Jiraiya was looking at Kamishiro with increasing approval, feeling as if he had met a kindred spirit.
However, the fact that this kindred spirit was a ten - year - old kid made Jiraiya feel a bit strange.
Meanwhile, Obito was standing there with his arms crossed and his cheeks puffed out, looking extremely angry.
Kamishiro is so double - standard and shameless.
Why did he agree to Jiraiya's request but not his?
He, Obito Uchiha, is also a Konoha ninja, a ninja who is contributing to Konoha!
When he's in a good mood, he can do things more efficiently and contribute more to Konoha!
Originally, Obito planned to ask Kamishiro to make a life - sized puppet of Rin Nohara for him. It would be so wonderful to hold it and sleep at night!
But now...
Obito let out a loud "humph" in anger!
"Okay, so these are your requirements regarding the figure, Lord Jiraiya. What about the face? Do you have any ideas?"
Kamishiro was now discussing with Jiraiya. Jiraiya began to talk about his needs, and Kamishiro wrote them all down.
When Kamishiro asked about his thoughts on the face, a super - pretty face with a diamond - shaped mark on the forehead appeared in Jiraiya's mind.
Jiraiya's face suddenly flushed.
Kamishiro noticed Jiraiya's slightly red face and understood exactly what was going on.
The person Jiraiya was thinking of in his mind must be Tsunade, also known as one of the Sannin.
Kamishiro grinned slyly: "It seems that Lord Jiraiya has a standard in mind. So, what kind of face is it?"
Jiraiya wanted to describe it but was at a loss for words.
After thinking for a while, Jiraiya said, "Well, I'll take you to meet her later. But you mustn't let the cat out of the bag. That woman has a bad temper. If she finds out, I don't know what terrible things will happen."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Kamishiro swallowed hard. Tsunade had a bad temper, and if she found out, he'd surely get a good beating, maybe even risk his life.
Kamishiro suggested to Jiraiya, "Lord Jiraiya, I think you could just give a rough description. I'll make it look somewhat similar. That way, if it's discovered later, you can still try to make an excuse."
Jiraiya frowned: "You make a good point, but I don't know how to describe it. So, I'd better take you to meet her. Just make it look similar to her."
Kamishiro nodded. As long as he wasn't involved when something went wrong, it was okay.
Suddenly, Jiraiya slapped the table hard: "Damn it! I forgot the main thing!"
Both Kamishiro and Obito were startled and asked in unison, "What main thing?"
Jiraiya said to Obito, "Obito, go and call Kakashi and Rin over. I came here to give you guys a mission this time. Unexpectedly, I got so caught up in chatting with Kamishiro that I forgot about it."
As soon as Obito heard about the mission, he immediately left the tent excitedly to look for Kakashi and Rin Nohara.
Currently, Obito is the kind of person who is not very good at The Battle but loves to get involved in battles. His strength is quite weak, but he really hopes to carry out missions, especially those involving The Battle.
Kamishiro looked at Jiraiya and rolled his eyes.
It seemed that he got along quite well with Jiraiya. They had just had such a great chat. Well... since he had already promised to make a Puppet for Jiraiya, if he put forward a small request, there was no reason for Jiraiya to refuse him, right?
A flattering smile appeared on Kamishiro's face. "Lord Jiraiya, I know an extremely exquisite massage technique. Would you like to give it a try?"
Jiraiya said in surprise, "Oh? You know this skill?"
Kamishiro rubbed his hands and said, "Yeah, I don't have any talent for The Battle. Having more skills never hurts."
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and agreed with a smile. "Well then, let me try your massage technique."
Kamishiro started to 'professionally' massage Jiraiya's shoulders.
However, as soon as Kamishiro started, Jiraiya could tell that Kamishiro didn't have any massage skills at all. He was just using brute force to knead the flesh on his shoulders.
It was far from professional.
After all, Jiraiya had probably been to more brothels (a place for entertainment in Japanese culture) than Kamishiro had had meals.
When the girls in the brothels massaged him, that was really a pleasure.
As for Kamishiro... Let's not even talk about it. It was already good enough that Jiraiya didn't ask him for compensation.
As Jiraiya guessed, Kamishiro should be asking him for something next.
And based on Minato Namikaze's description of Kamishiro, Jiraiya could guess a bit what Kamishiro wanted to ask him for.
Kamishiro said with a big smile on his face, "Lord Jiraiya, is it comfortable?"
Jiraiya didn't answer Kamishiro's question about whether it was comfortable or not. Instead, he asked, "Kamishiro, you must want to tell me something, right?"
Kamishiro flattered him. "Sure enough, you're the wise and powerful Lord Jiraiya with sharp eyes! There really is a small thing I want to discuss with you, Lord Jiraiya.
Anyway, I can't really help with Kakashi's mission. I think I should stay and help Lord Jiraiya finish making the Puppet. What do you think?"
A faint smile appeared on Jiraiya's lips. He guessed right as expected.
Just as Jiraiya was about to answer, Obito had already brought Kakashi and Rin Nohara into the tent.
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara were all stunned for a moment when they saw Kamishiro massaging Jiraiya.
Obito glared at Kamishiro with gritted teeth. He's such a sycophant! He despised him!
Kakashi recalled that previously, Kamishiro didn't want to go on missions with them and wished to handle logistics. He even said that he could give massages.
It seems that Kamishiro still hasn't given up on this idea. He wants to butter up to Jiraiya and stay here as a logistics worker.
However, how did Kamishiro and Jiraiya seem to have such a good relationship? Clearly, when they first arrived at Konoha's camp, it was the first time for Kamishiro to meet Jiraiya.
Kakashi ignored Kamishiro and asked Jiraiya, "Lord Jiraiya, what kind of mission are we going to perform next?"
Jiraiya first briefed them on the mission. "This time your mission is an investigation mission. According to the intelligence, 15 kilometers southwest of here, the Cloud Ninjas have secretly deployed some ninjas. Your mission is to verify the authenticity of this intelligence.
If the Cloud Ninjas have really secretly deployed some ninjas there, it will be a great threat to our Konoha's camp. We must immediately eliminate the Cloud Ninjas' secret encampment."
Kakashi nodded seriously and said, "I understand, Lord Jiraiya. Then we'll set off right away. Obito, Rin, Kamishiro, let's go!"
Kamishiro looked at Jiraiya with a pleading look in his eyes.
Jiraiya cleared his throat and then said, "Kamishiro, the mission takes precedence. You can make the Puppet anytime after you've completed the mission successfully. You're a member of Minato's team now, and I have no way to interfere. Well then, I'll leave first."
Jiraiya directly used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the spot. Kamishiro was completely stunned.
He really just took a free ride! He didn't offer any help at all!
All that massage work was for nothing. Damn it!
