Chapter 147 Jiraiya
How could you, Minato Namikaze, be Tsunade's disciple?
This isn't right!
This is so wrong!
Seeing Minato's bewildered expression, Jiraiya suddenly began to question the meaning of life.
Two days ago, the third generation sent him a message about the Minato incident.
Upon receiving the news, Jiraiya rushed back to the village, eager to meet this disciple from a parallel universe.
As soon as he returned to the village, he was led to the Hokage's office and learned that Danzo had been killed by Minato.
Although he didn't like Danzo either, Jiraiya still felt that Minato was a bit extreme, after all, Danzo was a high-ranking member of the village no matter what.
So he thought he should come and meet Minato and have a good chat with him.
Given their teacher-student relationship, Minato should at least give him some face.
Upon meeting him, he was told that this Minato was not Jiraiya's disciple.
This made Jiraiya feel like a clown.
Jiraiya was immediately flustered and at a loss: "Wait a minute, how did you become Tsunade's apprentice?"
Where are my disciples?
Where is my perfect yellow flashy disciple who always brings female companions?
How did I become Tsunade's disciple?
Upon hearing this, Minato raised his hand, and a small sapling emerged from his palm.
The moment Jiraiya saw the sapling, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"What is this?! Why did you awaken Wood Release?!"
"I'm not entirely sure either, but after I awakened Wood Release when I was five, I was taken in as a disciple by Tsunade-sensei," Minato said gently.
Not just a disciple, but also a child groom and a slave owner—
Jiraiya stared blankly at the sapling, completely dumbfounded.
Oh no, there's a cow!
There are cows!
Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't accept Minato becoming Tsunade's apprentice.
What he cared about was that the Minato in front of him seemed to have more outstanding talent and stronger strength than the Minato of this world!
Doesn't this mean he's misleading young people?
Minato of this world was outstanding, but he only began to show his talent after graduating from the Ninja Academy. Jiraiya's voice trembled: "Tsunade—what did she teach you?"
There are so many!
From ninjutsu knowledge to hygiene—
Although he hadn't started practicing yet, the dog leash had already been handed to him.
Minato subconsciously made a sarcastic remark.
"Hmm—I know all the ninjutsu in the Book of Seals! In addition, there's medical ninjutsu, super strength, vortex sealing technique, slug summoning technique, and the five chakra nature transformations—"
Jiraiya's face twitched violently.
Or should we pursue all-round development?
Is Tsunade really more suitable than me to be Minato's teacher?
Thinking about it carefully, it really does seem to make sense.
With Minato's mobility combined with Tsunade's monstrous strength, there's really no one in the world who could withstand such a violent attack.
He originally intended to use his position as a teacher to comfort Minato and properly guide this disciple from the parallel world.
But now it seems the other party probably won't give him that face.
Especially since this kid has even finished reading the Book of Sealing, which means he was raised as the successor to the Hokage in his original world, how could he possibly care about my mood?
No wonder he had such a violent temper; he killed Danzo without a word.
So she was a disciple trained by Tsunade—
That's not surprising!
While the two were talking, inside the Hokage's office building, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two advisors were also looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh no, we've got the wrong person!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped his forehead, his face full of annoyance.
Koharu Utatane was also speechless: "Stop saying such useless things, hurry up and send someone to inform Tsunade."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and immediately sent someone to find Tsunade.
Meanwhile, inside the training ground, Minato was curiously observing Jiraiya.
"Could I be a disciple of Jiraiya-senpai in this world?"
"What's wrong?"
Jiraiya squinted: "Minato of this world doesn't know Wood Release. I've taught him everything I can. Is it beneath you to be my disciple?"
"No, it's just strange."
Minato ruffled Naruto's hair, saying, "I thought everyone around me in this world was dead."
O
One sentence left Jiraiya speechless.
His face flushed red instantly, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Does that mean he didn't know Naruto's identity?
The higher-ups did indeed conceal Naruto's identity, but given his relationship with Minato and his wife, is Naruto's identity really that hard to guess?
With his blond hair, blue eyes, and surname Uzumaki, anyone familiar with Minato's family background could easily guess Naruto's identity.
Is it true that he has been searching for the prophesied child all these years?
That's even more unreasonable!
It's not like I'm asking you to take any responsibility. You're a secretary, after all. Haven't you even bothered to look at me for years?
As for the claim that higher-ups forbid people from getting close to Jinchūriki, that's just a joke.
Why would he need to worry about higher-ups when he's just taking care of a child?
"Feel sorry."
Jiraiya's throat tightened for a while before he finally managed to speak dryly.
"Why are you apologizing to me? I'm not the Watergate of this world."
Minato couldn't help but chuckle: "I stayed to take care of Naruto, firstly because Naruto can also be seen as my child, and secondly to accumulate experience in taking care of children in advance. However, thanks to Naruto, I've also seen some things more clearly."
Jiraiya's expression was complicated; he didn't know what to say.
He had never felt so speechless before.
Regardless of how you look at it, the village ultimately wronged Minato and his wife regarding Naruto's situation, and there's no denying that.
"Don't worry, I was trained to be Hokage after all. Even if you don't respect me, I'll still respect you. As long as you don't mess with me, I have no intention of targeting anyone."
Minato shook his head; it wasn't hard to guess why Jiraiya was here.
After all, he was Minato's teacher in this world, and also Naruto's mentor.
He'll have to leave sooner or later; he can't just offend everyone, pack his bags, and leave Naruto to pay the price.
"By the way, who is this old man?" Naruto tilted his head, looking at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression.
"This is Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and your father's teacher," Minato introduced.
Naruto said "oh" but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Jiraiya felt even worse.
Minato looked at Jiraiya: "We've finished our training for today. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
"Um, wait a minute!"
Jiraiya quickly stopped the two and pulled Minato aside.
Although he felt guilty towards Naruto and had nothing to say, there were still some things he needed to remind him of.
Jiraiya lowered his voice: "You're teaching Naruto to train using Shadow Clones, aren't you? The Nine-Tails' seal—"
Minato shook his head: "I've already talked to Kurama, and it won't interfere with Naruto's chakra circulation."
"???"
Jiraiya was completely bewildered.
Is this something that can be negotiated?
Then what's the point of having a Jinchūriki?
Worried that Minato might be deceived by Kurama, Jiraiya quickly said, "Listen to me, Minato, that Kurama is treacherous and cunning, and is most skilled at bewitching people—"
"That's what you think."
Minato shook his head and chuckled: "You were staying at home just fine, and then one day a madman named Uchiha Madara suddenly broke into your house, used genjutsu to control you and enslave you, and then a guy named Senju Hashirama captured you and locked you up in prison."
"Not only are you locked up in prison, but your body is also chained up, and they have to draw a bag of blood from you every few days. If you were in their shoes, would you give them a friendly look?"
Jiraiya: "————"
Seeing that Jiraiya still looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't, Minato sighed and raised his fist at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya instinctively clenched his fist, and the next second he appeared in the sealed space inside Minato's body.
Jiraiya was momentarily stunned, feeling a shadow looming over his head. He instinctively looked up, then froze on the spot—
