The Country of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village.

Tsunade took a little black-haired girl and sent her to the entrance of the ninja school.

"Shizune, you have to work hard today." Tsunade smiled fondly at the girl, squatted down and pushed aside her hair with her hands, revealing her smooth forehead.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" the little girl Shizune replied crisply, and the happy light in her eyes showed that she was not opposed to going to school.

"Good boy." Tsunade touched the girl's head and turned to the school teacher who was waiting nearby, "Shizune is also looking after you today."

"Shizune has always been very reassuring." The female teacher wearing glasses smiled and took Shizune from Tsunade's hand, "Tsunade-sama, walk slowly."

"Yeah." Tsunade waved her hand and left simply.

"I woke up too early today, and I forgot to comb my hair... By the way! If you have free time, let's go to the izakaya we saw yesterday." Tsunade strode towards the destination she had been dreaming about yesterday, her mouth already full of greed.

Got up.

Suddenly, there was a cold, needle-like stinging sensation on the side of her neck. Tsunade immediately stopped and turned her head with a slight frown. As expected, her bright brown eyes saw a tall man with long black hair.

A man nearly 1.8 meters tall with pale skin.

Half of his body was hidden in the shadow of the building, and he said hoarsely: "I see you are free every day."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Orochimaru, why are you suddenly willing to come out of your laboratory to find me?"

Orochimaru, who wore purple eyeshadow extending to his nose and whose pupils were like snakes, leaned lazily against the wall. Only half of his face could be seen by Tsunade. He raised the corners of his mouth and his voice was like a thin line across the paper: "Jirai

I stayed outside for too long, and Sarutobi-sensei and several advisors are very dissatisfied."

"So you want to drag me along to find Jiraiya?" Tsunade grinned and sneered, "That's not like you."

During the Second Ninja World War, after experiencing the baptism of war, Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who were the direct disciples of the Third Hokage, became famous in the Ninja World. They were even gifted by the leader of Amegakure Village, Sanshouyu Hanzo, known as the demigod.

They were given the name "Konoha Sannin" to show their strength and closeness.

However, this title that others think is powerful and glorious is a shame in the eyes of the Sannin. After all, they still lost the local war with Sanshou Hanzo together, if Sanshou Hanzo hadn't been afraid of the huge wood behind the three of them.

In Yeyin Village, there was also a feeling of pity for talents. The three of them probably died in that rain.

The "Sannin" are powerful, but they were given names by the stronger ones. The "Sannin" are close, but they drifted apart after the war.

The comrades who were supposed to be close to each other have now become high-level officials in the village and have more secrets of their own.

Tsunade could no longer understand the cold man in front of her. He huddled in his laboratory all day long and was very close to Danzo. Just as she didn't quite understand why Jiraiya was so interested in the "Child of Prophecy"

Persistence, wandering outside the village all day long.

Tsunade's face was smiling, but her eyes became complicated.

"Going to find Jiraiya?" Orochimaru laughed twice, "Don't make jokes like that, I'm here to help you."

"For your experiment? I don't have time. The Ninja Hospital is very busy." Tsunade waved her hand and refused without hesitation. She didn't want to get involved in Orochimaru's experiment at all.

Although she didn't ask about Orochimaru's affairs, she occasionally learned some things from others. Orochimaru's experiment may involve taboos. Let alone help, Tsunade could bear to ignore it as much as she could.

"Busy? I went to the hospital ten times and couldn't see you nine times." Orochimaru looked deeply at Tsunade and said regretfully, "If you don't plan to help, forget it."

After that, he was about to leave with the teleportation technique, but Tsunade's hand grabbed it directly. Orochimaru did not dodge, letting Tsunade grab his hand, and asked calmly: "What, you changed your mind?"

"Of course not, it's rare for old friends to meet up, let's go have a drink together." Tsunade approached with evil intentions and said with a smile, Orochimaru is simply the perfect wallet today.

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade indifferently. He shook off Tsunade's hand and left in an instant, leaving only a residual voice: "Boring."

"Tsk!" Tsunade withdrew her hand in annoyance, turned around and forgot about Orochimaru, and calmly found the izakaya that she had been dreaming about yesterday.

If it hadn't been for something really happening at the hospital yesterday, she would have been here long ago.

