Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"Understand what?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned and asked.

“Understanding the psychological motivations behind behavior.”

Jiraiya said calmly:

"Do you know what they were doing?

"Maybe there's a reason they have to do it?"

Jiraiya guided Sasuke to think.

"Huh, what else could it be?

"He must have gone to play in Tansho Castle."

In fact, on the way to the Hokage Building, Uchiha Sasuke had already figured out all the ins and outs of this.

These three guys set out earlier than me, but came back later than me.

Moreover, along the way, Asuma's 10th Class did not meet many people.

There is almost no other possibility except the situation I described.

The thought of those three people pretending to leave in front of me.

Afterwards, he secretly returned to the Short Book City.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

"So what?"

Jiraiya asked seriously.

"what?"

Uchiha Sasuke was somewhat surprised by Jiraiya's reaction.

"I mean, so what?"

Jiraiya repeated the question once again.

"But they are ninjas."

"Hey, don't make it too serious."

Jiraiya smiled disapprovingly and continued:

“You’re angry because you feel out of control.

“I know that you have always lived your life with great precision, restraint, and effort.

"But if you want to connect with others, you have to learn to accept and include uncontrollable factors in your life."

"So, I really don't want to be a teacher anymore."

Uchiha Sasuke did not deny Jiraiya's analysis.

After hearing the last part, Sasuke immediately and seriously made a request to his master, the Hokage, wanting to return to his own comfortable rhythm range.

"You are just talking in anger."

Jiraiya said calmly:

“You can make any decision, but don’t be emotional.

“Let’s get back to the specific issues of these three children.

“In fact, they did violate your orders.

"But did it happen during the mission?"

On this side, seeing Uchiha Sasuke's dissatisfied look, Jiraiya hurriedly continued:

"Then let me put it another way. Let's assume that your speculation is the fact.

“They did go to Tansho City secretly to play.

“Although I don’t agree with concluding where the children are without asking, I choose to believe your reasoning.

"So, do you think Uzumaki Naruto can do the same thing?"

"He will."

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then followed Jiraiya's question and gave his answer honestly.

"So, if someone takes the lead, will Inuzuka Kiba also go? What about Yamanaka Ino?

“Including yourself.

"After completing the mission, don't you want to relax?"

Jiraiya patiently tried to persuade Uchiha Sasuke to be more empathetic in this matter.

Sasuke probably understood what his teacher meant, and at this point, he had fallen silent.

"So, can you say that Uzumaki Naruto and others are not worthy of being ninjas?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiraiya finally delivered a fatal blow.

In an instant, Uzumaki Naruto's recklessness and responsibility, hard work and clumsiness emerged in Sasuke's mind at the same time.

In a way, Sasuke did feel that Naruto did not deserve to be called a ninja.

But sometimes, Naruto's outstanding performance made Sasuke feel that the above judgment was too hasty.

After all, what kind of person deserves to be called a ninja?

Too many labels are actually just prejudices and inherent cognitions in people’s minds.

".So, am I too strict?"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head and asked his teacher in confusion.

"It doesn't matter whether it's strict or lenient. Everyone has different personalities and corresponding leadership styles. There's nothing to blame, and there's no right or wrong."

Jiraiya looked into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes and said seriously:

"But as the teacher leading the team, you should remember the most basic point."

After a pause, Jiraiya emphasized his tone and said earnestly:

“Children are not your enemies.

“Be more tolerant and patient.

“Don’t forget who you were as a child.

"You have to talk to them with your heart, do you understand?"

What did you look like when you were a child?

In a trance, the figure of Uchiha Itachi and the image of his reliable brother flashed through Sasuke's mind.

Once upon a time, I was also a playful child who needed company and often acted like a spoiled child.

But now Uchiha Sasuke has completely forgotten that child.

So, have you forgotten that you were once a child and are unconsciously being too harsh on those guys?

Before he knew it, Sasuke felt suffocated.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and gasp for breath.

On this side, Jiraiya suddenly realized his slip of the tongue.

Just now, I was so focused on imparting my experience in "leading disciples" that I temporarily neglected Uchiha Sasuke's unique childhood.

He immediately placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and said softly:

"But no matter what, you are still just a child now.

"In the teacher's heart, you have done very well.

"If you are really tired, we can temporarily stop being the team leader."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke has calmed down again.

He raised his head, his face pale, and smiled weakly at Jiraiya, then said:

"No, I think I understand what you mean.

"However, I will replace my childhood self with the original Naruto."

Jiraiya was stunned at first, but on the other side, Uchiha Sasuke laughed.

The master and the disciple looked at each other and laughed.

Coincidentally, they both did not mention the name that had just appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Yes, changing to Naruto is a good idea. You are most familiar with him."

Jiraiya pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Children.

"Some of these behaviors are normal, as long as you treat them as human beings like you and be patient.

“From listening, to understanding. From understanding, to respect.

“When the atmosphere and timing are right, you as a teacher can offer your guidance and suggestions.”

"I understand."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded seriously and was about to get up and leave.

"Where to go?"

Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly called out to him to stop.

"Ah? Go

“Have a heart-to-heart conversation.”

Uchiha Sasuke replied stupidly:

"Didn't you just teach me that?"
