"How?" The three generations of Hokage asked.

"That kid was absolutely stunned by my speed, and was also blown away by my shining debut, I believe that a powerful image of the three ninjas has been deeply rooted in our young generation of ninjas in Konoha......"

After hearing this, the three generations of Hokage coughed violently, and even his pipe almost fell.

"But I almost showed my stuffing, from full speed to an emergency stop, and I almost couldn't breathe in the last breath......" Jiraiya recalled the scene at that time, and felt that his performance was still perfect. Because judging from Qing Shui's reaction, it shouldn't have been obvious that he was really out of breath at that time......

"Ahem, I'm asking about that kid......"

"Don't worry, old man, no problem. Anyway, you're also a student of Maruki Kosuke, so you have to have some confidence. Jiraiya's deep voice has a convincing magic.

Indeed, Maru Hoshi Kosuke is a man recognized by the second Hokage, and the person he can vouch for means that he is the one he approves, if there is a problem, wouldn't it question the vision of the second Hokage?

"I know, I didn't let the Shadow Criminal Trial Brigade interfere in this matter. It's just that Danzo ......" Miyome Hokage sighed.

"Since we all believe in April Shimizu, what reason does Tuanzang have to be this person? He killed so many people this time, and catching one at random can be said to be related to Qing Shui, can I think that he has other intentions? ”

"So I also suspected that maybe Tuanzang couldn't win him over before, so he tried to coerce him to join the root ...... After all, Tuan Zang's desire for this young man was obvious. ”

"Hahaha...... I said, old man, you've really been in this office for too long. You don't take a closer look at his resume, his strength is by no means something that Tuan Zang can easily control. Jiraiya continued to explain, "Guess what I heard in the shadows today-Instant God Qingshui, how fast do you say he is?" ”

A title doesn't mean anything, and the three generations of Hokage raised their eyebrows and said, "How fast?" ”

"As fast as 'Yellow Flash.'"

The expression of the third generation was a little surprised.

"He had the same problem as Watergate, where his neural reflexes and dynamic vision couldn't keep up with the bottleneck of extreme speed."

"Has it grown to this point......

"That kid's last three consecutive S-class missions, you should take a fresh look at it." Jiraiya reminded.

"I'll reevaluate."

"Then it's time for me to go. Hopefully I'll find some clues this time. Let's go say hello to the water gate first...... Jiraiya said and disappeared into the Hokage's office.

"April Clear Water...... It's not the Shangnin who was promoted more than a year ago, how can his strength improve so much? Lost your eyes again? The three generations of Hokage muttered to himself.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

That night, at the Konoha gate.

"That's the way it is, so you should also trust Hokage-sama's judgment." Jiraiya admonished.

“…… I know. Bo Feng Shuimen replied with a slight hesitation.

"You kid, don't you even question the teacher's words?"

"How so!"

"Then do you think there is still a problem with April Qingshui?"

"Of course not!"

"I really taught an excellent disciple!" Jiraiya praised.

Then he asked again: "Speaking of which, April Qingshui is the same age as you, I don't see that you have any communication, no personal grudges, right?" ”

"Of course not! It's just that he had consulted me about the Spiral Pill before, but I didn't teach him. He also consulted Chidori with Kakashi, who believed him and told him all...... "Watergate is just a bland statement of facts, and it doesn't seem to be emotional.

But Zilai also knew more about his students, and immediately realized the implicit meaning of this: "Do you think he has other plans?" ”

"I can't tell...... In short, it gives the impression that there is a purpose. You know, I'm not a big fan of these scheming people......"

"Watergate, I ask you...... Is it because he was once called a genius? Became a shinobi at the age of 10? So you're a little bit of a haunter? ”

It was the 33rd year of Konoha and Mizuto had just graduated from the ninja school, and Shimizu had already ascended to the middle ninja and followed the upper shinobi to emerge on the battlefield of the Second Ninja War.

Shimizu's A-class and S-class missions have always been far ahead of his peers, which is a big reason, and he stepped into this world of strife and turmoil with the strength of the middle ninja early.

