Reunite with an old friend whom Jiraiya recommended, in addition to the izakaya, whether it is the stored homemade wine or the taste of dishes used for winemaking, they are indeed outstanding. So much so that the two of them, who are already generous, immediately opened their belly and feasted them while talking and laughing. Then as time passed by, I don’t know how many wines were fed by the two of them and fed them to the wine worms.

It is also because the intoxicating effect of the wine that was constantly poured into the two of them was warmly spread in their belly like cold water. Even though they were usually drunk and had a good alcohol tolerance, they still inevitably turned red and red.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, they lost their usual serious appearance. They leaned against the back of the chair, lying lazily and half-sitting on the soft sofa of the izakaya. They each held a huge glass bottle with two-thirds of the wine, tightly clamped their hands tightly. On the other hand, their eyes narrowed slightly, and with the intoxication that surged in their hearts, they opened up and joked about each other.

"Um... hiccup-! Uh... hehe, drink! Keep drinking! Jiraiya!"

The gradually growing spirit of alcohol made Tsunade collapse lazily on the sofa, joking at Jiraiya. The bright and beautiful eyes, which were originally full of anxiety and anxiety, began to gradually lose their minds and relax.

"You shouldn't... hiccup! You've just drunk this little bit, and you can't do it, right?"

It is obvious that Tsunade, who was distracted by the extremely rare abnormality he discovered during gambling, had already left all this behind his mind. His beautiful face, which was as delicate and fair as a girl, was already full of tempting blush. Driven by the warmth of wine, he unconsciously pulled the fabric that was already loose on his neck, exposing Tsunade's deep and plump cleavage to the air, attracting Jiraiya's straight and lustful gaze.

"Shut, what... hiccup... kidding-! This... this is just the beginning. I can drink two or three more bottles again!"

Jiraiya, who was also drunk and speechless, seemed to be a little drunk. While burping with satisfaction, he responded to Tsunade's teasing words intermittently. While pretending to be lowering his head and pouring wine, he could easily see the tempting spring light in front of him under his own intentional control.

"Hehe... It's a feast for you, it's a feast for you... It seems that you haven't seen each other for so many years, but the scale has grown a lot... Well, indeed, in this world, the best woman must be the slug princess of Konoha Ninja Village..."

Of course, Jiraiya's small movement of eating tofu with her eyes was not a possibility of not discovering it for Tsunade, who had already figured out his routine... Or in other words, the reason why Jiraiya had the opportunity to feast his eyes was that Tsunade deliberately gave this old friend a long-lost benefit.

After all, with Tsunade's understanding of Jiraiya, lust is a bit lustful, but Jiraiya is a "coward" who cares about Tsunade's feelings everywhere. Before Tsunade's personal permission, he will never have the "courage" to take action, and do anything extraordinary to Tsunade.

In other words, in Tsunade's view - compared to those hypocrites who are well-dressed on the surface but are extremely dirty in their hearts... When facing Jiraiya's unconcealed lustful gaze, Tsunade was more at ease and relaxed.

What's more, the disguised words that were heard from Jiraiya not long ago made Tsunade look generous and straightforward indifferent on the surface. However, as a sentimental woman, Tsunade, who knew that Tsunade had been unchanging for many years, was obviously impossible to be shaken and touched by Tsunade, who knew everything about Jiraiya's love for Tsunade for many years.

It is precisely because of this that even due to the two traumas left in his heart, Tsunade could no longer muster up the courage to respond and accept any new relationship. But in the name of drinking, Tsunade did not mind turning a blind eye and giving Jiraiya some welfare compensation.

"Well... I'm just looking at it anyway, and I won't lose a piece of meat... I just treat it as a reward for Jiraiya, who has never given up for so many years..."

