In fact, the children in the classroom didn't fully understand the concept of being a direct disciple of the Third Hokage. The reason why they were surprised was only because of the name of the Third Hokage.
The Hokage is the greatest ninja in this village. As long as he is in Konoha Village, whether a ninja or a commoner, an adult or a child, everyone respects him.
Only Minato and Mikoto knew that the Third Hokage's personal disciples were also among the top powerhouses in Konoha. They are the force that protects the village today. Even the patriarch of the Uchiha clan has to be courteous when seeing such a person.
Such a character actually came to the ninja school to teach students like them, who were not even ninjas yet. This could definitely be called great luck.
Although it was impossible for him to teach them advanced ninjutsu today, his experience as a ninja would be enough to benefit these children greatly.
Of course, it also depended on whether they could learn from it.
When Kushina heard the name Third Hokage, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes, but it was fleeting.
Seeing the heated atmosphere in the class, Shirota-sensei smiled and said, "Everyone go to the training ground. The special teacher will be here soon."
In the training ground of the ninja school, all the freshmen stood in a row, including Uchiha Yoruki, who had talked to Minato in the school corridor that day.
He was about the same size as Minato and slightly taller than children of the same age. He stood in the first row, while Minato stood silently in the back row.
The students behind Uchiha Yoruki could barely see the situation on the training ground through the gaps between the students' heads.
This kind of behavior attracted some annoyed looks, but most of them were from boys, because those who surrounded Uchiha Yoruki were all girls from their respective classes.
Born into a famous family, ranked first in the school year, and handsome, these qualities determined Uchiha Yoruki's popularity in school.
There were also quite a few girls who wanted to get close to Minato. In terms of appearance, Minato was even better than Uchiha Yoruki by a margin, but he didn't have the Uchiha background. In school, Minato's grades were only considered good.
Of course, this was the result of him hiding his true abilities.
But when he had gotten very angry and defeated Akasaka Yu with a single move, it had caused some rumors and speculation in the school year: Who is the real No. 1, Namikaze Minato or Uchiha Yoruki?
Uchiha Yoruki's eyes also subconsciously glanced at Minato, but the latter ignored his gaze directly.
Minato didn't dislike Uchiha Yoruki, nor did he have any particular affection for him.
Judging from his disregard for the feelings of the classmates behind him, this person must be domineering in the class.
It seemed that even his class teacher couldn't control him, given he was from the Uchiha clan.
Shirota-sensei and several other teachers stood aside, waiting with very respectful expressions.
"Yo, I kept you waiting for so long!"
In the training ground, a slightly smiling voice suddenly sounded, and at some point, a tall and laughing figure appeared in front of everyone.
No one there knew when he had appeared.
"So fast!"
The eyes of Minato in the last row froze. Because of long-term exercise, his visual nerves had improved a lot faster than ordinary people. Even so, he only vaguely saw an afterimage.
With such ghostly speed, if it were on the battlefield, a weak ninja might not even see his opponent clearly before being instantly killed.
Minato and everyone's eyes were on the man. The most striking impression of him was his long white hair, which was longer than that of Mikoto and Kushina, who had long hair in the class.
The man looked like he was in his early 20s, and he wasn't very handsome. What was a little strange were the two imprints extending from the bags under his eyes, seemingly drawn with red paint.
He is wearing the same Chunin vest as Shirota-sensei and others, but it is black.
There was a frivolous smile on his whole face. From the very beginning, his eyes were fixed on Kushina and Mikoto among the students, and he ignored the few teachers standing aside.
Shirota-sensei trotted up to the man, with an excited expression on his face, ready to introduce him to everyone: "This man is—"
The man ignored him and instead walked up to Mikoto and Kushina, with a smile on his face that he thought was kind, and said, "You two girls, my name is Jiraiya. What's your name?"
Asked by Jiraiya, Mikoto bowed deeply and said submissively, "Master Jiraiya, my name is Uchiha Mikoto."
If other members of the Uchiha clan saw Jiraiya, it might not be the case, but Mikoto was born with a gentle temper, and she didn't have any sense of superiority because of her background.
Seeing someone like Jiraiya, she still seemed a little nervous.
"Hehe, it turns out that she is a genius girl from the Uchiha clan." Jiraiya smiled. As a senior executive of Konoha, he naturally understood the situation of the Uchiha clan.
Mikoto's talent was not weak, and she was also well-known among the clan.
Having received such praise from Jiraiya, Mikoto's little face lit up with happiness.
"You two little girls are cute." Jiraiya said, then turned his gaze to Kushina and asked, "Little girl, can you tell me your name?"
On the other hand, Kushina folded her arms and said, "Who are you? Why should I tell you? Pervy Uncle."
Hearing her words, Shirota-sensei and the others broke into a cold sweat instantly.
Hearing this, the corners of Jiraiya's eyes twitched slightly.
Her words also caused many students present to laugh out loud, and some of them suppressed their laughter.
Even Minato was no exception.
A bit of a perv, this was the first impression Jiraiya gave Minato.
Hearing the comment, Jiraiya also took a few steps back resentfully, but this was unlikely to cause any serious blow to him. During this process, he glanced lightly and saw Minato in the last row.
He withdrew his gaze, straightened his expression, looked at Shirota-sensei and the others beside him, and said, "I'm not very good at theory, so I'll teach these children according to my own way."
Naturally, Shirota and the others did not dare to have any doubts but were slightly worried. How much could these ignorant freshmen learn from a ninja of Jiraiya's level?
Jiraiya looked at the immature faces in front of him. He had already been a ninja when he was their age.
And most of them might still be in the stage of acting like babies with their parents. The times were really different.
He sighed slightly in his heart and then said, "What I want to teach you today are the three basic ninjutsu that every ninja must master."
