Konoha's Mission Master

"Tsunade's breasts have gotten bigger again..."

Jiraiya lowered his head and looked at the peak that was within reach. Suddenly, he could not suppress the heat in his body, and blood immediately gushed from his nose. At the same time, he involuntarily muttered something under his breath.

Damn it!

Tsunade instantly flew into a rage and clenched her fist.

"boom!"

The next second, Jiraiya's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing hard into the wall and leaving a dense network of cracks.

"Can't you have something else on your mind?"

Tsunade questioned angrily.

Crack... That was the sound of Rina Uzumaki's heart breaking. The golden aura that originally existed around Jiraiya and Tsunade vanished with this meeting.

Disappointed, right? You'll get used to it.

Yakumo sighed.

In my memory, there was a time when Jiraiya was peeping into the women's bathhouse and happened to run into Tsunade. He was hit and had several ribs broken, almost dying on the spot.

"It's not a bad deal," Yakumo thought to himself.

"Cough cough." Jiraiya struggled to get up, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Yakumo suddenly realized that Jiraiya was already injured.

These were the wounds inflicted by fighting Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja alone. In particular, the Sand Ninja's attacks often carried terrifying poisons, and even though Jiraiya swallowed an antidote pill in time, he could not completely avoid them.

"Master, Lord Jiraiya was already injured."

Yakumo thoughtfully reminded her that if Tsunade got angry and threw another punch, Jiraiya would most likely die on the spot.

"what happened?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade withdrew her clenched right fist and hurriedly asked a question. When her gaze fell on the bloodstains on Jiraiya's face, her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Just now, Tsunade threw a punch because of her fear of blood.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon."

Tsunade looked at Yakumo and said.

"Lord Jiraiya took me out of the village to gain experience."

Yakumo answered somewhat respectfully.

"Let's go find a place to eat, it's on me!"

Jiraiya wiped the blood from his face and returned to normal.

"Yay!" Shizune exclaimed happily.

During this time, she lived a very difficult and arduous life with Tsunade, since all their money was spent by Tsunade on alcohol and gambling.

The five of them arrived at the hotel's private room. Jiraiya and Tsunade drank heartily and recounted their experiences over the past few months, from Kusagakure to Amegakure, from Matsushita Shiranui to Danzo's assassination attempt... and even the death of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Tsunade's expression changed repeatedly. When she heard about the collusion between Danzo and Kusagakure, she showed real anger on her face, and she was surprised when Danzo was assassinated.

"You don't really need to push yourself so hard," Tsunade said, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, a hint of self-reproach in her expression. She then let out a burp, exhaling a strong smell of alcohol.

Tsunade knew that Jiraiya was so tired because she had not taken on the responsibilities she should have. Among the Sannin, Jiraiya had carried out the most and the most difficult missions, which honed his almost omnipotent abilities.

Sealing, illusion, infiltration... and so on.

Yakumo, Rina Uzumaki, and Shizune ate their grilled meat with their heads down, without saying a word the whole time.

"This is also for the sake of spiritual practice, and the old man is getting old, so I want to share some of his responsibilities."

Jiraiya's cheerful reply revealed that the most unreliable sage was bearing the greatest responsibility, while the descendants of the First Hokage were choosing to evade it.

"How's Orochimaru doing lately?" Tsunade didn't continue trying to persuade him, but instead changed the subject and asked.

Jiraiya raised his wine glass, his gaze becoming complicated.

“I saw him once a few months ago. His aura had become extremely cold, and even when he was facing me, his expression was devoid of any warmth.”

He then drank it all in one gulp.

This sake has a low alcohol content and a subtle floral aroma, so Tsunade and Jiraiya drank it in large gulps, but not to the point of getting drunk.

"Sigh, I tried to persuade him before I left, but you should know that it's very difficult to change Orochimaru's mind once he's made up his mind."

Tsunade rested her head on her left hand and spoke.

“I will definitely bring him back to the right path; his current thinking is far too extreme.”

Jiraiya assured him.

