266. Arrival of Urashiki

A/N:- Thanks for your wholesome comments. It made my day. Enjoy the bonus release today. Also, I have set a patre0n goal of 50 chapters for this series after which I will restart my Fairy Tail fan-fic. The new plot of Fairy-tail will be different and I will follow my writing style of this novel and create a new OC with a new origin in Fairy-tail while keeping the integrity of the Original intact. i.e. I will use elements of Fairy-tail to create my own AU version of it but every major plot change will be a part of Fairy tail lore just like this novel.

Tell me, if you prefer this unique writing style of mine or will make do with no major addition except for MC.

P.S. I won't start writing Fairy-Tail until next month. It's reserved as a anniversary celebration for this novel.

-------------------

A month passes in the blink of an eye.

Phew…

Izuna takes a deep breath as he stares at the completed seal.

"It took us a month with 7 hours per day to complete this seal."

"Yes, if this help can restrict the enemy, then it is worthwhile." Minato nods his head.

"Ah! I am so beat." Kushina massages her arms.

"Brat! You better pay me handsomely for this great Jiraiya-Sama's service."

Jiraiya waves his hand and T-poses.

"Of course!"

Izuna takes out an envelope from his pocket and passes it to Jiraiya.

"Oh! How rare of you?" Jiraiya has a smile on his face as he receives the envelope.

"I have been lacking some funds lately. This came right on time." Jiraiya pockets the envelope.

"Open it!" Izuna instigates him to open the scroll.

"Oh! You want me to count the money. How great of you?" Jiraiya happily opens the envelope.

He slightly pulls the contents of the envelope to take a peek.

Jiraiya's expression freezes as his hands' trembles.

"Not to your liking!" Izuna playfully smirks.

"Or do you want more?" Izuna takes out another envelope from his storage and passes it to him.

"Ah!"

Jiraiya grabs the envelope with trembling hands. He slowly opens it with fear in his eyes.

Gulp…

Jiraiya peeks inside from the corner of his eyes.

"Oh! What is it Jiraiya-Sensei?" Kushina curiously asks him.

"Oh! It's nothing… nothing at all!" Jiraiya hurriedly pockets the scroll.

"I have some urgent business to take care of, I will see you soon."

Whoosh…

Jiraiya hurriedly turns around and dashes from the place.

Haha…

Izuna chuckles at Jiraiya's departing back.

"He is always in a hurry." He shakes his head and turns to Minato.

"Minato-san! Our hard work has finally paid off. Let's visit hot springs to relax. I was about to invite Jiraiya-san too but he left in a hurry."

"Alright! I also want to relive some exhaustion from this hard work." Minato agrees with him.

"I will come too. Let me invite Mikoto, Tsunade-sama, and others." Kushina hurriedly departs for Konoha.

"Then, let's get going."

-------------

Back in Konoha,

"Aww! Why I have to be dragged in your assignments?" Boruto grumpily follows Naruto and the rest of Konoha 11 members.

"Now! Now! Stop whining! Let's get the job done." Naruto pats his back.

"I am not whining. But after all that… why it has to be cleaning the hot springs? And I am not even getting paid for this mission."

Boruto swings the mop in his hand.

"I just can't get into this." Kiba has a mop in his hand.

"Too bad! We don't have much of a choice. It's a direct order from Lady Fifth. Besides, we also get to soak in hot springs after cleaning." Shikamaru shakes his head.

"Oh! Really?" Boruto asks him.

"Yes!" Shikamaru nods his head.

"Then I will be right back!"

Boruto dashes out of the bathhouse.

"This guy, he looks and behaves like Naruto!" Shino remarks silently.

Outside the bathhouse,

Boruto takes out a bottle with the label 'Instant Itch Powder' from his pocket.

He takes out a towel from one of the cabinets and sprinkles on it.

"Hehe! I will get back to you for bullying me. This waterproof Itch powder will surely do the trick."

He returns to the bathhouse as the group is discussing the recent events.

"Maybe there is something else going on! I even heard about an emergency drill from clan higher-ups." Neji remarks.

"Who cares about that! C'mon, let's hurry and get this cleaning over with."

"Ok! Shadow clone Jutsu!"

Naruto makes some hand clones and rushes through the hot spring.

"I won't fall behind." Boruto crosses his fingers and makes shadow clones.

"Oh! Then, it's on! Come on, Akamaru!" Kiba's competitive nature kicks in.

Woof… woof…

Akamaru jumps on top of his head.

"Man-beast transformation combo"

Two Kiba appear with mops in their hands. Both of them dashes through the bathhouse.

"You guys are full of energy! Aren't you?"

Shikamaru lazily brushes the floor.

"Here I go!"

