Four and a Half Years of Flirting Experience

In the woods outside Nuanhe Town, master and disciple had a fierce argument.

"Sensei! Since you said you've liked Lady Tsunade since childhood, especially after she hit puberty, then you absolutely can't just walk away now!"

"Then what should I do?"

"Go back, apologize, and have a proper talk with Lady Tsunade. Admit that you lingered here for more than ten days because you were waiting for her, even delaying your team's mission because of it."

Minato possessed the profoundly meaningful, ruthless ninja world Reformation System, where all things were treated equally. The more he influenced the development of the ninja world, the more Power of Reformation it could provide him.

The Power of Reformation would simply and brutally convert into chakra, strengthening him. Once he had enough chakra, even a Rasengan could become a Tailed Beast Ball.

He wondered whether changing Jiraiya and Tsunade's relationship could provide Power of Reformation.

Remembering Tsunade's fists, Jiraiya shook his head repeatedly in fear. "Minato! You're a genius, but you don't understand. Once Tsunade gets furious, she doesn't hold back when she hits me. She'll beat me to death."

"I understand!" Minato Namikaze stressed.

"Sensei, I may only be eleven, but I already have four and a half years of flirting experience.

"I started flirting with the transfer student Kushina Uzumaki long ago. When it comes to flirting, you have zero experience. You're nowhere near my level.

"Really, Sensei. Go back now and have a proper talk with Lady Tsunade. Emphasize how painstakingly you waited for her. Even if she gets angry, she'll plant a different kind of affection for you in her heart!"

Haneina stared at Minato Namikaze in shock. She knew there was something going on between Minato and Kushina in class, but she had not expected it to have started so early.

Jiraiya was half-convinced, half-doubtful. "What you said... is true? If I go back and apologize now, and lie that I was waiting for her, she'll develop different feelings for me?"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, ask Haneina. Haneina is a girl too; she understands how girls think."

Jiraiya looked toward Haneina, who hurriedly waved her hands. She did not have any romantic experience either. How could she know what Lady Tsunade would think?

"Well... maybe... I'm not sure either. But if Lady Tsunade met an old classmate outside the village, she should feel close to him, right?"

"Close? Really close?"

Jiraiya's gaze had already turned hazy, as though he had thought of something improper.

"Fine!" Jiraiya fiercely tossed his white hair. "Then I'll go back and talk to Tsunade! Kato Dan died in the Second Ninja World War; it's my turn now!"

Minato Namikaze secretly rejoiced.

He hoped to change Jiraiya's tragic fate from the original story. Jiraiya had died too hastily, without even having the time or opportunity to win Tsunade's heart.

Jiraiya might always be peeping, but he was still a virgin when he died. It was simply too miserable.

A man should not be this miserable.

Jiraiya clapped his hands together, prepared to heed the guidance of the Child of Prophecy.

"Fine, I'll go back. At worst, I'll take another punch. I have to plant a different kind of affection in Tsunade's heart."

Jiraiya turned and headed back, while Minato cheered him on from behind.

"Sensei, you can do it! Remember to use the Transformation Technique first. Don't get beaten by the villagers before you even see Lady Tsunade!"

Although Jiraiya peeped, once he was discovered, he would honestly take his beating and never used ninjutsu to fight back. Even among peeping toms, he could be considered aboveboard.

Tsunade had just paid the Women's Bathhouse and the inn a hefty sum. She had smashed several walls and was in an awful mood, drinking in a tavern.

The money she had brought from Konoha was nearly gone.

She had come to Nuanhe Town this time, but before she could even have fun at the casino, she had already paid out money. What rotten luck.

If she caught Jiraiya, she would definitely beat him to death.

As she pondered this, she saw a white-haired young man sit across from her.

Tsunade raised her head, her gaze unfriendly.

When she was in a bad mood, she hated greasy men trying to strike up conversations the most.

Yet with just one glance, she saw that the person before her was Jiraiya transformed with the Transformation Technique.

Tsunade clenched her fist, ready to throw a punch.

But then she looked at the display window behind Jiraiya. The glass was so large that it was obviously expensive. If she sent Jiraiya flying, he would run off, while she would still have to pay for the glass.

Jiraiya sat half-raised, half-seated, his legs bent as he prepared to leap backward at any moment and deflect Tsunade's monstrous punch.

He had been beaten so often that he was experienced.

What relieved him was that Tsunade had not punched him immediately.

As expected of my disciple with four years of flirting experience. He really understands women.

Thus, Jiraiya slowly sat down.

"Tsunade, I didn't expect your temper to have softened somewhat. Did you guess why I came to see you again?"

The muscles on Tsunade's face twitched, making her brows tremble. Through gritted teeth, she said, "You! Why do you still dare show your face before me?!"

"Ahem." After coughing twice, Jiraiya said,

"Tsunade, I learned of your travel plans and knew you would come to Nuanhe Town these days.

"So I came more than ten days early to wait for you, all so I could see you here."

Jiraiya felt that he had performed excellently. Following his disciple Minato's advice, he had made up a pretty good lie.

"Oh? You came more than ten days early just to wait for me at the Women's Bathhouse?"

Tsunade's breathing quickened. "Jiraiya, give me your wallet."

"Why should I give you my wallet?"

Facing Tsunade's furious gaze, Jiraiya did not dare hesitate and hurriedly offered up his wallet.

Taking it, Tsunade looked over the more than one hundred large-denomination bills inside and put it away with satisfaction.

"If I don't take your wallet, where will I get money to compensate the tavern owner?"

"Huh? Why do you need to compensate the tavern owner?"

The next second, Jiraiya flew backward.

He had already lowered his guard, unlike the countless previous times when he had been prepared to retreat and disperse the force.

Tables, chairs, wine bottles, and glass—all of them were shattered by Jiraiya's back.

"Tsu—"

Spitting blood, Jiraiya vanished through the window.

With a cold expression, Tsunade slapped a stack of money onto the table and chased after him.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya had already fled without a trace.

Outside the village, Minato saw dust rising from the street.

Host chakra: 95 units.

As the Host brought about reformation, Tsunade vented her anger and bore slightly less resentment toward Jiraiya. There was now a small possibility that they might be together in the future.

The Host was rewarded with 1 unit of chakra. The Host's chakra has become 96 units.

Trading one heavy punch for Jiraiya for one unit of his own chakra was absolutely worth it.

But then again, love was worthless compared to turning over fields.

Guangxia had brought him dozens of units of chakra, while Jiraiya's love had only brought one unit. That was only because Tsunade and Jiraiya were important figures in the ninja world.

Blood at the corner of his mouth, Jiraiya collapsed to the ground the moment he appeared with the Body Flicker Technique.

Haneina cried out, "Sensei wasn't beaten to death, was he?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly used Healing Ninjutsu to treat the fracture in Jiraiya's chest.

Akimichi Jirokuma shook his head. "Probably not. Sensei Jiraiya is one of the Three Ninja. He shouldn't die here, right?"

After Haneina gave him some preliminary treatment, Minato Namikaze helped Jiraiya up and said, "Run! Princess Tsunade is about to catch up!"

A few seconds later, Tsunade landed heavily, cracking the ground beneath her feet.

Looking at Jiraiya being carried over Minato Namikaze's shoulder in the distance, she secretly sighed that Jiraiya had taken in a good disciple.
