Another day of training is over.
Chishima Chiba and Tsunade saw off Hatake Sakumo at the intersection and made an appointment to train together again tomorrow.
Walking on the road, Chishima Chiba naturally took Tsunade's soft hand and swayed it comfortably.
Tsunade had long been accustomed to it. Her face was no longer red, and her breathing was very steady. Even when Chishima Chiba was not holding her hand occasionally, Tsunade always felt like something was missing.
While walking hand in hand, Chishima Chiba handed Tsunade a piece of candy with half of the wrapper peeled off. Tsunade naturally opened her mouth and bit it. Chishima Chiba only needed to peel off the remaining candy wrapper, and Tsunade could roll her tongue and swallow the whole piece of candy into her mouth.
The tacit understanding between the two made Jiraiya, who was hiding in the shadows and secretly observing, grit his teeth and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Jiraiya, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Jiraiya took a few deep breaths, turned around and told Orochimaru, "Did you remember what I taught you before?"
"I've got it, but are you sure you can do it?" Orochimaru couldn't help but let his throat move. "Chishima Chiba is now the best in the Ninja School. I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Jiraiya didn't care at all, "As long as we act quickly and complete our plan before Chishima and Chiba take action, everything will be fine."
"But I'm worried that..."
"There's no chance of that happening. Believe me." Jiraiya pushed Orochimaru, "Go quickly. Don't miss the opportunity!"
Orochimaru sighed deeply in his heart, nodded helplessly, and formed seals with his hands to perform the transformation technique.
puff.
With a slight sound, Orochimaru turned from a handsome little boy into a big bearded man. Just one look at him was enough to make people feel afraid.
At the same time, Jiraiya handed Orochimaru a black face cloth, "Cover your face just in case."
Orochimaru nodded, reached out to take it, and quickly put on the mask to cover half of his face.
The sounds of Chishima, Chiba and Tsunade talking and laughing came from far away, and Orochimaru was counting silently in his heart.
One, two, three, now!
Orochimaru jumped out from the corner of the alley and suddenly stood in front of Chishima Chiba and Tsunade.
Chishima Chiba and Tsunade were stunned for a moment, and then moved to the side of the road in a very synchronized manner, making way.
At the same time, the two continued the topic that had been interrupted just now, completely ignoring Orochimaru.
Looking at the two people passing by him, Orochimaru plucked up his courage and said, "Hey, you guys..."
"Is there something wrong?" Chidao Chiba turned his head and asked.
"...It's okay." Orochimaru took a step back, shook his head and replied sincerely.
"Orochimaru, what an idiot!" Jiraiya, who was hiding on the side, was anxious and could no longer bear it, and finally jumped out from the side.
"Hey, you dare to..."
Bang!
Just as Jiraiya rushed towards Orochimaru who was disguised by the transformation technique, before he could finish his words, Tsunade suddenly kicked him and sent him flying backwards.
"I was just walking normally, did I provoke you?" Tsunade frowned and glared, scolding, "The day before yesterday at the Ninja School, I knew you were not a good person. Today... hehe, it's as expected!"
Chishima Chiba on the side was holding back his laughter. He had long seen through Jiraiya and Orochimaru's tricks. But wasn't this old-fashioned hero saving the beauty a little too trite?
However, looking at Jiraiya's confused look, Chishima Chiba felt relieved. With Jiraiya's current personality, he could really do such a ridiculous thing without thinking.
"Tsunade, Jiraiya may have good intentions?" Chishima Chiba added fuel to the fire.
"Good intentions?" Tsunade sneered disdainfully, "Whistling and being impolite when greeting people, it's strange that he has good intentions!"
"That's right." Chishima Chiba looked at Orochimaru who was standing there stupidly, "You're not scared, are you?"
"A little... um... a little bit."
Under Chiba Chishima's pressured gaze, Orochimaru could only say this, while also apologizing to Jiraiya in his heart.
It's not that I'm not persistent enough, but that the opponent you picked is too strong!
When Orochimaru finished speaking, Tsunade on the side got angry again and punched and kicked Jiraiya.
"You'll scare passers-by!"
"No, I didn't!"
"Let you quibble!"
"Tsunade, listen to my explanation, it's not like that!"
"Keep quibbling!"
"No, it was that person who wanted to hurt you, I just..."
"Even if you hurt me, you don't need to care. Qianye is enough!"
After beating Jiraiya, Tsunade clapped her hands and stopped, "Remember in the future, don't think you can do whatever you want after becoming a ninja. Have you forgotten the ban that ninjas cannot harm civilians in their own country?"
