Qian Ye followed up on the conversation.

"Lord Jiraiya's research manuscripts are said to be quite sought-after in certain circles."

Qian Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Say, Senior Minato, have you ever read them?"

Minato had originally maintained the composure of a Jonin leading a team.

But at those words, his sunny face instantly reddened to the tips of his ears.

"Even your Chakra will boil along with it."

After hearing that, Pakura's expression turned slightly grave.

"Hidden Leaf actually keeps such a dangerous forbidden technique?"

"No wonder he doesn't dare read it."

But
