I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

"Drug maintenance? It seems they have further analyzed my previous research."

Glancing at the confusion on Haruko Asama's face, Tsunade explained to her.

"At that time, I gave up this method because of the scarcity and insufficient supply of materials. But since they are proposing it now, it means they must have found a way to solve this problem."

Haruko nodded thoughtfully in the morning, without telling Tsunade that they also had the same problem.

"But it's really great." Tsunade went forward and hugged her, his tone sounding tired after being extremely uneasy and relaxed.

Feeling the cherishment contained in her embrace, Haruko Asagi also hugged her gently.

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

A rough and majestic voice interrupted the warmth in the room.

Tsunade loosened her arms and looked towards the window, only to find that it was Jiraiya who climbed in through the window.

"Jiraiya? Why aren't you going through the front door again!?"

In spite of Tsunade's anger, Jiraiya laughed and scratched his head.

His eyes swept over Tsunade, and when he saw the face of the black-haired girl who had escaped from Tsunade's arms, his scratching head paused.

The next second, as if nothing had happened, Jiraiya waved at her and smiled brightly.

"Hey Haruko, long time no see!"

But beneath his carefree appearance, his eyes were filled with deep longing that could not be expressed in words.

After being stunned for a moment, Haruko smiled and said, "Long time no see, Jiraiya."

Jiraiya came to Tsunade to discuss information about Akatsuki. In the morning, Haruko left first as she was thinking of visiting Haruno Sakura.

"Akatsuki's actions are becoming more frequent. I think they will come looking for the Nine-Tails soon. I have already reported this to the Hokage. We will be on high alert in the next few days."

After a few days of running around, Jiraiya sat down in Tsunade's special chair without any hesitation.

Even though she couldn't stand his arrogant attitude, Tsunade decided to turn a blind eye considering that he was still of some use.

After finding that she still couldn't suppress her anger, Tsunade simply stopped looking at him.

She curled her lips and muttered, "I don't know how Qingzi can stand you."

Jiraiya, who was sitting with his legs crossed, turned around in his chair and answered slowly, resting his hand on his head.

"Of course she can't stand me, otherwise why would she say goodbye to me by asking me to get rid of the smell of this playboy?"

It was the first time Tsunade heard him talk about this, and she chuckled unkindly.

"It's true that he's not wrong. He hasn't changed after all these years!"

Hearing Tsunade's laughter, Jiraiya unconsciously recalled the scene when Haruko said goodbye to him -

"Hey Haruko!"

Jiraiya jumped down from the tree, landed gorgeously in front of Haruko, and struck a cool pose.

It's just that the thick, long white hair sticking out on the sides of his face, coupled with his sturdy and burly figure, always gives off a greasy vibe.

Even the considerate Haruko couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Jiraiya, this is not the way to act cool."

Realizing that he did not achieve the desired effect, Jiraiya quickly coughed and put on a serious expression.

"Nonsense, I'm a natural handsome man!"

Seeing Haruko smiling even more happily, Jiraiya walked over to her happily and squatted down.

Jiraiya really proved what he said when he was a child. When he grew up, he became the tallest among them. Even if he squatted now, his eye level was at the same level as Haruko.

Like a big white dog that is bigger than its owner, it squatted on the spot, sticking out its tongue in a naive manner.

Jiraiya couldn't wait to be the first to tell her the news, "Haruko, I'm going to take that silly boy on a trip to practice!"

Qingzi was stunned and asked, "How long do you plan to be gone?"

"Hmm..." Jiraiya thought for a while, and finally answered, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll probably come back when I feel it's ready."

"Is that so? I wish you a safe journey then."

I guess Haruko herself didn't expect that Jiraiya would say goodbye to each other before her.

Not noticing the flash of desolation in her eyes, Jiraiya pulled out a manuscript wrapped in a paper bag from his bag and handed it to her.

"This book is for you."

Haruko took it curiously, opened the paper bag and pulled out the first piece of paper, on which were written some bold and arrogant big words.

She read out the words one by one: "Intimate Paradise?"

Jiraiya, who was originally immersed in a smug mood, suddenly shuddered and hurriedly took back the paper bag from her hand.

"No! I got the wrong one, the wrong one!"

He looked at Jiraiya hurriedly stuffing the paper bag into his bag, and then looked at the embarrassed smile on Jiraiya's face.

Haruko seemed to suddenly understand something.

I didn't expect that the "Intimate Paradise" that tortured Kakashi was actually Jiraiya's masterpiece...

Haruko couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

“This is the one!”

Jiraiya pulled out another similarly packaged paper bag and carefully opened it to check the contents before handing it to her.

As she opened it, he proudly explained, "This is my autobiography, Jiraiya's Ninja Scrolls!"

"Thank you, I will definitely finish reading it as soon as possible."

After thanking him, Haruko couldn't help but glance at him.

"But instead of writing a book that's not suitable for children, why not write a second edition and tell my story? My story is healthier than that, right?"

Meeting her all-seeing gaze, Ziraiya reached out his hand unobtrusively and pushed the bag beside him to the back, as if trying to hide something, which only made it more obvious.

He smiled awkwardly to excuse himself.

"No! That's not a book that's not suitable for children, hahaha..."

It was really a huge loss of face, and Jiraiya could only be thankful that he had dark skin so the blush on his face could not be seen.

He stood up, waved to Haruko, and said he was leaving.

An indescribable impulse prompted Haruko to call him, "Jiraiya! We will meet again...after a long time."

Jiraiya blinked, grinned and patted his chest.

"Don't worry! Haruko is always in my heart!"

The feeling of being touched suddenly cooled and even froze. Haruko was silent for a few seconds and sighed.

"Forget it. I think it's more practical to pray that you can change the smell of this playboy."

"what?!"

……

Remembering Haruko's final slander against him, Jiraiya snorted and stood up suddenly from his swivel chair.

He shook his body, straightened his clothes, and struck the same cool pose, "I'm a handsome man who can shut up even a crying child!"

Ignoring Tsunade's disdainful look, Jiraiya muttered in dissatisfaction, "Haruko really doesn't care about me at all."

"Huh?" Tsunade's shock was evident in her words. She had no idea why he would think that.

Jiraiya said loudly like a child: "Isn't it!"

He is a 1.9-meter-tall strong man, but he is resentful because he doesn't get any attention. It's really funny.

Tsunade shook her head and looked at him seriously.

"Jiraiya, don't you realize that you have a special place in Haruko's heart?"

"When we were little, Haruko always liked to invite you to do anything. When we grew up, she often ate and chatted with you. When she heard that you stayed in Kirigakure, she went alone to look for you."

"Sometimes, we all envy you. You really don't know how lucky you are."
