Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 16 Class Assignment

The classrooms at the Ninja Academy were already packed with people, with all the students from three classes crammed into one classroom.

It made the classroom feel a bit crowded.

At that moment, Jin walked in, looking exhausted.

"Here!" Kushina waved.

Minato Namikaze and Kiyoshi Hyuga were already seated, and a seat had been specially reserved for him.

Here we must thank Kushina, the little pepper, after all, no one dares to compete with the fierce Kushina for a spot.

Jin walked to her seat, slumped onto the table, and buried her head in her arms.

"Why do you always look so tired whenever I see you at school?" Kushina asked, puzzled.

Uchiha Kin rarely appeared in class, but whenever he did, he always looked exhausted.

Jin looked up at the three of them, his dark circles clearly visible.

"I had a sparring session with someone the day before yesterday, and I still haven't recovered."

Once Matt Damon opened the five-door defense, he simply couldn't stop him.

However, this time it was much better than the first time, lasting for several tens of seconds longer.

congratulations.

He suffered a severe physical injury and hasn't recovered in two days.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that his shadow clones didn't receive any brief training or learn ninjutsu.

"Who!?" Kushina was overjoyed.

"None of your business." Jin rolled his eyes, and looking at Kushina's expression, he knew she wasn't up to any good.

"Tch, I don't want to know anyway." Kushina pouted, pretending she didn't care.

Just as Jin was dozing off, he felt someone tugging at his clothes. When he looked up, he saw Minato Namikaze with a wry smile on his face.

And there's Kushina, who turned her head away.

Jin lay down again. Since she didn't want to know, he wouldn't tell her, and he'd just make her angry.

Minato Namikaze shrugged at Kushina; he was powerless to help.

Kushina clenched her fist silently, gritting her teeth without uttering a sound.

Caught between the two, Minato Namikaze cast a pleading look at Kiyoshi Hyuga.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Kiyoshi turned his head away.

Minato Namikaze sighed.

Jin ignored the complicated feelings of the two, and gradually drifted off to sleep amidst the noisy sounds of the classroom, like a lullaby.

It may also have a lot to do with the classroom.

Some people just sleep very soundly in the classroom.

In a blur, I heard people calling for the students in the class to leave the classroom.

Until I heard a familiar voice.

"Minato Namikaze... Kushina Uzumaki... Kin Uchiha! I am your team leader."

"Huh!?" Jin suddenly woke up and looked at the person who appeared at the classroom door.

Jiraiya!

He looked around and found that only the three of them were left in the classroom.

Jiraiya smiled as he watched Kin wake up.

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

Jin raised his hand to wipe his forehead, a cryptic smile appearing on his face.

"It's fear, isn't it?"

It seems the course of the Naruto world has been completely changed, even though he knows that his butterfly wings will eventually alter the course of history.

But I never imagined it would happen so soon.

The main issue is that Kushina actually became Jiraiya's disciple.

It should be noted that Kushina's strength in later generations was actually not very high. Apart from the sealing techniques passed down in the Uzumaki clan and the power of the Nine-Tails, she had nothing else to offer.

It's because she didn't encounter any good teachers after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

If I were to become Jiraiya's disciple, everything would change.

But why?

You should all know who I am.

Jiraiya stood on the podium and proudly raised his head.

Kushina: "A voyeur."

Minato Namikaze: "An unreliable Jonin."

Jin: "Hehe."

Jiraiya lost his footing and fell to the ground.

His image seems to have been ruined in the eyes of the students before they even realized it.

He stood up and dusted himself off.

"I think you have a big misunderstanding about me. In order to clear up the misunderstanding, let me reintroduce myself."

Before the others could reply...

Jiraiya began by introducing himself: "I am Jonin Jiraiya... As for what I like... I want to write a book. As for what I dislike... well, there's not much... My dream is peace in the ninja world."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and continued Jiraiya's self-introduction: "...I like reading...I don't have anything I particularly dislike...As for my dream...I want to become Hokage."

"I will become Hokage!" Kushina protested vehemently, and as she looked at the others, she began to introduce herself.

After Kushina finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Gin.

Jin sat in his chair, lost in thought, wondering what direction the history of the ninja world would take, and whether his precognitive abilities would still be of any use.

After all, besides his cheat-like abilities, this is also one of his advantages.

"Gold, it's your turn." Minato Namikaze patted Gold to bring him back to his senses.

"Me?" Jin stroked his chin. "My name is Uchiha Jin. I like tsundere blonde girls, gentle mature women with long, straight black hair..."

"Wait a minute!" Jiraiya hurriedly stepped forward and covered Gin's mouth. He was just introducing something he liked, not some strange fetish!

Didn't you see Kushina's hair flying everywhere?!

"Give me a proper introduction." Jiraiya punched Ging on the head.

This guy is completely unreliable.

Jin covered the bump on his head and rubbed it hurriedly. Jiraiya's hits really hurt.

"Okay, okay." Jin reluctantly gave in and then went on to explain her preferences.

"I love ninjutsu, all kinds of ninjutsu. I hate anything that is out of control. As for my dream, for now, I just want to live a few more years."

After all, his goal was immortality.

Let's set a small goal first: a thousand years.

"It really is true." Jiraiya looked Jin up and down carefully.

Although their personalities and appearances are unlike Orochimaru's, their core essence is extremely similar.

But he doesn't seem to be able to use ninjutsu. Is he a research-oriented talent?

Jiraiya knew that the four techniques they used were suspected to be invented by the Golden Hair.

No wonder he went to great lengths to ask me to take Uchiha Kin as his disciple.

"You haven't awakened some weird hobby, have you?" Jin couldn't help but cross his arms to avoid Jiraiya's gaze.

"Don't always steer the conversation in weird directions, kid!"

Jiraiya rubbed his fist on Kin's head.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Jin struggled to break free from Jiraiya's control.

Even Jiraiya, an elite Jonin, was not an opponent he could defeat.

"Alright, that's all for today. We'll meet at the training ground at 5 a.m. tomorrow. Remember not to eat breakfast, or you'll throw up."

Jiraiya wore a malicious smile.

You'd be a fool to believe you.

Jin looked up at the ceiling.

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 fierce 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 two were bound together by a bond that protected the village.

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

Orochimaru spoke again, his voice extremely low.

"Kim, how much do you know about the darkness in this 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. What is your purpose in appearing here?"

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

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

"Where is Jiraiya-sensei?"

"He has already agreed."

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

So why did he go through all that trouble?

Jin didn't understand, but he 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 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 vanished, leaving only the Child of Light and the Child of Darkness in the ninja world. They will bring about 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."
