I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and said to Chiaki behind him, "Besides, he doesn't seem very smart either!"

"Who says I'm not smart!"

Naruto jumped up, "Does not becoming your disciple mean I'm not smart?!"

"who do you think You Are!"

He was a rebellious child; the more he felt something was wrong, the more he would argue back.

Unfortunately, Naruto's rebuttal this time was somewhat untenable.

"Is not it?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto in surprise, while Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Naruto as if he were an idiot.

Naruto sensed the strange atmosphere, his expression stiffened, and he stubbornly said, "What, am I wrong?"

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, turned around and waved to Chiaki, "Look, this guy really isn't very smart, maybe we should just forget about him?"

Chiaki helplessly rubbed his forehead, while Mirai chuckled to herself. In this situation, even the dumbest Naruto would realize the problem.

Although the man in front of me is said to be one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha and one of only two Super Kage in the world, is he really that powerful?

Is someone so powerful that not seeking a master would be considered foolish?

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'm entrusting him to your care. If Naruto becomes your disciple, Minato-senpai will surely be happy too."

Chiaki gracefully bowed to Jiraiya, and Naruto pricked up his ears.

Senior Brother Minato?

Jiraiya-sensei?

Is it possible...

"Idiot, hurry up and become a disciple!"

Kakashi slid up behind Naruto and gave him a sharp rap on the head.

"This Jiraiya-sama is the Third Hokage's personal disciple, and also the teacher of Chiaki-neechan and the Fourth Hokage."

"Compared to Chiaki-neechan, who is an authority specializing in medical ninjutsu, Jiraiya-sama is more adept at all-around combat."

"Whether it's ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, combat experience, or combat intelligence, he's among the strongest."

"If you don't become an apprentice of a teacher like this right in front of you, then you're truly foolish!"

Naruto was dumbfounded. What kind of monster was this? He originally thought Jiraiya was just a legendary Sannin of Konoha, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

"So...so this uncle...uh...is his ninjutsu even better than the Third Hokage's?"

Naruto asked in a low voice, "In everyone's mind in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as the 'Professor of Ninjutsu,' has unparalleled ninjutsu skills."

"This one……"

Kakashi turned to Jiraiya for help, honestly, he didn't know if Jiraiya's ninjutsu was stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi's.

"The old man is old."

After sensing Kakashi's gaze, Jiraiya waved his hand casually, "He's no match for me right now."

Naruto was somewhat skeptical of Jiraiya's words and shifted his gaze to Chiaki. He still trusted his godmother implicitly.

"The Third Hokage certainly had his own abilities in the research, understanding and combination of ninjutsu."

Chiaki smiled and explained to Naruto, "But in terms of the specialization and power of ninjutsu, Jiraiya-sensei is definitely superior."

The title "Professor of Ninjutsu" refers to Hiruzen Sarutobi's extensive knowledge of ninjutsu, not to the fact that he was invincible in ninjutsu.

"That physical technique..."

Naruto then asked, and Chiaki gave the same answer: "In taijutsu, he can easily defeat any ninjutsu-type ninja."

...However, they are not as good as taijutsu-type ninjas of the same level.

"Oh...where's the illusion?"

"That's right, they can easily defeat any ninjutsu-type ninja."

...Similarly, they are not as good as illusion-type ninjas of the same level.

"So awesome!"

Naruto was startled by what he heard, while Jiraiya touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, but straightened his chest.

Chiaki is right. After all, there are no taijutsu-type or genjutsu-type ninjas of the same level yet, so he is the strongest.

what?

A thousand autumns?

She doesn't count; this guy is a special type of ninja.

If Jiraiya were to fight Chiaki, he would probably be dragged down to his death by Chiaki.

"Then... I'll reluctantly become your disciple!"

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly and said to Jiraiya, "Uncle, could you take me as your disciple?"

If I become Jiraiya's apprentice, I should be able to defeat Sasuke, right?

He glanced at Sasuke furtively; Sasuke's eyes were filled with envy.

Sakura has Chiaki, a Kage-level ninja, directly teaching her. Judging from Chiaki's demeanor, Jiraiya will definitely be Naruto's teacher as well, leaving only herself.

Kakashi can teach me, but Kakashi is only at the Kage level, the gap is huge!

