"Speak!" Zilai also spoke after taking a sip of his wine.

"Say?" Minato raised his head in confusion, looked at his master, and then seemed a little uneasy, "That...is this really okay...not staying at the camp, but running to the izakaya in the village of Yunin..."

Just now Minato was trying his best to hide the bitterness in his heart, but Jiraiya half dragged him to the izakaya in Yunin Village, which is the closest to the camp, and pressed his precious apprentice in front of the izakaya's counter without saying a word.

"It's okay!" Zilai also waved his hands indifferently, "I have something to do, your master will take care of it!"

"Ahaha..." Minato smiled helplessly.For his cynical teacher, Minato respects but has nothing to do with it.

"Okay, don't worry about it!" Ji Lai also spread his hands, curled his lips in favor of an excellent and honest apprentice who was completely different from himself in some aspects, "If that's the case, can you say it?"

"Say?" Monk Zhanger Minato couldn't figure it out, "Say what?"

"Ah..." Jiraiya put down the wine glass that had just been brought to his mouth, stared at Minato for a long while, and then sighed, "Although your teacher and I usually look half-hearted, as an apprentice Minato— ——Do you—really think that I can’t understand anything? After all, I’m also your teacher, and I’ve led you around for so long, if I don’t know you a little bit, I don’t need to be called ‘Zi Lai Ye’!”

"Teacher?" Minato is as delicate as Minato, although occasionally there are times when she is careless due to lack of age and qualifications, but for certain things, such as when seeing her teacher being serious once in a while, Minato is naturally aware of something, " I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"It's really unreasonable to say you're cunning, you're usually a nice guy." After swallowing a sip of wine, Ji Lai also rolled his eyes at Minato, "But if you're honest, I didn't realize that you have oil time."

"...Huh?" Minato was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Sure enough... I thought I could hide it from the sky, but I couldn't escape the teacher's eyes after all..."

"Hmph, it's useless to flatter!" Jiraiya put his hand on the seat, looking very lazy, not at all like an elite ninja, "It used to be that when you did something wrong, your first reaction It's just a compliment... I don't know if you are an 'honest person' as the saying goes."

"Heh... I didn't expect the teacher to remember it." Thinking of the funny things in his childhood, Minato laughed.

"Don't change the subject, come back to me immediately!" Ji Lai also knocked on Minato's head, and said angrily.

"Ah... Teacher, what exactly do you want to ask?" Minato continued to pretend to be stupid, trying to brush things aside.

"Don't tell me?!" Zilai did not refuse, "Then I will help you tell it!"

"..." Minato lowered his head and remained silent.

"Tell me, what do you think is so good about that bamboo 'essence', and after subduing Bai Fang, it will make you lose your mind all day?" Zilai also gave his apprentice a look, and cut to the chase.

"I'm not out of my mind..." Maybe it's unique to this age, and when it comes to some sensitive topics, it's easy to avoid the important ones.

"Tsk, you look very smart, why are you so coy when it comes to critical moments?!" Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder carelessly, "Man, why are you embarrassed to say such a thing?! "

"..." The water gate remained silent.

"Oh." Zilai is also a bastard who eats the weight - determined - to drag out Minato's words, "Well, if you say it, you won't have to drink today; but if you don't, I will fine you five glasses !"

"Teacher...I..." Minato knew that his teacher was kind, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his long-standing forbearance would fall short and the bitterness would burst.

Ji Lai did not speak, and set out five cups in front of the water gate, filling each cup.

With this series of actions by Jiraiya, the corners of Minato's mouth twitched more and more... This scene reminded him of when he and his teammates were cheated by Jiraiya when he was a boy, and he drank a lot by mistake. Alcohol, the terrible past that led to later alcoholism...

"Teacher..." Minato twitched the corner of his mouth, and reluctantly looked at his 'hard-hearted' teacher and spoke.

"..." His eyebrows were raised a few times, and Zilai still didn't speak, but looked back at the apprentice he admired and proud of very calmly, with the meaning of "see who we are".

"..." Minato black line, knowing that he has no way out.

