What are the Young Ladies of Each Family Doing

"You're back?"

"I came back as soon as I heard from the old man. Is it war again?"

"The Third Kazekage of the Sand Village has gone missing! The Sand Village was very active a while ago, and everyone was wondering what was going on. It's just been revealed... war... it's unavoidable."

"What a headache." Jiraiya saw the old man in front of him with the same helpless expression, sighed, and then asked with a grin, "By the way, where's Tsunade?"

"Worried that something might happen, I sent her to the front lines to stand guard."

"Her bloodlust..."

"Don't worry." The Third Hokage took the pipe from his mouth and looked at Jiraiya. "I've arranged for her to be in the rear, she'll be fine." He sighed again. "I hope those kids grow up quickly!"

"If that's all, I'm going to rest now." Jiraiya seemed unwilling to listen to an old man's musings. He fiddled with his ear and said, "Let me know if you need anything arranged later."

With that, without waiting for the Third Hokage to speak, he turned and left. When he reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, tossing it over. "Oh, right, and this. I found something interesting outside."

As he spoke.

A light piece of paper landed on the table, directly in front of the Third Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the paper, startled. After a moment, he frowned slightly, removed the pipe from his lips, and muttered, "Danzō Shimura?"

Why hadn't he received such an important bounty order until now?

What were the intelligence operatives outside doing?

Or was it intercepted?

The Third Hokage pondered with a troubled look, then lowered his head to glance at the amount on the paper and suddenly chuckled, muttering, "It's quite high!"

360 million Ryo.

What a shame.

As the Third Hokage of Konoha, he wouldn't stoop to exchanging his best friend for money.

Just 360 million Ryo.

As the leader of the Ninja World's strongest village, it was merely a small... gesture in his eyes!!!

"Fuyou Milk Tea." Jiraiya looked at the milk tea shop in front of him, a wave of emotion washing over him. He shook his head and muttered, "I can't believe he actually got it up and running in just a few short years." He remembered that kid back then.

Interesting, sensible, not like the usual grumpy Uchiha kids. This kid was always cheerful.

Optimistic, positive, and with a firm Will of Fire spirit.

His talent was also good, only a few points lower than his, Jiraiya's, own. He had even had a chance to become his disciple, but unexpectedly, on graduation day...

He went into business.

What a shame!

It's just that...

For some reason... every time he passed this milk tea shop, he would stop and want to go in for a cup.

At first, he thought he might have been caught in a genjutsu or something, but it wasn't... he just genuinely wanted to drink it.

With a long sigh, Jiraiya was about to go in when.

"Teacher Jiraiya."

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Jiraiya laughed twice, turned his head, and his eyes lit up when he saw Minato. "You're in the village, Minato!" He then looked at the red-haired woman beside Minato. "Yo, Kushina, you've gotten prettier too!"

"Hmph!" Kushina snorted unhappily and raised her fist. "Pervert Sage, if you dare to corrupt Minato, I'll beat you!"

"You misunderstand me, Kushina, I'm not that kind of person!"

"Sister Tsunade said that you..."

"Kushina." Minato helplessly tugged her hand, then looked at his smiling teacher, Jiraiya. "Welcome back, Teacher Jiraiya. I've already become a jonin-sensei. My subordinates are carrying out a mission here."

"Is that so? You have your own subordinates already. Time really flies." Jiraiya nodded with emotion, then glanced behind him. "Carrying out a mission here? Selling milk tea?"

"No! It's just delivery." Minato laughed twice. "Thanks to Fuyou, otherwise, the village wouldn't have so many D-rank missions."

When new shinobi first graduated, they needed to undertake these tedious missions. Not only to foster teamwork among the new shinobi but also to cultivate their attitude of seriousness, patience, and responsibility towards every mission.

During this time, Obito had gained a lot from delivering takeout. At least he could calm down and run errands, instead of being so rash.

Of course, he couldn't stay here any longer. In a few days, he planned to take on a C-rank escort mission or a bandit-killing mission, so that Obito and Rin could see another side of being a shinobi. As for Kakashi... he had already seen it.

He led Kushina and Jiraiya into the milk tea shop and ordered a cup of [QQ Milk Tea] for Kushina and himself. The name was really awkward. He had mentioned it to Fuyou more than once, and he had even told Fuyou his desired name, [Wave Pill Style Bouncing Milk Tea].

What a great name!

When a new version came out, they could just change 'Style One' to 'Style Two'.

