Inside Konoha Hospital,

"You want me to clean up the mess for you?"

Looking at the old man with a kind smile on the hospital bed, Jiraiya replied coldly: "I said it, I won't stay in Konoha for too long, and I will leave when the situation in the ninja world tends to stabilize." ”

"So, if you want me to take Naruto as an apprentice, you have to let him leave Konoha with me."

During his time in Konoha, Jirai was not in a hurry to find Naruto, but secretly looked for a possible candidate as the child of prophecy.

The child of prophecy will always be the first in his heart, and all other children's personal affairs will be ranked behind.

However, the old man revealed Naruto's background and clarified the rumors of the demon fox incarnation, which made him feel a little less resentful of the old man.

Naruto's childhood was already full of darkness and malice, and he couldn't imagine how a child would survive it.

What's even more rare is that after Naruto encounters these malices, he can still be as gentle and elegant as Watergate, and become a little sun in the eyes of most people.

But it's also clear that this is not the case.

He had seen Naruto hiding alone in the bed at night and crying silently, and he had also seen Naruto use shadow clones and transformation techniques to conjure up his parents and say good morning and good night to each other......

Obviously, Naruto is not without negative emotions such as sadness and pain.

He just kept the negative and pessimistic side for himself and the positive and optimistic side for everyone.

It was precisely because of this that Naruto's sensible appearance after knowing the truth made Jiraiya feel even more distressed.

"Jiraiya, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know very well that you are looking for the Child of Prophecy."

Facing Jiraiya's cold voice, Sarutobi smiled bitterly, "Although I don't believe in the so-called Prophecy Child, have you ever thought that Naruto is likely to be the one you are looking for?" ”

Naruto, is the Child of Prophecy?

"Impossible."

Jiraiya frowned, and subconsciously retorted: "Since the son of prophecy can change the ninja world, then he must have the power and wisdom that ordinary people can't match, and it is likely to be someone like the first Hokage-sama." ”

"Although Naruto's strength and wisdom far surpass that of his peers, he is a little inferior to Kakashi and Mizumon when he was a child, how can he bring change and peace to the ninja world."

What's more, the Great Toad Immortal made it very clear that the Child of Prophecy should be facing a difficult choice.

And according to Jiraiya's observation, Naruto has no tendency to destroy the ninja world at all, so naturally he doesn't need to give him any guidance.

In this way, Naruto did not live up to the prophecy of the Child of Prophecy.

"With the current situation in the ninja world, you should stay in the village for a while, why don't you observe Naruto while he is teaching?"

Ape Feiri paused, his eyes flashed, "...... Think of it as a teacher who compensates the Watergate children. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The rejection that had already reached his lips was swallowed back immediately, and a faint look of guilt appeared on his face.

Ape Fei Ri Slash really knows his apprentice too well.

Beneath the lustful and rough surface of Jiraiya, there is a kind and soft heart.

This is both his strength and his weakness.

He must have felt ashamed of Mizuto and Naruto in his heart.

“…… You win, old man. ”

Jiraiya's momentum withered, and he sighed deeply and said, "I will accept Naruto as an apprentice and teach Naruto everything, but I will never become a Hokage, but don't even think about it." ”

"Also, you've been sitting for too long, so let's move your position."

There were some things he really didn't want to say too badly, too directly.

But he didn't want the old man to repeat his old tricks and let Naruto continue to repeat the mistakes of the Water Gate.

Therefore he had to say these things.

"I understand."

Ape Feiri smiled relievedly: "Old man, I'm really tired. ”

This sentence is indeed heartfelt.

Whenever he met with Naruto and felt Naruto's respect for him, that thick sense of guilt continued to haunt him.

This feeling had overpowered his attachment to the position of Hokage.

Sarutobi now just wants to train Naruto as quickly as possible, and then let him sit in the position of Hokage in peace.

"I hope so."

Jilai gave him a deep look without saying anything, then turned and walked out of the room.

Since you have agreed to teach Naruto, you have to think about how to build a good relationship with Naruto.

"With Naruto's delicate and intelligent temperament now, it's better to directly explain his identity and then apologize to him."

Thinking like this, Jiraiya walked around the corner of the hallway.

But at this moment.

Jiraiya, who was thinking about it, didn't pay attention, and the person around the corner collided with each other.

Boom!!

With his size of nearly two meters, the man was knocked to the ground by him without any resistance.

"Shhh You ......"

"Ah, I'm so sorry!"

Before the other party could say anything, he subconsciously leaned over and apologized.

Seeing that the other party apologized, Sasuke couldn't help but choke, but he didn't want to embarrass the other party.

It was the other party's height that made him feel offended.

“…… Really, watch the road! ”

He rubbed his ass and stood up, looked at Naruto to the side and complained, "Why didn't you remind me." ”

Naruto glanced at Jiraiya, and retorted with a smile on his face, "Who told you to talk about the road while walking." ”

"Damn! Obviously, you suddenly accosted me! ”

When the two were fighting, Jilai also straightened up at the same time.

But after seeing the two people in front of him, he suddenly stood in place.

The boy he hit was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with a high neck, white sleeves, and shorts, and the Uchiha clan crest on his shirt proved his identity.

- The only remaining Uchiha clansman, Sasuke Uchiha.

But the boy next to Sasuke is the root cause of Jiraiya's stupe.

The boy was wearing a white casual suit, his long blond hair hung down to the corners of his eyes, his blue eyes were clear and pure, and the smile on his face added a bit of gentleness and kindness to him.

"Watergate...... No, Naruto? ”

Jiraiya's mouth moved slightly, and he muttered to himself silently.

I was completely unprepared for the sudden encounter with Naruto here.

Wouldn't it be abrupt to recognize him now?

Do you want to observe secretly for a while, and then find a better opportunity to "meet" him?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya subconsciously wanted to escape.

But Naruto wasn't going to give him that chance.

Or rather, this scene is what he wants.

"Excuse me, do you know me?"

Naruto and Jiraiya looked at each other and asked knowingly with a smile on their faces.

Jiraiya's steps froze, and the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

And seeing the familiar smile on Naruto's face, Sasuke also turned his head to look at Jiraiya.

The gaze gradually changed to sympathy and pity.

Take Sasuke's understanding of Naruto.

As long as he showed this smile, he probably didn't hold back any good fart.

"Could it be that this white-haired guy provoked Naruto?"
