"Jiraiya"

Tsunade opened her mouth and called out softly into the grave.

The trembling voice even scared her.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound.

Tsunade took a deep breath, shook the fire stick in her hand, and finally strode into the tomb passage.

"Cha-"

The eternal lamp lit up again.

With the help of the firelight, Tsunade finally saw that Jiraiya was sitting with his head down on the coffin.

At this moment, he was biting his nails nervously, and it seemed that he had no idea how to deal with the next situation.

“What do you think?

"You let a child deal with that situation while you yourself hide away in a place like this?!"

When Tsunade saw Jiraiya's expression, she was furious.

She put one hand on her waist and punched hard on the stone wall of the tomb, saying:

"are you a pig?

“Only three years old?!

"Damn you, when are you going to grow up like a man?"

"Well?!"

Before Tsunade could finish her words, Jiraiya suddenly jumped down from the coffin lid, reached out and hugged the other person tightly in his arms.

"you"

This sudden bold action made Tsunade's face froze.

Perhaps it was because of the environment, Tsunade felt a little breathless as she breathed in the masculine scent from the other person.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here right now."

Tsunade stiffened.

Although the words were harsh, the tone was not as strong as usual.

"You could have killed me."

Not only did Jiraiya not let go, but he held her even tighter.

He lowered his head and whispered softly in Tsunade's ear:

"But before that, please be my wife."

"!!"

Tsunade was shocked.

She had thought that one day, Jiraiya would really say something like this.

But

For some reason, Tsunade felt angry.

She suddenly pushed Jiraiya away and shouted angrily:

“Jiraiya!

“You’re always like this.

"You're a complete and total fucking asshole!"

Having said that, Tsunade still felt unsatisfied.

She raised her hand and was about to slap the other person's face.

Unexpectedly, this time Jiraiya did not get beaten in a funny way as usual. Instead, he suddenly raised his hand and firmly grasped Tsunade's wrist.

He asked loudly:

“What’s wrong with me?!

“These days, I have thought it through very clearly.

"Tsunade, we've already wasted too much time!

“As ninjas, you and I can die at any time.

"But, it is precisely because of this that we should cherish every day that we are alive, right?!"

Cherish each other every day we are alive?

The overwhelming emotions that had surged through her heart when she had seen Jiraiya's body that day were once again vivid in Tsunade's eyes.

"Why.

"Why are you always like this, turning whatever you think into something immediately?!

"Today you said you wanted to marry me, what about tomorrow?

"Damn you! How can you live so carefree?!"

Jiraiya's expression was stunned.

Tsunade's eyes were red, she looked straight into his eyes, and loudly expressed her grievances:

“You never care about other people’s feelings!

"You said you would fake your death, so you faked your death. You said you would leave the village, so you left. You said you would stay in the Hidden Rain Village, and you didn't care for three years!

"Then, on a whim, you traveled all over the world for your ideal of being the child of prophecy.

"With great difficulty, Uchiha Sasuke showed up and made you look more like a man, but what about now?!

"Now, in order to support that brat, you are treating the peace of the village as a joke!"

As she spoke, Tsunade's mind became increasingly clear.

The dizziness I felt earlier because of the passionate confession and the tight hug had now disappeared without a trace.

"So, is this how you think of me?"

Jiraiya stood there blankly, then smiled to himself.

He slowly let go of Tsunade's wrist and lowered his head dejectedly.

He said to himself:

"Oh, what a failure."

At this moment, Jiraiya felt depressed and turned around and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

Behind him, Tsunade silently looked at the other person's back, and the look in her eyes gradually became more and more disappointed.

That's it again.

Always like this

However, after walking a few meters, Jiraiya suddenly stopped.

He made up his mind, turned around and quickly returned to Tsunade's side.

As he walked, he quickly said:

“Wrong.

"Everything you said about me is totally wrong!

“I’ve never been one to just do whatever I want.

"There have always been only three things throughout my life!"

Jiraiya was seen walking towards Tsunade with big strides, looking excited.

The tall figure caused the candle flame to flicker, and he said loudly:

“The first thing is Konoha’s peace!

"The two Ninja World Wars, the Konoha Defense War, when Konoha needed me, was there any time that I was not there?

“However, Konoha’s peace cannot be maintained by simply killing a few more enemies on the battlefield.

"During the Second Shinobi World War, the three of us watched helplessly as so many of our companions fell beside us. You and I both know this very well!

