Mito explained why Shikaku called her a tsundere. And Minato laughed so hard. Mito wanted to punch him however. Mito saw Kushina and ran towards her wanting to talk with her. Mito ignored them and entered Orochimaru's lab for Tenzo. Once she had found him sleeping on a couch she carefully picked him up. She quietly thanked Orochimaru for helping her taking care of Tenzo. Orochimaru softly smiled as he said :" no it is my pleasure." to say that Mito was surprised by those words, it wouldn't be wrong. She carefully carried the boy the her apartment. Already knowing that Shizune was there from her morning shift. 

Meanwhile in Senju complex. 

In the early morning Jiraiya had woken up really excited but also full of fear. He didn't sleep well and he knew why. He loved Tsunade through all of his life. And he knew that Tsunade had him in her heart too, however she didn't think of his as a lover. He loved her so much that this situation, even though he liked it, he felt it wasn't a moral thing to do. Even though she chose him. It was because she actually didn't have a choice. She probably didn't want to hurt him by choosing Orochimaru. 

His life was hard, he loved children however now it seemed he would have one just because of political reasons. He hated politics, however he was always in that kind of work. He also knew that he wouldn't be able to see this child a lot. That also pained him. He wondered if this was a punishment or something he deserved. His heart had pained him for all of his life, the reason were always different. However it would always leave a scar which would change him. Jiraiya knew he was optimistic for everyone else but when it came to him. He just couldn't be. He was week, fragile, his insurances still there. Was he worth any love. If he wasn't a Sage would anyone noticed him. 

His thoughts stopped when he heard door next to his room open. It seemed like Mito and Tenzo were going out, they slept in main house yesterday because they were to tired from eating Mito's cooking . That didn't make things easier for him at all. 

He wanted to feel happy but he also wanted Tsunade to be happy. Which probably could not happen at same time. 

He was surprised when Mito entered his room quietly. Her footsteps small and without sound she reached him and hugged him, he was sitting in his room a child hugging him and saying :" everything is going to be fine. There is always hope. There is a saying from where I come from the hope dies last. Even if you are hurting there will be better times. Just look at me. Look at my eyes don't let yours become like mine." 

Jiraiya stared at her eyes just for a second and saw how deaply she was hurt. The eyes that seemed to see the true darkness. Almost looking dead. 

Mito said :" I deaply care for you, a lot of us do. Just like you we have difucult time saying that. So please, be strong and win the hope." 

Mito then squeezed him a little bit more as she leted go saying :" good luck." 

Jiraiya was dazed, could it be that Mito understood him. Could it be that she sensed his feelings. However before he could say thank you. Mito was long gone. He heard a main doors open. Which meant Mito had left. 

Tsunade frowned, the day seemed beautiful, the first rayes of sun had entered her room long ago. She saw them too. To say she slept would be wrong. She couldn't, her head filled with thoughts about possible things that could happen today, how things could go wrong today. Her attention was mostly far away. Her thoughts about her previous loved ones. She was still afraid to love. To feel. She would rather have loneliness as a friend than have to hurt someone or to be hurted by someone. Her heart was broken for long period of time. She could see that she started to heal, however that didn't seem to be enough. She wondered if she really saw Jiraiya just like a teammate. Her mind was swirling around the moment when she firstly thought about having his child. She always thought it would be more convenient for her that way. She never wondered if her feelings were causing her to think about him. 

Tsunade was surprised when a sudden girl squeezed her, the room was filled with red. Mito's hair was so red and so beautiful. Mito gently spoke :" there is nothing to be afraid of. Love is there to hurt us, sometimes it hunts us, and sometimes we hunt it. However neither we can nor it can escape each other. So there is nothing you should be afraid. Just try to be yourself. Just follow your heart in this case. If it beats faster than come closer, if it doesn't then say it clearly so neither of you gets hurt. Be honest with yourself and him. Don't lie. " Mito then softly kissed Tsunade on temple saying :" just like you Jiraiya has his doubts too. I don't know if you or him have it worse. However you are in same situation. So just be happy with your choice. I will be going now. Good luck. "

And just like that Mito slipped out of Tsunade's hold. Tsunade's tears were wiped by Mito's clothes. 

Tsunade sighed deeply as she exited her room trying to see where Mito was. If that really was Mito. To thank her however what she saw surprised her. Jiraiya was exiting his room to his eyes red just like hers. He mumbled s quiet :" thank you Mito-Chan." he was also surprised to see her standing there. He froze and tried his best to look normal as he said :" good morning, I hope you slept well." 

Tsunade answered honestly :" I didn't sleep at all. How about you." 

Jiraiya face softend a little :" I slept a little. If you aren't ready we don't need to do it." 

Tsunade froze and her face had a frown. Her heart almost skipped a beat. She knew they had to do it today, but how to say that. Jiraiya again spoke :" or we don't, it is your choice." 

Tsunade then spoke :" we don't have other chances. Jiraiya. I want to talk more before anything happens." 