"Besides, you are still a student, not a ninja, so don't neglect your studies!"
After saying a few words, Tsunade approached Orochimaru and said, "I have already taught that brat a lesson for you. If he dares to retaliate against you in the future, just come to the Senju base to find me."
"Okay... okay." Orochimaru nodded woodenly, then left quickly.
And he walked faster and faster, and soon disappeared around the corner, walking faster than running.
"Tsunade, you are a true hero for fighting against violence and upholding justice!"
Chishima Chiba smiled and gave Tsunade a round of flattery, which made Tsunade laugh.
"By the way, Tsunade, I remember there is a newly opened bathhouse in the village. Do you want to try it after dinner?" Chishima Chiba had a bad idea and spoke a little loudly.
"Mixed bathing?" Tsunade restrained her smile and asked in a low voice with a slight blush on her face.
"What are you thinking about!" Chishima Chiba raised his hand and gave Tsunade a slap on the head, "Are you going or not?"
"Go, of course!" Tsunade agreed happily, took Chishima Chiba's hand, pulled him up and ran, "Then go home and eat quickly, otherwise there won't be enough time."
Looking at the two people running away hand in hand, Jiraiya got up with a frustrated look on his face, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the bruise on his cheek.
"hiss..."
With a cry of pain, Jiraiya turned around limping, "Orochimaru, you're such a pig teammate!" Muttering softly, Jiraiya chased after Orochimaru with a distorted expression.
In the corner of the alley, Jiraiya grabbed Orochimaru by the collar and said, "How could you escape from the battlefield? I was totally wrong about you!"
"It's your plan that has problems, it has nothing to do with me."
"cut...!"
Jiraiya had nothing to refute. His plan was indeed too frivolous. Looking back now, Jiraiya felt embarrassed.
But soon, Jiraiya regained his spirits, "Orochimaru, there's a new bathhouse opening in the village, would you like to go with us tonight?"
"No, I'm wasting too much time with you. I need to go back and train harder to make up for it. Otherwise, the gap between me and Chishima, Chiba and the other two will only get bigger and bigger, and there will be no possibility of catching up."
At the same time, Orochimaru also solemnly told Jiraiya, "You have to work hard too. After all, you started late. If you don't work hard, you can only..."
"I know, I know." Jiraiya was a little impatient, "I'm just going to the bathhouse. I will definitely make up for the missed training!"
Orochimaru didn't say anything else. He nodded and turned to leave, leaving Jiraiya staring at his back in a daze.
After watching Orochimaru leave, Jiraiya regained his spirits, bent down and rubbed his hands, laughing, and his face slowly turned red.
An hour later, Chiba Chishima and Tsunade went out, and Jiraiya was just in time, lurking near the newly opened bathhouse in Konoha.
"Tsunade, send a shadow clone in to take a look around, and then release her." When they were near the bathing area, Chishima Chiba suddenly said something.
"Why?" Tsunade was confused. "I'm just going to take a bath. Why are there clones here?"
"Catch the thief." Chishima Chiba leaned close to Tsunade's ear and said mysteriously.
"Catch the thief?!"
"Shh!" Chishima Chiba pulled Tsunade onto the roof, "I heard that there is a peeping Tom in the village recently, who specializes in peeping at the bodies of girls outside the bathhouse."
"So rampant?"
"That's right, too arrogant!" Qiandao Qianye was indignant, "Second Grandfather fought on the front line, and we, as the younger generation, can only make contributions in the rear."
"Yes, we must catch that peeping Tom tonight!"
puff.
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, she raised her hand and created a shadow clone, then walked into the bathhouse with a swagger.
At the same time, Jiraiya, who had hidden himself well, was shocked, "Chishima and Chiba didn't follow? Hehe, good opportunity... I'll just take a look, just a look..."
Raising his hand to wipe the tip of his nose, Jiraiya tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and crept over stealthily.
"Is it him?"
After a while, a hint of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes who was hiding on the roof, and then uncontrollable raging anger jumped in her eyes.
"Ha." Qiandao Qianye sneered in his heart, "Jiraiya, this is your own problem. Don't blame me for being too ruthless later!"
Click.
Tsunade smashed the tiles on the roof with one punch. She couldn't help it, "Chiba, come with me to catch the thief!"
"Understood, Lady Tsunade!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them supported the roof with one hand and jumped down from it in perfect sync like agile little leopards.