"Hatake Jominin."

Although there is no scene of flowers before and under the moon, no atmosphere of rubbing hands together, no artistic conception of smoke and rain, but two people who love each other can always create romance—this is the ability bestowed by the God of Love on lovers—and this ability will never To be exhausted because this is nourished with love.

But there are always those blind people who break the warm atmosphere of you and me.

"..." Hearing the sound, Shuo Mao clenched his hands, then let go, and then held them tightly, and then let go... Finally he sighed, "I don't know what orders you have?"

The dark gray mask blocked the expression of forbearance on his face, Shuo Mao turned around and faced the visitor, but the other hand still reluctantly left the slender waist.

"Master Miko invites you to come over and say that we have something to talk about." I don't know if the person who came here was too ignorant of words or Shuo Moo hid it too well, but the other party answered calmly and respectfully.

"Miko-sama?" Sakumo asked strangely, "Where's Tsunade?"

"Master Tsunade left halfway because he was going to heal the wounds of a ninja sent by Konoha." The other party still looked respectful.I think the name of Konoha Baiya does have a lot of deterrent power, otherwise how could the ninjas of Yunnin Village who are so conceited be so pleasing to the eye? !

"Is someone injured?" At this time, Quan Zhu, who had been listening quietly, asked, "What's going on?"

"Huh?" Hearing the sound, the other party raised his head and looked at Quanzhu, but saw that it was a strange face.Moving his eyes down, he immediately caught the intimacy of the two standing together.Seeing this, the other party seemed to snort coldly with disdain, and the two of them frowned half inexplicably and half in disgust, "Hmph, it hurts from drinking."

"..." Hearing this, the two of them had a black line together, wishing they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Coughing twice in embarrassment, Shuo Moo said, "I'll go right away, please inform the Miko-sama."

"This is what it should be. Please Hatake Kamijino as soon as possible." As soon as the words fell, the man disappeared into the air.

"... Who is this... haven't you ever had a drink?!" Seeing that the person had left, Quanzhu said in a forbearance tone.

"I don't know." Shuo Mao twitched the corners of his eyes, "But [-]% of them are from me."

"Ah? Hmm..." With droopy eyes, Quan Zhu nodded.

"..." Pursing his lips, Shuo Mao suddenly lowered his head and pulled off his mask.

"Huh?" Feeling something warm on his cheek, Quanzhu opened his eyes wide, looking at the instigator - Shuo Mao.

"I'm leaving, go back to the tent and wait for me!" Smiling into crescent moons, Shuo Mao put on the mask, turned and disappeared.

"Heh..." Quanzhu smiled sweetly as he stroked the place on his cheek that was attacked by surprise.

"Uh... It hurts... My head hurts..." The blue eyes slowly opened, and then they narrowed tightly because of the splitting headache.

"Huh? You know it hurts too?!" A lazy but slightly angry voice came from the side, followed by the voice of peeling an apple, "I just slapped you twice and you lost half It's life-like—you only know how to hum, but you don't know how to fight back."

"Ah..." Blinking, Minato felt that his headache was better, so he turned his head.

But I saw Quan Zhu sitting on the edge of the bed, peeling an apple in his hand.

Minato was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to sit up, but was stopped by a silver light that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Lie down." Quanzhu shook the fruit knife in his hand, and shot a silver light on Minato's face.

"..." Two blue eyes widened in horror, and Minato finally lay down obediently.

"En." Nodding in satisfaction, Quanzhu withdrew his hand and continued to peel the apple.

"Xiaozhu." Minato swallowed, opened his mouth, and called weakly.

"Say." He didn't want to say a word, and Quanzhu's expression was extremely serious and severe.

"..." Minato paused, knowing that Quanzhu would be in a bad mood, "I...did I lose my composure just now..."

"Hmph. You also know that you care about whether you lose your temper?!" With his nose out, Quanzhu took a plate from the side without raising his head, and began to cut the peeled apples into pieces, "Isn't it! I saw you standing on the table singing and biting your tongue several times; you even danced! It’s so good-looking, it’s as good as "Qingbo Dance"! The only fly in the ointment is that you stepped on your left foot and stepped on your right foot several times, and fell off the table , but I still know how to climb up. The last time I fell down, I hit the back of my head, so I passed out."

