Chapter 137: Like-Minded PeopleNaruto's words left Jiraiya stunned on the spot. Originally, he had not intended to reveal his identity, planning instead to act as if they had bumped into each other by chance so he could teach Naruto some Ninjutsu.But unexpectedly, Naruto recognized him immediately. He could not help but mutter to himself: "How old was he back then? Shouldn't a child that small have no impression of me? Why was he able to recognize me?"However, Jiraiya quickly let it go. After all, Narutowas the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki and also the child of the Fourth Hokage, so it was normal for him to have some exceptional talents.Thinking of this, a smile hung on the corners of Jiraiya's mouth. He stepped forward quickly and affectionately patted Naruto on the head, saying: "Naruto, time flies! Have you already grown this big in the blink of an eye? You must have been doing well these past few years!"Naruto nodded and replied: "Yeah. In the time after you left, I went through a very difficult period, facing hostility everywhere in my life. But thankfully, I made many friends later on. Through my own efforts, my strength has gotten stronger and stronger. Especially after Sister Tsunade came back, my life changed completely.""Oh? Did the Third Hokage not take good care of you? That was something I personally entrusted to him before I left! Has that old guy lost his mind? Even if you do not consider my connection, out of respect for... sigh, forget it. Maybe he had his own hidden difficulties! By the way, you are saying your life improved later because of that Tsunade? She is still the same as always! Even though she is old enough to be a grandmother, she still insists that others call her'Sister'. Hehe, Naruto, did she force you to call her that?"Hearing this, Naruto's expression turned strange, revealing a look that every man would understand, and then he whispered: "Hehe, actually, that is not it. The key is that she really does look very young. Moreover, calling her'Sister' helps close the distance between us. Not to mention when I was little, even now, she often hugs me to sleep!"Jiraiya became interested immediately. He widened his eyes, quickly pulled Naruto aside, and asked: "Naruto, is what you said true? Hurry up and tell me, what does that top-tier, voluptuous figure feel like? For so many years, I have never been able to forget it. I never expected that you, brat, would get ahead of me. Hehe, it really was not in vain that I took care of you for those few years! I must say, you have truly inherited some of my essence. Hurry up and tell me! I cannot wait; I even have a chapter reserved for it in my work!"Naruto started whispering in his ear, and Jiraiyalistened with great excitement. The old man and the young boy just started chatting heatedly at the entrance of the hot spring.At the end of this segment, Naruto even said to him: "Pervy Sage, I am way better than you on this point!"Looking at it now, at least three girls have already fallen for me, and their potential is all top-notch. It is better to cultivate these things from a young age; I will definitely have more than one partner in the future.After hearing this, while feeling a bit jealous, Jiraiyaalso felt a sense of camaraderie, feeling that he finally had a successor.In high spirits, he bought some food and brought Naruto to the side of a small river outside the Village, where they began to have a heart-to-heart talk.The more they chatted, the more Jiraiya felt that Naruto was unfathomable. He had not expected that at such a young age, Naruto would be so well-versed in women and certain kinds of knowledge, even surpassing him in some aspects.Of course, Naruto had not actually experienced these things yet, but at the very least, in his past life, he was an ultimate otaku who had viewed countless films. The various styles and positions were naturally incomparable to what Jiraiya knew.The two of them drank a little sake while chatting about everything under the sun, but in terms of obsession with this aspect, Naruto still could not compare to Jiraiya.It seemed that as long as they talked about this topic, he would never get tired. In the end, it was Naruto who changed the subject, asking: "Pervy Sage, you... do not go out looking for any child of prophecy anymore."As soon as these words were spoken, Jiraiya's expression instantly turned one of great surprise. He asked incredulously: "What? How do you know about these things? Who told you? Could it be that you have already met the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku?"Naruto shook his head and replied: "Because there is no need for you to go out and search anymore, because I am the child of prophecy!"Now, Jiraiya was even more incredulous and hurriedly pressed for the reason, and Narutoexplained it to him with the words he had long prepared.To make him believe, he finally added: "Pervy Sage, I would not lie to you. If you do not believe me, just go and ask the Toad Sage."Naruto spoke logically and clearly, and his various reasons were flawless. By this point, Jiraiya almost believed what he said.It was just that he found it somewhat hard to accept that after searching continuously outside for so many years, he discovered that the person he had been working so hard to find was right in front of him. This made him shake his head with a bitter smile.It seemed as if his time over these past years had been wasted again! He picked up his sake cup, drained it, looked up at the sky, and said in a low voice: "Naruto, tell me about your experiences over these years, will you?"Regarding this, except for some of his own unspeakable matters, Naruto told Jiraiyaeverything that had happened over the years in detail.After hearing about his experiences, Jiraiya drank another cup of sake by himself and then said uncomprehendingly: "I really do not know what that old guy, my teacher, was thinking to do so many foolish things. Especially in how he treated you; no matter how you look at it, he should have taken good care of you. After all, your parents both died protecting the Village!"Naruto did not choose to continue speaking ill of the Third Hokage. All he needed was to plant a seed in Jiraiya's heart; after all, they were master and disciple, and they had deep feelings and bonds.If he said too much, it would look like he was trying to drive a wedge between them, which would be counterproductive. Moreover, as the Chunin Examsprogressed, his plan was being further carried out.If things went smoothly, the end of the line for both him and Danzo would be reached in a few days, so there was no need for him to do that at this moment.
