Chapter 151 Mission Selection
Accompanied by an awkward opening, a white-haired man danced embarrassingly in the center of the solemn tent, singing and dancing, finally freezing in a bizarre pose that made one's toes twitch.
Inside the large tent, an eerie silence fell once again.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the white-haired man in the center of the crowd.
There was surprise, and there was delight.
"Lord Jiraiya!"
"Jiraiya-sama! It really is you!"
"Very good!"
"We're saved!"
Amidst the surprised exclamations, Jiraiya flashed what he considered a very charming smile.
Tsunade, finally snapping out of her daze, asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiraiya maintained his pose, gently running one hand up his temple, and slowly raised his head to show his confident face to every ninja present.
"Of course I sensed that I was needed here. As one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, a remarkable man in the ninja world, how could I not—" His voice trailed off.
Because a blinding light appeared in front of them.
His movements froze on the spot, his gaze fixed on the Divine Moon Nebula behind the crowd.
"So handsome!"
This person's looks are enough to pose a certain threat to me!
In an instant, such a thought flashed through Jiraiya's mind. Looking at Shingetsu Seiun, who stood quietly in the crowd, he felt that even the light inside the tent was dazzling.
He spoke first: "Tsunade, and who is this?"
Tsunade introduced him: "A Jonin from the Shingetsu Clan, from the Nebula Realm."
"A Jonin?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Such a young Jonin?"
Tsunade said, "I'm a Special Jonin now."
"However, in terms of strength, he is undoubtedly at the level of a Jonin. Jonin Nebula's swordsmanship is excellent."
Tsunade spoke in a tone of praise for her junior, but Jiraiya found it somewhat unpleasant.
Extremely excellent?
How outstanding could he be? More outstanding than that handsome, dashing, and spirited toad immortal?
"Your name is Shingetsu Nebula, right?"
Shingetsu Seiun smiled politely: "Yes, Lord Jiraiya."
Jiraiya nodded smugly.
He had actually heard of Shingetsu Seiun years ago when he was in Konoha.
At the time, it was just rumors circulating among the villagers that there was a boy in the village who was more beautiful than a fairy, and even more beautiful than a girl.
At the time, he thought it was just idle chatter from noisy women. What handsome boy? They just hadn't seen the majestic and perfect Jiraiya-sama.
Only after seeing it in person today did Jiraiya realize that the rumors weren't so outrageous after all.
This kid is really good-looking; he's just as good-looking as him.
Suppressing his sense of crisis, Jiraiya nodded: "Work hard, strive to achieve some merit, and become a true Jonin as soon as possible."
Shingetsu Seiun nodded: "I will do my best, Jiraiya-sama."
Tsunade interjected, "You still haven't told me, why did you suddenly come here? Did the Third Hokage send you?"
Jiraiya then turned around, looked at Tsunade, and replied, "Yes."
"Three generations were worried about you here, so they asked me to come and check on you when I had some free time."
Tsunade looked worried: "Shouldn't you be on the northern front?"
"The Hidden Cloud Village is not easy to deal with. Are you sure there won't be any problems if you come here now?"
"Relax~" Jiraiya waved his hand and said, "Kumakuna just went through a big battle with us, and they won't recover so quickly."
"Moreover, Minato has been performing exceptionally well lately. With him around, I feel confident enough to sneak out for a while."
"Sneakily?" Tsunade frowned. "What if Kumogakure discovers it? Wouldn't the northern front be in danger?"
Jiraiya laughed and said, "That's why time is limited."
"I can only help you once. After that, I must rush back to the northern front."
"By the way, what were you all saying while you were standing there?"
Hearing Jiraiya's question, Tsunade remembered the problem that had been troubling her before.
She then told Jiraiya about the predicament Konoha was facing and the plan that Shingetsu Seiun had just proposed.
Upon hearing about the plan to "give away swimsuits," Jiraiya's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Shingetsu Seiun behind the crowd.
His gaze held surprise, but also a hint of relaxation.
It turned out he was a sleazy young man.
That's all!
Tsunade doesn't like that kind of guy. She prefers guys who look clean-cut and innocent, not like this.
He said, "That's right!"
"I think this little Nebula Jonin's plan is pretty good."
"Let's do it this way!"
Tsunade hesitated, "Even if we do that, Chiyo might not necessarily accept the challenge."
"I think it's fine." Jiraiya waved his hand. "I'll take care of preparing the swimsuit for Chiyo."
'
"You decide who will challenge us."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's gaze instinctively drifted towards Shingetsu Nebula.
The other party is the most suitable candidate.
I was worried that Chiyo might be in danger if I lured her out, but now that Jiraiya is here, that danger is gone.
"Nebula Jonin"
Amidst the crowd, Shenyue Xingyun sighed inwardly.
He had a premonition when Tsunade looked at him.
That's just how work is.
You propose it, you're responsible for implementing it. This was his experience as a beast of burden in his past life; he never imagined it would be the same in the ninja world.
"Lady Tsunade, please speak."
Tsunade said, "I'm planning to assign you the task of challenging them. What do you think?"
What do I think? If you don't let me go, I plan to watch from the back.
Shenyue Xingyun said, "Okay."
Tsunade then added, "I won't let you go alone."
"I will arrange for a Jonin from the Hyuga clan to accompany you."
With the assistance of Hyuga ninjas, it is possible to ensure that the enemy can reach the Sunagakure camp smoothly, and that there will be no large-scale ambush by Sunagakure when challenging them, thus maximizing their own safety.
As Tsunade spoke, her gaze fell upon the Hyuga clan's Jonin in the arena.
As the head of the main family, Hiashi Hyuga cannot easily go to the battlefield, so the candidate is a Jonin from the branch family.
As she looked over, several lower-ranking ninja from the branch families quickly looked away.
It's not that they're avoiding war, it's just that the task of delivering swimsuits sounds shameful.
If he were to accept this mission, for many years to come, the heroic deeds of delivering the swimsuit to Chiyo would be passed down among his clansmen and even the villagers.
So everyone acted as if they were being questioned by a teacher, wishing they could just disappear.
Seeing this, Tsunade was also somewhat troubled. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Shingetsu Seiun.
"If you have someone in mind, you can bring it up."
Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun's heart stirred.
Then, his gaze fell on a Hinata ninja.
Hyuga Hizashi!
The other party had told him that he could ask for his help if he needed anything. He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
He smiled and said, "Brother Hitsashi."
"Thank you for coming with me on this mission."