Following Quanzhu's description, a strange picture appeared in Minato's mind...

"Huh?" Looking up, Quanzhu saw Minzumon lying there, his eyes turned into two white circles, his mouth was so open that he wished he could stuff an apple into it—in short, it was an expression that wanted to hit his head to death——Quanzhu Seeing this, Zhu laughed, "Hehe, I lied to you! No, you've been sleeping—to be honest, your wine tastes good."

"...Ah, that's good, that's good." Although he was drunk, but due to his own good adjustment ability, Minato reacted.Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here." Picking up the fork at the side, Quan Zhu tied up a piece of apple and stretched it out to the mouth of the water gate.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Minato was flattered and struggled to get up, "I, I'll do it myself..."

"Lie down!" Quanzhu raised the fruit knife again, watched Minato lying back awkwardly, and then said, "Open your mouth!"

"Uh... oh." After a pause, Minato finally opened his mouth obediently under Quanzhu's power.

"En." Closing his eyes in satisfaction, Quan Zhu sent the apple into Minato's mouth.

After coming and going, Quan Zhu could be regarded as half forced and half forced to send a plate of apples into Minato's belly.Then he put down what was in his hand.

"Is it better?" Quanzhu picked up the paper towel beside him, helped Minato wipe the juice from the corner of his mouth, and then spoke.

"Hmm..." Minato's face, which had been at a high temperature since just feeding the apples, continued to heat up because of Quanzhu's intimate behavior.

"Can you sit up?" Izumitake asked in a slightly concerned tone as if he didn't see Minato's flushed face.

"Hmm... um." After hesitating for a while, after the water gate adjusted its state, it was a little difficult but still struggling to sit up.

Seeing this, Quanzhu got up and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help the water gate, and took a pillow and put it together with the original cushion, so that the water gate could lean on it more comfortably.

As for Minato, as the receiver of Izumitake's series of actions, his face that should have been flushed even colder.

Sniffing the warm fruity fragrance from the nose, Minato fell silent as if intoxicated and in a trance.

"Teacher...why are you doing this." She closed her sea-blue eyes, and when she opened them again, they were already filled with bitterness.

"..." 'Quanzhu' froze when he heard the words, then stood up straight, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. It wasn't sweet at all, but there was a hint that the soft voice of a woman had become a lot thicker, " Hahaha, you are indeed my apprentice!"

With a sound of 'bang', the 'Spring Bamboo' standing there was clearly Jiraiya.

Seeing this scene, Minato felt as if his heart had hit a pine tree, but he couldn't tell where the pain was.

Even though he knew clearly that it was just the result of illusion, how much Minato hoped that he could get a negative answer.

"Teacher, don't do this again, okay?" He said very calmly, only Minato knew how much courage it took to say these words.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zilai also said haha, he could think that his apprentice would be very uncomfortable, so he had to try to make the atmosphere lively.

"Huh? Wake up!"

A voice that just appeared not long ago sounded, Minato raised his head, and at a glance he judged that it was the real Izumitake.

"Actually, as long as I see her, I am very happy." Minato looked at Quanzhu, whispered, and after making sure that only Jilai could hear it, said, "I have never and will never expect to be able to hold her in my arms. I don't even need to get her affection... I just need to stand here, two steps behind her, and see her smiling."

"Ah, I know, you said you want to see her happy." Glancing at Minato, such a man like Jiraiya couldn't help but look distressed.

"Yeah." Minato smiled, watching Quanzhu walk over.Close your eyes, and when you open them again, Minato has learned to hide himself without wearing a mask... Falling in love with Izumitake is probably the only thing Minato has gained.

"It's enough, you!" Quanzhu walked over unhurriedly, and didn't hear the conversation between the master and the apprentice at all, both in tone and expression, "At first I heard that someone got hurt from drinking, and I still I thought it was Jiraiya—I never thought it was you—it seems that you still have unexpected abilities, huh?”

