Although Jiraiya has some personality problems, he is also a proud person at heart, otherwise he would not have been able to catch up and become the most comprehensive of the three ninjas of Konoha.
Of course, this is also related to Jiraiya's practice of immortal arts, but considering the conditions that Jiraiya can practice immortal arts, his perseverance, talent, and character are naturally good enough.
Otherwise, the future Jiraiya would not have written the book "The Legend of Perseverance".
But precisely because of the determination and pride in Jiraiya's character, once he says it, it will become an unchangeable fact.
Especially saying the word "giving up" in front of Tsunade was enough to prove that Jiraiya had given up his "unreasonable desires".
Chishima Chiba, who knew everything about this, naturally had no intention of continuing to make things difficult for Jiraiya. As long as he corrected his wrong ideas and told him not to target his sister-in-law, he would have to take her in.
After putting down Jiraiya who was tied up like a dumpling, Chishima Chiba's expression immediately changed.
Jiraiya saw it all, and his heart, which had just been at ease, rose to his throat again.
Chishima Chiba is not going to mess with him again, right?
"What...what are you going to do now?" Jiraiya was really afraid of Chishima Chiba, and his voice was trembling.
"Nothing, just..." He rummaged in his pocket, "Here, this is a reward to congratulate you on your repentance and reformation."
"…"
Jiraiya looked at the candy dangling in front of him, feeling wronged and helpless. He was being coaxed like a child!
But he couldn't refuse it. After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya still reached out to take it, peeled off the candy wrapper in front of Chishima Chiba, and threw the candy into his mouth.
But it's true, after being stimulated, I put a piece of candy in my mouth and my mood improved inexplicably.
Similarly, Chishima Chiba was also very satisfied with Jiraiya's reaction. He gave Jiraiya a candy after tickling him, which was a replica of giving Jiraiya a sweet date after hitting him with a stick.
Although he could not burst out with domineering aura all at once and make Jiraiya bow down to him, this was also a start of combining kindness and severity, and it was sufficient preparation for the future.
Moreover, Chishima Chiba also knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he comforted Jiraiya, gave him a few more instructions, then turned around and left holding Tsunade's hand.
Watching Chishima Chiba and Tsunade leave, Jiraiya smiled bitterly. The hazy feelings that had been rising in his heart had only started for two or three days before they came to an end...
"Tsk, what's so good about a flat loli? I prefer a big sister."
Jiraiya comforted himself, but he really took it seriously, because the white scene in the women's bathhouse appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Shouting for candy, Jiraiya was revived to full health. After confirming that Chishima, Chiba and Tsunade had really left, he sneaked to the vicinity of the bathhouse.
…
With Jiraiya, a potential rival, dealt with, the only thing left was Kato Duan, but Chishima Chiba was not worried.
Tsunade and Kato Dan collided and sparks flew during the Second Ninja World War. By that time, Chishima Chiba was sure that Tsunade could take maternity leave.
So arrogant and confident!
After returning to Qianshou Station, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep. In the blink of an eye, a new day arrived as expected.
The first thing you see when you open the door is not only the morning sun, but also Senju Tobirama bathed in the sun.
Unable to help but rub his eyes, Chishima Chiba quickly walked over to him, "Grandpa Tobirama, you're back!"
"Well, the fighting on the front line has slowed down a bit, so I came back to take a look."
A rare smile appeared on Senju Tobirama's face. Although it was ugly, it was also a rare sight.
"Qianye, I heard from your grandmother Mito that you compiled a book on the will of fire?"
"Well, I'll show it to you right away."
Chishima Chiba quickly returned to the house, walked out again with the original manuscript of "The Will of Fire", and handed it to Senju Tobirama.
The ugly smile on Senju Tobirama's face disappeared, and he carefully read "The Will of Fire" written by Chishima Chiba.
After a long while, Senju Tobirama raised his head, and the ugly smile that had been hidden away appeared on his face again, and the curve was even much bigger than before.
"Very good, very good!"
Senju Tobirama raised his hand and patted Chishima Chiba on the shoulder, "You did the right thing. I plan to print it into a book. In addition to letting the ninjas learn it, it will also be included in the compulsory subjects of the ninja school."
Obviously, as a qualified politician and a relatively mature and pragmatic thinker, Senju Tobirama has realized the value of "The Will of Fire" and made a decisive decision.
Chishima Chiba would naturally not refute, and would even raise his feet and both hands to agree. In this way, if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to make any more moves on the ideological front, he would have to think carefully.
"Qianye, you have done a great job this time. If you want anything, as long as it does not violate my original intention, I can agree to it."
Immediately, Senju Tobirama gave a huge reward, and Chishima Chiba was even more stunned when he heard it.
It's not that he was stunned by the reward, but he was thinking about whether he should mention Tsunade's matter to Senju Tobirama.
But while he was thinking, when Chishima Chiba looked up, he happened to meet the warning look of Senju Tobirama.
The meaning is very clear, warning Chishima and Chiba not to go too far!
Curling secretly, Chidao Chiba backed off and said, "Grandpa Tobirama, I want to see your research manuscript."
"Study the manuscript?" Senju Tobirama thought for a moment and asked again, "All of them, or..."
"All of them, whether they were successful or unsuccessful."
"Qianye, you are a little too ambitious." Senju Tobirama frowned, "The more techniques, the better. Only those that match you are good."
"Grandpa Tobirama, I know about this problem, but I just want to study it." Chishima Chiba said very sincerely, "This is something that can add to the foundation of the village, what do you think?"
Senju Tobirama fell silent. He didn't want to show his dark side to Chishima Chiba, nor did he want Chishima Chiba to be exposed to too many forbidden techniques too early.
Because when Senju Tobirama was researching those forbidden techniques, he had to conduct some human experiments in secret. If Chishima Chiba was exposed to them too early, it would inevitably affect his psychological growth.
Senju Tobirama was right to worry, but he didn't know that there was an adult soul living in Chishima Chiba's small body.
"I agree, but I can't give it to you now." Senju Tobirama finally made a compromise, "I will give all my research manuscripts to your grandmother Mito, and when she thinks the time is right, she will naturally give it to you."
Chishima Chiba was somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only nod dejectedly and agree.
At the same time, Chishima Chiba reopened a topic.
"Grandpa Tobirama, if the pressure on the front line is too great, you can use the many forbidden techniques you developed before."
"Yes, I know."
Although Senju Tobirama agreed, Chishima Chiba could see some plans from his eyes. Senju Tobirama still did not intend to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique on the battlefield.
In addition to the fact that this technique is harmful to the harmony of nature, it should also be related to the warning given by Hashirama Senju. In the past, Tobirama Senju might not have taken it seriously, but since Hashirama Senju died, Tobirama Senju has changed a lot.
He may have taken part of the responsibility for his brother's early death on himself.
"well...!"
Sighing in his heart, Chishima Chiba stopped persuading him and chatted with Senju Tobirama for a few more words. Then, he turned around and knocked on Tsunade's door in front of him.
Senju Tobirama's face turned dark, and the mood that he had just thought of as having a successor was instantly shattered. He waved one hand, put it behind his back, and turned away angrily.
Out of sight, out of mind!
And he had more pressing matters to attend to.
Just as Chishima Chiba said, the pressure on the front line is quite high. Senju Tobirama returned to the village this time because he wanted to continue to transfer Konoha ninjas to the battlefield.
There is no doubt that the Senju clan's ninjas are still the main force in this war, but the pressure on other ninja clans in Konoha is also not small.
Konoha's war potential is about to reach the red line. If the war continues to be intense, it may become inevitable for children to go to the battlefield in the future.
