The man standing at the top of the ninja world

"Ah" the peeper's attention was focused on the wall. He was hit by Yahiko's solid kick. He let out a scream, his body tilted to the other side uncontrollably, and he stumbled to the ground.

After falling to the ground, there was a look of pain on his face. He rubbed the area hit by Yahiko's kick with trembling fingers and groaned: "Hey, it hurts so much."

Immediately, the peeper jumped up from the ground and shouted angrily: "Who, who dares to sneak attack me?"

"It's me." Yahiko raised a fist and accused loudly: "You bastard, you dare to spy on girls taking a bath outside the women's bathhouse. I want to teach you a lesson..."

Yahiko suddenly couldn't speak anymore. He widened his eyes and looked at the peeper in astonishment. He said in disbelief: "You are...Jiraiya-sama"

The voyeur who was leaning on the wall to spy on the girls taking a shower was none other than Jiraiya, who left Konoha two and a half years ago in search of the son of the prophecy mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.

Jiraiya was already an adult, and his appearance had hardly changed in more than two years, so Yahiko recognized him immediately after seeing his face.

"Boy, you know me" Jiraiya frowned.

Compared to Jiraiya, who has not changed much, Yahiko's appearance has changed much more. Two and a half years is enough for a child's face to undergo earth-shaking changes. Jiraiya stared at Yahiko's face carefully for several seconds. , only to be able to barely identify his identity based on his orange hair and vague memories in his mind.

"You are...Yahiko"

A look of joy appeared on Yahiko's face, and he said excitedly: "It's really you, Lord Jiraiya, you are finally back."

Sure enough, it was Jiraiya. I knew that he was the only person in Konoha who would do such a thing. Nagato, who ran over a step behind Yahiko, looked at Jiraiya and shook his head speechlessly.

"Jiraiya-sama, it's really you." After seeing Jiraiya's face clearly, Konan was as surprised as Yahiko.

Jiraiya heard the sound and looked at Konan, then at Nagato, "You are... Konan, and Nagato."

On the other side, after Yahiko's excitement calmed down, his expression gradually became weird. He looked at the small holes on the wall of the women's bathhouse, then looked at Jiraiya, and asked blankly: "Jiraiya-sama, what are you doing? I will spy on girls taking showers here.”

At this moment, Yahiko felt that his whole mind was in chaos.

Before today, if someone had told him that Jiraiya went to peek into the women's bathhouse, Yahiko would have thought that person was talking nonsense. Yahiko Jiraiya, who wrote novels such as "The Story of Strong Perseverance" in pursuit of world peace. The image in his mind was extremely majestic, and he would never do such an obscene thing.

However, now it was not someone who told him, but what he saw with his own eyes. Even though it was hard for him to believe it, it was the truth.

"I'm... I'm..." Jiraiya looked embarrassed when he heard this. He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't think of any suitable reason to cover up his behavior.

And to be honest, it's even worse. Yahiko and Konan are his only two fans. If they know that his hobby is to spy on girls taking a shower, they will definitely be disappointed and stop being his fans, or even He might even spurn him, which was something Jiraiya couldn't accept.

What made Jiraiya feel even worse was that he found that Konan's eyes had begun to look wrong when he looked at him, and the little girl with red hair who was following Nagato looked at him even more unkindly.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "I am collecting materials."

Yahiko asked blankly: "Getting materials"

"That's right." Jiraiya said decisively: "It's just to collect materials. I'm going to create a new novel, so I came here to collect materials and find inspiration."

"Really...really?"

"of course it's true"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, seeing that Yahiko still wanted to continue asking, he asked first: "By the way, Yahiko, why are you here?"

"Jiraiya-sama, it's like this." Yahiko replied: "We went to the forest to practice after school today. After finishing the practice just now, we were going to take a bath in the bathhouse, and then I saw you..."

"Yahiko." Before Yahiko could finish what he said, Jiraiya hurriedly interrupted him, "Since you just came back from training, you must not have had time to eat yet, so you must be very hungry now, right?"

Yahiko nodded honestly, "I am indeed a little hungry."

Jiraiya waved his hand, "Okay, I'll treat you to something to eat."

"Treat us to eat"

"Yes, just think of it as celebrating our reunion." Jiraiya said quickly without thinking, no matter what, he just wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

......

A moment later, in a ramen restaurant in Konoha Village.

After ordering the meal, while waiting for the ramen to be served, Uzumaki Kushina, who was sitting in her seat, first looked at Jiraiya with suspicious eyes, then looked at Konan and Yahiko, questioning: "Yahiko, Konan, Are you two mistaken? Is this pervert who peeped at girls taking a shower really Jiraiya-sama, who is as famous as Tsunade-sama? You must have admitted your mistake, right?"

Although Uzumaki Kushina has never met Jiraiya, she has heard of Jiraiya's reputation.

In the war between Konoha and Rain Country, although Danzo was the last person to negotiate with Hanzo, it was undoubtedly the Sannin who defeated Hanzo.

Therefore, although Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, has not shown up for a long time, he is still very famous in Konoha, and the name of the three ninjas is also widely spread. The villagers regard him as the second ninja world. The heroes and heroes of Konoha during the war, and the teachers of the ninja school also told the students about Jiraiya's deeds in the war.

Therefore, it is really difficult for Uzumaki Kushina to connect the hero of Konoha mentioned by Takuta Fujita with the pervert in front of him who peeped at the girl's bath.

"Of course he is Jiraiya-sama." Yahiko said loudly: "It was Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama, and Orochimaru-sama who brought us back from the Land of Rain, and Jiraiya-sama was leaving Konoha I gave us a lot of ninjutsu before, how could I admit my mistake?"

Uzumaki Kushina was unmoved at all and snorted coldly, "Humph, then please explain why the dignified Sannin peeped in the women's bathhouse."

"This... didn't Jiraiya-sama say that he was there to write a novel, so he drew materials there..." Yahiko's voice became softer as he spoke. Apparently he himself felt that Jiraiya's explanation Something is wrong.

What kind of novel should I write that requires going to a women's bathhouse to collect materials?

The atmosphere between the few people gradually became tense. At this moment, Xiaonan spoke up to break the silence.

She looked at Jiraiya and said softly: "Jiraiya-sama, when you left Konoha, you said you were going out to find inspiration so that you could continue to write the follow-up content of the Strong and Perseverant Nindenden. Now that you are back, that strong I must have finished writing The Story of Perseverance, right?"

"In this case, can you let us take a look? Yahiko and I can't wait to see Naruto's next story."

Yahiko's attention was immediately attracted by Konan's words, and he echoed: "Yes, Jiraiya-sama, Konan is right, I really want to know what happens next."

"You promised us that you would show us the follow-up content as soon as you wrote it. But after you left, there was no news for two and a half years. I was almost dying of waiting."

"Now that you are back in Konoha, let us take a look quickly."

"My..." Jiraiya fell into an awkward situation again. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said dejectedly, "Yahiko, Konan, I'm sorry, I haven't written the follow-up content of the Strong and Persevering Nindenden yet."

“And, I thought I might never be able to write it.”
