiled and said.

"Well... this condition is actually ~"

Jiraiya next to him heard this, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously touched his chin, obviously feeling that Liang Yue's approach was quite reliable.

After all, he had also put in a lot of effort to bring back his old classmate, and in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope that the other party would return to Konoha.

Now Liang Yue's approach provided him with a good idea.

If persuasion doesn't work, then lure him with benefits~!

Tsunade, who was on the side, seemed a little silent after hearing this, and continued to ask after a moment.

"What are the benefits of cultivating your kind of immortal arts?"

"The effect is great. First of all, your chakra will evolve from being synthesized only from within the body to being synthesized with natural energy, no longer consuming your own body's energy.

I have a deep understanding of this. You know, before this, I knew the immortal arts training method of Mount Myōboku, but that thing is no match for the immortal arts invented by Chunqiu!"

After hearing Tsunade's words, before Liang Yue could speak, Jiraiya on the side seemed very active, and after a burst of boasting, he inadvertently revealed his old secrets~

"In addition, you will also get a chance to be infused and strengthened by natural energy, roughly similar to using the immortal arts of the Three Great Sage Lands, but that strengthening is permanent.

That powerful natural energy will expel waste from the body, and may even make you rejuvenate. Look at me~ Don't I look a lot younger now? Let me tell you~

This is the result I just achieved before coming to Tanabata Street!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to his old face and showed Tsunade his smooth skin...

"So, you have also cultivated his kind of immortal arts?"

Tsunade looked him up and down carefully at this time, and said with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"Yes! But~ don't think that anyone can learn that thing. It requires opportunity, mental state, and necessary guidance! That guy~

You don't know the scene at that time! At the moment I broke through, I suddenly felt transparent, as if I was connected to nature, and the surrounding energy kept pouring into my body!

But that process was very suitable, and there was no risk. In just one night, I had a qualitative improvement, and ah~ I originally felt.

My body should start to decline in another two or three years, but after this, that time should be pushed back at least thirty or forty years! Hehe~ Awesome, right!"

Jiraiya's eyes were narrowed into two slits at this time, like a white-haired fox who had stolen grapes.

Liang Yue, who was next to him, couldn't help shaking his head, secretly saying that this old guy was really asking for it.

"So, as long as you successfully cultivate Chunqiu's immortal arts, a person's physical condition will return to its peak, and life expectancy will also be extended?"

Tsunade lowered her head at this time and touched her fist.

"Yes! How about it, awesome, right!"

"I'm awesome your head!"

"Ouch~ hiss! Why are you hitting me?"

"You guy! You told me before that the Third Hokage was dying! Now he can extend his life again!??"

"Hey~! Wait a minute! Wait a minute~! Let me sort it out first, what did I say before, that~ what, Chunqiu, what did you say at that time?"

"I didn't say anything at the time."

As soon as Liang Yue's words fell, Tsunade's old fist was delivered to Jiraiya's face again, followed by a brutal beating.

Shizune and Naruto were trembling beside them.

Liang Yue was able to understand this, after all, a woman in her fifties is indeed at menopause...

......

In the next few days, under Jiraiya's deathly pale apologies and entanglement, and under the encirclement and interception of Naruto, the little blondie, using the gambling agreement as an excuse.

"What!?? You want me to be this kid's teacher?"

Tsunade said with a face full of amusement and surprise, looking at the Third Hokage behind the desk.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had removed his previous disguise and completely returned to his prime, with a lean figure, wearing the Hokage hat, and the original old age spots and wrinkles on his face had long disappeared.

However, the confidence of being wise and strong in old age on his face has not diminished at all~

"That's right~ Chunqiu here, although he is a genius, he is still young and lacks experience, and needs to be guided. Tsk~ Didn't Jiraiya tell you about this before?"

The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya beside him with some strangeness.

"I didn't have time to say it, the situation was a bit complicated at the time... I only came to tell Tsunade about returning to take over as Hokage."

Jiraiya replied with a smile, a whole week had passed, but there was still a faint blue bruise on this guy's eye sockets.

"He also said that you were about to die, saying that you had exhausted your vitality in the previous battle with Orochimaru and were lying in bed unable to move."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a look of disgust at this time, and then looked at the Third Hokage opposite.

"Oh? Hahahaha~ Isn't that to persuade you to come back? Now it's good, Tsunade, now that you're back, I can also unload the burden on my body and live a few years of stable life."

The Third Hokage took a puff of his smoking pipe and said with a smile.

"I heard that after cultivating immortal arts, you can live for many more years, why not retire a few years later."

Tsunade was silent for a while, then looked at the Third Hokage.

"That won't work, I've been in the position of Hokage for too long, it's time for newcomers to take the stage, and besides, if it wasn't for the Fourth Hokage sacrificing to protect existence more than ten years ago.

I would have retired many years ago, and now although I can accidentally live for a while longer, my heart is already tired."

Saying that, the Third Hokage put the Hokage hat on his head on the table, and then said with a serious face.

"Let's decide that way, choose a day, and Tsunade, you will take over and officially become the Fifth Hokage! With us old guys dragging behind you, you can rest assured and boldly do it!"

"...Give me some more time."

Tsunade frowned and replied at this time, and then looked at Liang Yue, who had been sitting there quietly, and turned to him.

"What do you want to learn from me? I estimate that I can't teach you ninjutsu, being able to draw with Orochimaru is completely enough to graduate."

"...The Summoning Technique of Shikkotsu Forest."

Liang Yue heard the words, thought for a while, and replied.

"Don't you already have your own immortal arts? Do you still want to learn Slug's?"

"I heard that the natural energy over there in the Three Great Sage Lands is more abundant."
