Chapter 20 - 20. I Will Never Accept Jiraiya!

"I would accept Jiraiya?"

"I hinted at a relationship with him?"​​

Somewhere in the shinobi world, Tsunade looked at the analysis, lost in thought.

If she understood correctly, the space's analysis meant that at that time, she had become the Fifth Hokage, and Jiraiya went out on a mission to help her and made an agreement with her.

If he came back, she would accept him.

No, maybe... It was a decision made by herself, and Jiraiya didn't know.

And so... he died!

Two tears unwillingly shed, leaving two clear water marks on her face.

Sure enough, people close to her would die.

Tsunade looked up at the sky, no one could tell how she felt. She just wanted to cry for a while, but Shizune was still behind her.

The sadness of being an adult was such that sometimes one couldn't even cry as much as one wanted to.

"Tsunade-sama, did Jiraiya-sama miss the opportunity... to teach the three children?"

After listening to Shizune's words behind her, Tsunade thought of Jiraiya, who had always teased her since their first class together, and it warmed her heart.

'That guy, as he said, only liked me in this life?'

"Shizune, it's a thing of the past, who knows? "

Tsunade's voice rang out quietly. She didn't know about the situation that the space was talking about.

But at the beginning, when Jiraya was ready to stay, she was reluctant...

And he tried to persuade her.

After returning to the village, Dan appeared ...

'If...'

"No!"

"No!"

"I would approve of Jiraiya? No way! He's been taunting me since I was a kid! Why else would I have developed the Strength of a Hundred Seal technique!"

"Impossible!"

"Never!"

Tsunade shook her head like a rattle.

They were both old. If they came together, wouldn't she have to give birth at old age?

Although she was the most prestigious medical shinobi in the Shinobi world and had experience in delivering babies, how could she have experience giving birth?

Moreover, she knew that, though Jiraya looked so wild and had produced a nice little perverted book, he was very clean and pure.

'To this day, he's still a virgin!'

"I'm not going to marry Jiraiya, not in this lifetime. I'm just going to go back and inherit the Fifth Hokage position and deal with intrigue with those old guys every day. I won't ever marry!"

After saying that, Tsunade glanced at the smile on Shizune's face and couldn't help but add to it.

"Unless Jiraiya could fly in the sky, unless Orochimaru became a woman, unless Akatsuki destroyed Konoha, and unless the moon falls down!

Otherwise, I, Senju Tsunade, will never have anything to do with him!"

"Ah?"

Shizune had a frustrated look on her face. 'That's too much!'

Although she was a relative of Tsunade's ex-boyfriend, after years of getting along together, Shizune sincerely hoped that Tsunade could build a family. In Shizune's view, Jiraiya was definitely the best candidate.

He was somewhat handsome, rich, and a veteran. Most importantly, he spoiled and followed whatever Tsunade-sama said.

...

"Can someone tell me what Sage Mode is?"

In the Land of Iron, Mifune looked around and felt his head hurt.

'How did that group of troublemakers develop a new jutsu?'

'I wonder if they used seals or not ...'

The Land of Iron was a neutral country. There were no shinobi villages in this country, only samurai.

Samurai don't use jutsu.

The reason why they were able to remain neutral among the shinobi countries and were not invaded was solely because, to some extent, their force exceeded that of the shinobi.

For example, ... below Chūnin.

Below Chūnin, a shinobi's seal speed wasn't as fast as their sword-swinging speed, so there was no chance for them to display their jutsu, which was the main reason why they could defeat shinobi.

Otherwise, when the shinobi fought with jutsu, even he couldn't be their opponent.

However, this balance would be lost at the Jōnin level. A Jōnin's strength and seal-forming speed far exceeded the reaction speed of ordinary samurai, and when the two compete, the latter would definitely lose.

Fortunately, the number of Jōnin in the Shinobi world wasn't very large.

There weren't many jutsu without hand seals.

After all, not everyone could start up a jutsu without using seals.

Not everyone could clap their hands and shout whatever they wanted.

Therefore, after the live broadcast appeared, Mifune and other samurai were watching coldly.

They had to admit, watching from the sidelines, watching those shinobi fight each other, their hearts were filled with a sense of superiority.

But now, Mifune couldn't sit still.

"Sage Mode ... Sage Mode..."

The more he uttered the words, the more he felt unsure.

"Someone! Inform the people below. We are going to take a trip to Konohagakure in two days."

"Yes!"

...

"Hahahaha, it seems that I'm going to die in your hands."

Jiraiya grinned broadly and waved his hand at Nagato, unconcerned with the results.

The analysis said, at that time, he refused to escape after using the Sage Mode to obtain the information on Rinnegan.

'It's different now...'

'I know I can't beat you. Why would I still fight you?'

'Am I that hard-headed?'

Jiraiya looked at the Uzumaki Naruto answer.

'A child I personally selected ...?'

'Is he the child, the Great Toad Sage, prophesied about?'

'A little guy who could bring peace to the shinobi world?'

'The destined child!'

Jiraiya couldn't wait to see the little guy.

'I think a red-haired, hot-tempered little guy would be raised well by the Third.'

'After all, he is an orphan of the Fourth, not to mention his mother is Kushina. The couple had paid too much for Konoha.'

'I just hope he isn't raised to be a spoiled rich kid... sigh...'

Jiraiya was worried that the Third Hokage would raise Naruto into an overbearing little village tyrant.

After all, it would add a lot of challenges to his teachings.

'But ...'

Even if he had to suffer, he would turn him into an excellent ninja!

'After all!'

'I'm Jiraiya!'

'On teaching students, in the whole shinobi world, no one would say they were better than me!'

The proud Jiraiya's eyes continued down the analysis and suddenly froze.

"Tsunade! Tsunade accepted me?"

Smack!

Jiraiya threw a slap at his own face as he let out an audible 'oomph', covering his red and swollen face with surprise in his eyes.

Surprise, giddiness, maddening joy swept over him in an instant.

Jiraiya's feet were dancing on the ground, happy as a child who had gotten a New Year's gift.

He looked around, looking for someone to share his joy with.

"Itachi! Tsunade promised me!! Let's go back to Konoha, and I'll treat you to a meal someday! "

"Oh~hoho, Orochimaru, don't get distracted, look up!"

Jiraiya threw himself at Orochimaru's head and forced it to look up.

"See, Tsunade accepted me!"

"You slap yourself and see if it hurts. I just did, and it isn't a dream!"

"By the way, by the way, didn't you say that if I could get Tsunade, you would call me honorable father?"

"You don't have to be my son. Just take Tsunade's surname, follow your mother, Senju Orochimaru."

"Ah, I think it sounds good!"

Wham!

"Oomph!!"

...

The shinobi world.

Seeing Jiraiya's silly appearance, Tsunade's eyes turned red and sour, and her tears flowed down consciously.

Just how deep was the love that could make him so persistent?

Her heart warmed up as if a sun had been filling it up inside.

"Humph~ fool!"

While talking, her pair of beautiful eyes fell on Jiraiya.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

When the exam space was done, would the space pull them in together?

He could enter the answer space. Could it be that he was right next to Akatsuki?

'Shit!'

'Jiraiya is in danger!'

'I can't let him die!'

"Shizune, come on, let's go back to Konoha right now. Jiraiya is in danger!"

"Ah?"

Shizune was stunned. 'Didn't you want to rest?'

'Why do you want to return to Konoha right now?'

'Besides, didn't you say that you had nothing to do with Jiraiya-sama ...?'
