Trees Chapter 329 Damned Brat, You've Got The Wrong Person

Hearing Jiraiya's familiar voice, Naruto wondered if he had heard it wrong.

‘Obviously, this white-haired old man was beaten up yesterday...’

‘Why is he back at Orochimaru’s place again?!’

‘What the hell is he doing?!’

‘Sasuke’s literally here to catch them in the act, and yet this white-haired old bastard still came running back?!’

At this moment, Naruto’s mind was in turmoil. He had no idea how to face Sasuke later.

‘What a disgrace to our lineage!!’

Naruto shook his head in despair while sneakily observing Sasuke.

Just as he thought, Sasuke stopped beating Mitsuki when he heard Jiraiya's voice.

His expression remained as unreadable as ever, making it impossible for Naruto to guess what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke muttered under his breath, "That voice just now......"

"Was that Jiraiya?"

Naruto was terrified that Sasuke might snap, so he immediately shut his eyes and lied through his teeth.

"No!!"

"Sasuke, you misheard it!"

Remembering Sasuke’s earlier declaration...

"I’ll kill the whole family, the master, and even the disciple!"…

Naruto broke out in a cold sweat.

"Really?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto in confusion, not understanding why he reacted so strongly.

"Sniff… wuu…"

Mitsuki bit his lip, desperately trying to stay quiet.

But Sasuke didn't care at all. He picked up the black rod and continued to beat Mitsuki.

"Aahhh…"

The child’s screams resumed, and when Naruto see that Sasuke wasn’t reacting too badly, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

‘If I just distract him and keep him from going further inside… maybe we can avoid running into Jiraiya and Orochimaru’s scandalous affair...’

"Hey!!"

"Mitsuki! What did I tell you?!"

"You're just playing games, so what are you yelling about!?"

From around the corner, a white-haired man suddenly appeared, wearing a black leather mask on his face.

He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of loose training pants.

The moment he stepped into view, time itself seemed to freeze.

Just by hearing the voice, Naruto knew that the man was his master, Jiraiya.

‘But…’

‘What the hell is this white-haired old man wearing?!’

In the hall, Naruto, Sasuke, and Mitsuki all turned to stare at Jiraiya.

Sasuke’s gaze was filled with pure disgust. He had thought Naruto was just joking earlier…

‘But now, it seems that this white-haired old man is just as perverted as Kakashi!!’

Witnessing his master’s shameful display, Naruto clutched his face in agony.

‘We’re doomed, doomed!!’

‘White-haired old man, what are you still doing standing there?’

‘Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?’

‘Run quickly!!’

‘The man who tamed Medusa is here!!’

As if hearing Naruto’s thoughts, Jiraiya slowly began inching backward, as if trying to rewind time itself.

But just as he took his second step, he bumped into someone behind him.

"Jiraiya-sama."

"Why are you still here?"

"We already finished filming our scenes."

Kakashi's voice suddenly sounded, and that voice was like thunder that struck Jiraiya's heart...

Jiraiya was filled with despair.

He had always prided himself on his cunningness, and as long as he put his mind to it, handling Naruto should’ve been a piece of cake.

‘That yellow-haired brat would never have thought that I would run to Orochimaru's hideout right after being beaten.’

But reality proved him wrong.

‘Damn it!!’

‘Why does Naruto keep coming to Orochimaru’s hideout?!’

After Kakashi’s voice behind him, Jiraiya suddenly didn't know what to do.

‘It's over...’

‘I’m going to be beaten by Kushina and Tsunade again.’

When Kakashi noticed that the lead actor/director had frozen in place, he took a few steps forward to see what was going on.

From Naruto and Sasuke’s perspective, a feminine Kakashi, who is dressed in a sleek black Kunoichi outfit and dual shortswords strapped to his back, swayed his hips as he stepped into view.

Kakashi’s body also stiffened when he saw them.

But thinking back to the Transformation Technique he used, he felt these two guys wouldn't be able to tell.

‘As long as I don’t admit it, it’s fine.’

‘This shouldn’t be a problem.’

"White-haired slacker!?"

"What the hell are you doing here!?"

Naruto covered his face. He could see through Kakashi's Transformation Technique at a glance.

‘Seriously...’

‘I know you guys are into some... questionable stuff, but did you really have to go this far for ‘art’??’

"I'm not! I didn’t! Don’t just make things up!"

Kakashi jumped in shock and crossed his arms, vehemently denying his identity.

"You damned brat..."

"You must have mistaken me for someone else."

When Jiraiya heard what Kakashi said, he spoke without hesitation.

He looked as if he didn't recognize his own disciple.

Naruto rolled his eyes so hard it hurt.

‘Oh, so you’re just going to act like I didn’t hear the white-haired slacker call you ‘Jiraiya’ earlier, huh?!’

When Sasuke saw Kakashi in his feminized form, he immediately pulled out his phone and started taking pictures.

He was already thinking about how to contact Sakumo in the Pure Land.

‘Kakashi, you’re dead!’

Sasuke felt that Sakumo had gone too easy on him last time.

‘Before, this pervert just wore women's clothes, but now, he has started to use Transformation Techniques to do this kind of tricks?’

‘Disgusting!’

‘Absolutely disgusting!’

Sasuke really wants to escape from this bizarre world now.

He had a strong feeling that Kakashi’s habits were contagious.

"Sasuke! What are you doing!?"

Kakashi immediately got angry when he saw Sasuke taking pictures.

Last time he got beaten up, he’d noticed that most of the photos his father had were provided by Sasuke.

Now...

If his father knew about this, Kakashi felt that he would most likely be dragged straight to the afterlife by his father.

"Naruto, let's go."

Sasuke tossed the black rod to Naruto, kicked Mitsuki aside, and confiscated the kid’s phone while he was at it.

He wanted to make sure this kid wouldn’t keep scamming people later.

As for the ill-gotten money...

Well, confiscating that was only natural.

There's nothing wrong with a son supporting his father.

As for whatever was going on between Kakashi and Jiraiya...

Sasuke didn’t even want to look at it for another second.

"Oh... okay!"

Seeing Sasuke about to leave, Naruto finally felt a weight lift off his chest, "Jiraiya, Kakashi......."

"Are you two going to keep filming or not?"

Orochimaru's voice cut in, and in the next moment, he appeared between the two of them.

Then, Naruto caught sight of Orochimaru in a nurse outfit…

His clothes were even slightly disheveled.

‘Hiss…’

‘Are these three taking things too far?!’

‘There are actual kids in this hideout, you know!?’

Naruto couldn’t even imagine how a child like Mitsuki could grow up normally in an environment like this.

"Oh?"

"Sasuke, you're back?"

When Orochimaru saw Sasuke, he casually straightened his clothes.

"Disgusting."

Sasuke’s entire evaluation of the three of them was summed up in that one word. He didn’t feel they deserved even a single syllable more.

"Same as ever, Sasuke-kun..."

Orochimaru grinned, though there was a hint of irritation in his tone.

‘I’m just trying to make some money here, and you’re judging me??’

‘You eat my food, use my resources, then turn around and spend my money tipping the Raikage...’

‘How the hell do you have the nerve to say that to me?’
