Chapter 106: CH 106
Jiraiya watched Naruto's face roll through a gambit of emotions; overwhelmed, irritated, somewhat frightened, calm, and then strangely lucid. Jiraiya kept an eye on the boy as the look of lucidity stayed, 'One. Weird. Kid.'

"So brat, how was the mission?" Tsunade said through her crossed fingers, trying and failing miserably to hide the smirk on her face.
Naruto gave her a dry look, "Oh yeah, it was a real tough 'mission'. Baa-chan the next time you want to swerve me into doing something, just stop and think, would coming out and telling me what you want me to actually go and do really be so bad?"
Tsunade moved her hands and made no attempt to hide her smirk, "It wouldn't have been as fun as it was imagining the look on your face when you met the pervert so yes, yes it would have."
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Yeah because I would have been such a bastard about taking the mission. What would I have done, turned it down?" Naruto scoffed, "Since when do I turn down anything?"
Tsunade got the conversation back on track, "Alright. Now seriously, how was it?"
Naruto grinned at her, "I can split a waterfall with my bare hands. Does that answer your question?"
