Under Jiraiya's strong opposition, the ninjutsu Needle Jizo is still called Needle Jizo.

What kind of invincible silver light shines like a needle? Go see the old man of Six Paths!

······

Not long after, under Jiraiya's guidance, Minato quickly mastered the defensive ninjutsu of Needle Jizo.

However, due to his hair, Minato's Acupuncture Jizo can only cover up to his waist, and no further down. And it is even more unthinkable to cover his whole body like Jiraiya did.

At the same time, Minato has no plans to grow his hair. Although this ninjutsu can only cover the upper body, it is almost enough for Minato. Besides, with his speed, there are not many people who can hurt him.

For this reason, Jiraiya felt a little regretful.

Minato with long hair, I really want to see him.

Suddenly, Jiraiya seemed to remember something. After struggling for a while, he decided to confess to Minato.

"Well, Minato, there's something I have to tell you." Jiraiya wanted to smile more naturally, but his facial muscles were a little stiff.

Hearing this, Minato lifted Jizo's needles and his hair returned to its original state, "Teacher, just tell me, I'll listen."

Seeing Minato listening attentively, Jiraiya was heartbroken and said quickly: "The thing is like this, a few years ago, we fought against Yugakure in the Land of Rain. Later, when the war was almost over, I and I

Orochimaru and Tsunade met three children together, and then..."

Soon, Jiraiya told Minato what happened after he separated from Orochimaru and Tsunade, including what he taught Yahiko, Nagato and Konan.

After listening, Jiraiya looked at Minato with a worried expression, fearing that Minato would have any objections to him as a teacher.

It is true that he did something wrong in this matter, but... that is the Samsara Eye, the legendary eye of the Six Paths Immortal. If you just let it go, the consequences will be difficult to predict.

Whether it was to guide Nagato on the right path or to help Yahiko realize their dream of peace, Jiraiya felt the need to stay at that time.

However, even if this matter was correct in his opinion, he did feel ashamed of Minato.

The good master-disciple relationship turned out to be in name only because of him.

Fortunately, Minato's talent was high enough, and with the help of Enmon and others, Minato achieved what he has achieved today, otherwise he would have really delayed Minato.

Just when Jiraiya was feeling uneasy, Minato suddenly smiled, a bright and sunny smile.

"So, how many more junior brothers and sisters do I have now? Hey, it feels pretty good."

Minato's words surprised Jiraiya, but he still shook his head quickly: "No, no, they are not your junior brothers and sisters. I only taught them for a few years and did not accept them as disciples... Okay, okay

Well, after careful calculation, they are indeed your junior brothers and sisters."

Under Minato's look of "I believe you are a ghost", Jiraiya finally changed his mind.

Regardless of whether he accepted Yahiko or not, the reality of the teaching is there. Whether he admits it or not, Yahiko and the others are his disciples.

Jiraiya asked cautiously, "Um, Minato, do you mind?"

Minato looked at Jiraiya in surprise, "Jiraiya-sensei, why do you ask that? Why should I mind? Isn't this good?"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Jiraiya, why didn't you bring your junior brothers and sisters here this time? At least let me get to know them."

"Well, their status is inappropriate, and they have their own things to do now, so they won't come over." Jiraiya replied.

"Oh, then when I have the opportunity to go to the Land of Rain in the future, I must go and meet them. Their names are Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, right?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Yeah."

······

Afterwards, Minato and Jiraiya talked about their respective experiences in the past few years.

Slowly, the distance between the master and the apprentice became much closer, and they became more and more harmonious in getting along.

"Wait a minute, Minato, you said you rescued a Uzumaki tribesman in the Country of Grass?"

When Jiraiya heard that Minato rescued Uzumaki Vanilla from Kusagakure, he couldn't help but ask.

It's not that this thing is special, it's just that Jiraiya thought of Nagato from this. Although Nagato didn't say it, Jiraiya was sure that he was a Uzumaki tribesman. The red-haired one may not be a Uzumaki tribesman, but the huge one

Chakra cannot be faked.

As for why Nagato looked so weak, Jiraiya guessed that it was probably because of the legendary fairy eyes. These eyes were too much of a burden for a child, and they would be fine when they grow up.

Suddenly interrupted by Jiraiya, Minato was a little confused, but he still replied: "Yes, Vanilla is indeed from the Uzumaki clan, and she and Kushina know each other."

"Oh~" Jiraiya nodded thoughtfully. He thought carefully and decided not to reveal the identity of Nagato's Uzumaki clan.

