Konoha great writer

"I haven't been back for a long time. Let's go have a meal together." Jiraiya said with a smile.

Now that he knew that he was very likely to be tricked by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was not angry. Anyway, he was not tricked once or twice.

Moreover, the tricks Sarutobi Hiruzen used against him were not intended to harm him.

Just like this speech, the advantages actually outweighed the disadvantages for him, but he didn't have much influence on Konoha's senior management or even becoming Hokage, so this "advantage" didn't have much effect on him.

"There's a new barbecue restaurant that opened recently." Tsunade nodded and led Jiraiya towards the food court, without giving Jiraiya a chance to choose other food.

"Barbecue, I eat it every day, and I'm a little tired of it." Jiraiya said, but his body instinctively followed Tsunade towards the food court.

In the past two years in the Land of Rain, he had taken Uzumaki Nagato and the three of them with him, and basically ate barbecue, grilled fish and other foods every day.

But despite this, he can still accept Konoha barbecue. After all, it is a professional barbecue in the store, and it will definitely taste much better than the one he grilled blindly in the wild.

Walking all the way to the barbecue restaurant, the two found a seat and sat down.

"First come the pork belly for two, and the beef for two." Tsunade finished ordering to the waiter skillfully.

"Okay, two more bottles of soju." Jiraiya added, then smiled at Tsunade and said, "Drink some wine in winter to keep warm."

This reason for drinking is apparently impeccable.

After a while, barbecue and soju were served.

The waiter helped put the pork belly and fatty beef on the oiled baking sheet, and then went to other tables to serve.

The pork belly and fat beef make a "sizzling" sound on the baking pan, which sounds very tempting.

Jiraiya opened the soju bottle, filled it first for Tsunade, then for himself, and then raised his glass to Tsunade: "Cheers."

"Ding"

The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't stop at the taste, but finished the cup in one gulp.

The physique of ninjas is much better than that of ordinary people, so even if they drink soju on an empty stomach, they will rarely suffer from symptoms such as stomach pain and gastric bleeding.

Of course, alcohol always has an anesthetic effect, and you will get drunk if you drink too much, unless you use chakra to eliminate the alcohol from the body before it spreads.

However, if you want to use chakra to eliminate alcohol, then the meaning of drinking is lost.

"Tsunade, do you know when Orochimaru will be back?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade after putting down the wine glass.

Due to various reasons, the three of them have not gathered together for a long time, so while returning to the village this time, he wanted to have a gathering with the three of them.

"He is the combat chief of the frontline force against the Iwa Ninja. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back this year." Tsunade said while turning the roasted meat with tongs.

Pork belly and fat beef are meats that are relatively easy to cook and will burn if roasted for too long.

"I see, I don't know when we will be able to gather together." Jiraiya sighed and filled the glasses for Tsunade and himself.

An hour later, Tsunade and Jiraiya's dinner came to an end.

All the barbecues on the table have been taken care of, and the number of soju bottles has increased from two to four.

After two bottles of soju, Tsunade and Jiraiya were both a little tipsy.

For some unknown reason, Jiraiya suddenly mentioned Uchiha Akino: "I met Akino in the Land of Fire, and this time we went back to Konoha Village together."

"How did you and him meet?" Tsunade had some doubts. After all, the two of them didn't seem to be "the same person."

Uchiha Akino is a positive and progressive young man, while Jiraiya is a "pervert".

"We all went to the annual meeting held by the Fire Country Writers Association." Jiraiya explained with a smile.

"Writers' Annual Meeting. I remember that your first book only sold a few dozen copies. Can you go to the Writers' Annual Meeting?" Upon hearing the word "writer", Tsunade mentioned Jiraiya's tragic past without mercy. .

Compared to Uchiha Akino's first book, which sold tens of thousands of copies, it's a world of difference.

"It's not dozens of copies, it's more than two hundred copies sold." Jiraiya corrected Tsunade's slip of the tongue.

"Haha." Tsunade was amused by Jiraiya's words.

"Let me ask you a question, is your relationship with Akino very good now?" Jiraiya continued to ask without paying attention to the reason for Tsunade's laughter.

"Well, what's wrong?" Tsunade nodded.

"There is something about you two." Jiraiya was halfway through his words, and waved his hands with a serious expression on his face: "Oh, it's nothing."

"Just tell me if you have anything to do. What are you doing coquettishly?" Tsunade felt that Jiraiya's words were a little "artificial". She obviously wanted to tell her, but she pretended not to.

"It's hard to say." Jiraiya shook his head.

After all, he had promised Uchiha Akino to keep it secret, so if he turned around and told it now, wouldn't it be too discreditable?

At least Tsunade has to ask him again.

"Why is it so hard to say? Come on, tell me." Tsunade had no intention of asking and directly spoke to Jiraiya in a commanding tone.

Seeing this, Jiraiya hesitated for a second, and then "reluctantly" said the words: "Tsunade, do you know that Akino likes you?"
