Jiraiya's Twins

Chapter 2

It was a calm morning. Jiraiya set up a beautiful picnic in the forest and was laying on his side eating fruits. Katsumi was sitting and shaking the bell her father gave her happily giggling, while Tadashi was playing with a frog his father summoned earlier.

Tsunade, Shizune, and ton-ton all followed the sound of the bell. There was a small smile on Tsunade's face when she saw Jiraiya dramatically share his stories with his children. She shook her head and made her way towards the toad sage. "I thought you were going to pay for the meal,"

Jiraiya looked up and smiled a cheeky grin "Really? I must've forgotten"

They all spent time together, eating food, and having a nice chat. Jiraiya would ask many What if... questions to the two women. Tadashi grew attached to Tsunade, refusing to leave her lap, while Katsumi kept playing and following Ton-Ton. The pig would walk to one side of the picnic blanket and snort, then the baby would follow. The sun began to set, Tsunade was laying down and Tadashi was laying on top of her sleeping. Jiraiya was envious of his own son. He was using her breasts like pillows. Katsumi was on Shizune's lap getting her hair braided.

"What are you going to do?" Tsunade looks at Jiraiya with concern.

"Well, I'm going back to the leaf... at some point. I want to ask lord third if they can stay in the village in the future. When they're old enough to join the academy I'll leave them in his care. I at least want to teach Katsumi how to maneuver on her own." He rests his hands on his cheek looking at the twins.

"It'll be fine. You're already an amazing dad" Tsunade said. This made Jiraiya smile.

Twins: age 4

Sarutobi raised his hand "Excuse me, could you give me some time alone please, I must organize this information" the meeting was cut short as everyone left the room. After he made sure that no one was nearby, he opened the office window.

"How can I help you Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya climbed into the office and put the twins down. Katsumi took a staff that was on the side of her father's travel bag and stood there quietly while Tadashi stood on the other side of his father with his hands in his pockets.

"I need a favor, lord third. Please allow my children to live here in the village." Jiraya said, bowing to his elder.

Katsumi puffed up her cheeks and hit her father with the staff, the jingle of a bell that dangling atop of it filled the room. this made Tadashi snicker.

"That hurt," he rubbed his arm "let me rephrase that, please allow them to live here in the village when they turn eight."

Sarutobi coughed. "Did you say, children? How? When did-"

Jiraiya stood up straight and mouthed "I'll tell you later."

Tadashi crossed his arms and looked at Jiraiya. "That's dirty" he mouthed to his father. Jiraiya squinted his eyes, looking down at his son who in turn stared back at him back, eventually leading to a staring competition between the two.

The Hokage sighed as he knelt in front of Katsumi first. She had curly white hair, a darker complexion compared to Jiraiya and she had the same red markings under her eyes. Her eyes are mist gray similar to those in the Hyuga clan.

"What is your name, child?"

Katsumi smiled as she ran to the center of the room. Tadashi took out a small drum seemingly out of nowhere. She shook her staff and let the bell jingle three times. Sarutobi raised an eyebrow and looked to the two other males. Jiraiya had a big smile on his face while Tadashi looked a little uninterested but went along with it, banging the drum lightly.

"I can't see but don't be sad. My dad is super strong, and I will be strong just like him! I am Katsumi!"

There was a pause. The room was quiet for a moment before the toad sage spoke up. "That's my girl! You did it perfectly! And you were facing the right direction this time." Jiraiya went to his daughter and picked her up, putting her on his shoulders. The two were laughing wholeheartedly.

"My name is Tadashi." the boy presented himself calmly as he walked next to the Hokage. He then pointed at his sister " I'm sure that I'm older than her....by like two seconds" he said calmly. Tadashi has the same marking under his eyes and has similar hair as Jiraiya did back then, however it was a lot smoother. Sarutobi felt nostalgic looking at the boy.

"Ehh! Says who?" Katsumi responded. Pointing at Tadashi accusingly while also holding on to her father's hair for support.

Tadashi whistled and looked away from her.

"I see" Sarutobi sweatdropped as he watched the three interact with each other.

He clapped his hands, gaining the attention of all the white-haired individuals in the room.

"Why specifically eight?" He asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Ehh? Isn't that the age where you start the academy?" Jiraiya asked, scratching his head.

Lord third sighed and nodded. "Yes they can stay, I'll provide them with living accommodations when you return."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Jiraiya took away the staff from his daughter and secured it to his bag. "Let's get going kids."

Jiraiya took Katasumi off his shoulders and placed her onto the ground. Tadashi walked toward his sister and grabbed her hand gently before guiding her towards the nearby window. The entire time Katasumi stared blankly at nothing in particular.

'I see, so that's what she meant when she said she can't see. She's blind' Sarutobi thought

"Thank you, lord Third." Said Tadashi.

"Yes, thank you, lord Third." Katasumi echoed with a big smile on her face, still staring off.

Jiraiya began walking towards where his kids stood and placed his foot on the window ledge ready to jump out.

"Shouldn't you use the door Jiraiya?"

"Nah, this is much more fun" he jumped out. Tadashi gave a final wave to the Hokage and jumped out as well, holding onto his sister's hand, following his father. Sarutobi watched as the family jumped from house to house leaving the village.

"I wonder when later is." He said, shaking his head.
