"I am at least confident in drinking. Let's have a good drink today!" Jiraiya said confidently.
"We don't have to make this a competition, you know." Nagasawa kindly reminded.
The characters of Naruto Universe didn't even come close to the characters of One Piece Universe when it came to drinking.
And even in the One Piece Universe, Whitebeard was the one of the people who absolutely loved drinking, so just imagine his alcohol tolerance.
If Jiraiya actually challenged Nagasawa to a drinking competition, he would blose for sure. This was the first time they met, and Nagasawa didn't want to humiliate Jiraiya.
However, it was clear that Jiraiya was confident enough in himself. He did not think that she would lose to a young man like Nagasawa in terms of alcohol tolerance.
"Hahaha, it's alright, isn't it? It's rare occasion. It's a waste if we don't drink." Jiraiya laughed.
The waiter had already poured the wine for them. Shizune was still underage, so she did not drink.
Tsunade took a sip, and then said with a happy face, "I won't be joining you guys, I can't find Shikkotsu Forest if I'm hammered tomorrow."
"Shall we?" Jiraiya raised his cup and looked at Nagasawa.
Seeing that Jiraiya was so enthusiastic, Nagasawa had no choice but to join him.
Jiraiya drank it in one go, then put the cup on the table and said with a smile:
"Although I didn't participate in the war, I have heard that you defeated Kumogakure so quickly and shocked the other countries. It is really amazing."
Jiraiya actually planned to join the war. Everyone believed that Konoha was in bad shape after Nine-Tails' attack, and Jiraiya was no exception, so he planned to return to Konoha.
However, the war ended too quickly. He heard that Kumogakure was defeated before he could return to Konoha, which was quite funny.
"I also heard from Minato that the battle ended so quickly, and most of the credit is on you."
"It's an exaggeration. Our victory is the result of everyone's hard work. As long as we are united, no one can defeat us." Nagasawa smiled modestly.
Since Konoha's Prosperity increased, he became strong, so what he said technically wasn't a lie.
Shizune, who was standing next to them, took up the job of pouring wine for Nagasawa and Jiraiya.
"Hahaha, you really are Minato's childhood friend. That modest part of yours is really similar to his." Jiraiya picked up the cup again and drank it in one go.
"You're the amazing one, Lord Jiraiya. You went around the world to gather important information for Konoha. It's something that I can't do." Nagasawa praised Jiraiya back.
The two chatted while drinking, and time passed quickly. Eventually, Jiraiya's face gradually became rosy.
Jiraiya talked quite a lot. He talked about how lucky he was to reach Mount Myoboku despite being young and ignorant. He also talked about some things he had seen on his journey and his opinion of war.
And of course, he'd tell Nagasawa about their training when they were young.
However, he was getting drunk, so it was inevitable that he would subconsciously exaggerate things a little, and Tsunade would mocked him every chance she got.
Right when Jiraiya said that he had passed Sarutobi Hiruzen's training, Tsunade smiled and said,
"Jiraiya, you must be drunk. At that time, only Orochimaru and I got the bell. You were tied to a log."
Jiraiya's already ruddy face instantly became even more rosy, and he immediately retorted,
"Nagasawa, you may not know. Although Tsunade looks very curvy now, she was as flat as a washboard when she was a kid."
Nagasawa drank silently and did not answer Jiraiya's words. Jiraiya was drunk so he kept rambling, but he was not.
Tsunade raised her eyebrows as Jiraiya made fun of her in front of Nagasawa.
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade clenched her fists, and the Chakra on her body burst out, and the strong aura blew the coat on her body.
Jiraiya decisively pretended to be dizzy, and then he stood up with a blank face and asked Tsunade, "I feel a little dizzy. What happened just now?"
Tsunade sneered and said, "Jiraiya, take a guess! Which one will I use to punch you? My left hand or my right hand?"
"Can you not punch me? We have not seen each other for so long." Jiraiya said with a heavy tone.
Tsunade's punch was no joke. He was almost beaten to death by Tsunade when he peeped into the female bathhouse.
Thankfully for him, he didn't slack off on his Taijutsu training. Otherwise, he wouldn't survive.
"So, are you full?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
"I haven't tried the food yet. I have only been been drinking," Jiraiya said honestly.
"That's good. Since you haven't eaten, eat my punch." Tsunade punched fiercely, and the powerful air wave directly sent all the debris in the room flying.
Jiraiya was also sent flying by this punch. Fortunately, Nagasawa caught him quickly. Otherwise, he would have been sent flying into another room.
"Thank you." Jiraiya, who was caught by Nagasawa, thanked him.
Lord Jiraiya, are you alright?" Nagasawa asked with concern.
Jiraiya limped back to his seat and said, "It's not a big problem. I may have broken two ribs."
This was indeed no problem compared to the when he nearly died last time.
Nagasawa used his Medical Ninjutsu to treat Jiraiya briefly, and the two of them continued drinking.
Jiraiya's face became redder and redder, and his vision was getting a little blurry. So, he went to talk to Tsunade again. He clearly hadn't learned his lesson.
"When I saw your disappointed face that day, I thought that you might never return to Konoha. I didn't expect that not only did you go back, but you also began to make medical reforms." The drunk Jiraiya stuttered.
"You bastard." Hearing Jiraiya mention these things again, Tsunade was about to punch Jiraiya again.
Don't you know that this will remind her of her brother who died tragically in the war?
But looking at Jiraiya's erratic eyes and silly face at her, Tsunade snorted. She crossed her arms and said,
"You're boasting about how much you can drink, but that boy clearly outdrinks you. It's really embarrassing to be lumped up as Sannin with a person like him."
After Jiraiya finished speaking, he directly lay on the table.
Nagasawa's expression remained unchanged. Moreover, instead of using the small cup, he drank straight from the bottle.
Hadn't he been mindful of Jiraiya's feelings, Nagasawa would have drunk from the bottle right away. The cup was too small, and Nagasawa really could not get used to it.
"Lord Tsunade, shall we have a drink, too?" Nagasawa invited Tsunade.
"If I drink one cup, you have to drink one bottle."
Tsunade wanted to refuse, but she couldn't. She completely underestimated her. Nagasawa had drunk so much and still had the audacity to challenge her.
"Alright, I'll drink one cup and you drink half a bottle." Tsunade decided to have Nagasawa drink half a bottle each time she finished a cup.
Nagasawa nodded.
Two hours later, there was another person lying on the floor.
