Chapter 83 Tsunade-sama's Simultaneous Translation
In the distance, Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had covered their faces with books, were squinting as they observed their conversation.
Jiraiya scratched his head, but he still couldn't hear what they were saying. "What are they whispering about?"
Tsunade gave her a knowing look and said, "You're really stupid. Can't you read lips?"
"If I don't believe you, do you think you would?" Jiraiya looked at her with suspicion.
"Hmph! I am the incredibly intelligent Lady Tsunade, there's nothing I can't do, let me translate!"
Tsunade stared intently at the mouths of the two people opposite her, translating in unison—
(Haruko walks up to Orochimaru with a "bright" smile)
"Hahaha, Orochimaru, you are truly learned and talented."
(Orochimaru curls the corners of his mouth)
"I admire you very much."
(Haruko Hayama continues to laugh)
"Really? When does Orochimaru hope we'll get married?"
(Orochimaru's smile is "bright")
"Any day you like is fine."
Tsunade became more and more excited as she translated, and eventually she excitedly slapped her hand on Jiraiya's body.
At this moment, Jiraiya was completely oblivious to the pain he was in from being hit by her.
"Tsunade, are you sure you didn't mistranslate? Is that really what they said?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock.
Tsunade, her face flushed, replied, "How could Lady Tsunade be wrong? Orochimaru and Haruko are getting married soon!"
"I don't believe it—!"
Jiraiya covered his face and ran out crying.
Tsunade watched his disappearing figure speechlessly, "What a man who can't take a beating."
Meanwhile, Haruko Hayama and Orochimaru, who were walking down the street pondering where to go next, were suddenly separated by Jiraiya, who rushed up from behind.
"Jiraiya?" Haruko Hayama asked uncertainly, watching his departing figure. "Was he crying?"
Orochimaru, who always knew that two stinky bugs were following behind him, thought: "They probably peed their pants."
"Huh?!" Haruko looked at him incredulously, then couldn't help but glance in the direction Jiraiya had left.
Okay...I really want to go and see...
In the following days, Haruko noticed that Jiraiya was avoiding her, and even when she went to find him, he would make an excuse to leave.
That's really strange...
"Haruko, what are you doing?" Tsunade leaned closer to her. "Shall we sneak off to play in the forest?"
Haruko was distracted. "Tsunade, Jiraiya has been acting strange lately. He's been ignoring me."
"Jiraiya?" Tsunade recalled what happened at the bookstore earlier and couldn't help but chuckle. "Never mind him! If you ask me, Haruko should never consider a useless man as a marriage partner!"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Haruko Hayama asked, puzzled.
Tsunade patted her shoulder with a maternal smile, "Don't hide it anymore, I know everything. Are you about to marry Orochimaru?"
"ah???"
Haruko was speechless. She raised her hands and roughly pinched Tsunade's chubby cheeks. "Tsunade, what strange things do you think about all day long?!"
"Eh... isn't it a scratching knife?"
Haruko Hayama mercifully let her off the hook, explaining helplessly, "Of course not! I'm still a child, and Orochimaru and I are just friends!"
Tsunade rubbed her face, her brows furrowed.
Could I have translated it wrong? Impossible! How could the great Lady Tsunade be wrong!
It must be that idiot Jiraiya's own wild imagination!
Jiraiya: ?
Jiraiya has been training incredibly hard lately, not only because of the summoning jutsu his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned, but also...
Why do I have to cultivate so diligently...?
Jiraiya lay on the cliff, his clothes soaked with sweat, panting and staring blankly at the sky.
Suddenly, Haruko's smile appeared in my jumbled thoughts.
"..."
Jiraiya's arrogant face suddenly turned red.
He then remembered what Tsunade had told him before—
"Jiraiya, you don't actually like Haruko, do you?" Tsunade poked him mischievously.
Jiraiya jumped up abruptly, stammering, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Isn't that right? You could tell Jiraiya liked him right away."
Tsunade shrugged and shook her head, looking every bit the expert on relationships.
Jiraiya paused for a moment. Had he really made it too obvious? But Haruko hadn't noticed either.
Tsunade was surprised that he didn't retort. "Seriously? You really like Haruko?!"
Jiraiya's face turned bright red. "Were you trying to trick me all along, you flat-chested girl?!"
"Who are you calling a flat-chested girl!" Tsunade's words, when she got angry, went straight to his heart. "Hmph, if Haruko were to choose a partner, Orochimaru would be much better than a pervert like you!"
Watching Tsunade storm off, Jiraiya felt a rare sense of loss.
...
"Yoshi!"
Thinking of this, Jiraiya suddenly stood up and cheered himself on with great enthusiasm.
"The answer is simple: I will become the strongest ninja and win Haruko back!"
Haruko Hayama: Hmm? What do you mean by changing your mind?
Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly came to the forest to visit Jiraiya. Seeing his high-spirited demeanor, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Jiraiya, that kid, has finally figured out the goal of being a ninja."
“But that’s no excuse for Hiruzen to spy on you.” Haruko Hayama appeared softly behind him, startling Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Haruko? What are you doing here?!"
Haruko Hayama explained earnestly, "I'm here to unravel the mystery."
"A mystery?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was used to her saying strange things. "Could it be related to Jiraiya?"
Haruko nodded. "The protagonist of the mystery is Jiraiya. Hiruzen is so clever."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, praised for his intelligence: We should have chosen all girls when we were scheduling the shifts!!!
"I'll head over there first, Hiruzen. Also, pedophilia is a bad thing."
"Okay, you go first... wait, what do you mean, pedophilia?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was saying goodbye to her, suddenly realized what was happening and quickly made a silly gesture towards Haruko Hayama, who had misunderstood him.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was still training ahead. He stood up with a determined look on his face, concentrated, closed his eyes, and began to form hand seals.
Seeing his actions, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately realized something was wrong. "Wait! You're using space-time ninjutsu before even forming a contract. The consequences are unpredictable!"
"Go!"
Jiraiya pressed down on the ground, and Haruko Hayama, who had just approached him, vanished on the spot.
suddenly.
They appeared in the air and then fell directly to the ground.
"Ouch..." Jiraiya rubbed his bottom, but suddenly noticed Haruko Hayama next to him. "Haruko! What are you doing here?"
Haruko stood up, dusted herself off, and replied, "I've come to see Jiraiya."
"Looking for me!" Jiraiya's face turned red again.
Haruko didn't notice anything amiss and looked around at the scenery.
Strange buildings, a blue-green sky, toad-like stone statues, and...
A giant toad, wearing an outer garment and with a scar on its right eye, stood facing a large blue snake with yellow spots, sweating profusely.
"Wow, what huge frogs and earthworms!" Haruko Hayama exclaimed in surprise.
Jiraiya added from the side, "And it's so ugly!"
Toad & Snake: ? ? ?