Lee grabs two mops while walking upside down.

"Look, guys! Watch me!"

Naruto grabs a hose.

"Water Style: Water Jet Jutsu"

He waves the pipe around.

"Be careful with what you are doing?" Shino warns them with a feeble voice.

The group ignores him like usual and Naruto continues to waves the hose around.

Psst…

He drenches Boruto in water.

"My bad! Hehe!" Naruto scratches his head.

"Oye! You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Boruto glares at Naruto.

Boruto grabs a shower hose and points it towards Naruto. He turns the hot water tap on.

"Now watch me!"

"Water Style: Hot Geezer-no Jutsu"

He aims it at Naruto's face.

"H… Hot! Hot! Hot!!"

Naruto squeezes the end of the hose and gathers a large amount of water at its end.

He points it towards Boruto and releases the pressure.

"Eat this! Water Style: Full power Water Jet"

Whoosh…

Boruto ducks and avoids the water jet.

At Men's Bathhouse entrance,

Izuna, Minato, Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, and Jiraiya enter the bath.

"Man! I am so beat!" Jiraiya cracks his neck and turns to Izuna.

"Damnit, brat! You are so mean. You didn't even invite me to hot springs."

"It's not my fault if you leave in a hurry without even listening." Izuna shrugs his shoulder.

"Hmph… Anyway, I am going to enjoy myself."

Jiraiya pushes the gate and enters.

Whizz… Gurgle… gurgle…

A pressured water jet to the face welcomes him.

Pfft… Haha…

Izuna cracks up in laughter. While the faces of the rest of the group turns red from holding their laughter.

Jiraiya blocks the water with his hand and angrily turns to the kids.

"Which of you is causing the trouble?"

The group turns to Naruto. Naruto is still holding the hose in his hand as few water droplets drip from it.

Phew…

Shikamaru heaves a sigh of relief as he closes the tap.

"Oh! Pervy Sage! It's you." Naruto immediately throws away the pipe.

"Brat! Stop creating trouble?" Jiraiya harrumphs and walks towards the bath.

"Hey, dad! Kakashi Sensei! Izuna Nii-san! Shisui Nii-san and Itachi Nii-san!" Naruto waves at them.

Boruto also follows him.

"Alright! Let's enjoy ourselves!"

Kakashi and the rest jump in the bath.

"Ah! It feels so good." Kakashi closes his eyes.

Naruto and the rest of the group stare at him as Boruto question them.

"Why does he wear his mask even in the bathhouse?"

"We don't have an answer for that." The group shakes their head.

"Oh! You want to know the reason." Izuna incredulously stares at the group.

"Yes, we do!" The group nods their head.

"Alright! Listen! I have known Kakashi since I was four years old and it has almost twenty years since then. But to this date, I have never seen Kakashi remove his mask."

"Oh!" the group exclaims.

Izuna beckons them as he whispers.

"I think he was born with his mask, or how else can you explain it?"

"Really?" The group has a doubtful expression.

"Oye Izuna! I can hear you." Kakashi glares at him.

He turns to the Konoha 12 group.

"Since you guys want to see my face, I will remove my mask. But it will be the last time I will do so."

Kakashi slowly removes his mask with his left hand.

Suddenly,

Scratch… scratch…

Jiraiya scratches his nuts as he feels itchy down there.

"What's going on? Why I am feeling Itch all of a sudden?"

Plop…

He jumps in the water to get rid of the scratch but the itch persists.

"Damnit!"

Jiraiya grunts and dives into the water again. He reappears in between the group and Kakashi. The towel around his waist loosens up and slides from his thighs.

"Ah! I feel relaxed now." Jiraiya sighs in relaxation.

"My EYES!!"

The members of the Konoha 12 instantly close their eyes but the scene is still burned in their memories.

'No wonder, Tsunade rejected him! That thing is… too small!"

Izuna whistles and turns his head away.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Jiraiya feels a gust of cold air between his legs.

"Oh No!"

He instantly grabs some foam to hide his prestige.

"I will be right back!"

He grabs the towel and dashes out of the bathhouse.

Meanwhile,

Kakashi wears his mask again.

"Kakashi Sensei! Can you show us again? We missed it!" Naruto complains.

"No! I told you, I will only show you once." Kakashi turns around and soaks in hot water.

"Ah! So good!"

"Now do you believe me?" Izuna asks the group.

"We do!" All of them nod their head in unison.

--------------

"That was a good bath! I feel so relaxed." Izuna and the rest of the bunch walk out of the hot springs.

"I didn't enjoy it at all." Jiraiya mumbles.

Izuna ignores him.

Whoosh…

A shadow appears in front of the group.

"He is here!"
