Chapter 440 - He Likes To Pierce Things, But Not With A Kunai
Sasuke briefly considered talking to them but realized that there was honestly no point in doing so. However, he thought about why the duo would be here inside Konoha and quickly concluded that they probably followed his younger self here. He did find it a little bit weird that they were allowed to reside inside Konoha, but he decided not to think about that too deeply since it didn\'t matter anyway. At the end of the day, he didn\'t belong in this timeline and shouldn\'t dive too deeply into its affairs.
Next, he saw Jirobo, another one from the Sound Four, who appeared to be the owner of a small street stall and was selling meat skewers with a happy smile on his face.
Only a few meters further, he noticed Kidomaru, yet another person from the Sound Four, who appeared to be working in a textile store, making Sasuke briefly wonder if he produced the silk that was sold himself.
While Sasuke was deep in thought about all the people that seemed to have gathered here at the Uzumaki compound, a tall man with a giant sword strapped to his back walked past him. At first, Sasuke didn\'t pay him any attention, but after feeling the danger radiating off his body, Sasuke gave him another glance and couldn\'t help but gape when he realized who the man was.
\'Zabuza Momochi!? Why is he casually walking around the compound, and what\'s with the danger his body is radiating? There is no way he was this powerful when we met him during the mission in the Land of Waves. With this kind of strength, he would have been able to kill Kakashi relatively easily and then finish us off as well.\'
"BEAT HIM UP, YOU KNOW!!!"
"HEY, MOVE ASIDE; I WANT TO GET A FEW KICK IN AS WELL, YOU KNOW!!!"
"HAHA, NO NEED TO QUARREL; THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR ALL OF US TO GET A KICK IN, YOU KNOW!!!"
While Sasuke was deep in thought, the group heard loud yelling from one part of the compound, attracting the attention of Sasuke and Boruto, while Yuna and Hinata simply continued walking.
Sasuke and Boruto looked at the source of the commotion and noticed a bunch of red-headed people beating up a single man with white, long, spiky hair.
While Sasuke looked around and immediately saw the "Women\'s Bath" sign, helping him understand what is going on, Boruto\'s sense of justice was ignited when he saw a "poor old man" getting beaten by a mob. He was just about to intervene when Yuna\'s hand landed on his shoulder, stopping his action.
"You shouldn\'t judge a situation before knowing the whole story."
"What is there to know? They are clearly..."
"DAMNIT, STOP IT ALREADY!!! I DIDN\'T EVEN MANAGE TO GET IN A SINGLE PEEK BECAUSE OF THESE ANNOYING SEALS!!!"
"THAT DOESN\'T IMPROVE THE SITUATION AT ALL, YOU KNOW!!!"
Boruto was just about to shrug off Yuna\'s hand when he heard the next part of the conversation. At first, he was rather confused about what was going on, but his face deadpanned after looking around and noticing the "Women\'s Bath" sign.
Yuna realized that Boruto no longer wanted to play hero and let go of his shoulder. A wide grin appeared on her face as she started explaining the situation.
"Let me introduce you to a local specialty of the Uzumaki clan compound: Beating up Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, after he fails to break through the security seals of the women\'s bathing area. It\'s one of the Uzumaki clan\'s most famous attractions."
While Sasuke only facepalmed due to the current situation, while giving the still getting beaten up Jiraiya looks of pity, Boruto couldn\'t believe what he had just heard.
"Jiraiya of the Sannin? THE Jiraiya of the Sannin, who is hailed as a hero who sacrificed his life to gather intel about a dangerous enemy? There is no way he would be a pervert that tries to peek into the women\'s bathing area. This must be an imposter."
Yuna, Hinata, and even Sasuke gave Buruto looks of pity when they heard his words. This was a very accurate depiction about how history worked. Konoha would obviously not allow anyone to depict a figure as influential as Jiraiya as a pervert who spent most of his time peeking on women bathing.
In fact, even if a book like that was released in another nation, very few people would actually believe its content. After all, Jiraiya of the Sannin was a name that resounded throughout the whole Elemental Nations, and even people from other nations wouldn\'t believe that such a "hero" would have such a wretched personality so easily. Konoha did quite a good job spreading propaganda.
*BOOM*
"WHATCHA MEAN BY LOAST *HICK*!? I CLERELY WOAN DIS BET!!!"
While Boruto\'s respect for one of the Sannin was shrinking rapidly, a nearby building collapsed, attracting everyone\'s attention. Moments later, a woman with long blond hair, massive breasts, and a bottle in both of her hands walked out of the ruins of the building with an annoyed facial expression. As soon as Yuna saw that, her eyes immediately started shining.
"Ohh! You are pretty lucky to see two of the Uzumaki clan\'s most famous attractions in one day! I present to you: Hokage-sama getting drunk and going on a rampage!"
Boruto and Sasuke could only look at the rampaging Tsunade in bewilderment. Neither Sasuke nor Boruto had ever seen Tsunade drunk, so this was quite a surprise to them. Additionally, unlike with Jiraiya\'s case, Boruto had seen Tsunade before, and he never thought of her as someone who would act like that.
"What is going on? Why are two of the three Sannin like this?"
Before anyone else could answer Boruto\'s question, Yuna started talking.
"Orochimaru likes to pierce things into young boys, and he certainly isn\'t using a kunai to do so."
Yet again, Boruto instinctively clenched his butt while removing the idea of getting his Orochimaru Shinobi Card personally signed by Orochimaru from his head.
