The strongest assistant of the fourth generation

Jiraiya once thought that it was too early to accept a disciple at the age of twenty-two? As the third generation's proud disciple, many famous families in Konohagakure wanted to be his disciples, but the white-haired immortal always felt that accepting disciples at this age was a waste of his youth.

This idea finally changed today.

Originally, he was just entrusted by the Sandaime to teach the children a lesson in the art of substitutes, but Jiraiya, who had just arrived, saw a battle that even he couldn't help but marvel at... That black-haired kid has the ability to be a ninja. Necessary decisiveness and judgment, and not only that, he does have terrifying combat intuition...

If he had activated the Substitute Technique one minute earlier, he would have been easily seen through by the Sharingan just like last time. If he had activated it one step later, the kunai would have hit his body... In this suffocating close combat, he was fighting At the same time, he can calmly figure out the winning strategy - how similar this kid without any blood stains or special talents is to himself at the time...

Sometimes, appreciation is such a simple thing, there is not much special reason, it is just a change of emotion.

Well...well, no...it doesn't matter. In fact, you can become a disciple without graduating~

…

The so-called apprenticeship ended in a hurry. After Jiraiya asked for Zhenyu's personal information, he said that he would go to his house first and wait for him to come back in the evening. The smile that shriveled like an old chrysanthemum made little Zhenyu I couldn't help but shudder - come on, this old guy is not attracted by the young master's looks...

Zhenyong subconsciously turned around and looked at Minato, who was still young Shota - indeed he looked very beautiful too! The criteria for accepting disciples of a lustful immortal are not based on appearance... Although it is a bit rude to think so, it is undeniable that if you are really brave, it can be considered a mixed blessing - although being targeted by such an old pervert is nothing. It's a good thing, but at least it proves that you are still a handsome boy, right? ?

See, women are not the only ones who pay such attention to their appearance...

Jiraiya's appearance took away most of the attention, and it was not unacceptable to become a disciple of this guy... at least it was much better than that guy Orochimaru - Zhenyong just rejected Jiraiya just now Because in his impression, the war was about to break out soon... If a person with his small body really went on a frontal battlefield, wouldn't he be dead in a matter of minutes? ! I'm so stupid to be your little master. How comfortable it is to squat in school! ?

Well, but since the other party has relaxed the conditions to the point where he doesn't have to graduate, then he has nothing to complain about~ Besides, as a disciple of Jiraiya, he is naturally branded as a member of the Hokage line, and the old Uchiha If the ghost wants to take action against him, he may have to think carefully.

Overall, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages~

Having figured everything out, Zhenyong silently touched the back of his head, showed an innocent smile, and then quickly threw himself into sparring with Minato. It's a pity that he, who was still young at this time, didn't know anything. The scene that just happened in the ninja school would be the beginning of his misfortune in this life...

—————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————————Teacher’s dividing line—————— —————————————————————————————————————————————— ———————————————————————————————————————

Different from teachers in ninja schools, in the world of ninjas, after graduating from school, students will follow a leading teacher to form a combat team to continue learning, and this bond between master and apprentice is sometimes even stronger than the family - Ninja Techniques, training experiences, and even life insights, it can be said that the person who has the greatest influence on a ninja is his teacher.

Therefore, apprenticeship is very important in the eyes of ninjas. Whether or not you can meet a good teacher will determine the future achievements and path of a ninja to a large extent.

When Jiraiya came to the Senju clan's camp, Nanmu and Mizuho were actually very surprised. After all, compared to the Senju of Mori in The End of the Hero, this person was a well-known figure in Konoha Village.

Yeah~ Actually, it's nothing. The main purpose of visiting today is for your son.

You mean really brave?

That's right. Master Jiraiya rubbed the back of his head habitually. In fact, I have accepted him as my disciple today, but he is still in the ninja school. I just want to meet Zhen Yong first. Parents say hello.”

Ah, that's it! Mizuho standing aside covered his mouth in surprise. Although he and Nanmu were both jounin-level masters, compared with the young man in front of them, they had absolutely no chance of fighting. Strength... There have been rumors for a long time that the three disciples of Lord Hokage are actually very close to Kage level strength. It turned out to be so when they saw it today. Please come in quickly.

Aha, then I'm sorry to bother you.

…

That night, Jiraiya had a very pleasant family dinner with the two boys at the Senju Mansion. Of course, while changing cups and cups, the lustful immortal seemed to have discovered a piece of jade again - a kid with golden hair, who seemed to be called Namikaze Minato.

It’s hard to tell about his actual combat power and potential, but his clear and firm eyes and sunny personality are very much in line with Jiraiya’s taste… I mean the taste of taking on a disciple!

Ah, I'm really full~

In the courtyard after the meal, Jiraiya and the two brats were chatting comfortably. Compared to Minato, who was still a bit restrained, Shinyu seemed very calm.

I said, master. Zhenyong scratched his hair boredly, As promised beforehand, I am not as good at water and earth attributes as Minato, but I... Zhenyong even had a bit of a joke on his face - —He hastily accepted me as his disciple without doing any investigation. When he found out the truth... Hehehe, let this old guy regret it~ Since he agreed to it, he is just a dog-skin plaster, and he will never be able to get rid of it in this life~

Having said that, according to the strategy of hugging the thigh, this time I hugged a very thick thigh.

I don't even have one attribute.

Yeah?

…

The white-haired man said this. He looked at the sky calmly. The smile in the corner of his eyes never faded, but became more gentle. That expression was an image that Zhenyong would never forget in his life.

As a child, he could only look up at that profile face, but that casual yet rare smile would be etched in his heart forever.

That's really interesting~my disciple~

…

There was a strange feeling. It was like the first time for him, who had lived in this world for nine years.

…came alive.
