You Can't Control It!

As Hatake Kakashi and Hyuga Bin left the Hokage's office, they were already wearing their specially made Jonin vests.

The appointments of the two would also be publicly announced in Konoha for a period of one month.

As they parted ways, Hyuga Bin and Hatake Kakashi agreed to have barbecue that evening before heading home.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had given them three Jonin vests and appointment letters, which needed to be taken home.

It wasn't until evening that Hyuga Bin and the other four gathered at the food street to start their barbecue for the night.

Entertainment in the world of Naruto was very limited, so Hyuga Bin and Hyuga Masayuki's group of five could only eat, drink, and eat some more.

Although drinking was forbidden for those under 15, and visiting the red-light district was also off-limits, Hyuga Bin secretly felt it wouldn't be a problem.

However, Hyuga Masayuki vetoed Hyuga Bin's idea of drinking.

Besides being Hyuga Bin's team leader, he was also his elder, so he naturally had to supervise him.

Precisely because they didn't drink, the gathering ended abruptly before 9 PM, and they all went their separate ways home.

Hyuga Bin was bored and didn't return to the clan grounds with Hyuga Masayuki. Instead, he wandered the streets to aid digestion.

Then, as he passed by a certain street, his Byakugan, with its far superior vision, vaguely spotted someone lying on a rooftop.

Beneath this rooftop was the women's bathhouse.

Nine o'clock at night was precisely when the girls took their baths.

Hyuga Bin didn't even need to think. At this hour, in Konoha village, where security was excellent due to the Uchiha's forceful law enforcement, the only man daring enough to peek into the women's bathhouse would be the pervert Jiraiya.

Hyuga Bin couldn't help but chuckle at this:

Always peeking at other women, no wonder you can't win Tsunade over.

Just as he was about to pretend not to see Jiraiya and walk past, Hyuga Bin received the fourth option mission of the day.

[Option A: Shout towards the women's bathhouse: "There's a pervert on the roof." Completion Reward: Specially refined Kunai (D-rank reward).]

[Option B: For a scoundrel like Jiraiya, he should be taught a lesson with fists. Charge forward and beat him up, making him realize his mistake of peeking into the women's bathhouse. Completion Reward: Water Style - Water Ball Jutsu (C-rank reward).]

[Option C: Driven by curiosity, you decide to join Jiraiya in his spot on the roof and peek together. Completion Reward: Wood Style - Three Rooms, Two Halls Jutsu (B-rank reward).]

[Option D: Proactively stop Jiraiya from peeking. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +0.1.]

After selecting Option D, Hyuga Bin directly called out to Jiraiya on the roof, "Lord Jiraiya."

Jiraiya flinched, startled.

He turned his head, saw Hyuga Bin not far away, and then jumped down from the roof. He slowly walked up to Hyuga Bin and asked, "You're Bin-kun, right?"

Jiraiya had heard about Hyuga Bin from Tsunade, and combined with the handsome appearance of the person before him, he made the correct judgment.

After all, among the Hyuga Clan, he was currently the only one that handsome.

"Mhm, what were you doing just now, Lord Jiraiya?" Hyuga Bin nodded, pretending not to know, and asked Jiraiya.

"I was gathering material and looking for inspiration," Jiraiya said with a smile, brushing it off.

"Is that so." Smelling the alcohol on Jiraiya, Hyuga Bin felt the urge to drink and immediately asked, "Lord Jiraiya, would you like to go for a drink together?"

He had wanted to drink during dinner, and now going home to sleep without drinking felt like something was missing.

"Sure." Jiraiya accepted Hyuga Bin's invitation.

He was already a lover of alcohol, so he naturally wouldn't refuse an invitation from Tsunade's "quasi-disciple."

Ten minutes later, in a dimly lit izakaya.

Hyuga Bin, who had transformed to look like he was sixteen or seventeen, and Jiraiya sat side-by-side at the bar.

Two bottles of sake and some snacks were placed on the counter in front of them.

Hyuga Bin poured sake for Jiraiya, then for himself, and raised his glass, "Lord Jiraiya, cheers."

"Cheers."

After much toasting and drinking, Hyuga Bin and Jiraiya became more familiar with each other, and the conversation flowed.

Hyuga Bin proactively brought up the matter of encountering the Akatsuki trio a few years ago:

"A few years ago, when I was on a mission in the Land of Rain, I met your three disciples, Lord Jiraiya."

"You mean Yahiko and them?" Jiraiya was a little surprised. He had taught Yahiko and the other two for several years before traveling extensively and hadn't seen them in a long time.

"Mhm, I had a very pleasant conversation with them. I told them I'd bring them books published by you, Lord Jiraiya, the next time I visit the Land of Rain." Hyuga Bin nodded.

During his brief interaction with the trio, Hyuga Bin felt that Yahiko had a good personality, Konan was quite cute, and Nagato Uzumaki was a bit introverted.

If not for Yahiko's death, all three would have been decent people, worth "befriending."

"Is that so? I'll give you a few tomorrow, and you can give them to them when you have time."

"I've been wanting to read some books myself lately, so I'll read them first before giving them to them." Hyuga Bin smiled and nodded.

As the night wore on, Hyuga Bin and Jiraiya's conversation grew more passionate.

The two chatted from ninja matters to life, from life to art, from art to creation...

Especially when it came to creation, Hyuga Bin had been an avid reader before his transmigration. He had countless ideas and stories stored in his mind, which captivated Jiraiya to no end.

Finally, they moved on to the topic of love.

By this point, Hyuga Bin and Jiraiya had already consumed several bottles of sake and were arm-in-arm, as close as could be.

"Lord Jiraiya, regarding you and Lady Tsunade, there's something I wanted to discuss... I don't know if it's appropriate to say." Hyuga Bin felt that even though he was drunk, his consciousness was still clear, so he believed his logic was perfectly sound.

"It's appropriate!"

Jiraiya lay sprawled on the bar counter, his eyes tightly shut.

Hyuga Bin, with a somewhat hazy gaze, put his arm around Jiraiya's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Lord Jiraiya, if you trust me, then heed my advice. Lady Tsunade, you can't handle her. Her waters run deep...

No, that's not it. She's a woman who's been hurt; it's very difficult for her to fall in love with someone again."
