Shima brought Minato to Jiraiya's training ground, about a hundred meters away. There was a piece of open space that was neither too big nor too small. Many exotic plants that only existed in Mount Myoboku grew around the open space. The diameter was about 30 meters. If it was just for testing, this size was just right.
"Little Minato, I'm going to start." Before the test, Shima specially reminded Minato, after all, he looked a little too young. Shima's strength was definitely not inferior to Fukasaku's. Minato nodded, knowing he needed to focus. Shima immediately attacked and rushed towards Minato. She only used 30% of her speed, but for a child of Minato's age, it was fast enough. But this was just what Shima thought.
Minato activated the Body Flicker Jutsu and faced Shima's attack. He caught Shima's straight punch with his palm. Shima was startled. She naturally saw the Body Flicker Jutsu Minato used. "Good boy, you are worthy of being Jiraiya's disciple." Shima smiled faintly. If her speed was in the human world, even a Chunin might not be able to react completely. But for Minato, it seemed that there was no pressure.
Minato loosened his palm. This was the result of Shima's holding back. There was nothing to be proud of. "It seems I need to use more power." Shima said that she underestimated the child in front of her. At the moment when Minato loosened her fist, Shima actually kicked out. Because she observed Minato's eyes, she found that the child was unusually serious. In his opinion, perhaps this was a real battle.
Minato had already taken precautions and blocked it with his arms, but was directly pushed back several meters. His feet left a long mark on the ground before he stabilized his body. Shima came again. The former's hands turned into afterimages. Compared with half a year ago, Minato's hand seal speed was incomparable.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu!" His hand seal speed was obviously beyond Shima's expectations, but she did not use any ninjutsu to fight back, but retreated. She planned to use her own speed to bypass the huge dragon fire. Shima sped up again, and Minato could no longer observe her figure clearly.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" A strong wind rolled up, and Shima's figure was suddenly blocked. Although this could not have much impact on her, the fire took advantage of the wind, and under the strong wind, the Dragon Fire Jutsu suddenly expanded and directly enveloped Shima. "Combination Ninjutsu!?" Shima's shocked voice came from the flames.
Slap! Fukasaku once again slapped Jiraiya's head hard, knocking him out of the frog state. However, Jiraiya did not complain at all, and continued to apply toad oil and practice. At this time, Minato and Shima came back. "Shima, how is it?" asked Fukasaku immediately. Even Jiraiya, who had just entered the state of training, was distracted by this and turned into a frog again. Seeing this, Fukasaku beat him back again.
The expression in Shima's eyes had not yet completely calmed down. She looked at Jiraiya and said, "Little Jiraiya, is this really your disciple?" She was a little skeptical, which made Jiraiya, who was originally planning to see her surprised expression, extremely unhappy. "Big sister, what do you mean by this?"
Shima added, "I just find it a little unbelievable that the clumsy little Jiraiya could actually teach such a disciple." "Shima, what's going on?" Fukasaku asked immediately after seeing her reaction. "The combination of Body Flicker Jutsu and his use of jutsu combination of different natures, are these what you taught Minato?" Fukasaku was also shocked after hearing what Shima said. The former is not bad, but the combination of ninjutsu requires extremely high ninjutsu talent and years of practice to achieve.
Jiraiya spread his hands and said, "This kid learned it all by himself. Although I am his master, I only taught him some basics and a ninjutsu scroll given by the Third Hokage." "All self-taught?" Fukasaku and Shima's eyes widened in surprise again. A child under ten years old, taught himself the Body Flicker Jutsu, various ninjutsu, and how to combine them. What kind of talent is this? Suddenly, both of them looked at Minato as if he were a monster.
Minato smiled awkwardly. He had indeed learned the Body Flicker Jutsu in his past, but the subsequent learning of ninjutsu and combined ninjutsu were all based on his past memories. Otherwise, even he would not have been able to master it so quickly. "So, I think maybe he is the child of prophecy. After all, it is hard to imagine that there will be someone stronger than him among my future disciples," Jiraiya said. Now, even Fukasaku and Shima thought so. Only Minato himself knew that he was not the child of prophecy.
"It's getting late. I don't know when the old man will wake up. Little Jiraiya and little Minato, come to my house for dinner. I will cook for you myself." Shima picked up the basket she used to collect ingredients and said. Then, Jiraiya and Minato's faces darkened almost at the same time. "Ugh, ugh."
Somewhere in Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya squatted under a tree and vomited. His whole face turned purple. Minato was patting his back. Although he too tried hard not to vomit, he looked very bad. The special dishes made by Shima were simply "unforgettable." At this time, Minato thought of Kushina, who was now isolated and monitored, and wanted to rush to her and ask her to help him cook a meal. The difference between the two was so big that it was hard to describe it as the difference between heaven and earth.
Swish! At this time, Fukasaku rushed over and looked at the two people who seemed to be poisoned. He said in surprise: "If Shima saw you, she would be very angry. Besides, is her food so bad? I think it tastes pretty good." In response to him, the two people gave almost dying eyes. Fukasaku laughed awkwardly and said: "The guard toad has come just now. The Great Toad Sage has woken up and seems to have a new prophecy related to Minato."
The master and apprentice heard this and their expressions changed suddenly. Minato was startled. "Sure enough. Has it changed?" His guess was right. His rebirth this time has quietly changed the original history. And in the past, the Great Toad Sage had never made any prophecies related to himself. This is why he concealed his rebirth from everyone. Because the more people know, the greater the change in history will be. If it exceeds a certain level and is out of his control, he will have difficulty knowing in which direction history will evolve. And some things he wants to stop may lead to the worst outcome.
"Minato, let's go and see the Great Toad Sage." Jiraiya cheered himself up a little, and then said. "Yeah." Minato responded, and then went to the Great Toad Sage's bedroom again.
