A New "Ally": Utatane Koharu!

"Tsunade, you shouldn't have agreed to him just now!"

Now, whenever they walked down the street, people pointed at them and whispered.

If the things in the book had been false, Mitokado Homura would naturally have been fully justified in having Jiraiya confiscate the books in the name of
