Chapter 20

At the gate of Konoha, a middle-aged man with spiky white hair reaching his waist. That man is jiraiya, the toad sage of mount Myoboku.

He's at the gate waiting for his student, Naruto Uzumaki.

(A/N 60 is considered middle-aged…?)

Beside him is Sasuke, Arthur, and Sakura.

Originally, Sasuke was in a good mood when thinking about getting tsunade, so he dragged the other two to follow him but as an hour has passed, his excitement gradually faded.

It was mostly because of waiting for naruto, they can't go unless naruto is here. And an hour has passed yet no sign of naruto.

A few minutes later, a blond haired kid following behind him is 6 girls with otherworldly features. 6 kingdom-toppling beauties all in one spot.

Jiraiya, in all his life, has never seen such beauty in his life. Maybe the rest of team 7 has gotten used to their beauty and often ignored it but not jiraiya, the super pervert.

When they arrived in front of jiraiya, naruto jumped and said.

"Ero-Sennin! I brought the rest of my friends!!"

"Hm, your friends are interesting…" replied jiraiya as a perverted expression appeared on his face.

Saying this, he observed the physical features of the 6 girls.

On the outside, it looks like he's thinking of pervy thoughts but on the inside he's assessing the danger level of the 6 girls.

That's the reason why he came back.

Don't look at him as a pervert but everything he has done have a reason… most of the time…

He's quite good at making a façade. To make a good façade requires it to look genuine, and as his perverted nature is genuine, it's quite hard to see his intelligent side… most of the time…

Looking at the perverted sage, Altria only looked at him with amusement.

With her omniscience, she is able to see through everything, know everything, and understand everything.

A quick glance and he knows the entire existence or essence of the man known as jiraiya.

And he is a pitiful existence, he was heavily brainwashed in Konoha ideology.

So much so that he would abandon the love of his life just for Konoha.

"Hm? Have you seen enough? E-ro-Sen-nin?" said Altria amusedly.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes for a moment before returning to his perverseness while replying.

"Yes… Now let's start operation [Bacchus]!" said jiraiya with some exaggerated expression.

(A/N I think it's quite fitting name for finding an alcoholic woman…)

The group went out of the Konoha gate as they journeyed to a town where tsunade is last seen. On the way there, a familiar sound rang in sasuke's mind.

[*Ding, Host a mission is assigned. Mission: Make Tsunade Senju fall in love with the host. Difficulty: Hard Reward: Great Increase in overall strength. Accept/Decline?]

'Finally, it's been 3 years since a mission was given to me!' thought sasuke as he accepted the mission.

Altria saw all this with a smile as she licked a lollipop in her hand. When aina saw the lollipop, she looked at her(Altria) with puppy eyes.

When Altria saw her puppy eyes, a smile appeared on her face as she patted aina and gave her a lollipop.

"Aina~ You're so cute!" she said sweetly.

(Mc Pov)

With the sun setting, we arrived at a nearby town.

Me, konan, aina, and Murasaki went to book a room at an inn while the rest went to "gather information" with jiraiya.

In short, the way for information gathering from a super pervert is obviously from a bar.

When I think about it, the super pervert isn't that good. He left 3 children to fend for themselves because of his carelessness and basically chooses work over his life.

But what can you expect from this world, it's quite messed up, not that I care. Anyway, after booking 3 separate rooms, I brought the girls to a private hot spring.

I don't really want my girls to be seen… it feels… disgusting… so, when I arrived at the private hot spring, I put a multi-layered barrier with countless formations, seals, and runes.

The only purpose for those is to prevent unwanted people from peeking.

*cough* jiraiya *cough*

With the knowledge of standard etiquette for entering the hot spring, I washed myself cleanly and submerged myself in the hot spring.

A relaxing feeling courses throughout my body as I closed my eyes.

*poke*

'why is my chest feeling so hot…?'

*squeeze*

"Mhmn~!"

A soft moan escapes my mouth as I quickly opened my eyes. Aina's white and tender hand is on my chest.

"W-what are you doing? Aina??"

'how did the loli learn about this things? Unscientific. Not that she is created with the principles of science to begin with… but that's not the point.'

"Konan-nee said doing this will make master happy… is it wrong?"

The cute face of aina tilted as she asked.

"T-This is… n..o…t. w..rong… b..ut it's embarrassing!"

"then… should I stop it, master~?"

The innocent loli said this with a slightly sad face.

'a wise old man once said, "Never make loli sad."'

"it's fine…"

(A/N Well, that's it for the bath scene…)

.

.

.

As the bath scene is going on, Jiraiya's group went to a nearby bar to 'gather information'. It's more of a pleasure experience than a work experience.

Even though he gets information from here but it's quite inefficient.

"Ero-Sennin, What are we doing here?" asked Naruto.

Jiraiya answered with bluntly.

"Sasuke can tell you that."

He did some information gathering on everyone in team 7 from the Hokage.

What he found from Sasuke Uchiha is quite shocking, the kid started a famous 5-star hotel earning him millions, later he became stronger than the hokage but most shocking of all is…

He likes to go to bars.

Jiraiya then thought narcissistically.

'remind me of myself when I was younger…'

Even though the only similarities between them is going to bars but… ok…

Anyway, sasuke told the naruto all the things about what their going to do in this bar.

"N-Naruto, what we're going to do here is 'adult' stuff."

Even though sakura doesn't understand the explanation of sasuke, she still said.

"As expected of Sasuke-kun!"

A true brain-dead fan.

The only one who understands this is Arthur and Hinata. One is a modern person while the other received the basics of a modern person by Altria.

In the bar, jiraiya was surrounded by women while gathering information. The rest did nothing but drank orange juice from the bar.

The group of kids sat in a table near jiraiya as they debated about some topics.

The first topic is…

"Ne Ne, Who can beat Ero-Sennin?" [naruto]

Arthur, sasuke, and hinata raised their hands instantly.

"Are you sure?" [naruto]

The trio nodded firmly with their eyes exuding confidence like a fountain.

"G-Guys… I don't think this is a joking matter." [sakura]

Sakura's answer is quite understandable. Even if she saw the battle between Arthur and sasuke and the fight of hinata and Neiji, she still thinks it isn't easy to beat the toad sage.

Decades of prestige isn't easily shaken, you know?

The group debated with enthusiasm as this is quite a good bonding time.

(A/N Revisions, Revisions… by the way, No tsunade... even though she's really beautiful but the nagging feeling of old woman always springs in my mind when I think of her… age difference of 40-50 decades is no joke. Altria is an exception, she died at her early 20s plus the memories of trillions of years of seeing darkness, I don't think her mental age is that huge.)
