Chapter 329: Breaking the Ice
"Hmph, come on, come on, hit me, you hit me~"
Naruto, who didn't notice the strange change in Orochimaru's expression, naturally had a more playful smile in his eyes when he faced the "Spiral Pill Warning" that was also annoyed and angry. And while his facial muscles were shaking, he tried to suppress the smug smile that overflowed with words. While spreading his hands, he continued without fear.
"If you dare to beat me, I'll go and sue Grandpa Sandaime Hokage!"
"Hiss......?! You stinky boy, can you endure it? Have you learned to sue? β
Originally, he was just going to scare and scare Naruto, so that from the beginning to the end, Jiraiya, who had no intention or willingness to hurt Naruto's half a hair, was helpless after seeing Naruto's fearless appearance. Immediately, Naruto stared at him, and while he was quite spoiled and helpless, he retorted with a "vicious" threat in order to save his face.
"If you have the ability, don't make a small report to the old man! If it's a man, come with me, in a man's way, and ...... in a dignified manner."
It's a pity that between the words, Zilai is too underestimated......
Since childhood, in all kinds of rumors, the reason why he has been able to survive unharmed to this day...... In addition to the superb acting skills that he gradually cultivated in order to avoid various threats in the process. Another reason is that Naruto has a cheeky face that can be called heartless. So much so that in this occasion, where there is no shortage of meat, Naruto's bottom line is so low that no one can imagine!
"Hmm...... However, Grandpa Jiraiya...... I'm just a little boy, I'm not a man, am I? When someone is bullied, immediately complain to the elders and complain, shouldn't it be the normal practice of children? β
No, it's not ...... Before Jiraiya finished finishing his pretentious words, Naruto, who had already expected it, winked at the person at the same time, and followed the text loopholes that existed between Jiraiya's subconscious words, his face was not red or panting, and his face was full of innocent teasing and teasing. And then in the case of being speechless and choking, he unexpectedly rebelled against the army!
ββ¦β¦ You...... I...... Hiss ......"
I didn't expect that at this juncture, Naruto would be so "brazen" and pretend to be innocent. So much so that during the conversation, because of Naruto's overly mature words and deeds, Naruto is just a milk doll who is not even a teenager, has long been under the influence of subtle influence, and has forgotten all about it, and suddenly fell into an embarrassing state of always feeling that something is wrong, but he can't think of a reason to refute it at all. After a moment of stunned silence, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the increasingly strong smile in Naruto's eyes, and at the same time, he suddenly woke up and gave up the idea of digging his own grave to continue the war with Naruto.
"Damnββ! Okay, okay, you've won! I won't say it! β
Of course, admitting defeat is admitting defeat, and he has not been idle......
No, no, it was almost at the first moment that the bold words that were deliberately elongated in the intonation blurted out. Jiraiya, who pretended to be angry and ruined, straightened up his waist. And while shouting, he turned around naturally, and walked away quickly in the direction away from Tsunade for a moment.
It's not that after years of fruitless love, Jiraiya's feelings for Tsunade have changed. So much so that under Naruto's deliberate push and instigation, he didn't think of how to propose and confess, but tried his best to stay away from it......
It's because, even Jilai knows that the current Tsunade does have a good chance of success in accepting and responding to his feelings......
But as soon as it came, the successive deaths of the rope tree and the broken tree not only became a heart disease that Tsunade had lasted for many years. is even more in the case of thinking about Tsunade everywhere, and quietly, it has become a cliff between the two people. So much so that between the two, the ambiguous relationship between the two should be like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, which will be broken at the first stab. At this moment, it is as if it has been strengthened by the eternal and unchanging absolute zero, and it is difficult to shake it in the slightest. is even more under the obstacle of this estrangement, so that the two people who understand each other's thoughts are in each other's hearts, but from beginning to end, no one dares to take the initiative to take that step again.
Secondly...... Even subconsciously, a strong desire to survive is at work.
After all, judging from Jiraiya's old knowledge and understanding of Tsunade...... Tsunade, the arrogant slug princess, has always responded to Jiraiya's confession declaration with an iron fist of "love"!
What's more, in front of everyone's eyes, Xiang Gang's white thing, since he was young before, it is not that he did not do it. It's just that after doing this, what is the ending......
Well, that is, in the case of Tsunade being annoyed and angry, causing the shot to forget to retain a bit of strange power. Of the twenty-four ribs of Jean Jiraiya, four or five were broken. Coupled with some other miscellaneous serious injuries, Jiraiya was in the intensive care unit of Konoha Ninja Village, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, and lay pitifully for more than ten days......
Of course, this is still when the guilty Tsunade does his best to heal Jiraiya afterwards, so that he can get better so quickly. Otherwise, let alone shine in the Third Ninja World War. I'm afraid that I have to lie on the hospital bed for a month, and I won't have time at all, so I will leave the village with Tsunade and Orochimaru to carry out the mission. It is even more unlikely that the three of them will join forces to fight against Sanshoyu Hanzo and obtain the dazzling name of the now world-famous Konoha Sannin.
In other words, no matter what you think about proposing to Tsunade in public, you can only come to one conclusion - that is to kill yourself! So much so that when he threatened Naruto fiercely, Jiraiya had already known Naruto in his understanding of Naruto, and at the same time knew that this stinky boy who had made up his mind would never change his mind. I was secretly thinking about how to get out and escape naturally.
It's a pity that Jiraiya's little abacus is destined to be in vain under Naruto's gaze...... Even in a sense, Jiraiya's subconscious choice to retreat and escape from the appearance was exactly in Naruto's hands!
Because, Naruto was not the only one who was watching Jiraiya...... Don't forget, as one of the parties involved in this long-distance love run that has been entangled for decades, Tsunade, who plays the role of the heroine, is also paying attention to Jiraiya's every move at all times. Because of this, almost as soon as Jiraiya showed the idea of retreating and escaping, he was clearly seen by Tsunade.