“This is difficult…” Tsunade said.

"I will do my best, after all, Orochimaru is a close friend I acknowledge," Jiraiya assured him again.

"Sigh." Yakumo sighed inwardly.

He could now almost foresee Jiraiya's failure in this matter; Orochimaru had already reached a point of madness in his pursuit of immortality.

"By the way, how did you manage to bring him out?"

Tsunade suddenly pointed at Yakumo and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya began to explain, starting with the conflict between Sakumo Hatake and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then moving on to Yakumo's special spy identity, but without mentioning Yakumo's true strength.

"That Sakumo Hatake actually wants to become Hokage?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

"No, he hasn't made up his mind yet."

Jiraiya then added.

"The old man is indeed getting old."

“That’s true…” Tsunade shook her head.

"You want me to support Sakumo Hatake?"

"I do intend to support Sakumo Hatake, but I absolutely have no intention of interfering with your thoughts," Jiraiya explained with a serious expression.

"Okay." Tsunade picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered the somewhat cruel truth that Aoyama Reiko had revealed in her letter: the old man had decided to sacrifice his best friend and disciple for the benefit of Konoha, a fact that Tsunade could not fully accept.

Yakumo lowered his head, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, Jiraiya, be careful when you take this guy on missions, since he's practically useless in combat and incredibly weak."

Tsunade pointed at Yakumo's head with her right hand, which was holding the wine glass, and gave him a concerned instruction.

"That's right, he is indeed pitifully weak."

A sly glint appeared in Jiraiya's eyes as he nodded in agreement.

"I will take good care of him."

"Cough cough cough..."

Rina Uzumaki coughed violently, her cheeks gradually turning red. A few seconds later, she spoke somewhat apologetically.

"Excuse me, sirs, I accidentally choked on something while eating."

"It's good that you're alright," Jiraiya said with a smile.

“I sense there’s something sinister about your smile,” Tsunade said.

Tsunade glanced at Yakumo, who was engrossed in his meal, then at Jiraiya, who was trying his best to suppress his laughter, and at Rina Uzumaki, whose face was flushed. Based on her woman's amazing intuition, she was absolutely certain that these people at the table were hiding something very important from her!

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Tsunade's voice gradually became fierce.

“No… absolutely not!” Jiraiya replied.

"Let's drink, let's drink!" Tsunade patted her chest and laughed enthusiastically, without asking any further questions.

After a few rounds of drinks, empty bottles were laid out on the table.

"Hiccup, Jiraiya, why did you come looking for me?"

"This kid wants to learn medical ninjutsu, and I need you to help me remove the remaining poison from my body. I fought with the Anbu from Sunagakure a while ago, and their methods haven't improved. They still like to coat their weapons with all sorts of random poisons."

Jiraiya replied, slightly drunk.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about your injury."

"boom!"

Tsunade unconsciously smashed the wooden table in the tavern.

Chapter 137 Monthly Mission Completed.

Inside the Zhenghe Hotel in the hot spring town.

Jiraiya's face flushed red, and he kept emitting suggestive moans. Tsunade, standing beside him, was covered in sweat, her figure curvaceous beneath her thin shirt.

The residual poison in Jiraiya's body was gradually removed by Tsunade, and the liquid in the basin next to them turned an eerie purple.

Yakumo was intently observing Tsunade's movements, not wanting to miss any detail.

Tsunade's technique for extracting minor ailments has surpassed the level of a fully accomplished master, incorporating her own understanding into it.

Without going through a master's breakthrough scroll, how long would it take to raise the proficiency of the Minor Ailment Extraction Technique to the master level under someone's guidance?

The answer is more than a month.

Through repeated study over this period, Yakumo's proficiency in the technique of extracting fine ailments has greatly improved.

initiative:

The technique for extracting minor ailments is now at its peak (80/600) with a speed boost.

One month might be enough to reach the master level.

"Hiss..." Jiraiya struggled to get up, Tsunade wiped the sweat from her cheeks and waved her hand.