"Hehe, I'm sorry." Minato smiled calmly, "Because I was curious, I drank too much."

"Well, curiosity killed the cat." Quanzhu nodded and put down the things in his hand, "This is hangover tea, I just bought it from Yunin Village, drink it! I'll get you some water Wash your face."

With a wave of his hand, Quanzhu turned around and went out again.

"Jiraiya... ah, Minato has woken up." Just as Quanzhu left, a female voice with some pride walked into the tent.

"Yeah." Minato nodded with a smile, "It must have been Tsunade-sama who healed me just now, please."

"You're welcome! It's okay!" Tsunade waved his hand chicly, "I'm here to find Jiraiya...Jiraiya!"

"Ah, I got it!" Jiraiya curled his lips, and walked over impatiently, "Hey, Minato, you should rest well. If there are no accidents, the battle will start tomorrow."

"Yes, teacher." Minato obediently responded, watching Jiraiya leave with Tsunade, and suddenly called out, "Teacher!"

"Huh?!" Jiraiya and Tsunade turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound.

"Thank you teacher." With a smile, Minato looked at Jiraiya with sincere eyes.

"...Silly boy." Ji Lai also smiled.

"Huh? Where are you two going? I heard that dinner will be served soon."

"Huh?" Tsunade, who had just stepped out of the tent, raised his head upon hearing the sound, and saw Izumitake standing there holding a pot of steaming water, looking at himself and Jiraiya suspiciously, "Ah, that's right. It's nothing, we I'll be back in a while... If it's late, don't forget to make a meal for us!"

"Oh." Izumi Zhu nodded, watched the strange two leave, and walked towards the tent with a water basin, "Is it really as 'old and outmoded' as Mitarai and Orange said?"

"How?" Tsunade spoke when he walked to a quiet place and made sure there was no one around.

"What?!" Ji Lai also pretended to be stupid in a bored manner.

"..." Without further ado, Tsunade directly raised his fist - the ancients said: fists are the last word.

"...Okay, okay, okay, I say, I say!" Zilai is also considered a "junjie" who can understand current affairs.

"Why does Minato drink? He's not yet 20 years old." Tsunade withdrew his hand and asked very queenly.

"Ah, that's right." Jiraiya replied, "At first I asked him to tell me how he felt about Xiaozhu, but he refused to say anything, so I told Minato: Either talk or drink."

"He just chose to drink?!" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in surprise, "You didn't ask anything?!"

"Where?!" Zilai also waved his hand, "I haven't finished talking yet, don't interrupt!"

"..." Tsunade Shinobi—an ancient saying goes: A little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans.

"He said..." Jiraiya began to describe the beginning and end of the whole thing.

……

"Didn't you persuade him?" Tsunade asked after listening to Jiraiya's words.

"Do you think persuading him will be useful?" Zilai also sneered, "You don't know him well, even though he looks like a nice guy on the surface, God knows how stubborn this kid is."

"..." Tsunade remained silent.

"Actually, I persuaded you." Zilai also shrugged, "Do you know what this idiot said?"

"...what?" Tsunade asked.

"He said: At least let him see Xiaozhu happy, and then leave the 'two steps away' distance." Jilai also closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and spoke without any stuttering, because this sentence left the deepest impression on him .

"I'm afraid that by the time he sees her happiness, he will have been poisoned too deeply to be beyond redemption." After hearing this, Tsunade closed his eyes and sighed.

"Heroes see the same thing." Zi Lai Ye smiled, "That's what I said too."

"Let him go." Tsunade shook his head, "Silly boy."

"..." This time it was Zilai who was also silent.

Still sighing, I only heard a burst of sirens from the camp not far away.

"What's wrong...uh..." Frowning just now, Tsunade looked towards the camp, his eyes widened.

"This chakra..." Jiraiya bit his lip and turned around, "It seems that the mission is coming to an end... let's go!"

"Yeah." Tsunade nodded and followed.
