Chapter 231

"No, please, please listen to my explanation, Tsunade..."

Looking at Tsunade's appearance at this moment, Jiraiya explained with some trembling!

"Your last words are quite concise!"

After saying this, she walked toward Jiraiya with an expressionless face!

"Cough, cough, Lady Tsunade, please show mercy; now that Lady Shrine Maiden and the two Daimyo are here..."

Seeing that his teacher was in mortal danger, Minato said hurriedly!

"Actually, I don't care! For a pervert who likes to peep at people, it would be best if he were beaten to death with one punch!"

Miroku said lightly!

"Yeah, I think so too!"

Feng Hua Zao Xue echoed from the side!

"Hehe!"

Hearing the two's answers, Minato gave an awkward smile and then cast an expression of 'I can't help you' toward Jiraiya!

Although the two said that, Tsunade was also a person who knew the big picture; after releasing a 'I'll settle the score with you later' look toward Jiraiya, she returned to her seat!

Jiraiya, who had narrowly escaped a disaster, breathed a sigh of relief in secret!

【"Our Nadeshiko Village is entirely a matrilineal village, which means, there are only women!"】

【"Only women?"】

【"Therefore, the village's candidates will challenge powerful people from the outside world and bring the capable men who defeat them back to the village as sons-in-law! This is our village's rule!"】

"Cough, cough, does anyone know where this Nadeshiko Village is? I don't mean anything else; it's just that my friend wants to go and see!"

"What a coincidence, my friend also wants to know; if anyone can tell me, I will reward them heavily!"

"You two big perverts, what kind of 'friend' are you talking about! It's clearly you who want to know! I hate people like you perverts the most!

In order to put an end to your evil intentions, I have decided to personally go to this village to guard it!

If anyone knows the address of the village, please be sure to tell me secretly; not for anything else, just for fear that these girls will fall into the hands of people with evil intentions!"

The people in the viewing area racked their brains, wanting to get the location of Nadeshiko Village from the mouths of others, but unfortunately, they were all destined to be disappointed!

【"So, that means..."】

【"I hope you can have a serious duel with Miss Shizuka at the cost of marriage!"】

【"Mar... Marriage?"】

In the video, Uzumaki Naruto was so frightened that he retreated several steps!

"Lord Jiraiya, may I ask if you are still taking disciples? If possible, I would very much like to study under you; you might not know, but I have actually admired you for a long time!"

In the Hokage Building, Bee looked at Jiraiya with extreme seriousness and said!

"......"

"Lord Jiraiya, just now Obito secretly told me that he also very much wants to study under you! To kick you to participate in this duel!"

Kakashi, who was on the side, said with a straight face!

"??"

"I didn't, I'm not, you're talking nonsense!"

Obito, who hadn't been able to react, immediately refuted after seeing Rin's suspicious look!

"......"

Facing these people who were stirring up trouble, Jiraiya looked at them, speechless!

"It looks like Naruto is quite unwilling! Speaking of which, we are also Teacher Jiraiya's disciples! Should we find an opportunity to go and have a contest with this Ms. Shizuka?"

In Amegakure, Yahiko said with some excitement!

Hearing Yahiko's words, Nagato very consciously took a few steps back and then looked at him with an expression of 'wish you luck'!

"Yahiko, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly; can you say it again?"

Konan walked to Yahiko's side with a smile and asked!

"Yi!?"

Yahiko looked at Konan with a puzzled expression, and before he could react, Konan punched him and sent him flying!

"Nagato, do you also want to go?"

After sending Yahiko flying, Konan turned her head back with a smile and said, looking at Nagato!

"Ho, how could that be! This is Teacher Jiraiya's test for Naruto; how could I take his place without permission!"

Nagato swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty!

"Is that so!"

"Really, I swear on Teacher Jiraiya's reputation; if I'm lying, Teacher Jiraiya will be a bachelor for the rest of his life!

You know how much I admire Teacher Jiraiya; I would absolutely never use him to swear casually!"

Nagato said with a solemn expression!

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Nagato had sworn, Konan let him off!

Nagato, who had escaped with his life, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with difficulty!

【"Then, I'll take this woman!"】

In the video, Naruto and Nadeshiko Shizuka had a decisive battle, and Naruto was slightly better; just at this moment, the person who had been sent flying by Shizuka appeared again!

【"Let her go! I was talking to her! Let her go!"】

In the video, that person used despicable means to grab Shizuka, but fortunately, Naruto made a move, and a Rasengan sent the enemy flying!

【"For the sake of some so-called fate, you close the door to your own heart and say you must find someone to marry—that's too twisted! Although I don't know much about things like marriage, but this... isn't this something you do with someone you like and are attracted to?"】

【"This..."】

【"I also have a girl I like, named Sakura, but that's just my unrequited love!"】

After saving Shizuka, she was still in a state of self-abandonment, so Naruto talked to her about his own affairs!

"That kid Naruto is basically a love idiot; he actually dares to teach others about love?"

In the Hokage Building, Miroku looked at Naruto in the video, speechless!

Just think about it: her own daughter and that girl named Hyuga Hinata had already made it so clear to him, yet he still had a blank look on his face!

And now he dares to come and counsel others about marriage?

"Hehe..."

Listening to Miroku's words full of resentment, Minato could only give an awkward smile!

【"But, I have my fate..."】

【"This is not fate at all; it's just a rule arbitrarily set by the village."】

【"But..."】

【"You should just use your own strength to correct it!"】

Naruto's words had already made Shizuka begin to waver, but she was still a bit hesitant, so Naruto gave her the final guidance!

"Lord Fourth Hokage, may I ask if there are any houses left near your place?"

In the Hokage Building, Nara Shikaku looked at Minato and asked!

"......"

Minato sighed slightly, not knowing how to answer!

【In the video, after Naruto untied the knot in Shizuka's heart, he was brought back to the ship by Yamato, and Shizuka also came to see him off!

Watching the ship sail further and further away, at this moment, in Shizuka's mind, the scene of her mother fighting Jiraiya emerged!

And the video began to change along with her memories!】

【At that time, Jiraiya and Shizuka's mother used all their ninjutsu and unfolded a fierce duel. However, they were unable to determine a winner.

"Sorry, let's end the battle here!"】

Seeing that the two could not determine a winner, Jiraiya spoke up!

【"Unfortunately, I, Jiraiya, already have a woman I like in my heart!

However, this is just my unrequited love..."】

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Shizuka's mother looked at him, puzzled!

【"Unrequited love? Even someone as powerful as you has that?"】

【"That person has lost the people she loved deeply one after another; now, she resists liking others, so I must protect her until the end."】

【"Even though it might not be reciprocated."】 ===== CHAPTER 233 =====
