Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 92 The thing I was most worried about happened.

Having figured this out, Tsunade nodded vigorously, encouraging herself, and then, like a ballet dancer, gracefully twirled in front of the mirror.

The girl in the mirror was twelve or thirteen years old, with golden hair, a round oval face, fair skin, clear eyes, and pink, plump lips. Her lips were slightly upturned, like a blooming flower, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Tsunade nodded, revealing a satisfied smile like a cat; she was quite confident in her appearance.

"No problem above the neck, now it's time for the rest of the body," Tsunade nodded slightly.

Looking down at her toes, she was flat-chested.

(′Д`)

"Big things have their difficulties, small things have their advantages..."

The girl, who had both A-rank strength and speed, rubbed her unhelpful part with her hand, letting out a long sigh filled with unspeakable frustration.

Tsunade looked dejected, as if she had swallowed two pounds of poison, her face full of sorrow. Her parents were calling her to eat outside her room, but she had no appetite.

She dragged herself from home, her appearance reflecting her inner state, wandering the streets like a lost soul.

"Tsunade..."

A familiar yet annoying voice came from afar behind her, and Tsunade knew who it was without even turning her head.

At this moment, she was silent about her double A panel, not interested in paying attention to it, ignoring it like a passing autumn breeze, and walking forward on her own.

The owner of the annoying noise behind her persisted, walked around to Tsunade's side, his teeth gleaming, and gave her a refreshing smile, saying, "What a coincidence, Tsunade."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "What is it, Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya didn't mention his own affairs, but seeing her worried expression, he said, "Tsunade, you look strange today."

"Huh... do I look strange?"

Tsunade thought it was probably because of the panel, so her expression reflected her inner state.

"Yeah, they look kind of cute."

Jiraiya chuckled.

Tsunade pressed the back of her hand to her forehead, rolled her eyes, and sighed as if she couldn't take it anymore: "If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."

Jiraiya hurriedly said, "Something's wrong, something's wrong!"

Tsunade pulled away her worried expression, composed herself, and regained her usual composure: "If this is the 54th confession, I don't want to hear it."

"Tsunade, you really aren't good at expressing yourself."

Jiraiya's skin was as thick as a city wall, absolutely impenetrable even by shuriken and kunai.

Tsunade snorted, not wanting to listen to his nonsense, and strode away with her long, milky-white legs.

Jiraiya said repeatedly, "Don't go! I have questions for you."

"What's the problem?" Tsunade stopped in her tracks, deciding to listen to his nonsense for the time being.

What's your zodiac sign?

Hearing Jiraiya's seemingly random question, Tsunade paused for a moment, then replied, "I remember being born on August 2nd, so I'd be a Leo. Is there a problem?"

Jiraiya chuckled and said, "Then do you know what my zodiac sign is?"

"The Toad constellation?"

"There's no constellation like this in the twelve zodiac constellations," Jiraiya said speechlessly. "Why don't you guess again?"

"A pervert?"

Jiraiya shook his head: "No, no, let me tell you, I'm tailor-made for you."

Tsunade:……

If she had the chance, she really wanted to take a scalpel and dissect Jiraiya's face to see what it was made of.

"How was my confession just now? Pretty good, right?"

Tsunade was too lazy to even call him an idiot, so she just left.

Jiraiya followed behind her, acting like a total simp: "Tsunade, I've tried so hard, please give me a chance."

Tsunade didn't want to pay attention to Jiraiya and was about to quicken her pace when she seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped.

Seeing this, Jiraiya's face lit up with joy, and he said presumptuously, "Haha, Tsunade, you've finally thought it through and you're going on a date with me?"

Tsunade retorted without hesitation: "A toad trying to eat swan meat, wishful thinking."

Jiraiya said, feeling wronged, "That's so unfair! They actually compared me to a toad."

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. Anyway, it's not like you're being compared to a toad for the first time. Let me ask you something."

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Jiraiya was surprised that Tsunade rarely asked him for advice.

Tsunade's pupils flickered. After a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What type of girls do you guys usually like?"

Jiraiya looked surprised: "Why are you asking this?"

"A friend of mine isn't good at expressing himself verbally, and I'd like to ask him if you could help me ask?"

"Friend, who?"

"It's none of your business." After saying that, Tsunade perhaps realized there was something wrong with what she said, so she added, "I have an obligation to protect my friends' privacy."

"That friend isn't you, is it?"

Jiraiya became wary and tried to probe the truth of the matter in a half-joking manner.

Many truths are said half-jokingly, in order to leave room for maneuver for oneself.

He was single-minded in other aspects, but Jiraiya, with his rich experience in theoretical discussions, was quite sensitive to this.

"Hmph, boring."

Tsunade asked, "Have you seen Aokiji return?"

"Not yet? They seem to still be doing the pet-catching quest. What's wrong?"

"I'll go ask him when he gets back."

"No way, you can ask me about this. I'm an expert." Jiraiya rubbed his hands together and spoke confidently: "According to the Pythagorean theorem, I think most boys like big butts and big breasts."

What is the Cleft Theorem?

Tsunade's words sounded like some kind of academic research.

Jiraiya smiled and began to explain in detail. Tsunade listened, her brows furrowing, and she strongly condemned: "Vulgar!"

That being said, Jiraiya's point has some merit; after all, that person often brings this up.

After explaining the "groin" theorem, Jiraiya also went on to talk at length about clothing and appearance.

After saying this, he glanced at someone, who had lowered their eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Just then, seemingly noticing the gaze directed at her, Tsunade glared at him, looking fierce: "What are you looking at?"

Jiraiya quickly waved his hand, vehemently denying it.

Tsunade said with disdain and condemnation: "You boys are really disgusting."

After saying that, Tsunade tossed her head, strode away with her long white legs.

This time, Jiraiya unexpectedly didn't keep up. He silently watched Tsunade leave, snot running down his face, tears welling in his eyes. He was heartbroken...

A few days later, the weather became hot.

After completing his mission, Aokiji returned to the village, his mouth dry and parched. He longed to find a place to sit down, order a cup of tea, and soothe his throat.

They encountered Jiraiya on the way, who looked sorrowful, as if he had just lost a lover.

Seeing Aokiji was like meeting a kindred spirit; a ray of sunlight peeked out from the dark clouds: "You're finally back."

"What did you send?"

"that……"

"Wait, I'm so thirsty. Let me go get a cup of tea first, then you can tell me in detail."

Jiraiya: ...

………………

Dessert shop.

On a square table are two plates of three-colored meatballs and two cups of tea.

Aokiji and Jiraiya sat facing each other. He held a cup of tea and blew on the rim of the cup: "Tell me, what happened?"

Jiraiya was devastated, losing all appetite: "I've been dumped..."

"You've never been in a relationship before, how could you have experienced heartbreak?"

Aokiji didn't take it seriously, took a sip of tea, found it quite delicious, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Jiraiya said angrily, "It's Tsunade. That girl has someone she likes."

"Cough cough..."

Aokiji's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he choked on a mouthful of tea, coughing so hard he almost died.

"What's going on?"

Jiraiya sighed softly, feeling secretly saddened, and recounted in detail his meeting with Tsunade a few days prior.

"What did you say?!"

Aokiji was shocked and slammed his hands heavily on the table, then suddenly stood up.

Jiraiya gave him a strange look: "It's not like you're the one who broke up with your boyfriend, why are you getting so worked up?"

How could I not be excited!

Sure enough, his worst fears came true.
