Konoha.
Konoha Bathhouse
An increase in customers was one of the many perks of chunin exam taking place in konoha, the queue outside the onsen stretching long while waiting to enter.
There were two separate queues' for both genders and the female queue much longer than the men, most women in the queue were tourists, here to try the famous hot springs of konoha.
"What a pity…to destroy such a good place." Sighed Temari as she waited in the queue for her turn to enter, her teal eyes darting around to gaze at the big bathhouse, pity overflowing as knowing in almost month this place would be destroyed.
There was a gap of one month between the second and third exam and temari feeling really bored from the wait, finally coming out tonight to soak and let out all the fatigue.
"Hmmm?" Suddenly Temari's eyes narrowed as noticing a familiar hateful figure in the male queue parallel to them, focusing to make sure was it really him.
In the male queue a somewhat tall but attractive curly haired boy really drew glances from the opposite queue, donning a charcoal yukata with his chest muscles open to view, on that attractive face an anticipating look.
"I hope it's not a wasted trip again today." Thought Isagi as after a long thought he had decided who to replicate next, and if successful his strength surely going through another big change.
Unlike others that person was also ripe for picking, and knowing his habits and that he would be coming to the village soon, Isagi recently coming to the bathhouse regularly.
Last two visits have been in vain but he knew eventually he'll succeed, as unlike him; that person's patience to visit the bathhouse would soon run out.
"Huh?"Isagi, who had his perception abilities enhanced many folds due to the mind eye of kagura, felt an intense gaze on him and immediately look over.
A blonde girl around his age was looking at him intensely, with fire almost spitting out of her eyes, Isagi's lips curving into a wide smile immediately.
Looking directly into her raging eyes, Isagi opened his mouth and then bit his lips lightly and gave her a knowing a smile.
"You!!" Temari witnessing this was immediately reminded of what happened in the death forest tower, when he had bit her ears, almost pulling out the fan fixed at her back on the spot and launching an attack.
Seeing her like this, Isagi smiled brighter and waving goodbye entered the bathhouse as his turn finally came.
"Hmph! Be happy for now, I'll teach you a lesson a month later." Vowed Temari as suppressing her hate, striding into the bathhouse.
--------------------------
"Ha…so good…" Said Isagi in a relaxed tone as he sat half submerged in the steamy water, feeling his stiff muscles from the training relaxing slowly.
But while he was enjoying, his eyes were closed, as an area of around 3 kilometers from his position was completely under his perception, no charka signature escaping his senses.
Suddenly a chakra signature surpassing countless others by far entered his range, Isagi opening his eyes immediately as a smile appeared.
"Finally."
-----------------------
The sun was right above the head, but in this broad daylight a figure with long white hair and dressed in red and carrying a scroll on his back flashed from roof to roof, approaching the bathhouse at rapid pace.
In a matter of seconds, he appeared on the roof of the bathhouse and moved closer to the ventilation window which provided a clear view of what was happening inside.
"Hehehe~ as expected…. nothing beats the quality at home." Said the white-haired man with a lewd smile on his face, blood tracing down his nose as his glued to the explosive scenes below.
"Hey Pervy Sage!
Teach me a Jutsu already!!"
Jiraiya who was having the time of his life suddenly showed an annoyed look as a very repulsive voice fell into his ears, others passing by also noticing the man on the rooftop and suspiciously close to the ventilation window.
"Sigh…. what sin I have committed to encounter this pesky brat."
Jiraiya cursed his fate inwardly as this kid was really getting in the way of his research, bothering him again and again.
"Hey old man! What are you doing there?"
"Are you peeping?"
While Jiraiya was lamenting on his fate, more and more people gathered as their suspicion on this man being a perv grew, finally a few asking out loud.
"Oops!"
Seeing this Jiraiya knew he was caught and immediately stood up and gathered chakra into his soles, ready to flash away, as staying would only expose him to the public's wrath.
SWISH! SWISH!
BOOM!!
But at this moment tearing through air, gusts of wind approached Jiraiya from out of nowhere, as his panicked face turned into slightly serious one, the tiles under him breaking as him jumping straight up high into the air.
The wind gusts missed their target but didn't miss the glass window, as it shattered and the woman below were all startled, looking up.
KYAAA!!!!
Screams rang in the bathhouse as woman covered themselves with their hands and some dove deep into the water to hide, Temari who was soaking alerted by this also, her eyes immediately noticing a white-haired man right above her and in midair.
Her face immediately showed anger as gnashing her teeth and immediately jumping out and rushing towards the changing area, rage in her eyes.