Jiraiya nodded his face had a soft sad smile :" of course. Hime." his old nickname came to mind and he spoke it without thinking. Tsunade froze, her heart speed again just a little. She then headed downstairs. The tea was waiting for them. And it was Mito's favorite. Tsunade and Jiraiya sit opposite to each other. Jiraiya shakily took a cup. The tea calmed him a bit. Tsunade spoke first :" I want to know how you feel about this, what you think will happen to you and me after this." 

Jiraiya gulped and started :" You know I like you, but you also must realize that I don't like this situation we are currently in. For sure I would be mad at you if you didn't choose me, however I still think this is messed up. And we are the only ones that solve this problem, which scares me even more. I know that what I want does not equals what you want so I am going to be fine if you be happy. "

Tsunade felt her heart speed up again she knew what it meant however she wanted to denial it. So she asked :" what do you want then."

Jiraiya froze and then he spoke quietly to not anger Tsunade :" I want to be with you. I doesn't have to be like husband and wife. But I want to always close to you and this child. I want you to be happy and possibly by my side. I love you like that for longest possible time and I can't think of anything that would make me more happy. "

Tsunade nodded, trying not to show how her checks flushed and how eractic her heart beat was:" I see. I can't say that I don't like you. I like you, however for the longest of time I thought that these feelings weren't same to those of love. However it seems that those thoughts were wrong." 

Jiraiya took sharp inhale, however Tsunade continued :" it seemes like I like you for who you are, under your mask of pervert, the one of most kindest people I have met. I would not realized it without help from Mito, honestly. She opened my mind. "

Jiraiya chuckled :" it really is like what she said hope dies last. My last hope are you. I didn't think you would make this happy. You words healed my spirit. " Tsunade flushed :" I am sorry for rejecting before. "

Jiraiya nodded :" it is fine, I too rejected the possibility of us being together a long time ago, however Mito helped me today to seize this chance once again. "

The tea was drunk. And Jiraiya decided to stand up and he took it to kitchen. He knew that this actually meant a lot. While Tsunade didn't say anything of them being together she said she liked him. That was enough for him. He hoped she would let him take care of her just for today. He froze when he felt hands surround him from the back. Something soft pressed his back. He felt sudden blood rush in two directions. He had to calm himself he had taken a deep breath as he asked :" what does this mean, Hime."

He could hear quiet words :" I am sorry I am not ready to look you in eyes while saying this words. I am just afraid I couldn't say it to you then. I wish for the same things as you. So please don't be afraid. And be yourself, and I will be myself. "

Jiraiya face was beat red. He understood his heart beating like crazy, he also could feel Tsunades. He chuckled as he said :" My heart beats slightly faster, just so you know. "

Tsunade snorted :" this isn't a competition. " Jiraiya turned around :" we can always make it one." 

Tsunade flushed, and then said :" I think you are already hard." 

Jiraiya looked down :" You aren't wrong"

Jiraiya hesitated when Tsunade took his hand. She had pulled him to the stairs saying :" now is the best time for it." 

Jiraiya smirked:" How bold, just like I imagined" as he suddenly pick her up princess style saying:" I need to take special care of you Hime." 

Tsunade again flushed especially when she felt his strong hands on her body making her excited. The room was close so the journey wasn't long, however for Tsunade those moments were precious. The first thing that Jiraiya had done when they entered the room surprised her. He carefully laid her on bed and while he was still clothed he came closer as he asked :" may I kiss you, Hime." 

Tsunade nodded because she could think of response. Jiraiya was leaning on her. His body strong and large, hot and handsome, his face was coming closer and closer one of his hands carefully caressed her face while he was leaning on the other. The kiss that followed it was softest thing she felt. She carefully leted his tongue in her mouth. The kiss became slightly more aggressive. The two of them fighting for dominance. Tsunade was winning and it seemed like Jiraiya was fine with that. Once she was certain she won there. She leaned backwards for some air. Jiraiya did the same however the next kiss that followed wasn't as soft it was much more hungry much more passionate and aggressive. Tsunade had started it as she pushed him and rolled them she was on top of him now and the kiss has maddening. To her surprise Jiraya's hands fell on her but cheeks and she felt a strange sensation. Like she yearend for them to be there for longest time. She could see how Jiraiya was flustered about them. She always thought he was super confident, but it seemed like that was a mask he let fall because he didn't care what she thought about him, he wanted to show his true self. Tsunade was happy about that as she said :" it is okay, you can touch what you want." the sudden stars shone in Jiraya's eyes. As his hands started to move slowly in circles on her gluteus. She then started to bite his lips and slowly move on his neck. Jiraiya looked cute like this like lost puppy. She had complete control over him. She liked dominance. 

Jiraiya could feel his eraction getting bigger and bigger. However he decided to enjoy this. His view was perfect. In front of him Tsunade was bitting his neck which was surprisingly turning him on. His hands were slowly moving up taking in every inch of Tsunade's soft and perfect body. He just wondered how would it feel without clothes on. However he knew he would find out soon and they weren't in hurry at all.
