As soon as Naruto stepped out, only Jiraiya and Tsunade remained in the room.
Tsunade wore a complicated expression, seemingly still upset over Jiraiya going to a brothel. After several twists and turns, she walked up to him and held out her hand.
Jiraiya thought Tsunade was about to hit him again. He instinctively recoiled and hurriedly apologized loudly, "Tsunade, don't... I was wrong!"

Sakura shot Naruto a resentful look. "At first, I thought you brought me along on this journey to find Lady Tsunade
