A Surprise (Tactic of Sorts)

There are only a few things left in the world that could genuinely surprise Namikaze Minato, and his sensei diving into a supply closet isn't one of them. Nevertheless, it's something he thinks he should probably pay attention to, mainly because the closet is in his office.

"Jiraiya-sensei," Minato says and frowns towards the closed doors. "What are you doing?"

"Kid, you never saw me," Jiraiya answers frantically and the closet seems to be quivering in fear. "They’re -"

"I know you're in here!"

Minato isn't surprised by the women either, not that there's often a horde of young kunoichi at his door. After a while, you get used to seeing angry women chasing your sensei through the streets and hurling projectile weapons at him.

The hollering redhead and the others behind her have no visible weapons, possibly because they seem to be coming from the nearby bathhouse. Their soaking wet hair, enraged expressions and (lack of) clothes give Minato a pretty good idea of what Jiraiya had been doing prior to inhabiting his closet.

"Come out and fight like a ninja, you bastard!" The redhead has excellent lungs and she doesn't spare even a glance for Minato as she stomps into the room and growls. "Fine, let’s do it the hard way then."

Later, when his brain is functional again, Minato admits that he actually was rather surprised when the woman yanked her bathrobe open, especially because she wasn’t wearing anything under it. Minato has a self-control most ninja would kill to achieve but even he has difficulties dragging his eyes away from her breasts.

His sensei never manages that, at least from what Minato can see between Jiraiya falling twitching and drooling out of the closet, and the women attacking him like bloodthirsty hyenas. What follows is fast, brutal and awe-inspiring. Minato’s terribly proud of Konoha's kunoichi even if they are using their skills to beat his sensei to pulp.

After delivering a final kick to the whimpering mess that was Jiraiya, the redhead is the last one to leave. She stops at the door and smiles radiantly at Minato. "Sorry for disturbing your peace, Hokage-sama. I hope this doesn't happen again." And then, with a wicked gleam in her eyes, she winks and adds, "Well, at least the part with the pervert."

After she’s slammed the door shut behind her, Minato says slowly, "I think… I think I just fell in love."