It is true that the two are not at the same level. Even Zilai himself can't compare.,You must know that Jilai is also a 11-year-old middle ninja.。

"How can you ......," Mizuto subconsciously retorted, and then lost to Jiraiya's substantively inquiring gaze, so he explained, "Okay...... After all, in those years, he was rumored to be a genius once in twenty years. I was only a few years old at the time, and it wasn't normal for me to be jealous......"

At the end, Watergate added: "It's not just me who is good, everyone is envious and jealous!" ”

"Hahahaha...... When I was young, I was also jealous of Orochimaru, he was very talented and loved by his teachers. No way, there are always some people who are the darlings of this world, and we ordinary people can't compare to ......" Zilai also shamelessly called himself an ordinary person, and then said heartily, "After so many years, I have long been relieved." But why can't you? Why? ”

“…… I'm not jealous of his talent, really! I used to think that I was jealous of his talent, but in fact, even if he was stuck in Zhongnin for so many years, I never doubted his talent. ”

"It's like you just told me that Qing Shui is now experiencing the same bottleneck as I used to, and I'm not really surprised, but I have a feeling that he should be like this."

"I can't believe you have so much faith in him." I was a little surprised.

"Mr. Jiraiya, do you think a person can pick himself up after falling from the altar of genius?"

"It's hard." Zilai also said bluntly.

"I didn't understand it before, because I didn't enjoy the aura of these geniuses since I was a child, and my strength only improved by leaps and bounds when I became sensible. Jiraiya Sensei, you too. Shuimen paused, "But Qing Shui is not, he has enjoyed the aura and treatment of these geniuses since I was a child when I was ignorant...... Later, the crowd dispersed, and the village no longer valued him...... Until now, it has shown its edge again. ”

"From the time I was 5 years old when I studied at the ninja school to the time I watched Shimizu graduate at the age of 7, he was that April Shimizu; I graduated from the ninja school at the age of 10 and went to the battlefield for the first time, and the Shimizu who was promoted to the middle ninja at the age of 10 was still the April Shimizu; When I ascended to forbearance, he was still in the middle of forbearance, and he was still the clear water of April; Recently, I looked for him once, and it gave me the feeling that he was still the same April clear water ......"

Zilai also quietly listened to the words of his proud protégé, and did not make a sound. The water gate in front of him was confiding in his heart that he had never understood.

"Then I finally understood, it turned out that I was jealous of his maturity, and I was jealous of his mentality."

"Maybe I can beat him in terms of strength...... But he always treats things indifferently, and his mood does not have the slightest wave...... I can't learn it, and I can't learn it. I'll never be able to surpass that! ”

"What I think of as a true ninja is what he is...... At any time, you can face anything calmly! ”

"From the time I knew him, when he was 5 years old, he had done it...... Fifteen years have passed, and he is still like this, no matter what the outside world says about him, he can always stick to his ninja! ”

"I see, so Watergate, do you think you'll never be able to surpass him in this regard?" Jiraiya asked seriously.

"Yes! I ......"

"Watergate! You're wrong! I will teach you another truth - you still have a long way to go, and it is too early to say that it will end! Decades later, he may not be able to stick to his heart, and of course you may not be able to maintain the lead in strength forever. Jiraiya said earnestly.

"Who would have thought that Orochimaru, once a genius student of Hokage-sama, one of the three ninjas, would now throw himself into the arms of the root? Life has not come to an end, and you can never say that you will fail! Can't give up! ”

"Yes! Teachable! ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to fully comprehend the profound philosophy of life as a teacher...... This is a huge book, you should read it carefully. With that, he immediately took out a white cover from his bosom, and stuffed the book with the yellow flame mark into the chest of the water gate.

Then Jiraiya immediately walked towards the Konoha Gate, he turned his back to the Water Gate, waved his hand, and said, "Water Gate, our man's mind is as wide as the sea. Let's get along! ”

"Good ......"

Watergate bowed his head, and the four big characters of "The Legend of Root Forbearance" were unusually eye-catching.

This is the masterpiece that the teacher said?

Suddenly, Watergate noticed that there seemed to be a bookmark in the book.

Maybe it's something from the teacher.,It's true.,It's always lost.。

He took a closer look and saw that it was actually a contract - "Jiraiya Haojie Monogatari's lifetime VIP subscription contract?!" ”

At the bottom, there is the signature and handprint of Bo Feng Shuimen.

This is my signature and handprint?!

When did I promise this?!
