the next day
"Teacher, shall we go do an assignment?"
Watanabe Kawa excitedly asked Didaze beside him.
"Wrong, I'm just helping you receive it, I don't do the work..."
Didaze said with a smile.
He had no interest in doing those D-rank missions; he'd rather use that time to practice his Dust Release technique.
"Teacher, don't worry, we'll definitely do a good job!"
Watanabe Kawa spoke with an excited expression.
It would be even better if the teacher didn't assign any tasks, then we could have plenty of time to develop our own ideas.
Otherwise, if the teacher went up there, wouldn't he be unstoppable? What use would we little karaomis be then? To cheer?
"Kawa seems completely unaware..."
Reigyō looked at Watanabe Kawa, who was beaming with excitement, with a hint of helplessness.
Tsuchikage Office
You're a little late.
Ōnoki looked at Didaze and spoke.
"It's alright, there are never enough D-level missions in the village, so it's fine if I come at night."
Didaze spread his hands and said.
"You choose a task."
Ōnoki, seeing Didaze's nonchalant attitude, felt helpless and tossed the dossier to Didaze.
What kind of mission do you want?
Didaze looked at the three little ones and said with a smile.
Although D-rank missions are low-level, they offer the widest range of choices.
"Teacher, I want one that can fight!"
Watanabe Kawa spoke with an excited expression.
He was finally about to receive his first mission in life, and Watanabe Kawa was both excited and apprehensive.
"We are the same as Trump."
Reigyō and Nanako Uzumaki spoke in unison.
"Want a fight?... Then I'll choose a powerful opponent for you..."
After examining the scrolls, Didaze solemnly selected one...
"Stop it quickly!!"
Watanabe Kawa's anxious voice came through.
" Adamantine Sealing Chains!!!"
In her Nanako Uzumaki unleashed the Adamantine Sealing Chains, instantly binding the rapidly advancing creature in front of her!
"Well done, Nanako!"
Reigyō gave Nanako Uzumaki a thumbs up.
"You little rascal, you can really run!"
Nanako Uzumaki released the Adamantine Sealing Chains, leaving only a small yellow cat unconscious on the spot.
"Good teamwork, but if you didn't know better, you'd think you were teaming up to fight the Two-Tails Jinchūriki."
Didaze flipped off the Clay Giant Bird and looked at the poor little yellow cat.
"It's fortunate you held back; if you had injected just a little more Chakra, this cat would be in the Pure Land."
Didaze picked up the kitten and said with a smile.
"Teacher, why is it considered a powerful opponent?"
Watanabe Kawa looked at Didaze with a mournful expression.
When Watanabe Kawa was brought here by Didaze, he was completely bewildered. Didaze simply threw the mission scroll at him and flew into the sky.
Watanabe Kawa only realized his mission was to catch cats after reading the mission scroll.
Even when catching the cat, Watanabe Kawa was led around for several minutes.
In the end, it was only thanks to Nanako Uzumaki's Adamantine Sealing Chains that the cat was finally caught.
"Although this cat is just a cat on the surface, it can train your reaction skills, teamwork, and other abilities, so..."
Didaze drew out the last syllable.
"You'll be doing this kind of mission again..."
Didaze said with a smile.
Apart from Nanako Uzumaki, the other two seemed quite withdrawn.
Nanako Uzumaki was secretly watching Didaze. She didn't care about any missions; she was happy just to see Didaze.
And so Didaze's team began a long period of grinding D-rank missions, taking on one D-rank mission after another...
Konoha
" Minato, do you know what? I saw someone who seems to be the Child of Prophecy!"
After traveling for two years, Jiraiya returned to Konoha and went straight to Minato Namikaze's house.
Minato Namikaze is now seventeen years old and has grown into a sunny and cheerful young man.
" The Child of Prophecy?"
Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised.
"A boy with the Rinnegan —I'm absolutely not mistaken, that's the Rinnegan!"
Jiraiya looked excited.
After all, this is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths!
He was wandering around Amegakure when he accidentally saw those eyes. Jiraiya immediately took the three of them as his disciples and taught them Ninjutsu and experience.
Hanzo of the Salamander had already spotted Jiraiya, but he ignored Jiraiya.
After all, Jiraiya was only there to teach his disciples, not to start a war, Hanzo of the Salamander didn't want to provoke someone from one of the Five Great Nations like Jiraiya unless absolutely necessary.
Whether he could win or not was another matter; the main problem was that Hanzo of the Salamander was afraid of trouble.
" The Rinnegan?"
Minato Namikaze widened.
"I must meet this junior brother someday!"
Minato Namikaze said with a smile.
"By the way, Minato, how's your Flying Thunder God technique coming along?"
Jiraiya seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Minato Namikaze.
The Scroll of Seals was obtained by Jiraiya from the Third Hokage, who then granted Third Hokage Minato Namikaze the right to view it.
Because he saw Minato Namikaze's potential, and he had previously thought that Minato Namikaze might be the Child of Prophecy.
But now Jiraiya Nagato, he has accepted that Nagato is the one who can change the Shinobi World.
After all, that's the Rinnegan, known as the Eye of God!
However, Jiraiya also knew that he shouldn't overdo it when guiding her; just enough was fine.
Give them the ability to protect themselves, and let them develop on their own.
Otherwise, someone who lives under his protection forever will never become someone who changes the Shinobi World.
"Hmm... I'd say I'm just starting out."
After thinking for a while Minato Namikaze decided to say it anyway.
Although I can already use the Flying Thunder God Technique, I haven't created my own unique Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu yet, so I guess I'm just a beginner?
"You've already mastered the basics of the Flying Thunder God Technique so quickly?"
Jiraiya stared at Minato Namikaze in shock.
You should know that the Flying Thunder God is the most difficult of all the Second Hokage 'Ninjutsu!
Users must have an exceptional sense of spatial awareness, a superb reflex, and outstanding talent; all three are indispensable!
Losing any one of them would be a fatal flaw in learning the Flying Thunder God!
"Well... it's not that surprising, is it?"
Minato Namikaze.
He felt that the Flying Thunder God was quite simple; it was just a matter of throwing a Kunai and making a whooshing sound.
What's so difficult about dodging and weaving?
If other people knew this, they'd be mortified.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, widely considered the most difficult Ninjutsu to learn, is actually considered simple in the hands of some people?
"Come and fight me! Let me see how well you've learned your beginner-level Flying Thunder God technique. I can give you some pointers!"
Jiraiya suppressed his surprise and prepared to test for himself just how much Minato Namikaze had learned!
After all, he was just a beginner in the Flying Thunder God Technique; it wasn't enough to make Jiraiya lose!
