Chapter 116
"Hey, hey, hey! If you keep looking at me like that, I'll really start to feel narcissistic." Haruto Saito lowered his voice. The last time Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at him this way was when they had confirmed that his "divination" actually worked.
"So... this is the hypnotism technique you learned from him?" Jiraiya tilted his head slightly and glanced at Tsunade.
Tsunade nodded but added, "Only a part of it."
She was already glaring at Haruto because he hadn't taught her the part about controlling people and making them answer questions. He had only taught her how to put people to sleep. The problem was, she hadn't even mastered that part yet!
Now, Tsunade was starting to suspect that Haruto hadn't been seriously teaching her at all!
"Such an unbelievable technique... never heard of it before... it's just..." Jiraiya was in awe, his heart shaken. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. This completely shattered the conventional understanding of a ninja's abilities!
"Yeah! Unheard of! And a certain brat didn't even bother to mention it before." Tsunade muttered through gritted teeth.
Haruto raised a middle finger at her. He had actually mentioned it before, but Tsunade just didn't remember. He lowered his hand and said, "Hey! Any more questions? If not, we can kill him now!"
"Orochimaru is leading the squad. Given his personality, if he can't find us quickly, he'll likely initiate a battle with the Rain Ninja to draw their attention to himself. That way, we'll have a better chance to escape. So we need to find Orochimaru as soon as possible!" Tsunade said firmly.
"Agreed!" Jiraiya nodded. "Once we regroup with Orochimaru, the three of us together—along with the elite ninja under him—will have a real shot at fighting our way out. As long as we don't run into the full force of the Rain Ninja army, we can kill our way through!"
"Head north?" Jiraiya looked at Tsunade again.
