Minato pauses, a gentle smile appearing on his face, as he stretches out his arm and bumps his fist with Nawaki's.
"Brother Nawaki, please teach me more in the future," Minato says with a smile.
"Brother Jiraiya has a disciple like you, should we say it's your luck or his luck?" Nawaki raises his eyes and looks at Minato. At his age, having such strength is no doubt indicative of a real genius. After all, even the genius from the Uchiha clan was defeated by Minato. And Jiraiya back then...
"Ahem." Jiraiya coughs twice, noticing some meaning in Nawaki's words that only the two of them understand. He immediately moves to Nawaki's side at a speed that the two of them cannot react to, squats slightly, hugs Nawaki's neck, and takes him a little away from Minato.
"Boy, give me some face in front of my disciple!" Jiraiya's face is unfriendly, and there is a bit of "threatening" in his words. Others may not know his dark history, but Nawaki's sister knows it very well, so Nawaki is also very familiar with Jiraiya's affairs.
Moreover, because of the relationship with the First Hokage, Nawaki and the Third Hokage have a very good relationship. Both have been taken care of by the Third Hokage.
Nawaki does not care about Jiraiya's threat. Instead, he looks like he is not afraid of trouble and says, "Hey, I know you have always liked my sister. In that case, you can't hurt me."
"I was just joking with you." Jiraiya's face changes instantly, becoming a little flattering. "What do you want?" Of course, he can see that Nawaki is deliberately luring him into a trap.
Nawaki says, "It's very simple, teach me a B-level ninjutsu."
Jiraiya's eyes narrow. B-level ninjutsu exceeds the scope of Genin, not only because of its difficulty but also because of the amount of chakra required. However, Nawaki has the blood of the Senju clan, and the amount of chakra is more than that of ordinary ninjas.
"Why don't you go find Orochimaru and Tsunade? Haven't they been guiding you in your training?" Jiraiya asks.
Nawaki curls his lips and says, "I went to find Orochimaru, but he refused. Later, I learned that it was my sister who specifically told him that I was too impatient and not suitable for practicing such difficult ninjutsu."
"Tsunade is right. You haven't graduated from the ninja school yet. Why do you want to practice such difficult ninjutsu? After you graduate and perform missions for a period, Tsunade will recognize your strength and teach you naturally," Jiraiya says.
"Time waits for no one. My dream is to become a Hokage. I don't have time to care about those trivial tasks. I plan to go to the Third Hokage to apply for a difficult mission as soon as I graduate." Nawaki is full of disdain. He feels that it is too slow to grow into a Hokage according to Tsunade and Jiraiya's conventional ideas. Even if he graduates, he can only perform the lowest-level tasks at the beginning. He can't stand that kind of growth.
"But if I teach you rashly, Tsunade will beat me to death." Jiraiya twitches his mouth. If Tsunade knows that he has violated her wishes and taught Nawaki ninjutsu without authorization, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Then if you don't teach me, don't expect me to help you, and you won't be able to progress with my sister!" Nawaki threatens Jiraiya in return. Turning his head, he finds that Jiraiya has already dragged Minato out of the backyard wall.
"We'll talk about it next time!" Jiraiya leaves this sentence and disappears from the scene.
Nawaki is angry, but he knows that he can't catch up with Jiraiya's speed.
"Teacher, we left without saying goodbye like this, won't it be a problem?" Once again "fleeing in a hurry," Minato looks a little helpless. He has been a disciple for less than a day, and the same experience has happened twice. Although this time is not as ridiculous as the last time.
"If we don't leave now, there will be more trouble." Jiraiya says he doesn't want to entangle with Nawaki anymore. It's not right not to teach, and it's even more wrong to teach. Minato doesn't hear the conversation between Jiraiya and Nawaki, and he doesn't know what a kind person like Nawaki says to make his teacher so embarrassed. However, it is probably related to his sister. After all, he alone should not be able to threaten his teacher.
"Okay, kid, don't guess." Jiraiya sees Minato thinking again and interrupts him quickly. Who knows what this kid can judge with his mind? In that case, his dignity as a teacher will be gone.
However, thinking of Nawaki's request, and looking at Minato in front of him, an idea comes to his mind.
"Minato, do you want to learn ninjutsu?" Jiraiya asks immediately.
Minato hears the words, hesitates for a while, but nods.
"Sure enough, because I said before that I want you to play to your own advantages first, you haven't asked me before, right?" The reason why ninjas are called ninjas is partly due to ninjutsu, so being able to practice more powerful ninjutsu is what every ninja dreams of. Minato is no exception.
"There is a reason why I don't teach you ninjutsu. On the one hand, it's because of the amount of chakra. On the other hand, if you don't know how and when to use ninjutsu, it would be very dangerous to teach you, just like Uchiha Yoruki before." Jiraiya explains that Minato's chakra is not less at his age, but the combat power that could be increased by using ninjutsu is too limited. If used improperly, it would turn into Uchiha Yoruki before, who almost hurt his classmates.
Minato hears this and responds. It is all because he is too immature. The teacher does this for his own good.
"However, you are different from Uchiha Yoruki. Even when facing someone you hate, you know how to hold back. And you are my disciple. If you only know the three-bodies technique, it would be incompetent for me as a teacher." Jiraiya says, and Minato's eyes light up.
"Jiraiya-sensei, are you going to teach me ninjutsu?" Minato says happily.
"Yes, and the ninjutsu I teach you, even if you can't grasp the degree, you will never hurt others by mistake if you use it," Jiraiya smiles proudly.
Minato immediately becomes curious. Could it be that ninjutsu can distinguish between enemies and allies?
Seeing his expectant and curious look, Jiraiya smiles and says, "The technique I am going to teach you is called the summoning jutsu."
