Chapter 499: The Past and Present (Ch 499)

Seeing this, Naruto was naturally very disgusted with this person’s behavior. He looked around and saw that no one noticed this wretched person, so he shouted directly:

“Someone come quickly, there is a pervert peeping into the women’s bathing pool, come and catch him.”

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, a very panicked voice came from the bathtub not far away, and it seemed that someone had heard what he had just said.

“Hey, kid, who told you to mind your own business here?”

After hearing this unpleasant voice, Naruto quickly raised his head, only to meet the unpleasant look of that pervert.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Naruto felt that his eyes changed slightly when he saw him.

However, facing this person’s questioning, Naruto did not give in and said:

“You pervert, you’re peeping into the women’s bathing room. You think you’re right? If I didn’t have something else to do, I would have sent you to the security team and locked you up for a few days.”

In response to Naruto’s words, the man sneered disdainfully before speaking:

“I am the Toad Immortal, who dares to lock me up? Even if the guards were given some courage, they would only send me out respectfully.”

In response to what this person said, the celebrity just made a face and continued:

“You’re just bragging. If you’re some big shot, how could you possibly be peeping into the women’s bathhouse?”

When the man heard this and was about to say something, a group of aggressive women in bathrobes came running over from the direction of the bathing pool, shouting:

“Where is that peeping Tom? Let him out now, I’m going to beat him to death!!”

When Naruto saw these people, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately shouted at them:

“Here, the peeping Tom is here. He was the one who was secretly watching the women’s bathhouse just now. Look, he has a telescope in his hand.”

After getting the hint from Naruto, these female soldiers quickly locked onto the location of the peeping Tom and rushed towards him with buckets and mops in their hands.

“Go to hell, you pervert!”

“You’re a peeping Tom. I’m going to beat you to death!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiraiya responded to the attacks of these people like a thief who was about to be caught. He jumped up and ran away, leaving a message behind:

“You little brat, this is all your fault. I will definitely remember you.”

Naruto was very satisfied with the end of this peeping Tom. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to remember something. He looked at the man’s back in the distance and murmured:

“White hair, and a pervert peeping into the bathhouse. Could this guy be the one Uncle Qiu Shan was talking about?”

Although Naruto was very disdainful of this person’s character, when he thought about what Uncle Qiu Shan said about this person’s strength being stronger than Kakashi, if he could guide him, he would be able to surpass Sasuke very quickly.

Under this temptation, Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still chased in the direction the man had just left.

…

A river outside Konoha Village

Jiraiya kicked a stone into the river casually, then looked at the rippling water and said angrily:

“Damn that brat! If he hadn’t been so nosy, I would have been able to collect more materials today.”

As Jiraiya spoke, he found a large rock and sat cross-legged on it.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him:

“That wretched uncle, are you really a very powerful master?”

At this time, Jiraiya was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, holding one side of his face with his hand. After hearing that voice, he turned his head slightly and glanced at him, then said impatiently:

“Whether I am a master or not, what does it have to do with you?”

After hearing what this person said, Naruto looked at the large scroll he was carrying behind him, and after hesitating for a moment, he said:

“I heard from others that you are stronger than Kakashi-sensei. I will participate in a very important competition in less than a month. Can you guide me?”

Jiraiya heard Naruto’s words, but he didn’t even raise his head. He looked at the river in the distance and said:

“You little brat, just give up on this idea. Just because you just ruined my good deed, I can’t possibly guide you in your cultivation.”

After hearing what this person said, Naruto scratched his head in distress. He knew very well that how could this person know him when he had just pissed him off?

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged, but still asked unwillingly:

“Uncle, how can you know my practice?”

After hearing Naruto’s words, Jiraiya looked at him in surprise, then looked up at the sky and thought for a while, but still shook his head and said:

“I don’t want to. It’s too much trouble to guide you little ghosts in practice. I don’t want to do such a thankless job.”

At this point, Jiraiya seemed to be afraid that he would pester him, so he stood up, patted his butt and said:

“Okay, little brat, I’m leaving now. You should find someone else.”

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Jiraiya, and just stood there quietly, looking at him with a smile on his face.

After seeing this person, Jiraiya froze up and said in a serious tone:

“Uchiha Qiushan, what are you doing here? I’m just going back to the village to take a look. I’m not a traitor to Konoha Village and I won’t pose any threat to the village. You don’t need to keep an eye on me all the time.”

When Naruto next to him saw Uchiha Qiushan, he seemed to have seen a savior and shouted:

“Uncle Qiu Shan, you’re here!”

Uchiha Qiushan heard Naruto’s words, nodded to him, and then said to Jiraiya:

“Jiraiya, long time no see. You haven’t been back to the village for a long time. I thought you had forgotten that you were a member of Konoha.”

After hearing what Uchiha Qiushan said, Jiraiya sat back on the big rock again, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and then continued:

“Why would I come back? The whole village is controlled by you and Tsunade. Even the Third Hokage has been forced to step down by you.

If I come back, will I still be a nuisance to you?”

Although Jiraiya had been wandering outside, he had never lost contact with Konoha Village and had long been very clear about the situation inside Konoha.

When Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya secretly came back and wanted to pursue Tsunade, but was beaten up by Uchiha Ooyama and Tsunade.

So, from that time on, Jiraiya never returned to Konoha Village again.
