After confirming that the person who was "unfortunately" buried in the ruins was not Jiraiya, who was chasing along the way, but Tsunade, who had "nothing to do" with the matter. The residents who had surrounded the dilapidated buildings were naturally looking at each other, and quickly restrained their intense anger that was almost substantial. After a whispered conversation, a middle-aged man who looked quite prestigious was sent as a representative, and Tsunade was questioned one by one.

……

"I see, the pervert who peeped at the women's bathhouse went this way......"

Receiving Tsunade's "kind" reminder, the middle-aged man's eyes became more and more grateful and friendly, and at the same time, he raised his hand slightly and signaled the waiting crowd around him to disperse. In order to prevent Jiraiya from "escaping too far", as if racing against time, he began to use the advantage of numbers again to carry out a carpet search with the knowledge of the local terrain as a local resident. As if hesitating, he paused slightly, and after looking up and down Tsunade's handsome posture, which didn't seem to be dangerous, no matter how he looked at it, he asked softly tentatively.

Speaking of which, little girl...... Since you came out of this building, can you tell me...... How did this good house collapse? Or did you see anything strange before the house collapsed? ”

Obviously, no matter how deceptive Tsunade's appearance is. But not long after a sturdy house of acceptable quality collapsed in public for no apparent reason. Tsunade walked out of it unharmed in full view of everyone...... Even if you think about it with common sense, you can definitely imagine what kind of tricks exist in this. At least, he is also one of the parties who witnessed the whole process, and more or less, should also know what happened in this strange scene.

Because of this, although the middle-aged man was a little embarrassed to speak, he had to ask cautiously.

After all, although based on what he saw with his own eyes, Tsunade was more like an innocent person who was implicated for no reason. In other words, after being so frightened, it is already considered benevolent and righteous to be able to keep your sanity and calm and provide them with "kindness" to provide them with the whereabouts of their own lives. At this juncture, it is obviously a little unreasonable to delve into the "dangerous" experience that suddenly happened just now......

But even so, middle-aged men have reasons to ask.

Not to mention for the time being, after confirming whether the sudden collapse of the house was the work of manpower or a construction accident. The difference between the two is enough for the middle-aged man to judge whether he should conduct a thorough repair inspection of the quality of the local house, so that something similar does not happen again - after all, although there is no danger this time, there are no casualties except for the collapse of the house...... But what if it is really an accident caused by the unqualified quality of the house? Who can guarantee that the next time it happens, no one will be implicated and lose their lives in no apparent way?

And if it is done by man, it is even more intriguing......

In the middle-aged man's opinion, if the situation of the latter is the premise, it is believed that there is a mysterious powerhouse in the village at the moment, who has enough to destroy the entire house in an instant. The deliberate choice of a house with almost no one to carry out the destruction was apparently a warning signal to the local residents...... And no matter what the other party's intentions are, the importance and threat of this matter are obviously far greater than the "cowardly and incompetent" pervert who will only run away after the peeping women's bathhouse is discovered.

To put it simply, Tsunade's answer will, in a sense, greatly affect the judgment of the local residents, and force them to decide immediately whether the decision to continue the pursuit of Jiraiya is really worth it.

If it is the former, then it can also allocate some manpower to carry out a preliminary house inspection. The rest of the people continued to search for Jiraiya's "escape" trajectory without any impact.

But if it is the latter, then, such a large-scale search and pursuit, in case it causes misunderstanding on the other side. As a result, the other party thinks that it is the residents who did not take the warning threats given by the other party into account, which leads to the words that completely provoke the strong man...... Ignorance of the character of this mysterious powerhouse is obviously an extremely dangerous and unprofitable choice.

"Huh? You ask me just watched ...... What ...... you see? ”

And just as the old man in front of him was waiting for Tsunade's answer, he was thinking hard in his mind about the solution. Hearing that the old man was still hesitating, Tsunade confided in the words of inquiry, but as if he thought that he had heard it wrong, his face twitched slightly and he was stunned in place, and subconsciously spoke out and repeated the old man's question.

