Chapter 125 A Retired Elderly Man with a Happy Family
After finishing a day's escort work, Jiraiya stretched and walked towards the main street of Konoha.

He planned to eat some Ichiraku Ramen and then take a bath to relax. While satisfying his physical needs, he would also accumulate materials for next month's manuscript and give back to those lovely readers.

Unfortunately, readers were not interested in the "Legend of Perseverance" and only liked the customs guide.

This is difficult for him, an older virgin. He has to rely on fantasy to satisfy other people's fantasies every day. When will he be able to win Tsunade's heart?

Not long after Jiraiya left, he found Bai Ye following behind him. He coughed and said, "Brother Bai Ye, why did you follow me? Aren't you going back to the exchange group?"

"Brother Jiraiya, I'm here to keep an appointment. Didn't you invite me this morning?"

No... I'm just inviting you as a courtesy. Are you really coming? Just because I invite you to hang out doesn't mean you can come.

After looking around, Jiraiya gave up the idea of ​​rejecting Bai Ye.

Firstly, Bai Ye's identity is sensitive as he is a member of the exchange group. Secondly, if Bai Ye had a conflict with a ninja on the street, it would easily result in a river of blood.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya touched his head and said with a smile:

"I almost forgot, but you are still young and can't go to many interesting places. I can only take you around."

You can be a mercenary on the battlefield, but you can't drink or do anything else, right?

Bai Ye was too lazy to complain about the three taboos of ninja and just followed Jiraiya silently. He followed Jiraiya not for pornography, gambling or drugs, but to see if he could trigger any encounter.

After all, Konoha is not small, but it is not big either.

Jiraiya started shopping with Bai Ye and stayed in Konoha bathhouse for a long time. In the end, he gave up the need to take a bath. He didn't want to lose face for Konoha in front of the Hidden Rain Ninja.

If the news of the disappearance of the bathhouse that the Three Ninjas had inspected with the Amegakure envoy were to get out, they would be ridiculed for ten years.

After strolling around, Jiraiya brought Byakuya to the famous Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha, sat down directly at the stall at the door, and shouted to the hand-held boss: "Give me two bowls of super large ramen."

At this time, the boss was still a young man under 30 years old, and his daughter Acorus was only four or five years old.

After saying okay, Shouda started to get busy making ramen.

Bai Ye glanced at Shouda and the young Ayame, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Jiraiya, you just take me to eat this? The treatment Konoha provides to envoys is too low."

"The price of ramen here is 80 taels. You're not going to ask for 800 when you get reimbursed, are you?"

Having said that, Bai Ye showed a suspicious look.

"So it can be reimbursed?" Jiraiya was surprised, as if he had discovered a new world: "I thought you had to pay for it yourself, so I brought you here."

Looking at Jiraiya who accidentally revealed the truth, Bai Ye said seriously:

"You can definitely get reimbursement for receiving foreign envoys. Don't just say 800 taels instead of 800 taels. There are many people who report 8,000 taels. Brother Jiraiya, don't give up the opportunity to make money."

"I see." Jiraiya nodded slightly and asked curiously, "Does everyone in the Hidden Rain Village do this? Do you often over-reimburse like this?"

Bai Ye shook his head: "No, I am responsible for dealing with these people. I will kill them if they need to be killed."

Jiraiya suddenly didn't want to talk to Bai Ye. He thought he had discovered a trick to get rich, but Bai Ye was just telling him a joke.

At this time, the Third Hokage opened the door curtain and sat next to Bai Ye. "Bai Ye, you are right. When facing such villains who harm the interests of the village, strict rules should be formulated to punish them."

"Who are you?" Bai Ye knew the identity of the person who came, but he still asked despite knowing the answer.

"Give me a bowl of ramen..." The Third Hokage first shouted towards the kitchen, and then began to introduce himself: "I am the former Hokage of Konoha, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, you can call me grandpa or Hokage."

Bai Ye ignored the Third Hokage and said to Jiraiya:
"Brother Jiraiya, this uncle pretends to be the Third Hokage. He is your teacher. Don't you want to stop it?"

Jiraiya said helplessly: "Brother Bai Ye, he is my teacher, the Third Hokage himself, not someone else in disguise."

Bai Ye nodded and said in confusion: "But why did the Third Generation Uncle look for me? If you want to exchange and cooperate, please find Yahiko. He is the person in charge of the exchange group. I am just making up the numbers."

The Third Hokage did not answer Bai Ye immediately, but was wondering about the way Jiraiya and Bai Ye addressed each other.

Brother, this is too outrageous. There is at least a 20-year age difference between you two, and your own seniority has been lowered.

Jiraiya seemed to see the doubt in the Sandai's mind and reminded him, "Old man, Bai Ye is Hanzo's disciple."

After hearing Jiraiya's reminder, the Third Hokage suddenly realized that Hanzo was indeed of the same age as him. From this point of view, the seniority was correct.

Signaling Jiraiya to step back with his eyes, the Third Hokage said to Bai Ye: "The Fourth Hokage is in charge of communication and cooperation. I have retired a long time ago. You are just a ninja who is just making up the numbers."

“No wonder you have time to wander around…”

Bai Ye muttered something, then pointed in the direction where Jiraiya left and said, "Uncle Sandai, Brother Jiraiya just ordered something but didn't pay. Remember to help pay for it."

At this time, the hand that brought the ramen hit the boss and said hurriedly: "It is a good thing that Sandaime-sama and Jiraiya-sama came to our restaurant to eat, so you don't have to pay."

"How can this work?"

The Third Hokage touched the pocket on his waist, took out some change and placed it on the table, then said: "Even if you are a Hokage, you still have to pay for your meals. This is the rule of the village."

The boss took a look at the bills that were obviously the wrong amount, took it and walked towards the kitchen.

Bai Ye caught a glimpse of this scene and thought to himself that the Third Generation was really stingy. He could either get it for free by using the identity of Hokage, or he could pay for the ramen.

Is paying half the price like eating ramen in installments?
The Third Hokage naturally didn't care about these details. He took the opportunity when Bai Ye was eating ramen to ask, "Bai Ye, what is your impression of Konoha?"

As a Hokage, even though he was the former Hokage, the Third Hokage's actions were politically biased.

The reason why he chose to get close to Bai Ye was to sound out Bai Ye and see if he could make Bai Ye his own.

Bai Ye answered while eating ramen: "It's OK, much better than other ninja villages."

The Third Hokage raised a faint smile and asked, "Can you tell me about the philosophy of your Akatsuki organization?"

Bai Ye put down his chopsticks, looked at the Third Hokage and said:

"Of course you can, but the way the Third-generation uncle asks questions is too crude. If you want to find out the information about the exchange group and the Hidden Rain Village, you can just ask directly. There is no need to go through so much trouble."
