Jiraiya's mouth hung open, unable to speak. After all, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he knew some things absolutely could not be said.
Could he really, in front of Tsunade, say something like Naruto did: 'Yeah, yeah, what's the big deal if you girls let me take a look? It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh.'
He hadn't forgotten who caused his first near-death experience!
A slight smile played on Wujie's lips. It seemed the first part of the plan was very successful; Jiraiya's negative image in Tsunade's mind had clearly increased.
It's like when an able-bodied best friend trips on flat ground, you can mock him by saying, 'You little brat, did you go lame?'
But if it's truly a lame person who trips on flat ground, you absolutely cannot say that.
And Jiraiya, right now, was the one mocking the lame person with, 'Did you go lame?'
But this wasn't enough. He needed to make Tsunade dislike Jiraiya even more.
"'You're a big pervert!'—this is just an adjective without any real substance. Even girls can say this jokingly to their boyfriends. Jiraiya has always been in this state; 'big pervert' is just a descriptive label, without concrete content."
But what if it were more specific?
"'He secretly snuck into the women's changing room and hid in a locker to take secret photos!' Officer, this is the man!"
Let alone girls, even men would find such a person utterly disgusting!
And now, Wujie wanted to make Tsunade understand more specifically what Jiraiya had actually done.
Since you have such a huge weakness, don't blame me for exploiting it.
Wujie turned his head to look at Naruto. And I can also drive a wedge between him and Jiraiya.
He then said to Naruto, "A child like you might not yet understand the meaning represented by a wife and daughter. But you didn't just pop out of a stone. Since you were born in Konoha, your mother must also have been a Konoha ninja. Then, perhaps you can imagine, your mother, the one who gave birth to you, were all her private parts also thoroughly seen by Jiraiya, over and over again?"
"Eh?" Naruto suddenly froze. A knife, if it doesn't stab you, you'll never know how much it hurts.
Seeing Jiraiya like this, Tsunade, feeling a bit of sympathy, couldn't help but speak up to Wujie, "Although what Jiraiya did was definitely wrong, there's no need to go to such lengths, right? It's as if he's some heinous villain guilty of the ten evils."
"Of course not!" Tsunade denied it more vehemently than anyone.
"Then would you let him see all of you naked?"
Wujie sighed lightly, then said with a melancholic tone, "My dear Lady Tsunade, why don't you think about it carefully? When that Jiraiya was crouching on the rooftop, holding binoculars with a lewd expression, drooling while peeping at the women's bathhouse, was he really just 'looking'..."
Wujie began to scan Tsunade's entire body up and down, making her feel uneasy. "When he was looking at your smooth skin and private parts, what kind of filthy images were going through his mind to make him show that drooling, lewd expression? Lady Tsunade, it's not just you who has precious things. You should know, those girls might also be someone else's most precious wives, daughters, or even mothers. And the families of these girls are heroes who shed blood and sacrificed themselves for the village on the battlefield!"
Tsunade involuntarily shivered. She looked at Jiraiya and unconsciously shifted her body backward. So strange! Really strange!
How could something that seemed like no big deal before suddenly become so disgusting after being laid bare like this!
Tsunade quickly covered her chest with both hands, tightening her deep V-neck shirt. But the shirt was off-the-shoulder to begin with; no matter how she tightened it, she couldn't cover what needed to be covered.
Shizune gritted her teeth and, with an air of heroic sacrifice, immediately took off her jacket and draped it over Tsunade's shoulders.
"Shizune! You..."
Shizune, also wearing a short-sleeved shirt, blushed, bit her lip, and said firmly, "Lady Tsunade! I-I'm fine!"
Wujie chuckled softly, then took out a jacket from his bag and tossed it over. "If you don't mind."
Shizune received it like a precious treasure, quickly putting it on, and even gave Wujie a grateful look.
And at the same time, Naruto turned his stiff neck to look up at Jiraiya beside him, gazing at him with a pleading look, hoping Jiraiya wouldn't say something he couldn't accept. "P-Pervy Sage, you didn't do that, right..."
Jiraiya was so anxious he looked like he was about to jump to the rooftop. He quickly waved his hands in denial, "No, no! Absolutely not! I absolutely never did that!!!"
Hearing Jiraiya say this, Naruto couldn't help but sigh in relief. But how could Wujie let him off so easily?