After all, when Tsunade thinks that the person in front of him will get the "answer" he provided and wave everyone away, the most he can do is to chat with him meaningfully, and then he will hurriedly rejoin the pursuit of Jiraiya.

Under the influence of this logical thought, Tsunade himself is the one who started the destruction of the poor and innocent house behind him. After Tsunade suddenly heard the inquiry of the person in front of him, as the initiator of the destruction of this poor and innocent house, Tsunade naturally began to feel weak. Coupled with the wrong direction provided by pretending to be kind in order to cover for Jiraiya, Tsunade suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt that was difficult to look at directly when he faced the old man's kind gaze full of gratitude.

In addition, because Tsunade has a background, he is not just one of the three disciples of the three generations of Hokage. Just by virtue of her life experience, it is because of the granddaughter of the first and second generations of Hokage. Before Tsunade left the village, he effortlessly rose to the top of the Konoha Ninja Village and became a member of the social circle of those in power.

Because of this, after a long time of hearing and seeing, he is accustomed to seeing the "wonderful performance" of the old foxes with ghosts, so as to exercise the ability to see through the hidden thoughts of others, and naturally after a little scrutiny. recognized that the reason why the old man in front of him asked this question was obviously because of his whimsical actions, and there was some misunderstanding.

"This look...... No way......? Could it be that the older a person gets, the easier it is to think crankily and make up for what he doesn't? ”

Thinking of this, in the puzzled gaze of the middle-aged man, Tsunade raised his hand to cover his complicated face. While turning his head slightly, he staggered his gaze from the old man. After a pause, he complained to himself in his heart, as if he remembered something, and then planned to make a mistake without doing anything.

"Wait a minute, isn't that just right...... If I fabricate a guy who doesn't exist at all to take this black pot on my back, not only will I not be blamed for destroying the house. Even the stupid things done by an idiot like Jiraiya will soon be forgotten, right? ”

The consequence of this is nothing more than putting the local population on high alert for days in vain, and there will be no human or economic losses...... But on the other hand, it is precisely because of this that the attention is shifted to the "suspect" who is fabricated out of thin air that does not exist at all, so that Jiraiya and Tsunade can successfully get rid of these troubles. The most immediate benefit is that you don't have to worry about being recognized.

After all, being recognized and affecting the reputation of the Konoha Sanninja is a trivial matter - that useless false name was chosen to be forgotten and discarded by Tsunade many years ago - but if it was because of this, the image of the Konoha Ninja Village was implicated...... For this Grandpa Tsuruma and the Uchiha family, it was not easy to establish and become famous step by step. As the Hokage's own granddaughter, Tsunade naturally absolutely does not allow the image of the village to be tarnished in the slightest.

"Poof...... Poofha! Small...... Little girl......"

However, before Tsunade could think about it, he pondered how to make the lie that was wrong more true and credible...... Transformed into a toad.,Lying on Tsunade's shoulder.,And because he accidentally confided in his truth before.,Jiraiya who has been in a state of silence.。 But his cheeks suddenly bulged, and he subconsciously leaned his head to Tsunade's ear. Immediately, his body trembled violently, and while he kept patting Tsunade's earlobe with his frog flippers, he couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard some big joke.

"Open...... Just kidding...... Hahaha——! He...... Is he serious? Little girl? Just you? Poofha! In terms of real age, I'm afraid he has to call you big sister, right? Hahahaha! ”

Well, if Naruto was here and heard Jiraiya's subconscious blurt out of complaining......

Then, Naruto would probably be able to know more or less that the reason why Jiraiya is at his current age is because he is alone. In addition to being a childhood sweetheart who can't compare to the law of the day that fell from the sky.,Lost to Kato for no reason.,It's definitely not just because of understanding Tsunade.、For the sake of Tsunade's mental trauma...... But in a sense, Jiraiya, a big grinning guy, is definitely single by his ability!!

