Chapter 62
The next morning, Natsuki transformed into his adult appearance and went to the Shueisha bookstore to buy a deluxe edition set of Make-Out Paradise.
Though Kakashi probably already had a full collection at home, this was still the best gift Natsuki could think of. He figured Kakashi wouldn't reject it... probably.
Tenten casually picked up a copy to flip through—and immediately her face turned bright red. She quickly slammed the book shut.
She glanced at Natsuki shyly and hesitated, "Na-Natsuki, if you have... certain needs, you c-could just talk to me. You don't have to read these kinds of books..."
Natsuki realized she'd misunderstood and quickly explained, "It's not for me! Didn't I say Kakashi-senpai likes this stuff? It's a gift. Besides, this series was written by Jiraiya-sama himself—it's a bestseller in the ninja world."
"Huh? One of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama wrote this?!" Tenten's eyes went wide. "A legendary ninja wrote... this kind of thing? That's so disappointing!"
Natsuki seized the moment. "Jiraiya's a pervert, Tsunade's a gambling addict, and Orochimaru's a traitor—no further comment. So yeah, don't put too much faith in the Sannin. They're nowhere near as admirable as Sakumo-senpai. Also, Tenten, be careful. Jiraiya has a habit of peeping on women's bathhouses—better avoid those places."
Wha-what...?
Tenten stood frozen, clearly unable to accept this shocking revelation.
Her once-admired Legendary Sannin—how could they be like this? Even Tsunade-sama was a gambler?!
Seeing the time, Natsuki and Tenten carried the deluxe Make-Out Paradise set to the agreed training ground. Guy was already there doing one-arm push-ups.
"Yo! Natsuki! Tenten! You're here!" Guy jumped up immediately, and with a serious face began lecturing Natsuki, "I heard everything from Tenten. You pushed yourself too hard and passed out from the pain? That's no good at all! Let me teach you what proper training really means... blah blah blah... understand now? Passionate and youthful training never lies—make sure you're careful from now on!"
