24 Poor Jiraiya
"I was seriously injured! Why do they want me to leave the hospital tonight?"
Lying on the hospital bed, enjoying the care of the beautiful nurse, Jiraiya complained to Tsunade and Orochimaru, who were at the bedside.
"The old man asked us to take you out of the hospital," Tsunade, with her hands crossed in front of her, said coldly and unkindly.
Tsunade was extremely dissatisfied with Hiruzen's shameless behavior of snatching Orochimaru's disciple, so her mood had been bad all day.
"Does Sarutobi-sensei want me to die?" Jiraiya exclaimed indignantly.
"Sarutobi-sensei is planning to take Kizaru as his disciple. Tonight, let's go to the Uzumaki clan together," Orochimaru kindly explained.
After hearing Orochimaru's explanation, Jiraiya became even more confused.
Wasn't Kizaru Orochimaru's disciple? How did it become Sarutobi-sensei taking him as a disciple? Did this nephew suddenly become a junior disciple?
"Sarutobi-sensei believes he can easily defeat you, this infatuated Kizaru, who has excellent talent. So he plans to take him as his disciple and personally teach him," Orochimaru continued to explain.
"You infatuated fool, you're really embarrassing." After hearing Orochimaru's words, Tsunade suddenly realized that her disciple was snatched away, and the main reason turned out to be Jiraiya. She became even more disgusted with this guy.
"So it's all my fault?" Jiraiya pointed at himself with his fingers, saying excitedly.
"Otherwise?" Tsunade glared at Jiraiya.
"I... I didn't expect that kid to be so abnormal!" Jiraiya was at a loss.
"Shut up, stop whining. Get up quickly; the old man is still waiting for us." As she spoke, Tsunade directly took action.
Grabbing a corner of the blanket and lifting it, the white blanket covering Jiraiya's body was opened.
Feeling a chill on his body, the panic-stricken Jiraiya hastily used his body to block the view on the bed and complained, "What are you doing? Tsunade! How can you casually lift someone's blanket?"
Jiraiya's movements were fast, but Tsunade's eyes were even sharper. She had already seen the cover of the book.
Veins popped on Tsunade's forehead, and she, in a defensive posture, raised her sleeves and prepared to strike.
"Tsunade, you perverted voyeur!"
Seeing this, Orochimaru hurriedly took a step forward, standing beside Tsunade, intercepting the furious Tsunade.
"Calm down, Tsunade! Sarutobi-sensei is still waiting for us."
Orochimaru's words reluctantly had an effect. Tsunade put down her raised right hand, released the clenched fist, and loosened up a bit.
"This guy, only learned the old man's lecherousness."
With both hands raised in front of her in a defensive posture, Jiraiya, seeing that Tsunade didn't make a move, felt a sigh of relief, and relaxed slightly.
"You're not willing to be my girlfriend! If I can't read my books, what else can I do?" Muttering extremely softly, Jiraiya got off the hospital bed and onto the floor.
"What are you saying?" Tsunade glared at Jiraiya.
Quickly shaking his head, Jiraiya said, "Nothing, nothing! The old man is waiting for us, right? Let's leave quickly!"
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Tsunade said to Jiraiya, "When you recover from your injuries, I'll teach you a lesson properly."
Feeling a chill throughout his body, Jiraiya felt that he didn't have many days left before death.
...
At 7:40 in the evening, having finished dinner and a stroll for digestion, Kizaru, with his hands in his pockets, leisurely walked to the edge of the clan's training ground.
"Uncle, long time no see!"
Seeing that Danzo was already standing in the center of the training ground, Kizaru greeted him with a smile.
"Adjust your condition and don't disappoint me later."
With his eyes closed, Danzo's chin slightly lifted, facing the cool evening breeze, he closed his eyes to rest.
"Eeh… what a terrifying appearance!" Seeing Danzo's demeanor as if he was a transcendent figure, Kizaru smiled and admired.
Danzo wanted to continue educating Kizaru, but he remembered what Hiruzen told him in the afternoon about Kizaru defeating Jiraiya. So he forcibly held back his desire to lecture.
After all, if he tried to "educate" Kizaru now and Kizaru performed well in the upcoming battle, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face?
Danzo and Jiraiya were not the same kind of fools!
