Chapter 250
Jiraiya was startled by Haruto Saito. He had personally witnessed how gruesome Kaguya Rakuba's death had been. Even though he knew that the explosive tags Haruto had supposedly placed on him wouldn't actually detonate, having someone else's explosive tags hidden on him was incredibly dangerous.
It was like carrying an uncontrollable bomb. If he couldn't find it, there was no telling when it might explode! For instance, if he were in battle and got hit by a powerful shockwave, while the impact itself might not injure him much, it could trigger the unstable explosive tag!
Jiraiya frantically patted himself down from head to toe but found nothing.
Haruto watched him with a smirk.
Realization dawned on Jiraiya, and his expression darkened as he glared at Haruto. "You little brat, you tricked me!"
"I just asked you to guess. I never said I actually put an explosive tag on you. Why are you so nervous?" Haruto chuckled.
Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed but also relieved.
"Heh!" Haruto suddenly twisted his body, reaching for Jiraiya's waist pouch. His movements were lightning-fast—before Jiraiya could react, Haruto had already pulled something out and waved it in front of him. "Jiraiya-sama, take a look. What's this?"
Pinched between Haruto's fingers was a stack of explosive tags!
Jiraiya's expression changed. How was that possible? He had just checked himself!
Tsunade, watching from the side, saw through Haruto's trick immediately. She smacked him on the head and exposed him. "Jiraiya, don't let this brat fool you. The explosive tags were always in his hand. He just pretended to pull them from your pouch."