Thinking of this, Tsunade brought a dizziness and unreality that was like falling from the clouds caused by the drunkenness. He forced himself to suppress and endure his heart, and then responded to Jiraiya who was looking at him with a fierce and violent instinctive reaction. While pretending not to notice Jiraiya's small movements, he watched Jiraiya's every move with a "dazzled and unconscious look". While Jiraiya was afraid that Tsunade would beat him, he couldn't help but want to see the welfare, and he showed his funny appearance of hesitation and struggle from time to time, he picked up a little while and laughed and scolded in a low voice.

"What a fool... I used to peep at me when I was taking a shower, but I didn't see you very much. I was afraid... I deliberately let you see you, but I was worried that I would hit you? I didn't think about it. How could I get drunk after drinking such a little wine..."

That being said, Jiraiya's lustful appearance that had almost no change from childhood was the consciousness of Tsunade, who had gradually spread out in her body. While she became a dazed, she gradually saw the figure of the person in front of her from a greasy uncle who had already entered middle age into a prime of energy. To just become a young man who could stand alone, she seemed calm and reliable. To just gain the name of a ninja, although her face and eyebrows had faded a little bit of youth, she still grinned and laughed, and the white-haired boy who looked quite innocent and innocent...

Finally, in Tsunade's eyes, Jiraiya's figure was frozen in the appearance of the carefree little kid he saw when he was connecting through the three generations of Naruto and the Mitsunomi who had just met each other.

At that time, compared with Orochimaru, who changed his temperament after losing his parents and seemed much quieter and taciturn. Tsunade, who was young and had a bit of a girl's introverted and shy personality, which led to a timid and afraid to speak... The three of them spoke first, and the awkward atmosphere was Jiraiya, who seemed inconspicuous and eye-catching in terms of appearance and temperament.

"My name is Jiraiya... Love letters or something, I'll give them to me later!"

Before Tsunade could come back to his senses, Jiraiya, who introduced himself, reached his right hand in front of Tsunade who was a little nervous and restrained. "I'll give you more advice in the future...hehehe!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that Tsunade's face did not ease at all, but because of my sudden call, Tsunade's mood became more and more tense. When Jiraiya introduced himself, the serious look he tried to maintain disappeared invisible in an instant. Then, while squinting his eyes and grinning, his whole image seemed particularly easy-going and easy to get along with.

Well, of course, although looking back now, Tsunade could imagine more or less - Jiraiya did this back then. In addition to being in a way that he really fell in love with himself at first sight, he was just a deliberate act to ease the awkward atmosphere between the three...

But when it was just the first time we met, the strange boy in front of us talked to him. He seemed to think that he must have liked him and had a crush on him, and he casually asked for love letters from him to destroy his first impression... As a result, Jiraiya's ending after saying this was quite "exciting and spectacular"...

"Puff...puff...hahaha...jiraiya! I said you guy, so stupid..."

"Puchi--! Cough cough cough... Haha?! I... am so stupid again! Hello!"

"You are just stupid, and you are all stupid, all over your body."

It was precisely because of recalling this interesting childhood story that Tsunade, who had originally frown, not only completely relaxed and relaxed. He also couldn't help but lower his head and half-cover his mouth in his guilty gaze, and bent his eyes and let out a pleasant laugh like a silver bell. Then he adjusted his posture to make himself lying on the sofa more comfortable. While Jiraiya sprayed the wine he had just entered and instantly changed the black question mark face, he curled his lips a little, revealing a nostalgic smile. Then he continued to talk as if a girl was coquettish.

"But, speaking of it, it's been so many years... Your silly aura hasn't changed at all, it makes people miss it... Among the three of us, you are probably the one with the least changes... It's great..."

At the same time, because this past incident reappeared in my mind, Tsunade suddenly realized while chewing on her own, and she was savoring...

Just as the love for oneself hidden in the heart of the person in front of him has never changed and shaken too much...

Grandpa Hashimara, Grandpa Tobirama, Grandma Mito, Brother Yokiki, Broken...

The important people around me left behind me and left ruthlessly one after another. In the end, the only person who could always be with me and spent the first half of his life with me was because the first impression caused by the deterioration of the first impression when I first met, and I was quite disgusted with the "narcissistic stinky little guy"...

