Trees Chapter 252 Jiraiya: Hahaha! Naruto, You've Finally Gotten To This Day

Jiraiya wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him. After all, he didn’t expect to hear Naruto calling him ‘sensei’ so politely.

And with ‘most respected’ no less.

After squinting at Naruto suspiciously, Jiraiya rubbed his chin and began to think about it, ‘Something's wrong...’

‘Something is very wrong!’

‘This brat has always called me white-haired old man. If he shows some respect, he can at most call me old man.’

Jiraiya circled Naruto a few times, eyeing him carefully. Upon seeing the kid put on such an unnaturally well-behaved act, he became even more suspicious.

Then, with a sudden leap backward, Jiraiya pointed at Naruto and shouted, "You're not Naruto!"

Who the hell are you?! Drop the Transformation Technique right now!"

"If my real disciple finds out you’re impersonating him..."

"You’re dead meat!"

Jiraiya's tone was angry at first, but at the end of his words, he actually had a persuasive tone, as if warning the other party that it is still possible to turn back now, but if he waits for the real person to come over, it will be really over.

Naruto: “…”

"Seriously..."

"Old man, don’t push it!"

When Naruto saw Jiraiya like this, his polite facade instantly crumbled.

‘I speak so civilly and courteously, but don’t even appreciate it?!’

Hearing the familiar tone, Jiraiya was stunned for a few seconds, then his expression turned even weirder.

‘No!’

‘This little brat is definitely up to something big!’

Jiraiya seemed to have seen the scene of himself being beaten by Tsunade in his mind.

"Naruto..."

"Your sensei... uh, has something to do. Let’s talk next time."

"Hahahahahaha."

Jiraiya suddenly threw his head back in exaggerated laughter, then waved his arms as he turned to leave.

Bang…

A loud thud came from behind.

At this time, Naruto stood still, holding the eyes-filled Black Coffin with his right hand, and glared at Jiraiya with his face twitching.

As a Sage from Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya’s senses were sharper than most. The moment his foot hovered mid-step, he froze.

He knew full well that if he took even this step, the little brat behind him would definitely take action.

"Naruto... let’s talk this out..."

Jiraiya stiffly turned his head back and said with an awkward smile.

"Was I not talking properly just now?"

Seeing that the old man was at least somewhat cooperative, Naruto patted the Black Coffin and put it away.

"Fine, go ahead..."

"What kind of mess did you get into this time?"

"If it’s too big, I’m not covering for you."

"And also..."

"Can you please stop coming to me next time something happens? Why don't you go to your Senior Brother Nagato?"

Jiraiya rambled on and on, as if he was drafting his will for his troublesome disciple.

When the Six Paths of Pain and Konan came to perform in Konoha, Jiraiya had learned about Nagato's situation.

At that time, he was still complaining about why Danzo didn't die sooner, otherwise, he could’ve kicked the bastard’s corpse a few more times.

Now, he was pretty sure that the ‘Child of Prophecy’ he’d been searching for was Nagato, the one controlling the Six Paths of Pain.

There was no way in hell the Child of Prophecy could be Naruto.

As Naruto listened to Jiraiya's words, he just stood there, looking slightly restrained.

The sight made Jiraiya’s already frayed nerves tighten even further.

‘Oh no...’

‘What the hell is going on?!’

Jiraiya’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and his mind kept thinking about the disasters Naruto had caused over the years.

Rubbing his temples, he took a deep breath as if steeling himself for the worst.

"Alright!"

"Can you please stop acting like a kicked puppy?"

"You’re making me nervous!"

"Whatever it is, your teacher will handle it for you!"

"So spill it, what’s the problem!?"

Jiraiya felt that meeting this brat was the worst luck of his life..

But no matter what, Naruto is his disciple. Whatever trouble he was in, Jiraiya would always be someone he could rely on.

"Well..."

"Old man, please put your ears over."

Naruto gestured for Jiraiya to lean in, then glanced briefly into his sealed space, where the three Biju were busy playing poker.

Finally, he told him about his concerns about the Biju inside his body.

Jiraiya had braced himself for the worst, but upon hearing what Naruto said, his expression instantly cracked.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!"

"That’s what you’re worried about???”

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"So there’s actually something that scares you!?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Naruto's concerns.

After all, he never thought that the yellow-haired delinquent, who was not afraid of anything, would be afraid of such a thing.

"Shut up!"

"I didn’t tell you this so you could laugh at me!!”

"Is there a solution or not?!”

Jiraiya tapped his chin and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Naruto’s eyes instantly lit up with hope.

But a few seconds later, the white-haired old man solemnly pulled out his phone from his robe and slung an arm around Naruto’s shoulder.

"Naruto... was this post on the forum made by you?"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Bang…

The laughter didn’t last long before it was abruptly cut off, followed by the sound of fists meeting flesh.

A few minutes later...

The two of them have entered the bathhouse and are enjoying the hot springs.

"Ahhh...!"

"Good sake!"

Jiraiya raised his head and drank the whole cup of sake, and all his fatigue was melting away.

Of course, although this cup of sake is good, it can't dispel the dark circles on his face.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

"Why did you bring me here?"

Naruto leaned back against the edge of the pool. He was completely baffled by the old man’s sudden invitation to bathe together.

No matter how much he asked, Jiraiya just kept giving him that annoyingly mysterious look.

"Naruto..."

"You’ve really grown up, huh..."

Jiraiya stared at Naruto and said something completely out of the blue.

Whether it was his talent for causing trouble or his other achievements, Naruto had indeed done well over the years.

There has been no major chaos in the Shinobi World in recent years.

It can be said that the Shinobi World is slowly moving toward peace, which makes him, who had always pursued peace, filled with immense satisfaction.

Well... except for that incident in Amegakure.

But Nagato had said that aside from the village being destroyed, not a single person had died in that disaster.

So, rounding it off, nothing really happened.

Naruto rolled his eyes at Jiraiya’s sentimental words and ignored him.

"Actually..."

"Many years ago, Minato also asked me this question."

Jiraiya smiled mysteriously, and felt more and more that the two father and son are really the same.

"Oh!"

"So I’m not the only normal one in the Shinobi World!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, what do I need to do now?"

Naruto first expressed approval for his father’s actions, and then looked at Jiraiya expectantly.

"Young people are always so impatient..."

Jiraiya chuckled meaningfully, making Naruto’s fists clench again.

"Damn it!"

"Old man, can’t you just spit it out in one go?!"

"Alright, alright, put that rock down first!"

Jiraiya calmly took another sip of sake, then rummaged through his clothes nearby and pulled out a scroll.

"Here, take this scroll."

"It contains the technique developed by Minato and Kushina."

He casually tossed the scroll into the hot spring, which scared Naruto a lot.

"Old man!!"

"Are you crazy! What if the scroll accidentally fell into the water!?"

Naruto fumbled to catch it, then immediately roared at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya didn't care about Naruto’s reaction, and threw another scroll to Naruto.

"This scroll is to remove the Biju’s seal in your body."

"Take it back with you."
