The old man was very happy.
"I'm back, old man."
Jiraiya, who never takes the usual path, opened the window of the Hokage's office and jumped in neatly, looking depressed.
It would be strange if Jiraiya got up in a good mood after being scolded and forced to swear a poisonous oath.
The Third Hokage was used to Jiraiya's behavior of always climbing windows and never going through the main door.
"I'm glad you're back. You haven't been back for so long..."
Before he finished speaking, the Third Hokage noticed Jiraiya's expression of grief, and stopped what he was about to say.
I was thinking of talking to Jiraiya about Danzo, but when I saw Jiraiya's expression, the Third Hokage's curiosity suddenly surged.
"This expression... let me guess, is he rejected by Tsunade again?"
Although the Third Hokage was in a bad mood recently, he hadn't seen Jiraiya for a few years, so he could still say a few jokes.
After all, Tsunade rarely talked to him now, and Orochimaru was nowhere to be seen all day. Among the three disciples, only Jiraiya could joke and find the feelings of the master and apprentice.
Jiraiya scratched his hair, and sank into the sofa as if his bones were soft, with a face full of annoyance:
"Compared to what happened just now, I still think it's easier to accept being rejected by Tsunade..."
"I finally returned to the village, and I've been holding it in for three years. I thought I could finally get some materials, but I was caught and scolded."
The Third Hokage was speechless.
After not returning to the village for more than three years, the first thing he did when he returned was not to report to the Hokage Building, but to peek again, and was caught?
The Third Hokage, who knew Jiraiya's personality, knew what Jiraiya meant by "collecting materials" without much thought.
However, you were just caught and scolded. With your thick skin, you wouldn't be so depressed, right?
"A little brat, he scolded me when he caught me, and his words were more hurtful than Tsunade's fist. He even forced me to swear that if I peeked at the female bath again, I would be impotent and have many children. There will be no way to collect materials in the future!"
Jiraiya wanted to cry but had no tears.
When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart!
Ye Ning!
It's Ye Ning again!
The Third Hokage thought of Ye Ning at the first time. There was no one else except him!
Who in Konoha doesn't know that Jiraiya is the disciple of the Third Hokage, a famous Sannin in the Land of Rain, and a hero of Konoha?
Only Ye Ning could scold him so shamelessly and force Jiraiya to swear such a poisonous oath.
But you must admit that the Third Hokage actually thought that Ye Ning was right in this matter.
In the past, Jiraiya had been caught peeping outside the female bathhouse. The victims couldn't find Jiraiya, the real peeper, so they could only sue him, the teacher, for which he had apologized for Jiraiya many times before!
Ye Ning's action... could be regarded as acting on behalf of the heaven, right?
"This kid named Ye Ning is quite interesting."
Jiraiya picked up the teacup beside him and drank it all in one gulp. The depressed look on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of interest.
"By the way, old man, isn't Ye Ning the son of the daimyo? Why did he appear in Konoha?"
"He is now a ninja in Konoha Village, and the daimyo asked for it himself."
The Third Hokage took a deep breath and briefly described what happened to Ye Ning after he came to Konoha.
He also recounted Danzo's experience to Jiraiya.
But Jiraiya didn't react much to this, and even silently praised Ye Ning in his heart.
Jiraiya never liked Danzo's dark personality. This time when Danzo was in trouble, he was at most gloating over the misfortune. Expect him to sympathize with Danzo and denounce Ye Ning?
Forget it.
He and Danzo are not so close.
What's more, this matter was originally Danzo's misconduct and was caught by someone.
It was his own fault to end up like this, and no one else could be blamed.
Of course, the Third Hokage didn't tell Jiraiya everything.
At least, he didn't mention the White Fang incident.
Hatake Sakumo had a good relationship with his three disciples. With Tsunade already alienated from him, he didn't want Jiraiya to be dissatisfied with him.
"So, this Ye Ning is related to Tsunade?"
Jiraiya seemed to have some doubts.
He nodded thoughtfully.
This way, I can understand why Ye Ning’s punch to himself feels very familiar.
He said that something seemed strange.
Now think about it, isn’t that strange power!
“Well. Tsunade has been locking herself up at home because of the war. It was Ye Ning’s guidance and comfort that allowed Tsunade to gradually come out.” The third generation hesitated for a moment, but still said it.
In fact, he still felt a little disappointed.
When Tsunade needed comfort the most, you ran away to who knows where. You came back only after others had walked out of the pain.
It makes sense that you can’t catch up with Tsunade!
You deserve it!
“Well, I know.” Jiraiya nodded. Although he looked indifferent, he was also a little bit uneasy in his heart.
When Tsunade lost important people one after another and needed company the most, he was not there.
The person who accompanied her out of the shadow was not herself, but someone else.
It seems that he is always one step behind, just a little bit behind.
Seeing Jiraiya like this, the Third Hokage was inexplicably a little angry, and immediately said unhappily:
"I warn you, don't bother with that Ye Ning, if anything happens, you can solve it yourself."
"I know, I know, can I still fight with him? That would be too much to bully that kid."
Jiraiya waved his hand, not taking the Third Hokage's advice to heart.
The Third Hokage's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't remind him again.
After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words.
The Third Hokage had a hunch that Jiraiya would definitely suffer a big loss from Ye Ning!
It would definitely be the kind of loss that Jiraiya couldn't say!
After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage spoke again:
"Are you leaving again after coming back this time?"
"Well, he should stay for a while, right? After all, I'm not a very competent teacher. I finally came back, so I have to teach him something."
"That's good. Minato has done a lot of tasks recently, so it's just right to give him a vacation to relax."
The Third Hokage rubbed his temples and breathed a sigh of relief.
Three disciples, each one is more troublesome than the other!
One locked himself up at home and drank all day, one was not seen for several days in a row, and another disappeared for three whole years!
As a teacher, he was so tired!
