Chapter 45 Jiraiya wanted to take Naruto away but was rejected!

"Forget it! I'm not interested in that."

Hearing this, Jiraiya immediately showed a pleading expression: Don't say anymore, I was wrong, I'm a cheapskate and shouldn't have provoked you.

Naruto, who was eating noodles, just felt strange.

Glancing at the two strange people beside him, Naruto finished his ramen as quickly as possible, drinking up not a drop of the soup left. Then he patted his stomach in satisfaction and left happily.

After Naruto left, Jiraiya, who was blushing and smelling of alcohol, fell in despair.

Everything proves that he is in a bad mood.

Although he was busy having fun, Jiraiya still cared deeply about his disciple's only child.

After some inquiries, he was disappointed with the results.

Naruto was having a bad time.

The Third Hokage failed to fulfill his promise and take good care of Naruto.

Compared to the Third Hokage's own children, Naruto is not much different from other orphans, and his situation is even more difficult.

In comparison, the only thing that makes Naruto better than other orphans is that he is protected and not so short of money.

It's a pity that having money is useless because no one in Konoha is willing to sell things to Naruto.

Naruto's experience made even the wretched tough guy Jiraiya's eyes turn red.

"Can we talk?"

Why did Jiraiya's eyes turn red? Yan guessed it had something to do with Naruto.

However, these things were not his business, so Yan prepared to go home and rest. Unexpectedly, Jiraiya actually wanted to talk to him.

Yan thought about it for a while, then sat down, ready to be a spectator.

"The noodles are ready."

He placed the cooked noodles in front of Jiraiya, shook his head and sighed, closed the store, and left, leaving the place to the two of them.

"I'm gonna start now."

With a smile uglier than crying, Jiraiya clapped his hands, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, saying as he ate:

"I never thought that Naruto's life would be like this. Before Minato left, the old man promised him that he would take good care of Naruto."

"I was not a good teacher. I left Konoha alone and never came back to visit Naruto."

Yan listened quietly.

"The old man always told me that Naruto was safe, living a good life, and very naughty..."

After hearing this, Yan complained in his heart: What a poor guy who was fooled by the Third Hokage.

Don’t you know what your teacher’s personality is like?

If you are out and about, is it possible that he will tell you the truth?

If Jiraiya really knew that this was the way Naruto lived, he would probably rush back at the first moment.

As a result, the Third Hokage fooled him for several years.

This is quite amazing. Yan really admires the Third Hokage's ability and means to deceive people.

Disciple? I will cheat you anyway.

"I wonder what I have done in the past few years."

Jiraiya no longer had the appetite to eat noodles. He put down his chopsticks and seemed to be laughing at himself, laughing at his own ignorance and stupidity.

"Fortunately, Naruto is growing up healthily, although he is a little naughty..."

This was the only thing that made Jiraiya feel relieved.

Yan's mouth twitched twice, and he couldn't help but say:

"If you drink expired milk, rush into the store like a thief to buy things, steal things and leave money, and are rejected everywhere you go, then you are living a good life. That is indeed a good life."

"..."

Jiraiya's ugly smile froze.

The time he had to inquire about Naruto's news was too short, so he didn't get any specific information.

I thought the result was pretty good, but after hearing what Yan said, I realized, healthy growth is bullshit!!!

"If he had a barbecue, he'd probably swallow his tongue."

"Lies and deception have always existed, you just can't see them, stop being hypocritical, it's disgusting."

"Sorry, I accidentally said a few words from my heart."

Waving his hand, Yan opened the door and left, leaving Jiraiya stunned, like a wooden stake nailed in the ramen restaurant.

So, the Third Hokage is great, the Third Hokage is great, but the Third Hokage’s promises have never been fulfilled.

Once a person lives with his face covered for a long time, he will find that he no longer has such a thing as a face.

night.

The window of Naruto's house was pushed open, and Jiraiya walked around the house. The messy house, like a garbage dump, made him unable to recover for a long time.

Naruto, who had been crazy all day, was sleeping soundly and had no idea someone had come into his house and was standing in front of his bed, looking at him quietly, falling into deep self-blame.

Jiraiya sat by Naruto's bed all night.

The next morning, Jiraiya, who had not slept all night and whose eyes were bloodshot, came to the Hokage's office and said straight to the point:

"I can go find Tsunade and try everything I can to persuade her to come back, but I want to take Naruto with me. From now on, I will live with Naruto."

"No !!!!"

The Third Hokage refused decisively.

The first half of Jiraiya's words made him happy, but the second half did not.

A lot of things have happened in the village recently, and the already exhausted Third Hokage doesn't want to worry about Naruto anymore.

But after the refusal, the Third Hokage himself was stunned.

Because he has formed a habit in this matter.

Looking at the teacher with disappointment, Jiraiya smiled bitterly:

"Teacher, I am very disappointed in you. Don't you really know what kind of life Naruto is living?"

"But Naruto is the village's Jinchuriki. He can't leave Konoha that easily."

The Third Hokage knew that he had disappointed Jiraiya, and he wanted to persuade Jiraiya to give up this idea as he had done before.

It would be best for Naruto to stay in the village, as that would be the safest place.

Shaking his head, Jiraiya, who had completely given up, sighed: "Okay, then I will stay in the village and accompany Naruto to grow up. But you need to hand over the task of finding Tsunade to someone else."

"Old man, Naruto is more important to me than anything else."

If this matter cannot be handled, I suggest that Danzo be sent to the daimyo's mansion and let the daimyo deal with it.

Jiraiya kept this sentence in his heart. If he really said it out loud, the Third Hokage would definitely be furious.

Since there is no way to reach an agreement, I choose to make concessions.

It's just a mission, there's nothing I can do.

This is the only way Jiraiya can choose to fight against the Third Hokage.

He didn't want to break up or create a rift. For Naruto and the village, he could only choose to use soft threats to intimidate.

Faced with Jiraiya's threat, the Third Hokage did not give in, but just kept a sullen face.

Jiraiya knew that this was not going to be easy.

He did not force the Third Hokage, and decisively left the Hokage office building, went to the commercial street, and bought a lot of furniture, clothes, and brand new household items.

Naruto's house was changed inside and out.

Regardless of whether the Third Hokage agreed to let him take Naruto away, he needed to do something to make up to Naruto.

To make up for what I owe to Naruto over the years.

I will make up for all that I owe, what my teacher owes, and even what the village owes.

"Captain, the pervert from yesterday is looking for you."

Quan pushed open the office door and shouted.

"Pervert sir?"

Yan was puzzled. What perverted adult...could it be Jiraiya?

Why is this guy looking for him?
