"Pfft-"
After sizing up Kato Dan for a moment, Jin couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at, kid? Aren't you afraid of getting cuckolded?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.
Since Jin had stolen the person he'd had a crush on for over a decade, Jiraiya really wanted to cause some trouble for this brat who wasn't even fully grown.
"Why should I be afraid? Do you really think Tsunade would fall for that kind of guy?" Jin said with a mocking expression.
"Huh?"
Under Jiraiya's bewildered gaze, Jin calmly stated, "Is he handsomer than me? Is he stronger than me? Does he have a better background than me?"
"If Tsunade only had a pervert like you and a weirdo like Orochimaru around her like before, she might indeed have been fooled by that pretty boy."
"But now that she has an outstanding man like me by her side, how could she possibly be interested in a man with just a pretty-boy vibe?"
After Jin's speech, not only Jiraiya but also the big shots in the chat room were left speechless.
At first listen, one might think this kid was incredibly narcissistic.
But upon careful thought, it kind of made sense, damn it.
Throughout Konoha's history, the only one who could probably rival Jin in looks was Minato standing on the other side.
Actually, even in his previous life, Jin found it strange.
With Tsunade's looks and strength, how could she fall for someone like Dan, who aside from a barely passable face, had no other outstanding qualities?
Moreover, he was downright weak!
But after transmigrating, Jin finally understood.
The main reason was that the men around Tsunade were just too lame!
Leaving aside Jiraiya, who peeped in women's baths since childhood, Orochimaru also grew increasingly... unconventional.
Sakumo was quite impressive in all aspects, but the problem was he married early.
Now, Tsunade was only in her early twenties, while Sakumo already had a kid.
'Under such circumstances, Kato Dan got lucky.'
'But now, he still wanted to pursue Tsunade?'
'Dream on!'
If Minato came competing, then I might be a bit wary.'
'But Dan?'
'What qualifies him?'
'That he's weaker than me? Or that he's uglier than me?'
"Cough! Cough!"
A series of dry coughs sounded.
Jin and Jiraiya looked up.
They saw Tsunade glaring at them with a murderous expression.
Well, mainly at Jin.
The expressions of everyone else present were also somewhat awkward.
'Couldn't you two keep your voices down when whispering?'
"Ah, Tsunade-nee, it's all Jiraiya's fault for insulting your taste. I had to explain it to him urgently! Don't be angry, don't be angry," Jin said, stepping forward and taking Tsunade's hands to comfort her.
"Don't touch me!" Tsunade tried to shake him off several times but couldn't break free.
Afraid of hurting him if she used her super strength, she had no choice but to let him hold her hand.
Jiraiya almost cried when he saw this.
After all, that's the hand he hadn't managed to hold in over a decade of effort!
'Why did this kid achieve it so easily?!'
But the one even more heartbroken was Dan.
After all, Jin had really belittled him into worthlessness.
But... he wasn't wrong.
Although becoming a Jonin at twenty was considered excellent, it couldn't compare at all to monsters like Jin or Sakumo.
Sakumo also couldn't help but rub his temples.
'This team is hard to lead...'
Beep, beep-!!
Just as Sakumo was inwardly lamenting the difficulty of leading his team, alarm sirens suddenly echoed through the Konoha's camp.
"Enemy attack!" Shinku shouted, his face changing dramatically.
"All personnel, combat readiness level one!" Sakumo, as the supreme commander, yelled with a stern expression, grabbing his short sword and leading the way out of the tent.
"Jiraiya-sensei!" Because it was his first time on the battlefield, Minato's breathing became rapid.
"Don't be afraid! Just treat it like a mission with more enemies. Stay behind me," Jiraiya said.
Although he's usually a pervert, Jiraiya was very reliable in critical moments.
"Stay behind me if there's danger," Tsunade said, pursing her lips, her expression awkward. She wasn't good at saying such things.
Hearing this, Jin couldn't help but smile. He crooked a finger at Tsunade.
"What?" Curious, Tsunade bent down closer to Jin, thinking he wanted to whisper something.
However, completely unexpectedly for Tsunade, Jin suddenly raised his hands, cupped her face, and then she felt a soft sensation on her lips.
"You little brat! You're dead!!!"
It took a full half minute for Tsunade to snap back to reality. She chased after the retreating figure like an enraged tigress.
Jiraiya felt his heart crack in two with a 'snap'.
I should have held on tight, I never should have let you go~
Minato looked around curiously, 'Where was this background music coming from?'
Dan's expression was similar. At this moment, he just wanted to sing loudly: "When you left I lost a part of me… It's still so hard to believe~~"
