Recently, Jiraiya had been busy investigating the whereabouts of Orochimaru after his defection, and he had just returned to the village.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the village, he heard that Tsunade had a son, and after hearing this news, he felt like he was struck by lightning!
"How was this possible?"
Tsunade's lover had long gone, and this was something that Jiraiya knew, but he had died many years ago, where did Tsunade get a son?
Although Jiraiya felt that it was impossible for Tsunade to suddenly have a son, the villagers said so, which made him more suspicious.
Did she get into a relationship with someone else again?
Thinking of this, Jiraiya decided to ask Zhang Miao, the "culprit", to see if he could figure out the truth.
But what he didn't expect was that just as he opened his mouth and didn't ask anything, he was scolded by someone else's dog, and it even hurt him.
Did I offend you because I'm ugly? And no matter how ugly I am, I'm still better than the toads of Mount Myoboku, right?
"F*ck, how could there be such an annoying dog?"
And his master was also outrageous, his words were too infuriating!
Although Jiraiya wanted to fly into a rage, his target was a 5 or 6-year-old child. He couldn't vent his anger. Moreover, the matter was not clear yet, so he couldn't get angry.
Thinking of this, the corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched a few times, and he finally managed to hold back with a smile.
"Hehe... kid, do you know who I am?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Zhang Miao knew that he was going to reveal his name, but Zhang Miao didn't give him the chance.
"I don't want to. I have no interest in ugly people!"
Jiraiya: "... "
"Who's ugly? I'm very handsome, okay?"
Looking at Zhang Miao's expressionless face, Jiraiya decided not to keep him in suspense anymore. Instead, he put on a posture that he thought was the coolest.
"I am the legendary Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku, the great Jiraiya! Pleased to meet you!"
Originally, Jiraiya thought that after he revealed his name, he would immediately receive a look of awe from Zhang Miao, but the result disappointed him.
He saw that Zhang Miao was still expressionless. After his voice disappeared, he gently raised his drooping eyelids, revealing a pair of dead fish eyes.
"Oh, Uncle Toad!"
Jiraiya: "..."
"Toad... Uncle Toad? It's Toad Sage!"
Jiraiya really wanted to correct Zhang Miao's mistake, but in comparison, he felt that Tsunade was more important.
So he could only give Zhang Miao a smile that he thought was kind.
"Hey... hey, kid, are you really Tsunade's son?"
"Why are you asking this?" Hearing Jiraiya's words, Zhang Miao tilted his head and continued to look at him expressionlessly.
"Uh..."
Looking at Zhang Miao's numb expression, the corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched again. Then he said, "So what? Am I not worthy of her?"
"No, you are!" As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately nodded.
"You..."
Originally, because Zhang Miao would say that he was not worthy, he instinctively wanted to refute him. When the words reached his mouth, he reacted and immediately widened his eyes.
"What did you say? You said that I am worthy of her?"
"Yeah!" Seeing Jiraiya's surprised look, Zhang Miao immediately nodded his head, "I think you are worthy of her!"
Hearing Zhang Miao say this again, Jiraiya suddenly felt like he was about to fly. Just as he was about to praise Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's next words hit him at the bottom of the valley.
Although you are worthy of her,
But it's useless because she won't even look at you!
"Uh..." As soon as Zhang Miao said this, Jiraiya opened his eyes wide, "Why?"
"Because you are ugly, and you are not just ugly, but really ugly. Do you think that Princess Tsunade will like an ugly man?"
Jiraiya: "... "
"That makes sense. I am speechless... What the hell? Although I admit that I am a little perverted, how am I ugly?"
This was the only thing he couldn't back down!
Just as Jiraiya was about to correct Zhang Miao's opinion, he found that there was no one in front of him. He turned around and found that Zhang Miao had already left with the dog.
Seeing this scene, Jiraiya quickly shouted.
"Wait for me...!"
With that, he strode forward with his foot in wooden clogs and chased after Zhang Miao.
Although Jiraiya kept on beating around the bush along the way, Zhang Miao was like a reef on the beach. No matter how persistent Jiraiya was, he still stood firm, making him unable to withdraw.
When the two walked to the door of the Yakiniku Q, Jiraiya suddenly had an idea and smiled at Zhang Miao.
"Haha, little brat, do you want to eat barbecue? As long as you tell me who your father is, I will treat you to a barbecue! How about it?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Zhang Miao couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"No need, I'll treat you. I'm a regular here!"
After saying that, Zhang Miao directly walked in. Seeing this scene, Jiraiya was a bit stunned.
In Jiraiya's impression, Yakiniku Q was a high-class establishment in Konoha. Generally, a Genin couldn't come here a few times a month. Even a Jonin had to be careful. After all, high-reward tasks were not always available.
"Is this kid very rich? Or the place had lowered its prices? No, I have to go in and take a look!" Thinking of this, Jiraiya quickly followed in.
As soon as he entered, he saw the diners inside greeting Zhang Miao.
"Look, Ryunosuke is here!"
"Little Ryunosuke, how many dishes are you going to eat today?"
"Haha, I'm sure Ryunosuke-sama will eat more than yesterday!"
Ryunosuke...sama?
Hearing everyone's words, Jiraiya was stunned. It wasn't until Zhang Miao asked the lady boss to serve the barbecue that he reacted.
"Is this kid not lying? Does he really come here every day?"
As soon as Jiraiya thought of this, he heard Zhang Miao's voice coming from the front.
"Hey, Uncle Toad, come, come, sit here!"
Jiraiya: "... "
"It's not Uncle Toad, I'm the Toad Sage!"
However, with the delicious food in front of him, he felt that he should eat his fill first. After all, he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya walked over to Zhang Miao and sat down. Looking at the table full of meats, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, although this kid has a bad mouth, he has a good heart. He must be worried that I didn't eat enough and ordered so much food. Later, after asking about Tsunade, I can teach him some of my moves!"
Jiraiya's idea was good, but soon he knew that he was wrong. When he saw Zhang Miao's appetite, he was dumbfounded.
The chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.
"Is this kid's esophagus connected to the intestines of the big toad?"
