The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the mountain forest with a layer of orange-red.
In an empty flat ground in the woods, two people were tied to wooden stakes and lowered their heads dejectedly.
It was the failed Jiraiya and the successful Kagura.
Sarutobi Hiruzen kept stroking his butt with one hand, while preaching to Kagura with great sorrow:
"Is this what you learned in the Ninja Academy?
Huh?
You don't learn so many ninjutsu well, what are you learning?
Even if you want to learn Taijutsu, there are plenty of choices.
Tell me, did you create this yourself or which bastard teacher taught you?"
Facing the anger of Sarutobi teacher, Kagura couldn't help shrinking his head.
Hearing this question, he tried to recall it, and then stammered:
"Yes... Hatake Sakumo taught me."
What?
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried hard to recall the owner of this name, and a young man with silver hair and a resolute face appeared in his mind.
Unexpectedly, a seemingly upright young man actually developed such a vicious ninjutsu.
Poor Hatake Sakumo didn't know at this time that because of someone's slander, his impression in the heart of the Third Hokage took a sharp turn.
In fact, it was not slander to a certain extent.
Kagura remembered very clearly that in the original plot, it was indeed mentioned that the Thousand Years of Killing was invented by Hatake Sakumo.
After he taught it to Kakashi, it was carried forward by Kakashi and Naruto.
Feeling the pain from his buttocks, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Tying Kagura to the wooden stake was also an act he made in anger.
Now think about it carefully, Kagura did nothing wrong.
After all, it was he who said at the beginning that no matter what method was used, as long as he could defeat him and get the bell, he would win.
But he didn't expect that he would end up in such a shameful way.
Thinking of this, he just put on a stern face to untie Kagura.
Kagura, who finally got rid of the wooden stake, breathed a sigh of relief.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger was within his expectations, so this short-term binding was the lightest punishment he could imagine. After seeing the true strength of your companions, were you shocked?"
Jiraiya answered in a buzzing voice:
"That Kagura is too cunning, he has been hiding his strength.
And Tsunade and Orochimaru are much stronger than me."
Looking at the student who had lost confidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down beside him, as if recalling the past and comforting him:
"Jiraiya, there is never a lack of geniuses in the world of ninjas.
But genius does not mean that you can become a strong person. "
Hearing this, Jiraiya finally raised his head, looked at the teacher in front of him and asked:
"Then how can you become a strong person? "
Sarutobi smiled and replied:
"Effort, luck, talent.
The most important thing is a strong heart.
Everyone has their own talents. You don't have to compare yourself with others. It is more important to stick to yourself. "
Listening to the teacher's encouragement, Jiraiya's eyes slowly regained their luster.
He smiled confidently and said proudly:
"That's right, I just performed poorly today.
My escape technique is the strongest in Konoha!
Every time I go to the bathhouse to peek with the escape technique, I have never failed!"
Looking at the shameless disciple in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything.
After a long silence, a voice sounded.
"Next time, call me when you go to the bathhouse."
"... Teacher, you are so lustful."
"Shut up! "
On the way back, Kagura hummed a song in a good mood.
He had originally planned to collect the reward from the system after returning home, but faced with the temptation of the tailed beast, he couldn't wait to click to collect the reward halfway.
After pressing the confirmation button in his mind, the strange changes he imagined did not appear.
He turned his head and carefully checked himself, and found that there was no change.
