Lin Guang watched Jiraiya casually perform the Summoning Technique. His hand seals were so fast that Lin Guang could barely make them out.
Generally speaking, the faster a ninja formed hand seals, the stronger they were. From this, Lin Guang judged that Jiraiya was an extremely powerful ninja, even if he looked rather sleazy at the moment.
This was seeing the whole through a tiny detail, discerning the full picture from a single glimpse.
"With the Third watching over Konoha, Orochimaru shouldn't be able to cause much trouble, right?"
Lin Guang asked.
"No, you don't understand Orochimaru. He's someone who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals."
Jiraiya spoke with his brows tightly furrowed.
"That really is troublesome..."
Lin Guang said.
"You've earned yourself some credit, kid. I was just planning to take Naruto as my student. You can come learn alongside him!"
Jiraiya said.
"That's wonderful. Thank you very much."
Lin Guang said.
He wasn't happy for himself, but for Naruto.
With a ninja of Jiraiya's caliber teaching him, Naruto's strength would certainly grow rapidly.
"It's nothing. Go enjoy your bath. Bring Naruto to the small waterfall in the hills behind the village this afternoon. I'll wait for you there."
As Jiraiya spoke, he suddenly vanished.
"As expected of one of the legendary Sannin. His movement is terrifying, too."
Lin Guang couldn't see how Jiraiya had vanished at all, just like Orochimaru that night.
"This counts as good luck for Naruto and me, too."
A strange feeling suddenly came over Lin Guang, as though he and Naruto were two foolish lads who had stumbled upon a secluded master and were about to be taught peerless secret arts.
"Pah, pah, pah! Naruto's the foolish lad, not me!"
Lin Guang shook his head, shaking that strange feeling out of his mind.
