Chapter 464 Meeting old friends

After a while, Jiraiya, wearing only his underpants, stood up from the hot spring pool.

He tied his wet long hair back casually, wiped his body dry, and walked out with bare feet.

More than hating the war, he didn't want to see anything happen to the people closest to him.

After changing into his own clothes, Jiraiya walked out of the hot springs hall with the courtesy of two greeters.

But his steps suddenly stopped.

His eyes slowly widened.

A hint of joy gradually rose in his eyes.

In a tavern across the street, the person he had been thinking about was sitting at this moment!

On a single wine table, a stunning woman wearing a yellow dress sat. But people's first glance will definitely fall on her exposed plumpness with slight grooves, rather than her beautiful face.

But Jiraiya's eyes just stared blankly at the other person's already slightly red face, and he couldn't bear to look away for a long time.

He stood on the side of the street, staring across the street, without noticing at all the other woman in black next to the wine table, who was equally beautiful.

"Tsunade-sama, stop drinking. If you drink any more, we won't have any money later!"

The woman in black held the pink pig in her arms, and finally couldn't help but said in a complaining tone.

"What are you afraid of?! Shizune! You are such a housekeeper! You are going back to Konoha soon. Are you worried that you won't be able to get money by then? The teacher called me back, no, how can I do it without giving money? Hiccup—— "

The woman in the yellow dress burped, her face flushed and she continued to take a sip of wine.

"Besides, that boy Minato is now the Hokage. I, my sister, don't want to go back? I don't believe that boy still has no eyesight at all like before!"

"Sister, sister???"

The woman in black's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded.

But this beautiful woman named Tsunade had endless words to say, and the woman in black could only listen helplessly.

Gradually, her eyes began to become blurred.

Tsunade smiled and poured the wine from the wine glass into her mouth, showing her bold attitude.

Seeing this, Jiraiya's eyes across the street couldn't help but get wet.

He couldn't tell whether the feeling in his eyes was filled with longing or heartache.

The woman he had kept in his heart for many years, her indulgence at this time, in Jiraiya's eyes, was just like always escaping from something.

"But after all these years, Tsunade, haven't you still been able to completely let go of the village..."

He smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling extremely complicated for a moment.

Seeing Tsunade appear here, what else did Jiraiya not understand.

Tsunade, like Jiraiya, finally agreed to the request of his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi. Jiraiya could even guess what Hiruzen Sarutobi sent someone to tell Tsunade.

"Teacher is getting old and his health is getting worse every day. I want to see you..."

Jiraiya shook his head with a complicated expression.

"Teacher, if you are really old, why bother fighting for power with a junior like Minato? Young people naturally have their own ideas. In the final analysis, you still can't let go of the rights you have held for almost thirty years... ."

Jiraiya sighed, put aside his dissatisfaction, and walked towards the other side of the street.

......

Seeing a white-haired man walking towards them, Shizune and Tsunade subconsciously looked up.

After seeing the familiar face clearly, Tsunade smiled drunkenly and said hello.

"You're still willing to give it up! Jiraiya!?"

"Jiraiya-sama!?"

Shizune on the side was surprised, quickly stood up, and bent slightly towards Jiraiya.

Only then did she know why Tsunade started drinking here so early in the morning.

"Um......"

Jiraiya smiled and nodded at Shizune, then turned to look at the smiling Tsunade, a knowing smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"After all these years, Tsunade, you still haven't changed!"

Jiraiya paused and smiled.

"Who told you I was in the Land of Fire? Old man?"

"He? I want to know your whereabouts, Jiraiya. Do I need anyone to tell you?"

Tsunade curled her lips in disdain.

Although Jiraiya's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong and can perfectly avoid any possibility of being discovered, it is actually a very simple matter to determine the whereabouts and location of the opponent.

"If I want to find you Jiraiya, why don't I just ask at a hot spring hotel with mixed baths?!"

The gentle smile on Jiraiya's face suddenly stopped, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Shizune aside, and when he found that she was covering her mouth and snickering, Jiraiya's face darkened.

He shouted dissatisfiedly to his friend.

"Tsunade, how can you talk like this in front of Shizune? I, Jiraiya, am not that kind of person! What kind of mixed bath? It's such a mess, I won't go there! I, Jiraiya Sage, am very clean and self-sufficient for you. Bar!"

"Huh!? If you dare, say the last sentence again?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, and her whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

"Ah...nothing, nothing, hahaha..."

Jiraiya touched his head in embarrassment, not daring to test how hard Tsunade's fist was.

He just sighed in his heart that as a woman with a strong personality and a bad temper, Tsunade gave even her last tenderness to another dead person...

He, Jiraiya, had never felt what Tsunade's tenderness felt like.

"I'm afraid... I have to wait until I die in front of him one day before he will show the same emotions to me as that person..."

Inwardly laughing at himself, Jiraiya laughed softly.

If that day comes, even if he dies, he will be willing to do so!

"Why are you giggling! Jiraiya, you idiot!"

Tsunade unnaturally avoided Jiraiya's gentle gaze and cursed out of habit.

"Hehehe..."

Jiraiya giggled a few times, then pursed his lips tightly.

It's been a long time since Tsunade scolded him. His whole heart felt warm now, but he didn't want to make Tsunade angry...

Seeing Jiraiya's stupid look, Tsunade's heart trembled.

It's not that he couldn't feel Jiraiya's feelings, but after Kato Dan's death, she seemed to have lost the ability to love.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade sighed deeply and changed the topic.
