The bar was as always crowded. Jiraiya loved this place and was glad that it survived after the Fourth War. Excellent sake and a spicy company what else did he need? After the meeting with Orochimaru Sannin was even more eager to return to Konoha. He wanted to see with his own eyes how things had changed and what Naruto had become ... and what Tsunade had become.

Jiraiya choked, noticing the familiar figure. It seems he was lucky to meet old friends faster than he thought. Tsunade sat down at the counter and seemed to be about to get a good drink. His first desire was to approach her and whatever happens, but he didn't want to frighten her. On the contrary, he had a plan to talk with her so that she did not immediately realize that it was him, and then ... bah! ... and here he is, Jiraiya! Alive, cheerful and ready to comfort his beloved old friend! Having called the barman to him, the sannin silently put his money in his pocket and winked.

"It's good when you're a favorite regular customer and you can do a lot.

Using Henge and turning into a gray-haired bartender with a big mustache, he approached Tsunade. She always liked to talk to the bar staff when she drank well, so he was confident of his success.

"Welcome to our bar, what would you like to order?"

@frogprinceus / @pineapple-leaf The serpent had known something was wrong with their mentor, that things were digressing down the wrong road at a rapidly destructive rate. Childhood memories compelled them all to give the man a chance, a second and third one- but even those had run out. And when Hiruzen drew his blade, aiming it at his once prized pupil, the viper hadn’t had much choice but to strike back. Of course, alone, he didn’t possess the ability to take down the man who taught him all he knew- and so, retreating, escaping, had been his only hope. The snake had once informed his team of his concerns, and either they had not wanted to believe him, for the sake of their teacher, or they had maintained an air of professionalism until proper evidence was presented. Good enough evidence to actually take the man down. Now, the serpent finally had that. Summoning his team mates was the simple part, the black haired Sannin still keeping himself hidden from others eyes. He may very well have been placed as a missing nin, may be a target under Hiruzens orders.

“Jiraiya, Tsunade,” the viper greets, his figure concealed, the location an abandoned medical ward. The pale shinobi had sent his summons to fetch the two other Sannin, so that they could finally know all he did as well. So that they could, in the same token, both assist and protect the serpent from their mentor. The experiments he had done, under the mans orders, the newest and most devilish requests, they all remained in a folder. And he extended that folder towards the other two shinobi. They could work the rest out on their own with this information. “I think we’ve been discussing this long enough... you know why I’ve called you,” he states again, he is tired, has just fled their teacher. Only one wound remains, he shall ask Tsunade to heal him, but only once he is sure both of his friends are in agreement to this decision. This revelation. One does not fight Lord Third without some tragedy befalling them.

Jiraiya embraced Tsunade more tightly, gently kissing in the ear. He loved these moments when they were alone.

After all that they had to experience, it seemed like an amazing dream. Jiraiya cautiously touched his son's head, not believing in his happiness. It was the best gift Tsunade could give him. His eyes filled with tears as he looked at his wife.

"He is beautiful as his mother."

His voice trembled. He did not know how else to express the feelings that gripped him at that moment. They tried many times to have a child, but nothing happened. When they despaired, Ryu, the daughter of a beautiful woman, whom Jiraiya once traveled, appeared in their lives. A small miracle that lit up their lives. Now, in their life, another miracle has appeared. Hiroyuki.

"Thank you."

Can I get one 👀👀
