Chapter 32: Refusal
"Jiraiya-sensei, please teach us chakra and ninjutsu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Faced with the request of Yahiko and the others, Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.
"I've said it many times, and I didn't intend to teach you ninjutsu, so there's no need for you to call me sensei. ”
"But..."
"There's nothing to be had. ”
Sighing softly, Jiraiya said seriously: "Becoming a ninja is not a fun thing, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, ninjas do have power that they can't reach, and it is a profession they expect to have, but in fact, ninja is a profession full of danger and pain. ”
Speaking of Jiraiya's tone unconsciously became heavy.
"According to incomplete statistics, the death rate of ninjas is definitely above 95 percent, and even the shadow of a village can hardly guarantee the safety of himself and his family. ”
"You will be caught up in the battle with others day after day, constantly facing the loss of loved ones, friends, lovers, disciples, this important person, and as far as the ninjas I have come into contact with so far, there are few who can die well. ”
As he spoke, he also pointed to the Chiba group behind Yahiko.
"If the price of becoming a ninja is that you're going to lose them eventually... Would you still like it..."
Not only Yahiko, but even Nagato Konan also fell silent.
After a while, Jiraiya continued: "So, there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person. The war is over, find a remote place, and you can live happily as ordinary people. If you're really worried about your safety, I can take you to the vicinity of Konoha Village, where you can basically guarantee absolute safety..."
Just when Jiraiya thought that several people had been moved by his own words, Yahiko suddenly raised his head and interrupted Jiraiya's words.
"I'm sorry, I can't..."
Yahiko's eyes were full of determination: "Indeed, maybe by doing what you say, we can guarantee that we can live safely and happily." But what about the civilians of the Land of Rain? Can they too?"
"Yes, it is true that there is peace now, but I don't think this peace will last long, and when the war comes again, the tragedy that happened to us will be reincarnated in this country again. ”
Yahiko's voice was impassioned.
"I, Yahiko, I want to save this country, I want to end this cycle of suffering, I want to find a real way to achieve peace, and then calm this troubled world, for this I am willing to risk my own life, although I haven't figured out what we should do yet, but I at least understand one thing, we need strength, so..."
Yahiko respectfully bowed his head to the ground and said firmly, "Jiraiya-sensei, please." ”
Looking at Yahiko's respectful salute, Jiraiya was in a mixed mood.
The reason why he had traveled before was because he wanted to find the legendary Child of Prophecy and the path to peace.
The ambition of the kid in front of him really shocked him greatly, and to be honest, he did have an urge to stay and teach them in an instant.
It's just that...
Suddenly thought of something, and Jilai decisively let go of his impulse.
"I'm sorry. ”
Jiraiya stood up and sighed softly.
"Actually, I don't have that much time to teach you, I told you, I'm only going to stay here for a month at most, and in this month I'll teach you some basic survival skills like hunting and fishing, and after a month, no matter how much you learn, I'll leave here, after all, I still have my own mission. ”
"As for ninjutsu... To be honest, I don't think you'll be able to learn much in a month, and teaching you just a little bit of the surface is hurting you, so... I'm sorry..."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out, leaving a few people silent.
In the more than half a month after that, Jiraiya did indeed teach Yahiko some simple hunting and fishing skills, as for ninjutsu, it was never mentioned at all, no matter how Yahiko pleaded, Jiraiya did not nod his head and agree.
Faced with such a result, Yahiko was naturally quite disappointed.
And Chiba, of course, has seen much more thoroughly than Yahiko.
Indeed, in any case, there is no reason to teach them.
Konoha is not at peace now, and there is still a big war in several other directions, and it is when there is a lack of combat effectiveness, and if there is no accident, it is impossible not to go back.
Even if he didn't have this, he usually had all kinds of tasks that he needed to perform, how could a busy person like him have nothing to do to help countries other than his village take care of children.
You must know that even within Konoha there are definitely a few children who want to worship Jilai as a teacher, but so far Jilai has almost no apprentices.
Although he is also a good person, he is not a good person, and it is impossible for him to agree to a child who wants to apprentice.
Even if they finally impress Jiraiya, it is estimated that at most they will teach them some fur and leave, and they will not learn anything at all.
Therefore, there is only one opportunity to recognize them and really stay.
A reason why he had to stay.
Thinking of this, Chiba silently cast his gaze out the window.
Speaking of which, it's almost time to get into action...