Unfortunately.

He was rejected.

It sounds really good!

Of course, it wasn't without its rewards. From those crystal-clear pearls, he gained a spark of inspiration, leading to a research breakthrough in his ninjutsu, which had been stagnant for some time!

Why not make it into a ball just like a pearl?

Let's call it Pearl Ball... Never mind, that name sounds terrible!

Minato had a feeling that the ninjutsu he'd been researching for a long time was close to completion. Perhaps his teacher could help when he returned?

After the two had ordered, Minato patted his chest and told Jiraiya to order whatever he wanted, as he was treating today.

"Taro Ball Pudding Cheese Coconut Jelly, please." Jiraiya, also very familiar with the menu, ordered a drink and then found a seat with Minato and his wife.

Hearing Minato's concept, Jiraiya was taken aback and nodded seriously, "Perhaps it's feasible! Nenjutsu... is it finally going to be achieved?" He looked at Minato excitedly, "Minato, you truly are a genius!"

"No, it's all thanks to your teachings, teacher."

"Haha, no need to say more. I can't help you with this." He, the toad sage Jiraiya, wouldn't steal his student's achievements. He pondered for a moment, "In that case, it might require powerful chakra control. If only..." He glanced at the milk tea preparation area, "If we could see how those round pearls are made, perhaps there would be more inspiration?"

"I was thinking the same thing, but unfortunately, Fuyou hasn't returned yet." Minato sighed with emotion. "Although I could just tell Rin, I feel that such an important matter should be discussed with Fuyou personally."

"That's true~" Jiraiya nodded. "Where did Fuyou go?"

"It seems that because the atmosphere in the Ninja World has become increasingly tense, he's worried about potential accidents. So, he specifically took advantage of the current time to go down to the branch stores to arrange some affairs, but he should be back soon."

Fuyou Grill was also completed and would likely open soon, so Fuyou should be back by then.

"Such an amazing young man. When I heard he wasn't going to be a shinobi anymore, many people were mocking and laughing! I never expected him to actually succeed." Jiraiya picked up his finished milk tea and laughed heartily. Then, he winked and lowered his voice, "Tonight..."

He didn't finish his sentence. Seeing Kushina's displeased gaze, he knew he'd been found out.

He chuckled sheepishly, "Tonight, do you want to accompany me to the small forest outside the village to discuss new ninjutsu?"

"No! No!" Minato chuckled, rubbing his waist. "Jiraiya-sensei just returned, so he needs to rest well tonight."

As he spoke.

Kushina beside him seemed to recall something, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a smile, "Oh, right, pervy sage. If you're going to learn ninjutsu, don't go there. That place has become where the daughters of various clans dance, wearing tight clothes. Their figures... it's not good for others to see!"

"?!" Jiraiya's ears perked up immediately, and he looked at Kushina with a righteous expression, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

Having left Konoha for several years, what had he missed?

Seeing that look of disdain, he quickly said seriously, "Come on, Kushina, tell me where it is. I promise I won't go!"

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

"Minato, don't tell him, he'll definitely sneak there!" Kushina looked at him with disdain. "Pervy sage!"

However, she subtly pinched Minato's waist, instantly silencing him.

"I'm not that kind of person!" Jiraiya shook his head. "I just want to know where it is so I can avoid it and not be misunderstood! The toad sage never lies!"

"Really?" Kushina looked at him suspiciously.

"Really!" Jiraiya nodded earnestly.

"Alright! Then I'll tell you, but you swear you absolutely won't go!"

"This toad sage swears!"

"It's at..."

As soon as Kushina finished speaking mysteriously, Jiraiya's whole body trembled, and he stood up. Holding his milk tea, he said with a serious expression, "I just remembered I haven't reported my work to the old man yet. I need to leave for a bit."

With that said.

Under their gaze, he disappeared with a whoosh.

"..." Minato was silent for a moment, then his mouth twitched. He lowered his voice, "Kushina, isn't this bad? Tricking Jiraiya-sensei like this..."

Before he could finish.

Kushina giggled slyly, winked, and whispered, "Did I trick him?"

No, I didn't!

She was just telling the truth!

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Riding his horse at full speed and using the Body Flicker Technique to reach the place Kushina mentioned, Jiraiya heard the melodious singing and synchronized footsteps from the forest. His whole body trembled. He tidied his hair and, with the cool smile of a Konoha Sannin, slowly walked towards the direction of the singing...