“Sarutobi-sensei’s ideas simply won’t work!

“Orochimaru embarked on a quest for immortality, and you gave up on becoming a ninja.

“I’m the only one who hasn’t given up on this world!

"The Son of Prophecy is the faith I am pursuing!

"You're calling me ridiculous? That I was only trying to support Sasuke?!"

Jiraiya reached out and slapped his chest hard, only to hear a thumping sound, and was very excited:

"I tell you!

“It sometimes takes more courage to believe in the power of others than to believe in yourself alone!

"On the contrary, today's Uchiha Itachi is an example!"

Jiraiya waved his arms excitedly, pointing in the direction of Shadow Rock outside the cave.

Tsunade stared at the other person in a daze, only to feel that the tall body blocked the moon, like a small mountain, blocking her way.

"And you, Tsunade."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.

He seemed to have made up his mind and said seriously:

“You are the third thing in my life.

“Like the identity of a ninja, and the desire for eternal peace, this has never wavered and remains constant throughout.

"When I first met you at the age of seven, I knew my life was over.

“Your existence is something I want to touch all my life, but I dare not lose.

"I dare not say it. I cannot bear the possibility of losing you. Even if we are just friends, staying by your side and being beaten up by you is happiness enough for me.

“You’re like

"I"

Jiraiya became tongue-tied and could only stammer:

"Anyway, I thought it was enough for me to just watch you from afar.

"But now, I don't want to live like this anymore. We've wasted too much time.

“Like the sun!

"Yes, you are like the sun that I dare not lose or embrace."

Tsunade opened her mouth blankly, listening to this passionate confession, and felt strange emotions rolling in her chest, surging like waves.

On the other side, Jiraiya's blood was boiling.

I saw Tsunade still standing there in a daze.

He got so excited that he leaned over and kissed her.

"Well?!!"

Tsunade opened her eyes wide in disbelief and instinctively wanted to push the other person away with her hands.

But he just felt his feet go weak and he could hardly stand.

Jiraiya kissed her passionately, and when he noticed that she was swaying, he took the opportunity to steady Tsunade's waist.

Through her clothes, Tsunade felt the hot and rough palm, and for a moment she was a little confused and excited.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya slowly raised his head and looked at the woman in his arms in disbelief.

I just feel that at this moment in life, it is worth it even if I die.

"I"

When Tsunade came to her senses, she felt her cheeks were terribly hot.

Her eyes were filled with spring tears. She was about to say something, but was blocked by Jiraiya again.

As the air gradually became tense, Tsunade finally responded.

The two of them embraced each other passionately, and more than a decade of repression was completely released at this moment.

The two of them were like a raging fire, wishing they could burn each other completely.

Half an hour later.

Tsunade was seen with messy hair and wrinkled clothes. She was leaning gently on Jiraiya's broad shoulders, breathing slightly.

On both sides of the slightly flushed cheeks, there was a faint glow of satisfaction.

"So, how are you going to come back and tell everyone?"

White fingers as white as green onions gently stroked Jiraiya's chest.

After the frank communication just now, the two of them were obviously much closer than before.

"Otherwise, I won't come back."

Jiraiya stared blankly at the rock ceiling in the cave, his mind blank, and spoke without thinking.

"!!"

Hearing this, Tsunade immediately got up.

She just looked at Jiraiya in disbelief, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but all that came out of her mouth were embarrassing swear words like those in forums.

After a while, Tsunade finally came to her senses. Her eyes widened and she asked in a cold voice:

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry."

Here, Jiraiya, realizing that he had spoken out of turn, immediately got up.

He quickly grasped Tsunade's hands, looked at her affectionately and said:

“I haven’t really thought about it.

“The situation is indeed a bit complicated and tricky, but we can definitely discuss it, okay?

"I'll listen to you in the final decision."

Tsunade was finally coaxed a little by the soft whispers of consolation.

She was seen tidying up her clothes while turning her head to look aside, no longer looking at this annoying guy, and said in a cold voice:

"So, what do you think?"

"You just mentioned the three children from the Rain Village, do you still remember them?"

Jiraiya said as he put his arm around Tsunade's shoulders and sat down again.

The two of them faced each other, holding hands, and said seriously:

“Not long ago, I received accurate information.

"These three are most likely the founders of the Akatsuki organization."

"!"

Hearing this, Tsunade was really surprised.

She was keenly aware of what the news meant.

For Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, it is indeed a big problem that it can be exploited by people with ulterior motives and used to create various things.

Before she could ask, she heard Jiraiya continue:

“If, all this is true.

"Then, I am afraid I did make a big mistake back then."

Here, Jiraiya looked seriously into Tsunade's eyes and said:

"The destruction of Takigakure, the decline of Sandagakure, and the demise of Kirigakure.

"The ambitions and conspiracies of the Akatsuki organization have developed to a point where they are difficult to control, and everyone in the ninja world knows about it.

"And we, the Konohagakure, are the holders of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Based on the integration of existing intelligence, there is a high probability that it will be the opponent's next target.

"If all this really happened, then even if I die, I'm afraid it will be difficult to atone for the sin."

Here, Tsunade had also come back to her senses. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke again:

"Although Akatsuki is strong, it is not a match for Konoha.

“Uchiha Sasuke alone has defeated members of the opposing team many times.

"Now, the village already has you, me, and the rapidly growing Uchiha Sasuke, as well as Kakashi, Might Guy and other strong men.

"Even if the other side really dares to launch an invasion, I think..."

"You don't understand. That kid."

Jiraiya interrupted, his mind once again revisiting the memory of the first time he saw Nagato with the Rinnegan.

After a pause, Jiraiya said slowly:

"Right now, due to Uchiha Itachi's disruption, the fight with Shimura Danzo has gone from a big victory to a miserable victory.

“Then if the fact that I faked my death were to be exposed at this time, I’m afraid it would only have an adverse effect on you and Sasuke.

"Also, regarding the Akatsuki organization, if I wait for them to attack, then it will be difficult to continue hiding everything that happened to me in the Hidden Rain Village.

"By the time."

Jiraiya looked solemn and said seriously:

"I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on Sasuke's performance as Hokage.

"Shimura Danzo is dead. For Konoha right now, this is the best time to integrate in more than 30 years.

"I don't want to see the emergence of another Shimura Danzo.

"Therefore, I must nip this hidden danger in the bud."

"But."

Tsunade's eyes flashed with worry.

On the other side, Jiraiya shook his head firmly and said:

"If it weren't for Shimura Danzo being a thorn in my side, I would have already started doing this.

"I had an agreement with Sasuke before. After stabilizing Konoha, I will go to the Rain Village to find out the specific situation of the Akatsuki organization."

Having said this, Jiraiya's voice finally softened again. He gently stroked Tsunade's cheek and whispered:

"But I promise you that this time I will go there mainly to confirm the authenticity of the information.

“Once you succeed, you will never fight again.

"I already, I absolutely cannot bear to die."

Hearing this gentle and affectionate confession, a look of sadness flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

In fact, as Jiraiya said, it was not until today that she truly understood the man in front of her.

Absurdity and romanticism may really just be appearances.

Beneath that ridiculous disguise, what was beating in Jiraiya's chest was indeed the heart of a hero in the ninja world.

How could Tsunade, who was a man of great sense and righteousness, not sympathize with the man's painstaking efforts?

However, the ups and downs of "losing and regaining, gaining and losing again" almost drove her crazy.

"Promise me that you will come back alive."

Tsunade also reached out and gently held Jiraiya's big hand.

In an instant, Jiraiya's heart was filled with great pride and happiness.

He just laughed heartily and reached out to embrace the charming woman in front of him.

While stroking my back, he said loudly:

"Don't you always lose when you gamble?

"Then bet on me that I won't come back alive this time!"

"I'm annoying you!"

In that broad chest, Tsunade also felt as happy as a little woman, and she gently hit Jiraiya.

Following that, Tsunade also hugged the other tightly.

Life is long, the past is hard to catch up with, and Tsunade doesn't know what the future holds.

At this moment, she just wanted to grasp the rare, fleeting happiness in front of her.

Only this broad and warm chest is real.

After a moment, Jiraiya pushed Tsunade away again, looked into her eyes lovingly, and said seriously:

"I said, when I come back alive."

Hearing this, Tsunade's pupils suddenly dilated, and in her ears, she clearly heard Jiraiya say:

"We will hold the wedding as soon as possible."

"!"

Tsunade's eyes widened involuntarily as she stared blankly at the man in front of her.

"Hey, speak up!"

Jiraiya urged nervously.

"Ok!"

After a long while, Tsunade finally nodded heavily.

As she nodded, tears began to fall.
