Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 6 Jiraiya, you don't want anyone to know either...

Inside the Hokage's office.

"What are you planning to do? Perhaps you should be a little more patient with Kakashi."

The third generation looked at Jiraiya.

Kakashi is the biggest problem child.

but.

He was talented, and the Third Hokage couldn't bear to see him wasted, so he hoped that Jiraiya could also be lenient.

Jiraiya replied, "If it truly comes to an outcome we don't want to see, then we can only say that we were destined to meet but not to be together."

"I'm gone."

He waved and disappeared from the office.

The Third Hokage sighed softly, his face still etched with sorrow.

……

The next day, Death Forest, Training Ground No. 7.

Kurenai arrived early, and then she noticed that Kyohiko and Kakashi had also arrived early and were sitting and resting under the tree.

She tiptoed around, not daring to make a sound.

Sit down and rest...

Always thinking about things!

Looking at the shadows of the trees above, Kurenai Yuhi felt a mix of emotions.

After a long time.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, something happened on the way, I'm late."

Jiraiya chuckled.

"Lord Jiraiya, you're too late!"

Kurenai glanced at the time.

In another hour, it will be noon.

but.

Upon seeing the three people in front of him, his smile immediately froze.

One of them wore a mask and had a cold gaze.

The other two remained calm.

"You two are very well-coordinated and united. Seeing this, I have even more confidence that you will pass the assessment."

Jiraiya coughed lightly and casually took out the bell from his waist.

"Kakashi, I don't know what your first test was like, but my test is very simple. You just need to grab the bell to pass."

Hey~

The bells jingled.

He hung the bell back up.

"Is there a problem?"

"Does it mean that grabbing just one item is enough, or do you have to grab them all?"

Kakashi asked.

Jiraiya said, "Considering the difference between us, you only need to grab one to be considered successful. However, the one who performs the worst will be hung up without lunch and will participate in another separate assessment in the afternoon."

Kakashi took a deep breath and said nothing more.

Jiraiya looked at the other two.

"And you?"

"no problem."

Jing Yan said.

"Alright, let's begin. I'll give you some time to plan your tactics."

Whoosh!

In an instant, the three people disappeared from the spot.

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, thinking, "They went in a different direction? Could it be...?"

His heart sank.

Jiraiya had high hopes for Kyohiko, but if Kyohiko's vision and teamwork were so shallow, he would be very disappointed.

At the same time.

Kurenai Yuhi whispered, "Kyohiko, are we really not going to abandon Kakashi?"

"Of course we'll manage. We'll work together, devise tactics, and create opportunities for him. He's a Chunin; if he doesn't cooperate willingly, there's nothing we can do."

Jing Yan said.

Kurenai Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"So how do we fight?"

"We'll stall for time and draw their attention, then use traps and illusions in conjunction with Kakashi's positioning and a surprise attack to see if we can snatch a bell. Specifically, you'll use illusions, and then..."

"it is good."

……

"It has begun. You must obtain my bell before the hourglass runs out, or you will fail as well."

Jiraiya turned the hourglass upside down.

Then, he sensed his surroundings.

"Well hidden."

Jiraiya's lips curled into a slight smile.

These three kids, putting aside everything else, have very solid basic skills.

but.

However, one flaw was still overlooked.

Jiraiya walked forward, seemingly casually, but his steps were deliberate.

Kara!

A massive, bound log swept across from the front.

Jiraiya dodged in an instant.

but.

In an instant, he saw a figure in front of him twist and disappear.

Red Sunset?

Magical Tree Binding Kill!

The name of the ninjutsu flashed through Jiraiya's mind, and he instantly used chakra to disrupt himself.

In an instant, he broke free from the illusion.

however.

In the blink of an eye, several traps flew towards him at once.

Jiraiya vanished in an instant.

The next moment, he crouched on the tree, cautiously observing his surroundings.

These little devils...

None of them should be underestimated!

To everyone's surprise, the little girl from the Yuhi family had already mastered illusion magic of B-rank difficulty.

Before he could get a good look, two figures shot out.

Kakashi held the sword, while Kyohiko instantly appeared from below.

Jiraiya's lips curled into a slight smile.

then.

Ding!

He swung his kunai upwards, just in time to block Kyohiko's kunai thrust.

Without lingering, Jingyan vanished from his original spot and landed on another tree.

but.