And Jiraiya's move full of a strong desire to survive, if it were placed on weekdays, Tsunade might not care much, and even think that it was a wise move by Jiraiya......
But after experiencing a series of stimuli deliberately arranged by Naruto, and not long ago, he "overheard" that the only request for Jiraiya to stay a few more days was not to mention success or failure, and only needed Jiraiya to propose to Tsunade in front of everyone to confess such a "simple" goal. The meaning of Jiraiya's move, in Tsunade's eyes, suddenly changed a little.
You know, after Naruto's deliberate stimulation and knowing that Jiraiya is by his side, there is such a fierce rival as the female ninja of Nadeshiko Village. Tsunade, whose mood has long been vacillating from side to side, naturally can no longer be as confident as before, and he will definitely spoil and indulge Tsunade's willful actions endlessly from beginning to end. I can't imagine that Jiraiya chose to return to the village and leave Tsunade with the situation...... When we meet again, will Jiraiya continue to wait for Tsunade silently like now.
Because of this, after witnessing the subconscious retreat and evasion of Zilai. Undoubtedly, the concern in Tsunade's heart, which is spreading rapidly and rapidly, is further exacerbating the impact. In this state of worry, the originally normal choice of Jiraiya is naturally mistaken for an omen signal of rejection and resistance to Tsunade!
And this is also the scene that Naruto is most looking forward to seeing under his calculations.
"Hehe, are you in a hurry, are you afraid? If you don't take the initiative, you will be a fairy, but you will really become a good husband in someone else's family~"
After tilting his head a little and using the corner of his eye to look at Tsunade, who looked more and more wrong for a while, Naruto, who seemed to have a normal face, had a plan in his heart, and he was already smiling happily. And then in the bottom of my heart, I secretly muttered and ridiculed. On the surface, he stomped his feet again and again in indignation, pretending to be angry. While raising his hand, he pointed to the back of Jilai, who was fleeing as if he was avoiding some flood beast, and kept speeding up his pace, complaining with "dissatisfaction".
"Ouchββ?! Grandpa Jiraiya! You still have the face to ask me if I'm a man! I'm supposed to ask you that, right?! didn't even dare to propose to the woman he loved in public, and ran away in disgrace...... Or is the woman you love actually in that direction? β
"Ahh Who...... Who says I don't dare? Isn't it just begging...... Marriage proposal?! β
The agitated words in his ears, combined with the inexplicable and complaining sharp gaze sensed behind him, made Jiraiya, whose true intentions were seen through, suddenly sweat like rain. And then he didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously nodded in response while following the excuse of Naruto's "kind" arrangement. On the one hand, I was afraid that it would be too late to change, and the footsteps of running away were not stopped for a moment, but there was a tendency to go all out and run away completely!
"Ah......? Well! Yeah! My beloved girl is waiting for me over there...... Who said I wouldn't dare to confess? Naruto, you ...... You, you, you...... Wait a minute! I'm going to confess one! You-wait-and-ahββ! β
It's a pity that Jiraiya, who is single-mindedly trying to escape from this embarrassing situation, doesn't notice it......
Naruto's words of agitation, trying to stimulate, are not like him, a big fool who can't be shaken by thunder and only knows how to pay silently...... It's the one who has quietly removed the protective color of the arrogant and cold strong woman. And then just need to be stimulated by the pressure of the door.,The heroine who can make a decision completely - Senju Tsunade.γ
The moment he blurted out these casual nonsense words, it was equivalent to completely discrediting a misunderstanding to the point of being speechless...... So much so that Tsunade, who was not far away and was silently watching, could be said to have sunk to the bottom in an instant. And then his face was blue and white for a while, and the change was so wonderful that it was not only wonderful. Silver Fang gritted and hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind. Without waiting for the figure of Jiraiya, he completely disappeared into the distance. He stored the chakra on the soles of his feet, set off quietly, and silently followed behind Jiraiya. And then in a moment, the happy couple who had been entangled for most of their lives gradually drifted away under the rather ambiguous gaze of everyone, and finally disappeared into the buildings of this small village.
And at the moment when the figures of Jiraiya and Tsunade completely disappeared from sight. Naruto, who was still angry and ruined, completely regained his original calm appearance as if he had changed in an instant. Immediately, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a satisfied smile that had been planned, and he slowly stretched his waist as if relieved.
"Ahh......h Sure enough, those who are pampered are fearless. Only when you are about to lose it, do you know how to cherish and keep it......"
Between the words, Naruto has already been able to predict what kind of ending will be brought about by Tsunade's move - that is, Jiraiya will win the love run, and the arrogant slug princess will be successfully tamed, and then the perfect ending will be returned to the beauty.
After all, for many years, he has always enjoyed the unconditional pampering and connivance of Jiraiya, so that under the subtle influence, all the efforts of Jiraiya are regarded as the general ones who should do the same, and enjoy them with peace of mind. Once you wake up, you realize that the status between yourself and Jiraiya is equal to each other. There is no such thing as a distorted relationship that should be spoiled and indulged by anyone who owes it to anyone. And completely out of the shadow of the past, after taking the initiative to take the first step......
The relationship between these two people, who already have a deep emotional foundation, seems to be a matter of course, and there is no need for Naruto to spend any more words to provide assists. Under the emotional influence of losing restraint and restraint, they can naturally hold hands and come together.
Well, of course, this is without any surprises......
If Jiraiya is such a fool, under this clear trend, he still hesitates to show his heart...... Then, Naruto, who has worked hard for most of the day, can only give Jiraiya a five-word "glorious" title.
That's ......
Single by strength!
