Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 210 Confessing to Jiraiya.

Seeing this, Jiraiya left before the two could notice.

Orochimaru looked puzzled and followed up to ask, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you go in and check on things? You just left."

Jiraiya recalled the scene earlier where Tsunade took a sip of water before affectionately handing it to Aokiji, and carefully chose his words: "Uh... Orochimaru, don't you feel that Tsunade seems to have a special affection for Aokiji?"

Orochimaru, trying to cover for himself, said, "You're overthinking it."

As Jiraiya walked away, he shook his head in denial: "I wasn't thinking too much. Did you see Tsunade's affectionate behavior towards Aokiji just now?"

Orochimaru, confused, asked, "I saw it. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask?" Jiraiya felt a little sour. "Didn't you see how affectionate she was with Aokiji just now? My god, she even blew on his water to make sure he didn't burn his mouth. Not only that, she even took a sip herself. Lovers, no, married women, are no better than that."

"Aokiji is a patient after all..."

"But when I was in the hospital, Tsunade treated me completely differently. I thought Aokiji and I should be about the same in Tsunade's eyes, so why is there such a big difference in treatment?"

No, you're right.

You're just half a pound of scrap iron, while Aokiji is eight ounces of gold.

Perhaps because he had spent so much time with Aokiji, Orochimaru was more or less influenced and began to complain in his mind, which was quite rare for him.

Jiraiya pursed his lips and said confidently, "Based on my years of experience, Aokiji and Tsunade are definitely up to something behind our backs. They might even be in that kind of relationship, or maybe it's a secret romance."

"Experience? Haven't you always been single? Where did you get your experience?"

Jiraiya looked dejected: "The experience I've gained."

Orochimaru was taken aback: "Experience gained from seeing it?"

Jiraiya subtly used a metaphor: "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run."

Orochimaru: ...

Jiraiya scratched his head. The more he thought about it, the more it itched in his heart, which only made him feel more frustrated. He let out two strange cries and said, "No, I have to go and ask him in person."

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Orochimaru didn't expect Jiraiya to be so direct.

"What for? Of course, we're asking if those two are having an affair."

Jiraiya then went back to confront the perpetrators with great force, and even Orochimaru couldn't stop him.

In the ward.

Aokiji wondered, "Was that guy who was rushing away just now Jiraiya?"

Tsunade is currently focused entirely on her boyfriend and has no time to pay attention to anyone else, so she said, "I don't care."

Aokiji scratched his ears and cheeks, giving an embarrassed laugh: "Did someone see us just now?"

"So what if he saw it?" Tsunade didn't care. In fact, this was more to her liking, saving her from having to sneak around in the future and also completely extinguishing Jiraiya's hopes. It would benefit both her and Jiraiya.

The two were talking about Jiraiya when he arrived. He stood at the door, looking like he was about to interrogate you: "I have something to ask you two. You two better tell me honestly."

Tsunade glanced sideways, closed her eyes for a moment, and combined with his previous actions, she more or less guessed what was going on. Knowing the answer already, she asked, "What is it?"

The indifferent tone spurred Jiraiya to state his position: "I saw everything just now, so you guys are...?"

"Is it something?"

"That?"

"Oh~"

Tsunade's nonchalant reply surprised Jiraiya: "Oh?"

"It's probably what you're thinking."

Tsunade's words essentially revealed their relationship directly, leaving Jiraiya completely bewildered.

It was as if he was doing it on purpose for Jiraiya, to make him give up.

Tsunade moved closer to Aokiji, and before anyone could react to what he was about to do, she took the initiative and kissed him.

Crit!

This scene caused immense pain to Jiraiya, who had been in a one-sided love for many years.

Jiraiya, whose brain had completely shut down, only came to his senses when he saw the two lips separate.

Click.

With a sound like shattering glass, he felt his heart breaking.

Moreover, judging from Tsunade's skillful and casual manner, these two probably did this kind of thing quite a lot behind the scenes.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how could you do such a morally offensive thing?" Jiraiya was furious and incoherent. "And you even took the initiative! What happened to a girl's modesty?"

After kissing Aokiji's lips, Tsunade wasn't satisfied and insisted on kissing his cheek as well: "I like it, it's none of your business!"

Even Aokiji was a little embarrassed by Tsunade's bold behavior. She had been quite shy at first, but now she was becoming more and more proactive.

