The Akatsuki, if its leader is in control of such a powerful group then how strong is he, I wonder? Jiraiya, this mission of yours will take you right into the lion's den.
Well then I think I better get going.
Please come back alive Jiraiya. If I were to lose you too, then I... I don't know.
Are you saying you'd cry for me? I'm glad to hear it. But I doubt it'll be like the time that Dan died, right?
You idiot!
Say how about you make a bet with me? You gamble everything on me dying. After all Tsunade, you always lose your bets, isn't that right? Promise me if I actually do manage to make it back alive... [acts like he's about to confess his feelings] I'm only kidding Tsunade! You know I'm grateful to you. Rejection makes a man stronger. I believe that you can't call yourself a real man unless you can laugh off all the bad stuff that happens to you, or at least use it as writing material.
So a man's only job is to be strong?
Kind of but that isn't the entire story. Basically the pursuit of happiness isn't for us.
Stop trying to act cool. If there weren't any women around, there would be no rejection either.
