Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

A battle that seemed like a test ended hastily. Jiraiya pulled Minato, who looked doubtful of life, and the two of them walked towards the Senju clan together.

After crossing the Konoha River, the two passed by a ninja shop called Mantendo. Not far ahead was the place where Naoki and Orochimaru had dessert together.

It's interesting to say that since Orochimaru became the captain of the ANBU unit, he actually moved his secret base to the vicinity of the 'Kanurigan' dessert shop that sells pudding. He called it the euphemistic name to make it easier to exchange information with everyone.

Of course, Naoki would not expose the fact that Mr. Orochimaru might be an avid dessert lover, and expressed his strong approval and recognition of Mr. Orochimaru's move. Orochimaru was very satisfied with this, and the relationship between master and disciple became more harmonious.

The news that the chuunin selection was about to begin had spread among the genin of Konoha, and the ninja tool business in Mandiando suddenly became booming. There is an endless stream of genin coming to buy training equipment and ninja tools every day, which makes the boss of Mandiantang smile.

The genin who hurriedly came to buy ninja tools through the crowd of people saw Jiraiya and Minato coming down from the Konoha Bridge at a glance.

No way, the characteristics of these two people are too obvious.

A tall, wild, white-haired man paired with a sunny, handsome, gentle boy with blond hair. The scene of walking side by side immediately touched the scene in Naoshu's memory.

After thinking about it for a moment, Naoshu waved his hand and said hello to the two people coming from the opposite side.

Brother Jiraiya, Minato!

Jiraiya, who was chatting with Minato about his experience in collecting materials, raised his head when he heard a familiar shout, and a big smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He walked through the crowd with long strides, came to the front of Shengshu and the others, and put his arms around Shengshu's shoulders. He wanted to touch the head of the rope tree again, but found that the rope tree had grown as tall as him, so he had to gently beat the rope tree on the chest.

Jiraiya nodded to Fugaku and Hizashi as a greeting, and then turned his attention to Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Long time no see! Orochimaru, Tsunade!

A smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips and he nodded slightly.

Jiraiya, long time no see!

A subtle smile flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but she snorted softly.

Hmph! What a coward, you actually hid in the Kingdom of Rain for four years before coming back. You might as well die outside!

Jiraiya let go of the rope tree and scratched his head.

Haha! Tsunade, am I back?

Hmph! Still not serious.

Tsunade glanced at him, but a smile appeared on her lips.

Jiraiya, welcome back!

Jiraiya's hand that was touching his head froze, and Tsunade's words were like a ray of sunshine that instantly penetrated his body and mind.

Seeing Jiraiya's dazed expression, Naoki felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help coughing.

cough!

Brother Jiraiya, just come back!

Originally, I was waiting to introduce you to Minato after you arrived at the Senju clan, but I didn't expect that you have already met!

How's it going? Are you satisfied with Minato?

A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Jiraiya's face.

Yeah! Minato's talent is indeed pretty good!

Naoki, finally you haven't forgotten brother Jiraiya.

I accept this disciple!

From today on, Minato is my successor, Jiraiya!

In this ninja world, the meanings of disciple and successor are completely different.

A teacher can teach multiple disciples. Although there are some feelings, the disciples mostly learn some ninjutsu knowledge from the teacher and do not have a deeper bond.

The successors are different. The teacher will pass on everything he has learned to his successors, including thoughts and nindo. It's like the difference between a master and a master. It's a real relationship like master and apprentice and father and son.

Although Orochimaru and Tsunade were a little surprised by Jiraiya's decisiveness, with Minato's character and talent, it was worthy of Jiraiya's decision.

Orochimaru glanced at the rope tree and looked at Jiraiya with a smile.

Jiraiya, congratulations!

Jiraiya nodded towards Orochimaru with a proud look on his face and let out a hearty laugh.

Naoki looked at Minato with a troubled expression and stepped forward to give him a push.

Minato, why are you looking like this?

Aren't you happy to be a disciple of the Sannin?

Minato glanced at Jiraiya, who was laughing, and quietly leaned close to Naoki's ear.

Nawaki-senpai, when I first met Jiraiya-sama, he was peeping outside the women's bath.

Although it is very happy to have the Sannin as my master, but Jiraiya-sama's hobby

Everyone present was not a powerful leader among his peers. Minato's words that he thought he whispered were as clear as shouting, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

Jiraiya's laughing movements suddenly froze, as if he was petrified on the spot.

Tsunade's fists clenched tightly, her eyes seemed to burst into flames, and she punched Jiraiya in the eye sockets.

Jiraiya!

You bastard! You still won't change your ways!

I just returned to Konoha and went to spy on a woman taking a bath! See if I don't beat you up!

Jiraiya covered his eyes, quickly jumped behind Minato's rope tree, and explained hurriedly and loudly.

Tsunade, please listen to my explanation, it's not what you think!

I hid there on purpose just to test Minato!

If I wanted to take a peek, how could Minato find out!

When Tsunade heard Jiraiya's explanation, she felt that it seemed to make some sense. But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.

If you don't hide in so many places in Konoha, why do you hide outside the female soup?

Jiraiya was stunned and suddenly fell into thinking. He really couldn't think of any reason to explain this.

Tsunade immediately understood that Jiraiya was making excuses, and her anger suddenly surged. She gritted her teeth and punched the rope tree in front of Jiraiya and flew away.

You are indeed lying to me! Let me see if I don't beat you to death today!

Minato trotted over to the knocked-out rope tree and helped him up from the ground. Naoshu looked helpless as his sister went berserk, all his strength was completely useless.

Senior Naoki, are you okay?

Naoshu shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to talk.

Minato scratched his hair, looked at Tsunade who was chasing Jiraiya and beat him with confusion, and asked in confusion:

Nawaki-senpai, although I also think it's wrong for Jiraiya-sama to spy on women, can this be regarded as a personal hobby?

Why are Tsunade-senpai so angry? She wasn't inside just now?

Naoki turned his head and stared at Minato with burning eyes.

Minato, keep talking!

If you can speak, speak more, lest you have no chance in the future!

Minato was startled and looked at the rope tree blankly.

Tsunade, who was chasing Jiraiya, suddenly stiffened, the blush on her face suddenly spread from her forehead to her neck, and she turned to look at Minato with murderous eyes.

Minato shrank his neck, swallowed hard, and quietly hid behind the rope tree.

Naoki felt his sister's eyes falling on him and smiled awkwardly at Tsunade.

Sister! Hehe!

You see there are so many people on the street, why don't we just forget about it today?

Tsunade got the step and immediately put her fist away. He glanced at Jiraiya with evasive eyes, snorted, and turned around to leave.

Hmph! Boring!

Rose Tree, help that bastard heal, I'm going back first!

Jiraiya struggled to stand up from the ground, walked to the rope tree and asked for treatment, and gave a thumbs up to Minato who was hiding behind him.

Minato, you are indeed worthy of being my disciple, Lord Jiraiya!

Minato scratched his head, but he really wanted to say that he hadn't agreed to become a disciple yet!
