Hearing this, Tsunade's face remained unchanged.
She just looked at Jiraiya in front of her, recalling the past of the two from childhood to adulthood in her mind, and felt extremely emotional in her heart.
However.
After drinking a cup of tea, she slowly said: "Have you heard the rumors in the village about the Senju clan, Dan, and Nawaki?"
"That's fake, Tsunade!" Jiraiya's scalp tingled, but he still forced an explanation: "Those are just fake news fabricated by the Uchiha to strike at the village."
"Can the Uchiha produce evidence? How can you believe those things?"
"Don't be deceived!"
Jiraiya quickly explained. Of course, he had heard those rumors too.
However, he didn't believe them. In his opinion, those slanders were too exaggerated. Sarutobi Hiruzen was his teacher, and he knew that old man very well. Although he was indeed inhumane many times, he didn't believe the Uchiha's slanders.
So.
Seeing that Tsunade was also saying those words now, he immediately couldn't help but start explaining.
Even in his heart, he vaguely breathed a sigh of relief.
If Tsunade really defected to the Uchiha because of these small things, then he was really confident in persuading Tsunade to go back.
But, unfortunately.
Tsunade's eyes remained calm. After Jiraiya truly calmed down, she said in a very calm tone: "The Uchiha indeed cannot produce any evidence, but if we talk about evidence, I can actually produce it."
"What?" Jiraiya was surprised.
His face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.
On the other side.
Tsunade ignored Jiraiya and poured herself another cup of tea.
After simply sorting out her thoughts, she continued to speak calmly.
"In the years when the Senju had accidents and Dan and Nawaki died, I was actually investigating those things in secret, and I really found out some truths."
"Actually, I thought about revenge back then, but in the end, I gave up."
"Because I couldn't find any helpers worthy of trust. And back then, just when I was struggling with how to take revenge, the incident of Hatake Sakumo's suicide occurred."
"It was precisely because of that incident that I was completely scared, and it made me understand the old man's control over the village even more."
"It was also because I felt completely desperate about revenge and chilled by the old man and the others that I finally used hemophobia as an excuse and eventually left the village with Shizune."
"Because I was afraid that if I left Shizune in the village, she would eventually be killed directly by the old man."
"After all, Shizune doesn't have the name of Senju to protect her. Who knows if the old man would really kill the only seedling of Dan's family?"
After speaking.
Ignoring Jiraiya whose face changed drastically, Tsunade continued to sip the tea in front of her.
Although she used to drink alcohol often, now that she had truly entered the Uchiha clan and finally made a choice, she didn't like drinking much anymore.
On the contrary.
After being entertained by Uchiha Jin, she suddenly discovered that tea was indeed a good thing!
Jiraiya fell into deep thought.
His mind was blank now, and he didn't even know how to face Tsunade.
After a long silence, he asked doubtfully: "Why haven't I heard you mention it all these years?"
"You are not worthy of trust." Tsunade said calmly, and then slowly spoke: "Orochimaru knows about this matter."
"But in those years, the three of us didn't have enough power and reputation. Why do you think Orochimaru started to become completely like a cold poisonous snake after Nawaki's accident?"
"We talked about it back then. I remember Orochimaru said at the time that revenge was meaningless."
"Later I thought about it, too. Let alone how difficult revenge is, even if we really kill the old man, can Nawaki and Dan really come back to life?"
"Then Orochimaru entered Root, and I left the village directly."
"Actually, I have let go of it over the years. I just didn't want to see the old man and the others again. In fact, if you hadn't insisted on dragging me back to Konoha, I would never have come back unless the old man died."
"But, unfortunately."
"You still dragged me back. Seeing the old man's face again, the stifled anger in my heart rose again."
"Then coincidentally, I drank some wine tonight and happened to see the farce in the village. This made me very annoyed. In my opinion, the village shouldn't be like this!"
"It's full of intrigue and conspiracy everywhere..."
"The painstaking effort of my two grandfathers was to create a stable and peaceful village where children don't need to go to the battlefield."
"Look at the current Konoha?"
"The old immortals stay in the village every day, sending batches of children to the battlefield."
"I've had enough!"
"So you don't need to persuade me; it's impossible for me to return to the village."
"If I wasn't in the village when this happened, then I would be willing to pretend I didn't know about it and let these people in the village fight chaotically. Since I have been forcibly dragged back by you now."
"Then I don't mind settling new and old scores together!"
"So, you go back!"
Tsunade's face was full of disdain, venting all the stifled feelings in her heart in an instant.
Yes!
She had grudges against the village higher-ups, and even without the Uchiha's revelations, she actually knew these things long ago.
It was just for some reason that she reluctantly chose to let go.
Now, it was different!
Even if it was an unclear choice after drinking, she finally chose to stand on the Uchiha's side.
On the other side.
After listening to Tsunade's words, Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded.
What?
Tsunade had investigated these problems long ago, and Orochimaru also knew about these things, but neither of them discussed it with him?
This was unacceptable to him. After all, in Jiraiya's heart, Tsunade and Orochimaru were almost his true friends.
"This..."
"Tsunade, why?"
"Am I that unworthy of trust?"
Jiraiya was angry, his eyes full of displeasure.
This gave him a feeling of being betrayed. He didn't even have the mind to win over Tsunade, just wanting to know why Tsunade and Orochimaru excluded him?
In response to this.
Tsunade's face was calm, just saying calmly: "Because you have been brainwashed by the toads of Mount Myoboku. Look at the forehead protector on your head now; you even replaced the ninja forehead protector with the Mount Myoboku 'Oil' character forehead protector."
"Secondly, you guy, apart from avoiding things when encountering problems, can you really make up your mind to do anything?"
"You chose to avoid the matter of Minato and Kushina, and now you still choose to avoid the matter of your grand-disciple Uzumaki Naruto."
"With your character, who dares to truly trust you?"