And in my heart, when did I let go of my prejudice against Jiraiya and gradually accepted this teammate who seemed to be ineffective and disgusting. Then, quietly, I gradually got used to Jiraiya around me, and in my heart, a seedling of affection that was known as good feelings arose... Tsunade can no longer recall it.

But one thing is what Tsunade can confirm now...

If it weren't for the death of his brother that he had been immersed in major meetings for a long time and tried to prove to the village how important it is to equip a medical ninja in each ninja team. In the process, he met the words of his future lover Kato, who had similar interests, who would really walk hand in hand with Jiraiya.

After all, it is only a matter of time for Jiraiya to break through the last layer of window paper with his ten-year soft and hard work. Not to mention that in the Second Ninja World War, we joined hands to advance and retreat, and on the verge of life and death, we witnessed what it means to see true love in times of trouble. Jiraiya even protected Tsunade's safety, regardless of his own safety, and stood up several times for Tsunade's rise. The relationship between the two can no longer be summarized as the word "simple partner".

The most obvious evidence is that after hearing the news and witnessing the body of a rope tree covered with a shroud in blood... Facing Jiraiya subconsciously, she grabbed Tsunade's shoulder and buryed Tsunade, who had lost his former heroic image and showed the helpless and desperate little woman's posture, hugged Tsunade in his arms and silently soothed her. Tsunade, who was trapped in great sorrow, had no sign of resistance. She just let Jiraiya hold herself in her arms so that she could use Jiraiya's wide and thick arms to cover herself, and buried herself in Jiraiya's arms, and burst into tears.

It’s a pity that even Tsunade has completely recalled the past... But for Jiraiya’s still passionate love, Tsunade not only sighed in his heart that the unpredictable nature of fate that made people feel good. Even Tsunade was able to take advantage of the drunkenness and take the initiative to give Jiraiya welfare benefits, but he still failed to muster up the courage to walk out of the shadow of psychological trauma left in the past, respond to and accept this long-awaited feeling.

Because after so many important people left, Tsunade, who regarded himself as a woman who brought unknown fate to others, was completely unimaginable...

If Jiraiya, who had been silently accompanying him, lost his life and left because he accepted this feeling... could he still withstand this violent and painful blow at that time, so as to retain the last trace of clarity in his mind and not be desperate to be completely mentally collapsed.

"Ha? Just...even if you say that... the word stupid doesn't seem to be used to praise people at all, right?"

At the same time, Jiraiya, who seemed dissatisfied and complaining, had heard Tsunade's words, his eyes became more and more doting and gentle, obviously he had already made some guesses. However, from the beginning to the end, he did not say anything more. Instead, he naturally pulled the bottle away from Tsunade's hand. While using his idle hand to open the menu, he had not finished speaking, and before he could finish his words, he found a suitable sober soup for Tsunade.

"After that being said, you suddenly became so sentimental. You are afraid you are really drunk... How about it? Do I need to order you a sobering soup?"

"Soiling soup? No...no...I...I'm not drunk...I can still drink~"

"I can't even speak completely. I'm not drunk yet... Be good, obedient, it's not too late to continue drinking after sobering up..."

"Uh...hum, this is what you said... Come on, let's... pull the hook!"

"Ha? I said Tsunade, why do you look like a child after you get drunk..."

"What's wrong with the kid? Are you pulling the hook?"

"Okay, okay, hook and hook... I just hook and hook..."

Just like Tsunade knows Jiraiya, relying solely on the slightest doubts that Tsunade showed, he can guess Tsunade's inner thoughts and Jiraiya who came out. Of course, he can guess what kind of ambiguous meaning contained in Tsunade's previous abrupt words.

But after just a brief hesitation, Jiraiya rationally chose to avoid it as usual, and did not ask anyone anything.

After all, Jilai had made up his mind a long time ago to use his life to protect the stubborn and heart-wrenching woman in front of him...

Even though this relationship is very likely to not receive any response, for Jiraiya...

As long as Tsunade can get happiness...

That would be enough.
