The Strongest Ninjutsu in the Ninja World - Reporting to Parents Technique

"Shudan, did you make a mistake?"

Nawaki turned his head to look at the empty doorway:

"There's no one here right now?"

"Tsk!"

Facing Nawaki's question, Shudan didn't say much, directly pulled out a kunai, and shot it towards the doorway. As Shudan's speeding kunai reached the previously empty doorway, it suddenly got stuck in mid-air!

"Shudan, this is our camp, don't do such dangerous things without thinking!"

Grabbing the kunai that was aimed at his crotch, Jiraiya revealed himself, sweating profusely. He looked at the people in the room somewhat awkwardly, paused, and then forced a stern demeanor:

"Shudan, you not only refused temptation but also publicly reported it. This is a very commendable act. Minato, Hyakusho, Nawaki, you three teammates should learn more from your captain. Resisting temptation resolutely is the essential quality a righteous ninja must possess. Sugimura Yamato..."

Jiraiya's eyes narrowed sharply:

"I've noted your actions, go to the disciplinary team and accept your punishment!"

"Yes!"

Facing Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, Sugimura Yamato didn't dare to say an extra word and dejectedly walked towards the disciplinary team.

"Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Hyakusho, Senju Nawaki..."

Jiraiya said calmly:

"I have something to say to Shudan, you guys go out first!"

"Yes!"

Minato, Hyakusho, and Nawaki exchanged glances and left the room.

"Shudan..."

Seeing that everyone had left, Jiraiya extended his hand:

"Since you reported Sugimura Yamato, hand over the ill-gotten gains he gave you!"

"Tsk!"

Shudan glanced at Jiraiya dismissively:

"Before I hand over these things, can I ask why the disciplinary team didn't come to investigate me, but instead, the famous Sannin, Jiraiya, is blocking me at the entrance of the supply exchange?"

"Cough cough..."

Jiraiya said righteously:

"Shudan, don't doubt my character. I was afraid that Yamato would panic if things were exposed and harm you, so I hid myself and set up a soundproof barrier at the entrance, just in case Sugimura Yamato or his accomplices tried to harm you from outside!"

"Are you an idiot?"

Shudan looked at Jiraiya with disdain:

"You wouldn't even fool a one-year-old child with those words! Don't think I don't know your intentions, Jiraiya, you just want to catch me off guard, don't you? Your methods are truly dirty!"

"Cough cough!"

Jiraiya choked again but still said stubbornly:

"Stop changing the subject. Never mind me, just hand over the ill-gotten gains first!"

"Dream on, I don't have any!"

Shudan looked at Jiraiya coldly:

"Why should I hand over the supplies I obtained through my own efforts? I reported him for bribery, but the items I received are mine. If you want me to hand over the ill-gotten gains, fine, trade me for an equal amount of supplies!"

"Hiss!"

Although he already knew this kid Shudan had a thick skin, Jiraiya hadn't expected his skin to be this thick!

Jiraiya hadn't considered handling Shudan's matter by the book, but Jiraiya's thick skin couldn't quite bring himself to do it. Shudan was still just an eight-year-old kid. If he were to blow this up just because Shudan had pranked him, where would Jiraiya's reputation go!

But this matter couldn't just be dropped. Regardless, Shudan's profiteering was a fact. Moreover, Jiraiya had long wanted to get back at this kid who had caused him so much trouble. His chest, still aching from Tsunade's attack, couldn't let Shudan off the hook. With this thought, Jiraiya showed Shudan a sinister smile:

"Shudan, don't think you're safe just because of this. Today, if you don't hand over the ill-gotten gains, I'll tell your adoptive father, Lord Hatake Sakumo, everything!"

"Hiss!"

This time, it was finally Shudan's turn to gasp. Jiraiya truly lived up to his reputation, the most terrifying ninjutsu in the ninja world—the Reporting to Parents Technique. This despicable and shameless move was used by this scoundrel with masterful skill.

"Jiraiya, don't think you can scare me. I, Shudan, am not to be trifled with!"

Shudan's eyes were blazing. If anyone else said it, it would be one thing, but Shudan was 100% certain that this bastard Jiraiya was the type to follow through on his threats!

Shudan swept the kunai and explosive tags on the table towards Jiraiya's feet:

"Don't think I'm scared of you, I just don't want to affect Uncle Sakumo's mood while fighting the Sand Ninja!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jiraiya put on a fake smile that couldn't be any more fake, and indifferently collected all the ninja tools that had fallen to the ground, looking smug:

"Our Konoha's genius medical ninja, Hatake Shudan, has grown up. He's already a ninja who can stand on his own and isn't afraid of the Reporting to Parents technique at all!"

"Damn it!"

Zhou Duan's face turned ashen as he watched Jiraiya walk towards the door, unable to stop him. There was nothing he could do; he was in the wrong this time and could only watch Jiraiya swagger away slowly. Fortunately, Zhou Duan wasn't lacking in supplies, it was just his pride that was hurt!

"Oh, right!"

Jiraiya, already at the door, seemed to suddenly remember something:

"Zhou Duan, I thought I was hiding pretty well. How did you find me just now?"

"It's simple!"

Zhou Duan's expression was blank, and he gritted his teeth as he coldly spat out a sentence:

"Isn't it normal procedure for a doctor to poison a patient while treating them, so they have a countermeasure?

Don't worry, what I gave you was just a potion to track your approximate location and make your little treasure... indisposed. It won't endanger your life!"

"Holy crap!"

Jiraiya was stunned:

"No doctor poisoning a patient is normal procedure! And you say 'just'? A potion to track my location is already too much. And that potion for your 'little treasure'... no wonder I've been feeling off lately. Zhou Duan, I haven't offended you, have I? What grudge do we have?"

"You're sure you haven't offended me?"

Zhou Duan shot Jiraiya a cold glance, his tone chilling:

"Who was the shameless bastard just now who threatened to tell the grown-ups?"

"That shameless bastard was me. Please, you must forgive me!"

Jiraiya prostrated himself before Zhou Duan, bowing his head to the ground:

"Please, for the sake of our past relationship, spare my life. This is my sincere apology!"

Jiraiya took out all the supplies he had just collected, not missing a single item:

"I will handle this unfortunate profiteering incident perfectly. A small gift, it's not much, but please, Lord Zhou Duan, you must forgive me!"
