Chapter 88

"What? Jiraiya climbed the Hokage Rock ?!" Akabane was shocked when he heard the news.

Shouldn't he still be badly injured? How could he climb Hokage Rock?

"Yes, Akabane-san." Kasumi Kurama said while panting heavily. He got this news from a buyer.

"All right, I'll be there to take a look, and you go back to the shop."

As Akabane walked towards Hokage Rock, he heard a lot of people talking about Jiraiya.

A crowd of people walked over to the nearby Hokage Rock.

"What the hell is that idiot doing ?!" Akabane was taken aback.

This news almost shocked the entire village.

On various roads, the citizens looked up and saw the Hokage Rock from a distance.

Akabane saw a figure who was painting the Hokage Rock from the path.

"Damn, this idiot really scribbled on Hokage Rock, didn't he think about the consequences he would bear ?!" Akabane muttered to himself.

So far, no one has dared to scribble on Hokage Rock, and only Naruto has dared, that too in the future.

In front of Hokage Rock.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing you, idiot? Get down!" The Third Hokage shouted angrily.

"Sensei, I want you to see …" Jiraiya shouted at him, "The art I made, this is my own handcrafted!"

"Jiraiya! Damn you!" Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage, who was initially very angry, immediately froze.

By now, Akabane had arrived just below Hokage Rock.

With her excellent sense of hearing, she could hear Jiraiya's words even though they weren't very clear.

Huh, huh…

Akabane lifted his head with a gasping breath and saw Jiraiya standing beside the Hokage Rock, then bowed.

"What makes Jiraiya like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe something made him feel sad." Akabane doesn't know what happened to Jiraiya.

That afternoon, suddenly Jiraiya climbed the Hokage Rock, there must be something that made him like that.

"Who did it?" Tsunade was astonished.

Even though Jiraiya seems very cheerful lately, except when he finds out that Haku is a man, he doesn't look that sad.

Does Jiraiya, who is always cheerful, have psychological problems?

"Lately, the Third Hokage doesn't pay much attention to Jiraiya, and his eyes …"

Suddenly remembering Orochimaru's cleverness, Akabane immediately stopped his sentence.

Tsunade slowly looked at the wall next to the Hokage Rock.

"I see." She immediately understood.

Having undergone special training, Jiraiya wanted the Third Hokage to see his progress, and he even challenged Orochimaru.

"What a fool this fellow." Tsunade's words were cruel and heartless, but her tone was soft.

"But, if left to continue like this, he will trouble a lot of people." Akabane sighed.

Currently, the wall next to the Hokage Rock was covered in graffiti that Jiraiya had made.

Although his work is not very good, it is better than Naruto scribbles.

Everyone will immediately recognize it when they see it.

"Jiraiya, come down now! Even though you didn't pollute Hokago Rock at all, scribbling on the next wall is also not allowed." The Third Hokage shouted and then sucked up his smoking pipe, he already understood the problem, now it only remains to ask this brat to come down.

"Sensei, look at my painting!" Somehow Jiraiya felt very sad.

For the first time, he was pleased that the Third Hokage gave him attention personally, not Orochimaru.

"Yes, I know very well that your painting skills are excellent, now come on down!" The Third Hokage sighed.

"You know very well?" Tsunade was dumbfounded for a moment.

Is it true that Sensei knows his painting skills… very well?

Akabane was silent, but his face showed a doubtful expression.

In a sense, the Third Hokage might not be lying, but the truth was questionable, and she shouldn't have spoken directly like that.

At the same time, he saw a shadow spread from above the Hokage Rock.

Shadow Clone Technique!

"Jiraiya doesn't seem to have finished his painting yet." Akabane laughed.

He felt strange and could feel a shadow moving above his head.

"The Nara Clan has stepped in, and soon the Yamanaka Clan will also be helping," Tsunade said casually, she was sure that they would stop Jiraiya.

But now she feels sorry for Jiraiya about something else…

"Hopefully, Sensei can forgive him when he comes down." Tsunade sighed.

"The Third Hokage is feeling guilty now, and he will be fine." Akabane turned and left.

Akabane tried to link this incident, and he got a little hint.

After thinking about it, there must be something that made Jiraiya like that, and I was worried that it was Orochimaru.

"You seem to have understood the situation. Tell me, what happened?" Tsunade caught up with him.

"I don't know; this is just my hypothesis," Akabane said while looking at the mountain wall behind him.

Jiraiya's painting skills are much better.

"Tell me even if it's just a hint, I'm very curious!" Tsunade intercepted Akabane.

"I guess Jiraiya has come to Orochimaru to invite him to a duel. And Orochimaru accidentally provoked Jiraiya." Akabane said while shrugging his shoulders.

"Maybe you are right." Tsunade agreed with Akabane's answer.

"Orochimaru might just want to help Jiraiya, but … you know what kind of person Orochimaru is." Akabane laughed and didn't continue.

"The guy looks cold, and to comfort and help his friend; I'm afraid he's not very good at it." Tsunade sighed.

Although that is not necessarily true, in his opinion it is most likely correct.

On the other hand, Orochimaru might not have thought that Jiraiya would go this far to prove himself.

"Ahhh! Why are you asking me to come down?"

Not far from there, Jiraiya's scream was heard.

"You idiot, you're overdoing it. If in the future you do something like this again, I will bring you down myself!" The Third Hokage walked away from him and said, "Now, go and clean your scribbles!"

"Okay …" Jiraiya touched his head and sighed.

"Now go, there's nothing for you to watch!" The Ninjas began to disperse the crowd.

Jiraiya tried to lift the water, but he was having a hard time because his hand was still injured.

"Ayu goes to help him." Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and was about to get on to help, but Akabane stopped her.

"No, let's just go, let him be with the Third Hokage."

"Uhh … that's what I wanted to try to say." Tsunade reacted and turned her head. She saw the Third Hokage standing under the Hokage Rock, and then she looked at Jiraiya who was wiping the scribbles he had made.

Akabane walked away, but his heart sighed.

Someone just wants attention from others, but other people perceive him as a nuisance and want to get rid of him. How ironic.

Luckily Jiraiya got what he wanted.

"By the way, Akabane, when will the Comic Exhibition be held?" Tsunade asked curiously.

"Regarding the event, we are no longer involved in organizing it, Danzo-sensei and the Third Hokage will arrange the planning of the event." Akabane shook his head.

He suddenly realized something when Tsunade asked about this. He had something to tell Tsunade.

After thinking for a long time, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

"By the way, have you got someone to play Uchiha Sasuke?"

"I've got it, Orochimaru wants to play it."
