Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Jiraiya could only awkwardly say, "I'll be more careful next time, I promise!"

"Hmm, never mind." Kushina shrugged. "You guys chat, I'll go cook!"

Obviously.

Kushina was already immune to Jiraiya's assurances.

next time?

It was still a broken window; she was already used to the door.

Chapter 321 Minato's Ambition, Is King Jin the Son of the Devil?

In the study.

Minato Namikaze was making tea, while Jiraiya looked on with a sigh.

Yes.

He never imagined that he would become a grandmaster in the blink of an eye after only a few years away.

Looking at the three little ones downstairs, his feelings were very complicated.

"Teacher, have some tea!"

Minato Namikaze poured Jiraiya a cup of tea, a smile playing on his lips.

His eyes were very bright.

Unlike when he faced Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had genuine respect for the teacher in front of him.

Jiraiya nodded.

After a few brief reflections, he began to speak while sipping his tea.

"I really didn't expect that."

"The boy I left is now the famous Yellow Flash of the ninja world, and he even has three disciples."

Time flies!

"Little Watergate, how's things going lately, '883'?"

Jiraiya was very casual.

Perhaps it was his nature, but in addition to Minato, he also took in three other apprentices outside the village.

But, actually.

His favorite is still Minato Namikaze.

The reason is simple.

First of all, he was a Konoha ninja, from the same village as Minato.

But more importantly, it's Minato's personality.

Sunny, cheerful, and full of a sense of justice.

In this respect, the two are quite similar in personality.

of course.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Minato as his disciple in the first place.

only.

His casual remark instantly silenced Minato.

"What's wrong?" Jiraiya asked, looking bewildered. "Are you having a bad time?"

Yes.

Seeing Minato Namikaze remain silent, Jiraiya was instantly dumbfounded.

You know, that's just a polite remark!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing Jiraiya's question, Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment before finally speaking with a bitter expression.

"um, yes."

"I'm not happy at all; on the contrary, I'm having a terrible time."

"Jin Jun is right about something: sometimes it's better for people to be a little ignorant."

"The more you know, the less happy you become."

"It's better for people to be a little oblivious!"

Minato Namikaze looked on with a sigh.

His eyes were filled with confusion, and even a hint of pain.

Yes.

Don't be fooled by his sunny and cheerful demeanor; it's just a facade.

Even when facing Uchiha Jin, he found it difficult to drop his pretense.

But things are different now!

Facing Jiraiya, his closest and most beloved teacher, he had absolutely no intention of pretending.

It's like how a child can't help but want to tattle on an adult.

Minato Namikaze was similar.

Only in front of Jiraiya did he truly resemble a child.

Even though he has grown up and become the famous Yellow Flash in the ninja world, in front of Jiraiya, he is still the same ordinary ninja academy student who almost cried when he first met Jiraiya.

He did not hide anything.

She poured out almost all the troubles she had encountered in the past few years.

Especially the darkness of Konoha.

Danzo's sinister experiments, Hiruzen Sarutobi's indulgence, and the persecution of the Uchiha clan...

There are countless varieties.

of course.

Minato Namikaze was selective in his approach to matters concerning the Nine-Tails, especially regarding King Uchiha's speculations about Mount Myōboku, and even more so, his hostility.

He didn't mention these things.

Because he knew.

This teacher of mine is good in every way, but when it comes to Mount Myoboku, he's as stubborn as a donkey.

They could even be described as completely devoted!

Even if he told it himself, Jiraiya would never believe it.

in contrast.

He would also tell the great toad sage of Mount Myōboku about this.

Jiraiya's trust in Mount Myōboku had reached the point of blind faith, even superstition.

"Oh, I see!" Jiraiya's expression changed slightly: "Minato, you've grown up!"

"Teacher, I'm genuinely surprised. I never imagined that Minato himself would discover these sordid things!"

"How embarrassing!"

"Don't you feel that the real Konoha is different from what the Ninja Academy and your teacher taught you?"

"But there's nothing we can do."

"Teacher, I don't want to lie to you either, but many things are too dirty for you to know."

“You were too young then.”

"Knowing these things too early will only drive you to extremes."

"Don't blame the teacher, okay?"

Jiraiya's expression was serious.

He did not deny it at this moment, and his tone was terrifyingly sincere.

He rarely has a serious expression, but he can't be silly at this moment.

even.

A bitter expression graced his face, and his eyes were filled with boundless pain.

Yes.

If Minato Namikaze knew something, how could he not know it?