Jiraiya moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself, finally letting out a long sigh: "People used to say, 'Beware of fire and thieves,' but now I see you should also beware of your companions. I was the one who chased after them first."

Tsunade scoffed, "Stop being so narcissistic. You talk as if I'm yours."

Jiraiya gave a bitter smile: "Tsunade, you really are heartless."

Tsunade was blunt and merciless: "There was never any affection between us, so what's the point of talking about affection?"

Jiraiya, having been driven to depression by Tsunade's sharp tongue, turned to Aokiji for help: "Hey, your girlfriend's got such a sharp tongue, are you really capable of handling her?"

"It's alright, it won't kill you with poison, and it's quite soft."

Tsunade pouted and stepped forward to question, "It's just okay, pretty soft?"

"Shall I try some more?"

This time, it was Aokiji who took the initiative to kiss her.

Tsunade did not refuse and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiraiya suffered tons of damage once again.

Overwhelmed with sadness, he looked at Orochimaru with tears in his eyes and said, "In the end, you are still my true comrade. Thank you for staying with me in my single life until the very end."

Orochimaru suddenly felt offended.

Dodging Jiraiya's embrace, he said, "You recovered faster than I expected."

"How did you notice me? You've recovered so quickly! I was almost crying, you know."

Orochimaru hit the nail on the head: "If you were truly heartbroken and sad, you wouldn't be in the mood to talk to me about these things."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Jiraiya didn't seem too upset. He glanced at the two of them and said, "Can you two stop showing off your love in front of me? Have you even considered how I feel?"

Orochimaru patted Jiraiya on the shoulder in a comforting gesture; he was already used to it.

Jiraiya was taken aback, then realized what was going on: "Wait, did you already know all along?"

"I guess so..."

Since Aokiji and Tsunade have already confessed to Jiraiya, Orochimaru no longer needs to hide anything, so confessing becomes a natural thing.

In an instant, Jiraiya became depressed, this time truly depressed, because these bastards didn't even include him.

"Don't worry about us hiding it from you." Aokiji sighed, "If you hadn't bumped into me, we were planning to find a girl to set you up with before telling you the truth."

Jiraiya's ears twitched: "Girls, have you found them?"

"A suitable target hasn't been found yet..."

Jiraiya's excitement was for nothing: "If that's the case, why did you two, you two, have to let me see you?"

The man in the adulterous couple hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Actually, we've been very careful. You should know that feelings are hard to control."

"Sorry, as a single guy, I really didn't know about this kind of thing." After complaining, Jiraiya became serious: "Anyway, congratulations to you two."

Aokiji was surprised by Jiraiya's quick forgiveness and asked, "Eh, you've already forgiven us?"

"In the end, neither of you owes me anything, so what right do I have to resent you, right?"

Jiraiya was very clear-headed. He knew that his feelings for Tsunade were just wishful thinking. Since things had come to this point, he might as well go along with it and help the two of them get together.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's lips curled into a slight smile: "However, even so, I'm still angry that you two kept this from me, so..."

Aokiji was taken aback: "So?"

Jiraiya rubbed his hands together and said with a wicked grin, "It's not unreasonable for me to ask for some compensation, is it?"

Aokiji nodded: "What do you want? Do you want me to teach you the Rasengan?"

"Rasengan? What's that?"

Jiraiya had never seen this thing before.

"A type of ninjutsu, close-combat ninjutsu."

Jiraiya waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't interested in this thing: "It sounds interesting, but I'm more interested in getting something else from you than this."

"What is that?"

Aokiji couldn't understand him; the Rasengan was already the most valuable thing he could teach him.

"Chasing girls."

When he said those two words, Jiraiya looked excited and expectant.

Aokiji: ...

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "I want to know what method you used to bring Tsunade, this female tyrannosaurus, under your control and tame her so obediently."

Hearing Jiraiya dare to speak to her like that, Tsunade was displeased and swung her fist: "Hey, are you looking for death?"

Jiraiya was still quite afraid of Tsunade, so he hid behind Orochimaru, looked at Aokiji with sincere eyes, and said, "Please, Aokiji, teach me your secrets to picking up girls. I'll do anything you ask."

"Uh, actually it was Tsunade who chased after me, do you believe me?"