In his heart, Danzo silently thought, and his furrowed brow relaxed.
Standing at the edge of the field, Kizaru raised his hands, twisted left and right, and did a simple warm-up.
"Uncle, do we have to wait until 8 o'clock?" Warming up, Kizaru asked.
"Yes!" After a brief response, Danzo continued, "There has been a slight change regarding your instructing teacher."
"Oh!" Kizaru made a surprised expression, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"The Third Hokage is preparing to take you as his disciple and teach you personally," Danzo continued.
"Oh-ho! It seems I'm quite popular!" Kizaru said with a smile.
"Tonight, during our battle, Hiruzen will bring his three disciples to watch together."
"What heavyweight guests! It makes people nervous!" After the warm-up, Kizaru resumed the posture of hands in pockets, smiling.
"Nervous? Fat chance!"
Although Danzo didn't open his eyes, he couldn't hear any nervousness in Kizaru's tone. Instead, it carried a strong sense of provocation! It made people want to beat him up!
"Watch your tone, don't be disrespectful later!" Danzo warned in advance.
"Eh? What a difficult request!" Kizaru replied.
"Why does this kid speak so annoyingly?" Danzo sighed silently in his heart.
"Haha! I hope I'm not too late." Just as Kizaru and Danzo were talking, Hiruzen came with three ninjas from a distance.
"Not late, just in time!" Danzo opened his eyes and looked at Hiruzen.
"Uncle, I heard you're going to be my teacher?" Kizaru also looked at Hiruzen and said with a smile.
"Do you want me to be your teacher?" Hiruzen asked with a smile.
"Good evening, sensei!" Kizaru directly expressed his attitude.
"Hahaha! Good, good! You're indeed a good kid!" Hiruzen laughed more happily.
Danzo: "Two shameless guys!"
Tsunade: "Shameless!"
Orochimaru: "...…"
Jiraiya: "...…"
"Now that everyone is here, let the assessment begin! Kizaru, are you ready?" Danzo couldn't stand it and interrupted.
"Ooh, scary! Scary, Uncle!" Kizaru made a distressed look, lifted his leg, and walked into the training ground, approaching Danzo.
"I am not like Jiraiya and Danzo. Show me all your strength." Danzo said sternly.
As soon as Danzo spoke, Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all looked at Jiraiya. Even though he didn't open his eyes, Danzo couldn't hear any nervousness in Kizaru's tone. Instead, it carried a strong sense of provocation! It made people want to beat him up!
"Watch your tone, don't be disrespectful later!" Danzo warned in advance.
"What a difficult request!" Kizaru replied.
"Why does this kid speak so annoyingly?" Danzo sighed silently in his heart.
"Haha! I hope I'm not too late." Just as Kizaru and Danzo were talking, Hiruzen came with three ninjas from a distance.

"Do you want me to be your teacher?" Hiruzen asked with a smile.
"Good evening, sensei!" Kizaru directly expressed his attitude.
"Hahaha! Good, good! You're indeed a good kid!" Hiruzen laughed more happily.
Danzo: Two shameless guys!
Tsunade: Shameless!
Orochimaru:...
Jiraiya:...
"Now that everyone is here, let the assessment begin! Kizaru, are you ready?" Danzo couldn't stand it and interrupted.
"It's really scary, Uncle!" Kizaru made a distressed look, lifted his leg, and walked into the training ground, approaching Danzo.
"I am not like Jiraiya and Danzo. Show me all your strength." Danzo said sternly.
As soon as Danzo spoke, Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all looked at Jiraiya. Even though he didn't open his eyes, Danzo couldn't hear any nervousness in Kizaru's tone. Instead, it carried a strong sense of provocation! It made people want to beat him up!

"I am not like Jiraiya and Danzo. Show me all your strength." Danzo said sternly.
As soon as Danzo spoke, Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all looked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya: "???"
Feeling inexplicably implicated, Jiraiya wanted to explain, but found himself speechless. He could only lower his head in sadness.
With a more radiant smile, Kizaru looked at Danzo in front of him and said, "Then you better be prepared, Uncle! Don't get scared!"
As he spoke, Kizaru took a few steps back, creating distance between himself and Danzo.
"Let's begin!"
As Danzo's words landed, the atmosphere became tense, and the battle officially began!
