"Of course!" Jiraiya answered without hesitation. He looked at Minato, who appeared a little uncomfortable, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Is my new book exciting?"
Seeing this, Minato was completely speechless. He twitched his lips and quickly stuffed "Intimate Paradise" back into Jiraiya's hands.
"What? You don't want to read any more?"
Jiraiya was stunned. He really couldn't imagine any man who could resist the contents of his new book.
However, at this moment Minato was already feeling a little anxious.
"I must not let Teacher mention this book to Kushina, let alone let her know that I've read it. Otherwise, once she finds out, I'll be dead!"
As he was thinking about this, a thin layer of sweat began to seep out of the forehead of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, who was now famous throughout the ninja world.
He hadn't forgotten the punishment Tsunade and Kushina had given to Teacher Jiraiya after they caught him peeping into the women's bath.
Minato didn't want to witness that a second time.
"Minato, are you hot?" Jiraiya, of course, noticed the sweat on Minato's forehead and asked immediately.
"I'm fine," Minato responded and asked Jiraiya, "Teacher, you will definitely go meet the Third Hokage and Tsunade-senpai in a while, right?"
"Hmm?" Jiraiya nodded. Apart from Minato's family, his mentor, the Third Hokage, and Tsunade, who grew up with him, were all like his family.
"Teacher, I advise you not to show this new book to Lady Tsunade no matter what. I think you should know the consequences."
After Minato finished speaking, Jiraiya's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he couldn't help but shiver.
"Also, I would like to invite you to my house tonight, but please do not mention anything about the book or what happened just now to Kushina, please!"
Minato clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"I see." Jiraiya responded. He also knew very well that although Kushina seemed gentle most of the time, once she got angry, the "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero" was not named for nothing.
"Then I'll go ahead and see you this evening!"
After the two chatted for a while longer, they returned to their serious expressions and Jiraiya left the Hokage's office.
At the ninja academy, what Naruto and the others learned today was still some basic knowledge about ninjas.
After class, there were still many people surrounding Naruto. It was obvious that everyone's curiosity about this "special classmate" had not yet worn off.
Today, Naruto no longer avoided the questions. He began to answer some students' inquiries.
Of course, this was only within the scope of his knowledge, because when it came to his own father, Naruto realized that his understanding was far from enough.
After answering for a long time, a considerable number of students finally dispersed.
However, there were still many students from other grades pestering him, but the lunch break was only so long and he couldn't use it all to answer these people's questions.
So Naruto escaped again and came to the rooftop just like yesterday.
"This is so troublesome," Naruto muttered softly, holding his lunch box in his hand.
Sasuke was there too, still staying in the same spot as before.
The two of them looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.
Neither of them wanted to stay here voluntarily. If not for the crowds, they would probably not have any reason to spend free time together.
"My lunch has gotten cold," Naruto opened his bento and started eating.
Sasuke was standing aside, glancing at Naruto thoughtfully.
Naruto had only known how to avoid these people yesterday, but his attitude had changed drastically today. Because only by engaging with the attention could he get out of this situation as soon as possible.
It seemed that his and his mother's worries were a little unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Sasuke's brows relaxed slightly and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"What are you grinning at?" At this time, Naruto's voice came over, and he looked at Sasuke suspiciously.
Because in his opinion, this guy was acting a little too strange today.
"What's it to you?" Sasuke's expression suddenly turned cold and his eyes swept towards Naruto.
After saying that, he stood up and jumped down from the roof. After a few leaps, he disappeared.
Naruto rolled his eyes, then realized that there was no one around the training grounds and teaching building.
"Oh no, I'm going to be late!" His face changed immediately and he rushed towards the classroom.
The sun was half set, the soft red light spread all over the earth, and the gentle breeze was blowing, making people feel particularly cozy and comfortable, as if able to relieve the fatigue of the day.
Kushina took Chiharu to the ninja academy to pick up Naruto after school.
When the mother and her two children walked around the last street on their way home and arrived in front of their gate, they suddenly saw two figures.
When she saw the people coming, Kushina's expression changed slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She asked, "Why are you here?"
"Hey, Kushina, long time no see." Jiraiya waved at Kushina, and the Third Hokage beside him also smiled.
Kushina was about to say something, but before she could finish, Jiraiya waved his hand to stop her.
Jiraiya's eyes fell on Naruto and his sister beside Kushina, especially when he saw Chiharu, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He took two or three steps toward the children, then squatted down, showing what he thought was a very kind smile, and said: "You are Naruto and Chiharu, right?"
Naruto was slightly stunned. At this time, Chiharu's bright eyes studied the visitor, and then she smiled and said, "Yes, hello, Master Jiraiya."
After she finished speaking, Naruto's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with great curiosity.
Of course, Minato had mentioned Teacher Jiraiya in front of them more than once. Especially to Naruto, whose name was actually chosen by his father's teacher.
"How do you know who I am?" Jiraiya was surprised. The reason why he had stopped Kushina from speaking was because he had heard from Minato that Chiharu had been very clever since childhood, and he wanted to test her.
Chiharu smiled and replied, "Because your clothes are rarely seen in the village, you must have just returned from outside. And you came here with Third Hokage-sama, plus mom's reaction when she saw you just now, as well as the fact that dad often mentioned you to us. So it's not difficult to guess your identity."
After listening to this, Jiraiya looked down at his clothes. Indeed, he had just returned from another country, so the clothes he was wearing were also from there.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the courtyard in front of everyone.
It was Minato.
Minato's eyes scanned the group, and when he saw the Third Hokage had also arrived, his eyes widened slightly.
"Lord Third, why are you here too?" Minato walked closer and asked.
"I haven't seen Naruto and Chiharu for a long time, and I miss them very much." The Third Hokage smiled, and his eyes when he looked at Naruto and Chiharu were full of the love of an elder for the younger generation.
"Honey, you're home," Kushina also came to Minato's side.
Minato nodded, and at this moment Jiraiya turned his eyes and smiled with relief.
"Minato, your daughter is not only beautiful, but also very smart."
