Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Shakespeare in Love ❯ 148 ( Chapter 9 )

Another one down.

 

O me! what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight;
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's: no,
How can it? O! how can Love's eye be true,
That is so vexed with watching and with tears?
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not, till heaven clears.
O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind,
Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.

Jiraiya knew his female teammate well. She was a violent, aggressive, unlucky gambling-addict. And, even though she had recently developed a pair of breasts, he still saw her as the flat-chested bitch he had been teamed up with so long ago. He still didn't understand why her part of the latest mission was to infiltrate a formal gathering and lure their target to a secluded area. Why would that guy follow her? However, when was fully dressed and made up a mere half hour before the party, all his negative perceptions of her seemed to have gone on a sudden vacation. He realized that, at that moment, he would have followed her anywhere for any reason if she'd only ask.