Real age is always one of the biggest privacy that every woman values and cares about...... In other words, praising a woman's youth and beauty is definitely much more pleasing to the ear than calling her an aunt or aunt without knowing it.

And this eternal truth, even if it transcends the barriers of time and space, and is converted to the world of Naruto, it is still the same......

Because of this, in this case, instead of saying what Tsunade subconsciously wanted to hear in the special atmosphere of the reunion between the two after a long absence. When Tsunade racks his brains and tries to come up with a "course of events" that will allow him to get out of this mess on behalf of Jiraiya, who is causing this mess. Jiraiya is still like a colleague who doesn't care about himself.,While laughing and complaining.,Inappropriately and indirectly revealed Tsunade's true age......

Well, the fact that he is single by his own ability is definitely deserved.

“…… Shut up, you ...... too"

No, no, after hearing the banter that came into my ears. Tsunade's expression, which was originally smiling, suddenly froze. Immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched, and while trying to maintain the stiff smile on his face without smiling, he gritted his teeth and deliberately lowered the decibel of his words, and responded in a deep voice.

"Huh? What's wrong? Am I saying something wrong? ”

However, not knowing is the most critical emotional intelligence, and it is dropped at this juncture. Or all of a sudden, Jilai also lost all his desire to survive. So that Zilai didn't know that he was already in a dangerous state of disaster under the complaint he said casually before. So much so that after hearing Tsunade's obviously wrong response words, instead of any restraint, he thought that his meaning was not understood, and planned to explain it to others more bluntly and seriously.

"After all, if I'm not mistaken, you're ...... years old."

"If you say more, I will not only tell this guy your true identity, so that they can arrest you and punish you...... And, I promise, under my strange powers. No matter what this village plans to do with you, you don't want to get out of this village alive! ”

In the chatter that came from his ears, after judging that the other party's nature of not knowing life and death was recurring, it made Tsunade's forehead suddenly bulge with green tendons. While raising the palm before, covering his facial expression, and pretending to recall something bad, he quietly turned his head a little, making a look of fear and sadness. After approaching a little lying on his shoulder. Rao is Tsunade's facial expression, always maintaining a state of crooked eyes and smiling. But at the same time that his face gradually became pale, and he began to grind his teeth and threaten Jiraiya with a cold voice. From between the eyebrows, there was a touch of substantial killing intent.

"Do you believe it or not? Like a mouthy self-come-also-big-person? ”

“…… Gollum ......"

Under the threat of Tsunade's familiar and cold eye knife, Jiraiya finally remembered in hindsight how he had been ravaged and beaten by Tsunade in every way. And the desire to survive, which was originally in a state of disconnection, finally came back online like a long time ago. So much so that Zilai was like a deflated balloon, instantly cowardly, and he didn't dare to speak. While swallowing his saliva in deep fear, he hurriedly raised his frog flipper and responded seriously for fear that Tsunade would be in a hurry and confess himself.

"I, I, I...... I believe ...... I don't believe it! You...... Don't be angry, Tsunade-sama...... Ha ha...... The little one is just ...... I just played an inappropriate joke on you, and you have a lot of adults, so I'll spare the little one this time......"

“…… Tsk, I knew it was going to be like this...... Can't you have a little backbone? Anyway, you're one of the three ninjas of Konoha on my footing, right?! ”

"In front of Tsunade-sama, where does the little one dare to be on an equal footing with you...... In contrast, of course, you are on top, and the small one is below. ”

Well, although as the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees......

But there is another saying, which is called the big husband can bend and stretch.

Anyway, in Jiraiya's opinion, he has been bullied by Tsunade since he was a child...... Compared to in childhood, there is little manly backbone left that has already been hit. The safety of one's own life is obviously much more important.

And this, in a sense, laid the foundation for the future after the two left their knots behind and successfully held hands and got married. Even if he is at home, he is bullied by Tsunade at will, and he doesn't have the image of the head of the family, but he can still smile all day long, and he obviously looks like he is enjoying the foundation......
