Jiraiya's expression changed slightly after hearing the plan; the amount of information was enormous. He couldn't help but speak anxiously.
"What did you just say? What does that mean?"
Shiro looked at the other party's confused expression and suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to have been outside Konoha Village, searching for some Child of Prophecy. Then he gave the other party a small portion of memory.
Jiraiya received the memories in his mind and felt the malice of those people: "Damn demon fox, scourge, get lost!", throwing stones at a three-year-old child.
All kinds of insults, without any trace of the treatment that the Son of the Hero should receive.
Jiraiya's face turned pale at this moment.
"How is that possible? How can that be? Why would Old Man do that?"
Jiraiya's monologue was full of disbelief; after all, such a thing was too shocking and unbelievable.
"Isn't it obvious? After all, only by making everyone hate him, and then appearing as a savior to become a ray of light in his heart, wouldn't this foolish guy completely trust you and become a weapon in your hands?"
"Thousands of ninjas from the Sarutobi clan explain everything."
"No way? No way? Don't tell me you don't know what that means."
Faced with this mockery, Jiraiya opened his mouth several times, but remained speechless. He truly had nothing to say, nor any way to defend himself.
"So, do you think I should thank you?"
After learning this truth, Jiraiya was completely speechless.
Jiraiya lowered his head and stayed silent for a while, knowing that what had happened could not be changed. Then he remembered something else.
"Why did you move the battlefield to Mount Myōboku? That place is a pure land, but now you've destroyed it."
Jiraiya gathered his courage to ask the question, and Tsunade, hearing this, realized something was wrong. This guy was courting death; he really no longer considered himself human, but a frog.
Shiro wanted to laugh when he heard this. They call you Toad Sage, and you really think you're a frog?
Shiro, hearing this, crossed his arms over his chest and spoke with a smile.
"If I don't fight there, should I fight in a populated area? Compared to a bunch of animals dying versus people, I would rather all those animals die than even a single person. After all, humans have reason; in my eyes, they are just animals. If they die, they die. Or are you saying, Jiraiya, that in your eyes, the lives of those animals are nobler than human lives?"
As soon as Shiro said this, although his voice was not loud, the surrounding ninjas all heard it, and their gazes toward the other party changed. Indeed, by moving the battlefield there, frogs died, a bunch of animals, not people. In the eyes of Lord Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, should people die instead of animals?
Jiraiya was speechless for a moment after hearing this, then he felt the gazes around him. He tried to explain himself.
"Don't even think about telling me to change locations or something like that. If that place is suitable, why wouldn't I choose it? In any case, they are just animals, why should I care so much? If there is a suitable, ready-made place, I will definitely use it. Remember, I am human, and you are human. Don't really think of yourself as a frog."
Shiro never expected that the other party would question him because of those frogs. Seriously, this guy really doesn't want to be human, right? If so, he wouldn't mind helping him.
After Shiro finished speaking, he turned toward Tsunade and spoke.
"I'll wait for you at the Senju place, and also, tell Shizune to help me tidy up the house."
After saying that, Shiro turned and left, giving orders without the slightest restraint.
Tsunade really wanted to retort after hearing this: "I'm not your maid!" This guy really doesn't hold back when ordering others around.
Although she was very annoyed, she still called Shizune, who had just come of age. The young girl directly led Shiro to the family house and immediately began to help clean, but then Shiro said: "Restore cleanliness," and all the dust and dirt disappeared.
Shizune was completely stunned after seeing this scene, her mouth wide open. Then she mechanically turned her head to look at Shiro in front of her, speaking in a tone of uncertain surprise, or perhaps confusion.
"Lord Shiro, why did you call me? Can't you do all this yourself?"
She didn't understand, she truly didn't understand. Shizune really didn't understand why the other party, who could do everything himself, would call her.
Shiro found a comfortable place to sit, then spoke like some great master.
"Cleaning dust and such things, I can do myself. But think about food, drink, making tea, washing clothes, arranging bedding, warming the bed — I can't possibly do all that myself, right?"
As soon as Shiro said this, Shizune immediately understood his intention. It was simply about daily life; she was familiar with it, as she usually took care of Tsunade in that way.
However, she quickly realized: "Wait, wasn't there something wrong with what he just said?"
"Lord... Lord Shiro, I have no problem taking care of your daily life, but warming the bed is a bit too much..."
Shizune was speechless for a moment; after all, such a thing was too much.
Shiro thought: "Oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking," but it didn't matter.
"What's so big about it? It's just warming the bed, right? And after that there are many benefits, such as eternal youth, immense strength, and so on. Don't you want them?"
At this moment, Shiro was like a demon tempting the other party to fall. Unfortunately, this young girl, who had always been by Tsunade's side and taken care of her daily life, was a bit flustered at this moment. She quickly stood up, not daring to look at Shiro in front of her, because just now, his ordinary face used such temptation to lure her.
That special aura of his almost made her nod...
"Lord... Lord Shiro, I'll go make you tea and tidy the room first."
After saying that, the other party ran away like a frightened little rabbit.
Shiro didn't care that the other party ran away. In any case, he could control her sooner or later, so why worry about this little time? Give him two days, and Tsunade would probably be busy and wouldn't have time to interfere during this period.
However, after she finished her work and returned, she would probably explode. After all, this scene was quite strong; it would be a lie to say she wouldn't explode.
But it didn't matter; she could simply be part of the dowry. After all, he was a good person and didn't want the two of them to be separated.
As expected, the other party did not return until evening, but Senju Nawaki did.
Shiro was somewhat surprised; did the other party dare to send people back, not afraid that he would bully them?
After Shiro talked with the other party for a while, he understood why Tsunade dared to send people back. It turned out that she trusted his character when it came to her people. It had to be said, her trust was truly impeccable.
Senju Nawaki suddenly asked a question at this moment.
"Big brother, are you my brother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Shiro gave him a thumbs up.
"I have to say, kid, you have good taste and a bright future. Indeed, I am your brother-in-law."
Shiro thought this guy had good taste and a bright future, which was quite good. Their conversation improved, until after they ate and drank their fill in the evening, the other party went to sleep while Shiro stayed in the living room.
At the moment, Shiro was playing the role of a schemer, communicating with some people at a distance. After all, it wasn't possible to come here, catch two fish, and leave. If he was going to fish, he might as well catch many more, otherwise the trip wouldn't be worth it. As for other matters, he would settle accounts after returning.
It was already late at night, and Tsunade had still not returned. She would probably be busy for a few days. After all, among the village elders, only she and Jiraiya had authority. But Jiraiya was unreliable, so only she could keep things under control.
At that moment, Shizune walked in and respectfully addressed Shiro.
"Lord Shiro, the room for your rest has been prepared."
Shiro stood up at this moment and signaled for her to lead the way. The other party had no other thoughts and simply obediently led him.
