Jiraiya laughed at Naruto's description of Sasuke's clothes. Definitely gay. Had to be. Skirt, bow, open shirt. Yeah, completely gay.

He was snickering openly by the end of it. "Okay, maybe he has some clue."

And then, a horribly amusing thought occurred to Jiraiya. "With that outfit, and his arm around your shoulder that time..."

He tilted his head back, putting down his fork to cross his arms again, looking distinctly amused. "And he let you see what Aidou was doing to him."

Jiraiya grinned wider. "Well, I guess it makes you wonder, doesn't it?"

So what if he was saying all of this purely to horrify Naruto? It was funny. Really damn funny. And the boy needed to be teased, anyways. Wasn't that a sacred godfatherly duty, or something like that?

"Explains why he was so obsessed with beating you," Jiraiya nodded, trying to keep a straight face. "He was worried about not being dominant enough."

There was no way that Naruto was stupid enough to not realize that Jiraiya was completely bullshitting him. Because he was, and it was obvious. He even made sure to have the right tone of voice to hint to that....