"Hmph, weren't you just looking down on me? I'm not going to teach you!"

Seeing that Naruto had accepted him, Jiraiya put on airs instead.

What, you say you don't want to become an apprentice and then you don't, and you say you want to become an apprentice and then you don't? Don't I have any dignity?

"Oh, Uncle Jiraiya, tell me, how can I become your apprentice!"

Naruto got impatient and challenged Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's eyes darted around. This kid was Minato's son, and Chiaki had asked him to take him in. He would definitely take him in, but he would have to make things difficult for him and give him a taste of his own medicine.

"I can take you in, but how about this: you find a way to hit me, and then I'll take you in!"

Jiraiya crossed his arms and chuckled at Naruto.

"If you can't even touch a hair on my head, then don't even think about becoming my apprentice. I don't need a student with such poor talent!"

"Okay! I accept this challenge!"

Naruto, his blood boiling, gave a thumbs up. "So what if I hit you once! Watch this!"

He charged forward headlong, launching a barrage of attacks on Jiraiya.

However, Jiraiya easily dodged Naruto's attack and even started taunting him.

"No, no, no."

"Too slow, too slow."

"Didn't you eat?"

Chapter 593 We Have Changed the Future

"Holy crap, who is this guy...?"

Kakashi, who was watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded. Although he knew Jiraiya's various achievements and knew that this guy was incredibly strong, he was still stunned.

Knowing about it is one thing, but actually seeing it is still very impactful.

Naruto launched a frenzied attack on Jiraiya, but Jiraiya calmly dodged Naruto's attacks as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

At the same time, he would occasionally pat Naruto on the body, saying disgusted words while constantly correcting Naruto's attack posture.

Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, Naruto's attack looked quite professional, transforming from a mad dog into a wild wolf, with his punches and kicks carrying a fierce momentum.

It has to be said that Naruto's talent is truly remarkable. He fights entirely based on his physical instincts, meaning he is a pure talent-based player.

Under Jiraiya's tutelage, Naruto completely memorized the offensive techniques, forcing Jiraiya to go from taking an old man's stroll to strolling leisurely like a middle-aged man.

"Not bad, not bad, you were just a hair's breadth away from meeting me."

Jiraiya marveled at Naruto's extraordinary talent, and as he strolled leisurely, he extended his index finger and thumb, gesturing a universe towards Naruto.

Just a tiny bit more and you're almost there! Keep going!

"Damn it..."

Naruto was panting heavily, but for some reason, he felt particularly smooth fighting today. The places that used to hurt when he punched Jiraiya no longer hurt, and his posture had also changed a lot.

"This kid is incredibly lucky."

Kakashi sighed. If his old man, who was now walking his bird and forging iron, had taught him like that when he was learning, he probably would have succeeded much sooner.

However, given Sakumo Hatake's teaching methods, he probably won't be able to achieve what Jiraiya has done in his entire life.

What the hell? Jiraiya is not only incredibly strong, but he's also a teaching genius?

Not only Kakashi was sighing, but Chiaki, who was embracing the future, was also sighing. In the entire ninja world, the person with the strongest teaching ability, apart from that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi, was Jiraiya.

No one else can compare to the two of them.

This teaching ability is simply inherited from the same source; it's terrifying.

Even though Jiraiya wasn't as strong back then, he could still teach me with ease, and Chiaki learned the most from him.

This is why, even though all three of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha were Chiaki's teachers, Chiaki always called Jiraiya "Teacher Jiraiya."

Tsunade is Chiaki's older sister and the one who started Chiaki's medical ninjutsu journey. Chiaki later learned all of Chiaki's medical ninjutsu on her own.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, is a research partner, someone who learns together with the world and nature, like a classmate.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, was Chiaki's mentor in ninjutsu and the one who laid a solid foundation for Chiaki's path as a ninja. He was more than worthy of being called Chiaki's teacher.

Asking him to teach Naruto is practically the most valuable resource in the entire ninja world.

Sakura and Sasuke, standing to the side, naturally noticed Jiraiya's instruction of Naruto. Sakura was alright, as she had Chiaki as her teacher, so her learning progress wouldn't be slow. However, Sasuke's mentality became unbalanced.

Even though Naruto is someone I look down on and think can never catch up to me.
