Naruto and its characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto, and not to me.

Jiraiya, The Curious Ninja

At times Jiraiya truly wished to understand women better. Then he would know why his mother was always so cross with his father. He understood some of it had to do with how late his old man came home most nights. But he did wonder what his father was doing for so long, and why it upset his mother so much. One night his curiosity got the better of him, so he used his stealthy ninja stealth to hide under the kitchen table until his father came home.

"Finally" he heard his mother yell, although she did sound slightly relieved as well.

"I don't see…" his father started only to be cut off.

"It makes me feel inadequate," his mother stated.

"But, Sakura"

"No buts mister 'orange flash'" Sakura continued, "If my food isn't good enough just say so. Don't excuse your self on 'important Hokage business' every single night just to sneak out for ramen."

Sakura then went to bed fuming. Jiraiya giddy was giddy with joy over his discovery, which he knew he could use to get something out of his father. Naruto meanwhile was left wondering as he often did what his wife had against ramen; he also noticed that for some reason the table was laughing.
