"Weak, oh so weak, now you know who's the boss, Orochimaru."
"Ah, more, more~"
"Look at this Orochimaru, already drunk after just a few drinks. He's really pathetic."
"Amazing! This Orochimaru is such a lightweight."
"Jiraiya-sama, from the way you're talking, you must be a good drinker, huh?" Gojo Kaigetsu raised his glass and took a large gulp. Both he and Orochimaru remained unfazed, showing no signs of intoxication.
The latter was immune to all poisons. As for the former... Infinity-activate!
Only Jiraiya was swaying unsteadily, barely conscious.
"Please, of course! After all, after drinking, I still need to... hic~ wash my feet!"
"Let me tell you guys, that foot massage parlor in the new commercial district, the girls there are amazing at massages, very skilled. They have great figures too, even I, one of the Sannin..."
-Thud-
The invincible Jiraiya finally collapsed onto the table.
Gojo Kaigetsu smiled without saying a word.
It was hard to imagine that Jiraiya dragging Orochimaru out for a meal was simply to express gratitude and... gather intel.
Gratitude for his assistance in supporting Minato, leading Konoha to prosperity, and for his "understanding" of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As for the intel... it was naturally about the hidden literary genius in Konoha, the one who penned the awe-inspiring "Foot Massage Bible" that had captivated Jiraiya.
"Apologies, Gojo-san, for making a fool of myself."
Orochimaru, in his usual state, appeared approachable, lacking the arrogance typical of a Sannin.
However, once the topic shifted to ninjas or experiments, he would switch personalities, becoming sinister and scary.
Don't be fooled by Orochimaru's harmless appearance. It stemmed from his belief that Gojo Kaigetsu remained unaware of his secret, gruesome human experiments.
Otherwise... who knows.
"Jiraiya-sama is truly a man of passion."
Gojo Kaigetsu gave a thumbs-up, simultaneously slipping a pre-prepared slip of paper covered in incantations into a brocade pouch with his other hand.
After completing this, he placed the pouch on the table.
Orochimaru's gaze was drawn to it. "Oh? Gojo-san, what's this?"
"Consider it a small token of my appreciation, a little gift."
"Perhaps it might aid Orochimaru-sama in your ninjutsu training."
Ninjutsu? Training?
Orochimaru was slightly surprised. It wasn't that he looked down on Gojo Kaigetsu, but he believed...
He could take down Jonin with a single slap, let alone Chunin. In his eyes, all Chunin were trash, nothing more than slightly higher-grade lab rats.
What use could a Chunin's gift possibly have in ninjutsu training?
Well, it was the thought that counted.
Orochimaru offered a natural and polite smile. "Is that so... I'm delighted to receive a gift from Gojo-san."
