Definitely. Some fanfics may take a more angsty route, perhaps exploring the idea of unrequited love between Tsunade and Jiraiya. Others could be more light - hearted, showing their interactions in comical or sweet situations. The beauty of fanfic is that it can take these characters and their relationship in so many different directions, depending on the author's creativity.
One common theme is unrequited love. Given their complex relationship in the original series, many fanfics play with the idea that one of them has feelings that the other may not be fully aware of.
Yes, there could be many non - adult interpretations of the relationship between Jiraiya and Tsunade. Their relationship can be seen in terms of their long - standing friendship, their shared experiences as ninjas from the same village, and their mutual respect for each other's skills and abilities. For example, they might have trained together in their youth, and their bond could be based on the challenges they faced during those training sessions.
The plot could be about Jiraiya finally confessing his love to Tsunade after years of being friends. For example, he could take her on a journey to a special place and there tell her how he really feels.
One possible plot could be that Jiraiya writes a new book, inspired by his feelings for Tsunade. Tsunade discovers this and realizes her own feelings for him in the process. As they work through their emotions, they also have to deal with the political and social implications within the ninja village, as their relationship could have an impact on the balance of power and the opinions of their comrades.
Love and sacrifice are also big themes. Tsunade and Jiraiya's relationship is complex, and when it comes to family, they often have to make sacrifices for the well - being of their loved ones. For example, in some fanfictions, Jiraiya gives up his wandering ways to be with his family.
In this fanfiction, their relationship would be transformed. They would be like a married couple in a way, but without the formalities. Jiraiya would probably tone down his womanizing ways as he has a family to think about now. Tsunade would be more open and less prickly around Jiraiya. They would bicker less and cooperate more. Their relationship would be centered around Naruto, and as he grows, they would grow together as a family unit, with their bond getting stronger over time.
One possible scenario in this fanfiction could be that Naruto grows up with a more balanced upbringing. Tsunade might teach him medical ninjutsu and how to control his emotions better. Jiraiya, on the other hand, would surely train him in powerful combat techniques and in the ways of the sage. Naruto would probably be more mature and well - rounded at an earlier age, with a combination of Tsunade's tough love and Jiraiya's adventurous spirit guiding him.
A fanfiction could depict their married life as a blend of adventure and domesticity. They could go on missions together, using their combined skills to defeat enemies. At home, they would enjoy simple pleasures like cooking together (even if Jiraiya is not a very good cook) and sharing stories of their day. Their relationship would be a balance of their individual personalities and the love they have for each other.
