Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

Jiraiya looked away and said, "I'll teach them on the way, but whether they can learn it depends on their abilities."

Are prophecies really that important?

Tsunade asked with a serious expression.

"The Lord's prophecies have never been wrong."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "For the sake of peace in the ninja world, some things have to be put aside for the time being."

"I do not believe."

Tsunade sighed and said, "Placing your hopes on vague prophecies is just a waste of time."

"..."

Jiraiya remained silent.

There was no rebuttal, but it also wouldn't waver.

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, the door was pushed open.

"Kid, how many times have I told you to knock?"

Tsunade smiled helplessly.

"Then should I go back and knock it a couple of times?"

Oil Girl Zhihui pointed to the door and asked.

"..."

Tsunade glared at him.

In front of outsiders, you still try to be glib?

One day I'll gag you so you can't speak.

"Uncle Jiraiya".

Oil Girl Zhihui took the initiative to greet him.

"Kids these days grow up so fast."

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

The last time he saw Shiki Aburame was when Tsunade had just become Hokage.

Suddenly, he let out a soft "hmm".

Is that the original necklace?

Jiraiya was also taken aback.

As one of the Legendary Sannin, he was well aware of the significance of the First Hokage's necklace to Tsunade.

Did they actually give it to Aburame Shiki?

This kid is something else!

"Jiraiya-sama."

Kakashi Hatake shouted.

"Yo, Kakashi, you're still the same as ever."

Jiraiya looked him up and down and said, "You seem very listless."

Kakashi Hatake didn't react to his teasing.

He's gotten used to it, and even wants to urge them to update in person.

After all these years, there is still no second installment of "Make-Out Paradise".

Are you not trying hard enough?

Of course, Kakashi Hatake only thought it to himself and didn't dare to say it aloud.

But he really wanted to see the second installment of "Make-Out Paradise".

"Kakashi, take a few days off."

Tsunade interrupted their conversation.

"...?"

Kakashi Hatake looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The Chunin Exams are just around the corner, how can I rest?

"I will temporarily take over Class Seven."

Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm taking them out on a mission."

"I see."

Kakashi Hatake was immediately relieved. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Jiraiya-sama."

"what's the situation?"

Naruto asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Naruto, who is this...?"

Kakashi Hatake was about to make an introduction when he was stopped.

"I will do it myself."

Jiraiya took half a step forward, jumped suddenly, raised his right leg slightly, and spread his arms.

"...?"

Kakashi Hatake looked puzzled.

Tsunade slapped her forehead, her face showing a murderous expression.

As for Naruto Uzumaki, he was startled.

"I am the White-Haired Child, the Toad Messenger, one of the three famous ninjas known to all, from east to west and north to south!"

Jiraiya maintained his pose, like a white crane spreading its wings, and said with a smug look on his face.

"Have not heard."

Naruto scratched his head and said sincerely.

Oil Girl Zhihui almost burst out laughing.

"Naruto."

Tsunade couldn't stand it any longer and said directly, "He is Minato's teacher."

"My father's teacher?"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly became excited, his eyes shining.

what?

Jiraiya was surprised.

He had been away for too long and had no idea that Naruto Uzumaki's true identity had been revealed.

But seeing Naruto's reaction, he realized something.

As expected of Tsunade.

He has more courage than the old man.

"good."

Jiraiya was pleased with the admiring look in his eyes and said, "I deserve at least half the credit for your father becoming Hokage."

"Amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed in admiration, then asked expectantly, "Do you think I can become Hokage?"

"you?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin and said, "We still need to work harder."

"What I have in abundance is hard work!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "I will definitely show you my shining youth!"

"...?"

Jiraiya subconsciously glanced at Tsunade.

What happened to this child?

"Alright, you can go and carry out your mission."

Tsunade skillfully changed the subject.

"What mission?"

Naruto was immediately drawn to the mission and asked, "Since it's Jiraiya leading the team, it must be a high-level mission, right?"

"Level A mission".

Jiraiya said casually.

"Great!"

Naruto Uzumaki, overcome with excitement, exclaimed, "Then let's go!"

Jiraiya's face showed a strange expression.

He's completely different from the calm and collected Minato.

It's quite sunny, though.

Jiraiya waved to Tsunade and then led them away from the Hokage's office.

On the way, Aburame Shiki and Uchiha Sasuke were both quiet, but Uzumaki Naruto caught him and kept asking him all sorts of questions.

It wasn't about what mission it was, but rather about Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Jiraiya was forced to recall a series of events, and in the end, he even felt guilty.
