I have a shop in the Ninja World. I have everything you want.

The Land of Hot Springs.

Outside a female bathhouse, there was a middle-aged man with white hair and stubble on his face. He was leaning against the window with a wretched look on his face, looking inside thiefily. There was a big "Oil" on his forehead. This man was the "yellow" in the "yellow, gambling and drugs" of Konoha Village, Jiraiya.

"Hehehe, today's girl is really hot!" Looking at this scene, Jiraiya's eyes lit up and his saliva almost flowed out.

While staring at the inside, he sighed: "Sure enough, it's only in places like this that I can find inspiration for a new book!"

However, just when Jiraiya was reading with great interest, a strong voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"You bastard, you're peeping into the female bathhouse again!" Hearing this voice, Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around to look.

I saw a burly auntie rushing towards me angrily with a broom next to her.

Jiraiya's eyes widened in horror. Just as he was about to explain, the broom was already within reach. With a muffled "bang", the broom hit him directly on the head, and a cloud of dust was immediately raised.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Jiraiya quickly covered his head and screamed with gritted teeth. However, before he finished speaking, the aunt raised the broom again and hit him hard. Seeing this, Jiraiya dared not stay any longer and ran away in a hurry.

"Don't run!" The aunt roared and chased after him. Jiraiya was panicking and ran while shouting: "Help! Someone is killing people!"

For a while, the whole street was in chaos, so lively...

"You old bastard, I'll beat you to death!" The aunt roared, and the veins on her arm holding the broom bulged. It was hard to imagine that the owner of this muscle was just a cleaning lady in the bathhouse.

"Auntie, I was wrong! I won't do it again!" Jiraiya begged for mercy, covering his head.

"You said the same thing last time!" The angry auntie swung the broom and hit Jiraiya on the back.

Jiraiya felt the pain and quickly quickened his pace.

After a long time, Jiraiya finally got rid of the auntie behind him. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I am one of the three ninjas of Konoha after all, but I was chased and beaten by an old lady all over the street. It's really getting worse and worse..."

"Gurgle"

Suddenly, his stomach rumbled.

"Oh, I'm so hungry. It seems I have to find a place to eat first." Jiraiya touched his rumbling stomach and looked around for a restaurant.

He came to a tavern, which was bustling with people coming and going.

Jiraiya walked in and sat down, ordering a bowl of ramen and a glass of wine.

While waiting for the noodles, Jiraiya looked at the people around him and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "This is the life of ordinary people. Although ordinary, it is full of warmth and happiness."

Soon, the ramen was served, and Jiraiya ate it with big mouthfuls, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Just then, the discussion of several people around him made him pause in eating noodles, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of those people.

On a table not far away, several men were drinking and chatting. One of them smiled and said, "Have you heard? The third generation of Hokage of Konoha Village was forced to step down by the villagers!"

Another man asked curiously, "Is it true? What happened to the third generation of Hokage? Why did he suddenly step down?"

The man who spoke at the beginning shook his head, "I just heard it from a businessman. He just came back from the Land of Fire yesterday. I don't know the details. It seems that the third generation of Hokage collapsed..."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's mouth twitched, and he murmured, "Can't the old man be found peeping in the women's bathhouse like me?"

Thinking about it, Jiraiya's face showed A smirk, "Hehe, it must be like this, otherwise how could the old man be driven out of office by the villagers with his prestige?"

Speaking of this, Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully and said to himself: "Well... it should be like this, but then again, doesn't the old man have that magical crystal ball? Why doesn't he observe directly through the crystal ball, but instead goes to the scene in person? Is it because it would be more exciting to watch it on the spot?"

Thinking of this, Jiraiya suddenly realized that this is the case. How could the picture in the crystal ball be comparable to the immersive excitement of being there in person...

When mentioning the crystal ball, Jiraiya couldn't help but think of more than a decade ago.

As early as decades ago, Jiraiya coveted the crystal ball in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand and longed to have it, but every time he asked the teacher for this, he would be rejected.

Sarutobi Hiruzen always said that the crystal ball was an important tool for him to maintain the peace and stability of Konoha Village, not a toy for people like them to satisfy their personal desires.

At that time, Jiraiya still believedHe thought it was true until one day he suddenly entered the Hokage's office, only to find that the Third Hokage was staring at the crystal ball intently, completely immersed in it, and didn't even notice Jiraiya's arrival.

When Jiraiya saw the picture in the crystal ball clearly, his whole worldview collapsed. He didn't expect that his teacher would be such a person!

He didn't expect that the teacher who was highly respected in their hearts would secretly use the crystal ball to peek into the female bathhouse, doing what Jiraiya always wanted to do but couldn't do...

So, Jiraiya stood beside the teacher without hesitation and watched the wonderful pictures in the crystal ball together. The two drooled while enjoying this intoxicating scene.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen finally realized Jiraiya's existence, it was too late. In order for Jiraiya to keep the secret, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to lend the crystal ball to Jiraiya.

In this way, Jiraiya happily took the crystal ball home. During that time, Jiraiya stayed at home all day and was completely immersed in the temptation of the crystal ball.

During this time, he had an inspiration to write a book, so he started to write a happy book for otakus - "Intimate Paradise".

This "Intimate Paradise" is full of elements that otakus like, with rich and colorful content and fascinating. Unexpectedly, the book caused a huge sensation as soon as it was launched, and sales continued to rise, becoming a bestseller.

Jiraiya also became famous because of this. In addition to his identity as a ninja, he also gained a highly-regarded identity as a novelist.

Thinking back to the present, Jiraiya smiled helplessly, and he sighed: "Teacher, how old is a man not lustful..."

Jiraiya has already determined in his heart that the old man must have been accidentally discovered by the villagers when he used the crystal ball to peek into the women's bathhouse before, and then caused a very bad influence in the village, and finally had to abdicate...

After all, not many people in the village knew that the old man liked to peek into the women's bathhouse, and now it may be that everyone knows about it, which led to his late reputation being lost and he was forced to abdicate.

"It seems like it's time to go back to the village..." Jiraiya muttered.
