He could only pass the time by studying ninjutsu.

Lian Ye took off her sunglasses, sat up from the recliner, and said in a fawning tone.

"Uncle, I have a promising young researcher here. If you have time, you can mentor him in some research..."

"The seedling you're talking about is Orochimaru, right?" Tobirama Senju asked calmly.

This kid just lies at home all day, how could he possibly know any promising young researchers?

It could only be his disciple, Orochimaru.

"Hehe, Uncle guessed right!" Lian Ye rubbed her hands excitedly. "Look at this matter..."

Some time ago, Orochimaru came to Renya and asked him to introduce him to the Second Hokage.

Tobirama Senju was a rare scientific research talent in the ninja world, and Orochimaru naturally wanted to learn from him.

As a teacher, he would naturally not refuse his disciple's request and agreed without hesitation.

Orochimaru has exceptional research talent; following this old guy will definitely help me reach new heights.

For the village of ninja to truly develop, it cannot do without the support of science and technology.

It's just that the higher-ups haven't realized this yet.

“Okay, have him report to my lab tomorrow.” Tobirama Senju nodded decisively in agreement.

He agreed to bring Orochimaru along, not only because of Renya's request, but also because Orochimaru did indeed have considerable scientific research talent.

With careful instruction.

Orochimaru will definitely be a scientific genius who will rival himself in the future.

They are the future scientific research hope of Konoha Village!

There's no way Senju Tobirama would refuse such a good opportunity.

“No problem, Uncle.” Lian Ye put on her sunglasses and lay down again.

It's nap time. I'll tell Orochimaru the good news after I wake up.

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju sighed helplessly.

He realized that this kid was truly beyond saving.

With such a lazy personality, it's no wonder he's unwilling to become Hokage.

If we had forced him to become Hokage back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Tobirama Senju could almost picture Renya sleeping in the office while Danzo and Hiruzen sat miserably at their desks dealing with documents.

This kid is a military officer; he can only be sent to the battlefield. It's better to keep him in the office to handle documents.

At that moment, he finally felt at peace.

He was even a little relieved that the kid hadn't agreed to become Hokage.

When Lianye woke up, it was already afternoon.

He checked the time and then left home.

I haven't even told Orochimaru about this good news yet.

Orochimaru's family.

"Orochimaru, please lend me another 500,000 ryo. I'll pay you back in a couple of days after I finish this mission."

When Renya arrived at the door, before she could even knock, she heard Jiraiya's pleading voice from inside.

Why is Jiraiya here?

Could this turtle man have lent all his assets to Tsunade again?

"Orochimaru, open the door," Renye called softly.

"You're here." Orochimaru shook off Jiraiya, strode forward, and opened the door. "Renya-sensei, please come in."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let Lian Ye in.

As soon as Renya entered the house, she saw Jiraiya sitting on the sofa.

"Teacher Lianye, what brings you here?"

“I was about to ask you that too.” Lianye sat on the sofa opposite him, raising an eyebrow. “You didn’t lend money to Tsunade again, did you?”

He was at a loss for words regarding Jiraiya's sycophantic behavior.

He would lend Tsunade money without hesitation whenever she asked.

In the original work, Jiraiya was the ninja who completed the most missions in Konoha.

The reward for the mission alone amounts to several hundred million taels.

In addition, he's also the author of a bestselling erotic novel, so he'll only earn more money.

As a result, this wealthy man was actually very short of money, and often borrowed money from Naruto and even stole Naruto's wallet.

Eighty percent of the money he earned went to Tsunade to pay off her gambling debts.

With Tsunade's constitution being so easily fattened, no matter how much money Jiraiya earned, it wouldn't be enough to pay off his gambling debts.

"Hehe, I've been found out." Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly.

Lian Ye: "..."

Poor Tom was once again manipulated.

"Idiot." Orochimaru said with a look of disdain.

All he could say was that Jiraiya never learns his lesson, always lending money to Tsunade.

"Your approach, like that of Boiling Sheep, will never please Pretty Sheep."

