Jiraiya liked to think of himself as a Renaissance man, one of diverse talents. He was the Great Jiraiya of the Movie House, after all. And to his credit, he was almost justified, because he could do almost anything with almost anything.
So, since Missy Mayor Tsunade had been griping that he coupld take anything non-sexual and pervert it, he wondered if he could do the opposite.
And lo, he thought, I have. He turned his creation this way and that, admiring the way the balloons twisted pleasingly into a flower. A lily, in fact, complete with elegantly arcing petals and boldly jutting stamen.
“Hah,” he said, “look. I can so do normal stuff.”
She crossed her arms in dismissal. “Nope, You fail, Jiji. You used condoms for balloons.”
“But they were all I had on me!”
“Even if you had real balloons, you’d still lose. Now get out of my office. I have work to avoid with far better means than you.”
“What? How? It’s a flower!”
“How would you classify sculpting plant genitals as anything other than perverted?”
Jiraiya sulked out of her office. Stepping into the street, he started to grumble. “How fair was that? If she came up with the naughty bits of a flower defence, she’s even worse than I am…”
What a woman!