What if other people find out and want to bring Nagato back to Konoha? The identity of the Uzumaki clan member may not be a problem, but those eyes...are definitely a huge trouble, so no one can discover it no matter what.

Moreover, in Jiraiya's view, if Nagato and Immortal Eye appear in the Land of Rain, they must have their mission. Apart from necessary teaching, he does not want to interfere too much.

If Nagato is really the prophesied son of the Great Toad Sage, then Nagato will definitely be able to bring peace to the ninja world in the future. Jiraiya firmly believes in it and has no doubt about it.

"It's okay, just keep talking."

This time Jiraiya didn't interrupt Minato again and listened until the end, which was now.

Through Minato's narration, Jiraiya roughly understood Minato's experience over the years, and couldn't help but nodded.

It can be heard that even without his guidance over the years, Minato has grown very well and now has the strength of a special jounin. If you include the Flying Thunder God, most jounin are no match for Minato.

Having such an achievement at the age of twelve is already very good when looking at the entire ninja world. Anyway, Jiraiya himself was far inferior to Minato when he was twelve years old.

But the next second Jiraiya suddenly reacted.

Hey, why do you feel that it is the same whether I have a teacher or not?

In the end, I became redundant?(?_?)

Jiraiya was immediately shocked when he realized this. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about it today. I'll go find Tsunade and Sakumo to catch up on old times."

After saying that, Jiraiya left without looking back.

"Hey, Mr. Jiraiya, are you going to stop discussing the naming of ninjutsu?" Looking at Jiraiya's back, Minato shouted, only to see Jiraiya walking faster.

······

After Jiraiya left, he first went to find Tsunade, but Tsunade was busy and ignored him and sent him away.

In desperation, Jiraiya had no choice but to find Hatake Sakumo.

I heard that Sakumo's son was born, so I went to congratulate him.

Oh, by the way, the new work I just wrote can be given as a gift to his son. I believe his son will like it after reading it.

After the three separated from Yahiko some time ago, Jiraiya suddenly became inspired and created a work.

Well, a very serious work called "The Legend of the Persevering Ninja". This is an inspirational work that he wrote with great pains.

"Alas, I was so pressed for time that I didn't even have time to contact the publisher."

"But it's okay. Good food never comes late. Once my book is published, it will definitely sell well!"

"When the time comes, hehehehe..."

Jiraiya was immersed in a sweet dream and laughed unconsciously. His laughter sounded particularly obscene, and he had a look of insanity on his face.

Hatake Sakumo, who happened to be walking out of the tent on business, saw Jiraiya and originally wanted to go up and say hello, but when he heard Jiraiya's obscene and intrusive laughter, he unconsciously took a step back.

Forget it, just pretend you didn't see him.

Hatake Sakumo was about to avoid Jiraiya, but Jiraiya woke up from a "sweet dream" just at this time.

"Hey, Sakumo, where are you going?"

Jiraiya stopped Hatake Sakumo, who reluctantly turned around and forced a smile on his stiff face: "Well, I'm about to go find Tsunade to help me change my medicine."

In desperation, Hatake Sakumo made up an excuse on the spot.

Jiraiya walked up to Hatake Sakumo in two or two steps, and naturally put a hand on Hatake Sakumo's shoulder.

"Don't rush there yet, I just went to Tsunade's place and she is busy."

"Oh." Hatake Sakumo nodded, then hesitated and said, "By the way, why are you here? I thought I saw you smiling just now..."

"I'm here to see you. I heard that your son was born. Congratulations, you are now a father." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"Thank you." Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly, and then added: "What about you, why don't you hurry up?"

"Me?" Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry. I am uninhibited by nature and love freedom. I don't want to enter the grave...of marriage so quickly."

Thinking that the man in front of him was already married, Jiraiya quickly changed his mind and replaced the grave with a palace.

Perhaps because he didn't want to continue on this topic, Jiraiya directly changed the topic and asked: "Have you decided on a name for your son? What is it called?"

"Get up, call Kakashi."

When he mentioned the word 'Kakashi', Hatake Sakumo's face softened a lot.

"Hatake Kakashi? What a name!" Jiraiya praised, then he fumbled around in his clothes with his other hand, and finally took out a book.

"What's this?"

Hatake Sakumo asked as he looked at the book Jiraiya handed him.

Jiraiya laughed and said: "This is a book written by me, and it is also a gift for your son."

"That's it, thank you."