Lian Ye did not want to see her disciple reduced to this state.

"Boiling Sheep?" Jiraiya looked completely bewildered, not understanding what it meant.

Seeing Jiraiya's foolish behavior, Renya felt somewhat helpless.

With that kind of intelligence, no wonder he couldn't win Tsunade's heart.

Chapter 391 I feel like I'm doing it again

Although Lian Ye doesn't have a partner, that doesn't stop him from acting as a strategist.

"You little brat, do you have a crush on Tsunade?"

"N-nothing like that..."

Jiraiya looked flustered and quickly shook his head in refusal.

"Tsk, since you don't like it, I won't give you any more feedback," Lian Ye said, feigning disappointment.

Who would believe that Jiraiya doesn't like Tsunade?

In the original work, Jiraiya was never able to be with Tsunade.

The three met when they were young at the ninja academy and were even assigned to the same squad after graduation.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were childhood sweethearts.

Tsunade had no feelings for Jiraiya and instead found a boyfriend in Kato Dan.

After Kato Dan's death in battle, Tsunade developed hemophobia.

He left the village after the war ended.

Decades later, Jiraiya finally managed to persuade Tsunade to return and become Hokage.

Just as the two were beginning to develop feelings for each other, Jiraiya returned to the sea.

Renya thought of Jiraiya's tragic emotional experiences and wanted to help him.

While there's no guarantee it will succeed, it's at least better than Jiraiya messing around.

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately became restless.

"Teacher Lianye, could you tell me what your suggestion is?"

Orochimaru glanced at his friend with disdain, but still listened intently.

He wanted to see how Renya would guide Jiraiya in pursuing Tsunade.

You should know that even Ms. Renye herself doesn't have a boyfriend yet.

Orochimaru expressed doubts about Renya's teaching ability.

“Your unconditional devotion will only make Tsunade take it for granted.” Lian Ye chuckled. “Even if you pursue her relentlessly for a hundred years, it won’t work.”

Jiraiya was speechless, unable to refute, and after a long pause, he asked in a muffled voice.

"Teacher Lianye, what do you suggest we do?"

He felt that he had done nothing wrong...

Since Tsunade didn't have money to gamble, he lent her the money.

There's nothing wrong with doing it this way!

Tsunade always gives herself a happy smile after receiving the money.

If Renya knew Jiraiya's inner thoughts, she would definitely lose all her strength and abilities.

Tsunade is subconsciously treating Jiraiya like an ATM!

Over time, they stop considering their partner altogether.

Fortunately, he was unaware of it.

Lianye held up three fingers.

"First, become stronger so that he respects you."

"It's not just talk. It's about being able to stand by her side and even make her need your strength in some ways."

Women are naturally drawn to strength, and only truly strong individuals are more likely to be favored.

Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully. Renya-sensei was right!

However, he felt that he had met this condition.

—In some aspects, one needs to rely on their own strength…

Yes, Tsunade often borrows money from me!

It's safe to say that if Tsunade were to ask someone for money, the first person she would think of would definitely be Jiraiya.

Second, don't bother her.

Lianye paused briefly before continuing her eloquent speech.

"Your fly-like pursuit will only annoy her."

"Keep your distance and do what you're supposed to do. When she finds that you haven't been around for a long time, she'll actually feel a little uneasy."

Jiraiya nodded in sudden realization.

He recalled the mission he had recently undertaken.

When Tsunade learned of his return, she rushed over anxiously to inquire about his whereabouts.

Where has he been all this time?

Then he lent all the reward money from this mission to Tsunade.

Thinking about it now, it really does fit what Renya-sensei said.

It is indeed necessary to maintain some distance.

“I’ll show up occasionally to help him solve some practical problems,” Lianye said softly. “Doesn’t Tsunade often lose money? You’re definitely not the only creditor.”

"When her creditors come knocking on her door, you suddenly show up, pay the money for her, and then turn around and leave without saying a word."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up. This idea is brilliant!
