Naruto: Tenseigan Eye

Here's the revised version with smoother phrasing and clarified details:

How could Orochimaru tolerate this? Whether as a human or a snake, he couldn't stand it.

"What kind of nonsense did you write this time?" Tsunade asked, clearly displeased. She raised her fist threateningly, warning Jiraiya, "Let me tell you, writing about Orochimaru is one thing, but if you've written about me, I'll kill you!"

Jiraiya froze, raising his hands defensively. "No, no! Absolutely not! I'm more afraid of Shinki turning me into a puppet than I am of you killing me!"

When he was younger, Jiraiya had used Tsunade and Orochimaru as inspiration for his writing, but that was a long time ago. Now, with Tsunade and Shinki's relationship being so obvious, such a move would be suicidal. Besides, he'd never written anything particularly offensive about Tsunade. Orochimaru, on the other hand… that might be another story.

"Orochimaru, you beat me up! At least tell me how I supposedly implied something about you!" Jiraiya protested.

After racking his brain, he truly couldn't recall writing anything incriminating. He turned to Orochimaru, seeking an explanation.

Tsunade, equally intrigued, stared curiously at Orochimaru. It wasn't like him to get this upset. Jiraiya had written about him before—even portrayed him as a woman—and Orochimaru hadn't cared. So what was different this time?

"Wait, Orochi-Hime? That name isn't half bad," Jiraiya mused aloud, his eyes lighting up mischievously.

The moment the words left his lips, Orochimaru's aura flared with a dangerous purple chakra, signaling his intent to attack.

Tsunade acted quickly, landing a punch on Jiraiya. "You idiot! Why are you still talking about this? Destroy that sketchbook immediately! If you want to write about a man, write about a man. If you want to write about a woman, write about a woman. Stop turning Orochimaru into something in between!"

Assuming Jiraiya had written something androgynous about Orochimaru, Tsunade began scolding him harshly.

Clutching his head, Jiraiya groaned. "I didn't write about Princess Orochimaru! I just thought the name was interesting…"

Before the argument could escalate further, a knock interrupted them. Tsunade sighed, signaling for Orochimaru to calm down before calling out, "Come in."

Shinki entered, taking in the scene. Orochimaru sat on the sofa, visibly fuming as he glared daggers at Jiraiya. Meanwhile, Jiraiya crouched on the floor, looking thoroughly defeated.

"Oh, it's lively in here," Shinki remarked dryly.

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively. "Don't even start. These two idiots fought in the street, and I'm still dealing with the fallout."

She was thankful the fight hadn't gone further. While she could handle one of them, managing both would have been a tall order—even with backup from Shinki and Kushina.

"Orochimaru, you're not seriously upset over a picture book, are you?" Shinki asked, struggling to suppress a grin.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru snorted, still convinced Jiraiya was to blame.

Jiraiya leapt to his feet. "Arrogant Orochimaru! Don't go too far!"

"Enough!" Shinki raised a hand, stopping Jiraiya. "This is partly my fault. I didn't explain myself clearly earlier."

Both Jiraiya and Tsunade blinked in confusion. Only Orochimaru continued to glare.

"Ahem," Shinki began, "Here's what happened. Orochimaru came to me earlier today, dressed as he is now. Seeing him reminded me of a picture book I once read, so I told him about it. He misunderstood and assumed you wrote it, Jiraiya. That's why he attacked."

Jiraiya's jaw dropped. "What?! I got blamed for that?"

Tsunade, her curiosity piqued, asked, "What kind of picture book could make Orochimaru so mad?"

Shinki coughed awkwardly. "In the book, Orochimaru was portrayed as a cold yet beautiful snake princess with an explosive figure. Jiraiya was written as falling for her, and after a lot of persistence, they ended up together."

"WHAT?!" Jiraiya doubled over, coughing violently. Tsunade's eyes widened in shock, her expression a mix of disbelief and amusement.

Whoever had written that book certainly had an overactive imagination. The idea of Orochimaru and Jiraiya as a couple was… absurd.

No wonder Orochimaru was furious. Being depicted as Princess Orochimaru was one thing, but being paired romantically with Jiraiya was beyond the pale.

"Slander! This is outright slander!" Jiraiya shouted. "Why write about Orochimaru at all? And why involve me? The thought of us together… ugh, it's disgusting!"

Unable to contain his frustration, Jiraiya bolted for the window and jumped out, fleeing the scene.

In the Hokage's office, only Shinki and Tsunade remained. After a moment of silence, Tsunade turned to Shinki.

"Where's the picture book?" she asked casually, though her eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Lend it to me. I want to… research it."

Shinki: "…"

Meanwhile, Jiraiya stormed into a nearby bookstore, frantically rummaging through the shelves.

"What are you doing?!" the shopkeeper shouted, alarmed by the mess Jiraiya was creating.

"Shut up!" Jiraiya barked, slamming a wad of money onto the counter. "Here! Take this. Let me search!"

Seeing the money, the shopkeeper softened. "Take your time, sir. Look as much as you like."

Elsewhere, Orochimaru was doing the same—but unlike Jiraiya, he didn't bother paying. His menacing aura alone was enough to keep the shopkeepers silent and trembling in fear.

And so, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru scoured every bookstore in Konoha, searching for the infamous picture book that had caused all the chaos.
