Hanabi finally left with a satisfied burp. By the end of the meal, she wasn't so annoyed with Naruto anymore, probably because Naruto had given her so much.
Hanabi's appetite only allowed her to eat less than a fifth of it, so Hinata had to digest most of it. In the end, both sisters were very satisfied.
Naruto's side was a bit overwhelmed because he and Sasuke were woken up in the middle of the night by the smell.
Jiraiya didn't know where he had been wandering until midnight, returning reeking of alcohol and falling asleep, with a perfume scent on him that belonged to who-knows-who.
Naruto pondered the possibility of crashing in Sakura Bro's room for two seconds. They were all brothers, so this little thing shouldn't be a problem... right?
Forget it, a friend's wife is not to be trifled with.
Fortunately, Naruto had a sudden inspiration and solved the problem in a ninja way, leaving Sasuke in awe and determined never to get drunk in front of Naruto again.
...
The next morning, Naruto and Sasuke called Sakura to go downstairs for breakfast. Jiraiya was still fast asleep.
After a while, sunlight shone through the window onto Jiraiya's face, and a bubble of snot burst with a pop.
Jiraiya opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and wanted to turn over, but... failed to turn over.
Jiraiya: ???
Am I sealed by a Cotton Quilt?
Looking at the dense Sealing Technique formulas on the quilt, Jiraiya was dumbfounded. After observing carefully for a while, he barely made out their functions: soundproofing, confinement, and a string of things that seemed to block odors?
Ah, this...
This must be Naruto's doing, right?
This kid has learned Sealing Technique well. No, now is not the time to marvel at this. I just slept, did you have to put a bunch of Sealing Technique on me? Really!?
Jiraiya perked up and, without much effort, undid the seal.
Naruto himself hadn't set up a very strong seal, just to prevent him from going crazy when drunk or snoring in his sleep, and to block the stench of alcohol on him.
Jiraiya went downstairs, grabbed Naruto's plate, and started eating without saying hello.
Naruto's chopsticks, which he was using to pick up food, poked the table as he asked, "Pervy Sage, what are you doing?"
Jiraiya said unhappily, "What am I doing? I want to ask you what you're trying to do!"
When Sasuke heard this, his guilty eyes wandered around. Yesterday, he had been happily watching the fun from the side, and he had also activated his Sharingan to copy a few Sealing Technique.
Naruto, however, was righteous and retorted, "Otherwise, what else could we do? You were so drunk and had strange smells on you, how could the two of us sleep?"
Jiraiya didn't care: "Just a little bit of alcohol smell."
Naruto was unhappy: "A little bit? It's a sky-high stench of alcohol, okay!
Yesterday, you taught us that 'a so-called ninja is someone who can endure.' Is that so we can endure you?
Old man! Tell me yourself, how many of the three ninja prohibitions have you broken?"
Jiraiya was not only not ashamed but also justified himself: "What do you know? How can collecting information be considered a violation?"
Naruto said sarcastically, "How is it? Is your stomach using Ninjutsu to digest information from alcohol?"
Jiraiya mumbled indistinctly while eating, saying incomprehensible things about ninjas, intelligence, and gathering material.
Naruto ignored him and ordered another breakfast.
Sasuke watched Naruto and Jiraiya bickering with a bit of envy. He realized that Naruto seemed to be able to get along casually with everyone.
Whether it was his parents, Kakashi-sensei, or classmates like Shikamaru and Choji, or even the legendary Jiraiya.
Naruto always joked when he wanted to, and played pranks when he felt like it, and it never seemed to offend anyone. Like now, when he tried to secretly snatch the fried egg from his plate… Huh? Fried egg?
Sasuke slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, word by word, "Uzumaki! Naruto!"
"Huh?" Naruto looked at Sasuke innocently, with the fried egg in his mouth.
"..."
After staring at his adorable face for a while, Sasuke suddenly smiled:
"Never mind, eat it." How could anyone hate him like this?
Naruto chewed the fried egg in his mouth and swallowed it, feeling inexplicably that anything he snatched from Sasuke tasted especially good.
Sasuke picked up his chopsticks again and divided the fried egg that Sakura had carefully placed on his plate into two halves, giving one half back to Sakura.
Seeing Sakura's delighted expression, Sasuke smiled even more happily. He was so glad to be in such a great team.
Then, Sasuke carefully guarded the rest of his food, wary of Naruto's sneak attacks.
Jiraiya watched the three of them playfully fighting and thought of his own two teammates. Back then, his team was just as harmonious and friendly. I was even more handsome than that Uchiha kid, and more talented than Naruto. And Tsunade was as gentle as that pink-haired girl… gentle?
Jiraiya shook his head, feeling a faint pain in his chest. He must still be drunk to think that Tsunade was gentle.
As a woman, she was less gentle than even Orochimaru.
...
After breakfast, the four of them went to a small mountain outside the town, where Jiraiya was going to guide the three little ones in their training.
First was Sakura. Jiraiya found that this little girl was amazing. Her Chakra control was incredibly good, and her medical knowledge was impressive. She was practically a spitting image of Tsunade in her youth, even her ironing board figure was exactly the same as Tsunade's when she was young.
Jiraiya wasn't proficient in medical Ninjutsu, but he had a teammate who was, so he recalled Tsunade's training when she was young and gave Sakura some suggestions. As for the future, he would let Tsunade teach her. If he had brought this little girl along because of Naruto's request, now Jiraiya genuinely wanted to introduce her to Tsunade.
Sasuke had the Sharingan combined with Chidori, and he was also skilled in Fire Release and Body Flicker Technique. Jiraiya told Sasuke about his experience in dealing with various Ninjutsu and the timing of using Ninjutsu—Naruto's style of indiscriminate bombardment was a negative example. Finally, he suggested that Sasuke and Naruto try practicing Wind-Fire Combination Ninjutsu.
This explanation changed Sasuke and Sakura's impression of Jiraiya, from a perverted old man to a knowledgeable perverted old man.
Jiraiya directly threw a scroll to Naruto: "This is the Chaotic Lion Hair Technique I promised you before, but I suggest you don't be greedy. Focus on mastering Water Release and developing advanced Ninjutsu for the Rasengan."
"Okay." Naruto obediently agreed, but in reality, he planned to have it all anyway, since he had Shadow Clones, he could be willful.
"You guys train hard, I'm leaving. The place where I gathered information last time is a bit suspicious, I'm going to investigate it again." Jiraiya turned around, his expression immediately turning comical.
The three of them put away the little bit of respect they had managed to muster and looked at him disdainfully as he left.
