Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 4: Another water gate!

crunch.

The door opened.

Inside the classroom, the three held their breath and stared intently at the door.

but.

After a long while, the person outside did not come in.

Who is this person?

That's so disgusting.

Jingyan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

next moment--

A figure stepped in.

"Have you three been waiting long?"

With a head of white hair and a prominent "oil" mark on his forehead, he looked particularly striking.

Clothing and accessories...

They are all familiar with each other.

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened.

Kakashi was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it for a moment.

Jingyan was also shocked.

How could it be Jiraiya?

This person is one of the Legendary Sannin. I had never heard of Kakashi being led by Jiraiya before.

but.

He quickly realized what was happening.

Things are unpredictable.

Although it may be a bit presumptuous of me, perhaps it was just my own butterfly, with its tiny wings flapping, that affected everything.

He took a deep breath, his voice barely concealing his excitement.

"Are you... are you Lord Jiraiya?"

Jingyan understood.

I can't appear too bland.

The person before me is none other than Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. Many ninjas in Konoha Village idolize him. As an ordinary civilian ninja, I should show shock and excitement upon seeing him.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Haha, you're my subordinates for now. Let's go, let's go to a more spacious place and have a chat."

"yes!"

……

The rooftop of the teaching building.

Jiraiya sat on the edge, while the three people in front of him stood obediently.

His gaze swept over the three of them.

"You all probably know me, so I won't introduce myself. You can get to know each other, tell each other what you like and dislike."

"Kakashi Hatake, Chunin, skilled in swordsmanship and lightning release, has no particular likes, but hates people who break the rules."

Kakashi is cold and direct.

Kurenai was very nervous, clutching the hem of her clothes, and stammered, "Lord Jiraiya, my name is Kurenai, I am skilled in illusion magic, I like wasabi octopus, and I hate cake."

"Yoshimine Kyohiko is currently more skilled in physical combat, enjoys training and becoming stronger, and hates... war."

"Kyohiko said."

This was the result of his careful consideration.

He enjoys cultivation and hates war.

These answers are consistent with their background, do not reveal more information such as their daily preferences, and avoid any discrepancies or conflicts with their previous statements, thus avoiding unnecessary suspicion.

Over the past year, he has preferred to cultivate alone, and he also has concerns about this.

Jiraiya paused slightly.

"Okay, I understand."

His smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "Now that we've gotten to know each other, let me make some things clear. The Hokage thinks you all have great potential, so he asked me to mentor you, but..."

Jiraiya glanced around.

"I don't believe any of you have the potential to serve as my subordinates. Tomorrow morning, you will go to Training Ground No. 7 for a comprehensive assessment of your abilities. If you fail..."

He said coldly, "You will all be sent back to the Ninja Academy. As for you, you are a Chunin, so you can join the other teams. Of course, if you think they are not capable enough to be on your team since they have just graduated, you can quit now."

Kakashi glanced at the other two.

Kyohiko and Kurenai remained silent.

but.

The reasons for the two are not the same.

The former vaguely guessed that this question itself was a test, and that Jiraiya's team was probably mainly targeting Kakashi, but the specific reason for this change was unclear...

He didn't know.

Kurenai, on the other hand, was worried.

Kakashi is, after all, a Chunin...

Kakashi Hatake didn't answer immediately. He looked at them carefully for a while and said, "I don't think they are capable of completing the assessment task."

Jiraiya remained expressionless.

"You want to quit?"

"No, I want to try."

Kakashi answered.

Jiraiya nodded: "Okay, what about you? If you withdraw, the village will arrange another teacher. My assessment will definitely be more difficult, but you might pass if you go to someone else."

"I want to participate."

Jingyan did not hesitate.

Being a student of the Three Ninja is no ordinary opportunity.

There was no reason for Kurenai Yuhi to back down.

"Very good, then you have an afternoon to prepare. Oh, and remember not to eat breakfast tomorrow morning, otherwise, hehehehe!"

Jiraiya's figure vanished in an instant.

Only three people remained on the rooftop.

Jingyan took the initiative to say, "Let's go to the outside of Arena 7 together and take a look. We can also train together and get to know each other's abilities."

"The assessment is a task. If you are not capable enough, I will abandon you without hesitation."

Kakashi snorted coldly.

Then, he vanished in an instant.

Kurenai said with disgust, "How could he do this..."

"His direction is the training ground, let's follow him."

As Jingyan spoke, he vanished in an instant.

Kurenai quickly followed.

Ahead, Kakashi glanced back and saw the two catching up, so he secretly observed them.

Yoshimine Kyohiko...

His speed is quite fast, and he seems to have mastered the Instantaneous Movement Technique well; his strength might be considerable.

But the other one is more difficult.

However, she is skilled in illusion magic, which is somewhat useful.

Kakashi continued running forward.

He didn't notice—

Hidden in the shadows, Jiraiya was always following behind.

"That silver-haired brat really doesn't consider his teammates at all. On the contrary, that kid, who is obviously faster, keeps a considerable distance in order to match Red's speed."

Jiraiya found Kyohiko more and more pleasing to the eye.

This child is not only smart, but also incredibly thoughtful and able to take care of his teammates.

If guided properly, it might become another watergate.

If the guidance is inappropriate...

His heart sank, and the image of another teammate flashed through his mind.

Hey!

I have no idea what Orochimaru has been up to lately.

Since Nawaki's death and Tsunade's departure, Orochimaru has become increasingly strange.

"However, in this situation, it's not just about taking care of your teammates."

……

"Hong, the training ground area is dangerous. I'll stop him, and the three of us will go in together later."

"stop?"

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned.

Then, she saw Jingyan disappear instantly.

Upon closer inspection, the other party had already chased after Kakashi, and in the blink of an eye, Kyohiko was already not far behind Kakashi.

Kakashi was even more surprised.

He was confident that his speed was the best among his peers, and the only one who could compare to him was Might Guy, who was also training desperately.

As for Ryōmine Kyohiko...

Although they were classmates, they were only in the same grade for one year, so he didn't have a deep impression of them at all.

however.

The speed just now...

Is his teleportation technique that strong?

Kakashi, eager to compete, used his Body Flicker Technique at full power, making him even faster than before.

but.

The next moment, Kyohiko was in front of him, his hand on his shoulder.

Amazing!

Kakashi's pupils contracted.

Even with all my strength, I still can't match my opponent—

Unless he uses Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his physical activity, but he is not yet able to master that technique well, and improper use could harm himself.

"Kakashi, the Forest of Death is quite dangerous. Let's all go in together."

He paused slightly as he spoke.

"Although you are a Chunin, the Hokage said that team combat is never a one-person battle. You have to consider the rest of the team."

Kakashi remained silent.

The reason I was unhappy just now was simply to take care of Kurenai Yuhi?

He stopped and carefully examined the person in front of him.

Yoshimine Kyohiko.

There are classmates with such amazing abilities at school...

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Kurenai finally caught up, her forehead covered in fine sweat, but beads of sweat gathered at her temples and dripped down.

Jingyan said, "It's okay, we're a team, we should stick together."

Kakashi didn't say anything, but jumped down.
