In the end, it was Naruto who went to retrieve Jiraiya, who had been sent flying far away.
Jiraiya was found on a small mountain quite a distance from Yanbo Town.
At this moment, Jiraiya was in a terrible state, his entire body embedded in the earth in a large "person" shape, already unconscious.
Just as Naruto had seen with his Kagura Mind's Eye, seven ribs were broken, his internal organs were shaken, and he had multiple lacerations all over his body.
If Jiraiya hadn't been beaten by Tsunade so often, making him thick-skinned, and hadn't learned Sage Techniques himself, greatly improving his physique,
and if Tsunade hadn't subconsciously held back at that time, he probably would have gone to see the Sage of Six Paths by now.
With Tsunade's medical Ninjutsu, such injuries would take at least a month of continuous treatment to heal.
Even if Naruto used Yin Release, it would take several hours to heal him.
However, Naruto didn't heal him. He slightly transferred some Yin Release Chakra to wake Jiraiya up, then manipulated the air to grab Jiraiya, who couldn't move, and took him back towards Yanbo Town.
As soon as he woke up, Jiraiya, floating in mid-air, saw Naruto flying slowly beside him and immediately became angry, "Naruto, you brat, you tricked me!"
After being beaten by Tsunade and calming down, Jiraiya realized that he had been set up by Naruto.
It was a good thing he didn't listen to Naruto and go for the Wall Slam directly. He was already beaten so badly for a normal confession. If he had gone for the Wall Slam, wouldn't he have died on the spot?
"You have the scent of her Poisonous Perfume on you, it's my nose's sin, I shouldn't have smelled her scent..."
Naruto ignored Jiraiya and even started singing happily.
A sad song like "Poisonous Perfume" was sung by Naruto with the festive flavor of "Congratulations and Get Rich."
This shows Naruto's mood at the moment.
Seeing that Naruto not only showed no sign of remorse but even sang happily, Jiraiya immediately felt the urge to discipline his student.
Unfortunately, his physical condition and strength didn't allow it at the moment.
And after understanding the meaning of the lyrics, and recalling the roar from Tsunade he had heard before he was sent flying, Jiraiya suddenly felt guilty and realized where he had failed.
"If I had taken a good bath last night, would Tsunade and I be discussing our wedding date right now?" Jiraiya asked Naruto with a look of frustration.
Although Naruto had tricked him, the behavior of that big shot who had managed to flirt with a girl with a Wall Slam had left a deep impression on him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but consult Naruto about emotional issues.
"Theoretically, that's how it is." Naruto finally managed to hold back his laughter and answered Jiraiya's question seriously.
Not long ago, Jiraiya's performance was excellent. He opened Tsunade's heart with his sincerity. If Jiraiya hadn't drunk flower wine last night and not taken a bath, he might really be discussing the wedding date with Tsunade right now.
At the very least, they could have completely established a romantic relationship and then moved towards marriage after a period of getting to know each other.
Unlike now, he was beaten and injured all over, almost dying on the spot.
Seeing Jiraiya's expression becoming more and more depressed, Naruto couldn't help but comfort him, "Actually, it's not like there's no room for recovery now. Tsunade doesn't know that I have Yin Release Chakra that can quickly restore injuries. When we get back, she will definitely be the one to treat your injuries."
"Your injuries will take a long time to heal. With so much time spent together day and night, and with the previous groundwork, if you take the initiative and promise not to mess around in the future, maybe Tsunade will agree."
Jiraiya thought about it and realized that it made sense, and his expression immediately brightened.
But in an instant, a hint of suspicion appeared on Jiraiya's face, "You don't have another trick waiting for me to jump into, do you? And Tsunade has hemophobia, maybe Shizune will treat me?"
Naruto waved his hand and said seriously, "This time I'm really not tricking you. Look, if it wasn't for your own problem before, wouldn't it have been a success? You still have the nerve to blame me?"
After a pause, Naruto scoffed, "Besides, hemophobia, do you really believe it?"
In the manga, Tsunade overcame her years of hemophobia because Naruto, who was like a younger brother to her, was on the verge of death when they first met.
This reason seems very passionate and convincing, but it is undoubtedly full of loopholes in front of Naruto at this moment.
As soon as the Third Hokage died, Tsunade's hemophobia was cured, and she no longer gambled and drank all day to numb herself. She didn't even hate Orochimaru, who killed the Third Hokage, and was willing to heal his hands. If it weren't for worrying that he would attack the village again, she wouldn't have hesitated at all.
In the end, even Orochimaru, the person who killed the Third Hokage, returned to Konoha openly.
Tsunade may really have hemophobia, but it doesn't seem like she couldn't overcome it for decades as she showed. It just depends on whether she is willing to face it herself.
Perhaps, what she fears is never blood, but her teacher.
Hearing this, Jiraiya was silent.
Sometimes, if you pretend to be a pig for too long, you really become a pig.
Is Tsunade really as decadent and weak as she looks? Jiraiya didn't know.
While chatting, they flew back to Yanbo Town slowly.
When they finished talking, they had already returned to Yanbo Town.
At this moment, Tsunade stood there with her arms crossed and a displeased expression, obviously still angry.
Beside her, Shizune was apologizing to the casino staff with an embarrassed face, discussing compensation matters.
Sakura was also standing awkwardly to the side. Not only was she unfamiliar with Tsunade and Shizune, but she was also pestered by the girl who had just been Wall Slamed by Naruto, who kept asking her about Naruto.
Seeing Naruto returning with Jiraiya, Sakura felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She quickly pointed at Naruto and kept silent.
The girl with sunglasses was about to come over and talk to Naruto when she saw him smiling and putting his index finger on his lips, making a gesture to talk later.
"I'll talk to you later." A voice as thin as a mosquito sounded in her ear.
Hearing this, the girl stood aside obediently.
At this time, Naruto brought Jiraiya to Tsunade and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Tsunade-neechan. I am Jiraiya-sensei's disciple, Naruto Uzumaki. Minato Namikaze is my father."
The word 'neechan' made Tsunade's heart blossom.
After talking about their relationship, Tsunade's gaze towards Naruto immediately became kind.
Reaching out and patting Naruto's shoulder, Tsunade said heroically, "Naruto, you're a good kid."
Naruto's expression remained unchanged as he pushed Jiraiya to Tsunade, "Tsunade-neechan, Jiraiya-sensei is seriously injured now. Please heal him quickly, lest it become even more serious later."
