The Sannin Jiraiya! Shinki's New Teacher

Kakashi nodded in agreement with Jiraiya's words.

"I'll teach them a lesson they'll learn!"

As he spoke, Kakashi turned to look at Naruto Shinki: "You two, why are you disturbing Lord Jiraiya's creative enjoyment?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

Do you know how many years I've waited for the sequel to * Icha Icha Paradise *? (눈益눈)

Naruto shrugged. "I understand the logic, but this white-haired uncle is looking for material in the women's bathhouse. Anyone would want to stop him, right? (ー_ー)!!"

Shinki nodded. "Jiraiya- sensei found his material in the women's bathhouse, so is 'Icha Icha Paradise' also about something similar? If that's the case, then Kakashi-sensei, who likes to read this book, is probably...?"

Kakashi realized that Shinki were becoming increasingly contradictory, and quickly retorted, "I'm not that kind of person!! >_<"

Jiraiya: "..."

"Come on, Kakashi, tell me properly, what kind of person are you?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

While Kakashi and Jiraiya were explaining, Naruto and Shinki walked up to Sasuke.

"Sasuke, you've worked so hard training with Kakashi-sensei these past few days."

Naruto said with a sympathetic look.

Seeing Naruto's expression, Sasuke gritted his teeth in hatred. "Baka! Are you mocking me?!"

Naruto forced a sad expression. "How could that be? I didn't! (∇)"

Shinki: "..."

Your thoughts are written all over your face!

Shinki changed the subject, casually asking, "By the way Lord Jiraiya? He seems like someone important; even Kakashi-sensei treats him with utmost respect."

"Jiraiya..."

Sasuke pondered for a moment, then excitedly announced the other party's name, "The Konoha Sannin!"

Shinki immediately realized why the name sounded so familiar; it was one of the legendary Sannin.

The Konoha Sannin refers to the three disciples of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Orochimaru, who is always on the wanted poster at the Konoha, is the most well-known.

It's normal that Shinki and Naruto don't know the other two who are rarely in the village.

"The Sannin, then isn't he Ninja as powerful as Orochimaru?"

Naruto had an idea.

Kakashi-sensei's Ninjutsu wasn't suitable for him, Shinki had to practice Genjutsu every day, Ebisu didn't like.

These past few days he'd been worried about not having a suitable teacher to instruct him, and now Jiraiya, one of the Konoha Sannin of Konoha, has appeared.

Naruto had witnessed Orochimaru's power before.

Although Orochimaru didn't make many moves in the Forest of Death, the mere presence of that Konoha S-Rank Wanted Criminal exuded immense pressure!

It's reasonable to assume that Jiraiya, being Jiraiya of the legendary Orochimaru of Konoha Sannin, possessed power comparable to Orochimaru!

Beside.

Jiraiya, who was initially somewhat angry, gradually calmed down after Kakashi's flattery.

Furthermore, he guaranteed that a sequel to "Icha Icha Paradise" would definitely be released within the next five years.

Kakashi was overjoyed to hear that there was a specific time.

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Jiraiya."

"By the way, do Naruto and Red-Haired Kid not have suitable teachers yet?" Jiraiya suddenly changed the subject, subtly gesturing to Naruto and Shinki with his eyes as he asked.

Kakashi sighed, looking somewhat exasperated, and said, "I originally wanted Naruto, one of Konoha's elite teachers, to tutor Ebisu, but Naruto seems quite resistant."

"As for Shinki, I can't think of any other teacher in the village who could teach him..."

After saying that, Kakashi realized something and looked up excitedly. "Lord Jiraiya, are you perhaps planning to personally teach them?! ٩(๑ᵒ̴̶̷͈᷄ᗨᵒ̴̶̷͈᷅)و"

Jiraiya nodded. "Yes, Naruto is Minato's son. Looking at him always reminds me of Minato."

"As for that Red-Haired Kid, he's mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique; he's a Ninjutsu genius, and I don't want such a talent to be buried."

Kakashi's lips twitched. "Since Lord Jiraiya, are willing to teach them, that's naturally the best."

"However, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."

"Shinki not only Flying Thunder God, but is also proficient in Lightning Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Fire Style, Wind Release, and Wood Release. Furthermore, he developed Sealing Jutsu through his own efforts..."

"Both their learning ability and comprehension are extremely formidable!"

After hearing Kakashi's explanation, Jiraiya initially thought he was hallucinating.

"Ah???"

"That kid's just a Genin who recently graduated from the Ninja Academy, is he really as exaggerated as you say?!"

"Is it really that exaggerated!"

Kakashi nodded, patting his chest in assurance.

For a moment, Jiraiya was filled with excitement!

Jiraiya had a strange encounter when he was young, and was unexpectedly sent to Mount Myōboku by Reverse Summoning.

There, he met the Great Toad Sage who could foresee the future.

The Toad Sage prophesied that Jiraiya went, searching for a savior of the Shinobi World, and that that savior would become his disciple.

Jiraiya later Jiraiya his advice, traveling to various countries to write, gather information, and search for a savior.

During this time, he witnessed all walks of life, until he discovered a boy with a pair of Rinnegan.

To verify the prophecy, he took the boy as his disciple and taught him diligently.

And now, he has encountered an even more gifted young man!

With the mindset of "better to take in the wrong person than let one go, "Jiraiya decided to take Shinki as his disciple.

This young man, despite his young age, has mastered various elemental ninjutsu techniques and, like the legendary God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju decades ago, possesses the ability to use Wood Release!

If Jiraiya hadn't met that child with the Rinnegan, Jiraiya would have been convinced that Shinki was the Child of Prophecy and the savior of the Shinobi World.

However, based on what the Shinki has shown so far, it is enough for Jiraiya to value it!

After all, the Great Toad Sage didn't say that the savior would necessarily possess the Rinnegan.

"Kakashi, let those two kids learn from me."

"Naruto has the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed inside him and needs someone to look after him, while the Red-Haired Kid is a prodigy and needs someone to guide him properly."

Jiraiya said.

Upon hearing Jiraiya's resolute words, Kakashi readily agreed.

Although that would mean that Lord Jiraiya's writing progress might be slowed down by these two, and he might have to wait a few more years to read the sequel to Icha Icha Paradise.

But nothing is more reassuring than entrusting the two children to Lord Jiraiya!

Then, Kakashi waved to Shinki and Naruto: "Shinki, Naruto, you two come here."

Upon hearing this, the two children eagerly came over.

"From now on, you two will train under Lord Jiraiya; he will be your teacher," Kakashi announced.

"Okay... I understand."

Shinki was taken aback for a moment, then calmly nodded.

Naruto: "Yay! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Although Jiraiya a lecher in their eyes, the title of one of the "Sannin" instantly made him more likable.
