Himawari’s own face quickly took up a surprised expression. Her eyes went wide and she stomped her feet quickly, happily before she practically jumped on the spot. She knew plenty about Jiraiya (and she also knew that Kakashi read his books, all the time) so to get to meet him was an absolute delight. In a flash she reached out to the hand close to her, and grabbed it.
Her hand was so small in comparison to the elder, but she still held onto it as tight as she could. She did not want him to pull it away. “Otou-chan talks about you all the time! Sometimes he summons the toads, and they talk about you too! Where have you been Jiraiya-ojii-sama? Why haven’t you been here is everything okay?” the questions that wanted to come out were bubbling, her eyes twinkling in amazement.
She even leaned in and whispered. “Did you really write the books that Kakashi-ojii-sensei reads? Otou-chan won’t let me or Boruto-nii-chan read them but… He even had us dress up as toads once. He said maybe that would make you come… So you’re a little late!”
【 A smile appeared on his face as a tiny hand reached out and grabbed his. Her reaction to his name and glee only filled him with pride that Naruto had not forgotten him. The reasons around why he had remained at bay for so long were a mystery even for himself, however, he will disclose that information once he knew the answers. Jiraiya did not pull his hand away and instead curled his fingers around the little Himawari’s. He winked. ❝Aʜ﹗ Sᴏ Nᴀʀᴜᴛᴏ ʜᴀs!❞ He boasted before thinking of a good response for the child. A finger went up to his cheek as he scratched it in thought. ❝I ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʙᴇᴇɴ sᴘᴇɴᴅɪɴɢ ᴍʏ ᴅᴀʏs ᴀᴛ Mᴛ. Mʏᴏʙᴏ.❞ The next set of questions caught him by surprise. So she and her brother knew about the books and research? ❝Wᴇʟʟ... ❞ Jiraiya leaned in before shifting his eyes to see if anyone was listening. ❝I ᴄᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴʟʏ ᴅɪᴅ. Aɴᴅ ɪᴛs ᴀ ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇɴ·ᴛ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ʏᴇᴛ. Mᴀʏʙᴇ ᴡʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏʟᴅᴇʀ.❞ Standing up straight, the Toad sage began to look about once again. ❝Bᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ ɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴀɴ ʟᴀᴛᴇʀ﹗ Aғᴛᴇʀ ᴀʟʟ﹐ ᴀ ᴛᴏᴀᴅ ɪs ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʟᴀᴛᴇ﹗ Jᴜsᴛ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ᴏɴ ᴛɪᴍᴇ.❞ 】
