[October 20] [Naruto] confidence and pizazz
Title: confidence and pizazz
Day/Theme: October 20 / A spy of the old school
Series: Naruto
Character/Pairing: Jiraiya
Rating: PG
He was just an innocuous old geezer working to compensate for his measly pension, a night-shift worker headed for home very early that morning.
Or was he?
Sometimes, the truth was only too evident in the pizazz sprouting even from his perfectly acted limp. The consequences of having such stellar-level mojo was disastruous to his beloved motherland. Information wasn't free. His sexiness allowed him to get away with a lot of things----but yes, he was rendered much more conspicuous, like the tallest tree in a thunderstorm. Contrary to what many thought, it wasn't his sex appeal that saved him from the worst screw-ups. Getting caught was hardly an acceptable outcome for his missions, so of course, he was careful and he was skillful.
He was the Toad sennin.
The femme fatales gave him a hard time, naturally. That's what they're there for. Sugar and spice. Yum.
Ah, but that's life. With a sigh, the spy wrenched his eyes from the swinging ass of the yakuza lord's girl. He had the names he needed. Easy. By tomorrow, he'd have the outcome of the Fire country presidential elections at the palm of his hands.
He left without wreaking havoc on the underground kingdom. It was not time to get deterred by petty things.
Mission accomplished. His secret? Towering confidence. Did he really think he would emerge victor in each and every transaction? Of course, not. But the enemy didn't know that. And of course, he had the intuitive understanding of human nature.
With the changing landscape, Jiraiya shifted. The traveler passed through, the angel of death merciful to the elements of night.
