Xin wiped away the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Tsunade, arms crossed, casually explained, "He said he was dying and needed a farewell kiss from me. I figured the poison must have messed with his nerves, so I arranged for this special, anesthesia-free surgery to stimulate his nervous system and help with detoxification."
"..." Xin
He's really asking for it!
"No, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Jiraiya sobbed, whether from fear or genuine regret.
Ignoring him, Tsunade nodded to the two conflicted medical ninjas, signaling them to proceed with the surgery. They both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsunade might play around, but they couldn't afford to. If something happened to Jiraiya, they'd be in big trouble.
"Is this her?"
As they stepped outside, Tsunade glanced at the timid Uzumaki Nami.
"She's definitely an Uzumaki. Let her rest for a couple of days. Once Jiraiya's condition improves, I'll take both of you back to the village. I have some matters to discuss with the old man anyway."
The recent behavior of the Hidden Rain was getting stranger, and after discussing it with Orochimaru, Tsunade concluded that the Hidden Rain might be close to collapsing.
It might be time to negotiate peace, even if it meant making some concessions. However, when Tsunade tried to discuss this with Danzo, they ran into problems.
Danzo didn't agree that it was time to negotiate.
He believed that until the war was over, any peace talks would be irrational.
Tsunade realized that Danzo was simply trying to rack up more accomplishments.
Seeing that reasoning with him was pointless, she decided to return to the Leaf Village herself to handle the situation.
"What about Nawaki and Minato?" Xin asked.
"Let them stay here. Jiraiya can train them for a while," Tsunade replied.
Jiraiya needed time to recover before he could return to the battlefield. In the meantime, he could train his students, including Nawaki.
Despite his pervy tendencies, Jiraiya was reliable in most other areas. Tsunade felt confident leaving Nawaki in his care.
Besides, Minato was already Jiraiya's student. As his teacher, Jiraiya hadn't had much time to properly train him, which was a bit unfair. Now was the perfect opportunity to rectify that.
"Alright,"
Xin agreed. It would be good for Nawaki and Minato to learn from Jiraiya for a while. Jiraiya was much better at teaching students than Tsunade or Orochimaru.
"Come with me,"
Tsunade said to Nami. "My grandmother was also an Uzumaki. I mean you no harm. You don't have an official status right now, so it might cause you some trouble if you don't stick with me."
Tsunade then led Uzumaki Nami away.
