The moment Sasuke realized who he was looking at, a glimmer of hope burst into his eyes!
This was the legendary Sannin!
And the close friend of his, Uzumaki Naruto's master!
Beside him, Boruto's bright blue eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
"Dad's teacher... It really is him... But didn't Dad say that teacher sailed out to sea?"
He murmured, his words tumbling out incoherently.
"Oh? You two... know me?"
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow slightly at the sound of their voices.
His peripheral vision began to study Boruto more carefully.
The moment he glanced at the boy, his heart jolted! The boy's features and hairstyle... Why did he look so much like Naruto as a child?
And... why did he feel such a sense of kinship when he looked at him?
And who was the other one, that gloomy yet sunny man of contradictions?
Those eyes shouldn't exist in the Shinobi World at this point in time!
Just as Jiraiya's heart began to race, Otsutsuki Puushiki seemed to have stumbled upon a pleasant surprise.
His mocking gaze passed over Jiraiya, then Boruto, then Sasuke, before settling on Jiraiya again.
"Your dad... So you're Uzumaki Naruto's teacher?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who would've thought that the teacher of the Shinobi World's greatest ninja would be an old man with graying hair?"
After saying this, he covered his mouth and chuckled.
But Jiraiya heard those words very differently.
The greatest ninja in the Shinobi World?!
Hearing that title, Jiraiya was baffled. "Um, who are you talking about when you say the greatest ninja in the Shinobi World?"
He asked without thinking.
After all, his student Namikaze Minato was dead.
And Naruto was still a child, studying at the academy.
There was no way he could be the greatest ninja in the Shinobi
