Tsunade and Jiraiya are drinking again. He can outdrink her no matter how much of a drunkard she can get. One of the perks of running a spy network, he has to notice everything, he knows she's about to drug him. Nope, not happening and the sake spills on the table.

" Hey you two, don't fight here. Don't think I don't know who you two are, and you better pay for this!", the irate owner of the stand scolds the two sannin, who are currently glaring daggers at each other.

Jiraiya pulls out a bunch of ryo from his wallet and slams it down on the counter. Not a word is spoken and the two ran off into the night, looking for a place to spar. It takes hours of fighting and the two finally stop fighting. Out of breath, they sit on the ground, back to back, breathing heavily.

"We're getting too old for this.", Jiraiya says once he regains his breath.

" Even if I look like this? Like I'm still in my 20's?", Tsunade asks.

" Does it matter?", Jiraiya asks back.

The sun is almost up. The two relish in it. Too some this may seem romantic to some but for these two, it means that one of them is about to make a deal with their old teammate.

" Don't go to him. We both know that even if he uses that jutsu of his to bring them back, they'll never be the same as they once was. Give your boyfriend and your brother peace.", Jiraiya pleads.

" I know, but I miss them so much. You know how I was when they died. Until now, I can't heal anyone whenever I see blood. I can finally get them back and you will stand in the way? Don't you love me?", came the reply and its stupid to use the I love you card and they both know it.

And the toad sannin rises to his feet, grabs her by the arms and stares down at her.

Orochimaru's POV

Those two I swear. Tsunade needs a stern talking down to and as much as I wants my arms back, even I know when to get away from Jiraiya when he gets like that.

" And you think I don't know how much it hurt you?! I was there for you to cry on. I grieved for Nawaki too, and even when I was injured when I tried to stop Orochimaru, I was still there for you! I loved you and still do, but I'm not that desperate for your love to keep you from getting a boyfriend when I knew you longer! I'm not so stupid to do what you want me to do just because I love you! You're not throwing away sensei's and the former hokage's teachings and morals so you can get them back.", Jiraiya rants and trust me she's got it coming.

Kabuto, by my side, watches amused how Tsunade, one of the medic nins who he respects the most, get a stern talking down to by our teammate, or former teammate in my case. I'll fight them some other time.

" Let's go Kabuto.",I order and we head back to the hideout.
