Kakashi later tricked Naruto in the same way.

...

He left the ninja academy and parted ways with Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

On the way home.

Jin, however, encountered an unexpected person.

The gloomy path was swept by a mournful wind.

A man dressed in a kimono, resembling a snake, stood in front of him.

His cool and aloof face didn't seem as evil as he appeared in the future; in fact, it even carried a hint of righteousness.

This damned timing is truly a butcher's knife.

"What do you think of the teacher I chose for you?" Orochimaru spoke first.

He knew it.

Jin sighed helplessly. It was Orochimaru who made him a member of Jiraiya's team.

"well enough."

You seem quite dissatisfied.

Orochimaru, on the contrary, became curious. Jiraiya was, after all, an elite Jonin, and becoming his disciple was something many people hoped for.

“I’m not dissatisfied,” Jin said, blowing on his bangs. “But I can feel that we’re not compatible.”

He didn't want to associate with charlatans; who knew if one day those toads of Mount Myōboku would label him a child of darkness?

Jiraiya might just kill him.

After all, he was a huge variable in relation to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

"Is that so?" Orochimaru remained noncommittal.

In the past, Jiraiya was his best friend, and the bond between them connected them, protecting the village.

But now he felt that he and Jiraiya were ultimately two different people.

Orochimaru spoke again, his voice extremely low.

"Jin Jun, how much do you know about the darkness in the village?"

Jin looked at Orochimaru with some surprise. Was this the kind of topic that could be discussed so casually?

He scratched his head, a naive smile on his face.

"The village is full of light, how could there be any darkness?"

Orochimaru stared at Kindred without blinking, and soon burst into laughter.

"It seems Mr. Jin knows a lot."

"Lord Orochimaru, please don't joke around. May I ask what your purpose is in appearing here?"

Jin directly questioned him, saying he had no intention of playing riddles with Orochimaru here.

"I hope that Kim will accept my guidance after tomorrow's event?"

Where is Jiraiya-sensei?

"He has agreed."

Jin looked up at Orochimaru's smiling face; his pale face was rather handsome.

So why did he go through all this trouble?

Jin didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.

Does this count as a NTR (Netorare)?

...

Jiraiya hid in a tree.

But his gaze couldn't help but drift to the two figures strolling along the street.

A blonde female ninja and a blue-haired male ninja.

Tsunade and her boyfriend, Dan Kato.

"It's still a step too late."

Jiraiya, secretly grieving, was writing and drawing in a notebook.

Tsunade's portrait quickly appeared on it.

Finally, he quickly blackened it out.

"Tsunade, I'm glad you've made it out of this." Jiraiya's smile was somewhat bleak.

Looking up at the starry sky, my thoughts drifted to the three students I had met that afternoon.

There's also a new prophecy from the Great Toad Sage.

"Little Jiraiya, I had another dream. I dreamt of light and darkness intertwined, and I also saw two different paths the ninja world would take."

"I don't understand what you mean."

"The Child of Prophecy has disappeared. Only the Child of Light and the Child of Darkness remain in the ninja world. They will bring new changes to the ninja world."

"And the course of fate will be determined by the victor among those two."

"The Child of Light has won, and the ninja world will usher in a long period of peace."

"What if the Children of Darkness win?"

"The ninja world will be plunged into perpetual strife and endless evolution. Ninjas will become gods, and the starry sky will become a battlefield, but endless battles will ensue."

"The children of light and the children of darkness will become your disciples. You need to guide them, teach them, and help them grow."

"Then make a choice."

Chapter 17 New Class 7

The training ground is covered with traces of training.

Just looking at it gave me the idea.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina leaned against a training pillar, waiting from morning until noon.

"Gurgle." Kushina clutched her stomach; she really hadn't eaten anything.

"Why aren't those two bastards here yet?"

Minato Namikaze rubbed his stomach; he was actually quite hungry, but he could still bear it.

Jiraiya and Uchiha Kin have not yet appeared.

Just as Kushina was furiously punching and kicking the wooden stake.

Suddenly, with a "bang," a cloud of smoke billowed out, and a giant toad appeared before the two of them.

A figure appeared on the toad, followed by a voice.

"The toad spirit of Mount Myōboku, the immortal Jiraiya, has arrived!"

Jiraiya made exaggerated gestures, shaking his head and swaying his body in a theatrical manner.

"Get down here right now!"

Kushina suddenly appeared behind Jiraiya and kicked him.

Jiraiya glanced at her, then simply shifted his body to the left to dodge Kushina's sudden attack. He then gently pushed Kushina from behind, sending her crashing down.

Kushina performed a somersault in mid-air and landed lightly and steadily on the ground.

Jiraiya chuckled. Sure enough, these kids' physical skills were not weak.

"Peng!"

As the smoke billowed out, the giant toad vanished.

Jiraiya landed lightly next to Kushina.

"Don't underestimate me. I was letting you guys off easy last time."

Last time, he was just testing these three brats, and ended up getting a beating.

Where can he go to seek justice?

"But what about that brat Jin?"

He glanced around but didn't see that brat Uchiha Kin at all. Could it be that he's not coming?

Jiraiya's expression darkened slightly. If that was the case, he had the right to send him back to the Ninja Academy.

Even Orochimaru wouldn't say anything; just because someone thinks they have talent doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

"I am here."

A large pile of withered yellow leaves was lifted up, and Jin emerged from among them, yawning.

He was lying in a large pit covered with leaves.

If you weren't walking on it, it would be hard to spot this large pit buried by leaves.

Jiraiya and the other two were completely unprepared for this turn of events.

"Ahem." Jiraiya coughed twice: "Making good use of the environment is also one of the essential lessons for a ninja."

"You absolutely didn't expect that!!" Kushina tore down the platform as soon as she saw it, showing no mercy to anyone.

Jiraiya clearly showed surprise just now; don't think she didn't see it.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Jiraiya quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, now we'll be conducting your ninja assessment."

"Hasn't the exam already been completed?" Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask.

He cares a lot about this matter.