"Boss, serve the wine!" Tsunade shouted carelessly as soon as she walked into the small izakaya.

"Huh!? Here we come!" There was such a customer so early in the morning, and the boss was also shocked.

Soon, Tsunade was sitting at the wine table, tasting the side dishes and drinking the wine comfortably.

After the Second Ninja War, she had begun to get bored, or subconsciously avoid all things related to ninjas, and even wanted to leave the village like Jiraiya, wander freely, and never return to this sad place.

But being alone was too lonely, so Tsunade wanted to take Shizune with her. However, Shizune was still young and had not received enough basic education. It would be irresponsible to take her out of the village too early.

Tsunade looked at the bright red painting on the opposite wall, her body stiffened slightly, and then she laughed at herself and took a sip of wine: "Oh~ I don't know when I will be able to feel relaxed."

Not long after, Tsunade was surrounded by a bunch of wine bottles. Tsunade, who had no idea about restraint, drank until she was in a daze. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly saw a large area of ​​deep red rising up in front of her eyes like a sea tide.

Swallowing her, a world composed of gray mist appeared vaguely in front of her eyes.

It must be a dream... Tsunade didn't sense any danger. Being drunk and feeling light, she fell asleep with this thought in mind.

Above the gray fog.

Xie Mao couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes as he looked at the guy who had been pulled into the gray mist by him and was sleeping on the long bronze table with his head down before he could see his face clearly.

Did I pull you up to sleep?

There shouldn't be much time difference in the ninja world. It's still morning here, but is it late at night over there?

By the way, who are you? Through the gray fog, Xie Mao could vaguely see the woman who was sleeping soundly. She had light yellow long hair, and she was about 1.6 meters tall. She seemed to have a good figure, but because of her

As she was lying on her stomach, Xie Mao couldn't tell who she was.

You can't lift her face up to see it. It's not possible to see clearly with the gray fog blocking it...

When it was brighter again, the crimson light shrank like water, and the woman's figure suddenly became more blurry and unreal.

In less than a second, the figure projected by the "star" shattered on the seat, and the magnificent palace returned to silence.

"Speaking of which, I didn't even think about what to say before I pulled someone in. Well, to prepare for the next time I pull someone in, I should think of some suitable names."

Xie Mao was thinking about this, his body simulated a sinking feeling, and he suddenly fell down into the gray mist, returning to his room in the real world.

Unexpectedly, I met a strange guy on my first try... When Xie Mao shook his head in amusement, he found that his system had a few more updates:

[Item: Source Castle·Projection]

[Currently, you can invite the spiritual bodies of others to go above the gray mist to strengthen the "Fool" sequence ability, but you are temporarily unable to respond to prayers, sacrifices and gifts]

Xie Mao opened his eyes wide in surprise. What he had turned out to be just a projection of Origin Castle?

And he can’t answer prayers, sacrifices and gifts!?

His dream of building an item trading platform was shattered!

Xie Mao was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe and couldn't accept it at all.

Fortunately, in the text of the system description, the word "temporary" is written, which means that the future is promising and is not restricted.

This attempt is still valuable. At least some things have been clarified. Next time, you can try to pull the lady to see who can leave the deep red "stars" above the gray fog... Xie Mao

After thinking about it, I tidied up the room and found a small stack of silver cards.

This was a divination card that Uncle Sen took the time to make as soon as he requested it. It felt slightly cold to the touch, but the workmanship was exquisite.

Xie Mao sighed softly and turned around to go out.

He is going to visit Fenfu.

…………

"Hu~hu~"

Tsunade, who was deeply asleep, felt someone pushing her. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw the proprietress of the izakaya saying with a smile on her face: "Guest, it's already noon."

"Ah?" Tsunade reached out and patted her head, "So fast?"

"Yes." The landlady agreed.

Seeing the small wine bottles surrounding her, Tsunade, whose face was still flushed, laughed loudly: "Let's pay!"

She had brought enough money with her when she went out this time.

After paying the bill and going out, the midday sun shone on Tsunade's face, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to shield her from the sun. Her drunken brain finally sobered up.

"I seemed to have had an interesting dream. I saw a palace full of fog..." Tsunade frowned slightly, but she quickly put it behind her.
