Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Chapter 92 Hatake Sakumo's request.

The next morning, Jiraiya, who had been chatting with Tsunade all night, showed no signs of sluggishness.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Jiraiya immediately came to the Hokage's office.

"Old man, I'm back!"

With the same flying kick, Jiraiya was completely unaffected by Sarutobi Hiruzen's majesty. He kicked the door of the Hokage's office and walked in swaggeringly.

"You all go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was holding a meeting for some ninjas, looked like he had a headache. He waved everyone away before looking up at Jiraiya.

"How many years have passed and you are still the same. When will your temper become more stable?" Sarutobi Hiruzen loved and hated Jiraiya.

What I like is Jiraiya's character, and what I dislike is also Jiraiya's character.

Although it is contradictory to say this, this is the character that Jiraiya displays when he is not doing business. He can be said to be an all-round enhanced version of the future Uzumaki Naruto.

Out of touch, but with brains.

Careless, but more delicate.

He may seem confused, but he knows better than anyone else.

"Old man, we haven't seen each other for several years. Don't act like you're preaching when we first meet." Jiraiya didn't take it seriously at all. He pulled up a chair and sat across from Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Old man, how are you doing lately? "

"Oh, you've been away from the village for so long, and you really bothered to miss me. I thought you had forgotten that Konoha still has me as a teacher!"

After one or two sentences of "mutual fighting" between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya, the previous harmonious master-disciple state gradually returned, and the topics gradually became richer.

First, he also talked about what he had seen and heard during his travels in the past few years. The content was similar to what he talked to Tsunade last night.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't just act as an audience. When Jiraiya had finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi also talked to Jiraiya about some big and small things that happened in the village.

"Old man...Sakumo...really has no chance?"

"Alas! Even if Sakumo can survive, it will be impossible for him to become a ninja..." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "Tsunade made it very clear in the medical report that Sakumo has only 1 chance of recovery. %."

Jiraiya was silent. He could not trust anyone, but it was impossible not to trust Tsunade.

"Old man, I'm going to see Sakumo."

Jiraiya stood up, his voice was low, his brows were completely gone, and the sadness between his brows and eyes was not concealed at all.

He has a very good relationship with Hatake Sakumo, but what happened to his old friend is still a bit difficult for him to accept.

"Go ahead, come to my house in the evening and let's have a few drinks."

"Um."

Jiraiya nodded slightly, and then walked out of the Hokage's office without looking back. After leaving the Hokage building, he went straight to Konoha Hospital.

I have to say that this world has the extraordinary power of ninjutsu, and no matter what you do, it is quite efficient.

In just one night, the place destroyed by Tsunade and Jiraiya had been repaired as before. If the materials used to repair the walls and corridors were still fresh, no one would know that this place had been damaged.

Holding a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket in his hand, Jiraiya opened the door of Hatake Sakumo's room.

Just when he walked in and took a first look, Jiraiya was stunned.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo had a gentle smile on his face, while Ena Chunin, who was sitting next to him, looked at him lovingly.

Critical hit!

"Sakumo...I thought you would be disheartened, but I didn't expect...you have a second life?"

But soon, Jiraiya adjusted himself, and his words were somewhat off-kilter.

Hatake Sakumo, who was familiar with Jiraiya, didn't feel anything. On the contrary, Ena Chuunin blushed and stood up hurriedly to salute and say hello.

"Jiraiya-sama..."

But before he finished speaking, Hatake Sakumo stretched out his hand to hold Ena Chuunin, patted the back of her hand and signaled her to go out.

Jiraiya didn't care. After Eina Chuunin left in a panic, he placed the bouquet and fruit basket in his hand on the bedside table in front of the hospital bed.

"When will you two get married?"

"When I recover."

"Aren't you delaying me?" Jiraiya glared at Hatake Sakumo, "I haven't asked her what to call her yet."

"Ena, Hanai Ena." Hatake Sakumo rolled his eyes, "You don't have to worry about me, but you...if you don't change your behavior, you will have no hope for the rest of your life."

"Hey, are you the patient or am I the patient?" Jiraiya was a little angry, but his heavy mood just now was obviously much better.

The fact that Hatake Sakumo can quarrel with him shows that there is nothing wrong with his mentality, which is a great blessing among misfortunes.

As long as there is no problem with your mentality, even if you can't become a ninja again, it's not bad to live an ordinary life.

But Jiraiya didn't know that Hatake Sakumo's physical condition was getting better day by day, and the authenticity of some of the physical examination reports submitted by Tsunade could be ignored.

"Haha, I just can't lift the knife, otherwise I would have to have a serious discussion with you."

"It seems that your mentality is really good, I'm relieved now..." Jiraiya quickly returned to the topic, "You know some of the old guys from back then, we are the only ones left."

Hearing what Jiraiya said, Hatake Sakumo also fell into silence, nodded and said no more.

"Oh, I won't ask you why. You have your reasons for doing this. After all, you are Sakumo!" Jiraiya took out an orange from the fruit basket, "Would you like to eat it? I'll peel one for you."

"Eat, why don't you eat!" Hatake Sakumo said politely, "I still remember that you owed me a few drinks, and this will be regarded as the interest on your debt."

"Hey, you're a lot more cheerful. You weren't so direct before."

Jiraiya lowered his head and concentrated on peeling oranges, and mentioned some changes in Hatake Sakumo, but then the conversation changed.

"Sakumo, if there is any need for me, just tell me. I will do my best within my capabilities."

"I really need your help with something."

"...Don't you think I'm joking to make you happy?"

"You are Jiraiya, the Jiraiya who has never changed." Hatake Sakumo smiled, "And if you agree, I can give up asking for the several drinks you owe me."

"This deal you made is really a good deal..." Jiraiya handed over the peeled orange, "Go ahead and treat it as something I owe you."

"Help me take care of Ming and Kakashi, especially Kakashi. It would be better if you could make him contract with the Toad Clan of Mt. Myoboku as a psychic beast."

Hatake Sakumo said it very directly, without any intention of beating around the bush. He knew that Jiraiya would definitely agree.

From the time he made his name, Hatake Sakumo's network of connections has been very strong. Even though he is now a "waste" on the surface, as long as he survives, he can still use some of the connections he has accumulated over the years.

This is the only thing Hatake Sakumo can do for Hatake Akira and Kakashi now.

Hatake Sakumo believed that Jiraiya would give him face.

What's more, Jiraiya himself was feeling a little guilty, so after this back and forth, Jiraiya had no reason to refuse.

"You're so rude." Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and did not directly agree, but the subtext in his words was very clear, "Since Kakashi is your child, there is absolutely no problem with his quality, but I still need to check him out."

"You just have to figure it out." Hatake Sakumo nodded, knowing that this matter was already certain, so he didn't talk about it anymore, and instead began to ask Jiraiya about his situation and experiences in the past few years.

Jiraiya was a little helpless. When he returned to the village after being out for too long, he would inevitably have to retell some of his experiences in recent years when he met acquaintances.

Although saying it three times in a short period of time made Jiraiya a little bored, Jiraiya would not refuse and immediately began to describe what he had seen and heard.

One person talks, another listens, and the audience occasionally asks a few questions. The atmosphere in the ward is quite harmonious.

However, as time got later, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, who had finished their genin tasks and training, still came to visit Sakumo Hatake.

As for Jiraiya in the ward, the moment he saw Hatake Akira, his eyes immediately changed.

Oops!

Hatake Akira wailed in his heart.

It feels like being watched!