"Good tactics."

Jiraiya's voice rang out from behind.

Jiraiya, who had just appeared, vanished in an instant.

It's a shadow clone.

Jiraiya immediately launched a flurry of punches and kicks, moving with incredible speed.

In a short while, Kyohiko and Jiraiya exchanged a few punches and kicks.

Your physical skills are pretty good!

Jiraiya was secretly surprised.

Kyohiko's skills...

Among genin, he is definitely top-tier; many chunin might not be as strong as him.

A thought struck him, and he immediately struck with force.

result.

Bang!

The figure in front of them turned into wood.

The real Kyohiko...

They have already fled in another direction.

good boy!

A hint of admiration flashed in Jiraiya's eyes.

He admired not only Kyohiko's skills and the speed at which he combined the Substitution Technique and the Body Flicker Technique, but also Kyohiko's judgment.

As soon as I used my full strength, the other party quickly ran away.

Such judgment demonstrates that Kyohiko is very calm.

Great!

"Over here!"

A giant log flew out from above, sweeping forward and heading straight for Jiraiya.

Kurenai cut down the trap to cover for Kyohiko.

but.

Jiraiya threw a punch, shattering the tree structure.

"If that's all there is to it, you will definitely not pass the assessment."

"Walk!"

Kyohiko knew very well—

Jiraiya didn't use his full strength!

In a real fight, the opponent could have easily used the Lion's Mane Technique directly, and the speed would have been even faster.

The opponent is, after all, one of the legendary Sannin!

Jiraiya's speed is currently maintained at a level that is slightly faster than his.

He needs to use traps or cooperate with his teammates to escape.

This is a question.

but.

He has brought Jiraiya to the place where he was needed.

Whoosh whoosh!

One after another, wooden rafts covered in spikes flew towards Jiraiya, who had jumped into the air, from all directions.

At the same time, two clones appeared.

One looks like Kyohiko.

The other one transformed into Kakashi.

The two "people" quickly ran towards Jiraiya.

The setting sun hangs on the tree, its hands forming a mudra.

In the blink of an eye, four or five wooden traps and two "people" were already in front of them.

In an instant.

His hair grew rapidly, spreading outwards and grabbing the first flying raft, while the others reached for the two men who were attacking.

Bang!

The clone immediately exploded.

This is an illusion created by Shinku Yuhi, a clone of Naraku.

An advanced clone illusion technique with added abilities.

Jiraiya had maintained his disordered chakra and was not affected at all, but at this moment, the wooden raft flying behind him instantly transformed into human form.

Kakashi gripped the rope, his blade flashing like a wild beast's fangs, and charged at Jiraiya with incredible speed.

Boom!

Jiraiya had no way to block the blade.

but.

A gentle breeze came from behind.

Kyohiko?

What a great speed!

Jiraiya was startled—

Although I already knew that Kyohiko's Body Flicker Technique was amazing, I was still horrified when I actually faced the full power of the Body Flicker Technique.

To master this level of teleportation at the age of 7...

It’s amazing!

not only that.

His punches, kicks, and body balance all surpassed the physical skill level of his age.

Who can compare to him...

Perhaps only Kakashi, and another eccentric boy.

not to mention.

At this moment, another Kakashi was attacking him.

Knife, kunai, fist.

There were also cherry blossom illusions appearing one after another.

The combination of the three is dazzling.

The next moment, the knife and fist struck simultaneously.

"Be careful!"

Jingyan immediately sensed something was wrong when his fist touched the target.

This is not a normal texture.

and.

With their mediocre skills, could they really pose a threat to Jiraiya?

Sure enough, Jiraiya turned into a puddle of mud.

This is the Earth Split.

"Above!"

Kurenai Yuhi immediately shouted.

Without needing to be told, Kakashi brandished his sword and charged forward to meet the attack—

A large net flew down from above.

The wooden rafts that had been held in place by the hair also began to rush towards the center.

Tear!

Kakashi slashed the net with his sword, creating a huge gash.

Before he could recover, Jiraiya had already arrived before him.

but.

Jingyan appeared in front of him in an instant.

Bang!

A solid clash of fists.

boom!

Kyohiko was slammed to the ground, but in that instant, he cried out, "Lord Jiraiya, you don't want anyone to know that you're always..."
