[Second Sign-In task issued...]
The system's prompt tone rang out right on cue.
[Sign-In location: Ninja School. Task requirement: Become a ninja academy student!]
[Task reward: Basic mastery of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu!]
Chiba was a bit dazed. Why had another Sign-In task suddenly been issued?
And this task was actually so simple.
Jiraiya had already agreed to take care of him and get him into the so-called Ninja School.
He only needed a single word of guarantee to complete it smoothly.
And most importantly, the task reward was just too generous.
Unlike the novice Sign-In task.
Not only was the Sign-In location simpler, but the requirements were also extremely relaxed.
As for the basic mastery of the three types of techniques, it was still extremely important for a ninja.
This was the fundamental basis of a ninja.
No matter who it was, they could not escape the scope of these three types of techniques.
Even in the later stages of god-level battles, the attack methods they unleashed were still various techniques.
With basic mastery, paired with the perfect-level Sage Mode.
When the time came, Chiba would also be considered to have some self-preservation strength.
Jiraiya made up his mind. Since that was the case, he would just bring this child by his side!
"Chiba, look..."
He turned his head to look at Chiba, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Senior Jiraiya, do you know where there are peers of my age?"
In order to complete the Sign-In task, Chiba sold out his looks once again.
He played up the innocence of a little child to the extreme.
His big, blinking eyes looked filled with innocence.
The only dissonance was the gold-red eyeshadow around those eyes, as well as the special pupil color.
Jiraiya pressed his large hand against his own face, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Sigh, since it's like this, then come back to Konoha with me first!"
Fukasaku nodded with satisfaction, considering the task entrusted by the Great Toad Sage fulfilled.
Creeak-
The door opened, and Shima walked in carrying a large tray.
"It just happens to be mealtime, little Chiba, come and try my cooking!"
Chiba subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
In an instant, his face turned ashen.
He saw that the tray was full of various green caterpillars, each one more active than the last, truly challenging the limits of human endurance.
Jiraiya's face did not look too good either.
Under normal circumstances, he was still more willing to eat some normal food.
"Thank you very much for your kindness!"
Chiba forcefully endured the discomfort and refused.
"There's no time to lose, I really want to see those peers of my age!"
He looked righteously at Jiraiya and asked:
"Senior Jiraiya, don't you think so?"
Jiraiya snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly.
"Since it's little Chiba's request, let's set off early then!"
As he spoke, he pulled Chiba along, directly bade farewell to the two of them, and left.
"What a pity for this grand feast!"
Shima shook her head and didn't think too much about it.
Jiraiya led Chiba away from Mount Myōboku and casually asked if he wanted to sign a summoning contract with Mount Myōboku.
Under Chiba's blank expression, Jiraiya explained the summoning contract in detail.
"The great toads of Mount Myōboku?"
Chiba nodded somewhat excitedly, "Of course I can!"
Because his Sage Mode had some connection to Mount Myōboku.
Therefore, when signing the contract, it went very smoothly as well.
Through the Reverse Summoning Technique, the two of them directly returned to the vicinity of Konoha.
Although Jiraiya had not returned to Konoha during this period of time, he had always been wandering nearby.
After half an hour of trekking, Chiba finally saw the location of Konoha's gates.
"Is this... Konoha?"
He muttered.
Jiraiya laughed heartily:
"Haha, that's right, this is Konoha, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages of the Shinobi World!"
"In the days to come, you will live here."
The gate-guarding ninjas were that pair of good buddies, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki.
Upon noticing Jiraiya, it was naturally inevitable for them to come up and show some concern.
After exchanging some casual pleasantries, Jiraiya brought Chiba to the Ninja School.
"This should be the place you wanted to come to."
Chiba knew that things were not that simple.
The completion of the Sign-In task would probably still require a round of wrangling.
However, what he didn't expect was that Jiraiya walked straight in with him.
After greeting several ninja teachers, he directly stuffed Chiba into the Ninja School.
"Little Chiba, get familiar with the environment first."
Jiraiya soothed: "I'm going to handle some matters."
"I'll come find you after I'm done!"
Chiba nodded, a clear understanding in his heart.
As one of the Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya undoubtedly focused the gazes of many people on himself.
Bringing a child back into Konoha would inevitably cause all sorts of incidents.
Next, Jiraiya should be dealing with these messy matters.
Chiba was happy to have the leisure; he was only a five- or six-year-old child after all.
Children, after all, should do things that children should do.
For example, being a good student or something.
[Sign-In task completed, task reward being distributed...] [Task reward distributed successfully, the host has successfully mastered the basics of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu!]
Hearing this prompt tone, Chiba's eyes instantly lit up.
Was it finally time to get in touch with ninjutsu?
