"I don't think the cost of his future predictions is as high as he claims. Why don't we let him predict it? That way, we'd have a better grasp of the situation."
After Adam left, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with some confusion.
Regarding Adam's claim that predicting the future would consume life, although she couldn't confirm it, she knew in her heart that there must be something fishy about it, and it couldn't be as serious as Adam described.
Especially today, Adam was quite proactive about predicting the future, which further confirmed her suspicions.
Thinking about it carefully, Adam was, after all, from another World, not someone who grew up in Konoha Village. Why should he help them so much? Even for Ninjutsu, he wouldn't pay such a high price.
Furthermore, summarizing all of Adam's actions since he came to Konoha.
It could be seen that Adam was never a soft-hearted person, nor one to suffer losses. On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent and shrewd.
Adam's gift-giving and social tactics might fool Naruto and Sakura, but they wouldn't easily deceive seasoned old-timers like them.
It was just that, so far, Adam had only done things beneficial to Konoha, which was why she was willing to tacitly engage in some equivalent exchange cooperation.
"Are you worried he'll ask for too much Konoha Ninjutsu? Actually, giving it to him doesn't matter, since he's not from this World anyway."
"No, I'm not worried he'll take too much Konoha Ninjutsu. I'm worried there won't be enough Ninjutsu when the time comes."
Jiraiya shook his head:
"Tsunade, for a master like Adam, ordinary Ninjutsu holds no appeal. Even in Konoha, I don't think there are many Ninjutsu that would catch his eye.
Each one we give away is one less we have. When we no longer have Ninjutsu to exchange, he might not be willing to help anymore.
Moreover, he's not an ordinary master; he possesses the ability to predict the future and discern one's life or death.
There will be many, many more instances where we'll need his help in the future.
Therefore, I believe that unless it's absolutely necessary for him to act, we should try our best not to ask for his help.
Now I'm already on guard. I'll be even more careful when infiltrating Amegakure tomorrow. If there's any problem, I'll retreat decisively and try not to summon him for help.
That way, we can save another opportunity."
What Tsunade could see through, he naturally could too.
However, compared to Tsunade, he did consider the possibility that what Adam said was true, and that prophecy would reduce life.
Considering both aspects, he had always prevented Adam from making predictions.
Hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Tsunade finally realized that while Konoha had many Ninjutsu, only a few would likely appeal to Adam.
If Adam took them all, whether he would be willing to help in the future would truly be an unknown.
In fact, Jiraiya was more suitable for the Naruto position than she was. In terms of both strength and intellect, Jiraiya surpassed her.
When the Third Hokage chose the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya was the first choice, but Jiraiya was unwilling and instead recommended his disciple Minato to be the Fourth Hokage.
After the Third Hokage's death, his dying wish was for Jiraiya to be the Fifth Generation. Besides Danzo, the other Advisors in the Village also intended for Jiraiya to be the Fifth Generation. However, Jiraiya still refused and found her to inherit the Fifth Generation.
"Come back alive, Jiraiya. Otherwise, I will…"
After finishing their drinks, it was already dusk. The two came to a bench by the river and sat down. Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who was getting up to leave, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
For her, in the entire Konoha Village, Jiraiya was the only true confidant she had left.
With decades of friendship since childhood, she was truly afraid that Jiraiya would leave and never return.
"Hahaha, will you cry for me? As sad as you were for Dan, then I'd be so happy!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily at her words.
He had liked Tsunade for decades, ever since they were together in the Ninja Academy.
"Idiot!"
Tsunade, uncharacteristically, only responded softly, without punching Jiraiya away.
And Jiraiya, with his back to Tsunade, laughed and said:
"Then let's make a bet with your favorite gambling. You bet that I'll die this time, since you always lose your bets.
But, when I come back… you'll be willing… Hahaha, I'm just kidding, if I really can't win, there's still Adam to help."
Jiraiya laughed heartily, waving as he walked towards Konoha's gate.
He originally wanted to say, "Marry me when I come back," but in the end, he didn't say it.
"Fool."
Watching Jiraiya's disappearing figure, Tsunade softly cursed again.
At the same time, Adam, who was in the school dormitory, was also looking at the two proposals Susan had sent him in his inbox.
One was a proposal for the League of Heroes game, and the other was a proposal for the World's Greatest Ability User Tournament.
After reading them, he also summarized and wrote down some of his own ideas.
Firstly, the various hero characters in the League of Heroes game could not only use the currently famous Superheroes from the company, but also include outstanding contestants after the World's Greatest Ability User Tournament ends.
This includes villain characters, who can also be included.
This way, there will be no shortage of new hero updates in the future. New Superheroes will always join the company, and new contestants will always appear every three years.
The same goes for villains. Every time a relatively famous and powerful villain is defeated, they can be added as a new hero, just like Apocalypse before, and Magneto and others who are currently imprisoned at the school.
In the later stages, more games, comics, novels, and animations can be developed from this, so that humans will become accustomed to these things, and there will no longer be any barriers or fears.
Secondly, regarding the World's Greatest Ability User Tournament, he felt that it should adopt some of the methods and rules from the Tenkaichi Budokai in dragon ball, and be held on a small island near New York.
Then, welcome everyone worldwide to watch, and start a global live broadcast, the more sensational, the better.
As for the prize money for participating, as long as one passes the preliminary round, they can receive prize money. The further one progresses, the higher the prize money, and the first place winner, in addition to prize money, also receives various benefits.
Ability Users also need to eat. Even those who, like Iron Man, don't care about prize money, will participate in such a high-profile event.
Even if one doesn't care about fame or fortune, there will always be worries. As long as one becomes the first place winner, they can make a request to the organizer, League of Heroes, and the organizer will fully endeavor to fulfill it.
Becoming the first place winner, with the strength of the League of Heroes and the abilities of various Superheroes, almost any wish can be fulfilled.
This aspect can be exaggerated in promotion, the more exaggerated, the better.
Anyway, the condition to become first place is definitely to defeat him, the Saiyan Superman. As the strongest Superhero of the League of Heroes, he himself will, of course, participate.
The bigger the gimmick, the more attention it will attract, and the more sensational it will be.
