Chapter 157 Pushing the envelope
"No, my name is Uchiha Haruko." Haruko corrected him.
Jiraiya really couldn't describe the feeling he had at that moment when his memories came back: joy, relief, regret and many more. He only knew that he could no longer bear to see Haruko die in front of him.
This time, he must protect Haruko.
Jiraiya forced a smile, "Really? Do you still remember me then?"
Under Jiraiya's eager gaze, Haruko nodded as if following his thoughts, "Kakashi said you are a Sannin."
His heart was instantly broken, Jiraiya covered his chest and comforted himself that it was okay, as long as he remembered Haruko.
But...Kakashi?
Jiraiya shot his sharp eyes towards Hatake Kakashi who was sitting opposite him and looked at him unceremoniously. Seeing his increasingly helpless expression, Jiraiya commented in his heart: No one is as handsome as he was when he was a child!
The pleasure that he originally felt from being looked at with admiring eyes by Hatake Kakashi disappeared completely, and all that was left was dissatisfaction everywhere.
Speaking of which, there is another boy next to Haruko... Thinking of Uchiha Obito who dressed up as a woman to seduce Haruko, Jiraiya glared at him equally.
Hatake Kakashi & Uchiha Obito:?
After coughing twice, Jiraiya put on a gentle expression and looked at the young version of Haruko.
As expected of Haruko, she has been so beautiful since she was a child!
Cute, I want to kidnap!
Jiraiya added ten layers of filters to her on his own, and suddenly recalled the task that Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him. Jiraiya seemed to understand his deep meaning.
Jiraiya said softly, almost coaxingly, "Haruko, do you want to learn powerful ninjutsu from me? I'm very powerful!"
"No." Haruko, who just wanted to lie down, rejected him expressionlessly.
Jiraiya was choked by her and remembered that Haruko was the same when they were young. They always took Tsunade to be lazy, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen helpless against them. Later, when they grew up, they all consciously learned powerful ninjutsu, which made Jiraiya step on the landmine now.
Before Jiraiya could figure out what Haruko liked when she was a child, Uchiha Obito heard that Jiraiya wanted to kidnap Haruko and quickly lifted up his skirt and rushed over to stand in front of Haruko.
Looking at Jiraiya with unfriendly eyes, Uchiha Obito asked: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Jiraiya raised his eyebrow. How could a little kid dare to snatch from him? Where did he get the courage?
"I am here under the order of the Hokage to investigate the grassroots people's satisfaction with their class divisions." Jiraiya smiled and lifted Uchiha Obito to the side, "So, kid, don't get in the way."
Unexpectedly, he was picked up and pushed aside. Uchiha Obito felt that his genius face was completely lost.
Although it was gone the moment he put on the skirt...
But! He would never let this hedgehog-haired uncle take Haruko away from him!
Standing in front of Haruko again, Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Obito with a stubborn face and his expression fell.
Just as the two of them stared at each other, Haruko poked her head out from behind Uchiha Obito and said, "The grassroots people's satisfaction with the class division? That sounds interesting!"
"Really? So how about we just chat alone?" Jiraiya put on a smile and turned his head to look at her.
Uchiha Obito didn't expect that while he was defending and protecting Haruko, the person he was protecting, would stab him in the back. Unexpectedly, he turned around and glared at her.
Haruko asked in confusion, "Did Obito's eyes twitch?"
"..." Uchiha Obito couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes.
Jiraiya completely ignored his embarrassment and laughed out loud.
Haruko turned her questioning eyes to him, "Can the hedgehog-headed uncle's little eyes see?"
"..." Jiraiya, who was slandered by Equality, slowly closed his laughing mouth.
Nohara Lin, who was watching everything, sighed: This is simply an indiscriminate attack, Haruko...
Since the other three were determined to monitor him, Jiraiya had no choice but to discuss the idea of class division with Haruko in front of them.
"Can I choose my own teammates?!" Haruko shouted in surprise.
"Ahem, it's just a preliminary selection, to provide a reference for the formal class division." Jiraiya tried to justify himself.
What if Haruko chooses those two brats? !
Jiraiya thought so, having never imagined that in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, he was once a bad boy around Haruko.
Haruko tentatively asked, "Can I go with Lin?"
"Okay." Jiraiya nodded with relief.
"Then Obito wants to come too!" Haruko gradually became bolder.
He originally wanted to ask her to change someone else, but when he saw the expectant eyes of young Haruko, Jiraiya really couldn't bear it, so he agreed to her suggestion.
"Then we need Kakashi!" Haruko began to push the issue further.
Jiraiya's mouth fell, "Teams usually consist of three people."
"But Lin wants to be a medical ninja! She can follow all three of them!" Haruko retorted with reason.
Unexpectedly, she also knew about this hidden condition. When Tsunade's proposal to train medical ninjas was approved, it was indeed a three-person team with one medical ninja. But after the system was gradually improved, the medical ninja was directly assigned to be a member of the three-person team.
Jiraiya wiped his face helplessly when he thought that this pit was dug by Tsunade many years ago.
Seeing that he tacitly agreed to the proposal, Haruko's heart was eager to move, "Then Hong, Asuma and Thick Eyebrows want to come together!"
"Don't go too far, you."
Jiraiya sighed, but still couldn't bear to say anything harsh.
Fearing that she would just form a company, Jiraiya decided on the spot to form a team of four of them.
Haruko looked regretful, but she was cheering in her heart.
Yeah! This is just her trick to succeed!
Once again admiring her own cleverness and wit, Haruko cast a victorious look at the three people behind her.
Nohara Rin: It’s great to be with you all!
Uchiha Obito: Well... Haruko is here anyway.
Hatake Kakashi: Did anyone ask for my opinion?
Everyone tried to remind Jiraiya in various ways that it was time to leave, but Jiraiya, unable to save face, stood up and pretended to leave.
Nohara Lin hurriedly returned the passbook that Haruko had handed to her to Jiraiya, so Haruko watched helplessly as the huge sum of money she had earned by selling her body returned to her big shot.
"Lin!" Haruko called her in disbelief.
Nohara Lin spoke to her firmly but gently, "Haruko, you can't cheat others out of their money, especially a savings account that can put you in jail."
Haruko, feeling like crying but without tears, could only stare at the candy money that she would never have to worry about in her life flying away.
Jiraiya curiously followed her gaze and looked at his passbook. He raised his hand and shook it a few times, and found that Haruko's eyes were indeed glued to it, and then he was sure that she liked money.
I never realized before that Haruko actually liked money?
Jiraiya was confused, but it was also an opportunity for him. After all, the money he saved from completing missions over the years was not a small amount.
Having decided to find a time when Haruko was the only one around next time and use the passbook to lure her away, Jiraiya left Hatake Kakashi's house contentedly.
Haruko was constantly brainwashed by Uchiha Obito and was told that she must never go with others for money.
Haruko: But he gave a lot...