"Heh heh, didn't you?" Wujie looked at Naruto and asked him, "Naruto, then can you tell me, where was it that you first met Jiraiya?"
Naruto's recently relaxed expression suddenly stiffened. "It... it was outside the wall of the women's bathhouse..."
"What was he doing?"
"He... he was..." Naruto hesitated for a long time, finally saying with difficulty, "He was peeping on girls bathing..."
Wujie used his eyes to stop Jiraiya, who wanted to speak up and refute. Then he continued to ask, "Then before coming here, where was Jiraiya, and what was he doing?"
Naruto had already resigned himself. He answered dejectedly, "He was in the izakaya, hugging girls and being intimate..."
Wujie's gaze became calm. "Then, Uzumaki Naruto, please tell me, would such a person, when peeping on girls bathing, just happen to spare your mother?"
Naruto lowered his head and didn't reply again.
Jiraiya's mind instantly went blank. The Child of Prophecy he had just found, was he lost just like that? "No! Naruto! You have to believe me! I really didn't peep on Kushina! She has such a terrible temper; if she found out, I wouldn't have gotten off easy either!"
"Heh heh, then wouldn't it be fine as long as you weren't discovered? What are those binoculars in your bag for? I heard you even have ninjutsu specifically for peeping. These can't be false, right? And..." Wujie chuckled. "Kushina, hmm? So you do know who Naruto's parents are. What, haven't you told Naruto?"
Naruto, snapping back to reality, suddenly lifted his head and looked at Jiraiya. "Kushina! Is that my mom's name!? Pervy Sage! Do you really know who my parents are!?"
Jiraiya opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Wujie spoke again, "Of course he knows. Otherwise, why do you think Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, would take an interest in an insignificant brat like you? Naruto, surely you don't actually think you have some outstanding qualities, do you? The only reason Jiraiya values you is because you are..."
"Stop!" Jiraiya immediately interrupted Wujie. If he was going to tell Naruto, he hoped it would be him who said it. "Naruto, my choosing you has nothing to do with anything else! It's because of your never-give-up perseverance, and your spirit of always moving straight forward, never going back on your word!"
"'Never give up, never go back on your word,' huh?" Wujie snickered. "If you put it that way, doesn't that Genin under Might Guy, Rock Lee, fit this description even better? Never give up, heh heh. Naruto, why don't you tell us, what were you doing during your time at the Ninja Academy?"
"What, don't want to say it? Let me help you recall. You were skipping class, slacking off, trying to pull pranks to get attention! But while you were doing these things, Little Lee was desperately training. Even when he was covered in injuries, so tired he could barely breathe, he still persisted in training! Naruto, honestly, without the legacy of your parents, you are nothing. Even when you initially stole the Scroll of Seals, you would have already been caught and thrown into prison as a rogue ninja."
Jiraiya also crushed his sake cup with a snap, a rare, intense killing intent in his eyes. "Shut up! If you say any more, I won't be able to stop myself from killing you!"
Wujie suppressed his laughter, his shoulders shaking involuntarily. "Hahahaha, is this the approach a village that advocates peace and understanding chooses? If you can't persuade others with words, you resort to eliminating them physically? I'm, really so scared."
Wujie's gaze became sharp.
Interesting, truly interesting! This is the first time I've seen this kind of fighting style! That Uzumaki brat isn't attacking Jiraiya's body, but trying to destroy his Ninja Way! I really didn't expect that those seemingly insignificant little things could become so complicated once investigated deeply. However, it's still too naive. How could the Ninja Way that a ninja like Jiraiya firmly believes in collapse so easily! No, wait, perhaps he isn't trying to break Jiraiya. According to his theory, he just wants to weaken Konoha, so there's no need to directly destroy Jiraiya. What he's doing now is just hammering cracks into Jiraiya's Ninja Way. If Jiraiya could get some time to sort out his thoughts, these minor issues wouldn't amount to much. But if he really became Hokage, and was constantly pushed to his limits by various cruel events... Heh heh, that kind of Jiraiya, I'd somewhat like to see.
Thinking this, Orochimaru immediately intervened, "Jiraiya, to think you'd lose your composure over such simple provocation. This appearance is truly unsightly."
Once Orochimaru spoke, Tsunade couldn't help but add, "Forget it. Threatening a child isn't your style."
Tsunade herself hadn't even noticed that her attitude was already shifting towards Wujie!
