God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 16

The three continued to soak in an awkward silence.

The two Konoha nin, unsure if the man before them had fallen asleep in the bath, seeing as he hadn't made and obvious moves other than his breathing. Sensing the extremely small chakra signature of the man, the two soon eased up and lowered their guard.

'With chakra that weak, he wouldn't even pass the academy.'

"Excuse me, kind sir?" The questionable voice was the first to break the silence.

Hearing them speak, the slight worry in their voice gave the impression that they were still young and were unsure how to approach him currently.

"Leave the geezer to sleep. If he's close to overheating, we could just pull him out later." The woman's voice soon came. She was so sure he was a sleeping old man, Shinku had to resist the urge to retort with a snarky remark.

'It's not worth it, and I could probably get something out of listening to the senju princess whine about the Hokage.'

Thinking this, he smirked. Getting dirt on any of the Kage, as well as finding out more about them, meant if they stood against him, killing them would be an easier task.

'I think Akame once mentioned the third Hokage is known as the professor and the current god of Shinobi. I wonder which of us would be the first to fall if we fought?'

"Easier said than done. The least we can do is wake him if he isn't up already." The unknown voice said, moving closer to Shinku by a few steps.

'Are you approaching me?'

"Orochimaru, leave him be. We both know you would never be this nice to some random old villager." The woman said and moved to halt Orochimaru from approaching further.

'I'm getting tired of you calling me an old man, princess.'

Shinku was a second away from moving when he sensed the third Chakra signature started tumbling off the roof toward the three.

'Shit. You better not fall on me.'

"Woah!"

The third Chakra signature soon fell off the roof and fell into the bath.

'Tsunade... Orochimaru...'

Shinku slid his towel off his face as he stared at Tsunade and Orochimaru, who had towels covering their torso down to their thighs and the third member of their squad who was previously peeping.

The spiky, white-haired man soon stood, his clothes drenched.

'And Jiraiya...'

"Dammit, Jiraiya! It's one thing to peek, but to dive headlong and damn near land on me while I'm almost naked!" Tsunade stood and threw a right hook, punching Jiraiya and sending him into the rock wall surrounding the bath.

'And that's what bothers you the most?'

Shinku watched as Jiraiya was sent flying before shifting his gaze onto the two figures right in front of him.

"So... just looking is fine, right?" Shinku gave a small grin as he untied his hair, letting it drap down.

"Oh, Shinku. Ssso nice to sssee you again." Orochimaru said, making Shinku's grin drop. Shinku still couldn't figure out Orochimaru's gender, and the towel only confused him more.
