Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking: Chapter 897

Orochimaru clenched his teeth, his entire body trembling as sharp killing intent surged toward Jiraiya.

"Ah—ah!!!"

Under that terrifying killing intent, Naruto and Sasuke opened their mouths wide and wailed.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Sasuke's crying abruptly changed Jiraiya and Orochimaru's expressions, and they instinctively began soothing Naruto and Sasuke.

"!!!"

Suddenly, Orochimaru, who was comforting Sasuke, froze. His face turned green.

Damn it! He, Orochimaru, was not a stay-at-home dad!!!

Looking at Sasuke in his arms, Orochimaru had the urge to smash himself to death.

Over these past days, comforting Sasuke had become an instinctive action for him.

Because if Sasuke's crying disturbed Yuu, Sasuke would at most be forced to drink by Yuu, but he would be the one in trouble.

A savage beating was the lightest punishment.

If he happened to catch Yuu while he was drinking to his heart's content, then that outcome...

Orochimaru suddenly shuddered. Just thinking about that outcome made him tremble uncontrollably.

As a result, whenever he heard Sasuke crying now, he instinctively comforted him.

"Whew—this little Naruto sure can cry, huh? Orochimaru, what's wrong with your face?"

After soothing Naruto until he stopped crying, Jiraiya wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Orochimaru in confusion.

Jiraiya was different from Orochimaru. Naruto was the child of his disciple, Minato Namikaze.

Naturally, Jiraiya felt an innate closeness to Naruto.

Moreover, with that generational affection at play, Jiraiya cared deeply for Naruto.

So he had no resistance whatsoever to looking after Naruto.

At most, he only got a headache when Naruto went on drunken rampages.

"Jiraiya, first, let's go back separately and get these two brats settled down. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Orochimaru suddenly smiled.

"Mm, that's true."

Hearing this, Jiraiya thought Orochimaru had forgiven him. As expected of my best teammate.
