In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Jiraiya!"

Seeing Jiraiya's unusual attire and the scent of perfume on his body, Tengo knew that Jiraiya had probably been out fooling around again.

"Alright, you lecherous immortal!"

Naruto saw Jiraiya and his eyes flashed with anger.

"You promised to teach me how to cultivate, so where have you been all these days?"

Naruto even directly questioned Jiraiya.

After all, Jiraiya was really too unreliable.

When Jiraiya discovered that Naruto could condense Rasengan on his own, he adopted a hands-off approach to Naruto.

He left Naruto to train on his own, while he himself used the excuse of going out to collect folk materials to go off and fool around.

More importantly, even when Jiraiya was teaching Naruto, he often asked Naruto to transform into a stunningly beautiful woman so that he could feast his eyes.

All of these things made Naruto have some opinions about him.

Chapter 218 Jiraiya Gets Beaten Up

After all, it's simply outrageous that they would casually leave to go play in other towns while teaching cultivation.

"Ah, Naruto, you're as lively as ever. You must have learned a lot from following Tenyu."

Jiraiya asked with a smile.

Jiraiya still looked unreliable.

Naruto gritted his teeth.

"Yes, who can argue with that? I've learned a lot from Brother Tianyu, things you couldn't have taught me. And, well, you're quite the lecherous immortal..."

Naruto became even angrier after hearing Jiraiya's words.

He walked up to Jiraiya, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Jiraiya.

"Oh, isn't this great? It's good enough to be able to learn something."

Jiraiya still had that shameless look.

He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with abandoning Naruto and going off to enjoy himself in the next town.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's eyes almost blazed with fire.

"Alright, alright, hurry back. I have something to tell Tsunade. Jiraiya, come along too, and Naruto as well. Shikamaru can handle this reporting mission. You go to Ichiraku Ramen and wait for me. I'll be there in a bit."

Tengo stopped Naruto and Jiraiya from arguing.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately forgot about Jiraiya and excitedly ran towards Ichiraku Ramen.

Watching Naruto's retreating figure, Jiraiya stood beside Tengo.

"Naruto is really energetic."

Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Yes, he's very energetic, and I hope he can stay that energetic forever."

Tengo smiled and then glanced sideways at Jiraiya.

"Speaking of Naruto, you should really focus on your training. Don't keep Naruto waiting for you any longer. Also, this time the expenses are coming from Konoha's treasury again, right? When you see Tsunade later, you're probably going to get punched again."

Tengo looked at Jiraiya with a half-smile.

"Forehead!"

Jiraiya seemed to recall Tsunade's iron fist and swallowed hard, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Um, I think I have something to do, so maybe I'll go later."

Jiraiya's expression changed, and he looked around, seemingly looking for a chance to sneak away.

"Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, they want to see you."

Seemingly sensing that Jiraiya also intended to escape, the ninjas stepped forward.

They positioned themselves perfectly in Jiraiya's retreat route.

"Come on, what are you dawdling for?"

Tenyu took a few steps forward, glanced at Jiraiya's appearance, seemed to understand something, and then said with a smile.

"Oh, let's go."

Jiraiya finally sighed helplessly and followed behind Tengo.

Enter the Hokage's office.

As always, Tsunade's desk was piled high with documents.

Silent voice assisted from the side.

"Lady Tsunade, Lord Amagi and Lord Jiraiya have returned."

After the ninja finished speaking respectfully, he opened the door.

Tengo, Jiraiya, Shikamaru, and Kisame Hoshigaki entered the Hokage's office.

Tsunade looked up and saw Kisame Hoshigaki, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"Kisame, you can go now. I'll have the people of Konoha find you a house to stay in, and the reward for this mission between you and me will also be given to you!"

Tenyu turned around and said to Kisame.

"Yes, my lord!"

Kisame glanced at Tsunade, nodded respectfully, and then left the Hokage's office.

After Kisame left, Tsunade seemed much more relaxed.

Clearly, Tsunade is still not used to Kisame's defection to Konoha.

"Shikamaru, you should report the situation first. This time, it's your mission."

Tengo looked at Shikamaru and said.

"Yes!"

Shikamaru nodded, then stepped forward to report to Tsunade on their mission to find the weasel.

He reported on his and Naruto's initial work, but did not elaborate on the rest.

After all, these subsequent events involved another person, and this was reported to Lady Tsunade personally by Lady Tenmuro.

"Hmm, you did well. As expected of the Nara clan. Speaking of which, your father praised you to me before, saying that you have surpassed your father. Now I see that it is indeed true!"

Tsunade smiled and praised Shikamaru a few times.

"Your expenses for this mission have been settled. Just go and collect them."

Tsunade continued.

"Oh, right, Shikamaru and I also contributed to that mission this time, so let's give him an extra 20,000 taels as a reward!"

Tianyu said with a smile.

Twenty thousand taels.

This is roughly the price of a C-level mission.

Shikamaru hasn't taken on a C-rank mission since he was promoted to Chunin, but since it was Tengo who asked, he decided to accept it.

Tsunade naturally wouldn't refuse.

He casually wrote a note and handed it to Shikamaru.

"Yes!"

Shikamaru nodded and thanked Tengo and Tsunade.

He then left the Hokage's office.

There are no outsiders in the Hokage's office now.

Tsunade stopped pretending, stood up from her chair, and walked straight to Jiraiya.

Then, without any mercy, he swung his fist and smashed it hard into Jiraiya's face.

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

Jiraiya was so shocked by the beating that he jumped up and down, covering his face as he looked at Tsunade.

But she didn't dare say anything, looking like a bullied little wife.

Tianyu found it quite amusing.

"Jiraiya, this is your fate. If I hear any more of your scandalous rumors about Konoha and I end up cleaning up your mess, you'd better watch out. Losing your powers isn't just a matter of fists; other methods can also be used!"

Tsunade said with a smile.

This smile caused Jiraiya's phantom limb some pain.

Jiraiya almost forgot that Tsunade was the world's number one medical ninja.

He's good at saving lives, and he's not bad at killing people either; he's also adept at concocting poisons.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely not do it again."

Jiraiya quickly raised his hand in greeting.

"Humph!"

Tsunade snorted and then sat back down in her chair.

However, Shizune, who was standing to the side, felt helpless seeing this scene.

After all, anyone would find it strange to see Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, not fighting back after being beaten.
