Having gotten rid of Jiraiya, Yato began conversing with Orochimaru.
Seeing Yato enter alone, Orochimaru showed no surprise and said calmly:
"I imagine Yato-kun must have acquired many good things during this trip to Sunagakure."
Orochimaru knew full well that Yato was the type who would act like a dog if he wasn't being human.
So it was better to speak frankly rather than beat around the bush. Otherwise, once caught in Yato's rhythm, Orochimaru would inevitably have to pay some price.
Yato said: "Snake Uncle, must you be so cold?"
"We're so close, can't you be a little more friendly sometimes? Don't be so stingy."Hearing Uchiha Yato's words, Orochimaru realized that Yato must have set his sights on something in his possession. After pondering carefully for a moment, it suddenly occurred to him.
"The progress with Wood Release has been somewhat made, though the results aren't ideal. At the very least, ordinary people shouldn't possess the ability to master it."
Hearing Orochimaru was about to discuss something important, Uchiha Yato also grew interested.
Uchiha Yato said, "In that case, let's move somewhere else to talk."
"Since you've already prepared the data and everything, I'll take a look as well."
This suggestion was accepted by Orochimaru. Regardless of anything else, Uchiha Yato's analytical and organizational skills were something Orochimaru acknowledged.
Just as they spent half an hour cleaning up and organizing, about to begin their discussion, Jiraiya came rushing in, flustered and out of breath.
The moment he entered, he glared furiously at Uchiha Yato and shouted,
"You damn bastard! I knew you weren't this generous for no reason!"
Let's rewind half an hour earlier.
Jiraiya had excitedly taken the video tape Uchiha Yato gave him and dashed home at full speed.
He planned to study it and use it as inspiration for his upcoming book.
Jiraiya was a man of action—no delays. The first thing he did after getting home was take a shower.
Though we may not fully understand why, we'll respect his process.
After completing his usual routine, he settled into his room and played the tape Uchiha Yato had given him.
The opening was accompanied by passionate music, which only heightened Jiraiya's excitement.
He muttered to himself, "Uchiha Yato's not bad, huh? Even set the mood like this."
The first scene that appeared was the changing room of a Sunagakure beach volleyball match.
The steamy, hazy atmosphere instantly broadened Jiraiya's imagination.
Nodding repeatedly, he kept muttering to himself,
"I've got ideas! I've got ideas!"
But for some reason, everything else was blurry, slowly focusing on a single figure.
Jiraiya assumed Uchiha Yato had done this intentionally—to highlight the subject and enhance the artistic appeal.
So, at this moment, Jiraiya was all nerves and trembling hands.
Just as his excitement peaked, the image suddenly became crystal clear.
And the beautiful figure, who had been facing away, turned around.
But what greeted him wasn't what he expected—it was Chiyo's face.
Uchiha Yato hadn't been that cruel—he'd pixelated the rest of the body, which was why Jiraiya couldn't make out the details earlier.
But that wasn't the point anymore. Jiraiya was fuming.
He'd already taken his pants off, and this was what he got?
Thinking about Uchiha Yato's personality...
If he confronted him without solid proof, Uchiha Yato could easily claim the beginning was just a test and the real material was later—wouldn't that be a total loss?
So, suppressing his discomfort, Jiraiya forced himself to keep watching.
By the end, Jiraiya could only declare,
"If I ever trust Uchiha Yato again, I'm a damn dog!"
Aside from the first two minutes, which had some suggestive content,
everything afterward left Jiraiya mentally and physically exhausted.
And that bastard Uchiha Yato had the audacity to smirk, as if he'd predicted Jiraiya's reaction all along.This was what made Jiraiya so angry that he immediately put on his pants and went to settle the score with Uchiha Yato.
Now, back to the present.
Jiraiya angrily grabbed Uchiha Yato by the collar and demanded,
"I treat you like a brother, and this is how you repay me?"
"If you don't give me a proper explanation today, I'll beat you into—"
Hearing Jiraiya's grievances, Uchiha Yato replied,
"See, this is exactly why you're being too shallow and petty. Don't think like that."
"Calm down first. There's no hurdle that can't be overcome."
At Uchiha Yato's words, Jiraiya obediently cooled down a bit, no longer as impulsive as before.
Of course, if Uchiha Yato couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, Jiraiya wouldn't mind learning a trick or two from him—like a sudden change of expression.
Once he saw Jiraiya's mood stabilize, Uchiha Yato continued,
"See, you're too impatient. What I gave you earlier was just a trial version."
"This is the real deal."
As he spoke, Uchiha Yato pulled out another videotape.
Seeing Uchiha Yato's expression, Orochimaru and Jiraiya had very different thoughts.
Orochimaru thought to himself: If he falls for it again, then Jiraiya only has himself to blame.
Surely he wouldn't be foolish enough to get tricked twice, right?
Jiraiya, on the other hand, thought: Uchiha Yato really is my best bro. He thinks of everything. I'll definitely have to show him my masterpiece later.
Uchiha Yato had no idea what they were thinking. If he had known, he would've told Orochimaru just one thing:
You read him like a book!
Then, in the blink of an eye, Jiraiya snatched the videotape from Uchiha Yato's hand.
This time, the title on the tape was different:
"Sunagakure Hotties: The Plus Edition!"
Though Jiraiya didn't understand what "plus" meant, he felt an inexplicable sense of prestige radiating from it.
Uchiha Yato preferred to describe this phenomenon with another term:
Horny brain syndrome!
The scene left Orochimaru at a loss for words.
Once again, Jiraiya vanished from the lab at lightning speed.
But Uchiha Yato wasn't done yet.
He had his Summoning Beast, Tom, deliver a message to Tsunade.
At this point, Orochimaru knew there was a 90% chance Jiraiya wouldn't be returning anytime soon.
Things unfolded just as Orochimaru predicted.
The moment Jiraiya got back, he prepared all his equipment and settled in to watch.
Meanwhile, at the Senju Clan Grounds...
Tsunade and Uzumaki Kushina were chatting and laughing when a blue cat suddenly appeared, handed Tsunade a note, and vanished in a puff of smoke.
Tsunade, recognizing the odd feline as Uchiha Yato's Summoning Beast, unfolded the note.
The message was simple:
"Big sis Tsunade, Jiraiya's at home doing something naughty. Don't you think you should stop him?"
Tsunade knew full well that Uchiha Yato was deliberately provoking her, but she was also curious about what Jiraiya could possibly be up to.
And so, under this beautiful misunderstanding, Tsunade arrived at Jiraiya's place—just in time to witness exactly what he was doing.
Perfect. Everything had fallen neatly into place.Jiraiya was heard speaking to Tsunade.
"Tsunade, listen to me..."
